Rioht Way to Drop q Hook.

One of the most common faults Of
amateurs in the realm of seamanship
is to let go the anchor while the vessel
is still going ahead, says Outing. This
is not only sloppy and unseamanlike.
but II is very likely to involve one In

vessel settles back over her hook"
she is apt to catch a turn Of the an
chor-rope around fiuke or arm and
then the anchor will drag under at the
least provocation. The proper method
Of coming to anchor Is to round up to
the wind or tide according to which
is the controlling force), bring the
vessel to a stop. and even have slight
sternway on her before singing out

down fair and its chain or rope will
tail out straight as the vessel swings
of before the wind or tide.

WORDS, NOT DEEDS
A List of Some Threats ard
PLEDGES That Came to Naught.
To the Editor Of The Tribune.

To the Editor Of The Tribune.
Sir. That the patriotic editorials OF The
Tribune during the recent international crisis
have won the hearty approval Of all red
FLOODED Americans is shown beyond doubt by
the inspired contributions OF Conrad Hobbs
American Citizen and Charles Stewart Davi-
SON The last named says: "The public has
not forgotten the case Of the Lusitania. The
public has not forgotten the case Of the Or
duna The public has not forgotten the case
Of the Falaba" And so forth through the
whole lis. OF German submarine atrocities
which brought forth words but no deeds from
our peace-at-any-price administration.
Very true. The public has not forgotten
any Of these affairs Let me add: The pubic
has not forgotten the many injuries inflicted
upon Americans in Mexico while our govern
ment refused TO lift "A finger in their protec-
ton. The public has not forgotten our IN
glorious war with Mexico, in which nineteen
American lives were sacrificed TO no purpose
during the attack on Vera Cruz. The public
has no. forgotten the responsibility OF tho
Secretary of the Navy FOR the uniitness OF
our submarines and the deterioration OF our
gunnery, as disclosed by The Tribune's IN
vestigations The public has not forgotten
the scandals that were discovered IN connec-
ton with the appointments to our foreign
embassies and legations The public has not
forgotten the Simmons Underwood tariff law
and the business depression resulting there
from. in spite of our Presidents hypocrisy
in calling it purely psychological" and then
laying the blame on the European war. The
public has not forgotten the manner IN
which the planks Of the Democratic platform
have been redeemed.
The pledge TO increase our merchant ma
rine has been fulflled by passing the sea-
mems bill. which has already forced the Pa
cifc Mail Steamship Company out of bust
ness and will result in transferring the
ocean carrying trade Of the Pacific from
American 20 japanese bottoms. The pledge
TO make Civil Service appointments on merit
alone has been fulfilled by summarily remov-
ing all Republicans from Office and giving
their places TO deserving Democrats. The
pledge TO pass no tariff law except for reve-
nue. has been fulfilled by putting sugar and
raw materials on the free list, reducing the
revenue over Sl00.00O,0O0 The pledge TO es-
tablish rural credit system has been full
/ filed by forgetting all about It, The pledge
to practise economy in contrast 20 the Re
publican wastefulncss" has been fulfilled by
turning the 100000 surplus In the Treas
ury Mt the end Of the Taft administration into
an $50. 900 900 deficit at the adjournment Of
the G3d Congress last March.
Wilson says the Republicans haven't had a
new idea in thirty years. They have an idea
that he will March Fourth in 1917 and return
TO school teaching. CHARLES PARSONS.

England or Germany?
-difor Of The Tribune.

To the Editor Of The Tribune.
Sir: If | may be permitted TO intrude on
The Tribune's valuable space once more
would reply to my critic, W. c. Symons, by
saying that his arguments for England are
very weak Speaking of the latters interfer-
ence with neutral shipping, he says: There
are points involved which do not show them
selves on the surface" The largest point IS
probably the determination 10 suppress the
great opportunity the United States has now
10 build IN a large trade with neutral coun-
tries like Norway, Sweden and Denmark. But
these anglomaniac Americans can never see
anything but the fine friendship" of England
for America Any one who is not FOR the
Allies has only twisted and warped argu-
ments," and Germany IS a victim Of twisted
perversion."
hold no brief for Germany, nm an Aneri-
can of the third generation, and am Of
Scotch-Irish ancestry, but, 70 psraphra'e the
celebrated sentiment of General Lafayette:
"As soon as heard Of the German struggle
for independence my heart was enlisted.
England, France and Russia desire 70 crush
Germany, but they have reckoned without
their host. The progress of the world can
not be stopped. and those who cannot keep
an must fall behind. Those Certain rules Of
which your correspondent speaks, gave little
hope to Germany in view Of the past per
formances Of England in India, South Africa
and elsewhere.
The fine Machiavellian hand Of England
can be discerned in the great intrigue: Rus
STA and France TO attend to the German army
and England 70 her navy. After that Britain
was 10 enjoy the worlds trade without Sc
rious competition. But 42-cm. guns and a
reluctance "to come out" on the part OF the
Teuton navy spilled the beans.
In regard 70 the invasion Of Belgium, has
Mr.. Symons ever noticed how, like Banquo S
ghost, it will not down? Expressing 1t con
cisely. the Kaiser beat them 10 it, mean
ing France and England. Necessity knows
no law" and the great peril Of the German
Empire. threatened on three sides by the
most formidable powers of Europe, justified
the prompt measures Of Germany's generals
especially when Belgium was really an enemy
Speaking of might makes right that must
be one Of those "bromides" of F. p. A. II
might made right eight nations would have
conquered three long ago.
In conclusion, offer to exchange my Ger
man spectacles for his English ones, and per
haps one Of US will be a still better Ameri-
can. W. l. OobOhN'

Germany's Weakness.
Tor Of The Tribune.

