Mr.. Barnes's Retirement.

State Chairman Barnes's announced retirement
from the Republican State Committee and It's
chsirmanship-unless the Republican nominee for
Governor request him to run the campaign
comes late. He may or may not have been re-
sponsible for the death Of Rooseveltism, as ne
fancies. He has nearly been responsible for the
death of the Republican party in this state His
retirement now cannot take the Barnes issue out
of the primaries, or, unfortunately, out OF the
campaign.
The way to do ethat Is to take the state COM
mittee itself out Of the Barnes influence and to
nominate a candidate for Governor who never
was under the Barnes influence That means FOR
the Republican voters at the primaries to elect a
state committee made up Of progressive or anti
Barnes Republicans which will put at its head a
chairman of modern ideas and political policies
and nominate Mr.. Human, who is making his
campaign on a pledge to root Barnesism out OF
the party Unless tie voters OF the party thus
declare themselves on the Barnes issue on Sep
tember o. it will still remain to plague the party
on Election Day. in spbs-at Mr. Barnes's clever
withdrawal now.

Government Owned Ships to South
America.

The i'll considered administration scheme OF gov
eminent owned merchant ships is brought down to
reasonable proportions in the substitute proposed
bv the House Committee on Naval Affairs. No
new machinery would be required to carry out the
House plan The Panama Railroad Company,
government concern, would be authorized to oper-
ate vessels to South America. This would avoid
the dangers and complications inherent in the
Wilson proposal, under which government line to
Europe might have been started
The House proposal would provide ships where
they are most needed not where they are least
needed for the real obstacle to the transfer Of
goods between here and Europe is not lack Of ships
SO much as the breakdown of foreign exchange.
But to the transfer of goods between here and
South America, especially between here and the west
coast of South America, the obstacle is the lack OF
a regular shipping service Private enterprise
ought long ago to have been encouraged by a sys-
ten of subsidies to supply means of communica-
ton with South America. TO subsidze lines thither
would even now be the best policy, but if the ad-
ministratiOn, in order to avoid the necessity Of
giving subsidies, is going in for a government owned
merchant marine, then it is best that it should do
80 on limited scale and where economic necessity
points the way.
Everybody wants to see an American merchant
marine, the product Of individual enterprise, once
more upon the seas; but let no one be mised into
thinking that government owned trading ships are
the beginning of an American merchant marine.
They are not. They are sign, so far as they are
sign Of anything that there is going to be no
American merchant marine They are notice to
the world that this country will do nothing to en-
courage private enterprise to supply a merchant
marine and that it will not moderate the laws
which make American shipping almost impossible.
Instead the government will enter into competi-
ton with possible private ship owners first making
the terms of operation arduOus for them and then
becoming a ship owner itself, under no conpulson
to make profits. If the restoration Of American
shipping is impossible and if trade is going to lie
in our ports uncarred then 1t is well for the gov
eminent to go into the ship owning business. But
until these things are proved it is well that the
experiment Of government ownership should be
limited to places where the need is greatest and
the prospect Of relief is slightest. The House
Naval Committee plan is good by contrast with the
Wilson plan. ~

The New Markets.

The opening Of the four free markets to-day Is
about all this city can do at present to check the
increase in food prices How far this scheme
will be successful in bringing relief will depend
entirely on the public itself. Not only farmers
and dealers in. vegetables and fruits but dealers
in groceries and other staples have sought market
space. There ought to be opportunity for pur'
chasers to obtain good part of their food supply
at these markets, therefore.
If these places of lowerpriced foodstufs are
widely patronized it is reasonable to suppose that
the stores and shops with which they compete will
reduce prices somewhat At any rate, those who
buy at the market rates will obtain whatever
advantage is obtainable. There is every argument
for liberal and regular patronage of these new in
situations.

War Overhead.

The picturesque encounters in the long heralded
"war in the air" have used up large stock or
adiectives, but have thus far spilled very little
blood The German lieutenant who is reported
TO have flown over Paris and dropped five bombs
gave typical performance. He dropped cry
Of surrender "Rnd that was about all.
The great obstacle in the way Of offensive Work
in sbe air is the danger of close approach to the
earth. That has always been the French theory
and thus far events have confirmed it. About
1000 metres or $3.50 feet is the altitude at which
the French aviators of the present war figure their
safety begins Bullets have reached a greater height
they report but have had little destructive force
At such a height the chance of dropping bombs
with any degree of accuracy is pretty slender
AS for battle between aeroplanes and Zeppe-
Inns that too, has failed to appear, despite eager
rumors at the beginning Of the war. If squad
ron of Zeppelinsg should fly over Paris and the
French aviators should live up to their protested
resolve there would, indeed, be a strange and ter
ribIe conflict. Whether the results counted greatly
or not in the general struggle the scene would be
worthy the pen of Mr.. II. G. Wells, who first
looked forward to that day.

already preparing to transfer the capital from
Paris to Bordeaux. Such move would be only a
prudent recognition Of military necessities In the
last war with Germany similar transfer was
made, but 1t was made only after the national de-
fence had collapsed Now the national defence Is
stlll intact. The crucial test Of It's worth is yet
to come When the first rush of the German on
slaught is over the allies with ample reinforce
ments to draw on, can settle down determinedly
to long and bitter contest in economic and mill
tary endurance.

