BELGIAN NEUTRALITY

WASHINGTON, Oct. 23-The Belgian legation in Washington has made public the contents of a Belgian gray book of the correspondence which took place at the out break of the war, maintaining the letters show that the German allegation of mh- tary agreement between Belgium and Great Britain since 1906 to be wholly impossible.
 These letters were addressed by the Brit ish foreign secretary to Belgium on August f. 1914, saying that if Germany wished 70, break into Belgian territory, Great Britain expected Belgium to resist, and offered to procure joint help from Russia and France if such resistance was made. Similar in structions were issued to the British min isters in Scandinavian countries. These let ters were crossed by another from Belgium saying that its neutrality had been violated and appealing to England and France for help as guarantors of her neutrality in 1889.

Prison Reform at Auburn.

Renorts of conditions in Auburn Prison at
tributed to the prison reform plans OF lhomas
Mott Osborne and the prominence OF the MUTUAL
Welfare League of prisoners on their lace SNOW
unusual looseness in discipline. 1t may be that
this is improper laxity which has produced narm
70 nrisoners and the community at large. But
there is another and far more important sloe
to all that is cited to sustain this contention
The Tribune holds no brief. for MI osborne
and the Mutual Welfare League. 1t does peheVe
that no sincere effort at prison reform can De
made without bringing about conditions which
NAV be described with reasonable accuracy as
chaotic in the period of transition from the ola
time of penalties, dark cells and terrorism by
the wardens and guards to the newer time OF
Justice and human treatment If a portion OF
the nublic believes in bread-and-water and
dark cell as the proper punishment for con-
victed forger permitting him to take part IN
minstrel show for the pleasure of other convlcts
will seem like improper liberty and an exhlbi-
ton of mawkish sentmentality Nevertheless,
the former treatment inevitably confirms the
convict in his criminal tendencies while the lat
ter may render him capable of assmating train
ING and views which would make him useful
citizen in after life.
The Mutual Welfare League may have strayed
from its purpose and undertaken TO run Au-
burn" That would be unfortunate, but it would
not be any argument against the idea OF prison
reform in general or of this particular attempt
to make the prisoners capable of self-government'
The old brand of prison has been moral pest
house and an economic failure. This newer
scheme may not be glowing success yet, but
even if it has failed worse than the facts at Au-
burn indicate it is still well worth further trial
/ In it lies the only hope of lettering prisons and
prisoners with which the public is now familiar

The OUTRAGEOUS Coroners.

The public will agree heartily with coroner
uelenstein that his acts in Office have been out
raqeous." His testimony about his official career
has shown him to be mentally small, morahy
wabblv. professionally lax and spshod' he mas
been almost everything an officeholder should
NOT he. If his acts have stopped short Of Grim
;noIi+v II has been by narrow margin of legal
technicality rather than of ethics.
This official lays most of his SINS OF oHlSslon
and commission at the door of the system Inc
public will agree that the coroners system Is
likewise outrageous. 1t permits and fosters
petty graft; it covers up suspected CRIME iof
money or friendship; it lameutaby fails 70 as
close crime suspected in cases under lnvesuga'
ton. 1t is failure. 1t wastes money. IL
should be wiped out in the first month OF the
approaching legislative session.

WORK FOR CHARITY
KEEPS MANY BUSY
French Children Helped by Ba-
zaar and Madonna Nursery
by Benefit Performance.

