Prudent Pride.

To the Editor of The Tribune.
Sir: When before. in the history OF this
great nation, we're true Americans ever "un'
prepared" to defend their country's honor,
to defend their women and children. to up
hold the sanctity of American lives? Did
VIC wait to prepare in 1910? Did we wait to
prepare when Fort Sumter was fired upon?
There is kind Of pride closely akin to
pusillanimity That pride which is too lofty
to interfere when Mexicans spit upon and
defle the flag, too lofty to fight when bar
barians murder our women and children on
the high seas, and too lofty to act when
traitors blow up and set fire to our factories
at home-that pride is not an American
brand W. +. H.

Winston Churchills Goodby.

Few things in Winston Churchill's COM
paratively short life, crammed as 1t has
been with the very stuff of drama, have
seemed more dramatic than his quiet
!eavetaking for the front. Within a day
or so of his ovation in the House of Com
mons he appeared at the railway station
wearing his officers uniform and sword.
His mother and wife," the little London
dispatch says, "were about the only ones
to see him off on the dark, gloomy, foggy
morning He was practically unrecognized
as he stood on the platform
Perhaps down in his heart ne would
have preferred a noisy congregation o.
followers TO neutralize the pang Of part
ing. Even former Cabinet ministers and
national favorites are only human at such
crises, and the best of soldiers dread those
exquisite farewells more than all the shells
and shrapnel of a war-mad world. But
so much the more reason, it may be, why
thew should face them alone, without IN
corruption o. extraneous help, since, nav
ing once gazed with steady eye into burst
ing hearts, the sight Of bursting bombs
comes like comedy relief.
In any case, Mr.. Churchill seems not 70
have spared himself the ordeal, SO that IN
this respect, at least, he amply bore out
his assertion 'Im simply joining my
regiment as any other officer does, ana
there's nothing more in it than that
But if one ceases for the moment to
contemplate son and husband in the hero
of this incident and sees only the former
First Lord of the Admiralty, still smart
ing. despite his "vindicaion" in the House,
under the responsibility for defeat and
useless sacrifice of life, then it must ap-
near that there is a great deal more in
Il than that" Inevitably, then, will come
the temptation to put into his mouth the
words of the tragic Sidney Carton: 1T
is a better thing do than / have ever
done; it is a greater rest go to than l
have ever known"
Well, heaven grant that he shall live to
enjoy his peace of mind!

Pink Jeans.

There is something about the color,
pink, which would seem to insult 1T as
trapping of manual toll. We associate 1t
with daintiness, with Growing babies and
debutantes and flowers and fair COM
plexions. Few, indeed, are the men with
the temerity to wear pink, whether pink
ties, or pink socks, or pink shirts. They
would be running too great risk, they
feel, of being kissed, publicly.
But it appears not unlikely that soon
we are to have pink overalls 1t is simply
another tragedy of war. The blue which
runs to jeans is fast running dry, or, In
the words of Mr.. F. R. Hamburger, secre-
tary of the National Association of Gar
ment Workers, "the supply of blue vege-
table dye is just about exhausted, and we
are unable to get more, as Germany is
the sole exporter Of the blue dyes used
here"
If we could only distil little of the
atmosphere now resting above the United
Kingdom! In lieu Of which it will be nee
essary to become used to mechanics in
pink. But since we have already accepted
without protest the army officer with
wrist watch, perhaps this other ordeal Will
prove lighter than it appears in prospect
The great danger, of course, will be the
tendency among some of the more extreme
of our Young men later on to affect pink
as an evidence of hard-fisted manhood.
Against this we must set our social face
like adamant.

