Rear Admiral Mahan.

Rear Admiral Mahans fame will rest chiefly
on his work as a historian and critic of naval
warfare. He was able officer and his profess
siona capacity was recognized when he was Sc
lected by President Mckinley at the outbreak of
the Spanish war TO be member of the Naval
War Board. That board sat in Washington and
directed the movements of the fleets, and Admiral
Mahan, who was then captain on the retired
list, soon became one Of its most influential men,
bers For his services Congress promoted him
one grade on the retired lst--an exceptional
measure Of recognition.
He yas not only expert in the conduct OF
naval warfare, but he possessed the gift-rare
among soldiers and sailors-of being able TO gen.
eralize from his knowledge and experience. He
had the soundness Of the thorough student and a
literary quality which gave clearness and orderli-
ness 10 his conclusions lie could analyze opera
tions and trace results TO their causes. Gradu-
ally he built up theory of sea power and It's
effect on the outcome Of wars and the development
of nations which has been accepted by critics the
world over.

Women Workers.

Possession of vote isn't the only item III ''e
catalogue Of women's demands which some ha'e
christened Feminism. Possession OF the righV u
work and of berth to work in are rated even
higher by many feminists. Figures just maze

women haven't yet acquired the vote in all STATES
thew haven't neglected their opportunities 10 ex-
tend the scope of womens work. Within the last
decade the number of women architects, design
ers and drafters increased 200 per cent; women
"cergymen," including religious and chari'y
workers. increased 1898 per cent; women IN III
erary work, 126 per cent; women IN medicine'
S5.3 per cent Quite as remarkable as these per-
centage increases is a comparison of totals. VI
825127 professional workers in 1910, 673,4lo
were women.
Figures such as these must inevitably snocK
those who believe that "woman's place is IN the
home" The latter cannot change the facts
Is it too much to expect that they should change
their views? Under the altered economic condi-
tions which produce such statistics, woman suf-
frage motherhood for teachers and kindred
"rcodernisms" do not seem so unreasonable after

The Aldermen Cut the Budget.

The sum of $4,000 cut by the Board of Alder
men from the budget as agreed to by the Board
of Estimate represents conscientious effort 70
lower estimates already pared almost to the
quick. Inevitably there will be protests at these
further reductions, and some of them are to be
regretted-notably the one which reduces the
funds for free public lectures and lecturers ices
in the appropriation for the Board of Education
Il is also regrettable that the aldermen felt II
necessary to slash the allowance for the salary OIL
the head of the Municipal Employment Bureau
If injustice has been done in these instances
the Mayor can be relied on to restore the appro'
priations before the budget is finally adopted
On general principles the aldermen's pairing down
of allowances will be approved by the public
which is in frame of mind to applaud anything
resembling economy in the handling of public
funds

What the Boy Scout Movement Means.

Perhaps the boys on your street are boy
Scouts; perhaps they are not. Very possibly you
know of the movement only through seeing line
of khaki-clad youngsters march by. II you are
like a good many casual Americans you know
nothing of the real meaning of Boy Scouts and
the worth to you and the country OF this huge'
enthusiastic organization of boy spirit
A substitute for war is one way to describe the
training of the Boy Scouts. Certain good, strong
virtues come mingled with the evil and destruc-
ton Of fighting. Most normal men feel that the
nd of WARRIOR which we all hope and pray
will leave a gap in the training OF men which
must be filled. We want race of sturdy, coura-
geous men, strong in body as well as spirit, and
the Boy Scout organization aims to achieve just
that well balanced human being.
There is nothing martial about It's doings. Mil
itary drill is utilized to develop discipline and the
snirit of team work as we'll as for its physical
benefits. So is all the other lore of outdoor life
employed to train boys to see quickly and intelli-
gently and to act effectively Every Boy Scout
learns TO swim; he learns how TO give first AID 10
the wounded how to save the drowning how TO
tie knots, how to keep himself healthy and strong,
how to cook and how to camp; he is taught TO
obey his leaders, to be courteous, loyal and truth
full, and to help others in need, whether it is the
case of a strange puppy or kid brother.
That is large order-the making of charac-
ter, nothing less. But just because the virtues
are practsed rather than preached, because the
ideals sought come naturally everyday habits
OF clean outdoor work and play, the Boy Scout
movement is working wonders. 1t is an outdoor
school. II is fine conduct in practice.
That is what the Boy Scouts of America are
doing to-day. and whether you have boy Of your
own or not you should be glad to lend hand.
The sum of $4,000, to cover the annual expenses
Of supervision and direction, is being raised here
this week, and neither in Belgium nor anywhere
else do we know of better conse. The Tribune
is glad to acclaim the good works of the move
ment and glad TO urge its readers to give in its
aid

