Scarborough and Zabern.

The United Kingdom has no Zabern. 1t
/ has. however, a Scarborough, which, by
way of contrast, should go down in his
tory side by side with Zabern. For Scar
borough very recently was the scene of a
| Zabern incident whose settlement places
in the sharpcst juxtaposition the civiliza-
tons Of the two chief beligerents.
Buried among advertisements near the
bottom of "The Dundee Advertisers last
page lately there appeared this item:
At Scarborough yesterday Brigadier Cen
eral.N. T. Nickalls was fined two guneas for
assaulting a young civil servant named llors-
man. The brigadier had asked Horsman to
enlist during the recent recruiting effort, and
Horsman had replied that the government
would not release him, but he had since been
released and had enlisted. 1t stated that
when Horsman told him he had applied IN
successfully to be released the brigadier said:
That's a lie; don't believe you" Horsman,
feeling in his pocket for the papers, replied
that he would prove who was the liar, where
uron the officer struck him, saying: III
teach YOU TO call me a liar" The brigadler
told the bench that Korsman called him a
liar first, and a man in his position who was
20 insultod in public had no other redress,
whether it was legal or not. Before leaving
the court the brigadier shook hands with
Horsman, with whom he chatted while the
magistrates were consulting.
1t will be noted that the convicted Brit
ish general, in time of war, merely slapped
the civilians face. Lieutenant Baron Won
Forstner, in Zabern, in time of peace,
carved the crippled shoemaker's scalp with
his sabre while one of his men held the
victim. And Lieutenant Baron Won Forst-
ner was acquitted.
But how typically British is the uncon-
scious dismissal of this episode at Scar
borough as barely worth mentioning in the
routine of the days news, when its signifi-
canoe staggers the imagination! What
need for White Papers and White Books
with Zabern and Scarborough on the map!

Sterling Exchange.

The recent phenomenal drop in sterling
exchange should be regarded simply as an
annoyance. 1t means that Great Britain,
whose credit, with the exception, perhaps,
Of our own, is the best in the world, is
finding it physically difficult to pass us the
money to pay for tremendous wartime
purchases. The deposit of gold in Ottawa
is running low and the activity Of Ger
man submarines discourages direct pay
ment
The tendency in some quarters to rejoice
because the dollar is now worth STOP in
English gold is therefore quite as unrea-
sonable as the more rarely expressed fear
that John Bull has arrived at the end of
his financial tether.
But what is he TO do about it? German
submarines are likely to continue and even
TO increase their interference. And he
must continue and even increase his pur-
chases of supplies from Uncle Sam. The
obvious remedy is to create large credit
here. But this raises the question of col
lateral. There is reason to believe that
Americans do not care for British wal
bonds. American securities they would be
glad to take But foreign holders Of these
show no general inclination to part with
them.
There is talk in London Of ''mobiliza-
ton" Of English-held Americans" as the
basis of a credit on this side. There is also
talk Of shipments Of gold here from South
Africa, outside the beat Of the German
submarine. Some effective remedy will be
decided upon soon, no doubt, 10 the greater
comfort of both creditor and debtor.

MR.. BRYAN'S NEW FRIENDS,
Support of German Army Veterans
a Sufficient Commentary.
To the Editor of The Tribune.

