THE HELPLESS STARS AND STRIPES
A Reader Who Thinks America Inca
psble of Protecting Her Flag.

To the Editor of The Tribune.
Sir: In your editorial in to-day
Tribune, February 8, you say:
"But for the American flag flown on
an American ship there must be COM
plete recognition of neutral rights as
thew now exist. The United States can
never afford to admit the validity or
the paper blockade by which Germany
is going to try to exclude our SHIPS
from British ports, or permit those
ships to be dealt with as possible car
riers of contraband, except under the
recognized rules of international law"
But how is the United States to en-
force your position? Why illuminate
against foreign nations when we have
nothing with which to back up the full
mination? This question Of neutrality
and the enforcement of our neutral
rights goes to the foundation Of the
whole question OF our preparation TO
enforce those rights.
II Germany carries out her threat,
shall we protect each merchant ship
by a war vessel as a convoy? IL SO,
suppose Germany, nevertheless. insists
on her assumed right and, putting her
recent threat 20 use brute force against

ecution, sinks the merchant ship in

intention sinks the warship, too, what
are we going 10 do about il? Shall
we be edited by the stirring sight of

between sunrise and sunset" and swim
ming across to Germany with an emer-
gency ration in their teeth and their
rifles strapped on their backs, or shall
we again improvise cruisers out Of
ferrybosts 10 augment our feet!
We have not one efficient scout
cruiser. Our best battleships are COM
psratively deficient in speed. Accord
ing 20 late report we have one eff
fcient submarine, although this con-
dition may have been slightly improved
by this time. II takes nine months 70

To the Editor Of The Tribune.
Sir: Thank you for the fair articles
in your paper. The British ask for no

named as executors. No inventory of
the former bank presidents estate
was filed although he was considered
one of the weather. men of the COM

The death of Mr.. Nissley's son, J..
Paul Nissley, necessitated the writing
OF codicil. Originally ]. Paul Mss
ley had been named to act with Mrs.

substituted the Harrisburg Trust Com
pany. incidentally, the share of the
estate which would have ordinarily
fallen to the son is left in trust for
the dead bankers granddaughter, Miss
Katherine NJ. Nissley, a daughter of J.
Paul Nissley.
OF especial interest was Mr.. Mss
iey's bequest of 5000 to Miss Minnie
Basom, who had made her home with
the NiSsleys for years and who cared
Tor the banker and his wife during
their later years. In stating this be-
quest NJ. Nissley says that it is in
recognition of our love and affection
for her and just recompense for her
our interests" Another bequest of
$4,000 is given to the Hummelstown
Reformed church, the income of
which is to be charged annually on
the church books as from the account
of John ]. and Katherine Nissley.
Hundred dollar bequests are made 10
the Rev. John P. Diffenderfer. Miss
Elizabeth Price and Miss Sallie Barry,
Germantown. and a similar amount is
bequeathed to Miss Emma Z. Miller.
"a good and faithful teacher in our
Sunday School," Mr.. Nissley further
provides that the gold watch he re-
ceived from the directorate of the
bank on the twenty-fifth wedding an
niversary OF the Nissleys in 1881 be
given to his son, j. Paul Nissley, TO
he handed down from father to son.
The disposition of the watch in the
event of Paufs death is provided for
by bequeathing 1t to the granddaugh-
ter. Katherine F. Nissley.
The estate is divided between Mrs.
Meyer and the granddaughter, Kath
crime F., with the proviso that IL the
latter marry, die and is survived by
children, provision is made for them
until they reach the age of twenty
zone.

vention held at the Adelphia yester-
day, the State organization success
fully resisted opposition and elected
it's entire ticket, headed by Mrs
George B. Orlady. who will lead Penn

year. Although they contested dur
ing every minute of the convention,
the Philadelphia delegates, who SET
out to fight the Allegheny county dele
gates, representing the faction in
power, were defeated, but they lost
only after every method they could
think of had been used to overthrow
the organization slate.
Mrs. Orlady. wife of Superior Court
Justice Orlady, received 1877 votes
against 141 polled by Mrs. Maxwell
Chapman, of Scranton, who was put
on the ticket by the insurgents. The
others chosen were: First vice-presi-
dent, Mrs. ]. o. Miller. of Pittsburgh

Man, Believed Insane,
Is Little Hurt When He
Jumps From Train Window

Howard Stemple, aged 2S years. OF
Philadelphia, believed to be demented
who last night broke away from Penn
sylvania railroad officers, and jumped
through passenger car window al
North street, was found in South
Front street. He applied at several
places for something to eat. Henry
Burn brought the man to the police
station. When taken to Jail for safe
keeping, he tried to get away from
Patrolman Busch.
While enroute to that city from
Johnstown he became demented and
was placed in charge of an Altoona
OFFICER. The man was violent but
quieted down. When the train
reached North street crossing, he
started to put on his overcoat. Be
fore the officer could get his coat on,
the man had jumped through the car
window. With the exception of a few
cuts on the face and hands, and sew
eral body bruises, the man suffered
little from his jump from the train.
