For a Conference.
New York, May ~. 1915.

To the Editor OF The Tribune.
Sir: This is the time TO sit around the
table. Without the slightest intention of
criticising President Wilson's attitude, it
has appealed TO the writer that at this tense
moment, when all America and all the civ
lized world are looking to the occupant Of
the White House 10 give his final conclusion
on what should be the policy OF the Ameri-
can people in this crisis OF their history,
this is not the time 20 be lonesome;
that the President of the United States
should invite 10 a conference the represent
alive men of all parties-the ex-Presidents
Of the United States, ex-Cabinet ministers,
big fnanciers, naval and army strategists,
representatives. Of the labor and social inter-
ests; that these men should gather around
one table, as did the original signers OF the
Declaration of independence; that they
should not necessarily sign anything, but
that they could express the point Of view OF
The American people that they represented.
No necessary publicity need be given to the
deliberations. The session could be execu-
tive. The President need not participate in
The discussion. As presiding officer he could
gather the viewpoint of the American people
from many angles, and his final concrete an
nouncement should be more comprehensive
because of Its being Of composite construc-
ton.
This is the time that all American people
are thinking thinking deeply-and It ap-
peals to the writer that in a true democracy
he declaration OF its executive official should
he the expression Of the peoples thought

Let Us Stay Out. "

To the Editor Of The Tribune.
Sir: Why should we suffer Dr. Dernburg
and his fellow propagandsts to remain here
adding insult 10 injury? Surely the dignihed
course for our government 10 pursue is 20
insist that these individuals leave the coun-
try Immediately. As regards going 10 war, 1t
strikes me that is just what Germany wants
us TO do Il would prevent us for six months
at least from sending arms and ammunition
10 the Allies. That being the case, let us
stay out by all means. We can do the Ger
man war party more harm by supplying the
materials to fight with than by fighting our
selves Other neutral countries will recog-
nize this and commend US; the Allies will ap-
prove of our act and thank US; the Germans
will loathe our act and gnash their teeth i'm
potcntly. PHILIP KEY POTTER.

The Spirit Of the White House.

To the Editor of The Tribune.
Sir: Only last week we were reading in
the leading column of the horrors of war.
the waste, the wanton destruction and the
futility Of war. Now We pick up our Mon
day paper TO find the leading column fairly
pleading for war. For what? For lot of
Americans who had been forewarned, but who
insisted upon sailing upon an English ship
laden with contraband and troops. and who
as result lost their lives when the ship
was torpedoed.

To the Editor Of The Tribune.
Sir: May l congratulate you on your edi-
torial in to-day's issue? You very aptly com
pare the Germans to the man-eating tiger OF
Hindustan. A further parallel might easily
be drawn with that country. The massacre
at Cawnpore pales before that Of the passen-
gers and crew of the Lusitania. The victims
of the former suffered at the hands OF re-
ligious fanatics; those Of the latter at the
hands of opponents Of Kultur.

To the Editor Of The Tribune.

much IN itself and its chase for the almighty
dollar TO know this war and feel II. The
country has had one lesson-an expensive

To the Editor Of The Tribune.
Sir: The editorial in your issue Of May Z
entitled more Than a Trihe Late has just
come TO my attention. In it you state as
follows: at was Mr.. Osborn's advice that
restrained Governor Glynn from breaking
with Charles F. Murphy. Governor Glynn's
declaration of independence was submitted
TO Mr.. Osborn and on his advice suppressed
I beg to say that il is not true that Gov
crnor Glynn ever submitted TO ne any "dec-
laration Of independence" or that l advised
him with regard 10 any such matter.

imaginary character in the admirable and re

Welcome to the Merchants

The two thousand Alabama mer-
chants now in Birmingham to attend
their third annual convention are re-
ceiving cordial welcome from all
classes of citizens. They form a rep
resentative body-representative of
the intelligence, the sturdy manhood
and the commercial progress of the
state.
The visiting merchants find Biz
mingham wonderfully prosperous to-
day. This time last year the large
Industries were curtailing their opera
tons. The European war was causing
depression throughout the country
and the low price of cotton resulted
in very acute depression all over the
south. But now the situation in Ala.
bama, due largely to the crop diversi.
fication movement, not only shows
marked improvement, but conditions
are fundamentally better than they
have been for sometime past.
Here in the Birmingham district
the pay rolls are increasing rapidly
This city is entering upon an era Of
booming prosperity and this pros
perity will be reflected in many sec
lions of Alabama. At any rate tn,
merchants find enough here to en-
liven them and impress them NOR,
than ever with the fact that Birming
ham is entitled to be recognized a.
the center of the south's industrial ant
mercantile activities.
May the third annual convention b,
remembered as a red letter event il
the history of the Alabama Merchants
association.