To the Editor of The Tribune.
Sir: Speaking, he says, for 100000 loyal
American citizens who have served in the
German army" Mr.. Chrstoph Rebhan states
in to-day's Tribune that he and the other
299 ,999 German veterans are opposed to the
policy followed by President Wilson," and
that 1--WE are in full accord with the actions Of
former Secretary of State William Jennings
Bryan, in each and every respect"
The American people and the American
press have declared themselves as being
squarely behind and with the President; Mr..
Bryan and his German friends declare them
selves as being emphaticaly opposed to the
President This helps to clear the air,
though it was perfectly clear before, as far
as those gentlemen are concerned
This combination of Mr.. Bryan and these
x-German soldiers is highly interesting.
Strange mates are these in a "howery bed"
Of peace!-Mr. Bryan, advocate of peace-at-
any-price, and these 100000 former members
Of the army of the advocates of war-at-any-
cost! Whatever mystery may be connected
with Mr.. Bryan's noble and sef-sacrlfcng
surrender Of such large part Of his Cab
net Chautauqua" income, in the thought OF
the American people far as his new-tound
German friends concerned his policy IS
perfectly clear and delightfully."- acceptable
some of our other over-hyphenated friends,
the Irish American-pro- German British
brigade, might also get in" on this; the
grape juice is fine acceptable not because
that policy makes for peace, but because the
result of it would nightly favor the inter
ests of that which is directly responsible for
this horrible war and all its loathsome accom-
paniments German militarism.
We hope that Mr.. Bryan is proud Of his
supporters. He has certainly clinched the
TeutOnic vote; he'll need all the tonic he
can get We trust also that he and they may
understand that they speak for themselves
only, and for whatever private interests that
they may have to serve. German veterans"
may be "for Bryan" but American veterans,
sons and grandsons of American veterans, are
for the President and for the safety, honor
and welfare OF our country Contrary TO Mr..
Bryans 100000 German late-military parti-
sans many millions of Americans with only
one country declare themselves as in full ac
cord with the policy followed by President
Wilson" and as being absolutely opposed TO
the factions Of former Secretary Of State

respect" WILLIAM II. WATTS,

Feminism's Blow to Literature.

One by one traditions and conventions
20 topping over in this age of progress
or iconoclasm Justice Blanchard is re-
aponsible for the downfall Of the latest
one. In an obiter dictum he remarks:
"The time has gone by when an action for
divorce can be predicated on the mere
fact that a woman visits a man at his
apartments. This is an enlightened age
and women are encroaching upon mans
sphere of activities. They may have pro-
fessional business together, and this is
especially the fact when they are mem
bers of the same profession"
All this is true, and is pretty generally
recognized by sensible people. But what
ever will literature and drama do if the
tradition, punctured by common sense,
also becomes untenable in law? The situa-
ton of the innocent wife in the other
mans rooms at night is gray headed and
stoop shouldered from overwork in novel
and play. Almost as common is the Incl
dent of the sweet young thing who is
nveigled into Compromising" situation
by the dastardly villain who hopes to gain
her, her money, sweet r-r-r-evenge, or
something Of the sort. Of course, all
comes out fright" in the end, after three
acts or seventeen chapters, and the dear,
good audience knows alPs going to end
happily.
But some reform must be achieved by
the authors if the absurdity of misunder-
standing which three or four words Of
natural explanation would settle forthwith
is becoming so patent that even the law
and the bench solemnly recognize it. 1t
seems time to expect a refurbishing Of lit
erary and dramatic stock in trade to keep
pace with the advance in feminism.

Excursions to BlackwelI's.

Commissioner Katharine b. Davis is
nothing if not resourcefully original. Hay-
ing come TO the conclusion that old Of
tenders. particularly among women, re-
peat their offences for the sake of the
ferry trip 70 the Island, she has decided
20 offer them, and any who might emulate
them, free rides back and forth over the
fateful strip Of tide. The good ship Cor
rection promises, therefore, TO become
something Of pleasure craft, eastward as
well as westward bound, a transformation
almost equivalent TO making a Sunday
morning fishing smack out of Charon's
wherry on the Styx.
The analogy seems closer still when 1t
is reflected that the women to be benefited
are those who drink not wisely but too
well. Miss Davis thinks the free excur
sions will discourage their lbations, on
the theory that now they drink that they
may be arrested and committed TO the
Island. But when has the prospect Of a
voyage for pleasure on the bosom Of New
York's encircling food discouraged drink
ing? Rather does the joy Of it urge ones

Cost of Roer War.


