Glynn. Bensel, Sohmer and Tammany.

Governor Glynn is wrong when he says; The
question to be decided by the voters this fall Is
not the propriety of Mr. Bensel's actions in par
ticuar proceeding in a particular county, but 1t Is
whether or not my administration Of the affairs or
eleven million people merits my continuance in
office"
The question is whether a Tammany dominated
Democratic organization which furnished the votes
which alike nominated Governor Glynn and State
Engineer Bensel shall be put back into power In the
state The Governor cannot separate himself from
Bensel and Sohmer. They stand or fall with him;
he stands or falls with them. His administration.
as he is fond Of terming it. is no better than the
weakest official who held Office with him. especially
as that official is running now on the same ticket.

Rack to Common Sense Neutrality.

# is good news that President Wilson and Sec
rotary Bryan have seen a light on the neutrality
question. The earlier view hat loans might not
he made by our bankers to any of the beligerents
WAS based neither on reason nor on international
law Had the rule been intended as temporary
device TO prevent the Withdrawal of gold 1t might
have been defensible. But stated as Mr.. Bryan
stated IT. that 'Ioans by American bankers TO any
foreign nation which is at war are inconsistent
with the true spirit Of neutrality the proposition
was absurd
The present withdrawal Of the prohibition repre-
sents the waving Of preposterOus idealism in
favor Of reviving commerce and little hard bust
ness sense Unless such credits are permitted any
large scale sale Of American products TO the war
ring nations is extremely difficult Of execution
There is here a distinct promise Of more profitable
business for Americans-and it Is perhaps not too
much TO hope. the indication Of dawning appre
citation Of business needs the part of the ad-
ministratiOn.

PRAYER VS.. PREPARATION
The Danger of Trusting Too Implicitly
to Treaties.

To the Editor Of The Tribune.
Sir: As Germany (which heretofore
has been considered one of the most
civilized nations of the world delib-
erately violates treaties and ignores
her agreements to the rules of modern
civilized warfare, what can be expected
of other nations?
Germany has set a bad precedent. and
1t seems to us that Secretary of State
Bryan and his peace treaties are Sc
rious menace to this country. While
TIE peace treaties are binding upon an
honorable nation like the United States,
any nation may violate them, as Ger
many violated her treaties, calling them
"a mere scrap of paper" While the
United States is waiting a full year,
&c the treaties require, before declar-
ing war, the enemy can quietly prepare
to capture Unexpectedly the country.
Even Mexico, If given year in which
10 prepare and to secure the aid of
Japan, could conquer this country if il
struck an unexpected and unprepared-
for blow, while Bryan and other peace
fanatics were talking and praying and
hoping for peace. Far more important
than praying for peace is TO be pre-
pared for war. and to remember that

ENROLL AS WELL AS REGISTER
The Urgent Duty of the Independent
Voter.

To the Editor OF The Tribune.
Sir: Permit me TO invite your atton-
ton and that Of your readers to the
necessity Of independent thinking men
enrolling when they register.
An enrolment blank should be hand
ed to each man in the place of registry
after he has answered the questions
put to him and signed his name TO the
registration book. The booth IS there
for the purpose of enabling him to
mark the enrolment blank IN secret.
An envelope is provided in which the
enrolment blank IS then placed.
| have heard it stated several times
that some voters are unaware that an
enrolment blank should be handed to
the voter when he registers, and there
fore they leave the place of registry
without even knowledge that they had
an opportunity to enroll. so that they
may take part in the primaries next
year. II is on the days of registration
that the machine politician does his
best work to maintain himself In
power, for he and his co-workers get
out as many Of their friends to enroll
as possible. and in no instance do they
solicit the independent thinking mans
enrolment for obvious reasons.
To rid the state and parties of pOlit-
ical bosses it IS imperative that the
Independent thinking man enroll when
he registers. so that he will be allowed
TO participate in the primaries OF his
party next year.

THE BELGIAN INVASION
DR.. Dernburg Replies to Ambassador
Jusserand's Denial.

To the Editor Of The Tribune.
Sir: The French Ambassador in his
statement Of the 18th inst. declares
the testimony as TO the presence o.
French troops in Liege and Namur be
fore July 30 mere fabrication"
have given my sources; the RESPONSE
bility is theirs. But if / consult my
own judgment ! value the testimony OF
disinterested persons higher than any
strong denial from French official
sources. The ambassador will excuse
me il ! say | cannot accept his state
ment without accompanying proof,
especially If, as he will doubtless agree
such Official statements have repeat
edly been found hardly absolutely cor
rect. SO. for instance, he has denied
the throwing of bombs into Nlrnberg
before the outbreak of the war on the
same day wnen Mr. Pulitzer. Of The
World gave in a letter he wrote from
Ausbach near Nirnbergl on August =
the full details. cannot inform the
ambassador why 10 took France ten
days TO come 10 the help of Belgium.
The 4bth Regiment Is stationed at
Cambria, and from there. according to
my map. there are 100 miles 10 Ma
muir as the crow flies. Perhaps the
explanation is that the BelFlsns have
been LETT in the lurch; perhaps that his
eXcellercy is not correctly Informed.
But the ambassador does not in the
heat of his argument quite grasp the
German point OF view. II is simply
this: We consider 1T wrong to break
treaty of neutrality and we regretted
II, and thereby II does for German
ethics not MAKE bit of difference
whether France broke that treaty first
or not. In fact. the Chancellor said
we had to break IL, since he had most
positive information that France was
ready for the invasion. Il does not ex-

euse the deed except as showing the
absolute necessity for it. But the
Chancellor was apparently mistaken in
his information. France was not only
ready to invade Belgium, but it had
actually done so. Certainly VI. JUS

and so / will stick to the information
of the "house superintendent and the
other sources cited.
