Giasty's cable report to this newspaper yeatciday rela tive to on impending inteinal crisis in England. This vVas due not so much to the censor, perhaps, as to tho col re spondent's exacting legard for a situa tion which he recognized as uncertain and pciilous. His dispatch icfeircd to a movement of opinion in England for the incorporation of Ameiicnn military con tingents for ni(fci'('' ncrunl' as parts of British commands By some such means, appnicntlj, Llod Gcoige and his associates vvould hope to relieve the confusipn which has followed upon their recent handling of the man-power issue at lioue and in Ii eland. The British Piemicr is unquestionably facing a situation not of Ins own ci ca tion. He is caught between opposing foicrs fn English va- politics. And it is lcmotely conceivablf that he really might tutn to the United States in this way ,t3 a last leso't, with the hope that we, bj some unpiectdtn'.cd gestuie of self-sacnfico, might help in solving the question of British man-power. Englishmen and Englishwomen in the mnss feel about the war us Americans do. They have fought and endured in a manner too noble and too magnificent for piaisc for a cause which they ton sidoi univeisal and above the inleiests of any one poition of the community. There is an isolated opposing group which still picseives the lemnant of its foimer influence in England It speaks as a lule through thp British Boaid of Trade. Tin., gioup still iepird war as a mattei of tiade mules nnd sp'.ieies of commercial influence. Millions of dead men and cripples and a continent in flames have not served to mitigate its logic. And so, while virtually the whole of England is waning to vnnquish Ger many because Germany is a menace to civilization some of the men who have membership in the British Board of Trade aie out to vanquish Germany because Geimany has been and may lie again a dangeious competitor in foieign commeicc. The British Labor party has waged a fuiious waifnre on this point of view. Lloyd George, himself a Liberal, has felt the necessity of holding all the spiritual and material resouiees of the countiy together. He has done his best to please all inteiests. That has been his gieat eiior, since he has been unable wholly to please any. An isolated group of influential indi viduals in England, whose piestige has been heightened because the Government lequiied and accepted their services, has managed by insistent interference in public discussions to fill the mind of the Butish workers with suspicion and to confuse the nlicady colossal tasks of the Piemiei. A certain section of Butish labor has opposed the new man-power bill because it was looked upon as an effott of the reactionaries to force more women into the English factoiies and to eliminate for all workmen under the age of fifty-one the wage benefits that they enjoy in the war industiies. The Gov ernment was at once placed in a false position which made it appear antago nistic to labor. Lloyd Gcoige is still thicatening labor and. labor is still threatening Lloyd George. And the Allied nations at this critical- phase of the war must support the piesent British cabinet or face tho alternative of a new Government dictated largely by the British Labor paity, which will hold the balance of power at the next elections. The piesent British cabinet is ex pet ionced and conseivativo. A new Pre mier, were he to 'be named or helped by Aithur Hendoi son's labor organization, would lie a Liberal of internationalist tendencies. But the Butish Labor party has agitated consistently fqr a state ment of aims such as Piesident Wilson has always suggested and it has declared for a war to the end along such lines. These aie some of the outstanding factors m the political problem which faces Lloyd George. In all fairness they ought to bo thus stated as a coiollary to Mi. Grasty's dispatch. They explain why such an extraordnuiy suggestion is made, even if it is only as a "feeler" of American public opinion. The British have given immeasuiable aid to this Government in fuithering our plans for war. Without then assistance in slapping in aircraft and aitilleiy, to mention only a few items of the count, the Vn ted States could not have made the remarkable record it has. Theie j no doubt that the mas3 pur poses of the British and the American people in this war are identical. It is only the political expedients which get in the way. America stands ready to hupply all the man power necessary to win a victory on the westein fiont, without stint or quibbling. But it is too much to suggest that we supply deficiencies in the British ranks indefinitely. If Lloyd George dare not raise the necessaiy levies for fear of crippling the industrial war power of the nation as well as, per haps, upsetting his own ministiy, the British lines may be conti acted and re placed by American re-enforcements as they arrive. Americans, following the customs of all nations for centuries, will insist upon fighting under their own flag. Why all ihls railing about humidity? It keeps the tobacco nice and moist. MEN AND WOMEN fTIHE practical men In business and poll- X tics who used to nnd endless diversion In reading florid accounts of the demon strations made by English suffragiBts in variably pointed to Mrs. Kmraaline Pank- I hurst whi when they wanted to Drove that ?Zg'K & poti they said, were too emotional. Didn't Mrs. Pankhurst's methods prove the ancient theory? Mm Pankhurst is In this country now. She Iihs forgotten suffrage for he time being. She has ndvlted nil women to cease agitating in self-interest or for the suffrage principle and to forget utterly