Swimming is a pleasure. It IS some
times a necessity. Every child should
learn to swim between 6 and II years
Of age. That is the best time.
Every person should be able to swim,
not alone for the Joy that is to be
gained from it and the splendid exer.
else which It affords. but In order to
save one from drowning. Parents who
neglect having their children taught to
swim are almost criminally negligent.
There are some "don'ts" connected
with the swimming game and 1t might

Whether you are able to swim or
not, there Is always an element Of

Trees for the City.

To the Editor OF The Tribune.
Sir: Concerning tree planting, Mr.. Sutra 5
letter in to-day's Tribune is timely. Trees
may be planted now and during the month of
April with entire success If these simple in
functions are observed namely, to procure
from reliable nurseries a tree that has been
nursery raised. with sound, straight stem,
well formed head and full, fbrous roots; a
usual size, two and one-half 70 three inches
in diameter; larger if carefully selected, and
you are willing to pay the price.
Trees and other material for planting as
shrubbery must be properly handled from
the nursery to the final planting operation to
protect the plant from injury and root ex-
posure to the wind and sun and TO provide
suitable moisture. AS | have often advised
The Tribune readers, you must secure per-
NIT from the Park Commissioner of the bor-
ough, and in it will be prescribed the condi-
uons under which tree in the city may be
planted and the kind of tree-maple. elm,
sycamore or plane, linden, oak ash and one
or two other varieties; but poplars. other
wise useful, and willows and aiantus, rapid
growers. may not be used on city streets.
This work must be done at the expense Of
the property owners. and the cost will vary
from $3.50 to S25. according to local condi
tions, but the work. we'll done, will be worth
the cost Mr. Sutra refers 20 the planting
cf more trees in the parks. My belief is that
the present Board OF Park Commissioners,
through its several members, is actively
interested in this desirable feature of park
restoration. considerable amount of work
OF this kind will cost good deal of money,
as would any systematic street tree plant
ing, greatly to be desired but whether or not
the money can be afforded at this time is
matter for the Board of Estimate TO deter
mine. At all events, the individual property
owner is at liberty to engage in the work Of
improving his own property by tree planting
and so incidentally aid il beautfying the

Not an Obituary.
The Bronx, March q, 1915.

To the Editor of The Tribune.
Sir: The monthly News Letter from the Ma
tional Suffrage headquarters makes the as
tonishing announcement that Volunteer
League" is being organized for the advance
ment of equal suffrage, in honor OF Anna
Howard Shaw, as a fittin recognition Of her
thirty years of devoted, fsacrifcing labor
for woman" Can it be that Miss Shaw has
passed away? We understood that she had
merely gone South and would again return.
The News Letter also states that this
movement has been started without Miss
Shaws knowledge; little do they know that
astute lady's farseeing eye and long distance
ear. But If such be the case, ought they not
to consult Miss Shaw? Perhaps the Shaw
administration is not so totterng as il
seems; il may even stand another year or
two. But why this attempt to bring the Ma
tionsl Suffrage Association TO an untimelv
end BY publishing premature obituary?
Last fall at the suffrage convention. when
Miss Shaw's friends and enemies united in
an effort 20 make her president emeritus, she
declined the honor of being "demerited." as
she put il. Perhaps when she discovers this
volunteer movement in her honor she will
refuse to be obtuarled.

defence Of the fortress ranks the superior
quality Of the Austrian artillery as the
capture was only possible by starving out the
garrison.
The battle of the Carpathians may be i'm
portan' but It never can be decisive to the
final outcome. The bait which England holds
out to neutral countries, so amply demon
strated by the Tribunes war editor, may
prove tc be another failure. Perhaps il The
Tribune had large circulation in neutral
states in Europe It's editorials could hen
peck the readers there to enlist the rest Of
the civilized, and uncivilzed, world as Kitch-
cner's myriads, thus showing the crafty Eng
lish game to perfection Of making other ma
.ions she'd their blood for English aggran-
dizement.
It seems those neutral powers of Europe
do not believe in dividing the bearskin be-
fore the bear is captured, and, in addition.
do they know grabbing England and Russia
too well; tha. even after they had made great
sacrifices and some bcarskin could be divided.

AGAINST FOREST LOOTlNG
MIR. Pinchot Fears the Effect of Pend

To the Editor Of The Tribune.
Sir: have no interest whatever IN the

dacE forests. Clifford Pinchot has said that
he purchase Of this Adirondack park is prob
ablv the best investment the citizens Of New

Il renders so many and such important ser
vices that no similar forest area in the
United States is Of such a value TO 50 many
people
The Nachold bill reorganizing the Conser-
vation Commission was devised and is be
ing pushed by certain interests whose names
we're associated with the plundcr and pll!age
Of the public forests which disgraced the
state only four years ago. Whatever else
he uresent Conservation Commission may or
may not have DONE no one has ever said
that it has not cleaned up a shameful situa-
lion. / oppose the Nachod bill very largely
because Of the men who are behind II. The
records of the majority Of at least one com
.n.ttee 1the Barbour committed which IS
pushing the Machold bill subject that meas
are 20 grave suspicion. Too many Of them
want to 20 back to condition which was
ended none too soon. The advocates of the
Machold bill fought the Boosevelt-Jones bill
in 1912 and every other measure which would
work good to the Adirondacks and have
backed cvcry measure which was intended 10
injure them.
They cannot realize that the forest region
which belongs to all the people is no longer
private wood lot, which they can lumber at

en.al factors in the state government.
Every official whom they have been able to
persuade or compel TO do their will has de-
,troyed himself They have done their best
to destroy every official who has interfered
with or suppressed their activities That IS
what they arc trying to do to-day.

