How Hamilton'S System Works.

10 the Editor Of The Tribune.
Sir: The honor system has been used at
Hamilton College since the fall Of 1912 with
admirable results. There has been to my
knowledge but one violation, and that by a
freshman. The student. VINO was found
guilty left college quietly and without the
slightest fuss.
There is an honor court. consisting Of rep
resentatyes from each class to which viola
tons arc to be reported and which acts on
ali cases brought before them. II man is
found guilty when tried by the court the
court recommends to the faculty that ne be
dismissed. Thus the initiative is entirely in
the hands of the students.
At the beginning of an examination the
papers are passed and the instructor reads
the questions through. He stays for ten
minutes or SO 10 answer any questions that
may be proper, and then usually leaves the
room, though, of course, he is not obliged
to. Students may leave the room at any
time and for any length of time-they are
their Town masters" At the expiration of
the allotted time, or when all have finished,
one OF the students living near the instruc-
tor takes the papers to him. Every student
signs his paper at the end OF his exsmina-
ton. using much the same formula as that
used By the Regents examinations.

Influenza Again Prevalent.

There is small comfort in the official
assurance that influenza is not more com
mon than usual hereabouts. It means only
that no marked increase has been noted
by the Department of Health, a circum-
stance by no means irreconcilable with
prevalence. The Health
Commissioner puts the case clearly in say
ing that "at present our records show no
abnormal increase Of the grip" 1t is quite
possible, however, that physicians in pri-
vate practice might have different story
to tell, for if this years variety were Of a
relatively mild character they would be the
first to notice an increase in the number
of cases.
Some Of the most widespread outbreaks
have had little apparent effect on the NOR
tality lists, for the virulence Of influenza
varies to a remarkable degree in different
years. But it is not easy to determine the
precise mortality in any year. Influenza
is one Of those diseases that kill at long
range, and it is safe to say that great
many deaths entered under other heads
are in a true sense attributable to it. The
seeming triviality of the illness in many
cases is one of its dangers, and for this
reason no case of grip should be regarded
as insignificant.
At present there is not the least occa-
sion for alarm, but it is well to take rea-
sonable precautions. There is no doubt
about the prevalence of influenza in the
Middle West, in Pennsylvania and in some
parts of New Jersey. If former expert
ence counts for anything, New York is not
likely to escape whole, even if it has es-
capped hitherto. Hence DR.. Emerson's warn
ing against unnecessary exposure to in
lection ought to be duly needed by all.

Autepenultimatums-and Worse.

To the Editor Of The Tribune
Sir: Yesterdays Tribune has the following
headline: "Wilson Seeks Now to Avoid an
Ultmatum." It goes on to say: although it
vas openly admitted at the State Department
today that the Austrian reply was unsatis-
factory in every particular, and in spite OF
ro peated declarations by officials before its
receipt that the United States would not
make the Ancona a subject of debate, II has
been decided to send another note, which,
so far as form Is concerned, will be no
stronger than the first"

wide country or wider world expected any
thing else? honestly-no joking, no exag-
geratiou should have been surprised had any
other course been adopted.

iiy." Il confess that have never seen it else
where DO you not think that if your clever
cartoouist had known that word he would
have used Observation-Disclosures" instead
Of anything implying such quick action as a
mere "sntepenultmatum" And do you not
wish that the real "unpropreanteperutim
liability" Of the case would dawn upon the
PROFESSIONAL brain Of our Chief Executive?
One moro thought. if may venture il:
Does not the sending home OF Teutonic Dip
lomats appear 10 you to resemble in its
futility the efforts OF anarchists to abolish
monarchies by regicide? The individual Is
eliminated, but the system goes right on.

Wireless Amateurs a Help.

70 the Editor OF The Tribune.
Sir: While reading your paper to-day :
noticed an article headed Peril to Hundreds
in Toy Wireless in which you state that

quires that all persons making electrical in

OPPOSITION ALWAYS CRITICAL
Britain's Coalition Government Has Not
MuzzIed the Press.
Tn tho Editor o. Tho Tribune.

