Woman's Work in War.
From The Manchester Guardian J


This was English Flag Day in Pctrograd
and Russian Flag Day in London. The
sellers in the streets put all the more heart
into their charitable wheeling in the cause
Of the wounded Russian soldiers because
they knew the Russian women were working
at the same hour for the British Red Cross
We have had a good many days" since war
began, but every one welcomed this chance Of
doing little for the Russian soldiers. whose
epic struggle has reused such intense admi-
ration and sympathy here. The buttonhole
flag, blue cross on a white ground. was
very commonly worn. The Speaker gave up
room in his house to the Australian women
collectors, and the Mansion House was in
possession Of a committee Of actresses, who
are acknowledged experts in these matters.
Even the street flower girls nobly encour-
aged the amateur competition and took flags
for themselves, giving in exchange a bunch
Of roses. Two and half million flags we're
sold in London before noon. Interesting ac-
counts Of the work of Russian women in the
war have been given by Nine. JarintzoF.
the author Of a wcll-known book on Russia
who has come over for Flag Day. She says
that every woman almost is working for the
wounded Women carry the broken soldiers
from the trenches TO place of safety on
their backs and risk their lives in fighting
typhus and disease. War service has
brought about a great change in the class Of
women known as ladies Of the regiment"
the wives of officers who formerly lived
luxurious and idle lives. The type, Nine
JarintzoG says, has disappeared and given
place to patriotic, earnest-minded women
busy with all kinds Of useful work for the
soldiers. The peasant women are co-operat-
ing in helping to send men to the front, TO
aid each other so that no family may feel it.
self left unfriended and to collect coppers
for the purpose Of buying papers. In remote
Siberian villages the women meet together
to hear the papers read Such a thing has
never been known before.

the judgment OF one man who has surrounded
himself with weak and inexperienced advis-
ers. Every one knows the Mexican policy has
been farce and has held us up to the con-
tempt of the world. We were cartOoned IN
every country where there were comic papers
Why should we put such perfect faith, then,
in the management of our present trouble? ?
Any schoolboy will tell you that we should
have broken with Germany as soon as the
Lusitania was sunk and declared an ending
IF diplomatic and commercial intercourse.
Dante had place in the very depths of hell
for those who were neutral in the great con-
test between righteousness and wickedness.
This is no time for dialectics or notes. We
should by an overt act declare to the world
where we stand. As Frederick Whitridge
says, I'VE have nothing but words, words
words"
We are wasting our time over notes and
bringing a deserved sneer from the nations
who, we hope, are destined to win.

To the Editor Of The Tribune.
Sir: know a man who has lived ten years
in Mexico. He states that whereas in the
past the Mexicans have stood in awe Of u.s.
thew now hold us in contempt. know man
who has Just returned from Germany He
states that the Germans hate the British but
they have a respect for them; that they hate
us and hold US in contempt
am not ashamed Of my country, for find
the voice of its people wise and patriotic
safer than that Of our ruler.
We are told that we must back up the Pres
ident. Why should one blndly do so If ones
judgment and that of those whom one meets
and respects is opposed TO the Presidents pol
icies? 1t would seem much better in crisis
20 hear the views of the opposition rather
than gamble with our destiny, leaving 1t to

He Would Corner a Cornetist.

To the Editor of The Tribune
Sir: There is new nuisance! Just as II
that we're possible! 1t appears every night
somewhere in the vicinity of ll2th Street
and Lenox Avenue. in the form of a cornet
blower. Several nights during the last few
weeks have been awakened by the melodious
accent on the last three syllables) strains
Of music. Last night l heard him blowing
again, and then still blowing at 2:l5 o'clock
in the morning. Every blow he aimed was
foul blow. Some day, or night, will muster
up my courage and clothes and issue forth
in pursuit Of sleep. | will hunt up the
wretch, place my left hand fondly upon the
back OF his head and my right upon the
front Of the cornet and then press both
hands until the cornet enters the blower

three gallons Of gasolene in the cornet. using
it for funnel, and to impress my generosity
upon him will drop in a few burning
matches to boot. Foul blowing cornet nut

Call an Extra Session.

To the Editor Of The Tribune.
Sir: How the German Kaiser and his min
listers must laugh to themselves at the rep
reservations of our President. They must
consider his notes great Joke, for they
know that they are in no more danger from
us at the present time than they are from
the man in the moon. Wilson's note on the
submarine outrages was admirable, but the
answer was contemplate, as we knew 1t
would be. Diplomatic representations to Ger
many at the present time will have no effect
unless they can be backed up by force,
and that we are in no shape TO do.
A German officer told an American short
time ago: 1--WE once thought yours was a
strong nation. Now we know better; we un-
derstand your weakness"
The President should call Congress to-
cether at once and proceed to remedy that
weakness.
When we get organized and placed in a po-
siton to defend ourselves against any pos
sible attack, then our Presidents notes to
other nations will be listened TO with re-
snoct W. Z.

A POSSIBLE PRECEDENT
England and France Broke Off Dip
lomatic Relations with Naples.

