Justification for Italy
THE Italian Green Book prcsonts Italy's
case so strongly that tho reader wonders
not why sho entered tho war, but how slio
ever had tho patience to keep out of It so
long. In Italy's war with Turkey, Germany
and Austria Insisted on their rights under
Artlclo 7 of tho Trlplo Alliance, so vigor
ously that Homo was compellod to forego
Important military enterprises, which would
havo shortened tho contest and saved mil
lions of lives. Yet both Germany and
Austria seemed to Ignoro utterly Italian In
terests when rushing Into tho present cata
clysm. Baron Sonnlno pointed out In his com
munication of May 3, denouncing tho nlllanco
with Austria, that Vienna "during tho sum
mer of 1914, without making any previous
arrangements with Italy and without giving
her oven tho slightest warning or heeding
tho advlco sent by tho Italian Government,
presented Serbia, July 23, with an ultimatum
which was tho cause and point of departure
of tho present European conflagration."
In splto of this flagrant violation of the
solemn agreement with Italy, a real neutral
ity was maintained for months, during which
period every effort was made to secure proper
compensations from Vienna. That capital,
however, introduced delay after delay of tho
most trifling sort, with a stupidity worthy of
tho diplomacy which has characterized Teu
tonic diplomacy In all negotiations during the
last year or two. There was nothing left for
Italy to do but fight, and that she has been
doing with a heroism and an efficiency which
havo already enhanced her reputation and
promise to add considerably to a history
already rich In glorious achievement.

In Europe has mado it impossible for Ameri

They simply need co-ordinating and adjust

It Is to bring about such a co-ordination of

Runnymede, 1215 Waterloo, 1815
THIS week furnishes two notable and sug
gestive centennials.
rn. - t -r t.ii i t-j it
At Runnymede, England, seven hundred
years ago tomorrow, King John, with tho
sword of the barons at his throat, signed tho
Magna Charta of English and American lib
erties. Seven centuries ago the Anglo-Saxons
dealt the first blow to that myth of "divine
right" which has led a great race Into dis
honorable conflict today; for Europe Is now
settling on an International scale the same
question Runnymede decided for England.
The other centennial has still more direct
ant fascinating analogies. One hundred years
ago a great military dictator faced a united
Europe and went down before it at Waterloo.
Then, as now, It seemed as If liberty we're
triumphing over despotism; yet there is this
disquieting thought for us to remember. In
spite of Napoleon's autocratic and imperial
istic background, he It was who represented
the great progressive legacy of the French
Revolution, and his vanquishers were the
ones who put the real despotism back in the
saddle or tried to. In somewhat the same
way Europe may even now be fighting a form
of industrial. Intellectual and artistic civiliza
tion which It may ultimately come to adot t.
But It is certainly fighting for tho essentia,
liberty to adopt It or not, as It pleases. Free
progress, and not a forced progress, la a real
Issue.
A Greek Theatre, but a Small One
IF THE Greek plays at the University
Botanical Gardens last week made one
thing clear to every one present. It was the
Insular fitness of that wooded spot for the
building of a permanent opan-alr theatre.

the most,
The theatres of old Greece, by crowded
seating arrangements and stretching In
definitely Uphill wherover rocks or (Trass savo
n, foothold, accommodated far more. But the
theatres of old Qrecco were served by actors
better trained for their task than ours. The
important thins Is to build such a theatre
as will let us hear tho lyrics of Euripides,
as we could not hear them last week. Mere
size cannot nltect tho financial aspect: more
performances Is tho answer to a small Beat
ins capacity. But tho right size means tho
keenest and fullest satisfaction,- Instead of
pleasure only half achieved.
Compromise Housing Law
THE new housing law Is confessedly a
compromise with lawlessness. It Is, there
fore, not so good a law as that nullified by
City Councils. It Is, on tho other hand, con
siderably better than no law at nil. It
assures better housing conditions In Phila
delphia than those now existing. It Is a
forward step In comparison with anything
wo havo yet had, although It Is a backward
stop In comparison with what wo might havo
enjoyed had Councils performed its sworn
duty and made effective a ntatuto of tho
Commonwealth.