The MAYORS Unemployment Committee

Mavor Mitches idea of committee OF repre-
sentative citizens to deal with the unemployment
situation is undoubtedly as good plan as could
be devised. The committee should be named soon'
If distress has not yet gone beyond the ability
of the organized charities and the citys agencies
70 handle it. there is no time to lose in preparing
whatever form of organization is necessary 10
meet the crisis which really cold weather ana
snow will bring.
Not in wears has New York City faced such slt-
nation as exists now because of couple OF years
of business stagnation, emphasized by the wars
reaction on this country. The Mayor and his
advisers are wise not to try to gloss 1t over IN
stead of endeavoring to meet it squarely. MI.
Rruere was accurate in saying it was likely 10
become "the chief concern of patriotic New York
ers during 1915"
New York has patriotism enough, and money
enough. to care for its needy but in times as bad
as these nothing less than a complete disclosure
of the extent of the need be expected to bring
the necessary means for relieving 1t. The pro-
nosed committee will be able to furnish the facts
and handle the funds satisfactorily. 1t is to be
hoped that its work will not end there. Unem-
nlovment hangs on from year to year. This COM
mittee will not be taking full advantage of its
onnortunities for service if it does not endeavor
to bring about something resembling permanent
solution of this difficult problem.

An Open Forum for
Public Debate.
! A DENIAL FROM EX.GOv. STOKES
Is Not Involved in Party Contests for
Office.

To the Editor of The Tribune.
Sir: | desire to enter my courteous
but earnest and emphatic denial OF that
part of your article in Mondays Trib-
une on Jersey affairs so far as 1t al
fected David Baird and myself. Mr..
Baird has been a Republican OF fifty
years standing, and has, we all trust,
many years more of usefulness before
him. He and | are not rivals in the
slightest, and he has always been
personal friend of mine, although ne
often differs with me, as he has right.
His support of Mr.. Hates for the Speak
ership, an Assemblymsn from his own
county, a young man of great promise
and eminently competent for the POSI-
ton, was a natural one for Mr.. Baird,
and one which he assumed, | have no
doubt, with his usual courage and zeal.
have had no fight with Mr.. Baird over
this matter and have achieved no VIC
tory in the outcome of the Speskership
struggle.
! tried to make il clear in public
statement that while | was always VIII
ing to do active work for the party
success, as | have done the last four
dark years, and that | was interested
in the fulfilment of the party pledges,
| did not propose and would not be In
volved in the party contests for tenn
porary place. | did not request, one
way or the other, the vote of single
member of the Assembly, not even the
member from my own county, IN. the
Speakership matter. Mr.. Godfrey owes
his success not TO me, but 70 his own
work and merit. The selection OF the
leader was made by the members OF
the Assembly themselves, and II ss
most admirable one. Runyon will be
heard from. My attitude is that the
members of the House of Assembly are
fully competent to select their own ON,
GERS without outside interference, ana
to that policy / shall adhere IN my
political activities. have no contest
with any one within the party, nor
have had, and where can promote
peace and harmony | shall so do:

The Sabbath Day.

rBy Miss Mary Ann o'Byrns Of wstsr'liet. y. "
And when see people dancing
That carries themselves in an noble way,
To me they look like angels
Instead OF mortals made OF clay.
And any kind OF music
Will help the dance along,
So let some one play on the jewsharp,
While others play on the comb.
Then it's very CHEEKY in home
To have dance among them
For when one gets up and takes the floor,
All the rest will go jumping then.
Particularly on the Sabbath day.
When your religious duties are done,
II will make you twice as pious
To have a little fun.

WHY THEATRES SLUMP
A Reader Who Objects to the Stark
Realism of Five Dollar Bill.

To the Editor of The Tribune.
Sir: In your editorial of to-day you
try to account for the slump in theatre
attendance and ascribe it TO the fact
that the playgoer finds in the play no
relief from the stark realism of the
daily news" This is all very nice and
psychological. But may there not be
another reason? May not it be that
the playgoer, finding no relief from the
stark realism of being held up and
made to pay So for two 81 seats, goes
to the movies" or stays at home?
In my own circle of friends are many
who, like myself, refuse to submit to
the extortion, and have learned to get
along without the theatre. May not
this state of affairs be general?

LEGAL AID IN NEED
Society Appeals to Public for Assist.
anCe.

| To the Editor OF The Tribune.
Sir: The Legal Aid Society, which
for many years has performed great
service in this city, is now compelled
to appeal to the public for that assist
ance which must be had if it is to COM
plete its years work and be in position
to begin the next year without serious
financial embarrassment.
The society's mission is to assist
those to obtain their legal and proper
rights who otherwise would be de-
prived of them.
or equal Importance is the fact that
it teaches respect for American insti-
tutions and demonstrates that under
our laws and in our courts of Justice
the poor man has opportunity equal to
the millionaire. II gives new courage
to men and women who are respondent
under the wrongs inflicted upon them
and arc ready TO turn to violence.
Since its foundation the Legal Aid
Society has handled more than 500 900
cases at an average cost of 81 10. In
1913 alone the number of cases was
3s,ls9. 1t recovered in small amounts
more than $l3S,000 for its poor clients,
and this years work will show even
better results.
The war in Europe has made the
task of the society more difficult, and
has cut off much OF its normal revenue
and, on the other hand, has increased
the demand for its services.
To close its years work and leave
the society free from debt $4,000 is
required, and for such a sum il makes
this appeal to the public. II this
amount is not received the society will
be compelled to cut down its work to
a large extent, and at this time OF
stress nothing could be more unfortu-
nate.
Cheeks should be sent to the treas
urer. Allen Wardwell, 10 Broad st.
