Wants German Exclusion Law

To the Editor of The Tribune.
Sir: | have before me letter printed in
the May q issue of The Tribune, signed "A
German First and American Afterward,'
which | think deserves more than passing
notice. The writer calls attention to two
acts with which "the thinking and intelli-
cent population of the world are familiar.
First There is no country in the world
rs thorough in all its work and as systematic
IN preparing for all contingencies or unfore-
seen circumstances as Germany. Second -
There is no country in the world with as
many easy marks at its head as the United
States"
Examining the first fact" am sure there
is nobody, however biassed, who will not sub
scribe to it, Germany has certainly left no
stone unturned, be it the most intinitesmal
,cbble. in preparing for her great war for
re~s it is. No thoughts of conscience honor
or common decency have stood in her way;
nothing too low down or outrageous for her
or her people 10 do, as nothing done for the
Fatherand can be dishonorable.' Being on
terms of peace and friendly relations with
ether countries has not prevented her from
making the most deviish preparations within
their borders for gaining Ter ends at some
future time. Had all the other nations done
as Germany has done, the entire world would
have been impossible for human existence.
viii any other nation ever trust Germany
again, or will they receive German citizens
INTO their midst?
We have Chinese exclusion bill-why not
a German? For, according 10 Mr.. German

Perennial Policy.

When the late Al Adams was finally
convicted the police hailed the event as
the end Of policy playing in this city. Now,
with the arrest of several former asso-
ciatcs Of Adams on the charge Of backing
a policy game, the police again declare
that they have wound up
the evil. II is to be hoped they have; but
doubt is stronger than hope.
Policy is rated as about the meanest
game on earth. 1t takes the
pennies of newsboys and the lunch money
Of clerks when the runners can get moth
ing better. When the game is straight
the percentage is outrageOusly heavy
against the victim. Usually it is crooked
the opportunity for changing the mum
bers in the drawings is 50 good that 1t Is
seldom resisted-and then the players
have no chance at all. Policy survives
only because there's fresh sucker born
each minute, and it will hang on, despite
police vigilance. 50 long as the loot is
good. because it offers such tempting
profits.

Possibilities of Gas Warfare.

.i' "" ana NifffffOfJ
Il is interesting 10 speculate on the prob
able effects OF gas fighting on the character
Of warfare. Il is apparently useless for men
TO stay in trenches which are about to he en-
voopcd by the advancing wall Of vapor.
They must give ground. II they stay they
cannot fight. and their strength is immed-
atcly lost TO their own side. We imagine
that if gases were used by both sides the
tendency would be for the opposing armies
20 break apart and put a greater distance be-
tween their lines. At present the armies can
see the whites OF each others ewes. as the
saying is. The trenches are nearly chock-a-
block. Under the supposed conditions both
sides would have TO allow themselves room
10 dodge the gases. or course. the wind will
not always blow In the same direction. II il
blew dagonally across the battle front a
comparatively slight Encouragement Of the
troops might cyade the gas in good time. If
troops were fighting in the open. wholly
new kind Of tactics would be created. Sol
Jiers would have TO subject the wind TO their
purpose as much a. sailors did IN sailing
ship days. They would fight. like Nelson. for
the weather gauge. Nelson and his admiral
were happy when they lad their enemy 10
leoward. and the gas fighter would struggle
70 gain the corresponding position. We dare
sa' that the weather would, as a matter OF
fact. mostly be in our favor. The prevailing
winds AZ the summer would probably put the
Germans normally TO lceward Indeed. the
more we think Of II the more We are inclined
20 believe that the Germans have revived
stiukpot warfare too late They have prob
ably bundered once again. The Allies will
emerge from the oily clouds Of drifting