FROM me DUHdCe AdtrtScTJ
The South African war lasted for two years
and eight months and cost in all $3.50 900 600.
The forces of Great Britain numbered AS
600, and were made up Of $4,000 from these
countries, $4,000 from the colonies, $1,000
raised in South Africa, and 10000 of a gar
rson. This number seems quite small when
compared with the army which Britain has
in the field at the present time. The mum
Der of officers and men reported killed
amounted to 1882, while 23,342 were reported
wounded; while disease and accidents were
responsible for 1878 deaths. These acct
dents were Of almost every conceivable kind,
and included men killed by the bursting Of
guns, derailing Of trains, kicks from horses;
while it was also asserted that several had
been dcvoured by lions. The majority of those
who died from disease were victims Of en-
teric fever and dysentery. In all, the mum
Der of deaths was under $4,000.

Professor Henderson's Arguments

To the Editor of The Tribune.
Sir: have just read Major Putnam's letter
in your issue Of to-day, and am glad to see
Professor Henderson's arguments so ably
refuted by one who is able to speak with
knowledge. During all this war controversy
there is so much written by those who are
entirely ignorant and unqualified to express
an opinion at all that the correspondence col
umns of the papers become very wearisome.
That man of Professor Henderson's stand
ing should draw any comparison between the
devastation caused by the Northern armies in
the Civil War and that wrought by the Ger
mans in Belgium is amazing. Even were his
statements accurate, there would still be no
parallel because North and South were at
war, and Germany was not at war with Bel
GUM, but invading it regardless of treaty OBJ
legations.
The professors attempt to justify Ger
many Is on a par with every other attempt
that have read. The truth of the matter is
that no justification is possible in the minds
of thinking men who are not influenced by
an inherent love of the fatherland. For
forty years Germany prepared for this
war; she started il when she was ready, and
she has since carried it on without any re-
gard for international law or the laws Of
common humanity which have hitherto pre-
vailed She has broken treaties, slaughtered
innocent women and children, and allowed her
armies to rape and riot and devastate. The
day Of reckoning will come, however, and she
will have to pay the price.
The sinking of tie Lusitania has been at
tempted to be justified by the fact that Ger
many is fighting for her life. That is quite
true But would man drowning in the sea,
finding a life raft with women and children
on il and no room for him, throw some off
70 save himself? Not if he was man. And
the German people should gladly submit to
an honorable defeat rather than attempt to
win by such dastardly methods. Contrast the
action of the English A few days ago they
found several Germans floating in the North
Sea on a damaged aeroplane, and, although
these were combatants who would have killed
them if they could, they were rescued and
taken prisoners.
Germany has only succeeded in arousing
the hate and the scorn of the civilized world.
She has gained no material advantage by her
atrocities She seems to forget that after
the war is over she will still have to live. She
is doomed to utter defeat. Russia may be
beaten at present, but Russia will come back
with overwhelming numbers and increased
runs and ammunition, and then let Germany
look out. The Allies are united, and every
dav tells in their favor. Germany must either
wine them out Of existence or be crushed to
the earth. Can any sane man imagine she
can do that?

Good from Street Meetings.

set forth the pleasing thought of the good
the "rif-rafT" might derive from hearing
such able orators as Theodore Nelson and

Christianity Is a Menace to Society" and
now desire through the medium of The Trib-
une to congratulate william J. Ross not alone
for his able and brilliant exposition of the
negative, but for bringing right home to his
hearers that God and Christianity are not
responsible for the present chaotic condi-
tons prevailing throughout the world, but
that the blame lies with man and his com
plete failure to live up to the teachings Of
the Christ.
1t is my sincere hope that every one of the
large audience, who so attentively listened,
and all who may read this will make a new
start. Take up thy cross and follow me-"

To the Editor of The Tribune.
Sir: read with more than ordinary graft
fcation your admirable article on Frank P

Commission, and | think every fairminded
citizen must indorse your views. The state
ment made by Walsh that the commission
"has proved the absolute responsibility OF
John D. Rockefeller, jr., for everything that
happened in Colorado" is untrue. according
to the weight Of evidence elected in the in
vestigaton.
The manly, truthful and conscientious
