trived to submerge in time and seems to
have got away without serious injury
The particulars of the other airman's eS
plot are not given. but it is reported as =
certainty that the German submarine was
completely wrecked
An interesting circumstance IN the re-
port is the official admission that 1T Is
not the practice of the Admiralty to pub
lish statements regarding the losses OF
German submarines, important though
they have been, in cases where the enemy
has no other source of information as to
the time and place at which these losses
have occurred" This was commonly be-
lieved to be the policy of the Admiralty
and it is conjectured reasonably that Ger
man losses in this branch of the service
have really been much greater than the
British and French reports indicate.

Peace Resolutions.
itor of The Tribune.

To the Editor of The Tribune.
Sir: What can be done by the national
convention which is to be held in the interest
of peace at Chicago on September ;, concern
ing which Mr. John Brsben Walker writes
a letter, published in The Tribune OF Au-
gust 81?
Can great involving principles mos
vital to the rights and liberties of humanity
be stopped by the mere passing of resolu-
tons in neutral country, leaving the
cowardly instgators of the war TO pront
by their foul work in Belgium, France and
Russia?
Considering the frightful losses and sacr-
fees imposed upon the nations of the En-
tente, who tried hard to prevent the war
they would be imbecile at this juncture to
entertain any proposals of peace thai dc
not crush the military spirit and power o.
the war-mad Kaiser and deprive him and his
staggering henchmen of all power and
chance to again commit such a damna0le
crime against civilization.
Would not Mr.. Walkers letter have beer
more properly addressed to the country that
began the war than to the United States !
1t is to be presumed that the German people
know by this time what they want.

of the Nazarene. With unyielding tenaclty
and devotion they have chung to the Cross o.

Therefore, has not Armenia a claim on the

WAR PRISONER IN GERMANY
Experiences of an English Doctor
Lately Released.
To the Editor of The Tribune.

To the tditOf OF Inc Tribune.
Sir: The inclosed account of prison ex-
perienccs in Germany given by young doc
tor a cousin of mine, who has just returned
to England after ten months in a German
prison, may interest some of your readers:
"No one realizes the delight Of being free
who has not been prisoner!
"When we got to Holland on our~way home
we got out at the first station and danced
up and down the platform and sang and
oheered The Dutch gave us splendid re-
ception, and when we got on board Dutcn
steamer we were treated royalty and not al
lowed to pay for anything. All the way up
the steamer was greeted by sirens and
hooters.

packed into train and starved, not given =
thing to eat. When the German Red Cross
women came around a station with cans OF
coffee they refused to give us any, saying:
Nein. Englander! and spilled little on the
platform to make us long for 1t.
at each station there were excited crowds,
ieering and throwing things at us, and one
of the guards got hold of a surgical knife
and exhibited it as the instrument used by
English doctors to gouge out the eyes oil

AT one place a German colonel was
egging on the people, and man armed with
long knife tried to get into the train. Fort
unately it started just then or there might
have been murder

looked like dirty water with little grease on
top, and we generally had raw pork none too
fresh. At one place we slept in berths, one
above another; at the next we had beds'

gians and Russians alternately. At first the
beds were horribly dirty, but as we did our
own work we managed to rid them of SUI

shower bath, of which the English, with an
occasional Frenchman, took advantage before
breakfast, sometimes twenty-five at time.

Votes and Male Dress.

To the Editor Of The Tribune
Sir: Having read the words of wisdom by
Eli Appelbaum in to-day's Tribune, | should
like him to shed a little further light on
this great question of granting the right to
vote to the other half of the people.
He says "the granting to women of the
right to modify their manner and dress will
prove the greatest curse humanity has ever
been afflicted with" For fear that some
voters might not believe these positive as
sertions Mr. Appelbaum should show that in
countries and states where women have voted
for many years this Course" does prevail.
Is it because men vote that they dress, or
rather undress so vulgarly at every bathing
and boating place in the country? Is it be-
cause men vote that they dress up in gaudy
uniforms and strut along the streets in pa
rade for the gaping crowds TO admire?
If all women should be prohibited from
voting 10 prevent their becoming as vain
and as vulgar as the men are, then the men
should be prohibited from voting, so that
they would be as comfortably and mo.estly
dressed as nearly all women are.
If we men were denied the vote, we would
according to Mr.. Appellants theory, wear
decent bathing suits and athletic suits and
give up our vanity for brass buttons and gold
cords and tassels. We might even give up
the long seeved and high-necked clothes for
hot weather and wear sensible, comfortable,
health giving clothes, such as the women
now wear.
If Nh. Appellants associates wear the
hind of clothes he describes, he should travel
over the city and country a little and he
would find that nearly all women dress in
modest and comfortable clothing. If he
would travel III states and countries where
women vote he might find the women dressed
as modestly as those in this city who do not
vote COLORADO.

The Polk Appointment.