Mr.. HUDSON MAxIMS PROPHECY
Germany Will Be Blocked in France
by Russia's Invasion in the East.

I
To the Editor of The Tribune.
| Sir: | desire to correct an erroneous
public impression that has been created
by statement attributed to me, which
has appeared in several New York
papers and in many other papers, to
the effect that had expressed it as my
opinion that Germany would without
doubt ultimately win in the present
European war.
Although Germany's apparently in
vincible advance at the present writing
might give to such opinion some air of
foresight, still did not make any such
statement
! What / did say was that Germany
is facing such a mighty allied force that
it looks bad for Germany; but | said it
must be remembered that great cam
paigns have never been decided by
mere preponderance in size of armies,
! but by the preponderance of force
brought to bear on a strategic point in
the line of battle, and that Germany's
steam roller advance through Belgium
into France indicates that Germany
will give a good account of herself, and
that she will very likely soon even IN
| timber her thundeFs upon the fortifica-
tons of Paris. However. | did not say,
and / do not believe, that Paris will
fall, for before that can happen it is
my belief that the Russians, who are
hammering at the German rear, will
call back enough Of the Kaiser's force
from France to enable the allies to get
together in such numbers as to block
Germany in France.
Great Britain realizes that she is in
/ l. A r 4 4
all her colonies will come generously
to her support, and England will lit
tie later, when this war is over, need
all her military power in the coming
struggle, in union with what may be
left of the power Of France and Ger
many, to persuade the Russian horde
to return 10 It's northern isolation.

The Tribune's Cartoons.
Editnr of NM Trihnne.

To the Editor of The Tribune.
Sir: What constitutes true art? Is
it not, in the final analysis, the ade-
quate and truthful Interpretation of
life in any of its manifold aspects :?
Judged by this standard, your cartoons
illustrative of, the European war are
art in the highest sense. Your artist
has caught the fundamental principles
involved and depicted them heroically.
He has not been deceived by the deluge
of bunk" unloaded upon US in terms
such as "Slav versus Teuton," ct cetera,
ad nauseam. His keen dscernment re-
jects Pan -Slavism and Pan-Germanism
as the issues involved. Not these but
civilization is in peril. That his vision
is keen for the truth is admirably IL
Illustrated in his scathing caricature
of the Cars appeal to Poland, and not
less so in his cartoon of the Kaiser's
Wanted trust in God and my sword"
In these two instances the pencil is
not less eloquent than the pen at its
best. STANlSLAW ADAMSkl.

To the Editor of The Tribune.
Sir: In to-day's newspapers appear
accounts of the renewed dropping OF
bombs by the Germans on the sleeping
women and children of Antwerp, and
the statement of the Imperial Chancel-
lor of Germany to the Reichstag; Ne
cessity knows no law. Anyone who Is
lighting can have only one thought
how he Is to hack his way through"
And also in to-day's newspapers APP
pears a dispatch from London telling
OF the sinking in open fight of two Ger

rlssrI 70 British port of British
cruiser with nine German officers and
eighty-one prisoners, and this official
statement from the British Admiralty:
There is reason to hope this is not
a complete list of the survivors from
the German ships, but other lives have

Great Britain in the hour of her tri-
umph hopes that the lives of her foes
have been saved; Germany in the lust
of success Stays the innocent and the
defenceless. Is any further comment

AUGUST FATAL TO BABIES
Death Rate Jumps to CT in
1.000-Hot Weather Cause.

A report from the Board Of Health
Yesterday showed that the mortality Of
infants under one year of age from
summer diseases during the month Of
August had increased considerably over
that OF 1913, Notwithstanding efforts
made by official and social workers
toward a continuance Of the decreased
mortality at this age that has prevailed
during the month of July
During August, 1913, the mortality
averaged so out of every 1000 babies
born, while the average jumped to 81
this month. The extremely high tenn
perature of the fortnight previous TO
last week had considerable to do with
the increased mortality, according to
health authorities.

How About the Losses ?

ITO the Editor of The Tribune.
Sir: The unerring accuracy with
which the British and French War Of
fees report the German losses is really
astonishing. But why this mysterious
silence as to British and French losses
Surely these losses also must have been
very great, for / cannot believe that
the French and English ran away with
out putting up a stiff fight. But If
their losses were really as small as re-
ported one is forced to the conclusion
that the allies retreated without max
ing the desperate resistance which we
all expected from them.