their own concerns until the war Is won. It would be Interesting to know how many of the practical men who do not be lieve In suffrage have found themselves capable of a viewpoint as enlightened as hers and as unselfish. Now It Is reported that Hlndenburg has been 111 for a. vear The news from the Marne will make him sicker if thnt be possible. . HEARSTS CANDIDACY fTIHE decision of W. R. Hearst to attempt -- to secure the nomination for the gov ernorship of New York in the Democratic primaries to be held on September 3 Is natural and logical. He has for vears advocated government ownership of lallroads and telegraph lines He has supported woman suffrage and pro hibition The Democratic party has come siotind to his views. Its leaders have In dorsed piohlbltltm and woman suffrage and a Democratic Piesident, acting under nuthoiltv conferied by a Democratic Con gress has taken over the railroads and will take over the telegraph and telephone lines a week from today. Heal st Is the logical candidate for the New York Demociats on these Issues He will carry his peculiar brand of radicalism to the furthest extieme possible and line up his ptitv with tho i nellcal Issues -o that no one can mistake where it stands Yet tliere seems to bo lack of enthusiasm for Heal st among the Democratic Ieadeis now meeting in Saratoga Spilngs to adopt a platform and to Indorse candidates to be voted for at the primnrles PioMblv it is because Hearst has been repeatedlj and mphaticnllv accused of pro Germinlsm and Iukewannness In his support of the Piesi dent But no better thing could happen for the countr.v than to have the New York Democracy put itself on record on the issues which Hearst personifies It is etarifvins to have It definitely stated that candidates must be tested to discover not whether they nrc lojal to the t'nlted States and to Its official head, but whether the are lojal to the political and peisonal foi tunes of Woodrow Wilson We doubt, however, whether Mr. Wilson will he gratified to learn that the issue has been stated so baldly at Saratoga. The Government ownership Issue for which Hearst stands Is one on which the Democracv must express Itself definitely, and the sponer It does so the better. Three members of the President's Cabinet have jlifMdy said thev believe that both the lallroads and the electilc lines should re main permanent Iv in the eontiol of the Government. The rest of the country would like to know- how the New York Democrats stand on this issue. No better wnv of testing its sentiment could be found than for Hearst to be a candidate In the primaries.

Too Near the Marne, July 24, 191E. Whenever a German victory occurs which for reasons of strategy It is Inadvis able to explain too fully to the public, the following course will be pursued: A special article will be supplied by the imperial Mouthpiece for Dissemination of Chit-Chat, Herr Karl Rosner, This article, which will be uniformly cheery and gos sipy. Is to be given prominent place on the front page. The strategy of the latest movements in the Marne sector Is to be explained ac cording to the following formula: "Our victorious troops have compelled the re luctant French to advance across the Marne. This was done by the French en tirelj against their will, and is in pursuit of General Ludendorff's theory that It is well to encourage tho French now and then, or they would quit altogether and the fun would be over." If the public shows any disposition to in quire too closely Into matters that do not concern It, It will be well to diert atten tion by another announcement of Hlnden burg's death and a graphic description of his last hours. General Hlndenburg has given permlsson for this to bo done, nnd the announcements will bo Inserted on the following schedule: Week of July 22 Hlndenburg dies in Berlin. Week of July 20 Hlndenburg very ill In Vienna. Week of August 5 Hlndenburg burled in Hrest-Litovsk. Week of August 12 Hlndenburg con valescent in Bavaria. It mav be convenient for the next few weeks to avoid mention of the Marne alto gether. If this plan Is adopted by the Bureau of Helping Along the Facts duo no tice will be given to all editors. A seiies of designs and fashion plates illustrating the beauty of the new paper clothes are being prepared and will be sn dicated to the press. Similarly, this bureau will continue the distribution of the very popular series of comics entitled "1001 Ways to MakeTur nips Fascinating to the Fastidious." These are to be run on the women's pages of all newspapers and will take the place of war news whenever there is an important vie toi j to be concealed Until further notice, absolutely no men tion is to be made of the following: The Crown lrlnce Chateau Thierry Doctor Muchlnn Mjxlmilian Harden Spanish Influenza Devil Dogs. In mentioning American troops great care must be taken not to exaggerate the numbers of Americans in Trance. It mav be admitted unofficially that General Per shing and his personal staff have arrived, also a quantltv of baseball bats, but It Is well to add that owing to a gross mistake on the part of the American navy most of the American troops have been landed In Africa bv mistake. Dining the continuance of startling suc cess on thp western front it will be well to avoid ovei encouraging the public by turning their attention to more seemly topics, such as the hot wave In America, which has caused the death of millions of prominent citizens; and tho brutality of the Washington Government, which com pels American citizens to continue their tasks as usual, Just as though they weie not terroiized by U-boat raids along their coast.