Tho Governor is a practical man and ho
has acted as a practical man should. Tho
samo lnlluenco which had controlled Coun
cils had also a half-Nelson on tho Legisla
ture. That body was prepared to do what
over tho gang wanted it to do. The
Governor Interposed his veto to kill tho first
disgraceful bill passed by this Legislature.
He compelled tho nulllflcrs to meet decent
citizenship half way. This In Itself was a
triumph when the subserviency of Ilarrls
burg Is considered. It Is also, in a manner,
a triumph for thoso determined men and
women who in tho most discouraging cir
cumstances never slackoncd tholr energies in
fighting for this particular reform.
It was tho privilege of tho Evbnino
XjEDonn to glvo wide publicity to tho dis
gusting conditions which rcqulrod attention,
to oxposo tho conspiracy of nullification
which prevented tho law from being mado
effectlvo, and to arouso tho public to tho
necessity of doing something. Mr. Con
nelly, whose word seems to bo law in Coun
cils, gives assurances that proper appropri
ations to makb tho law operatlvo will bo
made. That was one of tho conditions of
the compromise. It may bo anticipated,
thercforo, that thcro will bo better housing
hereafter In tho congested districts. Better
housing means better citizens, and moro of
them, too, if tho health records aro not
Illusory.
Trying to Make a Traitor of a Judgo
HECTORING Judgo Llndsey seems to bo
tho most popular sport In Donvor, year
in and year out. Now thoy want to put hlra
into Jail because ho refuses to betray tho
confidence- of a child whoso mother was
accused of murder and acquitted.
Tho genial Judge declares that he is ready
to go to tho Supremo Court to establish In
this country the principle that to violate tho
confldenco of a child, "or even to bo mado
to testify to any confidential relation be
tween tho Judgo and a child In tho Juvenile
Court Is contrary to public policy."
Ho probably will not havo to go to so
high a tribunal to establish a principle bo
obviously Just and fair. Public sentiment
has a way of deciding public policy In tho
United States, and Jn cases of this sort it is
not often that high courts aro tn disagree
ment with the people.
Flag Day
ON THIS anniversary of the adoption of
the Stars and Stripes every patriotic
American Is saying to himself:
And tho Btar-spangled banner, oh long may

No Moro "Dutch Courage"
NO MORE "Dutch courage" for tho Ger
man soldier! That Is tho burden of Ad
miral von Mueller's letter to tho German
Association. Light wines or beer If the drink
ing water is not pure, but BChnapps or any
stronger drink, never. The necessity of con
serving bodily strength and spiritual morale
dictates that such boverages "may under no
circumstances bo given to tho troops."
Great Britain takes a still moro definite
step to protect Its "industrial soldiers." By
orders In council, tho board to control the
liquor trafllo within certain prescribed areas
Is authorized to regulate the hours of salo,
to prevent "treating," and even to prohibit
sale altogether. Still further, the board is
empowered to take over the management of
saloons In areas where munitions of war are
made and to sell liquor without license In
factories doing Government work.
England seems to take the firmer and moro
farseelng position In this vital matter of the
relation of drink to efficiency. It has In Its
hands the power to prohibit, and tho. still
more Important power to nationalize and
clean up the liquor traffic if It is more desir
able. Europe Is furnishing America with
some laboratory experiments that ought to be
of prime value to the legislators over here
who are tinkering with tho drlnk-trade.
The old "grads" are being boya again Just

When Russia needs locomotives It knows

CAN LITTLE WILLIE
BECOME A GENIUS?
Yea, Almost, If His Parents Go
About It IndhofBIght Way They
Must Look to Willie's Mental
Collar.
