HOW LONG CAN AUTOCRACY HOLD OUT? THE war will end when autocracy especially the Prussian brand flnd it impossible longer to get armies to fight for it. How near that time is tio man knows. It would be a fatal mistake for us to assume that it is to urrlve soon enough to relieve us from the necessity of mobilizing all our available force to defeat the autocrats, even if they have every man in their nations behind thm. Yet an examination of conditions in Germany and Austria-Hungary may be profitable. We know the state of opinion in Americn. We know whnt It w ould be if wc had been fighting for nenrly four years when we had thought wc could win our war in four months. Folks arc folks, whatever language they may speak. Therefore we can conceive some thing of the state of opinion in the Cen tral empires. But we do not have to interpret the people there in the light of our own mental processes. We have some fucts. Take the case of Austi la-Hungary: Authentic reports hae come acioss the ocean that Bohemians have deserted from the Austrian armies and are fighting with the Italians. Eighteen thousand Aus trian prisoners in Italy from the Tinn sylvanian and Bukowinian districts alio asked permission to join the Italian armies to fight their Austrian oppiessors. The request has been granted. News of what is happening cannot be kept fiom the disafTcctcd subjects of Emperor Carl at home. When they learn what deter mined men have done to secure the de struction of the forces of oppression they will be encouraged to net for themselves. It was frequently said that the empire would be broken up as soon ns Francis Joseph died, because loyalty to him was all that kept it together. The disaffection which existed in time of peace has been increased by tho demonstration of the horrors into which n monarch without the nerve to resist Gciman machinations has plunged them. The people are without sufficient food and their sons arc dying in battle in order to make the Kaiser great. It is unreasonable to expect them to sub mit much longer. Progressive disinte gration is at work in Austria-Hungaiy. Conditions in Germany are not so bad. But the party of democracy, which is growing politically stronger than any 0th-- single German naity. is fighting the military faction. The line between the Liberals and the Pan-Germans is becoming sharper every month. The Lib erals are determined to force their views on the Government. Not long ago there was an election for the Reichstag in a district in Saxony. Thousands of marks were spent by the war party to defeat tho Social Democratic candidate, but he was chosen by the largest majority ever given in the district. When President Wilson set forth his fourteen terms of peace, conventions attended by 12.000 persons were held in Frankfort and Munich, which adopted the President's terms as their platform. The Government forbade any mention of their action to bo printed. It is generally believed by those famil iar with the state of opinion in Germany that the drive in Picardy was begun for the purpose of convincing the Liberals that the military party could win the war. Men were sacrificed by the tens of thou sands in a desperate attempt to break through and save the party from a bitter political attack at home. The attempt has thus far failed and an effort is likely to be made to appease the disaf fected by broadening the suffrage basis in Prussia. But as soon as the suffrage is extended the Social Democrats will elect a majority over nil in the Reichstag and will call tho militarists to an account. These conditions in the Central empires will have their influence on the duration of the war. But 3,000,000 Americans in arms in Europe will have a more decisive effect. o one can sa nonadajs that the do not know how to root at Hog Island NOTHER QUARTER OF A MILLION rnnn expansion of tho National ,imy - In to begin In lanust toduj with tho call for 250,000 moro men from those on the draft lists. Other calls must be made as soon as these men are trained, if not before The Goternment lias at last come to a realization of the necessity of getting an army big enough to do the work befoie It. The nation Is expected to stand behind the Administration. The draft boards arc llkelj to pass everj man qualified to sere. The exemptions pieWously made for trivial phjsical de fects will be abandoned. If a joung man Is strong enough to go about his business In time of peace he Is strong enough to fight the Germans. Unless we mistake the temper of the men on the lists, few of them free to go will seek the Inglorious distinction of lielng knows as slackers. The fact that a man can make 1000 automobiles a day does not )roe that he could be a good Senator Dut we always assume that If a man makes good at one Job he can become a statesman. THE NEW AMERICAN SPORT SHIPBUILDERS In America at present need a Kipling or a Jack London to in terpret them not only to the country but to themselves. Theirs Is the crucial task. Men at the shipyards, those In the riveting crews, others In all the branches of their colossal work, seem to realize dimly the dramatic values Involved, for they are con stantly bringing a sort of competitive sport ing inatlncf to Inspire speed, celerity and efficiency In the most important enterprise of the war.

