Present a United Front.
To the Editor Of The Tribune.


Sir: Your editorial in The Tribune this
morning illustrates q weakness in our re-
publican form of government In a very
critical hour, when our nation is making
very serious demands of the very strongest
nation on earth and when it finds. itself con-
fronted with grave difficulty in making the
German government understand that we are
dead in earnest, have you allowed politics
and the proximity of the national election
to disturb the equilibrium of your editorial
utterances? Hitherto you have urged the
Importance of a united support of our Pres
ident. Is it not little premature to aban-
don such an attitude? While we are ex-
pecting a message from Germany at any
moment, is it not playing the Bryan act to
criticise the President, our national spokes-
man, at this juncture?
Politics can wait. | have too much con-
fdence in The Tribune to believe that it
will abandon its patriotic course of inspir-
ing popular confidence in the man at the
helm, who has proved himself worthy. Let
US prove that even a republic, with its party
politics, can present a united front in the
hour of need. c. WALKER HAYES.

Let Us Be Silent.
TO the Editor Of The Tribune.

To the Editor Of The Tribune.
Sir: In this locality the voice Of the ven
Grated Horace Greeley was respected as an
oracle and The Tribune is read, marked
learned and inwardly digested.
1t is a sad disappointment TO find its lead
ing editorial headed "An Inconceivable BLUM
der" and TO read such statement as this:
diplomatic relations with Germany are
henceforth impossible"
If it cannot plead for patriotic support
for the President and his Cabinet in these
critical times the oracle should be dumb.
Any utterance like the editorial "Deliber
ately Unfriendly" has a widespread demon
alizing influence, as the letters signed by
John Larkn," Malcolm Francis JOY" and
"E. V. H." clearly indicate.
Permit me TO commend you for printing
the letter headed THE Example of Amer
lea" signed by M. Abraham" as it may neu-
trslize in some degree the "blunder" into
which you were led when you published the
cartoon headed "The Cost of Friendship.p
1t may be unwise 10 use the right of free
speech in making this protest against the
exercise OF such liberty of the press. hut
forbearance sometimes ceases to be virtue
May | appeal through you for continued
patience, confidence and loyal sympathy for
the President and all in authority, that they
may use the knowledge Of affairs in their
charge with wisdom in this awful emergency
As we were prepared in 1875 and 1912, so
are we now if we maintain our sef-controi
and as individuals and communities speak
words of peace or remain silent.
God save the United States and give its
rulers wisdom to seek in "quietness and con-
fdence" strength to remain neutral and to
avoid rocking the boat"

Limitation of Building Heights.

The proposal pending before the Consti-
tutional Convention giving the Legislature
power to delegate to municipalities the
right TO create zones for different classes
Of buildings and to regulate the height
and uses Of buildings is of great impor-
lance to this city particularly. 1t is the
opinion of many municipal experts and
builders that the housing problem and the
problem of caring for various classes Of
business can never be satisfactorily settled
here until the city authorities have such
powers. 1t is the belief Of many charita-

Our Lack of Nerve.

To the Editor of The Tribune
Sir: The German government has time
and again demonstrated by word md act that
1t is absolutely without sense of honor
and cannot in the slightest degree be trusted.
In an admirable editorial on the sinking Of
the Arabic you recognized with absolute truth
that the German government is outside the
pale OF civilization, so why in the name Of
common sense do you talk of continued rela-
tons with such crowd?
Borrow little of the consistent nerve
Of such true Americans as Theodore Roose-
welt and Colonel Watterson and steady up.

New Stage Types.
Prom The Manchester Guordio,

From The Manchester Guordiar)
War jokes on the music hall stage are q
rather dreary business, about as perfunctory
and ungenial as the dutiful laughter or ap-
plause which greets them. One piece Of war
business" however, has proved fairly popu-
lar, and no up-to-date revue is complete with.
out it. This is the Big and Little Willie
joke. The queer thing about the jest is that,
after the two grotesque figures have both ex-
hibited their "frightfulness" to the fullest
extent, Little Willie invariably turns on his
father with an Iron Cross or some other un
insult Centuries hence, perhaps
these may be traditional figures Of our conf,
stage, like Clown and Pantaloon, still playing
out their eternal satire to audiences that have
forgotten its tragi-comic significance.

fruits may not have been brought to a
successful harvest, accomplished its ex-
cellent purpose. 1t answered the demand
of the young heart for something to make
grow, at least for little while, in Gods
good mellow earth. 1t turned the young
heart TO the open, and with the blue sky
and the burgeoning shoot slaked its thirst
for some part in natures creative plan.
While it lasted it was all to the good,
that little garden. We may look at It's
ruins with composure. Its fruit is in the
future.

Sir: | have just been reading your leader

BIG CIRCUS COMING
THIS WAY SOON

The Barnum and Bailey Greatest
Show on Eearth will exhibit at Van
Vert on Wednesday, June 2, and this
good news is being heralded every
where by the many agents of this,
the biggest and foremost amusement
institution in the world. The Bar
mum and Bailey Circus has always
been the largest that travels and this
season the management has found it
necessary to add many more cars to
their trains in order to provide for
the great equipment. 1t requires 85
double length railroad cars to trans
port the big show 1880 people are
employed. 700 horses, 40 elephants
and a menagerie of 10 cages, 480
world famed artists take part in the
greatest circus program this world
has ever known.
A fitting introduction to the Won
derful performance this year, is the
presentation of the new, magnificent
spectacular pageant, "Lallah Rookh"
in which nearly 1000 characters take
part.
In the circus proper, which is pre-
sented in three rings, -four stages, the
hippodrome and in the dome of the
largest tent ever erected, 4SO per
formers from every nation i'm the
world take part and present vast
array of foreign features entirely
new to America. A wonderful exhi-
bition of trained animals is given by
the Marvellous War Elephants, Pal
Wonder Bears, Madam
Bradna's Angel Horses, Thaleros'
Dogs, Ponies and Monkeys, and the
Barnum and Bailey Statute Horses.
Great interest is already being
shown in this neighborhood and
great crowds will no doubt go to Van
Vert for the biggest and most en-
joyable holiday of the year. Every
one is advised to get an early start
in order to be there in time for the
parade which starts promptly at 10
a. m, and which is said to eclipse
anything if its kind ever before at
in the history of circus bus
