Where the Responsibility Lies.

Controller Prendergast intends TO make
it perfectly plain TO the taxpayers, in send
ing out their bills for 1916, that the big
lump they find in the tax rate is not TO
be charged to the city administration.
That is merely the simplest justice to
Mayor Mitchell and his associates.
Though the budget for the coming year
will go S12.OOO,O00 over the S2OO,OOO,OOO
mark, the budget makers have kept the
total appropriations for city purposes
about $4,000 below the total for this year
"a real achievement when the necessary
increases are taken into account. The
raise in the budget and the consequent
raise in the tax rate are due entirely to
the direct state tax. If any individual
believes that state tax to be necessary and
Unsuitable he should pay his share of 1t
cheerfuly. If he believes i. to be due to
figure Juggling and extravaganza he
should visit his vengeance where it be-
longs. That is not on the present city adj
ministration, which has done remarkably
well with a remarkably difficult situation.
New-York tribune. [volume] (New York [N.Y.]) 1866-1924, 1915-11-02

running dangerous risks. 1t is important
also to observe that in the months OF June,
July and August half of the fatalities and
third of the injuries were of children
under sixteen years old. Most OF these
may be attributed with some confidence TO
the reckless way in which playing about
the streets is INDUCED in, a state of affairs
considerably mitigated of late by the es-
tablishment of the so-callcd play streets.
In conclusion, it is clear that as condi-
tons generally have of late been improved
to an amazing degree by the proper regu-
lation Of vehicular traffic, so it is high
time for the pedestrian TO play his part
in the reform; for it is obvious that sub
stantial reduction in the still appalling
number of street accidents can never be
occurred till our citizens come to realize
that New York is no longer village.

No Mercy for the Takers.

ing the filing Of list of ingredients of So
called patent or proprietary medicines the
Board of Health has served notice on the
patent medicine takers that it intends to
enforce that provision vigorously. They
are talking fight They should have all
the fight they want, and DR.. Goldwater
seems determined to make it hot one.
No reputable proprietary medicine, for
which false claims are not made, can be
harmed by the enforcement of this regu-
lation. There will be no revealing OF
trade secrets" The formula will go on
file in a bureau of the Board of Health
and will be inspected only by responsible
trustworthy officials of that department

Germs have told the Health Commissioner
they would comply with the rule when 1t
went into effect
Only the makers of cures who dare
not submit their nostrums to fair Official

iect Such manufacturers are menace

within the scope of action of the Health
Denartment. There should be no mercy

GERMANY is BEATEN"
Striking Parallel Between Present
and Russo Japanese Peace
Parleys.

To the Editor of The Tribune.
Sir: Apropos your leader this morning,
which adds one TO your long list OF centre
shots on the war, and the War Lords myster-
ious talk with Mr.. Gerard, don't you think the
present situation is quite a bit suggestive OF
the last days Of the Russo-Jepanese War?
The Jap leaders knew they were beaten be-
fore any one on the outside suspected il. They
were winning battles right along, but never
decisive one. All Of the time after the
carly stages. they were bleeding to death, y
ae the Toutons are now. With every advance
they were losing ground, and they were very
much more anxious for peace than were the
Russians. though they sought by every means
to give the opposite impression. SO they in
cUceG Roosevelt to step in and stop the fight.
The Mighty Hunter, delighted with his new.
and strange, role, played 1t with all of his
superb aGroitness. Knowing that Japan would
n,cede. though with apparent reluctance, he
made his appeal so strong that Russia was
forced to consent to peace parley.
The japanese delegates to the Portsmouth
conference, as is now we'll known and as was
known at the time to very few, were in
s;ructcd TO make peace; to bluff and buster
IS much as they pleased and get the best
terms they could, but, in any case, to make
peace. The shrewd Witte suspected this stu
;tion if he did not know all of the facts, but
the sympathy of the world was with the Japs,
so he was obliged to follow their lead and do
the best he could, knowing peace treaty
vas az the end Of the negotiations.
May not the Kaiser have adopted the Jap
anese plan, knowing he is in the same sort of
fix they were in, but worse one? German
diplomacy has made worse blunders, heaven
knows. In the present case, however, the
sympathy of the universe is with the Allies,
and. even to win another Nobel prize. Wilson
could not afford to resort to the trickery OF
Roosevelt. He wouldn't, anyway. Taking him
OF his own word, the Allies would know that
any peace proposals from him were made in
Germany" even if he did not tell them so.
SO the chances are that nothing will come of
the Potsdam parley, don't you think?
More power to you. READER.

Aerial Insult.

Every one interested in the progress OF
aviation will be happy to learn that a USE
and a valuable one, has been found for the
late Pegoud's innovation of looping the
loop. Looping the loop became a passion
with aviators after Pegoud had won inter-
national fame in the air. Aviators Young
and DID, in monoplanes and biplanes, over
land and over sea, attempted 1t before
crowds rivaling those which used to flock
to aviation meets in the beginning of the
sport. And not a few aviators lost
their lives seeking thus to initiate the
great Frenchman; finally prompting the
question, OF what value to aviation COM
parable with the destruction Of splendid
human material which its acquisition
entails is this ability to fly upside down?
The reply is at hand in Paris dispatch,
which quotes an American member of the
French aviation corps as explaining that
when the Germans begin firing their anti
aircraft guns 1--WE go up about 1000
metres and loop the loop over their lines.
They get so mad they can't shoot any more.
Yes, it is the worst insult we can offer
in the air. It's like thumbing ones nose
at them"
Poor Pegoud! Let US hope that this
discovery of the military and moral value
of looping the loop was made before he
met his brave fate in the late summer.
For no man, and particularly 10 French
man, could feel that he had lived in vain
had he originated this piquant method Of
confounding the enemy

overnight on the outskirts of each post.
The military authorities were helpless. ana
there, unfortunately, are sold INFERIOR
liquors, drugged liquors and even wood alco-
hol mixtures, while sharks of both sexes
congregate to exploit the soldier.
Why does he go there? Because he has
nowhere else to go. 1t is the only place
where he is made welcome. In all public
entertainments the uniform of the United
States is looked at askance. 1t is discrlmi-
mated against in every way-people VINO

tradesmen, servants, even street corner
loafers. forbid them to associate with our
soldiers. If the public would accord the
honorable and unselfsh profession OF the
soldier the respect it deserves and the same
homes which would otherwise be open 70
him would receive him, he would no longer
feel that the only thing his country did not
consider too good for him was the prlvi-
lege of dying for it,
