AN IMPOSING SPECTACLE.

To the Editor of The Tribune.
Sir: He who stands in meditation amid
the night, beneath the blue, brilliant fire
of Vega, whilst Cygnus and Corona, the
Jaws of Draco. RaS Alhague, and Affair
glitter and glimmer like a sidereal frame
around her is surveying and studying a
picture, incalculabe and Incompatible.
Above him yaWn inconceivable and un-
fathomable depths; beneath him reyolves
and rotates an insignificant planetary
atom. Standing upon d seemingly mighty
and motionless body, the star sdzer is as
one who inhabits a speck of dust which Is
speeding with frighttul velocity into the
deep and dark abyss of mysterious ether.
Fortunate it is that he cannot suddenly
see and understand the true significance
of the picture above him-the Universe of
God. Amidst the mighty, majestic and
mysterious mechanism of the armament
the star gazer is as d child, stumbling in
the darkness, cropping feebly toward the
threshold of eternal and infinite Truth.

A LACK OF SYSTEM.
Litnr of Tho Tribune.

To the Editor of The Tribune.
Sir: There Is a subject on which am
seeking information, and l hope that some
Tribune reader can enlighten me. Why Is
there at times such an absolute lack OF
system at the Sixth avenue elevated ter
minal at 155th street? Why Is one tolu u

which means quite an extra uphill walk
for Bronx patrons, only to see trains go
out as usual on the east side of the station!
Why, the next day, when there Is no suci'
sign. does an least slider" watch three and
four trains leave from the west side, while
all the trains that come in on his side are
sent to the barns? What is to hinder the
alternating of trains from the two sldes'
or making general the occasional prac-
tice of switching the trains from the side
on which they come in over TO the other
side thus taking up passengers from both
sides? Is there, in short, any excuse Tor
the annoying uncertainty of the present
system? H. X v

THE NEW KINGDOM.

The newest King is one OF the Oldest
s,yereigns of the world. 1t was almost
exactly fifty years ago, on August 10,
old style, or August 26, new style, that
Prince Danilo Of Montenegro fell by the
hand of an assassin and his nephew
Nicholas began to reign IN his stead
For centuries the title of the ruler was
that of yladika, or Prlnce-Blsnop, ana
the Office was half civil and half eccle-
sissticaI. In 1851 ii was changed TO
t1at of Heepodar and was made purely
te,nnoral Now the example which Was
SET bv Rumania in 1881, by Servia III
1880 and by Bulgaria In 1903 Is 1oi-
lowed bv the Black Mountain, and the
title Of prince is exchanged for that OF
king.
The change is fitting in two major re-
srects. Nicholas | is deserving OF such
promotion 4 reign of fifty years Is III
any case notable, but it is the more so
when If has been maintained amid grave
dangers and difficulties and has peeh
marked throughout with an exceptional
degree of beneticence and Of progress
Nicholas has had to contend vigorously
with Turkey and also with the selfish
and coretous instincts Of the great
powers. and he has done so with such
great success that he has actually en-
larged the borders of his realm and
greatly increas sed its prestige He has
also done great work for education,
for industries and commerce, TOT law
and order and for the general advance
ment of civilization. Also he has gwen
Montenegro q free constitution, a repre-
sentative government and universal SUI

to bear the kingly title than this robust
veteran of sixty-nine years of life and
fifty years of sovereignty.
The country is correspondingly worthy
10 become a kingdom. In all southeast

