. REMEMBER THE LUSITANIA
Comment of Reader of a Recent
Tribune Editorial.

To the Editor of The Tribune.
Sir: To the gentleman who wrote the re-
cent editorials on the British mistake and
the emembrance of the Lusitania, will you
please convey my sincere appreciation! IMAM
the last one. no article has stirred my blood
more since the days of the Civil War, because
manifestly il came from a heart wrung with
the sense Of utter helplessness in the hour
when our country. blindfolded, | sadly fear,
is cropping her way among the hot plough
shares.
OF course we are not the people North OF
South who fought the war TO a finish. De-
spite the circumstance that were all OF
us. earlier or later, imported. We were sub
stantially homogeneous people We are SO
no longer and greatly fear that ease, COM
fort. success have so developed the pocket
nerve that it is really the only one that is
responsive.
II amszes me 10 see one newspaper after
another Of those have been accustomed to
read joining in war dance over the protest
to England and the necessity of enforcing IT.
Cannot the author Of these two articles give
us one which may help to open the eyes OF
those of us who are riding for a sure fall :?
They seem to think that it's enough TO say,
"Oh, England will never 60 TO war with u.s."
Which may be true enough; but why need
she? Already one sees suggestions in the
daily press as to what might be the situation
if we were left to maintain the Monroe Doc
trine without friend in the world.

your editorials on the pusilanimous attitude
of the Washington government president

citizens on the high seas console me little

Possible Price of Peace.
,be Editor of The Tribunal

To the Editor OF The Tribune.
Sir: We are now having a recurrence OF
the epidemic OF secretly instigated lawless-
ness which swept the country few months
ago; we are also, in the sinking of the An
coma, face to face with another Lusitania
crisis. Where will it all end? When will
il all end?
Under the guise of strict neutrality we
have watched and waited in gnominous SUI
pineness, while within our borders have been
brazenly perpctrated the most fragrant and
insolent violations Of our status as an i'm
partial non-combstant. We have protested
yes; We shall probably continue to protest.
OF what avail are protests in a situation such
ms now confronts us, such has confronted
us-daily growing worse instead of better
since the outbreak of the European war?

NOTE TO FOLLOW NOTE
Lusitania Precedent in Our ContrO
versy with England.

To the Editor of The Tribune.
Sir Germans must have keen sense OF
humor, despite reports to the contrary. The
comments Of the German press on President
Wilson's note to England show real humor
They express some doubt that our letter
writing President will follow words with
action if the necessity should arise.
How ridiculous. OF course President Will
son will follow his words with action, but the
action will consist of reaching for another
sheaf Of paper and penning another literary
masterpiece to England He may even tell
England that the seizure of another Ameri-
can ship will be considered a distinctly dis
courteous act.
II President Wilson had followed his words
to Germany with real action the Ancona out
rage would not have occurred. Reparation
for the Lusitania victims, whose bodies are
scattered over the sands of the ocean, would
have been made. There would not have been
any attack made on the Arabic, but then the
President would not have gained diplomatic
triumph"
If President Wilson had followed words
with action-the kind Of action that Theo-
dore Roosevelt would have taken had he been
at the helm of the country-Americans would
not be despised in Mexico. Americans would
not have been forced to stand impotently by
while filthy bands of Mexican outlaws out
ragged their women. American sailors and
soldiers would not have been slaughtered by
outlaw bands.
In the face OF the action that has been
taken with Germany and Mexico does any
sane man really believe for one instant that
England will heed the latest note? Downing
Street will probably answer it, but the an
swers will probably be about as calculating
as the German notes on the Lusitania case
were.
Democratic newspapers must have Won
derfu sense Of humor when they comment on
the "triumphs" of the administrations for
eign policy-how President Wilson has kept
US out of war. People have a different name
for the man who allows every person TO ride
roughsho over him and does not retaliate.
That Is Just what the United States has been
doing
May the good Lord deliver us from another
Wilson, who appears to be actuated in every
thing he does from the political point Of
view Give to US another Roosevelt. He
made his mistakes. but any man who does
things makes mistakes. Roosevelt's own pet
term, "mollycoddle," fits the man who does
nothing but trim his sails for the political
winds.
OF course, the Chicago beef barons haven't
anything to do with tie note to England 1t
was directed solely by the master mind of
President Woodrow Wilson. Now IL he could
only send Paciist Bill Bryan along with
it what load of junk we would get rid of at
one time! But then, it is brutal to wish any
thing like the perpetual Presidential cand-
date on the English Why not send him to
the Kaiser to revenge the Lusitana's dead ?
Ezekiel and his trumpet might go along, too.

Sir: THE New York World in an edi-

the following: "All that has been gained in

warfare TO the rules of international Law

American diplomacy cannot undertake to dc

heading to the above asks this question
"But What Is the British Navy Doing"
Will THE World" kindly tell US what the
German navy is doing? What has it done
and what does it propose doing. and what
has President Wilson done to subject Ger
man submarine warfare to the rules Of in
ternational law? For answer | would ask

instant under the head "A Second Lusi-
tania."

he is acting on a probability. Is this a
very safe course? Certain forms of men

is now reason to believe that others may
in some measure be benefited by neo-sal-

whatever to the particular case under con-

the safety of suffering doctors to decide
whether to let men live or die by what
they conceive to be probabilities. Some of
them might be well guided, but to allow
them so much liberty is to extend their
function in dangerous measure. Doctors
as yet are neither gods nor executioners.

