,From The Westminster Gc.c''e)
Advices from Germany have made known
the fact that Eugen dhlbert, the famous
pianist, has become an Austrian citizen. The
problem Of d'Albprts nationality has long
been q subject Of controversy. For while it
is an unquestionable fact that he was actu-
ally born at Glasgow and received the first
part OF his musical training in London. it
is a matter Of common knowledge that he
long ago repudiated the notion that he could
be ranked on this account as a Briton. I'm
like Gilbert's patriotic sailor. in spite Of all
temptations to remain an Englishman, he
has Professionally and passonately professed
his allegiance TO another nation.

Ireland's Grievance.

To the Editor Of The Tribune.
SIR In reply TO Mr.. Longshoreman and
others about Ireland, it seems strange that
while thousands of Irish want to do their
duty toward their country and fight so brave
ly at the front the Irish in this country
should unite themselves with the Germans
and try to harm England. First of all, they
forget that if they belonged to Germany or
France they would not nave any chance at
all to emigrate. They would be shot before
as they would have to fight whether they
would or not. The English government must
not be so bad after all.
Ireland is still sore at England, who van
pushed her seven hundred ye rs ago; but
her story is the story of all countries Are
they not all formed from parts taken to
other countries after war? Now for her
suferings! Other countries had theirs, too.

German News and British Censorship

That troublesome inquistOr, Sir Arthur
Markham, failed to draw from the Home
Secretary a direct answer to the ques-
ton: "Why should we have to get the
truth from American Newspapers" But
he did succeed in securing some informa-
ton about the policy of the censor in deal
ing with German news. Sir John Simon
answered that "the Press Bureau ex-
ercised censorship over German wireless
news only when it contained statements
that were obviously false"
In the early days of the censorship the
Press Bureau occasionally suffered some
wild stories to be published on the very
same pretext; but let that pass. The i'm
portant point is that determination of the
obviously false" allows much latitude to
the judgment and discretion of the Off
cial editors, and to believe that they are
wholly unbiased or invariably just in the
selection of truth would be to credit them
with an infallibility seldom granted to
any official agency out of the German
Empire.
It is possible, however, to single out
some messages that might be stopped on
their way through England without the
world suffering any very serious loss.
One Of these which has at last leaked
through to us by way of Sayville tells of
what the German submarines have done
to the British navy. We are asked to
believe that since the beginning of the
war the commanders of the U-boats have
been so active that they have actually
contrived to sink no fewer than twenty
"ships of the first battle-line of the
British feet"
This surprising piece Of news was first
made public in a Stockholm paper, with
the remark that it was "arxiously kept
secret by the British Admiralty, which
was fearful OF a considerable decrease in
the superiority of the British fleet over
the Germans Nor can the British Ad-
miralty be blamed for showing a certain
apprehension. After the loss of twenty
battleships even the most incorrigible
optimist would be very apt to fear
that in time the decrease might come
to be considerable" What cannot
be so easily accounted for is the igno-I

but yet do not suk hundreds Of years for
them 1t would be just the same IL Protes-
.ants in France would say to-day: Let US
remember the Saint Bartholomew Day mas
sacre of 1872, when we were murdered by
thousands" The priests, sisters, mobiles, roy
alists could say also: 1--WE cannot forget the
Revolution of 1890, when We we're sent TO
the scaffold by hundreds every day"
Without going so far, let us think OF a
few years ago and what happened 20 the
monks and nuns, They were not chased from
France, as people say, but were not allowed
to live in converts together. Now, those who
thought they could do just as much good
giving up their costume and convent life did
it and continued 10 do good on earth as much
as they could. French people are getting 70
be good Catholics again, we hear. Well, |
think we owe it more 70 the good example
OF priests and sisters, who are helping France
now, instead o. saying as some say here:
That's just what France gets for sending
away the priests and sisters"
Mr. Longshoreman calls the government
Of France sacrilegious What will he say
of those who took the priests as hostages
and killed many Of them and nuns also?
Probably Mr.. Longshoreman does not be-
leve it, but six weeks ago, in the French
church on Twenty-third Street, New York,
a young Belgian priest, who had been taken
as hostage himself by the Germans, was
telling US of the German atrocities and, as
he said. not of those he had heard, but Of
those he had seen himself.
believe if the Irish had not been against
England in her times of troubles they would
have got much more trust and freedom from
her. A FRENCH LADY.

New York City VS.. Upstate.

