"A WAR OF BARBARISM"
The Violator Of the Law Of Nations Il
the Worst Of Felons.

To the Editor of The Tribune.
Sir: / write to thank you for you;
mastery editorial in The Tribune of
Sunday on Germany Laying Up Wrath
by a War Of Barbarism."
particularly admired the clear man
ner in which you set forth in all es-
sential detail the reasons why Ger
many's initial crime in her violation of
Belgium is so heinouS. What follows
10 only the conduct natural to a des-
perado,
The man in the street needs to have
kept before him constantly the gravity
of her offence, and to be taught that
were there force behind the law of
nations as there is behind private law
she would be hailed into court as the
worst of felons.
This central fact must not be suf-
fered to become attenuated by the plea
Of war necessity, nor obscured by the
sophistry Of Slavic peril, nor forgotten
in the excitement of battles. For upon
the principle of the sanctity of neutral
states rests the only hope Of civiliza-
ton emerging ever from its welter Of
blood and from the ruin that is now
staring it in the face.
Your artist on the same page has
not exaggerated the import Of the out
rage by his composite picture of our
kind German friend who would save
European civilization from the Slavic
peril. One item he has necessarily
omitted. The mouth should be utter
ing pious phrases the meanwhile:

THE SURE THING PHILOSOPHY.

HofacsI Book .. Ode 10.
"RsOtps VtVss. LicisL Bsdae oItSm" l.!
Licinius, don't hug the shore
Too closely; or you'll get In trouble
Nor tempt the depths OF ocean, for
Your danger there is nearly double.
Who plays the golden mean Is safe;
Extremes are reservoirs of danger;
When Horace scolds you mustn't chafe-
You know I'm not perfect stranger.
Don't fade away in dark despair
When things are not just as they should be;
The world is really pretty fair;
Things might be worse you know they could be
And likewise don't be Overproud
Because you've found four-leafed clover,
hate to call to mind a shroud,
But-a the fun will soon be over.
SO be prepared for good or bad;
You're bound to meet them wilIy-nilly;
Be neither wild with Joy nor sad;
These fervid people are so silly.
Be temperate In your Joy and pain;
Nor swell your head with proud ambition;
The perfect life is Safe and Sane
Why, mine has proved the proposition!

The English Dinner Table ON War Basis

England is plentifuly supplied with foodstufrs
and is likely to continue long way from famine
unless some unforeseen disaster Overtakes her
feet Still, account is being taken of possibilities,
and the London Lancet" contains an interesting
discussion of foods with hints for economy In the
English home.
1t is already time the Lancet" urges, for every
housekeeper to subordinate the palate TO mere
physiological needs and avoid waste flashes and
stews are incucated and the combination Of
bread butter and cheese is held up as the ideal
meal, presenting a perfect balance of protens,
carbohydrates fats and mineral substances. AS
the supply Of butter shrnks dripping Caught dur.
ing the roasting of meat can take its place.
So long as the mastery of the sea remains, the
fish supply can help greatly, it is pointed out.
Herring, the kipper and the bloater, present the
largest nutriment, for u given sum- of all animal
food The lentils are also recommended for their
heterogeneous value, and kind word is said for
the chestnut and banana. --Turnips, carrots and
onions on the other hand, decried as possess
ing very little nutritive value.
If only science had invented a synthetic food
the Lancet" concludes! Then England would
need only water, carboaic acid the soil and the
air to exist indefinitely. Lacking such discov-
cry, small wonder that England looks to her
feet and tries to put her roast beef behind her.

A QUESTION OF HONOR
Why England Upheld France and q
Certain Scrap Of Paper.

