Great Appreciation.

To the Editor of The Tribune.
Sir: | cannot resist expressing to you my
great appreciation on your splendid editorials
since the beginning of this horrible war, but
the one on Bastile Day is surely the most
eloquent Of expressions Of true and honest
facts that any paper or any one has ever
issued, and | wish that it could be read
especially by those who try to belittle France
and her honest purpose in this war to save
or help to save the rest Of the world from
barbarism and militarsm.
A French-American, but for the last forty
years true American only.

Noblesse Oblige.

Some curious compiler lately sent to one
of the London papers a list of various
members of the Nelson family serving
their country in the present war. Some
of them were mere privates, and it is note
worthy that privates are to be found in
many similar lists relating to other famous
fighting families. The levelling effect Of
the war is apparent in most of the lists
Of casualties: the enlisted men are of all
ranks, and social station seems for the
occasion to have been forgotten.
This is a circumstance which most Eng
hshmen seem to contemplate with singular
eouanimity. For the moment distinctions
of class are forgotten and little or no
apprehension is shown with regard to the
future. When people do begin to speculate
about the readiustment of conditions after
the war they are apparently concerned
more with the question Of riches than
rank. Eve shall all be much poorer"
writes Lord William Gascoyne-Cecil, for
instance, land probably have to be content
with simpler lie. but the qudhIy oI
that simpler life never seems to be clearly
realized by the average man.
Fortunately there are one or two Eng
ishmen who understand that the simpler
life may mean something much worse
than the eschewal of luXuries, who clearly
foresee the dreadful consequences of this
mad sacrifice of social decencies, who, in
word, share the exalted sentiment of the
late Duke of Rutland as expressed in the
immortal lines:
Let wealth and commerce, law and learning
die,
But leave US still our old nobility.
One of the very few who show true
understanding of their duty as upholders
ST this indispensable class is Lord Alfred

COSTLY PUBLIC BUILDINGS
Too Much Money Wasted on Vain
Display.

To the Editor of The Tribune.
Sir: | am gratifed by the statement from
your Washington Bureau concerning Secre-
tary McAdoo's plan for government buildings.
It has been evident for years that such re-
form was greatly needed, and if the Secretary
can bring it about it will be very much to the
credit of the present administration
Government buildings should be designed
for use and not to crafty the pride Of am
bilious municipalities If designed with a
uniform, comparatively plain exterior they
could be easily recognized everywhere. This
does not mean that attention should De
paid to architectural appearance. But ornate
domes and towers, marble staircases and law
ish decorations and furnishings are not
essential to the uses of employees or patrons.
Durable material should be used, and commo-
dious. we'll lighted and comfortable quarters
provided for the occupants. The practice Of
voting 100000 buildings for $4,000 towns
should be discontinued. It is robbing the
people to crafty local pride. When a Con-
gresham, representing a town OF 5000 TO
10000 inhabitants, says TO a fellow member
representing city of the same moderate dI-
ing if you will vote for mine," when $4,000
building, properly constructed, would be
ample for the needs of either town for gen.
Grafton to come, they are planning to take
SlSO,O0O from the public treasury without
warrant and by betrayal of trust. Con-
gressmen should remember that they repre-
sent the whole country and not alone the par
ticular town in which they happen to reside.
Ten buildings costing $4,000 each, in as
many towns is a much better investment Of
the money Of the people than 100000 ex-
pended in one Of those towns on an orna-
mental structure which makes good picture
on a souvenir postal card, but is away be-
yond the needs of postoftce and internal reye-
nue. or United States court business The
average annual appropriations for public
buildings during the last twenty years could
be reduced by one-half, and, if properly ex-
pended, would result in increased provision
for the needs of the public
The proposition to erect skyscrapers for
government buildings and rent the aerial
stories for offices will doubtless meet with
emphatic dsapproval. The government has
no right to build houses and skyscrapers to
rent. If il already has more room than it
needs in some of its expensive structures it
might with propriety lease the surplus space.
Party platforms for years have advocated
economy in public expenditure, but they
seem to have been intended as glttering gen
eralties to catch the eye and please the ear
Of the voter. AS soon as the election was
over these high sounding professions were
allowed to drop back quietly into oblivion.
If the people wish economy in public ex-
penditure they must demand it and mean it
and stick TO the slogan, and they will get it.
If they content themselves with platform ex-
pressions Congress will go on doing business
in the same old way. f. p. BRANCH.

