The Army-Navy Football Game

To THE EDITOR OF THE Sus-Sir' Although
few persons actually believed that there
would be no Army Navy football game this
year, II was reassuring 10 learn definitely
that the football teams Of Uncle Sans two
training schools will meet this year on the
gridiron In their annual tussle.
Tho announcement that tho two teams
will meet in Philadelphia has relieved numer-
Gus anxious persons who annually attend
this game. the most spectacular OF the sea-
son. However. though large number were
relieved by the good news, the entire country
was elated to hear that tho two institutions
had patched up their differences regarding
the location OF the playing feld and they
would meet again as in former years.
In view Of the excellent manner in which
tho Army-Navy game was run on ut the
Polo Grounds last year, New Workers. no
doubt feel disappointed at losing tho game
this year Those who attended last years
game at the Polo Grounds and who have
attended Army-Navy games at Philadelphia
the most suitable place for the annual classic.
The accommodations are adequate
However, It is encouraging to know that
the Army will select this city In 1918, In
view OF this New Workers should down thor
pride and be patient, Isn't It better TO have
tho game played somewhere this year than
not TO have u game anywhere7 Surely no
one who becomes enthusiastic over the
Army Navy game would wish TO have It
abolished just because the Navy would not
accept New York as the city In which IA
stage II. It's long trip for tho Middie'
and sentiment In this city IL bound TO favor
the Army over the Navy REFEREE.

The division of the jury in the Car

The division OF the jury in the Car
man murder trial falls in with public
expectation. While there is probably a
strong prevailing opinion rs to the
merits OF the case. 1t is generally recoS-
nized that each side succeeded in pro-
ducing sufficient evidence TO cast tason-
able doubt upon the proofs of the other.
The fact is the affair was bunglcd by
the police officials at the outset A
radical hunt for evidence was begun
too late. The scent was cold and the
opportunity lost before any energetic or
intelligent work was done As result
the confusion OF fact, near fact and
fiction is so great that even n verdict
by jury. whatever 1t may be on re-
trial, will fail to convince the public
mind. 1t Is weak spot in our criminal
system that in cases outside the me-
tropolis initial investigation Is gem
orally In the hands of men whose work
Is little better than amAteurish. Shock
ing crimes constantly go unpublished,
and on the other hand innocent persons
are often subjected TO gross wrong.

English War songs"

There has been much sage prognostl-
cation Of the great literary movement,
the new Periclean harvest of art and
song. to be begotten by he war. 1t be-
gins nobly, at least In England. Its
a Long Way to Tipperary" Is the prime
war classic at present, masterpiece by
the side of the soldiers songs printed
In the London Times, apparently from
an old Elton master; ut any rate. the
author OF the Elton song Carmen Eton-
ense." This TyrtTus or K0rner may
walk in becoming and even stately
manner on Latin feet. but his attempts
at marching songs for TOMMY are one
Of the "horrors of war" For example,
to the tune of Here's to the Maiden:
'Here's to Lord KITCHENER, brown with
the sun.
Gentle, persuasive and balmy,
Giving his orders and getting them done
All that he wants for the army"
Gentle Lord KITCHENER. balmy Lord
KITCHENER! How he would love to
have that poet" shot:
March, boys. march along the road to
Berlin.
Singing and cheering and seeking all
the way
A wildcat. whose mustaches want uncurl-
ing.
A man-eating tiger, brought at last to
bay"
Cheer. Boys, Cheer but how can
they cheer that wildcat verse? Surely
this martial minstrel is a schoolmaster.
Nobody but professor could be so
ferocious and absurd.
We won't quote any more from the
Etonian muse. lest our readers should
want to shoot us Just line or two
from RUDYARD before he took the en-
pire and the world on his shoulders
Then we loosed a bloomn' volley
An we made tho beggars cut,
An when the pouch was emptcd out
We gave the bloom!n butt
Mr.. KILLING should save TOMMY from
the schoolmasters.

Age OF Generals.

To THE EDITOR OF THE SuN-Str: His
tory shows that successful Generals have
been Young men as well as old men. II
should not be forgotten that Hannibal
was. SOME authorities say. under 81
wears OF age when he performed the
marvellous feat OF crossing the Alps and
successfully invaded Gaul and nfterward
Italy. For fifteen years he maintained
himself in Italy. destroying army after
army sent against him II was only after
he taught the Romans strategy that they
were able to defeat him
All OF our successful Generals in tho
civil war were comparatively young men
Grant was under 40 years of age when
the war began, Sherman was little over
40 Sheridan was about 80 and Custer was
about % years ~ age.
General Robert II. Lee OF the Confed-
crate army was the only man OF ad-
vanccd years who distinguished himself
during this war Stonewall Jackson was
only 81 years OF age at the outbreak OF

vouchsafed that the return of gold to

vouchsafed that the return Of gold to
this country would not be impeded II
Is quite likely that our unprecedented
gold exports for the year would be read
lily enlarged even beyond the limits OF
present provision.
No particular generosity on the part
of British finance would be implied by
agreements to extend American indebt
edness and avoid such pressure for
payment as would call for continuously
heavy gold exports from this side. A
creditor merely evinces intelligent busi-
ness sense when he comedies such terms
Of payment as will permit solvent
debtor and good customer to keep going
London as banker has no such solvent
debtor and good customer anywhere as
American business, and II Is rather
gratifying to note that the tenor OF
Washington dispatches relative to the
conversations of Sir GEORGE rAIsH and
Mr.. BLACKETT has changed In the last
few days.
Stress is no longer laid on the pay
ment of our obligations In gold IL other
arrangements are possible. That they
are clearly possible Is shown by the
attention given to the matter Of moving
large quantity of cotton into British
ownership, and It is fairly safe con-
lecture that before sir GEORGE and Mr..

The Pride Of New York

The building Of New York has con

milton to-day. Not all that time has

slowed will endure, even through the
corrections and notifications our sue
cessors will accomplish,
We have pride in New York, and that
will i've not the parochlal pride that
conceiyes a dependent nation attached
to our metropolitan boundaries, but n
national pride that questions with Sc

Indeed, that pride seeks out Imperfect

and seeks not to hide, but to find
remedies for them.
In a thousand ways the pride OF New
York responds 10 the promptlngs Of the
City's Obligations. II spurs on every
effort for change in methods that
gives promise OF lettering conditions.

improvement. II contributes, and with
greatest pleasure, to the scrap pile. II
suspects a. once any fruit OF endeavor
that boasts It cannot be bettered; the
man who says my work Is perfected

This Is the pride OF New York, the
architect of the ci;y's greatness, the

lens. So long as it persists we shall
advance: when It falls into mere torpid
