Arms Embargo Unneutral.

To the Editor of The Tribune.
Sir: There has recently been quietly post
ed in a number of places notably in clubs
Of women-a document inviting subscribers
to petition to the President of the United
States to prohibit the sale Of munitions of
war to belligerents
This document is headed Organization Of
American Women for Strict Neutrality and
is signed by a number Of ladies OF Balti-
more
The majority Of readers of this document
would not he likely 10 perceive that such an
injunction would not be neutrality at all.
but a very distinct pro-German movement.
President Wilson pointed this out some time
ago. when the Germans we're openly clamor-
ing for such a move on the part of the
United States government.
Neutrality consists in a government not
taking sides with belligerents. II it inter
fe~es with the business of private individ-
uals II departs from neutrality and allies it
self with one or other of the belligerent par
ties. In this case it would be very plain
which
Germany has announced that she does
not need munitions Of war; that she is plen-
sourccs-indeed. with Engand's effective
blockade she could not get them over; there
fore any enactment to prohibit sales Of
munitions of war to belligerents' would
mean cutting of supplies to the Allies only,
thereby playing directly into the hands OF
the Germans.
One does not doubt the good faith of the
ladies Of Baltimore but in these troublous
times one is led to search deeper for causes.
Who is the deus ex machna behind this and
kindred ripples Of excitement?
Tho document puts forth its plea "for hu-
manitarian reasons but at few lines below
the cloven hoof peeps out in the statement
that Germany did not permit her citizens
TO sell arms or munitions Of war TO Spain
during our war with that nation" In point
Of fact, the Spanish war was too brief and
rapidly over for any one to 90 abroad for
supplies.
VIII you not take this matter up edi-
torially?
Germany has perpetrated so many tricks
upon America tho passport fraud the lat
est-that u is as well to be upon ones guard.
I'm any case IL is expedient 20 point out 20
possible siPners OF such documents that
every person who signs commits him or
herr self TO the advocacy not of neutrality
but of a very great breach of neutrality.
War is horrible, and we all wish it end
ed but Americans should remember that the
cause Of the Allies is the cause of America;
is the cause Of humanity, because it is the
cause of the liberties Of the world J. d.

independence Day.

The United States has been an indie
pendent nation politically for 139 years.
And for many more years than that Amer
leans have possessed their own individu-
.ality of type, their own point Of view and
way of doing things-their fundamental
independence. The Declaration Of indie
pendence may seem to some, therefore, no
longer a vital document, no longer a need
full iteration of an obvious condition.
And this would be true if now, as on
July 4, 1916, we had but one mother coun-
try to impress with our ability and desire
to shift for ourselves. England many
years ago very wisely curbed her inclina-
ton to regard us still in the light of colo
malls She learned her lesson early, and
we have got along with her amiably for
the most part ever since, as grOwn-up
children always do with the parent who
settles back to mountaineering observa-
ton of their idiosyncrasies.
We have in the mean time, however, ac-
quired half a dozen more parent nations.
And at least one of the newer ones ap-
pears strangely inclined to dictation. 1t
is the Fatherand, as some term it, the
thought of which to-day should galvanize
into life for Americans that famous old
declaration signed, sealed and enforced so
many years ago, a declaration not only Of
political liberty but Of Americanism which
brooks no hyphens, Of nationalism which
excludes those colonial at heart. Let us
have no n re colonials in our midst.

Ireland and the Allies.
To the Editor Of The Tribune.

10 lUt LulbOI VI Inc AlAbAHCs
Sir; In reply to the letter OF "Longshore-
man" wish to say that he takes a very
narrow view of the situation in regard to
Irelands participation in the war in Europe.
The troubles Of Ireland are not be com
pared with the terrible effect among nations
of broken treaty rights, the tearing to pieces
Of international obligations, the invasion Of
Belgium and all the horrors that accompa-
MED it, as well as all disregard for the rights
Of non-combatants travelling on board mer-
chant ships, but "Longshoreman" seems to
forget all these in trying to make out =
use for those Irishmen who refuse to par
ticipate in the struggle that England anu
her allies are waging for the cause OF justice
and humanity.
In regard to Ireland never having received
a free and generous concession from Eng
land it is only necessary to mention such
laws as Catholic emancipation. disendow-
ment of the English Church in Ireland. fair
rents, free sale and fxity of tenure for the
tenant farmers, lsborers' cottages, old age
pensions, an elective franchise for all male
householders and lastly, the Home Rule bill,
Wnlcn Long cuOitUldH btllbNLtos bul NAANAi
will no doubt when in actual operation prove
a great boon TO lreland's national existence
If we consider the attitude of the British
government in relation to the religious side
of the question we will find that all the re-
sources of the United kingdom are being
used for the purpose Of freeing Catholic
Belgium from the despotism of the military
government Of Germany. Therefore, nc
Irishman need be ashamed to give his whole
hearted sympathy 70 John Redmond and the
members Of the Irish Nationalist Party, who
have pledged their support to the British
government in its determination 20 continue
the war until those who are responsible fol
the horrors perpetrated in Belgium and the
devastation OF the fair fields Of France are
driven back within their own borders and
are made to realize that international laws
are not to be lightly turned aside and tha;
treaty obligations are not to be broken with
impunity. J. j. b.