SOCIALIST PEACE IMPRICTICABLE

The expectation is expressed that the
current International Socialist Congress
ct Copenhagen will give a particularly
strong and effective impetus to the cause
of universal peace We have no doubt
that it will endeavor to do so with
earnestness and sincerity. Irenic ideals
have long been warmly favored by So
cjalists But we greatly doubt the prac-
teal efficacy Of any socialist propa-
ganda on the subject, if, indeed, 1t is
not reasonable to expect an effect pre-
Cisely contrary TO that which is de-
signed. For the essential basis of uni
versal peace in the socialist conception
is radically different from that cher
ished by the non-socialist majority OF
the world and is inevitably fitted TO
repel and TO prejudice against the peace
propaganda those who are not lmbued
with socialistic doctrines.
The socialist plea for peace is inspired
by Count Tolstoy's notorious dictum
that love of country is the greatest of
crimes. 1t holds that every man should
regard every other country just as af-
fectionately rs his own and should re-
fuse IN any case 10 hight against 1t just
rs he would 10 fight against his native
land Thus the socialists of France have
tried to persuade French soldiers TO
break their oaths and refuse TO bear
arms against Germany should war be
declared between the two countries. The
idea is TO promote peace by destroying
patriotism That we believe to he gross
iy offensive 10 the average thouShtfnl
and benevolent mind, and To be. more
over, SO erroneous in conception that II
it were possible to make 1t generally
prevail the result would be not SO much
abolition of international wars as provo
cation TO far worse domestic wars
1t is miserable fallacy to suppose
that only Il man without n country can
be true philanthropist or that people
can be amicably disposed toward other
New-York tribune., 1910-08-19

countries only through being regardless
of their own. We believe that precisely
the contrary is generally true. ana tha'
those who are most intelligently loSal 10
their own country are most just anu
therefore peaceful in their attitude tow
ard others. The man who attempted 10
be a philanthropist among his neighbofs
by neglecting his own family would IN
cur deserved contempt and condemna-
flon No better is the man who breaches
peace with other nations through dis
loyalty to his own. The true ideal OF
peace is that of Justice among the na-
tons wrought and maintained by people
loyalty devoted to their own lands; n
peace conioined with and not hostile to
patriotism.
New-York tribune., 1910-08-19
FOOTBALL CHANGES.

The changes III the football rules as
finally announced are substantially what
were expected. They indicate a sincere
desire to make the game Of football as
safe as possible, while preserving its
character as a strenuous sport. OF the
exact effect of many of the technical
changes it will be impossible to form an
opinion until the game has been played
under the new rules. The manifest in
tention is to make the game more open,
iD the belief that thus it will be safer.
But, although the changes have been
considered q long time by experts, only
actual play will show whether or not in
eliminating one form of danger q new
one has been introduced. The forward
pass, for example, which was adopted to
open the game and make it safe, came
to be regarded last season as itself the
cause OF certain accidents.
Some of the changes, however, will
obviously make the play safer. For ex-
ample, the rule which requires a player
N making a tackle to have at least one
foot on the ground will put an end to
flying tackles and will almost GER
tainly reduce the number of accidents.
Under the new rules the thrilling spec
tacle of two hundred pounds of Drawn
1rurtling through the air at the man
with the ball will be seen no more. The
rules which forbid pushing or pulling
the man with the ball and "interlocke led
Interference will tend to prevent the
heaping up of players in scrimmages.
This has been one Of the chief sources
Of injuries in the past
Other changes aim to reduce the acci-
dents which come directly or indirectly
from the exhaustion of the players The
length Of the game is slightly reduced
and it is to be divided into four periods
instead of two. The intermission be-
tween the first and second and the
third and fourth fifteen minutes of play
is to be brief, so that it will not involve
any tiresome wait for the spectators
hut it will be long enough to afford the
players a breathing spell and it will
give conscientious captains an opportu-
nifty TO look over the men under them
and see if they are in proper condition
to continue in the game. Another
change aims to put an end to the press
ure of players who have become some
what exhausted or who have been slight
ly hurt to be allowed to remain in the
lineup. Under the old rules when Il
man was retired FROM the game he
could not return TO it. Under the new
rules. if his retirement has not been q
penalty he may return at the beginning
Cf one of the periods. This will give a
| player chance to rest if he needs rest
and yet to feel that he may resume his
Place. It may result, however. in the
returning to the game of player who
| under the old rules would he out of il
for the day and whose condition is suct
| that he ought to stay out Of 1t.
| It Is to be presumed that the game
under the new rules will remain foot
ball, and that is no parlor game. Sc
| long as men clash upon the gridironed
| field there will be accidents. But the
rules committee is TO be commended
| for the evident sincerity of its desire tc
eliminate unnecessary risks
