GERMAN BRUTALITY
They Rule by Force and Only Under
stand Force.


To the Editor OF The Tribune.
Sir: II seems difficult for Americans to
understand the German temperament. Some
believe that the German authorities are not
responsible for the murders and atrocities
committed | have lived in Germany and
neighboring countries and am Of the opinion
that the authorities in Germany are more
brutal than the man in the street. Germany
rules her own people and her conquered peo-
pie by force and brutality even in time OF
peace, as shown by numerous instances in
Schleswig- Holstein and the Zabern affair.
When such is her rule in peace, can we ex-
pect diplomacy or mercy from her in time Of
war;
German nature is naturally brutal | know
il, as have German blood in my veins and
hate my own nature. hate Germans still
more when I see a crowd Of them laughing
end cheering In front OF a bulletin board
when an act Of murder like the sinking Of
the Lusitania Is committed. Germany has no
respect for anything but force. America will
assuredly be laughed to scorn unless she re-
sorts to force, not fighting, but such acts as
confscating German ships and interning Ger
man residents. ). A. FLEMAEk'

Trust Women and Men

Sir. Everett F. Wheeler closes a long disc
course full Of misleading statements win
"1g III. mothers viii DO their part IN the
future and give their heart and soul 10 The
education and training Of their boys and
girls we need have no fear for the future.
This is typical anti-suFrage slogan. Inc

Sufragists do not say that all men are
bad, but as division Of the people they are
not better thar women. and have no better
right to vote. How long would the saloons
and gambling dens and dives last il the men
0id not patronizo them?
How much business would there be for
the criminal court If the men would be bet

What great harm have women done where
they have voted for many years?

posed to having the burden thrust upon

To the Editor OF The Tribune
Sir: There are two facts that, 10 my mind,
stick out pretty clearly in the present state
homogeneity in the people. think that
hyphens are dangerous. SO much so that if
up TO me II would become an unsafe express
sion. immigration should have closed sea
sons, one year open one year closed or three
years and two years. Something TO break the
continuity Of the internal barbarous, dan
gerous influx, practical invasion, which is so
demoralzng TO our native working popula-
ton.
The second point IS our utter impotence in
the face OF a sudden necessity. We are in no
position to make ourselves felt in Mexico,
not TO speak Of possible japanese or Euro
pean complications. For comparison to-
day. some one has aptly put il, note the
impotence Of that big country China, with
hundreds OF millions Of inhabitants, in the
hands Of Little Japan, active, alert. prepared
and warlike. Il is only a thorough. inbred
pachst who would reject the object lesson.
Some day we are bound TO have terrible
awakening
We must have a militant President like
Colonel Roosevelt or Mckinley. The paralyz-
ing fear OF eventualities that seems TO per-
wade the White House seems to me an ex-
ceedingy dangerous state of affairs. | do
not consider the present administration as
representative Of the country at large. I
would ike TO remark that, in my judgment.
posterity will regard Theodore Roosevelt as
ranking with any of the great military gem
fuses of the past When he sent our ships
TO Japan they understood what that meant:
so did every one here except the pacifsts.

A Timely Decision.

