Lawn Tennis in Popular Favor.

The astonishing popularity of lawn
tennis is impressing those who like to
survey in prospect the nations annual
sports crop. Mr.. Wrenn, the president
of the United States Lawn Tennis Asso-
citation, has announced 167 fixtures for the
coming season, the greatest number in
history. 1t has needed only half an eye
to note the rapidly growing interest in
the game manifested in the city parks, in
the increase of rentable courts wherever
vacant block makes their construction
profitable, in the growth Of tennis clubs,
and in the greater emphasis the game
has acquired among collegians. Since
from every point of view lawn tennis is
one of the best and most beneficial of
games, its mounting favor must be hailed
as a sign of health in the community, its
if permanent, as an added
bulwark of democracy.
The present tennis wave is in the
nature of a revival, extending over half a
decade. Following its invention, or adap-
tation from the ancient court tennis, in
England in 1874, lawn tennis enjoyed in
this country vogue which reached its crest
in the early nineties. Later it lost ground
before the invasion of golf, probably for
the reason that it had not yet obtained a
hold on American youth, ever conservative
in its attitude toward sport, but had ap-
pealed mostly to those to whom golf ap-
pealed even more, namely. to men and
women in their thirties and early forties.
For a decade or more popular interest in
lawn tennis declined steadily, until New
port, the home of the national tourna-
ment, seemed almost its last stand.
Then out of the West, like Lochinvar
wooing international honors, appeared
Mclaughlin, the theatrically brilliant
His dash, his triumphs, fired
the imagination Of youth. The reaction

An Italian View OF the lrredentist Problem

To the Editor Of The Tribune.
Sir: Maximus A. Lesser, OF Prussian ex-
traction and therefore unquali. to express
any opinion on your editorial "Italy's Terms.
proves that he is not very familiar with ltal-
ian history and that he is a Prussian in edu-
cation and refinement.
While it would be very easy for me TO
prove you go too far with your conclusions
on the future situation of lstria and Tren-
tino, it would be useless to start an argu-
ment with the "Maximus" exponent of Prus-
sian "kultur."
Poor Mr.. Maximus! He does not know
that Novara has been lost by little Piemonte
against the colossal Austria. He ignores that
Lombardy has been conquered by Italian
blood shed in the battles of Magenta and
San Martino. He does not remember that Gtal-
ian unity had not been completed in that year
1859 on account of Napoleon HIS weakness
or deceit, and, evidently. he forgets that if
Prussia won at Sadowa it was on account of
the immobilization of about 100000 Aus
trians In the war against Italy of 1866!
Napoleon was as much guilty of gobbling
up Corsica for France as | am of the "kultur'
Of Mr. Maximus! Poor Napoleon! He was
not even born when the Banco di San Giorgio
Of Genoa sold that island to France
Why should | demonstrate to Mr.. Maximus
that the italian Irredenta' agitation is hon
crable, just and worthy of a nation with ira
ditions pure, free and ideal as those of Italy
Does MIR Maximus know anything of Aus
trian persecution and cruelty in those Italian
provinces against people who are as true
Italians as the Romans are? Evidently he
does not, and surely it is not my duty to en-
tighten a "Maxmus Prussian."
In conclusion, take the liberty to say that
any one who is the son Of nation that is
filing the world with horror has no right to
Judge and to condemn the action Of coun-
try which is making great sacrifices in order
to keep peace and to give freedom to her sons
by completing her national unity.

Bad Policy and Bad Faith.

There is pending in the Senate at Al
bany bill amending the tax law in rela-
ton TO the taxation of secured debts. 1t
represents an effort to raise additional
revenue, but it employs a method which
not only defeats itself so far as helping
the treasury is concerned, but also COM
mits the state TO a foolish exhibition of
bad faith.
In 1911 the Legislature passed law
inviting holders Of bonds, debentures and
secured notes to pay tax of one-half
of l per cent on the face value of their
securities and receive in turn certificates
exempting the securities from further
state or municipal taxation. This offer
was made because it had been found i'm
practicable to collect annual taxes on
these forms Of personally. The state
suggested the bargain solely because it
thought that it would profit by it.
The pending bill undertakes to break
the engagement entered into in 1911. 1t
amends the law so as to limit the exemption
from future taxation on securities re-
ported to the Controller to a single year.
1t withdraws absolutely the guarantee
of indefinite exemption which the state has
given. That the Legislature has power
to do this Is extremely doubtful. 1t is
trying to invalidate contract, and the
United States Supreme Court has held in
parallel cases that a state has no more
right to abrogate contracts than an indi-
vidual has.
If, as is likely, this breach Of faith is
frustrated by the Supreme Court, the state
will be left just where it is, so far as con-
Germs owners who have taken out eX-
emptions. It's raid will have failed. More
over, it will have discouraged the certi-
fication Of any further Indebtedness of
this sort, and the only machinery left for
collecting a tax on securities will be the
broken down system of local assessment
There is absolutely no promise in the
pending bill Of increased revenue from
secured debts, unless that increase is to
be purchased-as it ought never to be
by sacrificing the honor of the state.
New-York tribune., 1915-03-25

In contrast to this, the autocratic House OF
Hapsburg has never made any liberal conces-
sion to its three million Italian subjects. The
long sought for and many times promised
Italian university in Trieste is still lar from
being an accomplished fact. The same arro-
CANT tone of the Austrian press on anything
Italian; the same brutal and aggressive treat
ment of Italian university students by their
Austrian colleagues and the gendarmes.
As further illustration of the opposite
tendencies Of the two countries as regards the
continuation of peace in Europe we can cite
the statement made by ex-Premier Gioltti
in the Italian Parliament-how the Italian
government rejected the Austrian proposal
Of IN attack upon Servia in June, 1913 In
spite Of this, Austria secretly connived with
Germany, and in their rapacious desire for
the advancement of pan-Germanism they
sought to punish and conquer Servia, thus
disturbing the equilibrium Of peace in Europe
and proving themselves unworthy of their
aly's tItaly) support In the face of this
unfaithfulness on the part OF her allies, snail
Italy remain silent? Shall she remain in
active in view Of the inevitable alteration OF
tie map Of Europe? Shall she not ask for
compensation? Go ahead, Garibaldians, and
complete the task begun by Garibaldi!

