KIKTCIIENEU'fr'THIF EAST
What Lord Kitchener is going to
tile Near East for, nobody outside the
iii i<ISM war office seems to know pre
cisely. Dut it's possible to hazard
a pretty safe guess. Ile will prob
ably try to do in thc Balkans rwhat
he did in South Africa/
When the Doer? hud hold out
against thc Hritih.li urmies until thc
prsctlgu of thc Urltlah empira was
threatened, "Kitchener of Khartoum"
wat; Kent to Bupprc-ss them. He didn't
do anything melodramatic-Kitchener
ian't the melodramatic sort. ?le
tackled the Job OB a sort of engineer
ing problem, ile started from the
cape and built a row of blockhouses
across tho little oud of the continent,
half a mile apart, facing the Boers*
most advanced outposts. That .mude
a fence of fortifications tho Boers
couldn't cross. Thon ho forced them
buck a few miles and built nu )i her
line of blockhouses across South Af
rica. He repeated that laborious,
tedious operation,, littlo by llttlo
crowding the Boera back and wear
ing them down until their resources
wero gono and .their spirit was
broken. *
Kitchener may try something of the
aanio uort in tho Balkan Peninsula.
Ho will seo, of course,-to the tighten
ing of Britain's political and military
fencos in Egypt, along the Suez canal
and around Gallipoli, and in India if
tho need appoars. But bis nain task
Hocms to Ho north of Constantinople.
If he can cut through between tho
Teutons and tho Turks, and thon with
tho aid of tho French. and Italians
and possibly tho QreqkB, slowly roll
tlio invaders northward out of ' the
Balkan peninsula, he will have won
a blggor triumph than lie won in
South Africa;*.'ana i made German do

worthy of "K. of K."

MISPLACING PITY
Don't pity .the children of "poor
in tho brie ? Spaten ; America wbero
thoy have been -supposed' to dasorve
the most commiseration for their hard
lot-in -r^-'i?rk^?-B?at' Side. For
thoy haW-a bettor chance to-succeed
in life than have tho children of na
tive Americana. '
Such at anylt/atjQ seems a fair in
ference from a roport of.the New York
health department. It appears thut
in nativo born families 44 out ot
every 1,000 boys-and SS ?out of every
.1,000 girls die before the age of five
years.' Among; the.foreign born only
30 boya die, and o?iy 32 girls.
Part cf tho'difference may be count
ed for by the' explandtioh that char
itable institutions do more. Education
al work among the allons than ?meng
native. Americans, but that doesn't
carry much conviction. It is doubt
ful whether Buch instruction really
counterbalancesT'the* deleterious ef
fects of ignorance, -poverty and un
sanitary housing. It-ia- -really- the
greater, natural - vigor o? tho allen
children-that enables them, even in
n bad envlornment, to reslBt tho all
then ta of infancy better .than childi-- a
of older Americans.. . '"*'.'.
. Add to this lower - deathrato *ue
fact that the- birth rate anion;;' our im
migrants is from 30 to 60 per thou
sand, vr?ii?o ??io??g American-born it i
ls only from 12 to 20, and lt is easily
5??? Vrifi; th* c-u??uren of immigrants
forge ahead so' fast In competition
with the older Americans. ! !
ll ED C110SS PREPAREDNESS
The American Red Cross has joined
the ranks of the preparedness en
thusiasts. The leaders of the organ
isation soy that while wo aro organ
izing our national defense, wo must
make olaborato.preparations for tuk
in-; care of the soldiers that would bo
wounded hv case of war^. ?Th?y want
to form ? larder organization, to es

new basia. We faco tho prospect o?
doubling, or even trebling, our war
expenditure:) for the next few years,
although they aro already as heavy
BB Germany's were until lat-ly. Arid
on top of that, tho Red Cross wants
$100,000,000 more of our money. '
This is turning national defense in
to national hysteria. Certainly wo
want to strengthen our defonses, but
there is no immediate reason why we
should lose our heads about' it. Let
its have more soldiers and Bailors and
ships 'and guns, though by no means
so many as the alarmists are clamor
ing for;. Let us have, too, a Red Cross
organization of. the highest efficiency,
and a Red CroBB plan worked out in
every det?il for handling the Bituation
In caBO of foreign invasion. But there
la no more need to raise $100,000,
000 today to i'm unco the Red Cross for
a hypothetical war'than there is tb
establish expensive detention camps
for the prisoners Wo expect'to. tako
in that. war.
If tba .Red. Cross want?: to raise
millions of dollars to spend in al
leviating the present suffering In
Europe, that is a different matter. No
body can object, to that, and. every
body who can afford to should con
tribute.
HOBE "JERSEY JUSTICE"
It !B a little difficult to grasp. tho
philosophy ot Mark Fagan, mayor of
Jersey City, with rogar? to tho liquor
problem.
Tho mayor, who is known as a
friend of the children, lias had mia
ire aroused by the refusal ot .apart
ment houses along Hudson Boulevard
to admit families with children. Cast
ing about for a lever to use in forc
ing, thom to adopt a more liberal
policy,' he finds e?e ready to his hand.
A request reaches the city ball, for a
bar. license* for a $40,OOO. apartment
house: to be erected. Most "bf . these
big, modern institutions, it appears,
have barb Thereupon Mayor Fagan
announces; lils, policy:
"No kids, no bars! I will not tol
era to . a liquor license ia any placo'
whero children are forbidden/*.^
Tho logical connection between tho
children abd tho bars may not be per
fectly obvious, but ita there, no doubt.
Perhaps the bars are for tho children.
Anyhow . the liquor la to bV conven
iently . avail ablo only to tba fi at-d wei -
1^ who hes children. . And the flat
dweller who hasn't any. kiddles to buy
atices for and set a good example te,
ahd whose alcoholic indulgence Would
be least harmful to his family and so
ciety in general-ho- ia ib go thirsty.