To the Editor of The Tribune.
Sir: In casting about for the underlying
causes which brought about the world war
commercialism and the necessity for terri
torial expansion on the part OF the Germans
become more apparent as the struggle pro-
crosses. while the Allies are straining every
point 20 hold their possessions and if possible
strengthen their hold on land and sea- With
this clearly outlined at this stage Of the
struggle. the neutral countries are forced TO
choose their alliance either with the ag-
gressiye. arrogant Germans and the unspeak-
able Turk or the more peace loving and lib
eral policies Of England and France.
Should Germany succeed, II does not re-
ouire a prophet 20 foretel the disastrous ef-
feet on this country as well as all the other
republics and smaller kingdoms. and it is
worse than folly 10 cry peace when there is
no peace. Neither can there be until Ger
many finds that all her partial successes on
land will avail her nothing so long as she
is held in leash By the combined nayies OF
the Allies and her most cherished dream OF
control Of the seas is indefinitely baked,
forcing her in the end 10 an improbable
COMPROMISE and resultant loss OF the good
will and respect OF her former friends and
admirers. K. 7. y.

Complete the Barge Canal

One question 20 be submitted to the
voters next month can hardly, by any
stretch Of imagination, be deemed TO have
any politics in IT, That is the proposal
to authorize S27,OOO,O0O Of bonds to com
plete the barge canal. Business men Of
all parties are on record in favor Of this,
and now the Central Federated Union
has adopted a resolution advocating 1t.
This additional sum is made necessary
TO pay for increased lock capacity, for
damages awarded by the courts for prop
erty. riparian rights and the like, and for
the cost of new railroad bridges, which
the courts have imposed on the state If
the bond issue be not approved, the money
for these items will have to be raised by
legislative appropriations, necessitating
heavy direct taxation. The public orig
inally voted to pay for the barge canal
by bonds; the logical way, therefore, is
to finance this additional expenditure by
bonds. Il will be good business TO vote
yes on this question.

Vice-Presidents and the Second Cur
Habit.

Vice-President Marshall should not take
il as a reflection on his record or on MS
political availability that many Democrats
are figuring on drafting some one else to
he a running mate for President Wilson IN
1916. Mr.. Marshall is quoted IN dispatches
from Phoenix, Ariz, as expressing dispe-
lief that Mr.. Wilson said recently: II IS
unluckv to run the same team twice Mr..
Wilson NAV not have made that remark
But if he had made it he would simply
have been echoing the thought OF nearly
every other President who has been can
ddate for reelection.
Richard NJ. Johnson was chosen Vice
President in 1886 on the same ticket with
Martin Van Buren,. He was defeated as
Van BUren's associate in 1910. Since then
there has been but one instance in which
President and Vice-President have sought
reelection together. In 1912 James -
Sherman was renominated with William
II. Taft on the Republican ticket. But
Mr.. Sherman died before the Electoral Col
.lege met-even before the Presidential
election was held-and the electoral votes
intended TO be cast for him had to be cast
for a substitute designated by the Repub-
lican National Committee. Lincoln ran
with Hannibal Hamlin in 1860 and with
Andrew johnson in 1864. Grant ran with
Colfax in 1868 and with Wilson in 1872.
Cleveland ran with Hendricks in 1884 and
with Thurman in 1888. Harrison ran with
Morton in 1883 and with Reid in 1892. Nc
Kinley ran with Hobart in 1896 and with
Roosevelt in 1900.
Hendricks and Stevenson both ran for
the Vice Presidency twice. But each of
them was renominated after an interven-
ing term. 1t is, in fact, the rule of Ameri-
can politics not "to run the same team
twice" and as a student of American his
tory President Wilson is thoroughly ia
miliar with the embargo put by custom on
repeating candidates. for the Vice-Presi-
dency.
Mr.. Marshall may feel tempted to try
to lay a pet superstition regarding the
office which he now fills. Yet he would
do better to bow gracefully to precedent
He cannot easily dodge the logic Of his
own Jest that If some rival of Nobel should
offer a prize of $4,000 to the man "who
had done the least for humanity" the
Vice-President Of the United States would
easily distance all other aspirants in the
original competition. Senator "Jim Ham"
Lewis is a candidate for Mr.. Marshall's
post and title. 1t would be cruelty TO
deprive the public of the exhilaration
which would inevitably be derived from
a Jim-Hamesque campaign for Vice-Presi-
Dental honors.

"DELCASSE
Comment Of a Tribune Reader on
a Recent Editorial

To the Editor OF The Tribune.
Sir; II It is not "butting IN" should Ike
to congratulate The Tribune on recen. ed
torial.
That New York newspaper Is in posi-
ton 20 publish, Immediately upon the resigns
ton of the French Foreign Minister an ed
torial so illuminative, 80 just, and at the sane
time so thoroughly interesting as tina, In To-
days Tribune entitled "Delcasse" seems 70
me something that all more or less intels
gent newspaper readers should appreciate
and not silently.
There was a time when our American press
was frankly and unashamedly ignorant Of
European history and non-American politics
generally little was printed about foreigr
affairs, and of that little the less said the
better. We of America can never again
slump back into our ancient Ignorance and
contempt of foreign politics and PERSONAL
ties; whether or not we like it, we are living
in a larger world, a world whose distances
have. all the same, been abridged By tels-
graphs, cables, racing ocean liners, md
submarines. As citizens OF the world we need
news OF the world and Interpretation OF 'na'
news.
The Tribune editorial on Th6ophile Del
casse is to be remembered along with those
stunning editorials on Bastile Day and on me
Anniversary Of the Marine, which no reader IS
ever likely to forget. W y. bLAhE