PUTTING BOOKS ON THE TRANSPORTS By Ctluard Frank Alien TOWN near the Hoboken waterf-ont, -' where the ships that were German sail fiom docks that vveie Getman loaded with soldiers who ale American, there are three saloons that suddenlj lost their use fulness when war was declared. Today those erstwhile places of entertainment nio the scenes of well-ordered activity, for thora the Commission on Training Camp Activities, acting thiough the American Library Association, has established u dis patch station from which books ore sent on board the Bhlps that are going to France A similar office has been estab lished ut Newport News In a building con structed foi tho purpose. These dispatch stations nie to bundle the bulk of the "overseas" shipments, Including those to the American naval bases abroad The Hoboken office looks like the ship ping room of a big publishing house that Is doing u iccord-hreaklng business. The walls aie lined with boxes arranged as shelves, and In them are stacked books waiting to be fotted and packed. Many of them are bmnd new, having been ac quired by purchase, while others look us though the) might have been read once befoie being donated to the fighting men. "1ASLS of uniform sls-e, each holding flftv volumes me filled with n well-rounded selection of hooks and put aboard the ships. The nlm is to have two of them containing 100 books, to each company, but the mattci Is finally determined by the amount of available space. The cases arc milked 'On Deck," so that they will not he stowed In the hold, and each one Is so fitted with bolts that when there nie several they ran bo fastened together In the form of a bookcase. On the vojage they are opened and the hooks arc read. When the ship docks on the other side ot the Atlantic the covers nre screwed on again nnd the boxes turned over to one of the ngencles for distribution, among which are tho army chaplains, the Red Cross, the Salvation Aim) and otheis. A LTHOUGH man) of the same ships are - being tifed, the army transport is a very diffeient proposition fiom the luxu ilous transatlantic liners of pre-war travel No more ure the smoking loom, the palm garden, the ItitzCiirlton lestaurnnt, the gjmnaslum Partitions have been knocked out with luthless efficiency, so that bunks may be ptovlded for the maximum number of men A full passenger list in foi Hin di) s was fiom a half to a quarter the num ber of troops now curled, so it can rcudll) be seen that there Is little waste space.

SATURDAY, MAY 4, 1 i':" ' f-i '- 4B A GREAT WAR CORRESPONDENT Philip Gibbs, the Voice on the Western Front By CURISTOriinii MORLEY EVF.lt since the beginning of the cieal war a r.ulct voice has been speaking from the battle lines of France and Flan ders, a voice that Is now lecognueil as that of one of the gioatest coriespondents the eonlllct has pioduced It Is the voice of Philip Glbbs The voice of Mr Glbbs has a ver) dif ferent tone and accent from those of most war correspondents. The tuilltlonal re porter of battles describes In many colored detail his own adv entities, perils and flnm bo)ant humors amid the shock of armies. Particularly our American correspondents In the field have been full of this vitality of self expression. Their readerti are never permitted to forget to whom and around whom these stirring events happen. B UT Mr Glbbs's Instinct Is olhciwise has not merely sunk himself beneath the surface of his narrative: he has plainly and utteily forgotten himself His lepoits, written In the simplest of moving words, describe the honors and hetolsms of the men among whom he has been moving, or the dazed white faces of old men and women cowering In hamlets blotted and befouled Fiom the day Mr Glbbs left London for Pails (lul) 29, 1914) he has steadfusth clung to one aim to grope, with perhaps ballled but ever pitiful and understanding e)es, for the soul of the vast tragedy; the spirit and meaning that lie behind those wlndiows of .ghastl), wrltheu dead Deliberate!) he washes his