the big ones before the coming constitutions!

tion at this time which will even tend 70 per

safe now, and they should be kept safe. As

THE ANTI" A CRAB
Walking Sidewise, Helpless, When
Cornered in Suffrage Arguments.

To the Editor Of The Tribune
Sir: The position Of the anti-sufragist Is
indeed pathetic No argument that he, she
or IL can make controyerts the main theory
that women constitute a fair and reputable
half of humanity. and that they cannot ofi-
cially compel politicians TO redress or even
investigate their grievances, as the nifty
years struggle for equal suffrage proves.
Many seductive women, no doubt, have the
ear of some man who will promise them
anything, but he does not always FUN! ms
promises. Nor will an unsttractive factory
hand influence a fastidious employer against
his own interests, though she have a whole
necklace Of ears. As surely as the beauty
wins by her beauty, so does the homely one
fail through her homeliness. Some women
are very homely; they possess neither rights
nor privileges.
The "sanctity Of the home" is q good flag
70 wave. When nome is sacred the powers
OF darkness, even suffrage, will not prevail
against it; but the sanctty of many homes Is
A thing the children would often willingly
trade for little more liberty and sympathy,
little more real love and a good deal less
narrow minded criticism. The modern home
is somewhat different from the sacred old
thing that "antis" bleat about. something big
ger and better. Suffrage will do much to
make the new ideals attainable It is the
first step toward making the position Of re-
spectacle women respectable.
We have been taught that freedom is good
for its own sake. In practice women are as
free as most of them wish TO be, but in law
they still rank as cattle and property. Men
and women will always haye the privileges
they can command and no more. Chivalry
is already become little more than grunt
and a seat in the subway, strange survival
Of uncivilized mans natural courtesy.
Has life become intolerable where equal
suffrage has been granted? Are the men OF
California become weak and efeminate? As
a crab, sidewise, walks the "anti" when cor
rered. bubbling and babbling absurdties,
very helpless and pitiable.

Fabulous" War Editorials.

To the Editor OF The Tribune.
Sir: The war editorials OF The Tribune
since the fall Of Przemsyl are getting fabu-
lous again TO the extreme. What does the
editor mean in to-day's editorial, when he
writes about the new myriads breaking
against the German barrier from Switzerland
to the North Sea? Are not the English losses
in the so much boasted victory at Neuye
Chapelle a true lesson that If England has
20 pay so dearly for every yard Of ground
won no English soldier will reach the Rhine
alive? Can the boasting OF Mr.. Churchill
Offset the fact that the majority of England's
merchantmen are sheltering themselves in
harbors before the perils of German subma-
rines, and can the capture OF 100000 Aus
trians, defending Przemysl, Offset the fact
that nearly 100000 Russians are to-day cap
tivcs OF Austria and Germany?
The loss Of Przemysl, though bitter, is neg
ligible Tor the Austrians. Next to the gallant

Sanctioning a Brace Game.

To Mr.. J. Mayhem Wainwright, as
much as to any one man in this state, IS
due credit for New Yorl's possessing a
worlSmen's compensation law. He was
chairman Of the legislative committee
which Investigated the subject and pre-
pared the original law, declared unconsti-
tutional. His researches, his work to have
enacted q new law under the amended
constitution, his service Oh the commits
sion created by that law, have made him
an acknowledged expert. When, there
fore. he warns the Governor against sign,
ing )the direct settlement amead4ent,
no1 pending, there is nobody wis can
sbeak more authoritatiyely.
There is no doubt in Mr.. Wanwrlghts
mind abou, the viciousness Of the pro
posed change. II am opposed he said,
"to the sanction Of law upon any game
where one side is playing with loaded
dice. The employer or his agent, the cas-
ualty company would hold the loaded
dice" The injured workman or his widow
and children. would be the victims.
New York State has guaranteed justice
in the handling of compensation claims.
She cannot sanction a brace game. I'm

Neutrality.

To the Editor of The Tribune.
Sir: I would like 20 ask John A. Allen, pre-
sumably of Yale College, what would happen
in Berlin if at repeated public meetings held
there the name Of the German Secretary Of
State were Kissed and that Of some foreign
potentate, say the King Of Italy, were to be
checred?
And are the American papers printed in
the American language any more partisan
than. for instance, the "Staats-Zeitung' is,
which is supposed to be an American paper
printed in the German language? Let him
get some Of the back numbers Of this paper
and see whether the sinking of three German
battleships received as much prominence as
the sinking Of three English ones did.