To the Editor OF The Tribune
Sir: ! hope that all Americans who study
our conduct with regard 20 the war are fully
alive to the fact that even under a coalition
government party feeling is still particularly
rife in the editorial ssnctum. II is well to
understand when reading the English war
news that there Is always a member OF the
government in whom the journalist has little
trust and whom he believes it incumbent
upon him TO damn with faint praise. This
applies 20 all English newspapers, no matter
what may be their eminence political
faith.
Out Of the journalistic sphere Englishmen
know that the initial blunders and mistakes
which attended Engsnd's entry into the war
and which no nation whose ideal was peace
could have altogether escsped-have now
been rectifed, and trumphs of energy and
organization have succeeded them. But the
English press won't let il go at that. Some
minister, Of the opposite party, must be
shown his weakness. This Is what is known,
in England at any rate, and even in war
time, rs freedom of speech. But the English
pressman fails in humor by sssociating such
freedom with anonymous contributions. II
the sermon in these paragraphs which con
stitutes the editorial view was always signed
there would be no cause for complaint. Light
would then be given by the writer's q1alifica-
tions. But the English newspaper editor
sticks TO the unsigned leader" even in con
demning the tmidlty OF his political oppo-
nents.
Neutrals should mark that in this matter
the English press censor does not intervene.
lie can stop the percolation OF news benef-
cal TO the enemy, but he cannot remove all
that obstructs their view of intelligent effort
on the part OF those unconnected With the
Fourth Estate. C.. KING.

Hardships of German Prisoners.

One Of the guards in a military prison
ers' camp in England is quoted in recent
dispatch as saying: The only difference
between US and the prisoners here is that
we have the keys" In second dispatch
to describe conditions in an
other camp it is intimated that the worst
hardship the Germans have to endure is
lager beer brewed in Scotland"
Obviously these reports have been CEN
sored or inspired by the British govern
ment. It is possible. no doubt, that in
some Of the camps the prisoners suffer 10
serious deprivations, just as in Germany
there are known to be camps where Eng
Hsh prisoners are not controlled by police
dogs or robbed of their overcoats BY the
officers in charge. Perhaps the best camps
in England were selected for inspection, by
way of establishing a contrast to the camp
al Wittenberg as described by our ambas-
sador in Berlin. 1t is quite certain, IN any
case. that at one camp in England the
Germans have been treated with eXtraor-
binary harshuess.
The facts were made public recently, IN
spite of the censor, when correspondent
wrote to the papers protesting against the
use to which his phcasants had been put at
Iibury Hall. 1.-TWO of the inmates of Ii
bury Hall he wrote, "haye been supplied

Safety Last.

The Triangle fire. the BinghamtOn fire
end the recent Williamsburg factory fire,
with their appalling death lists, carry no
lessons. Or else human greed, on the one
hand. and the sheer necessity for work al
any hazard TO keep mouths filed, on the
other. are superior to all statutes. One
conclusion or the other is inevitable, in the
light Of q report Just made by Dr.. George
VI. Price 70 the joint board of sanitary
control Of the clothing industries, dealing
with an inspection Of 528 buildings IN
which clothing workers are employed
This inspection. made last October,
showed that thirty-eight buildings were
perfectly safe-that is, they complied
with all the requirements Of the laws as
they now stand In all the others nu-
merous violations were found, ranging
from insufficient stairways and lack of
fire escapes to general smoking by en-
ployes and absence Of fire drills.
In the buildings inspected more than
! 900, 600 persons are employed daily; that
is. more than 100000 persons daily put
themselves into peril to earn their bread.
They have no choice 1t is an occupational
peril not within the purview Of the work
mems compensation law, but none the less
present. The state undertakes to elmi-
nate it and does not. The factory owners
violate the laws and get away with IT,.
The public seethes with sympathy and in
dignation for a few days following the
newest revelation of this awful condition,
particularly if that revelation take the
form of another disaster with loss of life,
and then forgets it.
Is the law impotent before greed? Or
is the statute book merely a concession to
form, a farce, an empty she'll? Absolute
safety, of course, cannot be guaranteed
10y statute, but compliance with the laws
enacted after the Triangle fire would have
saved most, if not all, Of the lives lost in
the two subsequent disasters. Who is TO
blame-the factory operators, who must
work where they can or starve; the fac
tory owners, who have their capital in
vested and must obtain a profit on it; the
officials, who are supposed to enforce the
laws, and fail; the general public, which
is supposed to stand behind all laws and
their enforcement? 1t is a vicious circle
on which Death loops the loop. Squaring
the circle seems easy by comparison with
solving this problem in social justice.

is impossible 20 say exactly what action
was taken there is good reason to believe
that the unfortunate German prisoners
were deprived Of their licerses. At any
rate, the author of the original complaint
himself admits that "the shooting has been
stopped
No one apparently has attempted to find
out by what process Of law the Germans
were robbed Of their sport 1t is known,
indeed that English officers on service
abroad are not allowed to have shotguns
in their possession, but in taking the guns
away from Germans in England the au-
thorities seem TO have been governed by
spirit Of downright tyranny and oppres-
sion.
