REMINDS T. R. OF
CHILD LABOR BILL
Secretary of National Commit.
tee Points TO Legislation
Pending i'm Congress.

Representative Of the Nations,
Child Labor Committee, with head.
quarters at 1OJ East 22d st., took ez.
ception yesterday to the contention Of
Colonel Roosevelt. in his recent speech.
es in the West. that the Progressive
party was the only one fayoriHg fed.
eral legislation against child labor
owen r, Lovejoy general secretary u
the committee, said that Colonel
Roosevelt had overlooked the fact that
a child labor 5ill was now pending be-
fore Congress. lie said it was not far
for any one party to attempt to make
political capital cut Of this particular
issue.
Mr.. Roosevelt seems to be unaware
Of the changes ia Congress and he at-
vance Of public sentiment sinse The
days when he was President and the
Beverage child labor bill was pend
ing" said Mr.. Lovejey, "and he ignores
the fact that to-day a child labor bill
introduced by the chairman Of The
Democratic caucus, is pending before
the House of representatives
eve have no desire to enlist in 3
partisan controversy. We feel that
since federal child labor Legislation
has been recognized by men Of all 20.
litical parties as right and necessary.
1t is unfair for any one party 10 a.
tempt 20 make political capital out Of
this particular issue. Mr.. Roosevelt is
a member Of our committee, but 10y
atty to our friends in other camps cor
pels us 10 remind him and his allies Of
the Palmer-Owen child labor bill.

BELGIANs IN THE CONGO
Atrocities There, Are Cited by Ger.
man Critic for Their Moral Now.

To the Editor of The Tribu..-
Sir: Are these "thrifty, gentle and
heroic Belgians" you speak OF in your
article headed New Blood for Great
Britain" the same that committed the
frightful atrocities in the Congo dis
trict which the newspapers we're fun
of a few years ago?
Have they endeared themselves TO
the impartial" Tribune by pouring
boiling oil upon the German soldiers
and torturiug the German wounded in
the most bestial manner? ! have read
letters from German soldiers in the
field proving these things to be true.
although The Tribune probably regards
everything coming from a German
source as utterly unworthy Of belief,
while it puts supreme confidence in
everything coming from the Allies, es-
pecially from that dear London.

ENGLAND WAS UNPREPARED
Mr.. A. Maurice Low Argues That She
Could Not Have Planned and
SOUGHT War.
editor OF The Tribune.

To the Editor OF The Tribune.
Sir: DR.. Bernhard Dernbulg ana
other defenders OF Germany contlnu-
ally assert that England forced the war
on Germany because of Jealousy OF
Germany; that for years England has
been seeking her opportunity; that
finally she ayailed herself of the pre-
text Of the violation Of the neutrality
of Belgium, hoping 20 destroy Ger
many aud crush German commercial
competition.
Assertions are not facts, no matter
how often they may be repeated. but
the public is likely to become confused
when it is told the same thing da,
after day with an air Of plnusibilIty.
DR.. Dernburg and his fellow laborers
have accused the English Of being
guilty Of q great many crimes, but
none of them have charged that tn
English are a pack OF fools; on the
contrary, they have attributed to them
almost preternatural cunning. Now. IL
the first premise is correct, that Eng
land deliberately brought on the wac
and for wears has been Waiting an OPP
portunity to attack Germany, and the
second premise is also true, that Eng
land made war with one end IN view,
to profit by Germany's misfortune,
would any but a nation of fools plunge
into war against the most powerful
military nation history has known, a
nation that for years has openly
boosted Of its preparations for war,
that was ready to strike on the in
slant, without being ready down to the
last gaiter. button'2
Instead Of being ready, instead OF
having made any preparations, instegd
of having modified all her resources
of men aud money and credit, England
took not a single step until after war
was declared. By 8 stroke OF good
fortunc-pure luck-her feet was IN

on half q dozen oceans; but barring

dent and not design-EnRland was As