Depopulated Poland.
Editor of The Tribune.

To the Editor of The Tribune.
Sir: One statement made by your Petro-
grad correspondent, NJ. Tcheikesoff, in his
article in The Tribune Of November calls
for a correction without which it would be
misleading He says: "Of the 100000 in
habitants Of the provinces occupied by the
Germans, 100000 have fed before the ad-
vance of the modern Huns" | do not wish
to dispute his figures, the accuracy of which
neither he nor any one else is in a position
to judge, except, perhaps, few Russian and
German officials who do not usually vouch-
safe information of any kind to the public.
What NJ. Tcheikesoff should have said is that
these 5000 900 people fled, not before the ad-
vance of the modern Huns, but before the
retreat Of the Cossacks. 1t is now fairly well
known that the Russians laid waste the
whole country behind them AS they retired.
burning cities, towns, villages and farms and
even compelling the wretched peasants to
burn their crops and pasture to prevent their
use by the German troops. Statements to
this effect have appeared in The Tribune and
other American newspapers, as we'll as in the
English and German press, and may be ac-
CepIeu AS dCCutdtc, iVi they orc IA Au'i az
cord with we'll known Russian military
methods. 1t is conceivable that such vast
numbers have fed into the interior of Rus
sia, but they were escaping not from the
Huns, but from a desert. When cities of the
size of Brest-Litovsk, with a population of
$4,000, are burned 10 the last stick, it is
evident that the inhabitants must fly else
where, and it is equally evident that they
would not be permitted to go in the direc-
ton Of the German lines.
OF the 100000 who, as NJ. Tcheikesof
tacitly admits. remained behind in the con-
quered provinces the great majority belong
to the purely Polish and Jewish elements,
and have welcomed the Huns with open arms,
regarding them as deliverers.
In these warike times it is almost i'm
possible to hear unbiased opinions on any
subject connected with the great conflict, even
from those who, one would think, should be
truly neutral. But it makes one smile to
hear Cossack talking OF "the Huns"

Liberties of the Picture Dealer.

A well known London firm of picture
dealers, who at one time had branch in
this city, endeavored lately to recover
damages of a dealer in Bath for alleged
false and fraudulent representations in the
sale of certain sketches attributed to Con-
stable. The particulars need not at
present be considered; suffice it that the
purchasers of the sketches depended mainly
for their claim upon the following letter
written by the defendant when asked to
give the pedigree of his supposed Con-
stables:
purchased them about five six months
ago from an old lady shortly before her
death. She told me that the sketches be-
longed to her father, who was an artists
model. and he got them from Constable"

eighty, in fact everything in picture line
she had. Some more | am sending on to

her husband was an Italian or some for
eigner. The name of her father, "the artists
model" forgot to ask about
The buyers found that on the margins
OF several were the words 81. Constable,
R. A." or 81. Constable fecit," but after
ward learned that in reality they were
done by one Warren, and having reason
to believe that the story about the old lady
called Golfani was a pure invention, they
proceeded to sue the dealer of Bath. At
the trial the defendant admitted that he
had been told the sketches were Warren's,
but that, he said, might mean that they
came from Warren's collection. AS to
Mrs. Golfani, he confessed that she was an
imaginary person, but he was obliged to
invent her, knowing how dealers in Lon
don tried to find out the source of such
things" AS to the signatures, it was true
that he had inscribed them himself, but the
sketches had been offered to him as very
clever things" and seeing he himself
thought they were Constable's, the mere
writing of the name was no violation of his
conviction.
The interesting upshot was that the jury
disagreed. Apparently the confession of
lying was not regarded by all as impress.

pie of caUedt emptor is unlimited in its

Museological Ptomaines.

1t is rather unfortunate that sand
wiches and the Museum of Natural HIS
tory should be linked, though nomenta-
rily. in the public mind, since New York
ers, raised on the Raines law, are only
too familiar with a species Of sandwich
whose only proper habitat would be the
Museum of Natural History. The horrld
thought that such might finally have
found Judgement there will give them all
the more anxiety for the wellbelng OK
Commissioner and Mrs. Kingsbury and
DR.. Vile, and will excite, too, their pro-
found sympathy in the indisposltion OF
these distinguished fellow townspeople.
But there may be some comfort in re-
Numbering that every day sees fresh
demonstrations of the power of sugges-
ton No one can deny that sandwiches
eaten at the museum are eaten in an UNI
pleasantly suggestive environment. Could
this circumstance alone have caused the
illness of the Kingsburys and DR.. Vile?
1t will be impossible to say with any GER
tainty, of course, until Dr.. Haven Emer-
son. the Commissioner of Health, has COM
pleted his analysis of one Of the unhappy
sandwiches served at the Monday even
ing meeting. But if suggestion is actually
the culprit we may look for a speedy re-
covery of the three invalids.
