The Police Band Plays.

An event Which will not be noted IN the
music reviews of the newspapers yet
which deserves some notice, is the annual
concert of the Police Band, TO be held on
December 8 at Suffers Harlem River
Park. and 70 be repeated the following
night at Prospect Hall, Brooklyn. Inc
Police Band is an organization not without
honor in its own line. 1t yields much
pleasure and entertainment, and this IS
not confined to department functions, for
it gives it's services to many charitable
affairs each year.
These concerts are held in order to raise
funds TO keep the band instruments in
good condition, to purchase music and to
pay the band instructor. 1t is worthy
purpose. The band deserves and should
receive hearty encouragement from the
public on these occasions in return for the
real help it has given to others.
New-York tribune. [volume] (New York [N.Y.]) 1866-1924, 1915-12-06
Early Christmas Shopping.

However much the public may differ on
the question of military preparedness,
there are signs in abundance that there is
no great difference of opinion on another
kind Of preparedness-being ready for
Christmas. The holiday season is not
three weeks away, and already the stores
show the annual rush and hustle to buy
gifts. 1t is none too early.
Shopping now will save the customers
labor and inconvenience which even the
greatest mercantile resources and the fin
est courtesy cannot prevent later, when
the last-minute crush is at hand. Shopping
now will ease the burdens of store work
ers, whose task at the best is hard enough
at this time Of the year. Procrastination
can only bring toll and trouble TO those
who buy and a WEAKNESS Of body and
spirit to those who sell which do not fit
with the spirit of Yuletide. Fortunately,
the public is learning this, and, co6perat-
ing with the most enlightened merchants
is working out a distribution of holiday
purchasing over the weeks preceding
Christmas, instead of leaving everything
until the few days just before the holiday,
as was once the general habit.
Yet repetition of the familiar injunc-
ton, 'Do your Christmas shopping early"
is not amiss. There is unquestionable
wisdom, a certain patriotism, in pre-
paredness. Preparedness for the holidays,
when it includes the selecting of purchases
in ample time TO avoid the cruel strain
and tension on workers minds and bodies,
is patriotic. No nation is greater than its
workers. Consideration for them is real
patriotism, and at no time is it more fine,
more welcome, than at the season Of good
will to ones neighbors.

tuberculosis Week.

Throughout the country this week an
organized effort is to be made to whip up
the Tagging interest of the public in the
elimination Of tuberculosis. Many pam
phlets or leaflets have been prepared for
distribution among the people, lectures
have been planned and arrangements
made for the exhibition of moving pict-
ures illustrating in a lively manner the
ravages Of the disease and teaching the
importance of early diagnosis and timely
treatment, as well as the necessity Of ade-
quate prophylactic measures.
There can be no doubt that periodical
reminders of this kind are desirable
There can be no doubt that the public Is
thoughtless and very apt to forget good
advice. Neither can it possibly be doubted
that the enthusiasm so widespread at the
outset of the crusade against the Great
White Plague is rapidly dwindling. 1t Is
not altogether the fault Of forgetful
public that this is so. The blame lies
largely, if not mainly, on the indiscree'
zeaots whose fantastic promises and pre-
dictions were so widely advertised few
years ago. They underestimate the
power Of their foe; their predictions have
not been fulfilled their promises are not
even in a fair way TO fulflment.
II would be idle TO pretend that the
popular campaign has been strikingly sue
cessful; considering the vast sums spent
upon it, the results are as yet profoundly
disappointing. But the disappointment
may be attributed in large measure TO the
false hopes raised by fantastic orators
who foolishly led the public to expect that
by the present methods the scOurge could
be wiped out in few years.
II the new effort is to be Of any real
service, II should be free Of extravaganza
and enthusiasm. Much can be done in
the way Of popular education, but nothing
what.ksr can be gained by filling the

In Praise of Free Lunches.

ton. The necessity of reducing living ex

free lunches in saloons
Daily call at number of Offices looking
for work When lunch time comes. expert.
ence has taught me-and many others-,ha,
the cheapest lunch available is to be had al
the free counters in saloons. By buying one

Peace-Mr. Wilson's Glory.

To the Editor Of The Tribune.
Sir: II is amazing how you can sympathze
with the varied paltry political attacks, now
N the atmosphere, directed against President
wilson and his administration. About the
most conspicuous of these is that Of ex-
President Taft's most recent endeavor TO get
a wedge in on The Philippine policy. This
nanpuvre Of Mr.. Tafts is characterized quite
accurately and impressvely by Secretary Gar
rieon. Unless newspaper holds itself aloof
from petty politics it cannot obtain the in
luence Of nationalism; and if The Tribune
persists in these unworthy efforts to pu.
the "Ins" out and the outs" in, as the chilly
Republicans are more or less actively engaged
in. your otherwise interesting paper will fail
n resume the position it once held before the
country under Horace Greeley. Mr.. Wilson
has had his hands full all THROUGH his three
wears Of expired service-he has made mis-
axes. as no human judgment is perfect; but
had either ex-President Taft or Roosevelt
been in his place, we would doubtless either
have had war; or things all messed up through
Taft's incompetency by this time.
Just 10 think Of tive the greatest nation
on earth at peace with everybody. Wilson
has accomplished this. W. Z. LETTING.

