Power to Regulate Buildings.

The proposal granting to municipalities
power 20 regulate the height and use OF
buildings which the Cities Committee Of
the Constitutional Convention has re-
ported should be adopted. There ought &c
be little controversy over this subject. AL
talk about city planning all schemes for
the City Desirable Of the future, imply
this power. Development Of cities in any
thing other than a helter-skelter, un-
planned fashion cannot come about unless
the authorities have the right 70 supervise,
70 regulate that development.
For New York City this need is keen.
The Mayors Commission on Building
Districts and restrictions urges adoption
Of the proposal. II has, moreover sup
port OF real estate owners, as distin-
guished from real estate spectators, and
Of some philanthropic organizations, which
favor it as a social betterment measure.

0 WINGED Victory!

0 Winged Victoryl
Thou
Who long ago didst gaze across the sea
From wind-swept Samothrace,
And now,
Still on thy vessels naughty PROV,
Standest with lofty but protecting grace
Der the broad Louvre stair
Steps that are worn by the besieging tread
OF countless pilgrims to this stately home
OF everything art, who, when they come
And see thee there,
Pause with caught breath, and bow
An unaccustomed head
And heart that knows no law but liberty,
We cannot see thy face;
No longer does thy hand uphold the crown
Or WELD the trump whose breath
Told those in battle for their. country slain
Ere sight and hearing fled for aye
That not in vain
Came death.
These we see not. But still the wondrous
grace
OF thy most buoyant form,
Breasting the battle-storm,
And garments backward blown on vibrant
limbs.
These are a harmony,
Soul-cleansing like the proud triumphal
hymns
OF brave antiquity.
Such in the past the thought
That thou hast brought,
When France at peace
Welcomed her peaceful friends of many
lands
And, moving nobly forward, with full
hands
sowed the good seed Of science, music, art.
But what dread change
Comes on beloved France?
Filled with delusion strange,
Il mighty alien nation, drunk with power;
In a mad hour
Invades her fields and lays her tillage
waste
See where the smoke curls up

Rockers Of Cradles.

To the Editor Of The Tribune.
Sir: In this mornings Tribune Helen Nc
Callum says that giving women the vote will
deprive them of much that she holds as a
precious birthright. Will she kindly state
just what the women have been deprived Of
where they now vote which she holds as q
precious birthright?
She further says "the hand that rocks the
cradle rules the world" is one of the truest
sayings ever written While no one could
honestly say that voting will hinder women
from rocking the cradle and thereby ruling
the world. if the present ruling OF the
world is specimen of the ruling by the
present hand that rocks the cradle it is time
the women should vote and the men rock the
cradle. ONE WHO WAS ROCKED.

Patriotism and Smugness.

To the Editor of The Tribune
Sir: | greatly admire your editorials, and
am convinced that every American citizen
who desires to be we'll educated should read
The New York Tribune each morning. May
|. however, make one suggestion to your staff,
and that is that no criticism Of ex-Presdent
Roosevelt be permitted in The Tribune?
firmly believe that cx-President Roosevelt
is the greatest asset the American people
have. He is beyond question our greatest
statesman.
If the present Washington administration
is willing TO live in fools paradise" ex-
President Roosevelt is not Our unprepared-
ness is shameful tragedy. Most Of the
pacifsts are mental infrmities and are n
serious menace to this country. Every nor
NAL man has a holy horror Of war, but to
be unprepared TO resist the invasion of an
enemy is little less than insanity. So when
ex-President Roosevelt made his inspired
speech at Plattsburg he should not be critl-
cised, but highly praised and commended for
his great service 10 his country. He has al
WAYS been admired for telling the truth, and
from a mind and heart like his there is little
else to expect hope he will take every
opportunity he can find to wake up the
American people.
The SNUG self-complacency of Mr.. Wilson
Cabinet is a painful spectacle.

The Lost Submarine.

To the Editor Of The Tribune.
Sir: SO the German submarine which
sank the Arabic has herself been sunk by
a British patrol ship. OF course her captain,
before he submerged himself and his craft
for the last time, tossed his victorious an
tagonists bottle containing the record of
his exploit in torpedoing the Arabic; else
how does Berlin or Washington know that
his was the glory or the shame OF IL?
Could anything be more naive and child

public seize the opportunity of permitting
Germany TO save her face by censuring a

1915.