By ROSS HOLYOKB
CAN genius bo manufactured? Can your
own little Wllllo bo made Into a certain
futiiro Shakespeare, by a simple Httto quirk
In his education?
It Is overy mother's dream, every father's
fancy, Thcro lies llttlo Wllllo Jn his crib. All
sorts of potentialities reside In Wllllo. He
mAy become a great bulldor of bridges. Ho
may write great poems, win great battles. Or
he may die In tho electrlochalr. Which will
It bo? Every fond parortt lias his hopes-
nay, has his convictions. Is not every llttlo
Wllllo tho brightest boy that ever toddlod7
Does any llttlo Franklo or Georgia uttor
suoh bright romarlta? Tho fathor of llttlo
Wllllo Is an authority oir'thls subject, and
he emphatically nays not.
Yet aB llttlo Wllllo growacloscr nnd closer
to manhood, what Is that manhood to bo?
Will ho keep up his bright remarks and bo
como a great sago? or Just nn avcrago suc
cessful corner grocer? There lies tho hitch
Llttlo Wllllo In his crib Is after nil only 'ft
guess. Or ho has bocn up to now. Until
today you never could bo sure of Willie.
Evon whero Wllllo roallyfljao grown up to bs
a great man, tho fact Is often discovered
only after Wllllo has been dead for cen
turies. "BlifTkins" in Lettem of FIro
Now nil this Is changed. Tou may con
fidently hope for tho best in regard to Willie.
Morn " nn that, you may mako deadly sure
of his becoming a credit to tho family. By
following simple dlroctlona William Bllffklns
may go to bed any night nod mako suro that
Wllllnm Bllffklns, Jr., will one day wako to
writo tho family namo In letters of flro ncross
tho sky. This Is spoken on tho authority of
tho now psychology.
And uftor all It Is very simple, very plausi
ble. It rings true. Psychology says that
overy human being contains ono completo
subconsciousness, given frco with his life.
This subconsciousness carefully nnd auto
matically stores up every Impression, overy
cxperlonco encountered by tho owner thereof
from his earliest days. Tho conscious mem
ory may not retain theso Impressions, but
tho subconsciousness docs, down to tho last
dotnll. Everything thnt pnSscs through tho
eye, tho car, tho nose, Is dumped forever Into
this BUbcellar of tho mind. Most of theso Im
pressions Ho thcro unusucd. A few of them
creep up into tho conscious memory and
stick there. Somo of them only creep up
when you are nslccp, and scaro you dread
fully. But they arc thcro nil the time, never
theless. And tho man of genius Is only tho
man who has loarned how to llsh up useful
matter from his mental collar and put it to
gether effectively. So, at least, tho now
psychologist says.
It stands to reason, too, whon you listen to
his argument. Most men of genius wero re
garded as fools in their boyhood. Scott was
always at tho foot of his class. Darwin was
tho despair of his father, who wanted him to
be a minister. Balzac's papa trained him to
bo a lawyer, and worried nights about his
boy. And why this apparent stupidity? Only
that tho boy, deliberately or not, Is devoting
nil tho resources of his mentality to stock
that cellar of his with all tho Impressions ho
can gather. Ho Is too busy with that to
bother his conscious mind with learning
dates In history or tho names of English
kings.
When tho man of genius is at work, ho
scarcely needs to work his brain at all. Ho
Just dreams, and up come tho Impressions
from his mental cellar. Coleridge wrote
"Kubla Khan" from a dream. All he had to
do was to rhymo It, and there It was. Goethe
often woko from a sort of somnambulistic
stato In which ho wroto poetry without oven
taking tho trouble to bo nwako. Groat mathe
maticians have had oxcruclatlngly difficult
problems solved for them by their subcon
clousness, nnd whllo tholr real brain was
enjoying tho comforts of sleep. In otlier
words, genius consists simply of having a
well-stocked cellar. And, of course, knowing
how to use It.
