closed.

The development of the submarine is 1olo"'nE
the lines of battleship development ana 'he en-"
is not vet. 1t is good news that our naval de-
siqners have laid down plans for craft that are
twice the size of our largest existing boats Inc
results in service and effectiveness promise to be
revolutionary These new boats, 300 feet in
length. are to have cruising radius OF 3'ooo
miles and a speed of twenty knots. Ihey couiu

with fleet of batteships. Also, they Will carry
q really formidable battery capable of attending
10 anv merchantmen or converted liners without
recourse to torpedOes.
Both Germany and Great Britain are probably
keeping pace with this development, though a
vast amount of secrecy has surrounded recent
submarine construction. The achievements Of the
German submarines in waters far from their
base prove that the old notion of q submarine as
a harbor craft, good only for defence, has been
left far behind. Whether the extreme views OF
Sir Percy Scott are shown by the war to be right
or not, the Importance of the submarine cannot
be gainsaid, and its development in size and ef-
fciency offers the greatest opportunity of the
hour for naval designers.
This country was the pioneer in submarine in
venton through the genius of Holland, as 1t was
the pioneer in the air through the genius Of the
Wrights. 1t is greatly to be hoped that Congress
will grant liberal appropriations for both of these
vtally important branches Of national offence
and defence. Ample funds and constant effort
are needed to prevent the United States from
falling to the rear in this contest of ingenuity
and skill, in which it once led the world.

Our New Business Diplomats.

For the i've business men of America with
ambition and ability proportionate to the task,
there is good news, with the certainty Of vaua-
bic help in the appointment of commercial at
taches to be dispatched to foreign countries to
assist in the development of our export trade.
The Chamber of Commerce of the United States
has labored hard for this stroke and deserves full
credit for its accomplishment. The men selected
by Secretary Redield for South American posts
are an excellent promise Of the efficient aid which
these business diplomats can give our manufact-
urerS.
it will remain for American traders to do
their share. Apples never fell into anybody's lap
for the wishing, and the particular apples now
in question will require a deal Of searching and
shaking. In the searching governmental agents
can give much help. The discovery of new mar
kets and unexplored opportunities for American
trade will be the special duty of these new at
taches. After this preliminary work, however,
the real test will follow The government can
blaze the trail, but only good, hard manufacture
ing ability and the best of business imagination
can beat out rival nations and bring home the
long awaited prize

A PLEA FOR FAIRNESS
Blind Anger Should Not Control Our
Attitude Toward Germany.

To the Editor Of The Tribune.
Sir: The Allies arc fighting Ger
many, justly, so l maintain, but they
should concede their foe some recog-
milton Of their undoubted bravery.
Anglo-Saxons have ever championed
courage. Do they expect Germany at
this stage 70 lay down her arms and
gently murmur: 81 am through. DO
with me as you will"? Could they
possibly expect her to retire in igno-
minious cowardice after her many
boasts? Why is every move made by
the Germans decried as an act of van
dalism, deed Of barbarians? War
is not d kid glove affair, and the his
tory of wars shows that outrages have
been committed by individuals, even
regiments, of ali nations, whilst at
war. Even as recently as the last Boer
war episodes occurred OF which neil
Their the British people nor the Brit
ish army could feel justly proud.
Some of US may have ancestors who
came over on the Mayhower, and,
naturally. their sympathles would 90

found il convenient to forget George
Washington and his titanic struggles
Tor deliverance from the British yoke.
Others. however, good Americans, too,
had their ancestors in the Fatherland,
ard are attached to the country OF
their forefGthers, while yet others,
English, perhaps, in nearer sense
than the descendants OF the Pilgrims,
have spent some time on German soil,
have received their final education,
their "kultur," now so despica0ly ridl-
culed, at one of the great German uni
versities.
Let those who dwell here, citizens
and aliens alike, at least consider the
pros and cons. People with blind,
unreasonable anger against a nation
should go to that nations foe, ofer
their services and do their talking,

Why Not Use Jamaica Bay ?

In another section of to-days Tribune is set
forth a striking example of the disregard of
natural advantages and obvious opportunities
which, unfortunately, handicaps this city and
holds it behind cities Of far less potentiaity.
This happens to be the question of harbor devel-
opment, and the specific case is the Jamaica Bay
improvement, virtually shelved since 1911, al
though plans are made and there is money TO 90
ahead with the work.
New York City, with one of the finest harbors
in the world, has done little more than the
merest superficial things to take advantage Of it.
Up to a few years ago there was no thought of
harbor development for the future. Even now
the thoughts are pretty vague and fragmentary,
although the Hudson River, seized on by COM
merce in the natural following Of the line of least
resistance, is now crowded that business CON

pier and terminal facilities go outside this city
to get them.
All this time there is at hand and awaiting
real development Jamaica Bay, capable OF fur-
nishng 100 miles Of piers, having along its shore
line huge tracts of land suitable for waterfront
manufacturing sites, and with splendid railroad
facilities from two railroads. The federal gov
eminent has approved the development plan,
which includes dredging channels and deepening
tho basin-the main channel has already been
deepcncd part of the distance. The State OF New
York has conveyed TO the city its title to lands
and rights necessary to the Improvement The
city itself has made a large appropriation, most
Of which is unspent. But the work lngs.
While business is going from this city to other
states it is shortsightedness almost criminal to
lot this condition of affairs continue. Rich in its
natural resources, this city only hope to
main rich in commerce and trade If it utilzes
these resources wisely. Its present course is not
wise.

