War Editorials and Letters

To the Editor of The Tribune.
Sir: Your recent editorials on the European
war deserve more than ever deep considera-
ton and credit from all the readers of The
Tribune
1t is interesting, sometimes amusing, 70
read the different answers to your editorials,
some with menaces, others daring you to pub
lish their expressions. All find their letters
impartally printed on your editorial page.
Now that the German professors have
stopped telling US how progressive and noble
hearted the German people are in their cult
ure mot speaking OF their militarism, ! sup
pose), we have heard lately of many others
trying their vocabulary in an attempt to re-
gain the American sympathy. But they come
either with BIASED, ridiculous or unfounded
arguments. In that line We have certain im-
porters complaining very loudly to our gov
eminent for its failure 10 force England and
France to allow masses of cheap German
goods and machinery to pass the blockade,
while these same people rejoiced at and APP
proved the murder Of over a hundred Ameri-
cans by German undersea boats.
Then we have several lawyers writing from
time to time strong pro-German letters, in
order to please and increase German patrons
in their clientele
Writing in defence of the Fatherland, the
true patriot, though he may be erring, has
my respect But all the others, hyphensted
and hypocrites, cannot impress any one:
their letters, If read, are looked on with cor
tempt.
Whatever may be the motives for the
crooked state of mind of the pro-German, the
concrete and straightforward principles of
democracy contained in your editorials havs
the firm backing of tens of thousands of read
ers and gain new appreciation every day.

arguments on the other side quite futile.
For what do all these arguments amount
20? At the most that intolcrablc condi-
lions are somewhat mitigated, that be-
lated effort has been made to lessen II
danger due to original want of thinking,
the danger of poisoning our water supply.
The danger is so manifest and so unneces-
sary that there cannot be two opinions
about the proper course TO take. Under
no circumstances should the training
school be permitted to dispose of its sew
age in such a way as to threaten the
people of New York. If that is the only
wey, then the school itself must be dis
posed Of. And what applies to the school
applies no less to the Mohansic State Hos
pital.

The Latest Munitions Mystery.

Obviously. there will be the most thor
ough investigation to ascertain the origin
of the fire which destroyed the Bethle-
hem Steel Company's shop and its valu-
able contents. 1t is just possible that 1t
may be proved to have been due to the
hazards incident to manufacturing Of the
nature carried on there. Lacking such
proof, the occurrence will take its place
in the public mind with the numerous
other fires in munitions plants, bomb out
RACES. fires on shipboard and the like, all
of which benefited the Teutons and some
of which are directly attributable to their
misguided agents or sympathizers.
Fortunately, no lives were lost in yes
terday's fire, but American property
roughly estimated to be worth millions
of dollars, giving employment to hun
dreds of persons in legal, legitimate
business, was wiped out. The manu-
facture and sale of war supplies to bel
ligerents by citizens Of this neutral coun-
try is an important industry just now
too important for this latest injury to be
passed over without being cleared up.
If American interests are suffering
from an excess of hyphenated zeal, from
unneutral violations of the
laws, it is time for the public and the
authorities to know it. Adequate action
can follow only complete knowledge Of
the circumstances surrounding the mys-
terious hazards which attend the en-
ployment of American capital in such
undertakings.

the Lusitania case lest Germany should
fatty decline TO dsavow and reduce his
noble diplomatic victory to kndling wood.
Our neighbor THE World" from time
TO time suggests or insists that the fact
that COMMUNICATIONS are attacking
the President must rally all Americans
to his support. Under most circum-
stances this would be true. But in the
existing situation it is not and will not
be true. There are thousands of Ameri-
cans who have not forgotten the Lusi-
tania, who have not dismissed the note
of July 81 from their minds, who believe
that Mr.. Wilson trimmed his sails TO the
German-American breezes precisely as
long as it was politically possible and
only changed when he perceived political
advantage was in another course.
German-Americans will continue to at
tack the President because he did not
persist in the course which he took in the
days when Bryan was in the State De-
partment But even more fatal for Mr..
Wilson will be the enduring distrust and
opposition of Americans, with no hyphen,
who regard the Presidents course in the
matter of the Lusitania as a betrayal Of
American lives and American honor.
The note of July 81 will remain for them
the test of the sincerity of Mr.. Wilson's
German policy, and by that test his fail
ure is incontestable.

