More German Success at Sea.

The German navy has struck another blow. the
heaviest yet, at the British feet. The sea fight
off the coast of Chill, In hurricane weather, IS
the most stirring episode Of the war at sea and
far and away its most important engagement.
The confidence which the victory will arouse in
the Kaiser's crews as well as the alarm which
all England must now feel may have farreaching
effects.
The strategy which assembled the German fleet
in considerably superior force was the greatest
accomplishment Of all, in many respects. Rear
Admiral Cradock'S fleet Of three cruisers rounded
the Horn with the purpose Of hunting down and
destroying the several German cruisers which
had been operating at various spots in the South
ern Pacific. Probably union with the British
japanese fleet, reported heading southwark, was
contemplated Admiral Graf Won Spec not ony
gathered his fleet together by wireless, but sue
ceeded In intercepting the enemy before its
strength could be augmented
1t is easy to understand the basis of the Ger
man victory by comparison of the large guns
on each side The German ships had sixteen 81
guns as against two % guns on the Good Hope.
Gunire opened at range Of six miles, and until
the British ships closed in 10 a distance Of four
miles the Germans possessed terrific advantage
in weight OF metal. The honors are with the
German gunnerS none the less. for accurate aim
in face Of the heavy weather necessary TO
make their advantage effective, and their achieve
ment sinking the Monmouth out Of hand and
sending the Good Hope off in desperate straits

The Slowness of Particularly Be-
lated Parade.

To the Editor Of The Tribune.
Sir: Relative to the parades of last
Wednesday and Saturday, wish to
offer a word of protest against the
unusually long time that spectators
who thronged the lower portion of
the route were kept waiting. OF course,
we all concede that parade would
not be a parade if it wasn't reason
ably behind time, and merely to
demonstrate against this customary de-
lay would be futile, to say the least.
But since | happen % know that the
cause OF the greater part of the hour
and a half that the public were kept
waiting was entirely unnecessary,
do not hesitate to send you these few
words of protest.
As soon as the head divisions OF the
parade turned into seth st. they found
il necessary TO break ranks. and when
Fifth av. was reached the old forma-
tons had TO be renade, thus causing
more delay. All loss of time could
have been avoided II the company OPP

Governor Glynn Must Act on the Sing
Sing Scandal.

Governor Glynn still has two months to serve
He has no possible political obligations TO any
person or organization now that the campaign Is
over lie has on his hands prison scandal which
originated under his administration and because Of
its gross outrageousness helped materially TO de-
feat him. For his own good name the Governor
ought now to dig under the political whtewash
and get down TO real investigation Of this mess.
Mccormick the polidcianwa rden primarily re-
sponsibe for laxity at Sing Sing has been dis
missed. That is not enough If Mccormick was
guilty Riley, the Superintendent Of Prisons, who
concurred in McCormick's actions, equally
guilty, and should 90, too. 1t will not take much
examination Of the case by the Governor to dis
close that The depositors Of the Union Bank,
who have to believe that they have suffered
grlevous wrong through this Sing Sing scandal,
which gave opportunity for converting securities
belonging TO the wrecked bank, have petitioned
him for further action. The Governor cannot do
less than probe this sore to the bottom.

WILLIAM II, THE CONQUEROR?
An Anecdo.e with a Moral for the
Present.

To the Editor OF The Tribune.
Dating from young days spent in
Europe, hape a recollection of story
that was current at the time Of visit
Of the present Kaiser of Germany with
his mother, the Crown Princess OF
England, to the erratic boys grand
mother, Queen Victoria.
Admitted to the studies Of his young
English cousins, the subject happened
TO be William ! and the Norman Con-
quest. He is reported at the time 10
have said, presumably IN boyish fun,
81 shall be William the Second OF the
German Conquest"
Can any of your readers recall this
story and could alienists or psycholo-
gists determine whether such an in
cipient germ could Turk in a mattoid
brain 70 break out years later in an
attempt at realization, through the in
sane family war Of rulers now raging
in Europe?
1t surely opens up vastly interest
ing field Of thought on degeneracy in
royal strains and family hatred.

