Our stake is smaller than most of the
others, but there is a principle at stake. It
is this principle for which Secretary Hull
is fighting. He objects to being kicked out

bath.
It is called, not without reason, the most
serious angle of conflict with Japan since

From the New Orleans Item:
General Pershing prepares at 77 for a
new offensive. He will command the allied
forces of government and science in the
national campaign against ayphilis. Gen.
Hugh Johnson is already in the field. Gen-
eral Hugh doesn’t usually relish taking or-
ders, but we may assume that he will salute
his chief in this war.
The prominence of these two military men
in the latest national health crusade can
hardly be accidental. Neither had to serve.
Military men know better then any other
class except physicians the extent of venereal
disease and how essential to national health
it is to check it.
The army may have to fight other men
sometime, but they have to fight v mnereal
disease all the time. The war was old when

lief situation.
Texas has been making great progress m
recent years in btilding a system of con-
nected roads, but the program is far from
complete. Many serious gaps are found in
all parts of the state. Since motorists pay
for this construction, they feel that the pro-
gram should be carried out without delay.
Highways pay their own way, and nothing
should be done in Washington to curtail
or hamper the construction program of the
several states. Rather, the federal govern-
ment should continue and enlarge its present
contribution to a good cause.

—trenches of secrecy, bcing drtven iuto the
open, revealed not only as a scourge—but.
as curable and preventable.
No wonder the old generals, colonels and
majors are signing up for the fight. It is
one that most of them have hoped for. Both
Pershing and Johnson would probably con-
tribute a million dollars if they had it.
Under a Tokyo dateline (so it must have
bean approved by the Japanese censor) a
dispatch yesterday quoted the Japanese
newspaper Nichi Nichi as saying two sub-
lieutenants in the Japanese army are en-
gaged in a bit of friendly rivalry that may
result in much honor to themselves and glory
to the mikado's realm.
The sub-shavetails are in a race to see
which is first to kill one hundred Chinese
soldiers. The dispatch insisted on “soldiers,
so we may conclude that women and chil-
dren don't count. They sre, presumably,
classed as were Mexicans and Indians in the
old days of the American wild W est—just
incidents in the day's shootings.
This matter-of-fact report from the Orient
gives us Americans a tingly sort of feeling
st the roots of our hair and a slight unease
in the pits of our stomachs. And the feeling
is in nowise relieved when the dispatch
records the present standings of the ambi-
tious contestants. One has bagged 56 Chinese
soldiers, the other only 26.
Tsken with the revelations in the recent
book by Vittorio Mussolini, son of 11 Duce,
who characterized aerial bombings of Ethi-
opian natives as “great fun,” this little item
from Tokyo brings up unpleasant memories.
Memories of the time not so many years
ago when the whole world was at war, and
bumping off the enemy in squads, platoons
and companies was considered a highly hon-
orable business, even by the Caucasian
peoples.
That is war.
