ANTI-ENGLAND
Another Reader Protests Against
Friendly Feelings Toward Great Britain

To the Editor of The Tribune. y
Sir: In yesterdays issue Of your
PAPER | was delighted to read an article
by +. VI. Bagg. wish most heartily
to indorse everything he says in refer
ence 20 England being "the only one Of
the nations now at war with each orher
which has been an enemy to our coun-
try"
As an American feel that our
Wholesale Endorsement of England is
more than queer. She has always stood
IN the way of our development when
ever possible. Even when we we're
colonies we could not build our own
ships, send our supplies otherwhere
than to England or in anything but
English ships, and since then we have
failed 10 build up our own merchant
marine. Now, when we need just that,
England does all in her power 20 pre-
vent II. She still wishes to rule the
seas, although she does not own them,
but con 5lderS 1t an outrage for another
country to have sufficient armament to
protect its own. Here in America the
Lnglsh are quite as much aliens as
any other race. They do not become
Eaturalized and take upon themselves
the duties of citizens, but they come
here because they cannot make a living

GERMANS HAVE RAW DEAL"
A Reader Considers That They Are
Not Fairly Treated in American Press.

To the Editor Of The Tribune.
Sir: ! have been a reader Of your
paper for a long time and still read It..
Il seems 20 me that not only The
Tribune but the whole American press
Is giving the Germans what might be
termed a "raw deal"
Surely German reports should be
given as much credeuce and just as
much prominence IN the news as those
Of the Allies.
il is q noteworthy fact that stories
told by people returning from Europe
all bear out the fact that the Germans
are not committing the alleged atrocl-
ties.
Let u take some specific instances.
The Allies claim that Louvain was
RACED by the Germans IN spirit Of
wanton brutality. The Germans claim
that the entire populace, at a given sig
nal. commenced sniplng their soldiers
from housetops and windows. II this
is true and we do not know that IL Is
not the Germans were certainly justI-
tied ia taking most severe measures Of
reprisal.
The Allies are crying very loudly
over the destruction of the cathedral
at Rheims. Ii what they say Is SO, the
Germans are very much TO be con-
demEed. On the other hand, the Ger
mans claim that the French artillery
was firing from that direction and that
squad OF men was posted ON the
highest point OF the cathedral giving
the French artillery the range. The

WARS EFFECT ON The RACE
II Produces the Survival and Propa-
CATION Of the Unfit.
d the Editor 81 Ia Tribune.

To the Editor Of The Tribune.
Sir: Modern warfare is not merely
crime, as Is all murder, but is the
objectionable crime OF a sin against
the race Women, who are at once the
creators and conservers Of the race,
must learn to realize this crime in all
its horror and 70 band together to
end it,
In ancient warfare, in the days be-
fore gunpowder was invented, IL was
the biggest, the braVest, the strongest
men who survived and were hailed a.
heroes. The weddings died; SO the
race Of the conquerors was benefited.
The women OF the conquered became
concubucs Of the couquerors and their
children increased the numbers Of the
couquerors The hero's sexual excess
Is were forgiven because they, too,
helped the race, and the bar sinister
was pardoned If the father were a hero
IL even became matter Of pride.
But modern warfare destroys alike
the race Of the cOnqucrOr and the con-
quered. h is the weaklings who stay at
home and propagate. The flower OF the
race, its vigorous young manhood, is
led to the shambles, while many of the
soldiers who return are tainted with
the blood diseases they have contract
ed from the camp followers. When the
passion OF murder runs riot, why
should any other passion be restained7
Thus modern warfare is crime
equally against the race Of the con-
queror and the conquered.
No one can study biology without
realizing that every effort Of both plant
and animal life is directed toward the
protection and perfection Of the spe-
cles; hence anything that interferes
with the upward progress Of its kind
is detested That is why modern war
fare is so abhorrent, because it mean,
the retardation Of the progress Of the
world and the weakening Of the race
on both sides Of the combat. II is pure
destruction there is no attendant hen
cit TO either side. How long will the
people Of the world be blind enough
not 70 penetrate the thin disguise of
the glory Of war, and see its disgust
ing brutality, its sickening slaughter.
its wanton devastation, its Grass stu
pidity?
In ancient warfare it was the cour-
sgeous who planned and led the fight.
and to them belonged the spoils. To.
day no monarch leads the fight. nor
Gar nor Kaiser Is echoing the words

The Football Season.

