the ground and swamps and rivers can be crossed
without difficulty. Large parts Of Poland are
nearly impossible in the spring and fall, but in
winter sleghs and sledges can go anywhere. So
far as transportation facilities are concerned the
Russian armies ON the Silesan border will be
better off after the snow comes than they are
now. with only muddy post roads and few lines
of railroad to depend upon.
1t is a fcregone conclusion that the war Will
go on in France or Belgium, winter or no winter
In the Franco German War Of 1S10-71 opera
tons in France were not suspended. Besides,
the enormous cost of the present war and the
vast stakes involved in it make 1t necessary to
fight on uninterruptedly. If it was Germanys
hone 20 get respite on the east front while CON
tinuinr the struggle in the west, that hope has
been utterly dashed by the retreat from war

keen the German-Austro-H Hungarian armies IN
N, east fully occupied. II rests with the Car
n saw what course the eastern campaign shall
take after winter sets in and changes to some
extent the conditions Of fighting.

many French friends enabled me 10

IL was then though, shat the War
would probably not last more than
three or four months, and the money
7 lad collected was sufficient 70 carry
on the work for that length Of time.
Now there seems little prospect OF
peace before spring, and at best the
RESUMPTION Of business must be slow.
The number OF women out 81 employ

sent as gifts from the workroom; but
orders are also taken for the same
kind OF work, and the small profit thus
realized is added to the funds Of the

The cost Of paying and feeding one

Contented, Militaristic Germany

To the Editor Of The Tribune.
Sir: In Sundays issue you printed a
letter from a Mr.. b. Shadwell. entitled
ITO Free German Scrfs." and | read
same with disgust and compassion at
this Mr.. Shadwell's lack OF knowledge
OF conditions about which he airs his
opinions. He no doubt does not know
that England as well as France and
Russia each spends more money per
capita every year on "militarism" than
Germany. Also it is evident that he is
not aware of the fact that municipal
governments throughout the world are
being patterned after those of German
cities. Did Mr.. Shadwell ever hear Of a
"New Haven scandal" in the Prussiau-
owned railroads, or of a "Tammany
graft" in the German government? Ii

MIR. SHAW, HUMORIST
How His Solution Of the Belgian
Deadlock Might Be Worked Out.

To the Editor o. The Tribune.
Sir. As an admirer OF Mr. George
Bernard Shaw's iuimitsble humor. |
read with much interest his letter 20
President Wilson. published ia Satur-
days Tribune. This particular epIstle
is evidently intended 10 be serious, but
t would almost seem as though Mr..
Shaw were unconsciously more than
ever humorous in suggesting that the
opposing armies in Belgium should
withdraw from their present field OF
battle.
Are they not apparently struggling
with might and main on the one side to
advance into Germany, on the other to
plunge again into France? And if they
concede the point Of view that they
have no right 10 remain in Belgium,
will they draw lots as to where will
be the scene of future conflicts, or will
one or he other be willing to step
back and say After you. mon cher
Alphonse," on After H0H. mein lieber

The Citys Dirty Streets Condemned
Again.

The protest against the unclean condition OF
the citvs streets made by the Academy Of Medl-
cine to city officials is amply justified. The
streets are dirty. They are refuse-laden. They
are undoubtedly menace to health as the
academy declares This state Of affairs IS at
trbutable to some extent to street repairs, build
nq operations and subway construction. let all
these will not account for the general appearance
of unkemptness and shiftlessness which the
streets present The plain fact IS that the street
cleaning system does not clean the streets
1t is absurdly shortsighted to retain open ASH
and garbage cans and collection wagons. They
distribute dirt and disease 1t is equally absurd
TO sweep surface dirt and refuse into little heaps
TO await the collection wagons. The active winds
Of autumn distribute much Of the sweeplngs be-
fore collection. 1t is absurd that streets should
not be washed down 20 a much larger extent than
they are before they are swept and that much
more sweeping should not be done by machinery.
The most absurd thing Of all is for the city to
struggle along with an imperfect, haphazard
system known by its officials TO be imperfect and
condemned by them A step in the right direc-
ton was made when a model district was fitted
out as an experiment station; but that will not
keep the rest of the city clean. Dirty streets
are disgrace and danger to any city, and no
money is saved by failure to buy proper
mechanical equipment to keep them clean
