Help for Stricken Belgium.

OF all the dark scenes IN Europe's tragedy those
in Belgium must come to Americans as most plte-
Gus and most appealing. There was no suggestion
of fault upon her part. German diplomacy mas not
pretended to defend the gross violation of Belgian
neutrality. The Belgians fought for their homes
and their honor. And because they fought wei
they are being punished they are being visited
with a destructive hate that knows no modern
parallel.
Before such facts it is surely poor occasion, as
Mr. Davis suggests in his dispatch, for the preser
walton of psychological neutrality 1t IS idle ana
wrong to talk Of restraining sympathies and re-
sentiment A crime has been committed against
small and defenceless nation, and every American
will feel a righteous indignation against the
criminal. .;
AS for what we can do, the sacked and pillaged
fields of Belgium call for succor, and Americans
should be proud to help. Gifts specifically desig-
mated for the aid Of the Belgians will be so ap'
piled by the Red Cross. Gifts may also be for
warded through the Belgian Bureau, at 10 Bridge
St, in this city. The need is great and cause
was surely never more just

This Pessimistic Period.

It's poor season for optimism. Having crawIed
so high (as we thought 1t is gloomy and disap-
pointing to see how swiftly humans can slip back
across the years. We have lost some faith, ana
we suspect that 1t will be a long while before
many of us again feel pulled up with pride over
the human race
So we cannot become thrilled over the call Of
the Life Extension Institute to battle 1t is an
excellent call. The battle 1t proposes is to save
human life, not destroy it, Our annual loss from
preventable diseases 1t seems, is equal to battle
of Waterloo every sixteen days-or battle OF
Gettysburg every three days. These battles and
their losses are pcayune affairs, mere skirmshes,
by the side Of the shambles In France to-day.
Still the idea is impressive, the call is inspiring.
Could we accomplish anything Well human
nature has its good moments, we concede. 1t will
not always be as OBSCURE ging as 1t is to-day. We
believe it was George Meredith who wrote a SON
net on the zigzag way Of progress-in the manner
Of a ship lacking or spiral winding upward, or
worm wriggling, whichever you prefer. Some
day we may start wriggling uphill again. Who

Overcoming the High Food Prices.

The new markets established by Borough fresi-
dent Marks as a preventive of war scare prices
appear to have been eminently successful. Deaf

Owing to the cart-to-consumer method OF doing

THE GERMAN ATROCITIES"
A Defence Is Here Offered in
Their Behalf.

To the Editor of The Tribune.
Sir: 1t seems but just that amid all
this terrible carnage which is now rife
in Europe a few words of protest be
said about the German so-called
atrocities" We read daily of the bomb
dropping episodes upon certain forti-
fed cities and various heartless and
inhuman cruelties in attacking nom
combatants. Immediately the Germans
are condemned as brutal and out
rageous" and the reports are set forth
with an almost fiendish delight TO be-
little anything the Germans may do.
Readers of the newspapers may recall
that recently some few hundred Prus-
SLAMS were electrocuted by the charging
with electricity of the wire hurdles be-
fore Liege and Namur. Yet with typi-
cal German stocism not one word of
protest was uttered, and this dreadful
deed has been only mentioned casually.
Yet does not this seem as cruel and
barbarous as any dropping of bombs?
Considered legally, Germany is abso-
lutely within her rights of discharge
of projectiles and explosives from bal
looms and similar aircraft" as it will
be remembered that Germany, as well
as France, did not affix her signature
to this article of the Hague conference.

To the Editor Of The Tribune.
Sir: In the midst of the universal
admiration of the Belgians, their pa
triotism, their bravery and their loyal
adherence to a righteous cause it is
interesting to note the testimony of
one Julius Cesar, who, in his "Commen-
taries" and in his very first book says,
"Horum ominium fortissimi stunt Bel
ge." II he found them brave" then,

OUR PREPoSTERoUS STAND
Why 1t Is Absurd to Regard the
Kaiser as Belligerent.

To the Editor of The Tribune.
Sir: The footless insistence and
tiresome reiterations by which you
strive to impress upon your readers
the wild notion that the Kaiser in
his natural belligerency is responsible
for the war, this and your every train
of reasoning in its support, Is alto
gether utterly preposterous. That it is
preposterous stands conclusively proved
by the general circumstance that the
whole five and-twenty years OF peace,
since the accession of William ii, has
been no more nor less than an impe-
rial epoch of true national advance
ment for the whole German people.
This, in turn, is completely demon
strated by the highly important and
unprecedented conditions of economic
general betterment throughout all Ger
many's 100000 of people, whose liv-
ings have been SO fully secured to them
by true progress that they entirely
ceased to emigrate from the Father
land.