According to Secretary Of State Hugo,
the state census returns indicate total
population of 100000, of which the
metropolis contributes 5,250000. In the
Federal census Of 1910 the state was
credited with 9,113,614 inhabitants, of
which number 4,766,883 were allotted to
New York City. On that basis this city
now harbors half a million souls more than
all the territory upstate" a gain of
100000 over the lead in population cred
tied to it by the Federal census five years
ago.
With the knowledge that the metropolis
is bound to increase this lead in popula-
ton over all the rest of the state, with the
knowledge that it contributes far more
than half the funds for state government,
Of which little benefits this city directly,
taxpayers here cannot take joyfully the
decision Of the Constitutional Convention
to continue discrimination against the city
in legislative representation. They can
not wrest any contentment out of the state
ment that because there has been discrim-
nation against the city since 1777 it is
right that discrimination should continue.
They cannot even find comfort in the argu-
ment that thousands on thousands of the
people here are neither citizens nor tax
payers, for the fact remains that any rent
payer in this city is a taxpayer, even
though indirectly. And the discrepancy
between the voting population Of the 23d
Assembly District of New York County
and that Of Schuyler or Putnam or Yates
County is sufficiently striking to vitiate
the contention that on citizenship popula-
ton alone there are not glaring discrimina-
tons against the city.
Heretofore the distribution of legislative
has bothered New York
City little. The city has suffered at the
hands of upstaters who dominated the law
but there has never been so seri-
Gus a situation as that which laid on New
York this year a heavy and unnecessary
state tax That tax, when it has TO be
provided for out of the city treasury, will
be wellnigh disastrous. Real estate here
now is taxed far over its market value in
many instances. For its own legitimate
running expenses the city is burdened al
most to the point Of exhaustion. To pro-
vide for this state tax will mean, there
fore, forced curtailment of some valua-
BILE forms of municipal activity-and the
people here are not going TO take such
deprivation lightly.
The Constitutional Convention thinks it
has settled the question of legislative dis
This city will refuse to be-
ieve that it is settled until the new con-
is drafted and adopted or re-
jected. New York has no desire to domi-

Anarchy Advertising Itself.

It seems pretty we'll established that
the bomb exploded at Police Headquarters
represented an attempt to advertise what
might be called Professional Anarchy.
The bomb is the political tool of the an
archst agitator, just as it is the CONNER
cial tool Of the Black Hand extortionlst'
The Black Handler wastes no energy try
ing to make war on the police. lie Is OuSy
enough striking terror into the hearts OF
those whom he has marked as proiltaole
victims.
The little circle Of preachers of anarchy
cannot maintain its prestige with Its dupeS
unless it occasionally inspires some more or
less dramatic deed of lawlessness sort
Of lawlessness in which greed is not an ele-
ment. Hence explosions like those in the
Bronx County Court House and at Police
Headquarters. These outrages represent
n defiance of the existing order But COM
ING from n group which constitutes only
an infnitesimal portion of the community
they are hardly more of threat to pup
lie security than are the sporadic acts OF
q similar nature due to purely individual
arrangement.
The professional anarchist to-day is a
meaner and smaller figure than he was
thirty years ago, in the time of Most ana
the Haymarket massacre. Then there
was a larger element here ready to listen
to and apply the doctrine Of destruction
Now anarchism is losing its hold the world
over. because very few serious preachers
of revolt are willing to content themselves
with it's primitive emptiness and narrow
ness.
Our little anarchist community is more
bent on self-exploitation nowadays than
it is on a real war against society. 1t is
sign of growing caution and sophlstlca-
ton on it's part that it blows up buildings
instead Of taking human life. The risk is
less and the notoriety is equally satisfying.

army; all occupation of territory else was
Of no avail. In 1914, in the campaign in
France, Napoleon defeated the several in
vading armies one after another. But he
failed TO destroy them. When he turned
from one to another, the beaten army
rallied and returned.
AS the last month OF the first year
opens, then, it is clear Germany has no.
where achieved n decision over any enemy
and nowhere seems to have decision
within her grasp. AS for any evidence
of WEAKNESS on the part of her foes, not
even the Germans claim this, and the COM
Ing Of Italy shows what the Italian states
men who risked their nations fortune on
the throw actually thought. But one Of
these things must happen or Germany will
ultimately be beaten, not in one year, per-
haps not in five. This is a question Of
arithmetic, Of men. money, ammunition.
Twice, once before Paris, once about LODI,
the decision was within Germany's grasp,
but she missed it; she seems to have missed
a third time in Galicia, and in the mean
time acquired new enemy; instead of
decision, eliminating one great power, she
has had to face a diplomatic defeat bring
ing in a fourth great power.
Napoleon and Frederick the Great both
faced great coalitions possessing better
armies and themselves superior generals,
but with resources and numbers against
them. Napoleon succumbed to the last
coalition because he could not obtain a
decision against one nor make terms with
one Frederick was saved in the hour of
deadiest peril because the death of Rus
sian sovereign removed Russia from the
battle line of his foes. The South in the
Civil War; against great odds, won vic
tories that prolonged the contest, but
could not win a decisive victory. Thus in
the end numbers and resources told. In
all three cases the lesson is the same.
We Americans will also do well in judg-
ing German official and public opinion to
remember that with some justice Germans
believe that American ammunition is con-
tributing to prevent the attaining Of the
decision. Ultimately France, Great Brit
ain, Russia and Italy VIII be able to dis
lance Germany and Austria in the produc-
ton Of ammunition. But thanks to her
foresight Germany had the advantage at
the start, still retains it. By this ad-
vantage she plainly hoped to obtain a de-
cision. But if American ammunition
bridges the gap, keeps the Allies supplied
until they have modified their industry,
then, IN a sense, American ammunition
has saved the Allies.
More than this, later, when Germany
begins to feel the shortage of men, she will
have to keep many thousands in the fac
tories to make ammunition, while the
American production will release French
and British, Russian and italian soldiers
to work in the trenches. PROFESSIONALLY
the Germans have cried out long in adj
vance Of real injury. The volume of
American ammunition actually exported
as yet amounts to nothing, but unless the
export is prevented it may be deciding
factor year or two hence, and Germany
thinks in terms Of the future.
