pretence that he was defending interna-
t:onal law and protecting the rights Of
neutrals, when, in fact, he was merely
issuing notes and uttering high sounding
phrases, which bore no relation 10 any
actual fact and were designed to cover
with rhetoric a total lack of purpose or
tolicy. This has been the thing which
has Inundated Americans at home and
abroad; this has been the thing that has
lowered American estate in the eyes OF
the world This has been the most shame
ful single circumstance in the most
shameful chapter in American history.
If the Republican party undertakes to
profit by Mr.. Wilson's weakness by merely
negative tactics, if it adopts Mr.. Will
sons methods, while assailing his results.
if it lacks the courage and the conviction
to speak squarely and unequivocally and
to adopt a policy of action, then it will
share the dishonor of the Democratic
party, it will have no right to appeal to
the country on the strength of Mr.. Will
sons failures, and it will fail as COM
rletely in its duty as has the Democratic
party.
The Tribune believes the American peo-
pie are tired of sham sentiment, of cow
erdly political evasion, Of the policy which
sacrifices American lives and forgets
American dead because it is "too proud to
fight" 1t believes the American people
will respond to courage, to leadership and
action based on conviction and carried
forward by a determination to perform
the patent duty whatever the cost.
If the Republican party and the Repub-
lean leaders are too weak, too cowardly,
too much politicians and too little patriots
to measure up to the present situation.
they will not win the next election and
they will not deserve to win it. They
will not regain public confidence and
esteem and they will not merit either. If
they do not dare now TO act, they will not
be able hereafter to indict President
and a party who fed the same duty with
similar cowardice.
The Tribune has attacked the Demo-
cratic administration because it believes
it was unpatriotic. 1t will not hesitate
to attack Republicans for similar offences.
This newspaper is Republican, but it is
American a long time before it is Repub-
Iican, and it believes that in the present
hour the issue and the duty are too plain
and too, great to excuse party or a.
newspaper if it fails to contribute what it
can to restoring to American life and
American policy the vitality and the cour-
age which belong to the great periods of
our history.

A Duty to Perform.
itor of The Tribune.

To the Editor of The Tribune.
Sir: Congratulations on your editorial,
"The Moral Crisis of the War;" as reprinted
in Buffalo Evening News of this date.
The United States, it is very evident, has a
duty TO perform. We can ut the strangle
hold on Germany and, think, we ought to do
so, especially as we can stop this war without
cost, trouble or danger and without offending
any civilized power. Germany gets out Of
France Russia, Belgium and Serbia and stays
out. RODERlCk ii. SMITH.

Civilian Control in Naval Matters.

Lord Charles Beresford did not miss
the opportunity offered by Mr.. Churchilps
apology on the occasion Of his retirement
from the ministry. 1t is an old complaint
of his that the current system of admin
istration at the British Admiralty is es-
sentially vicious, and Mr.. Churchill's eff
fort to clear himself of responsibility in
matters relating to naval disposition and
strategy left certain points sufficiently
doubtful to afford q pretext for criticism
on this score.
AS a sailor Lord Charles Beresford OBJ
jects, naturally, TO civilian control of the
Board of Admiralty. But it is not merely
on that account that he finds fault with
the present system. His contention is that
the board ought to be board in reality
as well as in name, and as such respon-
sible to King and Parliament. So it was
half a century ago, but in 1869 its colec-
tive responsibility was done away with,
and the First Lord to-day has far more
authority than he had in the past
1t was commonly supposed at the time
Of Lord Charles Beresford's resignation,
in 1888, that his action was determined
mainly by the opposition he encountered
in the establishment Of an effective war
staff. In his speech the other day he in
timated that the position Of the board was
the real point at issue. 1t is probable that
the two conditions were interdependent.
The power now welded by the First Lord
is consequence of the opposition of the
sea lords to a reduction in the naval esti-
mates forty-six years ago. Mr.. Gladstone
by an Order in Council deprived the board
of collective responsibility, and since then
the civilian head, with general direc-
ton of all business" has had virtual con-
troll over all of his colleagues.
There was much laughter in the House
when Lord Charles Beresford condemned
the new system as productive Of panics,
adding chat there had been five panics
in his time and he was instrumental in
getting up some Of them" But his mean
ing was clear enough. What he evidently
objects TO is the necessity Of frightening
the public into making proper prepare
tions, the necessity of producing occa-
sional panics in order to keep the navy
UT to a reasonable pitch Of efficiency. The
panics which he was instrumental in pro-
voking, were, therefore, in his opinion
merely the natural consequence of letting
H. n,,bIic Lpo,u tho truth
The duty Of the First Lord was orig
inally to make known the will Of the Cab-
net. The sea lords business was TO de-
termine whether their proposals were
practicable. and il so by what means they
could be carried out. The politicians were
then at liberty TO decide whether or not
10 follow their advice, but neither the
First Lord nor any of the others could
override the sea lords on technical points.
Whether Mr.. Churchill did 80 or not on
any OF the several occasions that gave rise
70 the recent controversy is still doubtful

Consolation from Poetry.
,e Editor Of The Tribune.

To the Editor of The Tribune.
Sir: Professor Christian Gauss the other
night told us that principle reason for the
English indifference to the poetry Of Byron
is that they 20 to poetry for consolation, and
Byron is the only one who insists that good
ness will not prevail without a struggle. Is
this not the keynote OF the 1916 "line-up?"
To Bryan, Wilson e. CO.. the frightened
folk will flock for consolation while under
the banner of Theodore Roosevelt, who has
what Byron lauded. "the inherent dignity OF
an energetic personality will assemble the
tried and true, old-fashioned up-to date
Americans. A. A. GlLLEN.

fused to answer his criticism. But the
point made by Lord Charles Beresford Is
ncontrovertble- that it is still
in the power of the First Lord to do SO.
And it is against that power that he pro-
tests.

New York, Aug. 2O.-Metropolitan
newspapers of the east, in editorial ex-

ustion Is serious, full information

Expressions Of the New York Times

east The Times said;
1t should be plain, even to war-mad
Germany, that friendly relations can
not continue if these intolerable wrongs
continue to be perpetrated.
New York World: mo verdict can
be pronounced until all evidence is re.

serious.

the Arabic was torpedoed without warn

question is of doing, not talking. We
