AN OVERHEAD FOR ART
So Reader Regards Wrath Over the
Destruction at Rheims.

To the Editor Of The Tribune.
Sir: The structures on the Germans
for the Smelling of the Rheims Cathe-
dral seem to be due to an overzeal for
art rather than to a calm review Of the
facts and conditions of warfare.
Would the French, if placed in the
same position as the Germans, spare q
historic monument ii it aided or
sheltered her enemy, and if it was
used as a point of vantage by the IN
yader?
Many of your readers will doubtless
recall that when Paris was, q few weeks
ago, in danger Of investment by the
enemy the military authorities had for
defensive purposes, and in order that
the invaders would have no shelter
from the hail of fire from the forts,
decided that hundreds Of buildings, in
Guiding churches, museums and other
landmarks, were to be RACED to the
ground. Is it reasonable to expect that
the Germans will respect monuments
which the French themselves are ready
to sacrifice for strategic purposes :?
Whole cities have been sacrificed in
warfare in order to thwGrt or cripple
an enemy. The Russians set the torch
to Moscow, depriving Napoleon of his
expected winter quarters, and this stern
measure proved disastrous to the in
Vader.
1t is not necessary TO go outside our
own country to find an example of van
dalism more wanton and revolving than
anything that has occurred in civilized
warfare. The sacking of Washington
and the burning of the National Capt.
toll by the British in the War of 1912,
destroying priceless records which can
never be replaced, was an act of bar
barism which Americans can neither
forgive nor forget.

For Human; Against Barnes; for Re-
publican Success.

The Republicans to-day have chance to throw
off the Barnes control of the party organization
and nominate man Of the Hughes brand by yoi-
ing for Harvey d. Hinman This primary con
test is between him and Mr. Whitman. Both are
good public servants But Mr.. Humans nominal
ton would make the candidate for Governor a
man of proved ability on state questions with
long experience to tit him for the office. 1t would
show the state that the party was once more III
line with the Hughes political ideas. 1t would
bring to the support Of the Republican ticket thou
sands Of progressive and Independent votes. More
over the choice of Mr. Hinman would leave Mr.
Whitman here as District Attorney, where be
belongs He has the greater part Of his term to
serve, and that is an obligation which he cannot
we'll afford TO overlook. He is not as well quail
fed as is Mr. Human to be Governor. He is bet
ter qualified to be District Attorney than any man
likely to succeed him If he quits that job in search
Of higher political honors.
If Mr.. Human be nominated, Mr. Barnes will
retire from the state craftsmanship, voluntarily
or involuntarily. Neither Mr.. Barnes nor any
Barnes man can climb into that job on Mr.. Hiu-
mans shoulders as would be likely TO be the case
If Mr. Whitman were chosen. The latter has
Barness support: he could not fight Barnes.