All. what vision strange
And beautiful and mighty comes 70 me
Here in our own sweet country Of the
free
Where we who loved fair France
In her bright monday now in her deep
night
OF anguish and the irrevocable woes
OF loss companioning each gain Of war
Love her yet more and send our hope
afar
Across the many-voiced sea-
A vision wonderful Of thee,
Briyht-wingcd Victory.
Not in the marble shape We long have
known,
But as in ages past
Thou stoodst, a shining form, IN battle
riven air,
Thy face with an immortal beauty fair,
4 wreath upon thy sunlit hair,
And in Thy hand another wreath
That makes happinoss Of DEATH
The sweet and fitting death for ones
own land
When savage aliens stand
Upon her soil and rend and rob and
Stay.
Her sons must thrust them forth, must
win the blood-red day
Then die, if needs must be,
Or live to thrust again, until war cease
With victory Of right and righteous
peace.
O Vision. come to US as when
Thou earnest from the hand Of God %
men,
In all the incredible horror Of the time.
In all the shrieking ghastliness and crime
That make up war.
Come thou,
That we may know even now,
God is not yet so far
Thou canst not come. Sound thy great
trumpet sound,
TIL on the hallowed ground
Where the brave sons Of liberty have died
The lust cause now thus doubly sanctifed
Shall triumph gloricusly,
And France, thy France,
Be free,
Be freel

September 8.

Above the ruin Of her happy towns!
Each little home and farm,
That sheltered love and hope and industry,
Now all efaced.
Even on the towers Of the house Of God
Destruction falls.
Must this twice-bitter cup
Be drunk to the dregs? That path once
more be trod
Their fathers made, straight to the very
heart
OF France?
No!
A thousand thousand voices answered
No!
A million swords leaped, thirsty for the
foe.
His swift advance
Stopped almost at the gates as by a
sudden charm.
o Victory
No hostile foot shall tread the echoing
stair
That leads to thy poised beauty; no vile
land
Drag thee unwilling from the noble land
Which thou hast come to love as it loves
thee.
Still stand thou there,
Soaring, protecting; wings spread not for
fight
But for repose.
Repose? Alas, not yet.
Hear, hear the bitter cry
Of those that die
In that sad kindred land
First grasped by the mad tyrants iron
hand
Still. still the fields of France are wet
With blood of her dead offspring: men
and wives,
Children, the ashes Of whose little lives
Crv from the smoulder;ng flames where
they were cast
By hands which fury made so mercl-
less!
No thought of rest or peace the heart
can bless
Till from the land too long dehled
Is swept this horror wild,
And it is free at last.

A Rare Vintage.



In some places the French and German
trenches extend closely along the line Of the
Vineyards, and the peasants labor patiently
with the din in their ears Of the laundering
artillery. Happily they have got used TO it,,
and are no longer to be discomposed. In the
circumstances, however, the champagne
vintage of 1915 will enjoy celebrity denied
TO some of the most famous years.

What Is the Real Chinese Way to Cook Rice?

The Chinese have as many WAYS of
preparing rice as we have. They use it
with fish, with beans and oil and in
the same way We use potatoes--as a
vegetable
The unpublished rice is always used
abroad; it is considered most whole
some by some persons, while others con
tend that it is inferior to the improved
polished article. 1t is a dark unat-
tractive dish compared to polished Car
olina Points or Japanese Pearl rice.
The Chinese have closely woven
willow basket in which the rice is
placed and then steamed over boiling
water until it is tender. They also
cook it in great quantity of water
and drain it dry when it is cooked I
have never heard that they exceled in
cooking this dish.
The best way to cook rice is to wash
it until the coating is removed. Put
three times as much water in a sauce
pan as you have rice, salt this and cook
the rice in this fifteen minutes. If the
rice is new, that is of recent crop, it
will be tender and may be drained and
served.
Curried Rice and Tomato. Mix one
teaspoon of curry powder with little
butter and add it to a cup of boiled
rice and one-half cup of strained tomato
sauce. Season with salt, heat and serve
as vegetable.
Southern cooks seem to have the best
method of cooking rice so that the
grains are whole, white and tender.
