BroadwaY's Repaying.
ditor of The Tribune.

To the Editor Of The Tribune.
Sir: The complaints with respect 10 The
condition of Broadway between Forty-srih
and Fifty-ninth Streets, at a time when nee
essary repaving is being DONE are an IN
justice to the Bureau Of Highways, under
President Marks's jurisdiction. They are
misleading and are an unfair reflection upon
those connected with the Department OF
Street Paving
The Broadway Association conferred with
these officials weeks before the plans for re-
paving were prepared, and with the co6pers-
ton of business houses in the section named
agreed upon the most practical and feasible
method of rushing the work on thorough
fare which is one of the busiest In New
York.
Police traffic officials were likewise brought
into the conference, and IL was agreed "
repave one side of Broadway, thus permitting
traffic north and south to use the other hail
No other plan would have lessened the ten
porary disturbance
The repaving done now under the new sys'
tenn requires the laying of concrete Ia plses
of stones, and means az least fifteen years
longer wear and an improved roadway. re
Gently hirty-second Street was repayed De-
tween Fifth Avenue and Broadway under me
new method, and record was made In iime
and quality of work. This was secured y
the cooperation Of the Thirty-second strfs'
Association and Borough President Marks
President Marks has handled the pSvhs
Of Broadway in a most busnesslike manner
and 20 the entire satisfaction Of the Broad
way Association, which represents the me''
chants and other business men OF this IN
portant thoroughfare. also property owners

From a Plain American.

To the Editor of The Tribune.
Sir: Your editorial entitled "The Serbian
Campaign" is, in my judgment, one of the
best productions If not the best of the fer
tile brain of the editorial writer of your val
liable paper have had the pleasure of read
ing in great many years.
The writer of these lines notes with great
delight, among other things, the statement:
"Dplomatically, on the battlefield and in the
combination Of military operations, German
high command has scored brilliantly" He,
too, is of the opinion that, accepted as q
campaign, as an incident in the world war,
the Balkan operation is striking Teutonic
success, well conceived, perfectly executed
and highly profitable alike in military re-
suit and in increased prestige"
The writer has no hesitancy in predicting
that the final great battle will be fought in
Russia and in the FrancoBelgian fields. but
he has yet to be convinced that Wilhelm II,
Emperor of Germany, will meet his Water
loo on Russian and Franco Belgian soil
The writer Of this letter is neither a pro-
German. Austro Hungarian, Bulgar or Turk,
nor an ant-English, French, Russian, Italian
or Japanese. He is an American, just plain
American, nothing more and nothing less.
He feels as do all men and women Of this
free democracy, that the men in the trenches,
who endure all the hardships of modern war,
the tortures Of hell. are his brothers; that
we are all Gods people. children of one Crea-
tor. members OF the great brotherhood Of
men. He fervently prays that this world
strife will result in a profound peace for the
world at large. Bella ToKAJl.

The Upper Classes.

There are three classes: Arstocrats, ideal
lists (mostly young men from the middle
ranks who have gotten more or less educa-
tom and the plebe. The first class has al
ways ruled and will die hard when what il
considers its inherited birthright Is attacked
The "Sefor Don" or his son, can (and eX-
poets to) commit any abuse, unpublished.
They are vain as all classes are) and try
70 rule the country for their own interests.
They have no patriotism, in its true sense,
and, taking into account their greater oppor
tunities, are as irrespons BILE, in their civic
duties as is the plebe in all. Marshal Ba-
zaine says in mis- Memoirs" in speaking Of
the Mexican arstocracy: "I cannot under
stand how persons of such seemingly high
culture can be so false and deceitful. For
everything Mexican they have colossal con-
tempt They do not resemble the French Of
the same class, who, with all their faults,
adore France"
The young idealist would like to do some
thing, but he is usually too venal and too
Indifferent to even try to do anything eff
fective in the uplifting Of his country. His
personal interests are usually of more i'm
portsnce than the public veal The plebe
is ignorant and has no aspirations; he has
always been exploited and always expects
future.
All have had TO moral or civic education
and lack common honesty, as | have said
before hence we have lacking the very
factors that constitute the foundation of ma
tional life. Therefore, no results can be
hoped for from the Mexican himself, in the
way of building up nation-in reason
able time Carranza is of the best type
Of his country. and he tried to remove two
duly elected Governors. (Sinaloa and Sonora)
and has changed articles of the national
constitution by decree" What hopes can
be entertained for free, untrammelled gov
eminent for the people? What can be ex-
pected of or for the 80 per cent.