THE sAWDUsT sTUFFING

To the Editor of The Tribune.
Sir: Your editorials on the present admin

in an exact manner. We have stood Tor the
Mexican fiasco, for this country was grea'

nroud to fight" would have passed as iair

Military Medicine in the Seven
teenth Century.
(From The Lancet

The librarian of the Royal Society Of Medi-
cine has, along with larger and more recen!
works, placed on the shelf two little books
dated 1914 on military medicine and surgery,
or, as We may say, war primers. The one,
entitled "Cista Miltaris, or A Military Chest
is "a Description of DR.. Lowers Lancet, for
the more Safe Bleeding" with an illustration
thereof. . The second book is entitled
"a Body Of Military Medicines Experimental

sitian of the Electoral Court of Bavaria, and
Englished out of High Dutch" IL b. gins
with the Morals Of a Souldier, who ought to
serve his Prince faithfully TO the best Of his
skill and power, to obey his Officers readily,
and to do to all others as he would be done TO
If he were in their condition. Then is given
advice regarding the care Of his Body as fol-
lows: "To free myself from Vermin, take a
good quantity Of Norwood, and the inner cut
tings of households; boyl these both to-
gether in half lye and half water, and so put
thy shirt into it, and afterwards dry it in
the Air, without washing it out any other
way, and not lowse will come into it. If
thou canst not have Spring water, let some
drops of Oyl of Vitriol fall into it, and you
need not then fear any corruption or poyson
in such water. Otherwise if time will per.
NIT, let il boil up and cool again. and you
may drink of it safely" Concerning the
Army Medical Staff We learn: "rThese ought
TO be no Youngsters, that are lately come
from Schools and Universities, but such as
are expert in the Cure Of Diseases The
Physicians and Chirurgions are TO be init

without envy and pride, for the better relief
of their Patients. 'Tis very necessary both
these should 90 abroad and travel before
they undertake 10 practice, thereby to learn
to converse with the more discretion and
eentleness with all sorts of humors" In
Therapeutics the work is both informing and
dogmatic: "To avoid fevers. keep thy body
clean every way; be cheerful; never fast
ing. nor never full. To heal injuries. keep
the wound clean, and let not many look into

OUR IMMEDIATE INTEREST IN THE WAR
WHY for Americans Struggle of Civilization Against Bar
barism Why Many Old Supporters of MIR. Wilson's Ad-
mintration Are Beginning To Be Troubled.

difficult for England to carry on this night,
which is our fight as we'll as hers.
England has already expressed her readi-
ness to accept the decision of the court at
The Hague in regard to any losses that
American merchants may have sustained or
may yet sustain through her blockading
policy. It seems to some of us absurd that
we should be pressing sharply these conten-
tions against England for damages in con-
nection with cargoes when as far as our COM
plants against Germany and Austria are con-
cerned for the murder Of American citizens
and our protests against the murder Of hun
dreds of non combatants other than Amer-
cans we permit ourselves to follow laisser
fare policy. The Germans seem to have as
sured themselves that our administration
can be trusted not to take incisive action.
The increasing indications and evidences of
conspiracies in this country, to incitc strikes,
TO bring about the destruction Of munition
factories, to find moneys for conspirators
placing bombs in passenger vessels, to organ
ize disloyal citizens to withstand the policy
Of the country, give ground for the conten-
ton that Germany now feels herself to be
practically at war with the United States.
Our citizens. including thousands who, like
myself are Democrats and have been support
erS oil Mt. Wilson'S hOHlHistThtloH, are DE-
coming troubled, not to say indignant, at the
unduly patient delays in securing redress for
serious grievances. II is months now since
the destruction Of the Lusitania, but we have
still to learn that such redress as may yet be
possible has been made for that act Of MUIR
der The lives of the dead women and chill
dren cannot be restored, but We ought
months ago to have had guarantees that
such acts would not be repeated. In place
of such guarantees We have the repetition Of
the acts. The German-built submarine, con-
veniertly for the time flying the Austrian
colors, repeats. in the destruction Of the An
coma, the barbarities committed by the sub
marines in the British Channel.
Americans are prepared to support the
President and the administration, but they
contend that the time has come for action
If there be no incisive action, il Germany
and Austria feel that they can still depend
upon the patience Of the United States, we
may look forward in the near future TO fur
Their similar barbarities, and the RESPONSE
bility for these will rest upon US.