pr. Derrburc has done wisely in re
solving 90 leave this country at the earli-
est opportunity. When first he began 70
discuss the war he was generally wei
coined ae the eohcrest. most reasonable
md best informed Of the many Germans
who had undertaken 20 preach the Ger
man doctrine for the instruction Of Amer
cans. There was o FEASIBILITY IN his ar
runcrts. a show Of caudor. that was usu-
allv lacking i'm those put forward hy his
German American friends, and after the
blatant nonsense of Mr.. Ridder and his
kind It was a relief TO meet one who did not
proceed on the assumption that his readers
were irnbecies. but reasoned with them
more or less as thinking beings, refrain
ING from fights Of rhetoric and appar-
emily recognizing the possibility that they
might hold opposite opinions without hav-
ing been bribcd by France or Great Britain
or Russia.
Unfortunately for Or. Dernburg, he did
not wear very we'll The tact he showed
at first dit not stand the strain Of recent
events. Perhaps he spoke and wrote TOO
much: certainly he spoke and wrote too
often. As an occasional commentator he
was less successful than rs a generalizer
on the qualities. aims and cndeavors or
his court~yner. While he stuck TO alb
stract cor -,deratiors he did very well;
when he turned to matters Of history he
presented them in way that was attrac-
tive. and. II coIo~ed. no more so than might
be expected Of any historian with Tur-
pose. But when he had to deal with cur
rent affairs he had inacE OF treating
teen7 in manner that was not Away
easv 10 accept, and was sometimes so OF
fensive 70 reason and common sense that
in the end his expositions came TO be one
Of the minor nuisances Of the war.
His apology for the Lusitania disaster
was the final effort of this kind and the
worst. Il is true that he did not com
NIT himself TO the wild stupidities that Mr..
Ridder INDUCED in. He did not boast IN
the same gleeful and insenSate way about
the "larrer game that the submarines
rere NOW hacging. or warn Americans IN
50 many words that they might as well
face the facts" He did not conclude, az
Mr.. Ridder did, that this glorious feat
would put an end to the talk Of German
"savagery" and make people change the
temper Of their thought But if his
manners were a little less gross and in
decent than Riders, his Judgment Of
American temper was no better, for he
crowned a series of blunders by attempt
ing in his usual plausible style TO con-
vince his hearers that Germany's be-
bavior on this occasion was perfectly cor
rect.
DR.. Dernburg began his career very
pronisingly. but he broke down, as so
many Of his countrymen have broken
down. by a peculiar inability to judge the
character Of his audience or TO divine
their sentiments. Il is time for him to so.

THE EARLY FALL HAT
A STYLE WHICH, UNBECOMING,
YOU MAY HAVE TO ACCEPT.
This, Like Previous SartOrial Bra
vadoes, Will BE Accepted. Once
Brought Rebuke From Church.

There is apprehension in the air
about the new millinery. There is no
longer any doubt that the autumn
hats will be almost brimless and un-
usually high. Neither of these feat
ures recommends itself to the aver
age woman. She does not possess the
face to wear such hat. Youth, glo-
rious, insolent youth, which in these
recent days has been able to take I'M
to itself any of the sartorial brava-
does of the hour, will, probably,
adopt these hats that SAVIOR, unpleas-
antly, of the reign of Louis XI, whose
era was enlivened by the wit of Fran
co.'s Villon and by the hennin which
brought it's obdurate wearers a stern
rebuke from the church.
Any and all kinds of high, brimless
hats seems to be on the milliners
shevles. The silk top hat, worn by
the school boy at Elton, is among the
number and has already been worn
in New York much to the amusement
of the bystanders, who thought it was
merely a theatrical trick. 1t appears
now that it was a genuine fOrerunner
of a new fashion.
1t goes with the broad Elton collar
of stiffened linen which the shops
have been trying to make popular
since April. When a young woman
adds the hat and the collar to short
Elton jacket of velvetten it is pity
that the excessively narrow skirt has
ceased to be, for its addition as final
touch to the costume would be an ex-
cellent mimicry of British boyhood.
Another point about the new hats
is the promised use of flowers. This
is done in Paris to give plentiful work
to the thousands of f1owermakers
among the women and girls, and it
may spread over here. Everywhere
one sees evidence now of the employ
ment of available and needy human
material by the French fashion cen.
tiers.

wards high bank, and into it before
it could be stopped. None OF the oc-
cupants were thrown out, but Mr..
Martin, who was seated with his feet
hanging out of the door on the left
side, had his leg pushed against the
prest-o-lite tank, cutting the flesh on
the inside of his right leg to the
bone for a distance of eight or nine
inches, seVering an artery.