Madero's Experiment.

Madero was ahead OF mis- time. but his en-
vironment was not modern. However, he
would have tried TO govern for the people

better education, in order to enable the 80
per cent to take 4 larger part in governing
but the aristocrats (Cientifcos)

d, rmined. under De la Barra, before Madero
assumed the Presidency. So subtle and thor
ough had been his work that, had the Glen
tihcos but waited, they would have come into
power again by right Of education; and even
when Felix Diaz. with no greater following
than 5000, had practically dominated the
the Cientificos would have gained
the ascendency had they pot committed the
blunder and crime Of numbering Madero.
Madero was backed by public opinion,
otherwise he could never have succeeded as
h. did. After his death, although a large
part OF the SO per cent (plebes) and a small
part of the peg cent were in sympathy with
the revolutionary movement against the Glen

MEAT PACKERS APPEAL

! delivery of shipments to the ports 1 designated. The statement lays par ticular stress on the cases of five cargoes shipped before November 25 in neutral steamers for CooenhG gen, seized on the high seas on the ground that they were presumably ultimately destined for Germany. These cases. postponed from time to time. are set Iu come up in prize court again to- morrow.
 As reported to packers by their representative in England. Alfred Urion." says the statement. the lat est terms for the release of the car goes as laid down by Great Britain are held to be so onerous as to be unacceptable.
 Attorney Urion went to England, arriving there the latter part of Jan uary, in response to a request made by Sir Edward Grey through the English embassy at Washington. to discuss the seizure of shipments with q view of arriving at some conclus- ion in the matter.
 Until a week ago the packers were assured by their representative in England that the situation would be amicably adjusted, practically all the differences having been agreed upon and when a new set of unreasonable terms were suggested by the author ities. they were immediately rejected by packers.
 Tn brief the latest terms are:
 That packers guard Great Britain against claims arising out of the de- tention ships.
 That packers guarantee -Ireak Britain against claims of buyers who bought and paid for large quantities of the products seized.
 The packers assert this latest move by Great Britain is only anoth- CT step to delay a settlement of the problem, and that there appears to be absent a sincere desire to settle the controversy"
 In conferences with Anderson, the packers were insstent that the American government take firm ac- tion, and their statement says on

REPUBLICAN CARRIERS
 QUAFF WATERMELONS

It was Eddie Powell's idea. He want ed to lap up the lucious juice of sun dry ripe watermelons, and the best ex- cuse he could think of was to induce a prominent rancher-Johnson by name to donate the wherewithal. Being hospitable. and kindly like Powell, who officiates around as circluration damager of The Republican. bade a dozen of his route carriers mount their trusty iron steeds and pedal out on the Tempe road and then half mile south to the spot which MT. Johnson has se- lected for the growing of the fruit
 When the noise of watermelons being eaten by boys had subsided. it was like the case of the lady inside the tiger. and the grin on the map of that beast Thirty watermelons had been wrenched from their resting places. and had been deposited after the fashion of boys. in twelve interiors.
 Then, Powell sprung-or is it 'sprang' his stunt
 The full -tO-repletion kiddos were supposed to race back to the city Most of the young men had named their bi- cycles after popular makes of racing motorcycles. There were nine or elev- en Indians and one Harley Nine h. dians finished in order and one Harley was swamped in a rut full of dust There is some claim that the Harley rider had been fed more generously than any others. and that he was han dicapped but this is a matter for Doc Lane to look into
 The Republican thanks Mr Johnson. Powell thanks him. Twelve carriers thank him. In fact. the whole darn family thanks him

ANOTHER LONG STEP
 IN PHOENIX PROGRESS
A Detailed Description of It oy The
 Republican This Morninq

one section of The Republican this morning is devoted to a description of the new Jefferson Hotel. the men whose enterprise has established this up-to-date institution and the faith in Phoenix of the man who erected this great building and also the men not directly connected with the en- terprise but who have contributed to the construction of the building and the finishing and furnishing of the hotel There was a time when such a work as this would have had 10 be done by outsiders. But times have so changed that q great hotel sec ond to none in the southwest may be the result of local endeaVor
 The completion Of this hotel which for the last week has been open for business is another long step in the progress of Phoenix It furnishes another reason why strangers will want to come to the city and will want to stay here.
