RESPECTFULLY REFERRED TO THE
OFFICE CAT.

To the Editor Of The Tribune.
Sir: In answer to your accusation
published in The Tribune OF September
lG that our letter Of September II was
based on ignorance and impudcnce, we
beg to state that this looks like an at
tempt on the part of The New YORK
Tribune to influence public opinion
against US German-Americans.

cciyed two letters from the German

our cc-presdent protested against
the undignified cartoon, The Ne"
Triple Alliance" 49,, ,

protested against the cartoon, lrm
irakes an appropriate gift"

Oberhauser, forwarded TO you through
our committee. =,

MASCULINE RULE
How the Feminine Voice Might Lessen
Its Destructive Force.
To the Editor of The Tribune.

To the Editor of The Tribune.
Sir: The war which is at present
devastating Europe will convince all
thinking people that we have to-day
reached the pinnacle of what may be
termed masculine rule political,
financial, social.
1t and other recent happenings teach
us that militarism and the social evil
are tie natural outcome Of an exclusive
masculine form of government, and we
realize that unchecked it can but result
in the extinction of the human race.
Masculine rule makes for destruction.
1t is destruction only which will lay
any lasting claim on masculine atten-
ton. The treatment Of the English
militants Is an example of this.
Years of intelligent as well as help
full work on the part OF the English
sufragists passed unnoticed was ut
terly ignored. No logical reasoning. no
pleading for justice. seemed to penc-
trate the masculine brain as represent
ed by Englishmcn. At last, in despair.
the suffragists decided that the only
way TO gain attention was 70 resort to
AANbhOho Nutli lhhSAtlS GOulu DcSL uu-
derstand, and followed with the mild
breaking of windows and the destruc-
ton of few painted canvases and
some unOccupied buildings At last the
masculine mind was touched at cul-
nerable point. A fight was on hand
That they could understand, and they
entered into it with coed spirit, as is
testified to by the records Of their bru-
tai treatment OF those women who
simply wished to show them in the
only way calculated to make an i'm
preston that they wanted political
freedom.
The time has come when the temper
ing feminine influence must be felt in
the government as well as in the home.
When brothers or father and son lose
their tempers and fight threatens, as
frequently occurs in many house
hold, 1t is the mOther's>hand that stays
them-it is the mothers voice that
brings them to their senses. And
shamefacedly they refrain from Civ
ing way to their brutal passions. IL
the amount of ingenuity that has been
wasted in inventing Internal machinery
to destroy human life had been utilized
TO further the education and to develop
the character of the people and Of the
government we would all be enjoying
now what those who come after US
must still struggle for.

The Philosophy of Cold Steel.

Anybody can prove that in hand-tO-hand lighting
an automatic gun is worth ten bayOnetS. Which
would YOU rather face burglar with for eX-
ample? After a charge across field. with which
could you do the more damage? There is no doubt
of the answer Yet every military power retains
the bayonet and uses it in close lighting. Why:
The answer goes back Of fighting theory and
fighting machines to the human equation. 1t is
question of psychology rather than killing power.
The automatic may be the more deadly weapon,
but it has not the wicked, visible glitter of a row
Of fixed bayOnets charging up to a defensive line.
The bullet is an invisible enemy. You cannot see
it sweeping toward you; you do not imagine il
cutting into you. The gun coughs and it Is all
over. The row Of bayOnets s.oTts. waivers comes
on, faster and faster nearer and nearer Some cf
them 90 down others keep on. Cold, visible
death is sweeping up to you, and small wonder
that you break and run.
1t is the constant assertion of the Allies that
the German soldiers have no taste for steel aud
have constantly given way before bayOnet charges.
The point is one of the most psychological ques-
tOns which impartial reports may or may not
settle. The fact is unquestiOnable, anyway, that
cold steel has retained its value in warfare, de-
spite all the marvellous weapons that gunpOwder
has placed in the hand Of man.

For an Honest Primary.

The state chairmen's union for au honest prl.
mary vote is altogether commendabc. 1t Is to be
hoped the election inspectors-loyal party men,
every one-and the various other officials having TO
do with enrolment and balloting will accept their
chiefs orders for fair fight and honest count
A few short months ago the special election pro-
duced fragrant cases of ballot box stuting by cleo
ton officials, because somebody high In politics
wanted good showing All parties and all can
ddates will want good showing at the primaries
but there should be no voting Of dead mems names
or Juggling Of totals.

Business Opportunity for Prepared
Americans
Americans.