THE WEST VIRGINIA DROUTH
Prohibition Has Helped, Not Hindered,
Business.

To the Editor of The Tribune.
Sir: Your peoples Column" In
Saturdays paper contained a letter
from one Mr.. Ross, of Newark, y. j..
who is either ignorant of what he
writes, has been misinformed or will
fully misrepresents conditions in our
state. There is not one mill in all
our state which has closed on account
of our present drouth, except some
mills" over in the section referred
to which furnished most OF the
booze for the surrounding country.
Neither have any Il our business
men" had a Crouch on" except GER
tain business men" who once sold
booze" across the counter, and who
are at present forced 20 earn a more
honest living at a more honorable
employment, but, of course, with re-
duced income.
No legitimate business has been
hurt by our prohibitory law, but quite
on the contrary, business is better
everywhere, as far IS the absence OF
booze" affects business, and the abb
sence surely does affect it, We have
a working class that now has bank
accounts, pays for its meat and gro
ceries, wears better clothes, goes TO
church more and generally lives on
higher plane than it did in our
former condition as a wet" state, and
we have all this just because certain
mills" do not now operate and GER
tain other business men" do not now
get the peoples money across the bar.
There is no danger to be antici-
pated from the moonshining business.
II exists largely in the brain OF the
writer of the letter end nowhere else.
To refer TO our state as a state Of
boots, belts and pistols" is to msrepre-
sent it. We do no. wear boots; our
belts are worn exclusively to hold
up the trousers, an1 with no holsters
attached. and our pistol-toting law
effectually prohibits or lands offenders
in the penitentiary.
Prohibition has killed no town in our
state, but it has given life to many
by removing temptation from their
people, so that they now prosper where
they once suffered.

THE COURAGE OF NEUTRALITY
Italy 1. Urged to Maintain Her Pres.

TC the Editor of The Tribune.
Sir: The policy Of neutrality IS not

THE WHEEL IN NATURE
Mr.. Chesterton's Praise of Man as Its
Inventor Is Challenged.

To the Editor Of The Tribune.
Sir: VIII you allow me to correct
scientific error in sentence IN the
article on Barbarism, by G. X. Ches-
terton, in your issue of this date? IL
may not seem of very great importance
at first sight, and yet q fact IS OF
prime Importance, per Sc.
The error is in the following SEN
tence: "The promise, like the wheel, IS
unknown in nature, and is the first mark
of man." How extended this erroneous
notion may be do not know, but the
wheel in much higher mechanical eX-
cellence than at present known TO hu-
man skill is found in nature.
If Mr.. Chesterton or any Of your
staff will come TO my Office | will be
glad TO show under the microscope
wheels of the highest mechanical ex-
cellence, cogged both inside and outside
the rim.
They require a high power of magni.
tude to be seen, but no human skill
could excel, or possibly even equal,
their perfection. There Is small
worm to be found on careful search
in the sands on the Seashore belong
ing 10 the radiate form Of the animal
kingdom called the chlrodita. This
little worm is about An inch long, the
thickness Of match, pink in color, and
covered with dark spots, not too plain
~ seen by the naked eye. These spots,
when properly observed, reveal them
selves under The microscope as con-
sistiug Of hundreds of the most eX-
quisitely constructed wheels that the
human eye can ever look upon.
rope Mr. Chesterton may no longer
hand down, at least, this error he evil
IDENTIFY entertains as creed through
any later literature. II he wishes II
shattered as "a creed can furnish him
with indisputable proof of its error.

The South and England.

To the Editor Of The Tribune.
Sir: General Hughes. of the Cana
dian militia, reports that $1,000 citi-
zens Of the United States wish to enlist
in the Canadian army which is to be
sent TO Europe 10 fight the Germans.
and that most OF them are Southerners.
Well, Why shouldn't the South help
England? Did not England help the
South during the Civil War, and did
not hundreds of thousands of Germans
fight in the Union armies and help
overthrow the Confederacy? You cannot
blame the Southerners for wishing to
repay the English for their help and
at the same time take revenge on the
Germans for the great aid they gave
TO the Union cause.
