CHILDREN AND THE WAR
The Shades of Martha Washington
and Molly Pitcher Are Invoked.

To the Editor of The Tribune.
Sir: In your issue of October % on
the Woman's Page, under the head Of
Children and the War" the article,
evidently written by a woman Of either
sex, endeaVOrs to inculcate the inn
portance Of discouraging the martial
spirit, and she says that children
should be impressed with the impor-
lance of holding it WAR in reserve for
the most serious tasks of humanity
Shades OF Martha Washington. Molly
Pitcher and the mothers of '76! Is
patriotism becoming a lost virtue? Are
we breeding and do our women OF
both sexes desire to raise race OF
weaklings and effeminates? What
would have happened in me early days
of our struggle for liberty and indie
pendence if this doctrine had been
taught by our forefathers? And are
We sure that we may not have to re-
peat that struggle? II IS true we
should hate and dread war as such,
and children should be taught the
tremendous destructiveness of war"
but if we are to be ready TO "hold it
in reserve for the most serious tasks
of humanity" we must-so far from
depreciating the necessity and inn
portance of martial spirit-encour-
age the willingness to endure sacrifice
and hardship, and inculcate those les
sons taken from our own history
which show the honorableness and i'm
Fortance of loyalty and military ser
vice where that service is in further
ance of righteous ends or self-defence.
Do these writers believe that a war
Of self-defence is unjustitiable or un-
righteous or impossible? IL not, then
must we be prepared, If need be, to
wage such war, and to wage such a
war successfully the character of the
coming citizen should be strengthened
and his willingness to sacrifice for
such a cause encouraged; otherwise the
future history of this country may be
written with that of Luxembourg or
China. JOHN w. LOVELAND.

A Rrief but Welcome Rest.

Congress had to have its mileage ana the OILY
Usv il could get the mileage was by an adjourn
ment. Hence the suddenness with when 'na' pa
trtot Mr.. Henry, of Texas, thrust bis hand In ms
bosom and called of the fllibuster Mr. wilson ulu
NOT even have to frown. So simply was the call oil
home and the pocketbook obeyed
rather pathetic occasion, We find it Mr. Henry
in his farewell announced the tidings that Congress
would be called in extraordinary session by the
middle Of November. Whether accurate or not the
report can scarcely add any gloom to the occupa-
tIon Of being Democratic Congressman. Him the
New Freedom has approached only to create new
bondage Under Mr.. Wilson's rule he has ceased TO
be an independent home loving citizen of soyer
eign state He sits in Washington the year round
a humble rubber stamp upon the Executive desk
Questions, thoughts, opinions, the folks at home
are not for him. OF all his former proud para
phernalis Of Office only his mileage is left No
wonder he has just snatched at that with the
eagerness Of despair!

THE SENTIMENT OF COUNTY CORK
Still with the Empire and Still Pos
sesses Common Sense.
To tic Editor Of The Tribune.


Sir: May I herewith heartily in
dorse the sentiments Of your CORE
epondent. County Cork" in yesterday
mornings paper? | have just returned
from a five months sojourn in Mallow,
County Cork. and am happy to say
that the prevailing sentiment in Ire
land is that to defend Ireland in the
present war is best accomplished by
defending the empire. Practically
every man ! knew of q suitable age
offered his services to his country, and
many are already at the front. Even
the more ignorant in Ireland realize
that il is the British feet that has kept
their land from invasion, and all have
shuddered az the treatment of Bel
GUM.
That there should be persons in the
United States who believe in the com
plete separation of Ireland from Eng
land is to me incOnceivable. Wha;
would become Of ireland as an indie
pendent nation? She would be seized
by the first foreign power which chose
TO take her. Irish-Americans surely
must believe in united states, and ]
cannot understand how they can wish
the British Empire dismembered. Fifty
years ago there was a great civil war
to prevent such a dismemberment o.
our own country. Self-government
does not imply lack of cooperation
against common enemy.
am also sstounded that any Irish
American can believe that Irisbmen
can best defend their country bv wait
ing until it is attacked, instead of CO.
operating with the French, Belgians
and British on the Continent. This is
like saying that the best way to defend
the United States in case of attack I,
for all state troops to stay in their re-
speetlye states until these states are
actually invaded.
The present war has at least had the
advantage OF separating those who be-
lieve in the entire separation Of Irc-
land and Great Britain from the real
Irish Nationalists. The result Of sncb
division shows that most of the Irish
still possess common sense.

THE FATE OF TAMMANY
Soup Kitchens and the Dreams Of Mr..
Murphy.