The American Manufacturers Export Association
issues a warning to business men and the public
against numerous "syndicates' and schemes for
exploiting foreign trade, especially that Of Latin
America. Doubtless such warning should not be
needed but surely it is. In spite of the efforts of
the United States government and consuls and
consular agents Of Latin-Amercan countries, hasty
il.considered, futile attempts will be made to ex
tend legitimate American business at the cost Of
many good American dollars, in EDITION to all the
get-rlch-quick schemes based on Latin-American
trade which will swamp gulibe persons with
money to invest
1t is true that war conditions have produced
splendid opportunity for American Business men IN
foreign trade. But that does not mean every bust
hess man who wants to extend his trade 1t means
those who are prepared by knowledge Of business
conditions and customs in the countries with which
they seek to have traffic 1t means those who have
the ability to meet the trade conc itons imposed by
these foreign merchants and who have business
stats capable of meeting these foreign merchants
on their own ground and under their own customs
not ours. American commerce has suffered iu Latin
America and to a somewhat less extent In Europe
because Americans, with singular lack of per-
spicacity have tried to impose their own ideas and
customs on the rest OF the world. Those Americans
will succeed, in this opportunity for extending
American business abroad, who show breIdth
enough to understand that the purchaser knows lis
trade better than they do and has right to gct
what he wants aS ne WANTS r.

THE CLUBBING OF A CITIZEN
A Reader Reports a Brutal Arrest by
Policeman.

To the Editor of The Tribune.
Sir: Some months ago the public was
advised that policemen were again per-
mitted to use their clubs.
On Saturday last, the 18th inst,
while passing through Cortlandt st.,
New York, witnessed a policeman
brutality club an intoxicated man.
When the officer (who seemed to be
of very light build, and not Nyer
strong, attempted to arrest this victim
of alcohol, he tthe prisoner took hold
Of the officers coat. This seemed to
exasperate the officer beyond reason,
and he Immediately began to belabor
the practically helpless man, and con-
tinued to beat him; digging him in the
ribs, and beating him across the legs.
He struck him over twenty-five times,
mostly after the man was subdued.

THAT DEFENSIVE COMMITTEE
Why 1t Deserves No Part of Its
Lengthy Name.

To the Editor of The Tribune.
Sir: The reading OF various eifu-
sions Of the "German-American Liter
airy Defence Committee" forces one to
make use Of the "odious" comparison.
As some great critic remarked, "The
Holy Roman Empire was not holy,
Roman or an empire; so one is led
TO remark that the above committee is
not German" american" Literary"
or defensive" On looking further
into this misnomer one finds the fol
lowing reasons why this statement OF
mine is justified: There is no such
thing as German-American one is
either an American or German; "lit-
erary" in the oxford Dictionary means,
among other things, polite learning
land the letters Of this self-styled COM
mittee show no trace of that; "defen-
sive" is the reverse Of "ofensive"-the
latter word being the proper one to use
in this connection.
The offensive tone Of the letters sent
10 The Tribune by the German Offence
Committee is sickening to the American
reader, and the thought arises the
threats made are so closely allied to
blackmail as to place the committee in
a somewhat equivocal position. 7.

The robber entered the bank about
4 4:30 o'clock, and, covering young
Ross with a revolver, ordered him
10 turn over the cash in the vault.
Ross demurred, but was forced in
to the vault. where au attempt was
made to chloroform him. The
young mans resistance foiled the
effort and then the robber felled
him with an iron bludgeon fash

assailant fled, jumping into bug

the only wench, as the Southern
white gentlemen would call them,
who is living with and raising
children for white men. But all
over that town the Afro-American
society rating as to your prestige
or standing depends wholly on the
amount of white blood in the Afri-
can descendants veins. The black
men and women are looked upon
as freaks. The time is at hand
when all Afro-Americans must be-
gin to think that they are black
regardless of the white skin.
The time has come when all
Afro Americans must rise up and
strike for the social equality laws
in order that their daughters will
be protected. The time has come
when the white ro-Americans
must stop marrying among them
selveo to have white children with
blue eyes and fiaXen hair, but let
there be more unions of the black
and white Afro-Americans and re-
claim the race. Stop the farce,
let the laws be just ones. If a
white man wants to associate with
a colored woman he must marry
her and stop the open adultery
among ourselves.
This story began with Marie
Scott and it must end with her.
Here is the Associated Press re-
port of the lynching: Marie Scott,
a Negro woman, who Sunday night
killed Lemuel Peace, young
white man, by driving knife in
to his heart, was taken out of the
Wagner county Jail early today
and hanged to a telephone pole.
The mob, which was masked, ov-
empowered the jailer, a one armed
man, threw rope over the wo-
mans head and dragged her out
of the Jail.
A knock at the door aroused the
sleeping jailer, alone in the office.
A voice outside said an officer was
there with prisoners. The jailer
opened the door and faced twelve
revolvers. He was bound quickly,
his keys were taken from him and
he was thrown into the corner.
The mob then pulled the scream
ing woman from her sell, tied
rope about her neck and dragged
her to a telephone pole block
from the jail. An hour later the
sheriff cut down the body. The
county attorney began an investi-
