A QUESTION FOR MR.. PRIETH
What Are the Other Nationalities in
the German Neutrality League!

To the Editor of The Tribune.
Sir: In setting his seal of approval
on that famous GERMAN-German neu-
trality meeting, Mr.. Benedict Prieth in
q letter in Sundays Tribune) for the
most part but reiterates what we all
know-or should know by this time
that we are not neutral in selli.g ap-
pies TO sure-footed John when Hans,
who has strained his back treading that
slippery street called Diplomacy, lies
abed diving. But there is one state
ment he makes which goes beyond the
cut-and-drie formula laid down by
the German-A American Correspondence
School for Those Germanophlles VINO
Have to Write to the Paper. In this
statement, the latter part OF which IN
cludcs A typical German-American fling
at American honor and sense o. tair
play, he says: Friends of neutrality
Of many nationalities are numbered
among it's the Neutrality Leagues
members"
Now, my reason for troubling you,
Mr.. EDITOR, with this missive is that |
wish to trouble Mr.. Prieth to back up
this statement with the proof. VIII he
please, through your columns, name
four (as niggardly Interpretation OF
the word many members OF as many
different nationalities, exclusive OF Ger
many, Turkey, Austria and Catholic
Ireland? If, in making his selection,
he will put the names of all the mem
hers of this league in his hat and select
four at random the game Will have an
added charm and uncertainty.
Then there is another little remark
which shouldn't be allowed to pass un-
challenged. He informs US, in effect,
that this great country Che quantity
speaks of it as "oursO. whose motto is
peace en- Sunday. business other days
is the only neutral nation which has
not placed an embargo on the eXporta-
ton of arms and ammunition, and he
cites Italy, Holland. Switzerland and
Denmark as those whose sense of fair
ness has led them already TO declare
this embargo. Has it not occurred to
Mr.. Preth that possibly these four
countries three Of them small, COW
eted neighbors of Germany-are con-
serving their munitions of war as a
bulwark for their independence in case
the tide of battle turns against the
Allies? Fortunately, the European sit
uation is such that we in this country
see no necessity as yet for guarding
against the German peril, but II that
time ever comes, which heaven forbid.
when we are menaced by Germans from
within and without, Mr.. Prieth will
have his wish. and the expectation of
arms will be prohibited. A. +. l..

The English Tartuffe.

To the Editor Of The Tribune.
Sir: The English Tartufe is again
70 the front. There are a few of
them. Mr.. Frank Harris, lately ar
rived here, yesterday contributed an
article on the war to your contempt
rary, "The Sun" The tenor Of the
article leads one to suspect that Mr..
Harris is in the pay of the German
propagandists in this country. II is
inconceivable he would put his name
to such hypocritical drivel for nothing.
Like the majority of his fellow-work-
ers in this cause, he does not recoil
from diStorting facts to suit his fan
tastic ideas and opinions. There ia
a note of humor in the peculiar Ger
man angle of viewing and weighing
facts in that it invariably leaves out
Of account the rights of the other
fellow-"Deutschland uber Allies" Mr..
Harris registers well up to this stand
ard.
take one line from the article in
question, which think puts Mr.. Har.

Fair Play to the Railroads Stimulates
Prosperity.
Prosperity.

The placing since January Of orders for ocomo-
tiyes, cars and supplies amounti.s to S3OYOOO'OOO
in value is the response of the railroads to the
Christmas order of the Interstate Commerce Com
mission allowing a per cent increase in freight
rates. These increases affected only the eastern
half of the country. In that territory the Penn
svlvana Railroad alone has just ordered $4,000
new cars, TO cost $18,OOO,OOO.
II is obvious that the railroads cannot enlarge
their equipment and thus keep manufacturers
busv unless they are making living income. 1t
had been the theory Of the Interstate Commerce
Commission for years past that the railroads
ought to go on spending money whether they
earned il or not. Most roads were consequently

The United States destroyed her
own trade during the Civil War. Under
the circumstances shipbuilding natu-
rally languished, ship owners were
ruined by their vessels being either
sunk by the combatants or kept tied
up in port; and by the time the
United States began to recover and
look about her after the four year
conflict had been settled our trade
was definitely in the hands of other
nations. Conditions had changed also
in that the Civil War practically
marked the passing of the old wooden
sailing vessels as the dominant factor
in matters marine. Steel and steam
replaced them. Perhaps if our attention
had not then been urgently turned on
the question of inland communication
and the rebuilding OF other things
destroyed By the war we might have
beaten England in the race for sea
supremacy. As it was. nobody tried
TO. Railroads took up all our time, APP
parently. OF late years shipping men
say they are hampered by ridiculous
and irritating governmental regula-
tions. The adjectives are not mine,
though neither do ] dispute them. The
head of one Of our largest coastwise
trading companies has said that while
the present laws are preposterous and
difficult he merely prays Congress may
not attempt to change them, lest a
worse thing befall. | suppose we need
an expert shipping board, such as the
English have, to look after such matters
and frame needed legislation; instead

The county council ought to solve the problem

Referring to my resignation as at
tendance officer for Wayne county,
according to law l should have taken
office on August l, but when l reported
to County Superintendent Williams he
told me that as Secretary Melpolder
OF the social service bureau had taken
over the Richmond city school district
and that there wouldn't be anything
tor me to do until Septembe IS, and
then only two days a week.
! 1t was also limited that under the
changed conditions the trustees out.
side Of Richmond and Cambridge City
would have to take care of the attend
ance Of their own school districts.
Superintendent Williams also said that
he did not think that l could legally
serve, as I actually lived outside of
the district in which was to serve.
Although the impression has been
made on the public that Melpolder
would serve without pay, yet it is an
actual fact that either Melpolder or
the social service bureau will get
$500 for his services. which leaves
only 5000 for the balance OF the
county.
Either for financial or political rea-
sons, or both. when the present trustee
Of Wayne township took Office. he was
asked to appoint Melpolder as his
deputy. for which purpose the trustee
is allowed $500 year. Failing this,
the Richmond school board asked Mr..
Williams (after one Of the members
had already endorsed my apphcation)
to place Melpolder's name before the
county board of education as an ap-
plicant for attendance officer of Wayne
county. but Mr.. Williams refused.
] merely state these facts to satisfy
inquiring friends, especially those who
so kindly endorsed my application.
! presume that If the social service
bureau succeeds in having Melpolder
appointed probation officer, 1t will not
be so much as to saving the county
money. as 1t will be to secure an
other contribution toward his salary.