To the Editor of The Tribune.
Sir: The long letter from your cor
respondent, Lucia Ames Mead, in your
issue of August 81, resolves itself into
this: That Great Britain need not
have entered the great international
war If she had simply agreed to Ger
msny's request to stand by while
France was being crushed. For Great
Britain to make such a bargain would
have meant national disgrace, and to
let France be so reduced in power as
to become subordinate to German pol
icy would have been the poorest kind
of craftsmanship. Great Britain was
perfectly justified and acted honorably
in refusing to have her hands tied,
whatever advantages Germany held out
to her for her neutrality. She chose
the only wise and honorable course
open to her, viz, to preserve her full
freedom to act as circumstances
seemed to her to require. Yes, Great
Britain might have secured the free
dom of her own country and her col
onies from war-at the cost Of her own
honor.
Evidently your correspondent looks
upon national honor as a meaningless
thing; much as the German Chan
cellor looks upon a treaty, mere
SCRAP of paper" to be torn up at will
And as for the cold-blooded PROPOSE
tion that Great Britain look on while
friendly state was being smashed
one would hardly have expected such
a sentiment from a woman. R. L. S.

Here's luck for a hundred boys
They had seen their vacations disap-
pear; they were bitterly disappointed;
but now they are all smiles again for
those vacations have been rescued.
These hundred lads were to 60 TO
the Shepherd Knapp Home Of the Trlo-
une Fresh Air Fund in the last party
before the opening of the schools;
They had been building all sorts OF
plans for high old time. Then came
with the return of the present party
Thursday of this week. There were
no funds to provide for the entertain
ment of the next and last party.
The news of this blow to the hopes
O. the boys travelled further, however,
than merely to the boys. 1t came to
the ears of the people Of Litchfield,
Conn, where the home is located, and
they felt worse than the boys about it,
for they are where they can see what
a fortnight at the home means to
boy.
Some of these people determined to
do what they could to rescue at least
some of the outings that the closing
Of the home cut of, After talking It
over among themselves, they sent
word to the Tribune Fund that they
would guarantee the cost of outings
for hundred boys, If the home could
be kept open for that number.
The home is to be kept open, and
the lucky hundred will set out for
Litchfeld Thursday. The full compile
ment of Shepherd Knapp Is 25O boys,
but no funds are available to meet
the expense OF an additional hundred
and fifty in this party. Perhaps some
eleventh hour gift will yet make it
possible to send more than the hun
dred now planned for.
The boys to 90 away Thursday will
bring the total number of lads enter
tanned at this centre up to 1,l0O for
the present season. OF these outings

NEVER PEACE WITH INJUSTICE
the Editor of The Tribune.

To the Editor of The Tribune.
Sir: AS a concrete expression OF SEN
timent, the peace parade was most
praiseworthy. In any other sense It
must be regarded as academic, futile
and barren of results.
War is a symptom; not a disease.
The demonstration should have been
directed at the disease, not the symp-
tom. The disease is injustice. AS long
as nations transgress the moral law
militarism will flourish.
Coming events throw their shadows
before them. The shadow of war ia
militarism. Who that observed the de
velopment of German militarism
doubted the approaching European
cataclysm? Il was inevitable.
Sentimentalists may pray for peace,
but unhappy Poland has cried to heaven
for justice for more than a century.
Peace by agreement? Yes, by all
means; but never on the basis of injus-
tice. Deny justice to Poland, and the
inevitable concomitant is militarism,
and militarism bespeaks ultimate war.
Fiat justitia, rust eslum.

New York's Absentee Congressman.

This state has the unenvable distinction OF
having the banner list Of absentee Represents
tives in Congress, Of all those whose neglect OF
duty caused Congress to adopt a penalty system
From December of last year to August % there
were 1877 rolcalls in the House. OF the 81 Demo
Gratis from this state % were absent more than 100
times Five were absent more than 100 times.
1t has been frequent cause of humiliation to
loyal residents Of New York City that its repre-
sentatves had so little prestige in Congress. The
explanation lies in the chronic absenteeiSm OF
Tammany men like Metz Riordan, Goldfoge,
Loft Levy Dooling and Gouden. Yet the respon-
sbility rests on the voters who send such men to
draw pay for work which they make nc pretence
of performing.
