WORK OF PEACE ADVOCATES
Does Not Consist, 1t Is Said, Of Exag.
gerstion and Visionary Advice.

To the Editor of The Tribune.
Sir: In its editorial entitled THE
False Prophets of Peace" The Tribune
taunts professional peace folk" with
the failure of their dreams and the
SCATTERING of their visions. The edi-
torial has a strange sound, for IL is
directed, apparently, against a sort Of
peace fanatic who does not exist
among the men and women now max
ing the advocacy of peace their life
work and their profession.
That progress is slow the workers
for peace have always realized. They
have never held the dream of immedi-
ate universal peace nor have they
ignored the fact that nations must per-
haps plunge many a time into barbar-
ism and savagery before that ideal sit
uation is realized. But they believe
that each reversion to barbarism will
show only the hideousness and cost:
and futility of such struggles and
that time like the present can Only
bear out what they have said as TO the
farreaching calamities war must bring
in its train.
What peace advocates have asserted
of the forces opposed to war is not
exaggeration but truth. In the present
crisis war spirit has naturally been
aroused by such acts as the invasion
of neutral territory; but stronger than
the war spirit is the general consterns-
ton at the catastrophe and the univer-
sal condemnation of the aggressors.
In this country the feeling is one Of
incredulity and horror. Both here and
abroad men engaged in commerce, in
agriculture, in all the large industries.
see in the war only Gripping of their
interests. The mass of the people are
swept forward unwillingly into the
movement started by few militarists.
Public opinion is not now what it was
fifty years ago. IL is to changing and
educating public opinion that peace
workers are addressing themselves. By
their efforts some Of the horror of
war has been more clearly realized and
its economic results more clearly
pointed out.
That any one nation should disarm
or neglect reasonable military pre-
cautions" peace advocates have never
advised. They have maintained that
international good feeling must be es-
tablished before disarmament can be
considered. At the same time they
have condemned the ruinous COMPETE
ton in armament building. and they
have urged the possibility OF a world
conference to determine universal
limitation Of armament The Increased

AUSTRIA'S CAUSE FOR WAR
More Justi6able than the Blowing Up
of the Maine.

More Justihable than the Blowing up
of the Maine.
To the Editor of The Tribune.
Sir: Is there no justice for Austria
in the American press? Have Amer
leans forgotten how they yelled for
revenge when the Maine was blown
up in Havana Harbor? Was there
cause for war? We all thought there
was. Is Austria's case not analogous
1t was not a battleship and its crew
that was blown to pieces, but 1t was
the heir to the destiny of Austria.
And the wretched boy who did the
deed did not die himself and close
his lips forever, but gave out the
names and secrets of the true perpe-
traitors Of that deed.
Now Austria asks Servia TO be pres
emit officially when that gang OF MUIR
dcrers is brought before a court 10
be punished. Is that wrong? Our
honorable President refused to recog-
nze Huerta in Mexico, because he was
President only through dark murder.
Did any civilized nation in the world
have the right TO recognize King Peter
of Servia? Did he not gain his throne
through the murder of Queen Draga
and King Alexander?
Austria's cause for war is the just
est cause for war that ever was.

THE BATTLE OF MOBILE BAY
Sonnet from a Survivor Written on
the Fiftieth Anniversary.

To the Editor of The Tribune.
Sir: Here is sonnet, Passing the
Forts" on the battle Of Mobile Bay,
now exactly fifty years ago, in which
battle | had the honor to take part
as surgeon of Farragut's fleet.
PASSING THE FORTS.
Mobile Bay. Aug. 8, 1884.
The battle brooded in the morning
light;
Silent our squadron stood at break of
day,
Until the ingoing tide should speed
the way;
Then flew "the Old Man's"' signal for
the fight;
All down the line the red and blue and
white
Broke o1t like laughter on the stern
array,
And loud the cannon-song began to
play,
And swift the crashing thunderbolts
to smite;
For either cause did equal passion
burn,
Brave souls contended in tn embst-
tied cloud;
All, shipmatesl you who thence did
not return
A nations dear remembrance shall en-
shroud.
But see! the storm is spent; and
splendoring far
The corposant Victory flames on every
spar.

HONEY BEES.
EARNEST GUY.