"ItaIY's TERMS"

To the Editor of The Tribune.
Sir: Permit me to reply TO your CORE
spondent. NJ. A. Lesser, whose letter appears
in Fridays March 19) issue of The Tribune,
in regard to your editorial "Italy's Terms"
l believe your correspondent misunder-
stands the article, a careful reading of which
would disclose that ltaly's demands were un-
just only on the assumption that what the
Rome dispatch contains is true.
| am in perfect accord with the spirit Of
your editorial However. the possibility is
that Italy only demands the peaceful cession
of those lands that were accidentally lost to
her. and which are, in sympathy, language
and geographically, hers.
Your correspondent says: "Italy has long
been willing to wound, but afraid to strike"
That Italy has been sincere in her desire to
maintain the status quo can be proved by
her alliance with Austria.
In alying herself TO Austria Italy cheer
fully sacrificed her national aspirations as
set forth by Machiavelli as sung by her
poets and musicians and as put into effect by
Garibaldi and Mazzini She did an injustice
to the glorious pages of the history of Pie
monte and Lombardia in their struggle for
freedom.

Italy's Hour.

To the Editor of The Tribune
Sir: On December % last | had the cour-
tesy Of your columns in an article which
you captioned Leaning Italy"
1t seems that now, somewhat sooner than
then anticipated, the fateful hour for Italy
has struck. She has her choice OF active
participation with France and her allies or
Of continued neutrality.
From Germany and Austria she will, in
return for her continued and friendly neu-
trality, get if she has not already gotten
the promise of the Trentino and Trieste
delivery to be made at the end of victori-
Gus war.
But what reason has Italy to expect that
a triumphant Germany will keep faith with
her better than she kept faith with Belgium
Italy must realize this and must know that
a firm hold on the coveted provinces can be
secured only by joining the Allies and help-
ing to put it forever beyond Germany
sower TO menace her or any one else.

War-Made Democracy.

James Slim, Jamaica negro, who had
served in the French Foreign Legion, has
become a private in the Coldstream
Guards and is training with the reserve
battalion at Windsor, according to dis
patches from London. In France that
would not mean much, for the color line
hardly exists there, as Americans under
stand it, England, much more liberal on
questions Of race and color than this ma
tion, has not hitherto accepted blacks in
white regiment. For a negro now TO
be permitted to enter not only a white
regiment but one with the position and
prestige of the Coldstreams is striking
evidence of the changes which wars press
ure can bring.
German regiments, the correspondents
tell US, are being officered more and more
by men promoted from the ranks. Ques-
tions Of social position and financial emf
nence go by the board in time of stress.
War, dragging its human playthings back
to the elemental, sheds along the route
the mere externals OF aristocracy and
caste. There is grim irony in the fact
that this greatest Of crimes against the
brotherhood Of man promotes, even tenn
porarily, a democracy, a brotherhood,
which peace could not produce.
New-York tribune., 1915-03-25
Reform, Not Execution.

New York City will feel no grief when
Governor Whitman removes the present
Public Service Commission for the 1st
District. There is universal feeling that
its members have not handled their duties
as they ought to have been handled-as
they could have been handled if the right
men had held these places. Nevertheless
it is to be regretted that the removal pro-
ceedings have been permitted to resemble
badly staged and inept political execu-
ton. In that lies danger of partisan senti-
ment obscuring the real issue in this case
the need for commission which can
and will perform its mission of helping
and protecting the citizens of the me-
tropolis against the public service cor
porations, with clear and definite view Of
the public interests.
The appointment Of the new commission
must be the answer to the outgoing COM
missioners' denunciations. It would be
worse than foolish-it would be fatal
for Governor Whitman and the confirming
body, the Senate, to make this commission
haven for Republican politicians as 1t
became for deserving Democrats.
Young, intelligent, aggressive, progress
sive men, ready to fight or prosecute delin-
quent or dilatory public service compa-
MES, should be named for this important
task. This commission must be high
class, able body, serving the public be-
yond a peradventure, or 1t is useless.

Fremont and the "OoIden Gate"

To the Editor of The Tribune.
Sir: In The Tribune Of March 10, in
Literary Criticism and Book News" | noticed
under the heading of "Cosas de California"
by Nellie Van de Grf Sanches, statement
that the Golden Gate" was named by a
hardy Anglo-Saxon explorer with a gleam Of
poetry in his soul--Fremont."
General John c. Fremont was not a "hardy
Anglo-Saxon explorer" but was born in Sa-
vannah, Ga. January 81, 1918. He was the
son of a Frenchman who settled in Norfolk,
Va, and who supported himself by teaching
the French language. | regret that the
authoress commenced her work by using an
inaccurate hyphenated word for the general,
when she could state with accuracy that he
was an American-born citizen and ran for
the Presidency of the United States on the
Republican ticket in 1855.