Yesterday was a day of bazaars and
benefits. A sale of pretty and useful
things to raise money to help the
Ecole Maternelle FRANCHISE was held
at Delmonico's in the afternoon and
evening. This day nursery harbors
many little French children while their
mothers are out doing days work. Not
few of them are children whose
fathers are fighting in France.
Among the members of the commit
tee in charge of the bazaar were Al
bert Lesinsky, Andre Tridon, Felix
Eilinger, Henri Crenier, l.. G. Robin
son, George Barrere, Lucien Bonheur,
G.. Cazeau, s. Schwartz, +. Dupre, ~.
B. Sinsheimer, Daniel Jordan, A. Ere
gosi, l.. Kaufman, r. V. Franklin, H.
Magee and VI. Lang.
At the Bryn Mawr Club, 1877 East
10th ST., bazaar was held from till
7 o'clock for the benefit of the In
tercollegiate Bureau of Occupations
for Women. Red Cross materials, old
brass and copper, children's dresses,
toys and many other articles were sold.
There was a benefit performance of
"Experience" at the Booth Theatre
for the Sisters of four Lady of Chris
tian Doctrine. These sisters have the
Madonna Day Nursery, at 173 Cherry
ST., where eighty children are cared
for, while their mothers are at work.
There is also a soup kitchen, where
the hungry are fed, and there are
many clubs and classes for mothers
and children in connection with the
nursery. The sisters care for about
200 unemployed every day and visit
the sick in their homes.

A Committee to Aid the Unemployed.

Mayor Mitches committee on unemployment
will have two distinct duties. The first and more
pressing is to coordinate the raising and
handling by charitable organizations Of funds
for relief of those unfortunates brought to actual
want by lack of work. That is big task for any
committee. Already there have been unusual de-
mands on all such relief agencies, and only the
lack of cold weather and snow has prevented an
overwhelming appeal for aid from the helpless
Inevitably the resources Of the city will be taxed
this winter to meet the demands, but prompt or
ganization of the committee and preparation for
crisis will enable the authorities to meet it ably
when it comes.
The second duty is TO attack the problem con-
structively-to endeavor to bring about some
kind of relation of employers and workers of the
city. so that it will not be a business neces-
sitv" to reduce the force" overnight and dump
dozens of men into the cutters 1t is easy to
theorize about cooperation of employer and en-
ployed In plain fact, the relation is that the
emrloyer gets all he can and the worker follows
the example of his chief. The employer, having
capital has staying power in bad times; the
worker. having none, becomes a public charge
when his Job ceases. No device of the workers
has vet changed that state of affairs. Perhaps
the employers themselves cannot change it, per-
hans nothing but an exercise of public power
will. 1t certainly is the public's business.
The Mayors committee numbers among its
members the heads Of concerns in many lines OF
business employing large stats of workers They
are familiar with private pension systems and
similar plans which have brought executives and
employees of large corporations into closer rela-
tons and made some provision for the future of
the workers. 1t is to be hoped they can work
out some method for relieving-it is too much
to hope for cure--the chronic business condi-
ton" which puts thousands of human beings
helpless on the streets.
The great city fosters the system which does
this; the city has TO Care for them when they
cannot care for themselves. 1t is time for some
public agency like this committee to make study
10 devise means for lettering matters.

WHY THEATRES SLUMP
The High Prices of Tickets Have Sent
Another Reader to the Movies.

To the Editor Of The Tribune.
Sir: The letter in to-day's Tribune
from "P. f. r." in reference to the
atre attendance "hts the nail square
on the head" The prices for seats
have steadily gone up, while many OF
us think that the quality of plays has
just as steadily gone down. For num-
Der of years a great many of us stood
for the extortion, but now things are
different.
Late last season, with my wife and
two friends, | attended one of the AID
st. playhouses, and after some delay
the box Office supplied me with four
tickets in the eighth row and on the
left side of the first balcony, and the
price was 50 a seat. That was lesson
to me. Never again will | submit TO
another hold-up of that kind. Recent
ly nv wife thought she would like 20
see one of the Broadway attractions,
/ but decided not to 90 after the box
Office advised her that the downstairs
seats for Wednesday matinee were 81
each.
/ Now we 20 TO the "movies" at 10
cents each or TO one of the new vaude-
VILE theatres here in Flatbush, where
the best reserved seat is only 80 cents.
and while the attractions are not the
same as in the larger theatres, still
one enjoys them and one knows that
/ he is not held up.
The real reasons for the slump in
theatre attendance are the high prices
of tickets and spectators. NJ.
/ Brooklyn, Dec. 2, 1914.