paper clean of the vivid painting loved of most describers. He utters his woids sparlnglj, In n painful emotion. Behind every s) liable he utters lie the weight and sadness of unforgettable tragedies, gallant und impeilshuble deeds. rpiILKFIN lies the seciet of Philip Glbbs's -1- noble success as a war correspondent. He has become the chief Interpretet to the British empire ot the heaits and minds of Britons In the field. Day by day vve can Imaglno him mingling with the men. see ins their weariness, their unfaltering cour oge, their jests, their wounds. He knows that the heart of England beats on those sodden fields: he knows that eveiy home, small or great. ) earns to hear what Its own men have been doing. That rich love of native soil and blood that Is, so domi nant a strain in all British living Is para mount In his thought He tells what the Kents are doing, the Gloaccsters, the Coldstream The peat-hags of Galway, the heather of the Scot, the dales anil moors of Yorkshiie, the "blue goodness of th Sussex Weald," all these are In his heart as he sits down, after some soul-shatteilng day, to describe what their lads are achieving Sometimes a kind of hopeless ness rises In his heart, a despair of saying the tithe of what he has seen. TT IS sy"mpathj. humanlt.' and plain Judgment that make Glbbs's dispatches stand up above all others. When a room ful of men aie shouting at the full com pass of their lungs, a quiet, pondered voice is doubly Impressive. He has put into his vyork the same ideal passion that has led the armies of freedom to outface flame and steel. His hand, as much as that of any weary private In the muck, is tireless to do Its task to humanize our world once more. He never forgets that these "divi sions" of which we speak so glibly are bi others and husbands and fathers like oui selves Telling some touching Incidents 1918 "YOU SHALL." of Flemish peasants In their hioken Mi lages, he s,i)t, "I vvilto llteso things bo rause thev htimauizo tho map-names." Uo nlone of nil the correspondents has told again and again of the mortal weariness ot the men, how, sick with sleep hunger, dazed and crushed with lassitude, they have clung together and crushed down that poppled foe that Is moic potent than Mtccl He has little time or patience to wnsto nn hating. There nie brave men, too, on the other side. Gibbs lias gone Into this licl -.villi tho clear oes of a man who, nnilil tliiin'ilois nnd quaklngs, inn it cnptnln his icnson Trom Jay to da), wilting under the pain ful stress of weariness anil haste, ho ne-vcr forgets his chosen Intent: "If theie Is an) purpose In witat I have wilttcn bejoud mcio lecurif, it in to reveal the soul of war so nakedly that It .intuit be glossed ovct bv the glamoui ci'r f.iNo sentiment and false huolcs It Is mj conviction that anv man who has seen these things must, If he h is any gift of expiession und an) human pit), dedlcato his hi aln and heait to the sacred dut) ()f preventing another war like this To tell tlie ti ut li about this nionsltoiis hot ror, to etch Its images of ciueltv lulu the brains of Its lenders nnd lo teiu down the veils b) which the leaders of the ptople trj to conceal Its obscenities " TATR.

His father, Henry Glbbs, was a well known educator In England and-chose to train his sons laigely at home Young Gibbs, alwajs bookish, begun his career In the office of n large London publishing L nouse ue began to write novels at an earl) age Then in his eailj twenties he woiked for a large newspaper sjndicate In the north of England, to which one may perhaps ascribe his keen sjmpathy with the Lancashire and Yorkshiie regiments shown now and then in his dispatches He pulled off notable beats during his Fleet street da)s, particularly his unmasking of Doctor Cook, the North Pole faker, and his discovery of the Bouibon marriage de scribed so vividly In "The Street of Ad ventuie." He "covered" the Balkan War for the London Dally Chronicle, which was Ills first experience as a war correspondent.
