MISS BRADFORD TALKS SOCIOLOGY
Tells the bier Club Some of kts
Principles.

The Rambler Club met yesterday after
noon in Hasbrouck Institute after a vaca-
ton of one month to hear about Prob
lens of Today Before the discussion
Miss Myers, the President. and Miss Eliz-
abeth Van Horne were appointed dele
gates to the meeting of the State FEEDER
alton of Woman's Clubs at Plaintield.
with Miss Harriet Hartnett and Miss
Irene Phillips as alternates. Invitations
from out OF town clubs were read and
accepted, and the Ramblers instructed
the secretary to send notes of eongratu-
land and Mrs. Forrest Heath. two mem
bers of the club who were married last
week.
Miss Cornelia Bradford. head worker
of Whittier House, addressed the Ram
blers on Sociology She said she wished
it understood at the beginning hat there
is a difference between sociology and So
cialism. and again between socialism. an
archism. n~ationalism and i~ndlviduaiism.
She said Bellamy's latest book gives an
excellent idea ef the principles of the ma
tionalists. Sociology has as one OF us
fundamental principles the i~nterdepend-
ence of the classes. 1t believes that the
rich classes are exactly as dependent on
the poor as the poor are on the rich. The
social settlements, while it by no means
follows tha all the workers believe in
socialism, were the outcome OF the study
Of sociology. Students of that problem
found that they must get nearer to the
moor to understand their position. They
decided to go among them and live their
lives. and as a result came the social set
Element. Miss Bradford told of some of
the work in Whittier House as illustra-
tive of social problems. She emphasized
the point that both classes are helped by
associarion-the rich or educated who
help the less fortunate derive as much
benefit as hey who are helped. In clos
ing Mrs. Bradford gave a cordial invita-
ton to the Rambless to visit Whittier
House. The club ave her a vote OF
thanks for har ak and asked her a num-
Der of questions about Whittier House.
Miss Bradford said il she were asked il
she is a socialist she would say that she
believes every one should nave as much
chance to better his or her condition as
he desires. She believes in education for

A few days ago, THE News expressed
the opinion that the war would be the
cause of very little mortality among the
American forces. We based the opinion
upon the lack of skill of the Spanish
officers and men.
Today's news entirely bears out the
opinions which we expressed In dis-
cipllne and skill, our sailormen showed
up in magnificent style in yesterday
battle. while the Spaniards showed them
selves to be incapable to a degree which
ever we had not imagined.
Two of the three ships which attacked
the Matanzas batteries, yesterday, nave
q large freeboard and must have present
ed excellent targets to the enemy's gun
ners. Even the Puritan has a good deal
of top hamper. and skillful marksmen
would have no difficulty in hitting her
The fact, however. is that not n shos
from the Spanish guns struck a single
one of our ships.
On he other hand, our fire must have
been of the most accurate and deadly de-
scription. The exact number OF shots
fred from all the ships was counted by
the observers on the despatch boat of the
New York Herald" It was eighty-six-
That this number of shots, which included
range finders, should have sileneed the
Spanish batteries is conclusive proof OF
the accuracy of the aim. That every shell
must have gone home is absolutely GER

1t is not unlikely that if the United
States forces win a few more victories,
like that at Matanzas, the European
Powers will bring strong pressure to bear
upon Spain to stop the war at any cost.
The European nations have considerable
interest in checking Spanish ruin before
It goes too far. Her bonds are held all
over the Continent, chiefly in France and
Austria. and every shot that is fred i'm
pairs the value of these.
Therefore, when it becomes a matter
of demonstration that the Spanish army
and navy are unable to cope with ours,
the interested parties may insist on the
abandonment of the useless struggle.
1t Is likely that about tomorrow Adj
miral Dewey's feet will capture the Span
fsh squadron off the Philippine Islands
and perhaps capture Manila. It is not
unlikely that Admiral Sampson may si-
tence a few batteries every day on the
Cuban coast. If any Spanish ships at
tempt a raid on our coast, they are likely
to be nemmed in between the shore bat
teries and Commodore schley's squadron,
and then Heaven help them.
# these things happen, the war will
be practically over. All Spain can do is
conduct a sort of piratical campaign on
the seas until we blockade and bombard
her home ports. She will then be at
the end Of her capacity for serious war.
Will the other nations Of Europe then
permit her to waste her resources in
keeping up the hopeless struggle?