All day long they come and 60,
Busy ever to and fro,
Getting honey while they may
Each delightful summer day.
How they Ait from flower TO flower
Tree or bush or vlnc-clad bower,
Getting all that they may bear
While the days are bright and fair.
In the neat house where they dwell
Is a pantry laden we'll
With the sweetest food we know,
Just because bees love flowers SO.
Bless the little honey-bees,
Surely doth their labor please
Think how we'll each mite doth know
Where sweetest honeyed flowers grow.

Our Peaceful Land of Many Tongues.

When a Serb from Novibszsr and an Austrian

Correspondent Rebuked for Evoking
II Against Japan.

To the Editor of The Tribune.
Sir: Contemplate as race prejudice
is under all circumstances, il rarely
presents itself at so inopportune a
moment as in the letter signed white"
in this mornings Tribune. The writer
goes far out of his way to vent q mo-
tiveless spite against a friendly people.
Japan has done nothing but give per-
fectly proper and timely assurance TO
England that her treaty obligations
would be faithfully kept.
The fact that her inhabitants pos
sess skins of hue unlike our own is
totally irrelevant, inasmuch as she has
deservedly acquired recognition as a
civilized power. The present war has
nothing to do with colorphobia. The
larger international relations concern
human beings as such, regardless OF
the mere and unimportant accident OF
color. JAMES +. MORTON, Jr.

The second oiling of Heppner's
streets is now in progress and this
coating should form a sufficient crust
to keep the dust down for many
months to come. AS it is being put
on now there is a tendency to track
ing into the places of business and
on to the sidewalks and crossings
but this condition will last but few
days as it takes but a short time for
the crust to form. The proposition
to oil other streets of the city is meet
ing with much favor and Marshal
McCraw is having but little difficulty
in getting residents along these
streets to sign up. When the terri
tory has been gone over and the sig
natures secured the city will begin
the work of oiling and thenceforth
Heppner will be known as "Dustless
Town"

BELGIAN artist
recalls CRUELTIES

William A. Sherwood. a noted artist,
who was in Antwerp, when that city
was bombarded and captured by the
Germans. is the guest of Josiah Mar
vel, here. Mr.. Sherwood, who Is a ma.
tive of Maryland. has been spending
some time with his sister, Mrs. Il. l..
Finlaw, and his mother, Mrs. Jean A.
Sherwood. of Milford. He was also
recently a guest for two week of the
National Arts Club of New York.
Mr. Sherwood gives a vivid word pic
ture of the scenes i'm Antwerp, both
before and after it was occupied by
the German army. He has spent 10
years In Antwerp and had spent more
than four years continuously in that
city before the war started. He says
that the four days following the decla-
ration of war between Austria and
Servia, were the most anxious of all
to the Belgians. as they then did not
know whether or not there would be
war and the anxiety of the people was
especially noticeable In those four
days. however, Belgium modified an
army Of 100000 men and had them
ready at the posts. OF this number
$4,000 were regular soldiers.
Mr. Sherwood, who with Mrs. Sher-
wood, was in Antwerp during the
siege, states that the actual siege
lasted but two weeks although
there had been fighting near the city
for several weeks previous. Mr..
Sherwood saw the German army
when II marched into Antwerp after
the city had surrendered and stated
that while the soldiers in the city
proper were orderly yet that was not
true Of the smaller towns close to
Antwerp. Mr.. Sherwood, says he saw
small boys with their hands cut off
and others with the leaders in their
hands cut 10 prevent them from ever
being able to handle a rife. He says
that he saw women who had been
abused by German soldiers and told
of one instance OF a woman whom he
saw dead with fifteen wounds In her
chest, inflicted either before or after
she had been abused Mr. Sherwood
related many other pitiful scenes that
he witnessed before leaving the coun-
try.
Mr.. Sherwood remained in Antwerp
for some days after the city was Oc-
cupied by the Germans, because of his
inability to secure a wagon TO haul
his pictures that were IN three pack
ing cases. With his own passport
and German pass through the lines
secured through the United States
consul he eventually got wagon in
which he and Mrs. Sherwood rode 10
Bergen-op-zoom Holland, a distance
OF about 30 miles.
The artist will now open a studio
either In Philadelphia or New York.