To the Editor Of The Tribune.
Sir: Now that all the political hoop
jumpers, whose principles are as fragile
as the It's re paper inclosinG the hoops,
have spoken. written letters, etc, 1t is
quite manifest that an extraordinary
deal has been made in secret between
the Capitol at Washington. the state
House at Albany and the City Hall IN
manhattan. / now consider it my duty
to leave my party in this gubernatorlai
campaign 20 smash such undemocratic
tactics for the first time, after voting
for every Democratic candidate for
Governor from Cleveland to Sulzer:
recall that after the Mckinley
tariff law WAS written on the statutes
cf the United States representatives OF
the Botary Worsted Mills, Messrs.
Kick and Lang, then located IN Ger
many, Europe, appeared in New YORK
purchased a large tract OF land IN the
citv of Passaic and began building
great factories. 1 will always recall
their words. viz: when the Mckinley
law was enacted in your country we
could do one of two things close our
factories in Germany and retire from
business. or come over here and Degln
business anew. We chose the latter
course
That plant. on account Of the
genius Of a Mckinley and the marked
business ability of a Hanna, now oe-
cupies hundreds Of acres Of buildings
and has furnished employment for
many thousands Of employees for a
Period of almost a quarter OF d cen
turv 1t therefore follows that the
economic principles Of the Democratic
party on the tariff are wrong, and 1t has
taken the awful blight now descending
on Europe to demonstrate the fallaey
of Democratic tariffs. In other words,
if the Mckinley bill was the law Of
the land now we would be prosperous
and contented country, and the bales
of cotton that now adOrn hotel lobbles
and other places Of business, which is
free raw material with vengeance,
would be in our domestic factories be-
ing turned into finished products, and
/ doubt very much il there would be
soup kitchens in Buffalo and the un-
employed seeking our churches for
lodging houses in this end OF our state
since the present tariff law was en-
acted.
Let me revert to the official result of
special election held in the 9TH Con-
gressional District of New Jersey, the
city of Passaic being part OF same,
on April 7, 1914, and comparison with
the 1912 vote in that district follows:

Improper Political Activity.

The attempt Of the four police organizations
through their counsel, to sew up the next Legs
lature by series of questions on proposed police
legislation addressed to legislative candidates was
particularly impudent. It so patiently carried a
threat Of organized political activity that Mayor
Mtchels endeavors to nullify it quite justified
Policemen. iremen, school teachers and other
municipal employees retain the individual and politi
cal rights of ordinary citizens. But. being public
employees, they have not the right to combine to
affect the actions Of other public employees for their
benefit The lobbying and political activities of
school teachers, civil service employees and police
men have caused grave scandals more than once
1t is to be hoped the Mayors warning will keep
the police from coming any the scandal zone
this year.

Sir: Officer Dobbins, Of the 23d Pre-
cinct station, had this morning some
suffragists in the magistrates court on
East 9th ST., before Magistrate Har-
MS, on the charge of distributing liter
allure on the street. This is the sec
cnd time that Officer Dobb.ns has ar
rested these sutfragists, and an officer
IN the courtroom said that the suffra-
gusts were always found guilty in that
court.
This is the third year that / have
been an officer in political organiza-
ton that has had automobiles sent out
with speakers carrying literature
which they distributed on the streets.

Sir: For the information OF the
writer Of thu letter signed "Divlna

home where the works lin the original

D'Annunzio and Dante, but also Schll-

great German writers may be found.
Another home comes TO my mind where

works of Bach, Beethoven. Mozart,
Schumann, Chopin, List, Grieg and
other great masters.

The Executive Chamber Political Head
quarters.


The Tribune's Albany news tells Of the collapse
of an Executive Chamber stenographer While work
ing overtime in sending out campaign literature
for Governor Gynn. 1t seems that campaign
force Of almost two hundred girls besides the
regular employees has taken possession of various
rooms in the Capitol for the advancement of the
Governors canvass.
1t might interest the public to learn from the
Governor who is one Of the trustees OF public
buildings how these outsiders obtained permission
to use any part of a public building He has al
ready said that account was being kept Of tele-
phone and telegraph charges and that these would
be repaid to the state. Is the state also to he re-
imbursed for paper, typewriter service and en-
yeopes with the Executive Chamber" stamp, such
as contain most Of this campaign stuff? Is the
state to receive rent from the Governor or the
Democratic State Committee for the rooms used
by the campaign workers?
There is a singular looseness OF ideas on the part
OF the Governor in having his campaign conducted
from the states property under such conditions.
If it had not been so far overshadowed by more
scandalous things in the Democratic administra-
ton it might properly be called a scandal.

A Free Translation CT Belgium, National Anthem.


To the Editor Of The Tribune.
Sir: While all nations, foes as we'll as friends are
having tribute to the unsurpassed valor of the Bel
CLANS il seems opportune that should acquaint
ourselves with the national anthem Of that heroic
country Campenhout's music, sparkling, exultant
and defiant is perhaps pretty we'll known, though
not nearly as widely deserves to be, for its in
trinsic merits well for its historic and sen;i
mental associations But the words of the song
to be practically unknown, at any rate in a sngabe
version Jennevas original lines, which have only
historic interest, have been translated into stiff and
wooden English; but the later song, "Apres des
Siecles dEsclavage,' which is the real national
anthem, does not appear to have been translated in
eny form that be fitted to the music and sung
] have therefore ventured myself TO offer the APP
pended rendering, which | at least claim to be
q sufficiently accurate presentation of the sentiments
cf the original and also TO be fitted TO the rhythm Of
the music so that il can be sung. W. f. j.

10000 BOYS IN
ATHLETIC TOURNEY
Entries for Fourth of July Safe
and Sane Games Break
All Records.

Twenty thousand boys. perhaps
many more, will compete in the Fourth
of July safe and sane games. which
will be held on forty Fairgrounds in
the greater city. Since many of the
boys have entered in two events, the
total number of entries will undoubt-
eddy pass the $4,000 mark. This not
alone breaks all records for the safe
and sane games, but is the largest
number in the history OF athletics
throughout the world.
One of the causes for such keen in
terest is the fact that at the Panama
Pacific Exposition in San Francisco
next year there will be a set of games
for the representatives of the play
grounds, and the lads will try to win
places on the team which will repre-
sent this city.
One thousand officials of the ANA
teur Athletic Union will take charge
of the games. At the request of Jack
Eller. "a special l20yard hurdle race
will be put on the programme at Nc
Carren Park. Eller will endeavor 10
establish a new worlds record for the
event.