Stocking Up tho Cellar
But ns overy human being Is presented
with ono of these mental cellars at birth,
whnt simpler than to teach him how to fill It
well, and then utilize its contents. Kind out
what phlefly interests little Willie, and then
slap that to him with all your might. If
Wllllo displays an early aptitude for flowers,
perhaps It means that he has an eyo for
color and will becomo a painter. Take him
gently by the hand and walk him out Into
the country nnd let tho landscape soak Into
him. Show him tho subtle differences be
tween the noses of your friends. Help him
to gather all tho details essential to his craft.
Soon ho will let go your hand nnd forage for
Impressions on his own account. And be
sure you glvo him his head. The little bud
ding gonlus will know better than you what
to put Into his cellar.
Or you might put a pen In his hand, and
study If ho have an inborn aptitude for Its
use. It may well be that he Is destined to
bo a great poet. Next try a saw. Engineer
Ing or architecture may be his forte. But
once you have detected his true bent, throw
everything you oan Into his cellar that can
be of any praotlcal use to him afterward.
Show him the Brooklyn bridge. Let him
hear sweet music. And above all be Bure you
do not Interrupt those momenta when he sits
and seems to be thinking of nothing. Those
are the dreams of genius. He Is listening to
the impressions awlrljng round In his cellar.
Tou see, we have never properly harnessed
up our subconsciousness. Anybody can do It.
The man of genius is what he is only be
cause all untaught he has learned the trick
of making his subconsciousness do his work
for him. It seems to be a willing worker,
once you have learned how to drive It.
Tha new psychologist will tell you how
to set to work. You will find this mat
ter far from being a Joke. Because you may
do harm as well as good with the aubcon
selousnSM of your darling Willie. For hV
etanee. never threaten Willie with the polios
man when he Is naughty. Later in life that
idea of the policeman .may stalk up out of
the cellar of his mind and give him the fixed
Idea, that a polleeman is waiting for him
round every corner. He will have a "hug," a
njasla, that may plague him all his days.
Hven if you th!k it vulgar to have a genius
In the family, you cannot be too careful of
the subconsciousness tn your little Willie.

BILLIONS OF WASTE IN YEAR'S CROPS
Uncle Sam Could Maintain a Standing Army of a Million Men
If He Cashed In His Waste Food Products.
The Wonders of Thrift.
By B. W,
WITH object lessons of war-mado thrift
pouring in on us from the sizzling vortex
of Europo thcro never was a better lncentlvo
In this country to study waste, particularly
tho wasto of our bountiful products of tho
soil. Government forecasts indicate a $12,000,
000,000 crop yield' for 1915. To apply tho word
"bumper" to Buch a yield would sound almost
as silly as prefixing tho adjectlvo tiny to a
mammoth. When wo pyramid our totals to
billions oven superlatives nro without forco or
significance. Indeed, wo havo como to a period
of top-totals that dofy tho arts and crafts of
word Jugglers and madden the painstaking
and conservative statistician. It Is only when
wo strlvo to reduce vastness to simple every
day terms that we get anywhere.
So It must bo with our study of food wasto.
Of cdurse, we must use somo figures, and wo
must add and subtract, multiply and divide.
Only by so doing may we pry Into tho little
nooks and corners nnd out-of-the-way crov
lces that need cleaning out and reforming. It
Is duo to tho sweeping out nnd conserving of
tho last crumbs In millions of cupboards
that Germany is enabled to defy a world of
enemies nnd obtain Becurlty from starva
tion and want.
Burning Up Money
Nover beforo In tho history of our national
development havo wo had a better oppor
tunity to study ways and means of stop
gapping our enormous wastes of food prod
ucts than In this unprecedented year of
plenty. Wo aro told that our expected 960,
000,000 bushels of wheat will market them
selves without wasto because of the needs of
tho warring nations. Unless tho Dardanelles
has been opened meantime this wheat will
bring war prices. The farmer should obtain
slightly better than $1 a bushel; the railroads
nnd steamship companies will earn millions
hauling It. But there will bo waste, many
millions in waste. Thousands of tons of straw
will bo burned In tho field, straw that would
bo husbanded down to the last stalk In Ger
many or France for cattlo food, for bedding.