their military establishments with view
TO determining later the still unsettled
question OF superiority. A peace on such
terms would be far more costly TO Europe
and 10 the rest of the world than con
tinuance Of the present struggle till one
group is dccisivcly beaten.
II is clear that mediation on our part
is not now desired by either set OF bel
igerents. We have had too sharp a CON
troversy with Germany TO be accepted un-
hesitat,ngly by the German government
as a peacemaker. Even in France and
Great Britain there is no great disposl-
ton TO command our services.
In a recent article in lie Figaro NJ
Gabriel Hanotaux, former Minister of
Foreign Affairs. discussing the last Amer
lean note to Germany, wrote;
It is said that President Wilson is pre-
pairing for the hour when he will be abe
to present himself TO the bclligcrents as an
arbiter. and that he is keeping on terms with
both parties because he wants TO assure HIM
self ut that moment Of their common conn
dcnce. Well, if that is his goal fear that
he is turning his back on it. Without tax
ing into account that the Intervention Of
neutral powers at the end Of conflict so
terrible is hardly probable, it is not an ex-
cess Of feeblcness and fnesse that will give
any power the authority and the prestige
necessary to speak decisively and to make
the right prevail.
Our services are not being sought by
the powers at war. and there is no good
reason why we should attempt to thrust
our good Offices upon them. We may be
called upon eventually to do a great work
for humanity by ending the war. But IT
would be folly TO try to end it before the
combatants themselves realize that it IS
time for them to stop fighting.

America as Mediator.

We publish to-day in the Special Feat
ure Section of The Tribune an ardent ap-
peal for American mediation in the Euro
pean war by British Radical leader, Mr.
+. d. Morel. Mr.. Morel has Socialist af-
iiations and belongs to the small anti
war group of British politicians in which
Mr. Ramsay Macdonald is a leading hg-
ure. He speaks, therefore, for an ncon-
siderable minority of the British people
and rejects the view, held by most French
Radicals and Socialists and shared by the
majority of Radicals in other countries,
that in a fight to a finish against German
militarism lies the only hope for Europe
Of lasting peace and democratic progress.
Mr.. Morel urges President Wilson TO
stop the war by ascertaining on what
terms the two groups of belligerents are
willing to make peace and then trying TO
act as Intermediary in conducting peace
negotiations. Yet at the same time he ad-
mits the difficulty-f not the impossible
ity-of this mediatory task by saying that
the peoples Of Europe now at war are
not ready for peace-that "no force which
either the belligerent peoples or their gov
ernments can evolve will arrest the mad
ness which is destroying civilization
But if this is 5o-if peace must now be
imposed by influences from Outside-it
would seem that the time for mediation is
not yet ripe. AS The Tribune said the
other day, it is much easier to go to war
than it is TO restore peace To give up
war often requires enormous sacrifices
which no nation is willing to make until
it reaches the point Of exhaustion, at
which it ceases to care very much about
the terms on which peace can be pur-
chased.
The European belligerents have not yet
reached that stage, and even if they were
to agree to restore the Gntc-belllm status
they would have TO maintain and enlarge

No Militants Here.
.ditor Of The Tribune.