Lesson of the Ross Flag Incident

To the Editor Of The Tribune.
Sir: Annie Riley Hale's Illuminating dis
covery that Betsy Ross couldn't make flag
and hold a baby in her arms at the same
moment is not particularly strong argu-
ment against woman suffrage. SuEragists
have never contended that skilful Juggling
was an essential qualification for voting. On
the other hand, anti-sutTragists never as
serted that a woman couldn't care for a baby
and at the same time cook, wash, iron, sweep,
dust, scrub, bake, brew, make beds, polish
stoves, sew, nurse, attend store, market,
charity meeting social gatherings and
church.
The point made by Miss Adams, and ac-
cepted by persons of less penetrating per-
spicacty than Mrs. Hale, was that govern
mental work was not necessarily exclusively
male work, and that when the government
needed worker in woman's special field of
labor, Betsy was apt to be more ingenious
and efficient worker tnan George.
Mrs. Hale is fearful lest the problems of
government be further complicated by the
ignorance, weakness and incompetence that
characterize those intrusted with mothering
and training the race
That scathng denunciation is severer
indictment Of man-made civilization than it
is Of woman suffrage. If, after centuries
Of male government, masses Of the people
are weak, ignorant and incompetent" it
is hardly fair 10 charge it to the sex admit
tedy devoid Of direct political power Wom-
On suffer from the effects Of misgovernment
without sharing its responsibilities. Accord
ing TO Mrs. Hale, conditions are deporable.
Therefore, as the risk involved in emanci-
pating women is slight, and in view Of the
fact that persons who know all about the
working and effect Of woman suffrage in the
adjoining states are willing to adopt it, the
abusive opposition of the antis is an inter-
estins phenomenon. SARA MPIKE.

And so. as the son Of very ancient and
noble house. Lord Alfred thought it better
to stay at home, comforting himself with
the assurance that "they don't want IN the
ranks well known men who are the sons
of marquises." Besides, his case, he points
out, is peculiar, for he is not only well
known son, of marquis, but "a very well
known poet and man of letters" The fact
is. of course, though he is far too modest
to confess it, that Lord Alfred Douglas
cannot be spared. But since the members
of so many ancient and noble houses have
shown so little regard for their obligations,
it is reassuring to find one at least who
is determined on no account to confess HIM

"Juju.' -
From tn, Manchester Guardian

From The Manchester GuardianD
There has been nothing more picturesque
IN the reports of African warfare than q
sentence in the belated account of the plucky
British defence of Tukum, which is just in
side the border Of Northern Nigeria: "The
German officers had repeatedly attempted to
take Tukum, but their native troops refused
aga.n 10 face the juju at that place"
worker among native races sends me this
word Of explanation. at is no wonder" he
sa. s, that the Germans could not get their
natives to advance, as there is nothing they
are more terrified at than juju, which in
this instance means that some powerful
witch doctor had laid a spell on the place
drawing a line round it which must not be
crossed. This line would be marked by pieces
e tusk or hair or something of that kind
The natives would be far more afraid OF
facing the juju than they would be of death
because TO do so would raise up against them
III spirits Of their ancestors"
New-York tribune., 1915-07-20

America as well as Europe had at last
modified against the German idea; that
mankind as a whole, accepting German
method or German madness as a peril to
civilized existence, had collectively resolved
to save itself.
Is there no person in Germany or
America to persuade the German Govern
ment that a policy of assassination, a
course of murder, must inevitably end in a
reprisal? Great Britain, Russia, France
Italy, Belgium and Serbia are at war with
Germany. Tomorrow, if Germany per
sists in her course, we also shall be in the
conflict all unwittingly. The ten feet that
separated the Orduna from the German
torpedo measure accurately and exactly
the distance between war and peace for
the United States. We are at the mercy
of the first successful German attempt at
murder.
To The Tribune the idea Of an unneces
sary war is abhorrent 1t is satisfied that
the millions of American citizens want
only peace. But how is peace to be pre-
served if every days history brings new
attacks upon American lives? And the
question is not limited to America. II
Germany actually processes the doctrine
her acts illustrate, then there is nothing
left for any nation, any race but to 90 out
and fight as they would fight wild beast
OF an outlaw.