Innumerable uses would bo mado of this by
product under the Impulse of war-mado
thrift. Its Intrinsic value would run welt
Into the millions.
There is nn evon greater waste of corn
products, nn annual wasto of J200,000,000, ac
cording to ono student of tho value of by
products, and this Includes only tho estimate
of field waste, the abandonment of the corn
stalk to the processes of decay and evapora
tion. The more progressive farmers are re
ducing the waste year by year. The Inven
tion nnd perfection of the silo has accom
plished" vast savings. Tho silo Is a cylindri
cal tank for the storing of chopped cornstalks
and! other fodder crops. The fermentation of
Juices in the silo acts as a preservative, nnd
the silage Is fed to stock during the winter
months. Thousands of these instruments of
conservation have been built throughout the
corn belt during the past few years, and the
progress made In this direction alone will ac
complish a huge saving. Nevertheless, there
are hundreds of thousands of farmers who
will not or cannot build silos or resort to
other saving devices that are forced upon
the peasantry of Europe by economic condi
tions, or else have become Ingrained habits
due to war-made thrift.
Given the continuance of favorable condi
tions this summer wo should make our first
$2,000,000,000 corn crop. This Is our premier
crop. The value of Just one year's yield rep.-'
resents 60 per cent, of the total value of ail
our farm property In 1850. and the waste of
the byproduct of this crop within the last 20
years will, It is estimated, total beyond tho
two billion mark. There aro some statisti
cians who reckon that scientific conserva
tion of oorn byproducts would add at least
IB0O.000.00O a year to the value of this crop',
or sufficient to support our Federal Depart
ment of Agriculture for 20 years.
Teaching the Boys and Girls
The bulk of our corn crop is converted into
meat and milk and eggs, but there is great
additional wasto In the various prooessea of
conversion. The application of buelness
fflelenoy or so-called scientific first aids in
these processes are as yet in their fnf0n
but have struck out with great forward
strides within the last 10 years.
Mentioning eggs, which resllyoome to us
by the corn byprotfuot route, the 'Depart,
ment of Agriculture estimates an annual loss
of HO.GOO.OOO a yap from spoiled eggs. Were
it not for the advances made with cold
storage facilities this loss would be trlptaA
Thai is a fact that should be '"""rurrna
into the intellects of certain supsrbstusd
reforms who go off haif-eodud in tu.
Kefca upon cold storage mupaUd.- Far-4
193.fr
VACATION PLANS ARE NOW DECIDED UPON
CURRIE
thormorc, poultry and eggs provide only ono
Item In tho conservation of wasto that Is
primarily duo to tho Invention nnd develop
ment of cold storage aids. Every porlsh
ablo food product Is Included In tho long
list.
Tho $40,000,000 loss In Bpolled eggs re
ferred to could bo saved merely by banish
ing tho roosters from tho flocks whon their
services nro no longer Important. Infcrtllo
eggs keep twlco as long as fertllo eggs
without tho aid of cold Btorage. Wo nro
teaching the3o essentially , important facts
to 100,000 boys nnd girls In our schools and
colleges today, whereas fc decade ago such
knowledge was regarded as "scientific
pabula" for scholars nnd Indoor specialists.
Our potato crop does not begin to rank
up with our cereals in point of wealth of
yield, yet tho nnnual wasto from this crop
scales Into tho millions. Tako tho Maino
potato crop alone, which Is not moro than
5 per cent, of our national crop of nearly
500,000,'000 bushels, nnd listen to what ono
conservationist has to say on tho subject of
wasto:
Tho annual Malno shipment 13 35,000 cars.