In the football season which is just beginning
the new open game is no longer on trial 1t has
been made practicable and has incidentally car
ried football TO an unprecedented height of popu-
larity. The devisers OF the game sought 10
get away from the slow crushing and to the spec
tator rather uninterestng, push and pull style
which had come into vogue with the mass forma-
lions. They broke up the sluggish and dangerous
mass attacks but in their anxiety 10 encourage
open playing they went to the other extreme and
reduced the power Of the running offence that
little consistent progress could be made and each
side had to kick continually and trust TO n tumble
to get within striking distance Of the goal line
Experience with the open game soon led to
changes in the rules which lessened the too great
advantage given 10 the defence and struck an ad-
mirable balance between the attacking and the de
Tending forces. Football is now varied and c1-
harating sport FOR the spectator full Of surprises
and dramatic action and offering the freest scope
both for concerted strategy and individual brill
lance
This ought to be the games most successful
season The biggest football arena ever construct.

THE PEOPLES COLUMN

German commander would have been
more than human had he not replied
90 the fire which was destroying his
men. II the French did this, they have
only themselves TO blame.
The tendency seems to be 10 belittle
the German successes and 20 enlarge
ON those Of the Allies.
All during that wonderful march al
most 20 Paris, the greatest ever made
iu The worlds history, the Allies would
invariably retire to we'll intrenched
defensive holdings after inflicting
enormous losses" The next day, how
ever, the Germans would be twenty
miles nearer Paris.
Again, wherein does this German
militarism, which is talked OF so much,
differ from that OF other nations? For
q parallel case, take Great Britain. She
keeps a navy which is twice as large as
that Of any other nation, for a good,
sound reason which is being appreci-
ated right now. A powerful navy is
necessary 10 protect England from in
vasion; why not, then, powerful army
TO protect Germany from invasion?
J should ike TO see and hear little

SUPPORT FOR Mr.. WHITMAN
His Independence Of Mr.. Barnes Is
Asserted and His Record Praised.

Tc the Editor Of The Tribune.
Sir: II Is something of a puzzle 10
one who has taken and read The Irib-
unc daily for Nfty-fvc years TO quite
understand your attitude toward Mr.
Whitman and his candidacy for Gov
crnor j. must be plain, from the re-
suit Of the Republican primary, that
Mr.. Whitman Is by far the most avail
able and popular candidate that the
party could have nominated, and de-
servedly so, both from the enthusiastic
concentrations which he has received
from The Tribune during his official
services as District Attorney, and. too,
flcm all close observers Of his career
ana splendid record. To question ms
political or personal honesty at this
late dsv and to try 20 dlsparage him
iu the minds Of electors seem to your
readers not only an ungracious course
TO take. but one entirely Inconsistent
with his record and his character.
Your reference, IN your brief cdi-
torlal this morning, 10 the selection OF
Nr. Tanner as chairman has IN II
fling that 10 unjustited by the tscts.
Indeed. your unqualified Endorsement
of Mr.. Tanner in the concluding clause
Of that editorial emphasizes your in
consistency in the position you take IN
the body Of the article.
Mr. Whitman is as clean and thor
oughly an upright public servant as
ever entered public life. He does not
.ndorse Mr. Barnes, nor anything In
politics that Mr.. Barnes may have done
that is deserving Of condemnation.
If Nr. Barnes supports Mr.. Whit
mans candidacy you may be certain
that it is not from any solicitation or
subserviency on the latter's part. He
is not Of that sort He would like TO
be Governor that he may be able 60
secure the dishonest contractors and
politicians who nave conspired to rob
the state and place them where they
belong The Tribune, n wise, in the
Judgment Of one of its most loyal
readers, should support MIN with all
the power of it's influence and put be
hind 10 the fact that before the
primary IT. supported another caudi-
date who has been badly beaten by our
accepted candidate. ..