To the Editor of The Tribune.
Sir: Is il quite fair Of the ants and the
press to refer to the activities Of any suifra-
gsts in America as militant?
According 70 the Century Dictionary, mill
tant is derived from "militare," meaning TO
serve as a soldier, and means lighting, war
ring engaged in warfare pertaining to war
fare or conflict and having cOmbatiye char
acter or tendency. warlike.'
As no American suffragist has ever been
known to use lawless. destructive or violent
methods. the word militant" except in its
metaphorical sense does not apply. And es-
peclally since the recent use Of the word as
applied 70 English "m.litants" refers to their
acts of destruction and not to their radical
political policies.
The Standard Dictionary defines militant"
as engaged in or pertaining 10 fighting, as
the church militant" But it IS fair TO as
sumo that in so describing suffragists our
opponents do not use the word A. this exalted
sense!
Looseness in terms leads to confusion in
ideas, and the public has been seriously mis-
led. The creae mass OF people who are UNI
informed on the sub ject may believe that in
some parts Of the country there have been
violent acts which have led 20 the use OF this
word militant as applied in America. Hap
PLY such is not the case.

gagged in purchasing and forwarding
military supplies to Great Britain. But
where is the campaign Of intimidation and
attempted murder TO stop? The man who
tried to blow up the Capitol could have
found an equal Indictment in the war sup
plies embargo agitation TO attempt to
assassnate the President and the mem
bcrs of his Cabinet
The latest issue of THE Fatherland,'
dated July :, contains this notice, served
on the administration 1T is proposed
that the same set of resolutions Chose
adopted at the recent meeting in Madison
Square Garden) be adopted in a chain of
mass meetings from coast to coast, in
order to make clear to the administration
beyond the possibility of misunderstood
ing that the country will not tolerate pro-
Ally war propaganda in the newspapers
or in the Cabinet, and that the traffic in
murder must stop"
That betrays the perfect arrogance of
the German manner. But the editor of
"The Fatherland," Mr.. George Sylvester
Viereck, goes even further, and attempts
in poem to fix on President Wilson per-
sonal responsibility for the slaughter of
German soldiers. Here are the lines:
Man, hast thou no ears?
Upon thy White House falls streak Of red
From Europe's carnage. In the long night
tide
Canst thou not see them marching side by
side,
The mute accusing army of the dead?
This is an incitation to violence which
may easily fall on willing ears. The mu,
nitions embargo agitation has, indeed,
long passed the stage Of a genuine politi-
cal discussion. 1t has reached the stage
Of incendiary appeal, of dangerous sugges-
ton. 1t ought to be suppressed in the
interest of law, order and domestic tran
guilty. The spirit of outrage manifested
by pro-German partisans should not be
allowed to stalk any longer behind a
pseudo-political propaganda. The whirl-
wind of indignation which swept the coun-
try after the destruction of the Lusitania
will be zephyr compared to the storm
which must overwhelm the introducers to
our soil of the German methods of crime
and savagery which have just manifested
themselves in the Morgan assault and the
bomb operations in the Senate wing Of
the Capitol.

Porhrio Diaz.

Some Mexicans used TO call Porfirio
Diaz "the Aztec" just as to-day they
speak of Villa as "the bandit" That
habit grew upon them during those twenty
years or more Of almost constant warfare
of the sort that Pancho Villa and Zapata
and Carranza are waCing to-day, which
ended in 1876 when Diaz rode into Mexico
City at the head of 10000 men.
But Diaz did not spring from the disin-
herited Indian millions, like Villa and
Zapata. He belonged to the small middle
class of mixed blood TO which Carranza
belongs and throughout his long and tur-
bulent rise toward power he espoused
much the same programme of nationalism
and reform with which General Carranza
has identified himself. He called himself
an advanced liberal; he was a Constitu-
tionalst and an anti-clerical. When he
assumed the reins of government, how
ever. like all Mexican patriots, he became
a dictator but the best and most success
full dictator in Mexico's list.
The thirty years Of Porfrio Diaz's
reign constitute Mexico's golden age the
only period of consequence during her
century of independence in which COM
MERGE and mining and agriculture and the
other arts of peace have been permitted
TO pile up wealth for the distracted coun-
try. He invited in foreign capital which
built him railroads. With their help he
regularly strangled in their infancy the
revolutions which just as regularly came
into feeble being against him here and
there. lie made Vera Cruz a healthful
port, he established a rather imperfect
system of free schools for the people and
he protected the propertied interests.
The swiftness with which Mexico has
reverted to anarchy since the "strong
mans" downfall is proof to the world Of
what a strong man he really was, perhaps
the mightiest Of all Latin-Americans. No
doubt in the years Of his retirement in
Paris he mourned over the spectacle Of
his countrys turmoil, but at the same
time there must have been some satisfac-
ton for him in the thought that no other
man has since been able to stick in the
saddle of government where he sat so Sc
curely for so long.
If only he might have broken in for all
time the bucking steed of state
