evidently thought at first that General Joffre was
oversangune, but he soon gave his fun adherence
to the project for taking the offensive That
project required an heroic steadness on the part
Of the entire allied line as far east as Verdun'
But the French armies were equal to the emer'
gency. We know as yet very little about the de-
tails Of the battle OF the Marne but 1t is evident
that without the aid Of the spendidly sustained
offensive of Generals Toch, de IAngle de Cary and
sarrail the attack on the German right wing near
Paris could not have been so swiftly and com
pletely successful.
The French generals will receive due credit from
grateful nation when the war is over In strik-
ing contrast with the high rank of the German
army commanders. they have only the title OF gem
eral of divislon--that is, major general But tamc

Put Republicans in Congress.

The record Of this session of Congress has not
been one to appeal to New York State. With Con-
gress controlled by Democrats and the Democracy
controlled by the South it was not to be expected
that New York should fare otherwise than she has
Jared That leaves little reason why there should
he any Overwhelmingly enthusiastic response to
President wilson's appeal for support for the state
ticket as means Of supporting the federal policy
and electing Democratic Congress delegation.
This state should not heed that appeal. There
is no reason why it should put Tammany back
into control here, even to please President Wilson.
There is no reason why It should elect Demo
cratic Senator of Tammany affiliations and
Democratic batch of Congressman, mostly Tam
manyized. A Republican state administration Mr.
Wadsworth for Senator and Republican Congress
men in the majority in this states delegation will
be much better for New York.

Superlative Prison Reform.

Those captious critics Of this states prison sys-
ten who have been demanding reforms constantly
from Superintendent Riley and Mr. Mccormick,
tho pumber-warden OF Sing Sing, have their
answer at last. Surely the most Jealous reform.
ers could not do what these officials have done
for David Sullivan, incarcerated for wreckng the
Union Bank of Brooklyn, TO the sorrow and fnan-
cial loss of hundreds Of depositors. Fearing that
he would be unable TO earn his former fat income
as banker after his unfortunate conviction these
tender hearted officials admit they have ACQUIRED
an autOmobe-at state eXpense--and have per.
mitted him 10 drive il without restraint around
the country to qualify himself for earning living
as a chauffeur.
This is so admirable an instance Of farsighted-
ness and zeal for utilizing valuable human ma
teria that 1t should be extended indefinitely Ex-
Senator Stilwel, for instance, may not be able 10
legislate and practise law when his term expires
So the state should start q mission on the Bowery
where he might conduct servces--he has always
had a bent for church work, according to campaign
raphes-reimbursn himself with the collec
tlOns lifted.
Mr.. Becker, If not executed will doubtless find
his usefulness as a detective limited by his double

straint pending the decision of bis appeal Re-

No Time to Hamper Army and Navy.

The Assistant Secretary Of the Navy talked
good calm sense In his plea for more men for the
American navy The shortage Of 1900 men which
he disclosed, following hard upon Congressman
Gardeners speech in the House upon our other
military shortcomings, is a timely warning The
pity is that Mr.. Rooseyelts appeal Is likely 10 find
scant response In the White House, which is to
say with the controlling spirit OF the Democratic
party. Mr. Wilson referred to Congressman Gard
ner's speech as "a pleasant mental exercise" and
he doubtless feels the same calm superiority
toward his youthful aid In the Navy Department
There can be no question Of the sentiment Of
the country we think The desire for peace is
stronger than ever. The insistence upon our pos
sessing proper weapons by land and sea for our
national defence which necessarily includes an
effective offence is practically universal.
There is a strengthening resolve here, as among
the Allies, that If peace comes every effort shall
be made toward an agreement upon a limitation
of armament. How far such an agreement may
90 no man can predict If Germany prevails, any
disarmament Is unlikely
In any event. there is a world of difference be-
tween disarmament by agreement among the great
civilized powers and q blind throwing away of
weapons upon sheer hope and prayer. The navy
should have its men and the appropriations for
the army and navy should in no wise be skimped.

THE MOTHER-TEACHER
Why Does No One Protest Against
Mothers in Other Occupations

To the Editor of The Tribune.
Sir: When reading the documents
attacking these women it seems to me
that they reveal such heartlessness and
stupidity that one cannot understand
how, among a generous people, some
one has not yet arisen to protest
against such an infamous proposition
as making a culprit of a woman be-
cause she is a mother. Why have not
other women, also struggling to make a
living and have a normal life, been
chosen as the aim of these attacks :?
Are there not many other women NAV
ing positions and receiving, salaries
from national, state or business admin
istrations? Has any one protested be-
cause a married woman had position
in a government office or in a tele-
phone, telegraph or railroad admin
istration? No, we have not heard of it,
nor of attacks against married women
help, or farm and factory women
laborers.
So, is 10 not monumental piece Of
hypocrisy to say that q woman Is not
qualified to be a teacher from the fact
that she is a married woman and
mother? T.. GRAP1N.