Whatever the merits of the discussion
involving the words of the great prophet
Ezekiel, there seems no question that
our watchmen Colonel Roosevelt was the
first TO sound the trumpet. And 1t is not
his fault if the President failed to recog-

national sentiment. Others less ia

But Mr.. Bryan objects that "the watch
man must sound the trumpet when he
seeth the sword come upon the land" and
that "the sword has not come upon the
land and no enemy is in sight" Appar-
emily he is not yet aware that in modern
war the sword is considered an encum-

is the enemy in sight.

10 on the back, of Sung dynasty, explains is
that il is the product from the tenth hearth
among others not passed and finally demol-
ished, the product itself being a selection
some pieces from those other hearths are
sometimes seen, each with appearance of mas
terpiece in decidedly far inferior grade). No
wonder the revelation of tone of such un-
earthly beauty, such immensely of depth, such
unique realization, holds a monopoly in the
like art of the world through the ages.
The reflections Of the spiritual attainments
Of life are wildly manifested in these an
cient arts. These ancient arts, exactly like
the contemporary lteratures, lead one but TO
fancy the climax of the early civilization of
the land where they were produced. If the
specimens exhibited in our Metropolitan Mu-
scum fail in proving this in the highest de-
gree to him it is because they are not the,
so to speak, consecrated pieces of the most
ancient period. We're he brought to look at
for instance, a Kuan-Yin about five centu-
ries older than one in the Museum, or to look
at Buddha matchlessly old in the kind, both
here. unknown, however, as to exhibiting. he
would cry out in admiration, entranced by
their splendor of perfection. The creation
of an ideal by a creature presupposes unity
is demonstrated in such pieces. Critics can
but say of them that they are fathomless in
expression, subtle in work
As to the Chinese collections in the same
building, We must not dwell on the hard
heartedness OF the taking away of the Nor
gan collection at an unseasonably early time
as the public ought at least to be grateful for
the exhibition while it lasted And we must
not depreciate the modernized decorative arts
in the Altman collection, as they despite the
loss OF the contrast afforded by the above
contribute amply TO the educational benefit of
the public. And we must not despair Of the
future appearance of some fine specimens in
the same line. As in every other thing, quail
ity is the first requisite, and not quantity.
Goethes "the mass of the public delights
IN the mediocre" should not prevail forever
1t is highly desirable that older and finer
Chinese arts come into the hands of few
rich of benevolent spirit rather than into the
hands Of many petty. selfish storers, and thus,
kept collectively, get opportunities of being
sometimes exhibited in the public Institutes
and becoming the objects Of noble enjoyment
by the people. TOWGOO.

That Ideal Job.

For several months this city has had
public employment bureau, intent on find
ing jobs for the jobless and jobless for the
jobs of which it happened to learn. Now
it is to have a super-employment bureau.
This newer and greater institution is not
only going TO endeavor to connect the pay
roll and the empty pocket; it is going TO
discover by Scientific character analysis"
just what kind of employment any seeker
under twenty-one ought TO have. Whether
it will refuse to place a youth in a position
he can get if this scientific analysis indi-
Gates he ought TO he a poet instead of
puddler is yet TO be determined.
Hereafter the young man or young
woman out of work who applies at the
Municipal Employment Bureau for help
will have to fill out a vocational guidance
blank containing eighty-six questions,
among them the following
OF what particular benefit has your school
ing been to you?
DO you live at home? If not, why not?
Do you take regular exercise? Are you
interested in sports?
What kind of reading have you done?
What is your hobby?
What is your ambition?
Does your mind concentrate or skip
around?
Can you remember things we'll and for
considerable period?
What do you look for first in newspapers
What habits or vices do you have 70 fight
down in yourself?
Can you save money?
What training or special preparation have
you had for your present position? What is
your chance Of promotion? Upon what do
you base your hope of promotion?
What life work do you think you prefer?
Are you willing to pay the price in hard
work to attain success?
As a step toward the ideal world, in
which there will be no round pegs in
square holes, this idea is splendid. In
plain, practical fact, however, two ques-
tions appear to have been left out:
Have you unlimited credit at your boarding
house?
If not, how long can you live without work
while we endeavor to find just the position
you ought to have?
Lacking these, the new scheme seems
likely to create an unusual demand on the
Charities Department and the private
philanthropic agencies this winter.