THAT REVISED CREED
Ethical and Theological Platforms
Should Bear Some Relation.

To the Editor Of The Tribune.
Sir: | hope the letter Of "Harring-
ton" in to-day's Tribune viii strike
the eye of those high in Church coUn-
ellis. There are many of US who will
be glad to see a paragraph added TO
the creed recited in all Christian
churches, for mentally we tack IT on
already. We realize that IN the creed
at present recited We give voice only
TO half, and probably the smaller half,
of our convictions: our theological
platform, not our ethical platform.
As Professor Peabody, Of Harvard,
points out, the creed, supposed 20 eN-
press the essence OF Christian faith, IS
one which one might utter in entire
sincerity without committing himself
to personal holiness or ethical de-
cision." Yet it is the ethical side,
Christ's law Of love, that is the es-
sence OF Christianity. Oh, viii not
our creed makers include IL In our
creed for us? Lest we forget
I should go one step further than
Harrington and say, put a there
fore between the paragraphs, the
theological beliefs and the ethical
ones. to show that one must issue
from the other. believe in God, the
Father Almighty. and in Jesus Christ,

SUFFRAGE EAST AND WEST
Free Western Womanhood and Limited Eastern
Womanhood ARE Called Impossible.

To the Editor Of The Tribune.
Sir: Mrs Dodges recent statement apropos of tho
loss Of Of the Western states. that people
were beginning to wake up" regarding the evils Of
suffrage, Is, unfortunately. true in all but
respect-that is, the evil" People are I'M
doubtedly waking up. but must. in all justice to
the race, be honest with facts
Outside the men and women Of respectability who
frankly anti" every evil and menacing element

liquor trust the factory mine magnate where
children and women employed are not wildly
seeking the good of the when they seek 10 de-
feat woman suffrage. There must, then, be some
thing besides evil in woman's Acknowledgement or
evil would not battle against it.
Unless the "antis" get the suffrage away from
the Western states they cannot keep il from the
Eastern states. They only retard progress. A
free Western womanhood and limited Eastern wom-
anhood would De impossible in the final analysis

At this stage Of civilization il is pitiful and
.ragic sight to pitted against woman;
some women struggling for emancipation in
order to help men solve the problems that concern
them both equally and other women playing into the
hands of unworthy men and thus betrayng their
own
1t seems TO me that the "ants" in order to save
their faith, must take OF two courses. Either
they must the time they devoting to
fighting a straw TO preparing themselves for
good citizenship or they must convince the good and

THE PRESIDENT AND CONFIDENCE
Why the Business Men Of the Country
Continue Discouraged and Depressed.

To the Editor of The Tribune.
Sir: Mr.. Wilson has just declared
publicly that "the only thing lacking in
the present business situation was con-
iidence." Perhaps ne will explain to
US what reason for confidence the bust
ness community has mad since his ac-
cession to power. Three times the SOW
ereign people of the United States re-
iected Bryan for President because Of
his financial unsoundness and because
il was recognized that if his financial
principles were carried out il would
spell disaster 70 the country. No sooner
had Wilson been raised 20 the Presi-
dency than he gave Bryan the highest
Office in his power to bestow. The
man who considers that the way in
which this Office has been filled during
the last eighteen months affords
grounds for confidence in Democratic
statesmen must have sadly deteriorated
from American ideals.
Whether il is the deliberate purpose
Of the Commerce Commission TO play
into the hands OF socialists by starv-
ing the railways to such an extent that
the government will have a valid eX-
cuse to forestall bankruptcy by acquir-
ing them cheaply is Of 10 consequence.
Men are not concerned with motives,
but results, and, 50 long as the radicals
retain Office. 10 trust IN the safety Of
American investments is not to exhibit
confidence but to invite disaster.
At about the time the President as
sumed Office he stated publicly, speak
ing Of the country in general, that the
banks had already been shown to be
guilty. The original, unamended cur
roncy bill-indorsed, be il remembered,
by the President-was so contrary to
the principles Of sound finance that the
dread of its passage by Congress forced
down the price of United States bonds
10 a figure unprecedentedly low. The
Democratic Secretary of the Treasury
at once accused New York bankers OF
"conspiring against the government"
Of this accusation there was not a
scntilla of proof, and he deliberately
refused to furnish any when il was
endeavored 70 force him 20 do so. The
banks guilty" in the eyes Of the Pres
ident, bankers "conspiring against the
United States in the eyes Of one of
the most important members of the
Cabinet bankers are called upon
20 have confidence" in the financial
situation, which is dominated by the
Democrats
A Democratic Vice-President has
told us that men have no right TO be-
queath their property 10 their families
the power to do so was bestowed by
the community and may be withdrawn
at their discretion. But the New Free
dom deals with to-day and not to-mor-
row. and warns the people of the
United States that corporations now
do business Eat the sufrerance of the
public"
The last few years have shown how
perilously easy it is for clever dema-
gogues to deprive Americans of their
liberties, but 20 give or withhold con-
tidence is still within their power. I,
only then. JUNIUS.

