the hands Of the highly efficient Teutons. has
shown US and the world something new IN

little neutrality we now maintain.

No Change for the Wexse.

Again the real estate interests have
brought up the question of consolidating
those departments and bureaus which have
to do with the inspection of buildings, to
do away with the present overlapping of
Jurisdiction and duplication Of work. This
Is greatly to be desired, both as matter
of economy and to relieve property owners
from excessive inspection and contradlc-
tory orders issued by different depart
monts. Their plea should, and will doubt
less, receive sympathetic consideration
from the city authorities.
But while there is an evil in this stu
alton to be remedied there should be no
repetition of the mistakes made in the pres
entation of the late unlamented Lock-
wood Ellenbogen bill, which was intended
to abate that evil. No possible change or
combination of inspection powers will be
acceptable to the people of this city which
emasculates the tenement house law or
works, in practical effect, to break down
the protection tenement dwellers now
have. No change will be acceptable which
replaces the present powers of the state
labor authorities and the local Fire Depart
mcnt to require thorough and adequate
safeguarding of factory workers with
lesser powers Of protection. No change
will be permitted which will lessen the
Building Bureaus authority to maintain
standards for safety in construction and
alteration work.
The Lockwood Ellenbogen bill aroused a
storm of public antagonism because it was
believed to do all these things. If in CO.
OF ration with the city administration the
real estate people can work out CONSOLE
dation scheme without these weaknesses,
one having the approval of the local au
thorities. it will be we'll to have it sub
n'itted for legislative action. The city
needs such ways of saving money and
the efficiency of its work as can
be devised, Money saving and simpiiica-
ton of work which might reduce protec-
ton for the life and health of citizens
though, is out Of the question.

The Failure of Democracy.

To the Editor Of The Tribune.
Sir: The critical excellence of your edi-
torial. "Muddlers Defiant cannot be denied
II treats a big subject in big way and pre-
SCENTS il clearly. No considerations can be
larger than are those which involve democ-
,acy- democracy, the frightful failures OF
which in England, in France and IN America
demonstrate the human inability TO make
good government by, of and for the people
altogether economically sound and ethlcaliy
honest.
Democracy's greater and more longived ex-
tensions the past hundred and hity years
have all resulted in increasingly fearful
economic impostures on work-a-day people
Even here. in the richest country on earth,
the politico-economic conditions are so out
rageously unjust and so bad that wrongs IN
general are multiplied until our 3OOOO,OOO
real workers do not, on an average. receive
living wage, but must get along on about nall
what should be paid them, and would be paid
them were they blest with even approx
matelv thorough governmental efficiency
Democracy's sweeping claims stand univer-
sally denied by democracy's economic tall-
ures alone; and as for what involves and en-
tails truly spiritual benefits, these are ut
terly lost sight of in the political machna-
tons of applied democracy, simply because
there is no such thing at all possible as hon
est representative rule for, Of and by any
people whose convictions admit Of nothing
as being equal to utilitarianism. These con-
victions tend to destroy spiritual sense and
consequently undermine all the moral integ-
rites. This is our national plight to-day; 1t
is England's in even worse degree; and 1t is
the plight of dear old France-France whose
Gallo traditions and whose ethnically inner
ent love for monarchica institutions cannot
be replaced with anything that sheer bour-
leoisie democratic dwellings include

To the Editor of The Tribune.
Sir: 1t was with much qualification that
read in YOUR valuable columns the well versed
letter of Mr.. o. T. Malghazouny, evidently
thoughtful Armenian, in answer to some ao'
surd utterances made by son Of some &C
cursed generation to injure the Armenians.
Every computation Of Mr.. Malghazouny de-
serves my hearty appreciation, with the ex'
ception of his low figures for the Armenians
massacred during 1S9i-1s96, and upon later
dates, which he puts down at much lower
figures than were conservatively published.
However, what ] want TO emphasize IS a
practical way to salvation for this complain
ing, lamentable Church nationality.

his own race. When abiding to the Armen-

An Irish Independent.

The husband of Mrs. Sheehy-Skeffing-
ton, at one time a known suffragette
in Dublin, has addressed a letter to the
President of the United States telling him
how to apply the doctrine of thoughtful
partisanship" to Ireland.
81 do not ask" he writes with becoming
modesty, that the United States should
deliberately declare for Irish indepen-
dence. But if Ireland demands the right
to take plebscite of its men and women
to determine whether Ireland is content
with its present state or would prefer to
be Independent, will the United States
support that claim and insist that Eng
land the self-vaunted protector Of small
nationalities, shall abide by the result of
such plebiscite? Is that too much to ask
as an expression of thoughtful partisan
ship with those who desire TO be free?"
Mr.. Sheehy-Skeffington is simplemind-
ed If Germany is to be the ultimate VIC
tor, as perhaps he hopes, he would do
better to join his illustrious fellow coun-
out with the Kaiser But if not he might
deign TO ponder what great strategist,
our own Admiral Mahan, said on this
subject:
at is impossible for a military man or
statesman with appreciation of military
conditions to look at the map and not per-
ceve that the ambition Of the Irish sepa-
ratists realized would be even more
threatening to the national life than the
secession of the South was to that of the
American Union. 1t would be deadlier,
also, TO imperial aspirations, for Ireland
by geographical position lies across and
controls the communications of Great Brit
ain with all the outside world-save only
that considerable. but far from prepon-
derant, portion which borders the North
Sea and the Baltic"
About three years ago one of the party
of zealots TO which the adviser Of the
President belongs wrote as follows in
Irish Freedom: "War between England
and Germany is practically inevitable and
Its issue is uncertain Ireland
within the next few years will have the
greatest opportunity for asserting her in
dependence that has come since the days
Of Napoleon. She can use that opportu-
nifty or she can let it slip-but which is it
going TO be? Think well on it, men of
Ireland, and make up your minds; there
is not much time to lose"
The men of Ireland seem TO have lost
no me in making up their minds, and

An Appeal to British Women.