An Opporlunit) for Philadelphia The question of giving to streets and squares In American cities names inspired by the present war will soon become a timely matter. It would be pleasant If we had the graceful genius for names that la so Instinctive In France. It would be natu ral for a Frenchman to feel himself at home and genuinely stirred In thought on a stately avenue named "Boulevard of the World Made Safe" or "Street of Our Glori ous Allies" or "Street of Undefeated Armies." Even half-savage nations outdo us in a sense of the noble .suggestion of words. Who has forgotten the "Road of Loving Hearts" that the Samoan chiefs built in memory of their loved Tusltala, Robert Louis Stevenson? Perhaps no American city would feel quite comfortable In namlhg a street "The Lllystan Fields" or "The Street of Peace," as Paris has done. And yet, why not? It would be no mean thing if we, too, could accustom ourselves to a little more poetry and imagination In the names of our high ways. Philadelphia, where so many streets aio charmingly named after trees, would be a good city to take such a step. It seems to us that this city has a beau tiful opportunity for such an act of grace. The Parkway will in future jears be one of the noblest thoroughfares of Philadel phia. Now the word "Parkway" is an accurate and terse label, hut It lias no par ticular significance. Why not give it some memorable name that will svmbolizo the deeper meanings of this war, that will le call for all time the loves and passions that have fired men's -souls in an era of many pangs? The Road of Lasting Teace, the Street of Al' Humanity, the Street of the Love of France thtse would be names in the French manner. Perhaps they are too flowery for our brief and busy utterance. If so, why not simply Marne avenue, re membering that river that will always live in our hearts and where our own men first Ulr aW. - aw,. A '.niT..'....'! '"?- f. b ,''' -'-S-A.' .

This was tho wish of Mar, wife of the poet Shelley, on her return from Italy aftei several vcars of companionship with the ladlant genius and Ineradicable cccentilcltv of that inspired ihapsodlst. The rhapiodist had just been drowned while sailing a boat oft Leghorn, wltli a co).v of Sophocles In the 1 and which ought tq have been buj with rope and sail; and Mary, who was not only the wife of a genius, but the daughter of a philosopher and Mar Wollstonecraft, the earliest of suffra gists mi'ltant, had lived a life the vicissitudes of which might well cause her to pine for the society of Hose whose greatest conspicu ousniss lies in their llkenes3, each one to every other CONFORMITY bids a man to "watch his step ' and tread as the man treads before him There is almost as strong a counter Instinct which Is born -at the Impulse to be, at all events, different. There are the two human motives which correspond to the force of giavltatlon that holds rock or cabbage to one place, and to whatsoever power of locomotion may be Inherent In man or beast, the will to go, to crawl, to swim, to fly. to soar. Conformity demands the maintenance of the tjpe; the impulse to be different Insures not only the life of the Individual but the improvement of the race. Conformity demands that a man look like his neighbors, behave like his neigh bors, go to the schools, to the polls, to the grave as his like, proceed in all these mat ters, even that he make his way to heaven by a predetermined route, well-guarded with unmistakable signboard dliections. Con formity makes cowards of us all He Is a bold man some would call him a bad man who will wear a cut of coat not sanctioned by the sartorial consensus of the moment; and it is often as difficult and dangerous to maintain an opinion against the current mode of thinking in conduct, politics or patriotism. TI1D instinct to be different, on the other hand, often lands us In strange places: Simon Stjlltes on the top of a column, Diogenes in a tub, Bunyan in a ptison. even greater and loftier souls at the stake, on tho cross Itself. For the Instinct to be dif ferent may be only a trivial bias "of disposi tion that loves that murmur of praise that accompanies surprise like the shadow its substance. Or it may oe tuo spur oi a divine difference