NEW GRADES FOR ARMY AND
NAVY.
Besides the bill to restore to the
navy the rank of vice admiral, which
has the support of all officers of the
navy and the cordial approval of the
people as well, congress will be asked
to consider a bill to restore the rank
of lieutenant general in the army.
This new army measure provides for
no increased pay for general officers.
Its chief purpose is to eliminate the
anomalous grade of brigadier gener
al, which exists in few foreign arm
ies. In nearly all other countries
brigades are commanded by major
generals, divisions by lieutenant gen
erals, and higher commands by offi
cers of higher grades, such as gen
erals and field marshals. Our army,
however, is reaching out for no high
er grade than lieutenant general. It
is, felt that this grade is needed so
that our commanders may be on ev
en terms with foreign officers per
forming similar service.
There is, for that matter, no grade
equivalent, to that of brigadier gen
eral in our own navy or marine corps.
Our foremost brigadiers, like Fun
ston, Bliss, or Pershing, when they
happen to be on duty with a recent
ly appointed general officer of ma
rines or admiral in the navy, are
necessarily regarded as junior offi
cers in relative rank. Probably, how
ever, the need of permanent lieuten
ant generalships in the army would
never have been urged if our offi
cers were not so frequently* thrown
in contact these days with foreign
service.
The number of general officers is
not increased in the proposed bill,
but the grade of brigadier general is
abolished, except in the case of the
two assistants in the quartermaster
general’s department, the head of
which will retain the rank of major
general. If the bill becomes a law
there will be six lieutenant generals
in the army with the present pay of
brigadier generals. There is no good
reason why the bill should be op
posed. The army’s request for lieu
tenant generals and the navy’s for
vice pdmir&ls both seem to be well
justified;—New York Times.

THE NEW PATRIOTISM.
(By DR. FRANK CRANE.)
The old patriotism shot off fire
crackers, symbollic of battle; had
riillltary parades, fired the big guns
at the arsenal and toy pistols in the
street. 5
The glory of the country was
somehow supposed to be tied up
with war. S' ' .. ,
' Orators spoke of the colonials who
licked England and of the war of
the 60s when Americans butchered
each other wholesale.
The old patriotism wanted to
whip Spain, and wants to move on to
Mexico, and is spoiling for the con
quest of Japan, or of any' other na
tion that crooks, a finger at us.
The new patriotism sees that the
nation is more in danger of rotting
within than of invasion from without.
It is more agitated over the army
of the unemployed that besieges the
cities in winter than it is over the
forces of Carranza or the fleets of
Europe.
It is awake to the danger of the
beast whose name is privilege, whose
taste is for the life blood of democ
racy.
It is studying to limit vast weattn,
aggregated capital in the hands of
irresponsible individuals, corporate
greed that corrupts legislatures, de
bauches slates, prostitutes govern
ment, while it destroys little children
in its factories and men in its mines.
The new patriotism dreams of a
city beautiful, tree-lined streets,
playgrounds for the children, some
measure of the joy of living in the
industrial grind.
It attacks the unsanitary tenement
house, the sweatshop, poisoned food,
typhoid waterworks, polluted streams.
The day of the man on horseback
is past; the day of the hero of so
cial service is dawming.
The new patriotism is shy of phil
anthropy. It does not seek gifts
from swollen fortunes to alleviate
poverty. It endeavors to organize the
people so that all may get their just
dues, so that all W'orking together in
democratic institutions may build
their own colleges), libraries, hos
pitals and the like.
It conceives a new ideal of the
state, as a social organism protecting
the weak, restraining the strong.
The new patriotism does not ad
vertise for men willing to die for
their country, but for men and wTo
men willing to live for their country,

to work, think and act for their
country.
The new patriotism covets no oth
er country’s land. It sends ships
and soldiers to Mexico not to kill
but to help.
It Is sane, intelligent, shrewd, sin

Are for justice, not war.
Under the inspiration of the new
patriotism, a great army is rising,
an army of men and women who love
their country for its humanities, not
for its brute .power nor crass suc