To the Editor of The Tribune.
Sir: Finding that it is not urgently re-
CURED the British Women's Hospital have
temporarily postponed their scheme for pre-
senting a base hospital TO the French gov
eminent They now wish 10 carry out work
that they are confident will appeal to the
sympathies of every member of the empire.
The site of the building of the Star and
Garter Hotel at Richmond has been pre-
scented to her majesty the Queen, who has
intmated her desire of giving it to the Brit
ish Red Cross Society for a home for our
paralyzed and totally disabled soldiers and
sailors.
The British Red Cross Society have de-
cided that it wolld be more economical TO
pull down the existing building and erect one
that will fulfil exactly the requirements of
such home. which is to be called the Star
and Garter Home, and they have asked the
committee Of the British Women's Hospital
to raise the funds necessary for this new
building. The British Women's Hospital con-
hdently appeal TO all British women at home
and over seas to help them to raise the neees-
sary sum of 100000.
They are sure that all women will welcome
this opportunity Of doing little for those
who have done so much for them, and es-
pecially invite their sisters in India and the
colonies who are sharing their anxiety. hope
and pride, TO share also in this permanent
memorial of their gratitude.

Sir: If the Germans are trying to get to

Salonica northward enough force could be
brought to bear to cut the land communities

were getting too far from their supplies, with
the stretches of Russia before them, that they

Edible Hatred.

The comprehensive forethought Of the
Germans receives each day new confrma.
ton. Their minute provision for the con.
tingencies of war appears almost uncanny
and one feels impelled through sort of
fascination to watch them piece together
apparently unrelated activities, agitations
and operations into the coherent fabric
which is their national strategy.
The latest fragment to find its little
niche in the puzzle is, it appears, their
hatred. This has its own important func-
ton in military economy, and that is to
nourish the nation through its period of
food shortage, to set at naught the grip of
the blockade. Every one will recall the in
ception of the campaign Of hate in prepa-
ration for the present famine, but who
could have supposed that when that emo
ton which inspired Lissauer's hymn ROSE
like mist over the Fatherland it was be-
ing deliberately cultivated for its food
value, The "Frankfurter Zeitung" | aves
US no doubt in the matter:
But as our worries increase, so day by day
grows our hatred against the enemy who l.
responsible for this misery. This hatred i.
so potent that it will nourish and sustain u
and inspire us to hold on until finally we
hack our way through, even though we have
drawn the belt sc tight around our bodies
that the mere act of breathing becomes a
trouble and WEAKNESS. Our hatred will
enable US to show the world of what tenacity
and endurance Germans are capable when
once they are sure of their cause.
The extreme degree of this hatred, it
will be remembered, is directed against
Great Britain, which maintains the block
ade-another instance of careful Teutonic
calculation. Most emphatically forward
looking people!
But just how much nourishment is con-
tanned in hatred? Those of us who have
tried to live on love have little confidence
in emotions content either of carbohy-
drates or proteins. In fact, we are in
clined to believe that one can live on love
even more sumptuously than one can fight
on hate. The experiment, however, will
bear watching-at distance.

For a New Peace Movement.
New York, Nov 4, 1915.

To the Editor of The Tribune.
Sir: The various "peace movements" ac-
CELEBRATED by some of the war shoppers seem
TO move mainly in the direction of prevent ng
the sale of munitions Of war to the Allies and
he incidental destruction of American in
dustries. with the almost outspoken eXplana-
ZION that without munitions the soldiers OF
the Allies could not defend themselves on
TIER own soil against the continued attacks
of the German invaders, and the Allies would,
therefore. be forced 10 surrender to the Ger
mans. with the result that the war of in-
vasion would cease and the conquered, for
several generations, could pay tribute to vic
torious Prussians.
We hear no outcry whatever against the
neutrals selling grain, foodstuffs and cloth
ing mot to mention munitions) for the Ger
man soldiers in order TO maintain them in
health and physical strength for their con-
tnued attacks upon and poisonous death
dealing blows to the poor soldiers who are
defending their own lives and homes in their
own native lands.
If the spineless and puff ball variety of the
Bryan stripe sincerely want to do something
practical, let them form a peace movement
10 accelerate German backward movement
from France, Belgium, Russia and Serbia, to
Germany, where they belong and may enjoy
to themselves the Prussan germs Of their
own culture and not infict them upon other
nations.
A peace movement Of this kind would re-
Seve the sincere support Of fair minded
people and be a sensible attempt to stop the
war and slaughter much sooner than would

oarently tinged with fear and hypocrisy.