that raises among men the leader, the prophet, the seer, a difference which gave the world a Mahomet, a Shake speate, a Lincoln. THE GOWNSMAN has an Ingenious friend who has allantly maintained that all human progress Is the work of rebels; whether he would agree that the greater the rebel the greater the progress, is a point on which Information Is lacking. However, it H obvious that from things precisely as they are we can hope for no motion forward. Nature attends to It that things which do not move, If they have ever been vital, on ceasing to move begin to rot. On the other hand. It Is' conceivable that there may be a condition of movement so Incessant and so violent that the normal growth Is Impossible. Catacljsm and dry rot may be alike de structive, only dry rot Is more tedious. The Bolshev Ikl have been as successful architects of ruin with their semi-Ideal, wholly Ignorant blundering aB has been the molderlpg rot of a hundred jears of autocratic misrule. A man may die a violent death, or he may linger In misery and fall off ripe In years and corruption.

The Gownsman must confess that his Ingenious filend makes out a strong case, from the novel project of tne Tower of Babel, which was Impel tlnemlv nralnst all precedent, to the rebellious hand -hat drove the money-changers from the temple and expiated an unheard disturbance of things precisely as they are on the cross for the redemption of mankind It should be Im possible for any American to question the divine rlgl t of rebellion, however he eavll at. the brand of divinity which Inspires the actions pf llohenzollerns and their villainous like on earth Moreover, there Is such a thing ns direction oven in a disturbance of the status quo. The Impulse to be different ma lead us out of stagnation, hut It may likewise lead us straight to a very disagree able place which cvtry decent man should shun If for no better reason than that It Is now so certainly overcrowded with Germans. TNI J- Ing THIS matter of conformity to the exist- g present versus that discontent that makes for change and progress we can appeal, as so often successfully, to the an alogy of the laws of nature. Gravitation holds us fast to the place we happen to be in. If that place Is not already the lowest, gravi tation will drop us a step further. After all, our suplnest standpatter Is only obc ing the law which governs the stone; there is something In llng too low- to fall. Con trastedly we see what happens to the shin without ballast, to the man without balance, to the philosopher who Is only heavy at top with overplus of brains, to the "reformer" who is light, not as the beacon is light, but "as the down of thistles which the wind bloweth where It lUteth " We can no more subsist on giavlty alone than on bread alone. But it Is better to be vvheatless than to have no weight to hold us to this lovely planet which wo are so wasting and desecrating; for without the tractive powers that hustle us hither and thither, that leave us rest for neither body nor soul, that keep us moving and, therefore, living, trts earth might be come, even without the help of the Germans, a thing as dead, as hopelessly of the past, as the astronomers report to us the condition of the moon. TO INVOKE the scientists once more, we arc told that the direction of any object acted on by various forces is a mean some where between them Man Is a shuttlecock In this haphazard world of ours, battered and bandied about by strokes upward and downward, forward and backward and we know not even tl o hand that holds the battledore. In the complex resultant lies such progress as we make. The Gleam Philip Glbbs, whose war dispatches seem to many of us the best now appearing In any dally newspapers, wrote a book about the war back In 1015, and In It the sentence: If, as nmo ilui1nt of Uf hold, war will aluau happen because Ufa Itself Is a con tinual warfare, then there Is no hope all the dreams of poets anil the sacrifices of scientists ar uttterly vain and foolish, and pious men Fhmild pray Ood to touch this planet with a star and end the folly of It, , A cynic might say, Isn't He, perhaps, doing just that? Kut the rest of us know that there must be a world after the war, too.