To the Editor Of The Tribune.
Sir: At this time when Italy and Austria
arc once more at war, when Germany is try
ing to force on the world the doctrine Of
government by force, when some In this
country wish the United States to give up it's
attitude Of a champion Of peace and enter the
mad and shameful conflict, the accounts Of
Italy's old fight for liberty become very much
alive and full Of interest. There were noble
ideals OF government and behavior bravey
asserted in those days.
G. NJ. Trevelyan, in his "Garibaldi and the
Thousand" says of Cavour; Believing in
civil and religious freedom to a degree un-
usual among Continental statesmen Of any
party, he regarded freely elected Parlaments
as the essential organ Of government, and
force as no remedy, except to repel the
stranger and the dcspot. Any fool, he said,
could govern by martial law. According to
him it was the business Of n statesman TO
govern by Parliament, not, indeed, obeying
every bchest of ignorant partsans and cor
rupt interests, but persuading the country
and the Chamber to take the right course,
by weight Of the authority due to wisdom,
knowledge ana experience lHIs lucoIb o'i
dom realized in any country, was the actual
method by which Cavour governed Piedmont
in the SOS. II he had lived to govern all
Italy in the same manner during the SOS
and 7O's. the country which he created
would have avoided many misfortunes.
And if then the example Of Cavour had been
preferred to that of Bismarck as the model
for the patriots and statesmen Of modern
Europe, the whole world would now be
better place than 1t is"
And those Americans who fear the break
ing off Of our diplomatic relations with Ger
many as a protest against her methods OF
warfare should read in the same book OF
the cruelty and injustice with which King
Ferdinand Of Naples treated the Italian pa
triots, and the indignation which 1t aroused
in France and England. FINALLY, in October,
1856, the two Western powers withdrew their
representatives from Naples for no reason
in tho world except that the King sturdy
refused to listen to our advice as TO his
method Of governing his own subjects This
action of Palmerston and Clarendon, though
it was shrewdly criticised by men Of the
world as being at once interfering and i'm
potent, had real effect in encouraging King
Ferdinands rebellious subjects, who saw IN IT
promise Of help and an official Endorsement
of Mr.. Gladstone's accusations" S. j. K.

certain skopticism and took the occasion
TO write one of his quasi-philosophical let
tiers. However, he wisely decided In the
end to restrict the sale Of frecrackers,
only stipulating that some special kind Of
celebration be provided in their stead.
The reform, undertaken apparently with
much apprehension, proved an immediate
success, and no one now would wish to
return to the barbarism Of former times.
The best of it is that wherever the new
wav Of celebrating has been introduced
it has been made ahundantly evident that
elaborate substitutes for noise and blood
shed are superhuous.

Up to the Housewives.

There can be just one useful outcome
Of the glorifcation of honest weights and
measures which is going on this week.
That is, the awakening of more house
keepers to the fact that it depends on
themselves whether they receive what they
pay for. So lamentably frail is human
nature, so prone to yield to the lure of
gold, that so long as crooked dealers can
with safety get the profits they steal by
way Of scant measures and short weights
they may be expected to take the cash and
let credit go. 1t is not within the posi-
bility of ofTicialdom to catch and convict
them all.
What Commissioner Hartigan and all
his inspectors can't do the housewives who
do the purchasing can accomplish. They
can be detectives, inspectors, jury and
Judge. They can test their purchases for
weight and volume. They can complain
to the authorities or complain to the dealer
If they find themselves victimized, just as
their previous experience warrants. They
can tell their neighbors and friends about
the honest dealers, and louder and more
emphatically about the dishonest dealers.
The short weighter is miserable, sneak
ing crook, He will live within the law if
he has to. Purchasers have the power to
compel any merchant to be honest-or
go out Of business. If they won't protect
themselves, all the work and ability of the
city and state departments of Weights and
Measures can't thoroughly protect them.
That must be the lesson of this week.

The Duty of Preparedness.

It was a pertinent question that Mr.
Henry /. Stimson put TO his audience at
Carnegie Hall last night, when, recalling
the action Of Holland and Switzerland
upon the invasion Of Belgium, he asked:
is our standard of duty different from
that which has guided these other neutral
countries? Is the right which in our case
has been violated less important than the
right which in their case was only threat
ened?"
There is no way of evading the answer
by pleasant generalities about the desir-
ability Of securing settlements by amicable
means. When Switzerland and Holland
proceeded instantly TO mobilize their
troops it was not for purposes of aggres-
sion, but only TO safeguard the rights Of
neutrality and to insure the immunity Of
their own citizens. 1t was clear at once
that neither government would omit any
act necessary TO the performance Of this
sacred duty. That Germany could not
reasonably expect the United States to be
less Jealous Of its rights is self-evident,
vet surely it is no less evident that the
United States was unable to adopt to the
same degree what Mr.. Stimson calls the
policy Of temperate firmness. AS Switzer-
land and Holland at the very outbreak of
the war fastened to prepare for the worst,
so with us practically not one step has
been taken except to advertise to the world
our impotence"
That we are indeed utterly unprepared
is lamentable truth that can by no means
be controverted. But it is a truth that
has long been recognized and still nothing
is done. Last autumn the Secretary Of
War made strong yet modest appeal to
Congress urging certain obvious reforms
intended to meet the most glazing defcieH-
cies of our army. There was nothing new
in his discoveries; they had all been made
before, and the faults he spoke Of were
recognized by every one. Yet Congress
refused TO act, and adjourned without
taking the least notice of any Of his rec
concentrations. Our navy has been neg
lected in like manner. In short, as Mr..
Stimson says, our past action or want Of
action is enough to justify the belief chat
we do not really mean to protect our
rights"
It would be contrary to all human ex-
perience to suppose that our rights will be
respected while we are practically unable
to stand up for them. And if we really
do mean to stand up for them the only
way is to prepare for whatever emergency
may arise. The Peace and Preparation
Conference with the War Exhibition shouid
serve to stir up the public to a realization
of our needs, but it would be a serious
mistake to look upon it merely as an coca
sion for more talk The Importance Of
prompt decision and action was insisted
upon by Mr.. Stimson last night. Our
weaknesses are already well known; it Is
only a question Of falling to and building
up our national defence. And this can be
done by the people and their representa-
tives in Congress. It is upon them that
the responsibility rests. We have had
enough talk: now is the time to act,