The Washington dispatches which con-
firm the report that the Corporation Coun-
sci of this city, is to succeed to the place
filled with distinction b. the present Sec
rotary of State will excite both approval
and regret-approval of an appointment
wholly admirable and regret that the city
is to lose an efficient and faithful servant.
AT Washington Mr.. Polk will be valu-
able aid to the administratio in a re-
sponsible post. His appointment will be
accepted as a satisfactory indication that
Mr.. Wilson's administration has aban
doned the policy of appointing deserving
Democrats" and is henceforth to make
with regard to the capacity
of the man for the job.
1t would be difficult to imagine better
selection than has been made, and the
approval will not be limited to fractional or
partisan lines.

Inspection of School Children.

1t is extremely difficult to understand
why there should be objection to the
Health Departments physical examina-
ton of children at the beginning OF their
school career save from two sources
those parents who through ignorance mis-
understand the whole proceeding, and
those physicians who have, some unques-
tionably from selfshness, opposed any
activities of the department other than
those calculated to guard the city against
epidemics of disease.
The department at present devotes
much time and labor to handling sickness
and disease occurring among school chill
dren. This requires inspections. the at
tendance of physicians and the like. The
new procedure will be in the nature OF
prevention rather than cure.
The Chinese pay their physicians for
keeping them well and stop payment
when illness occurs. The new provision
of the sanitary code which prescribes this
initial physical examination for the child
entering school goes on the same theory
that health, not a cure, is the desirable
thing. 1t is based on the idea that II
physical defects or tendencies to disease
exist it is better to know of them imme-
diately than to wait until time makes
them manifest in some disastrous way.
The city has no especial desire to con-
Duct this rigid test if the parents will
have it done by a competent physician.
But the city has decided sensibly that the
physical condition of each child entering
the schools shall be a matter Of record.
With that as point Of departure, the
work of keeping the children well can be
performed far easier than at present.
This is a thing which every parent de-
voutly desires. Consequently it is to be
expected that once the Health Depart
ments aims and hopes involved in this
new activity become thoroughly under
stood by the parents it will have their
heartiest support and cooperation.

A Despicable Insult.

To the Editor of The Tribune.
Sir: To what extent these German Sed-
tion breeders and traitorous propagandists
will go is Enthusiastically demonstrated in
the warning" which you made public this
morning. The fit place, as you have stated
for these hireling insults is the waste basket.
Nevertheless, We must all thank you for let
ting us know "the turn now being taken by
propagandists whose spiritual and material
inspiration has been disclosed by our neigh
Dor, The World in recent publications which
constitute patriotic and public service"
The turn is the turn of the bafTled traitor,
who, seeing himself ruined, resorts to base
treachery to accomplish what he could not
do fairly and squarely.
Whoever signed this warning to you, or
whoever hired the hireling who signed it,
whether he be a favorite in an Emperor
graces or whether he be vile degenerate and
therefore an irresponsible tool, committed the
most despicable insult conceivable when he
signed it "An American"
We are submissively sorry that the Al
mighty sees fit to allow Judases and Benedict
Arnolds to be born within the sacred liber-
ties of our glorious land. But they never
were, nor could they ever be, called Ameri-
cans convicted criminal loses his rights

Holland and the War.

tFrom The Dundee AdrertiScr)
Mr. Holdert, proprietor and director of the
"Telegraf," which is admittedly one of the
creates, newspapers in Holland, seems GER
tainly a competent person to offer an opinion
about Dutch feeling and the war 1t is there
fore interesting to notice that Mr. Holdert
in an interview has spoken plainly about
what his countrymen really think. The peo-
pie in the mass, he says, hate the "Boches,"
and all. their sympathies are with the Allies.
Their middle class. however, is quite satisfied
with the profits being made in one way and
another through the war. and the one desire
is neutrality and peace at any cost Dutch
circles" are equally divided be
tween friends of the Allies and admirers of
Germany, and the government is also divided
into two groups, with a Premier whose pro
German sympathies are well known" Lest,
however, it might be that Holland would join
hands at any time with Germany Mr.. Holdert
says emphaticall that this can never be.

Seaplane Versus Submarine.

The feat Of a British airman in destroy
ing a German submarine off Ostend is OF
singular interest as the first of its kind
the first. at least, that has been made
known to the world. The possibility of pit
ting seapanes against underwater craft
has long been recognized, but hitherto no
striking success in this way had been
recorded. Theoretically they ought to be
of value in cooperation with fast destroy
ers. for at a considerable height it is pos
sible. under favorable conditions, to see to
great depth beneath the surface Of the
water.
In rough weather, however, or in shoaI
and turbid waters, a submarine may easily
escape detection. and obviously in an area
so vast as the North Sea the business of
seeking out and destroying vessels IN this
manner would be in the nature of wild
goose chase. Besides, even If the tell-tale
shadow were detected it would be prac-
tically impossible for the airman to lndl-
cate its whereabouts precisely at the crit
ical moment; it is probable, therefore, that
the chief value of aircraft so far has been
in giving warning TO vessels. Even for
that purpose their use is manifestly Inn
tied. for it has been proved eXperimentally
that submarines have often passed under
aircraft unobserved.
Commander Bigsworth's fortunate ex-
oloit is of a kind that is seldom feasible.
He apparently found the German sub
marine running light or awash, for had
she been submerged it would, of course.
