Mr.. KIPLING ON RUSSIA
The Most Westerly of Eastern Ma
tons" Is Cited from The
Man Who Was
the EdItnr of m Tribunc.

To the Editor of The Tribune.
Sir; Since you consider it worth
while to call the attention of your
readers 10 the attitude Of Rudydr1
Kipling toward the European war, per
haps you would be interested in what
MIR. Kipling thinks Of the Russians
and their ways.
In illustrating Mr.. Kiplings sentl-
ments in regard to the Anglo-French
treaty relations you have selected part
Of a work evolved to celebrate ma
tional event, namely, President Pom
cares visit to London. Under the cir
cumstances there was really nothing
else that II would have been in order for
the poet to say. The stanza quoted
bv YOU gives voice 10 a very natural
joy at the patching up of differences OF
very long standing and at the final con-
summation Of peace between two peo-
ples between whom any real casus bclli
had long ceased 10 exist. The poem,
however, makes no mention OF TINS
alliance as being against Germany, as
YOU seem to go out of your way 10
state. In fact. there is nothing IN
he felt any animosity toward the Ger
man people or any jealousy OF their
commercial and scientific successes.
On the other hand, the story entitled
"The Man Who Was published in the
collection called Soldiers Three
which was written number of years
ago. and which hence was not colorcd
by any particular national event. shows
that the author, and through him the
British public, feel strong racial an
tipathy for the Russians, with whom
they are now allied'in this war against
Germany. The point is also brought
out that Russia is to be thwarted at
every opportunity in her struggle for
the territorial supremacy of the globe,
the idea set forth in the will Of Peter
the Great. The following quotations
from this story will make this plain.
The opening paragraph reads:
Let il be clearly understood that
the Russian is a delightful person till
he tucks in his shirt. As an Oriental
he is charming. IL is only when he
insists upon being treated as the most
easterly of Western peoples, instead
Of the most westerly of Easterns, that
he becomes a racial anomaly extremely
difficult 10 handle. One never knows
which side of his nature is going 10
turn up next"
The story ends thus:
"And Dirkovitch, bland. supple and
always genial, went away, too, by a
night train. Little Mildred and an
other man saw him off. for he was the
guest Of the mess. and even If he mad
smitten the colonel with the open hand,
the law of that mess allowed no re-
taxation Of hospitality.
'Goodby, Dirkoyitch. and a pleasant
journey to YOU said Little Mildred.
"'Au reyoir.' said the Russian.
Indeed. But we thought you were

dear friends, is that road shut?' lie

FRENCH AIR ATTACKS

Two Vague Rumors.

To the Editor Of The Tribune.
Sir: / have read your editorial. SAY
agcry OF Airship Bombardments," and
would thank you TO publish the fol-
lowing:
Your editorial might more properly
have been printed at the time when
French aviator5 flew over Nuremberg
before war was declared, and threw
bombs into the city. Unfortunately,
none of the American newspapers
wrote as strong editorials against that
outrage AS you find pleasure I'm doing.
In fact, nothing was written about that
outrage. probably because the Ger
mans, expecting war with France, did
not set up such howl as our English
friends did, and did not appeal to
Washington TO forward protests to
Paris. The Germans. BE- seems, were
content TO think "cest la guerre.'
Further, French aviators flew over
Metz and destroyed "A Zeppelin in its
hangar by dropping explosives. Could
not the explosives have missed the
hangar and done similar damage IN
Metz as was done In Antwerp?
FRITZ NlEWEGER.

Tho Nuremberg attack has been
officially denied by the French govern
ment and is so inherently improbable
as to deserve scant attention. The de-
struction of a Zeppelin in Metz Is also
no more than an unconfrmed rumor--

GERMAN CAMPAIGN 4
MYSTERY TO ALLIES

LONDON, Sept. 7.-(Spe cial) The
German plan Of campaign in France
is for the moment mystery. Yester-
days bulletins stating that the main
German army Of invasion from the
north was turning away from Paris
and driving toward the south and
east, appeared to be confirmed and a
theory that finds supporters is that
the Germans propose now to strike
through the French army, leaving Pa
ris partially invested from the north,
and crush the main French force ~
cooperation with another German ar
my advancing from Lorraine. The
news that the Germans are attacking
the fortress of Nancy, and that EN-
peror William with his staff are at
tending operations, tends to fortisy
this theory.
The British war office describes the
allies operations as a stragetic with
drawal and contraction of forces.
Confederation of that theory is con-
tanned in a dispatch from Berlin which
describes a battle in a difficult country
between Verdun and Rethel as the
concerned The dispatch states that
the opposing forces are almost equally
divided, but that the French have the
advantage, fighting fran defensive
position of their own choosing.
Another significant factor is the
general understanding that the en-
peror of Germany is inspecting the
field of operations in this neighbor
hood. Repcrts disagree as to his ex

you call on the people to rally to
your leadership in an effort to
prevent the outrage of a repeal of
the ordinance which prohibits sa-
Icons from running free (0 lunch

We feel sure that in this crisis
when the moral good of our city
is being further jeopardized by the
salocn element, with city officials
seemingly in a great bond of SYM
pathy," that men and women will
rally to your call, for the fight on
this effort for further destruction
Of our sons. The write has ever
held the view that women could do
their work without the ballot,
through conscientious men who
represented them. We still be-
lieve this, and have confidence that
the men of our city will not sit
idly and help!essly by, while the
beer saloons and small number
of men composing the council, foist
upon our people something that Is
a violation of the wishes of all
good people in the community.

Americus has been aroused. AL

of its way, and yesterday the saloons
were given notice that they must
suspend the serving of free lunches
and all music in their places of busi-
ness until the law was repealed. But
Americus and her Christian people
have decided that the law must not
be repealed, and they are going to
have their way in this matter, or the
city council and the mayor will have
hard time explaining some things to
the voters of the city.