to all. 1t has earned the contempt of the
world; it has provoked the wrath and in
dignation of Americans; it has failed TO
satisfy the hyphenates, who believed that
by their political influence they could
make the American government the cats
paw of the Kaiser's ministers and Wash
ington a German colony.
If the Republican minority in Congress
now attempts TO turn to its own advan-
tage Mr.. Wilson's failure to enlist Ger
man-Americans in the Democratic ranks
If it seeks to turn German-American SEN
timent to its own end, it will fail, because
it is impossible for any party or admin
istration to preserve even the smallest
remnant Of self-respect and popular ap-
prova and also retain the German-Amer-
lean support But the Republican minor
ity will DO more than this; it will confess
itself bankrupt in patriotism and honor;
it will confess itself a party without pur-
pose or policy, without courage or con-
viction.
All over this land there are evidences
growing more numerous every day, that
the people of the United States demand
courage, insist that American lives and
American honor shall be protected, wheth-
err or not the cost be war. Already there
are unmistakable signs that this popular
emotion is making itself felt in Washing
ton and is squirting reluctant admins
tration to a party show of activity. If
there is any political advantage to be
grasped in the present situation it is only
to be grasped by courageous declaration
of position and principle.
The Tribune believes that the Republi-
cans in the Senate and in the House
should without delay offer and press for
passage a resolution calling upon the
President of the United States to suspend
all relations, diplomatic and other, with
the Imperial German Government until
such time as the Lusitania crime is dis
avowed and the Imperial German Govern
ment agrees to send to The Hague the
question of indemnity.

'AMERICANIsM VS.. CcWARDICE'
Comment Ranging from Delight n
Our Phrases to Pure Gratitude.
To the Editor Of The Tribune.

To the Editor Of The Tribune.
Sir: The Tribune's editorial page is even
more characteristics than usual this morning.
Hanging from the editorial entitled "Ameri-
6anism Vs. Cowardice," through the CORE
spondence to the poem By Joseph Halloran'
entitled "How Long?" one encounters the fol-
lowing delightful phrases; "The Lusitania
Crime" Insult to American Honor" when
American men, women and children had been
murdered" "The most shameful chapter IN
American history" I'VE can put the strange
hold on Germany" Germany is now waging
war upon u.s." Punish the murder which
they have perpetrated," "This alien viper
brood"
How pleasant this Is for your many read
ers who buy your paper, as do, only to enjoy
F. p. A.. Perhaps / am wrong in this, but
my idea Of an editorial is that it should be
argumentative, not abusive; reasoning, not
vituperative. l would like to answer your
"Americansm VS.. Cowardice," but there is
nothing to answer, no argument TO refute
One cannot answer mere abuse or expressions
OF opinion not based on any tangible facts
without going into such detail as to make
opinions are, In themselves, of no particular
consequence to any one, but the unfortunate
effect given them By the fact Of their con-
spicuous position on your editorial page Is
to mislead the unthinking reader who has not
the time to investigate or fails to under
stand that editorial utterances are not gospel
| wasted considerable time some months
ago in answering one Of your editorials in
which you assumed to prove Germany's re-
sponsibility for the Lusitania disaster, but
my letter was not published. l gather from
my observation of your columns that you
only publish such letters es praise or coin
eide with your views, or such Of the other
sort as can be ridiculed, as was the letter you
printed this morning with the caption, This
Editorial Proves Democracy Doomed, Thank
Cod" Yet in that letter there is not one
fact misrepresented. Can that be said Of
your editorial?
Our democracy" is, OF course. farce, and
our civilization" sham. The anglo
American traitors" are too rich and too pow
erfu to be exposed by the press. 1t is not
strange. therefore, If they have succeeded in
deluding both the administration and that
portion of our population which fattens upon
their leavngs. j. q. !.

A Decisive Statement.
tor Of The Tribune.

To the Editor Of The Tribune.
Sir: Every true American reader Of the
editorial "drive" you put over" this morn
ING, "Americanism versus Cowardice,' will be
thankful for It. As a decisive statement OF
your position in regard 20 the circumstances
which the Great War has created in this
country and the line of action you would
follow. the brief summary you make OF the
inactivities of President Wilson which make
orr nation seem so helpless marks it as q
climax to a long series of bull's-eye editorials.
The Presidents policy is one of enthusiasm
in which the figures 1918 are of enormous
size. He persists in lodging the lines of ac-
ton that the necessity and self-respect OF
the country dictate. You cannot too bitterly
condemn the prevalent spirit Of not demand
ing our rights for which the administration
is responsible. Herbert Croly says that an
American is nothing il he is not patriotic.
This patriotism, now lacking, placed US fore
most among nations before the war. Edito-
rails such as to-day's will help to bring the
reople into their own.