TO OUR DEAD.
BY EDMUND GossH.


The fame OF summer droops and fades and closes,
While autumn thins the embers Of the copse,
And ever more the violent life Of roses
Grows keener ms the roseate foliage drops;
strong young hearts within whose veins was leap.
Ing
Love like fount hate Ike dart shot high.
Ny heart DER yours, It's dolorous vigil keeping
Is pierced with sorrow, while in JOY you diet
Your ashes DER the fats Of France are scattered,
But hold fire more hot than flesh Of ours;
The stainless flag that hutters frayed and tattered
Shall and wave, like springs immortal
flowers.
You die, but in your death life CLOVIS intenser;
You shall not know the shame OF growing old;
In endless JOY you wave the holy censor,
And blow the trumpet tho your lips are cold
Life was to mist Of limitations;
Death is a fash that shows US where we trod;
You, falling nObly for the righteous nations,
Reveal the unknown. the unhoped-for face OF God
After long toll your labors shall not perish
Through grateful generations yet to come
Your ardent gesture. dying. Love shall cherish,
And like a beacon you shall guide US home

STILL THANKFUL
Why the Name Of Woodrow Wilson
Receives One Readers Applause.

To the Editor Of The Tribune.
Sir: The election is over and Mr..
Whitman has triumphed gloriously,
but it is amusing to hear all the wise
acres and 81 told you sos" coming out
and laying Mr.. G!ynn's defeat to Mr..
Wilson's plea TO the voters in behalf
of Messrs. Glynn and Gerard. Don't
forget, MIR. Mitchell did practically the
same thing. II this is the sole cause,
it certainly lacked convincing confrma-
ton in the case of Mr.. Gerard, who
ran considerably ahead of Mr. Glynn.
Let's not be hoodwinked. The main
contributory causes were the inteven-
ton of the Rough Rider in his laugh
able efforts TO further disrupt the
party which made him, together with
the timeworn policy of Tammany of
cutting the head Of their ticket in
gubernatorial elections, for reasons
best known TO Mr.. Murphy ct al, which
tip must have slipped out on Election
Eve. considering the sharp turn in the
betting at the eleventh hour. II Mr..
Wilson is TO blame for every modern
upheaval, political or otherwise, why
not LAY Off" the Kaiser for a while
and charge Mr.. Wilson with response
bility for the European war now
raging? Surely, this conclusion would
contain just as much sound logic.
Thank God for Wilson" rings with

statement from Colonel W. +. Gordon,
V. c., colonel Of the Gordon Highland

did not write that letter, that his name

cry We will leave il to Colonel Cor
don. When he no longer is in a Ger
man fortress, but free 20 protect him

! will send the German Ambassador the

temptible advantage of a prisoner, the

THAT WILSON TRIUMPH"
One of the Presidents Warmest Supporters Can
See No Trace Of 1t.
rom The New York Times.

From The New York Times.
But It is futile, it Is almost wicked to attempt 20
persuade the Democratic party that it has not re-
ceived stern warning. The country has taken note
of the shameless extravaganza Of the Democrats
who, forgetting their preaching and their professions
about economy, have shovelled out the Treasury
funds so lavishly that taxes have been levied,
that might have been spared TO the people but
for the wastefulne5s Of Congress The country no
longer demands that every day q corporation shall be
tortured at thu stake for its delectation Business has
been demoralized and industry impoverished by too
long indulgence in that pastime. and the people no
longer have a taste for it, Quite the contrary But
Congress has fashioned new letters for business,
and its talk has been much worse than its acts
that Tuesdays vote would have been one of want Of
confidence but for the partys great majority in the
House, due TO the accidents of 1912.
The Democratic party IS not yet on its good be-
havor 1t will learn the lesson of correct be-
hayor if its foolish apooGiss persist in their effort
to prove that the vote cast on Tuesday was one of
comprehensive sanction and approval Deluded by
these excavations Of adversely, the Democracy may
make such laundering and ktal use of its respite
that the year 1915 will cast it out altogether.
