Eugenetta and Mr.. II. G.. Wells.

1t is always a pleasure to do anything for Mr..
Ii. G. Wells the most interesting Engllshman OF
our acquaintance. So when he puts "Will American
papers please copy?" in letter to THE London
Daily Mali we hasten to comply with his request.
The trouble is all over Eugenetta, the lovely
daughter of the most eugenc marriage thus far
recorded. Her parents, Mr.. and Mrs. Bolce. have
stirred all England with their enthusiasm for the
child. The whole proceeding -Eugenetta is now six
months old-has been conducted on strictly eugenic
principles, seriously, in faith and reverence and
with scientific care"
Part Of the scientific care included an anticipa-
ton of Eugenetta, to speak, and here is where
Mr.. Wells came in. In order to obtain proper pre-
natal influences the Boces travelled around to-
geher. associatng with such masters in their sew
eral lines as Mr.. Harry Lauder, Mr.. Jerome K
Jerome and Mr. II. c. Wells. At least that is what
the Bolces have made public. Mr.. Weiss version
is somewhat different, can be seen from his ex-
planatory letter:
Mr.. Bolce came to my house a year or SO ago to
take photographs of me for d magazine and secured
among others of himself and myself In CONVEX
sation. He has since become the father Of child
who has been named-I think unfortunately-Eu-
genetta. He declares that his wife was with him
when he visited mel did not know she was his
wife: IMAGINED she was an assistant operator-and

The Weary Titans of the Sea.

Mr.. Danielss suggestion of truce In warship
building is informally made, but is none the less
worthy of note as an indication of the trend OF
thought among naval powers. A little while ago
the British naval secretary made a more specific
proposal, to the same effect, to Germany alone
which somewhat CURLY declined. But that in
cdent does not deter Mr. Daniels from cherishing
the same scheme on still more ambitious scale
II IS in fact, the enlargement of its scope that
gives the proposition chief interest. The British
proposal related to only two rivals while the Amer
lean comprises all the great naval powers. Ger
many might not unreasonably decline to stop ship
building Just because Great Britain did, while Rus
STA and France were pushing on with feverish zeal
But no one power could so easily decline to unite
with all the rest in such cessation
Some such arrangement, indeed, seems necessary
in order TO escape from intoerable conditions. The
naval powers are becoming Weary Titans, but no
one can lay the burden down alone. Perhaps it
would be unreasonable TO expect general stoppage
of construction at an arbitrary date which might
leave gross inequalities of armament among the
powers. But if some amicabe conference could pre-
scribe rule by which each nations naval strength
would be proportional to its population, length OF
coastline extent of outlying possessions etc, and
then all would agree TO construction at that
point we might gain surcease from process which,
if continued, must involve for each competing
nation a lamentable waste of wealth.

TRUTHS ABOUT TAMMANY
Plain Talk for the Man Who Votes
for Murphy.

To the Editor OF The Tribune.
Sir: II the people knew of only a
small part of what they lose by oad
government those who call for Mccall
would soon purr for Purroy, and Mccall
would have about as much chance as a
thistle blossom In a cyclone.
\ Tammany ballot is the same gold
brick passed on the same sucker year
after year by an organization that has
brought the art Of thimblerigging to the
pitch Of perfection.
And yet the Tammany dupe calls the
countryman a jay
The city iay who votes the Tammany
ticket for a picnic every summer ought
to demand fifty. for the burden bad gov
eminent puts upon him and mis- family
is equal to the cost Of nifty.
The poor, despised savage of Ashantee.
who makes a god of the snake that bites
him is not more to be pitied than the
man who votes for Murphy.
Better to be a ring tailed monkey
swinging from the dead limb of with
cred tree than to be man and have a
vote and east 1t for rotten rule.
The mere mention of the name or
Tammany 10 Woodrow Wilson or any
other great and good Democrat brings
into his eyes the same sad look you
see on the face OF a dog when a bad
boy is attaching a tin can to the tail
Of him.
Half your preachers and teachers here
are Democrats. Many OF them speak
for fusion, but none for Tamnany.
The typical Tammany politician is d
man whom Nature intended to be a
burglar, but she forgot to give him the
necessary courage. and so he decided to
prey upon man in a safer way.
IL you do favor the Tammdny ticket
don't let your family know II, for you
demoralize your own children when you
let them know you vote for candidates
whose selection is nearly always die
tated by men grown rich on pull, plumber
and prostitution.
Thousands OF Tammany voters and
thousands OF their children die OF
typhoid. diphtheria. etc. brought on by
rotten plumbing passed by Tammany in
spectors. Tammany may stay in power
only four years. but the unjoined drain
pipes stay four hundred.
We ought to be the happiest people
in the world, for we are the most highly
civilized and we are the most Ingenious
people that ever lived as proved by the
fact that the footprints OF the Ameri-
can inventor are seen on every shore

A DISTRICT QUARREL
A Progressive View Of the Situation
in the 3lst.

