The Winters Relief Problem.

1t is unquestonable that this winter will find
more families unable to pay rent, and so threat
ened with eviction than has been the case IN
many years. The secretary of the United he
brew Trades estimates that 100000 persons are
now out of work in this city. That may be too
high figure nevertheless, charity workers and
charitable organizations agree that the situation
is unprecedented All this, notwithstanding, does
not seem to warrant the proposal to form COM
mittee to solicit funds to be devoted exclusively
to prevention of evictions in worthy cases. 1t IS
too likely that such scheme as was proposed at
Sundays meeting of clergymen judges and 9TH
ers interested in this problem would work more
for the benefit of East Side landlords than OF
anybody else.
Before the winter is much older there will
probably be a necessity for the formation OF
some kind of central organization, or clearing
house. to handle the whole matter Of giving i'm
mediate relief to the destitute. If it is formed
this body should handle evictions one phase
of its relief work. No chance should be taken
this year, of all years. of scattering the public's
contributions for the destitute or dverting them
into work worthy enough but costly through
amateur handling duplication of expenses
necessarily incurred by some organized charity

Homes That You Can Help Through
Mrs. Booths League.

To the Editor of The Tribune.
Sir: We are nearing the Christmas
season again, and once more in ny
work for our country's prisoners ! am
face to face with the sorrow. need and
poverty in the prison shGdowed homes.
For many years we have striven 20

cent sufferers upon whom the burden
of the fathers imprisonment has fallen
so heavily. | believe that those who
have watched the work of the Voiun-
teer Prison League will realize that
il is not an indiscriminate charity,
but that we are most careful in our
investigation and seek to make our
help reach the needy in the most
practical way. Our plan is not TO
dress a Christmas tree or give cut a
Christmas dinner, but rather to send
the Christmas boxes into the homes
which would be other wise cold and
cheerless.

hundreds OF struggling women and

we are seeking 70 provide good, warm

groceries and toys, so that Santa Claus

IRELAND IS NEUTRAL
So a Celtic Poet Asserts in Defending
Roger Easements German Mission.

To the Editor Of The Tribune.
Sir: In to-day's Tribune you publish
a dispatch cabled to you from a corre-
spondent in London in which an Anglo
Irish publicist, Sir Arthur Conan
Doyle, seeks 20 discredit an lrlshman
Of the highest courage and attain
ments. Roger Easement. What has
Easement done that he should be set
before the American public as man
mentally afflicted? He has gone over
10 Berlin and obtained assurances
from the German government that IN
the event of a German invasion of Ire
land native institutions would be re-
spected. Ii Bohemian went To Petro-
grad on a similar mission, would he be
REGARDED as a madman? In this war
ireland is, morally and intellectually,
q neutral country; she has every right
20 guard her interests in Berlin as well
as in Paris or Petrograd.
The Irish party in the British House
of Commons, says your dispatch, has
icpudiated Easement and all his works.
"The only aim that he and those like
him are seeking to accomplish is to in
lure our nationalism in the eyes of the
British people" The gentleman VINO
told this to your correspondent was
ment had exiled himself and taken the
chance of being shot merely to spite
the Irish party. The attitude de-
clared by John Redmond at the outset
of the war is the attitude of every sane
and sensible Nationalist" Your cor
respondent has not told how the Brit
ish government responded TO Mr.. Red
mond's attitude. Within the week when
Irish men and women had been shot in
the streets OF Dublin by Scotch Bor-
derers Mr.. Redmond declared that il
the government withdrew its garrisons
from Ireland TO strengthen its forces
at the front the Irish Volunteers, in
company with their Protestant breth-
zen IN the north, would guard the
coasts of Ireland. If the British gov
crnment had one scrap of sympathy
with Irish pride they would have made
some response 10 Mr.. Redmond's ap-
peal Instead of withdrawing soldiers
they doubled the garrisons in Ireland.
Dublin to-day has IL ,0C0 troops instead
OF its normal garrison of 1000. while
the normal garrison of Belfast and
Edinburgh ,500-has not been in
creased. Instead of helping 10 arm and
drill the Irish Volunteers for service
at home the British government tried
10 lure them abroad, or. failing that, 10
have them disbanded. The British, gov
ernment has nominally passed a GONE
Rule bill and at the same time mas
told sn anti-lrish opposition that 1t
viii be given every facility for destroy
iEg iG before it comes into force. Ire
land has no reason for being other than
neutral in this war.
Roger Easement has shown courage
and common sense in going to Berlin
aud asking for the assurances which
the Imperial Chancellor has given him.
Irish people honor him for these re-
markable qualities.

WAR AND CHRISTIANITY
How Missions Have Gained Through
the Battles Of the Past.

To the Editor of The Tribune.
Sir: Although | hear on all sides
many pessimistic opinions as TO the
wholesale public murder now going on
i'm Europe and the terrible results to
come therefrom. | still hold to my
faith in the worlds progress as a GER
tainty. for God moves in mysterious
way, His wonders TO perform" and lie
has often used the wrath of man to
praise Him" | believe out OF this ter
ribe holocaust of slaughter and mis-
cry will come. as it has in the past,
the breaking down of many barriers
that have obstructed the furtherance
Of His gospel ana the dawn of a tfuer
and more just system of government
among nations.
This is the day of Christianity's op-
portunity as well as trial, for when all
else fails TO Him and Him alone will
the peoples cry out for help. From
world statistics ! find that mission
work in the West Indies and the Phil
ippine Islands was greatly developed
By the Spanish-American War and the
Boxer" revolution. and that the China
japan and Russo-Japanese wars stirred
all Asia and prepared China for the
opportunities Of the ages, and melted
within her and in Japan and'India AMI
bitions for such progress ard enl.Rtt-
enment as were never conceived Of be-
fore In the six years following the
Japan Russia War Turkey and Persia
and China all established coHslitu-
tional form Of government. Never in
so short 4 time in the history of the
world has there occurred q series of
events that has so tremendously inhu-
onced so many millions of people.
Even remote Afghanistan and inacces-
sible Tibet have been deeply affected.

And to-day, war-stricken, blood

sve. What the police did in temporary fasnion
then should be done completely now.
The gangmen constitute one of the biggest OF
polce problems. To have it constantly facing the
department through murders for money as II
does, is to argue sad failure on the part OF tne
police system. The gangs and their members
are known; their headquarters are known wen
enough so that policemen on post can attribute
Grim a given neighborhood to the particular
gang which rules that vicinity. 1t cannot De pos
sible that all the agencies of law and order must

Lord God. who moveth through mans

The ages on Thy wheel
Kings, nations, races, pass Thy way,
Beneath Thy guiding hands;
How do they flick, like wasted clay
And crumble on the sands,

Is moulding truth from dust;
Make Us more worthy of Thy peace
Make Thou our works more just.
II.
God, hold from US Thy blade Of war;
Its cruel, useless stress
Yet we seek only at Thy bar
The peace of righteousness.
For peace with wrath of class or clan
For peace that pales with fear,
For peace with wrong twlXt man ana
man
We do not ask Thee here.
God with Thy dole, purge Thou mans
OF malice, greed and lust;
So lead US in the walks Of peace
God, make our ways more Just

From wars that burn in agony
Banked smoudering in hate,
The bound child's moan, the woman

And mans dumb curse at fate ..
From wrongs that foul the peoples
