Captaiu Ryan of .t'.ie United
States army U under citation
»or contempt of court, according
to report from Loganport, Ind. j
The circumstances ara said to be
• hat Judge Lairy of that jurisdic
tion gave a convicted robber his
choice of going to prison or enlist
ing in the army and that Captain
Ryan promptly and emphatically
expressed a derogatory opinion of
the judge and his Judgment.
This sort of thing has not been
uncommon. Like the ejection of
tulisted men wearing United States
uniforms from theaters, dance
UatU or other places of amusf
lueut—instances of which are not
entirely unknown—the representa
tion of the country's army or navy
as a close approximation to a pen
:t»Miiary* as an acceptab'e substitute
lor penal servitude has tiken place
far too often, and been allowed to
pass with far too little incon
venience to the offenders.
It is gratifying to note that
these blunders no kuger occur so
:requently as they did * few years
ago. Their correction has been
undertaken by offi-Wrs of both
services, men as prau 1 o* the na
tion's uniform as Captain Ryan,
and as outspoken in Us defense, as
..'ell as by secretaries of the wai
and navy departments. The news
papers, too, have plu>el some part
In causing it to become rather gen
erally understood that affronts to
the nation's soldiers or sailors sub
ject th« oerson responsible to dis
tinct unpopularity, if not to some
more immediately perceptible pen
alty.
Soldiers are not looked down
upon in any country in Europe
just now. For Americans, who
tnay „ have equal ne«d and equal
i ear-born respect for scldlers any
day, to permit th« soldier's call
'.ig to be maligned and despised in
the meantime would be very poor
i-olicy indeed.
SPAIN HARI> HIT
Of all the countries in Europe
which are still neutral Spain
might be supposed to stand far
thest from the perils and suffer
ing of war, says the Cleveland
reader. It is not a country like
Norway, that lives largely by its
shipping and is gravely menaced
by any conditions interfering with
the unlimited use of the trade
routes and ports of the world It
is not, like Italy, so near the 'bat
tle fields and so deeply interested
in the change which the war may
n.ake in national boundaries that
it has been necessar. to keep a
.treat army In readiness for ac
tion. No mines are drifting ashore
tn the coast of Spam. No battles
are being fought -within hundreds
of miles of Its nearest frontier.
Tet Spain is in dire distress be
cause of the war. There are bread
riots In Spanish towns. There is
fear of risings born of the blind
misery of the people, which may
spread into revolution. The gov
ernment tries to give ieUaf but it
lacks the resources demanded by
the general depression of trade
and industry.
Spain suffers because the coun
try lives largely on exports -which
ire quickly curtailed a war that
tuts down the purchasing power of
the nations which havj been the
best customers for 'he luxuries
Spain has to sell. Wine and olive
oil have gone to France In im
mense quantities. There is little
demand for either now. England
has been a great consumer of Span
ish oranges, raisins, grapes, olives,
olive oil and almonds. The war
has much diminished the demand
for all of these products. The
commodities which Europe still
bids for eagerly—wheat, corn,
oats, meats, arms, munitions of
war of many kinds—Spain canno
supply. The Spaniards have fe\
horses and no lumber to sell. The
cannot export barbed wire o
motor trucks.
In many ways the United State
is the most fortunate of the neu
tral nations. It has suffered
good deal of business disturbauc
and some serious losses, as in th
cotton market, but it has man
more offsets to war conditions tha
any other neutral power can hop
to discover and profit by.
Export of War Muni
tions Should Not Be
Prohibited
By VILLIA.M H. TAFT. Former
President
WE would be fools of the moi
exasperating type if we di
not permit the export c
munitions of war from the Unite
States to any nation that will buy.
We would be fools l'or two rej
sons—first, because we dare not s<
a precedent which might work dii
tinetly to our disadvantage shoul
that very unlikely event for u*
war—ever come to be a reality.
SECOND—AND THIS REASON
HAVE NOT STATED PUBLICLY BE
FORE—BECAUSE THERE IS
LARGE AMOUNT OF CAPITAL IN
VESTED LEGITIMATELY IN TH
MANUFACTURE OF WAR ENGINE
AND MATERIALS IN OUR COUN
TRY AND THIS WOULD BE DISLC
CATED AND PROBABLY INJURE
BEYOND COMPLETE RECOVER
SHOULD WE TAKE ANY SUCH AC
TtON.
Americans Ignorant of
Japanese Ideals and
Conditions
By Dr. TOYOKICHi IYENAGA,
Japanese Statesman
IT is well for the American peopl
to know and know oncfe for a
that Japan does not want th
Philippines, and if yon offered thei
to her she would not take then
WE CAN SEE Xt> REASON" WH1
THE UNITED STATES SHOUL1
SHIFT THAT BURDEN TO TH1
SHOULDERS OF JAPAN.
If I were to address a Japanes
audience on America I would pre
ceed somewhat in the folio win
fashion:
'"In dealing wi ll the America
people study with care their tern
peraraent and idiosyncrasies, lear
with devotion their ways and mode
of thought, appreciate their grea
and good parts, and they will no
fail to reciprocate. Be frank, ope
hearted and speak out jour hear
without reserve and mincing words
If any act of injustice be done b
them unto you be patient, but finr
in your stand.
"MOST OF ALL. DO YOUR BES'
TO MAKE KNOWN TO THEM JA

AMERICANS ARE QUITE IGNO