To the Editor of The Tribune.
Sir: I'm view OF the discussion in the
newspapers as to the danger of electins
Tammany men to the Assembly and TO
the Board of Aldermen as a result OF the
failure OF Progrcssiyes and Republicans
in various districts 10 fuse, and the yer!
general tendency to ascribe this failure
TO the Progressives | think il only far
that the facts of the situation in the Sist
Assembly District, where an active three
colnered fight is in progress, should be
given wide circulation.
We have as our Assemblyman Michael
Schaap. who is the Progressive leader in
the present Assembly, and who was one
Of the leaders in the fight for direct pri-
maries and other reforms and in the
fight against the summary Impeachment
OF Gov ernor Sulzer. Mr.. Schaap has re-
ceived from citizens Of all parties through
out the state the highest commentator
for his ability courage and integrity. and
the Citizens Union and the Municipal
Government Association strongly urge
his reelection. He has been Endorsed BY
the Independence League. The districts
the banner Progressive district OF the
state, Mr.. Schaap having polled last year
6,392 votes to LIPS for his Republican op.
ponent.
The Progressives made every effort 10
effect a fusion with the Republicans but
they declined on any terms to indorse
Schaap, although the Progressive alder
manic convention was adjourned so as 10
give them the chance. When Mr. Mitchell
and the other candidates on the fusion
city ticket urged that the anti-Tammsny
elements fuse on local candidates for the
sake OF the city ticket, Mr.. Bird and Mr.
koenig agreed, among other things, that
fusion in the Slst was desirable, and
Mr.. Chorosh, our candidate for alderman,
although he had already conducted an ac-
tive campaign. placed his withdrawal in
Mr.. Birds hands. At the last moment
Mr., Koenig announced that he could not
induce the Republican district leader to
withdraw his candidate
think common fairness demands these
facts be given publicity. The Republicans
cannot elect their ticket in our district
and II Tammany men are sent TO the AS
sembly and to the Board OF Aldermen II
is right that the public should know that
the fault lies with the Republican organ

A New Weapon in Naval Warfare.

eight miles by the same waves as are used in wire

BY means of device like Marconi receiver a
spark is employed to explode mass of dynamite
in which it is lodged. Properly to use this inyen-

forming that task can be found the rest would be
easy How to do so is legitimate subject Of study

Mccall Fails to Meet the Essence
of the Hennessy Charges.

II Mr.. Mccall. Tammany's candidate for Mayor
got any especial comfort from his elaborate dehia
of all Mr. Hennessy's charges, it must nave peeh
dampened by the quickness with winch the hentins
Jrishman repeated them in writing in order TO let
them serve as a basis for action in criminal hDei
ooanst himself. It is now for Mr. Mccall to decide
u,betber he cares TO take Hennessy's challenge as
ouickv as Hennessy took his, and force his inqusl-
tor to produce in a legal proceeding the proof oil
cbarces on the stump 1t will do the candidate no
particular good to wait six days. as he did before
making his denial, for by that time the campaign
will have been lost so far as he is concerned.
Mr.. Hennessy has repeated in writing-not the
ae+ statement in precise words, but in substance
that Mccall paid money for his nomination to the
Supreme Court and dares him to tell the people
about it. Mr.. Hennessy charges specifically that the
Tammany candidate served as "Murphys messenger
how 10 Albany" on seven occasions, and that he
also took Governor Sulzer to Murphy's house ana
there discussed patronage matters with the Execu-
tive and the Chief" He charges that Murphy
messenger at his own house tried in vain to help
Murphy force the Governor of New York TO De
untrue to his oath" in respect of appointments to the
state Hospital Commission and the Second District
Public Service Commission.
These are definite and speclhc allegations, WIFI
names and dates Unless Mr.. Mccall disproVes
them they connect him with Tammany's corrupt
machine as by an umblical cord. Denial alone VIII
not suffice even denial accompanied with atidav1ts
such as Mr. Mccall has produced, even had these
been made on a day Of legal rating instead OF on
Sunday. No parroted declarations that he is mo
mans man" will serve. He has admitted that ne
made a contribution" through the treasurer OF
Tammany Hall in the year in which he was elected
to the Supreme Court. But he failed to give the
amount Could this, by any chance, be the money
Mr. Hennessy has in mind? He has presented Sun
day-made afidavits to prove that one interview ne
had with Mr.. Hennessy was short one. But he
has not presented disproof of his interviews with
Sulzer and Murphy, of his actions as interme
diary-messenger boy-for the Chief" who was
irving TO do business with the Executive.
Mr. Mccall stands indicted before the public at
this time for being Murphy puppet, whose politl-
cal activities have been guided by the boss's own
hand and whose career from the moment of his
nomination until the present, has been by, of and
for Tammany. This is the essence of the Hennessy
charges both spoken and written. Mr.. Mccall has
not touched the heart of the matter. If he intends
to do so he must hurry.