SERVIAN RELIEF FUND
American Contributions for the Ser
Wan Red Cross.

To the Editor Of The Tribune.
Sir: A committee of Servlans and
American friends Of Servia and Mon
enegro-including Mr.. NICOLA Tesla
and other prominent SerbsLhas been
formed to collect funds, which will be
forwarded to the Servlan National
Bank at Nish, Belgrade or Cettinie, to
the account Of the Servian Red Cross,
for hospital purposes and for the re
lief of the widows and orphans OF
Servian and Montenegrin soldiers. This
committee will be grateful If The Trib-
une will receive contributions to this
fund and hand them to Messrs. j. p
Morgan & Co., who will attend to the
forwarding of them to the Servian Ma
tional Bank; and If il will also ac-
knowledge in published lists all
amounts given and the names of the
givers. Checks or money orders should
be made payable to the Friends OF

Any contributions which Sorvian and
other SlavOnc societies or individuals
in any state may thus send will be for
warded to Servia or Montenegro, to be
Joined to this fund. Such contributions
may be designated for any particular
village or district and will be so indi-
Gated in the transmission.
The wounds received by the Servians
in the recent Balkan wars, in which
they liberated the old Servian lands OF
Macedonia from the Turks, had scarcely
time to heal when they were again
forced to shoulder the gun in defence
Of their country against a powerful in
vader. Even with the daily accounts in
the press of what is happening in Eu-
rope, Americans are as yet hardly able
TO form any adequate idea of the unbe-
lievable horror that has overtaken man
kind. would ask my American COM
patriots to remember in their prayers
these wrecked Servian Gresides, and
stretch out to them, too, as they are
doing to others, and still will do SO
generously, the helpful hand OF Ameri-
can sympathy.

THE REPUBLICAN WAGON
The Fate of Him Who Leaps Over the
Dashboard.

To the Editor of The Tribune.
Sir: In reading the letter of &C. +.
Sellout" in this mornings issue of
your paper, | am led to wonder what
his selling out" price was.
Take his second paragraph--"For in
stance, Governor Glynn, who has al
ways been anti-Tammany, has turned
the tables on his opponent by point
ing out the Murphy-Whitman alliance
of last year"
viii &C. F. Sellout" point out how
Governor Glynn has always been anti
Tammany? Was Governor Glynn anti
Tammany during the Sulzer impeach-
ment trial? Is Governor Glynn anti
Tammany when he permits the Work
mems Compensation Commission to
have the business end of il IN New
York City instead of at Albany, where
it belongs?
Now turn to paragraph four Of the
"Sellout" communication: w fancy |
hear some mossback say, We don't
want him back But you will after
election. The voters want no MUIR
phyized Republicans"
Two truths are embodied in that
paragraph. We don't want him back
the him" referring to Theodore
hOOStNtlls Inc IEORfeSSlVeS are tlr-
ing Of him. and surely what Is not good
enough for the Progressives is not
wanted by the Republicans.
If you jump over the dashboard, you
must crawl in over the tailboard' AZ.
however, you are unable to crawl in
over the tailboard, the only thing to
do is to attempt to smash the wagon
to pieces.
Is "Sellout" sorry that Whitman
sent the "gunmen" TO the chair
Would he prefer to have them at large
in New York City to-day? Does he
want Becker reinstated in the Police
Department?
A little less cursory reading and some
more thinking will not hurt any of the
critics of the. man whom ali crooks
fear. and who, If honesty, integrity
and fearlessness mean anything to the
people, Will be the next Governor of
New York Subsidiaries S. Whitman

tative in the Board of Aldermen and

WHERE CHARITY BEGINS
A Reader Thinks Some Pity Should Be
Reserved for Our Own Sufferers.

To the Editor of The Tribune.
Sir: While | do not believe in char
lty ending at home, | certainly believe
in its beginning there. Numerous COM
mlttees are now soliciting money from
this country to be sent to aid the vic
Tins of the nations at war in Europe.
These contributions are amounting to
millions of dollars. And all the time
IN our horror and pity we forget tive
things. First, that so long rs these ma
lions obstinately continue this stupid
quarrel with each other, just so long
they are making thousands of victims
daily, destroying homes, annihilating
commerce, and that all we can do Is
only like water poured into a vessel
with hole in the bottom. Let these
nations stop killing and destroying, and
then America will come forward with
the aid which she has never denied a
stricken or suffering nation.
Secondly, let US remember that the
sutferings of our own working classes
VIII be greatly increased this winter
through no fault of their own. Fac,
tories have shut down from want Of
proper material, and despair and pow
erty confront vast class In our very
midat. We are generous people. We
have never been known to withhold the
helping hand, but it seems to me to be
exceeding good taste to call upon our
help while they are continuing to ere
ate the need for it. Let them stop
butchering and laying waste first, and
then come TO US for help TO sueeor
and to save. In the meantime let US
organize committees to take care of
and watch over our working people,
district by district, who are thrown out
ton Of trade by these same warning
nations who have appealed for help.