Tho average waste Is 20 bushels per car or
7Q0.000 bushels. Tho averago freight from
Malno to Now England and New York points
is 15 cents a bushel, or $105,000. Tho extra
labor employed because of this wasto mixed
all through tho cars is at least $5 per car,
or $175,000. Hero Is a total waste of $280,
000 without giving any valuo to tho potato
culls. '
And this Is only ono tiny possibility of
tho stoppage of waste. Thero aro othor
potato States whero tho wasto 13 vastly
greater. Two years ago whon potatoes wcro
selling for 80 cents a peck In Los Angeles
millions of bushels of spuds wero rotting
In tho ground In tho San Joaquin Delta of
California, moro millions wero rotting In tho
Walla Wnlla district of Oregon.
If our nnnual wasto of staples runs Into
tho hundreds of millions so does tho an
nual wasto of fruit products.
Home-canning on tho farm of what wo
would have to list otherwlso as wasto food
products will savo to the nation, say the
Government specialists, at least $100,000,000
annually. Tho American housowlfo could "add
$200,000,000 moro to that by tho exercise of
thrift and Intelligent management In the
kitchen. Tho German Government has
thought enough of Just this one phase of
thrift to issue what amounts almost to nn
edict on thrift to the German housewife,
and from what wo havo observed of tho
German housewife In tho past thero was tho
least possible necessity for such a caution.
It would simply be heaping up superfluous
evidence to list nil of the products of tho
soil nnd estimate the loss In wasto of each
separate product. Nor is it possible to
work out an exact equation for any one
product. At the best wo would havo to doal
with constantly fluctuating approximations.
What we can determine, however, beyond
perodventuro of doubt, is tho fact that our
waste of food products runs Into the billions
nnd that It would not require any burden
some exercise of thrift to cash In this waste
for sufficient dollars to support a standing
army of a million men.

"MY PRESIDENT"
To the- Editor of Evening Ltdgerl
Sir As an Englishman of almost 20 years'
rcBiacnco in mis country, i wisn to thank yw
for your most nblo and fair editorial In todai
ircjuu rcitjuiiiis iu mu uibi nolo sent Dy Presf.
cieni wuson 10 ine uerman uovernraent main'
ly about tho Lusttnnta Incident.
I am not naturalized because, to alter nm..
what a well-known quotation, "It Is not that
I lovo America less, but that I love Englatl
more." Nevertheless, if nnythlng could Induce
mo to change my nationality it would be to
thnt I could say "My President," not only oai
Mr. wnson-s account, out Decause I believe,
with n wldo acquaintance here, that at the
present time he represents the opinion of 50
per cent, of tho American people.
I remain still with tho highest regards tot'.
American ideals. AN ENGLISHMAN,
Philadelphia, Juno 11.
TREED
From tho Baltimore American.
The first woman student In the course of I
forestry established nt a prominent college mirjjH
rica anomer stuuent in time to receive tbeUJ
graduation degrees together. This Is one cfl
the few Instances In which Cupid has been dt-1
tectcd taking to tho woods.
IN THE "ZOO"
Exiles, they tread their narrow bounds
Behind the Iron bars.
AVhoro'er they turn, the hand of rn&n
Their straining vision mars,
Savo only when at night they gaze
Upon tho friendly stars.
See! there a golden eagle broods
With glazed, unseeing eyes
That nover more will sweep the snows
Whero blue Sierras rise;
And there, sick for his native hills,
A sullen panther lies.
What dreams of silent polar nights
Disturb the white bear's sleep?
Roams he once more unfettered where
Eternal Ice-floes sweep?
What memories of the Jungle's ways
Does that gaunt tiger keep?
Such wistful eyes the hartbeest turn
Beyond their cramped domain;
They seem to .see the yellowing leagues
Of wind-swept veldt again.
And look) a springbok lifts his head
As though he smelled tho plain.
Exiles, they tread their narrow bounds
Behind the Iron bars,
For thus tho ruthless hand of man
Each God-made creature mars.
But oh, what hungry eyes they raise
Up to the friendly stars!
