Fiction and the Shining Mark.

Now that Golfers" has recalled its IA
nous Washington correspondent and di-
rected its efforts to the publication of a
different form of fiction, there is nothing
surprising in reading in its columns the
following misstatement of fact:
According to The Tribune the people are
more anxious for wsrlike action against Ger
many than the President and the President
has been holding back against the best advice
and wishes Of his impatient people.
The Tribune never said such a foolish
thing. II never imagined any such ridicu-
lous state Of affairs. 1t criticised the
President for taking high tone with Ger
many at the outset without perceiving that
such tone would lead to a grave situa-
tion if Germany disregarded his admoni-
tion. 1t criticised the President further
because, when Germany did disregard the
American warning, he would neither act
to clothe his words with force nor with
draw the words, and thus avert the dan
ger of drifting into war.
The Tribune never imagined that the
country was more eager than the Presl-
dent for war. 1t did not even belieye-and
this should particularly interest the editor
of Collier" shat it was patriotic duty
to force a war with Germany merely to
obtain preparedness for this country. 1t
knew that at all times at least 90 per cent
Of the people of the United States desired
peace, and it recognized that unless the
German situation were cleared up the
peril of drifting into war was certain to
remain and grow.
What The Tribune did believe and still
believes is that if the President had acted
in the spirit Of his "strict accountability"
note on the morrow of the Lusitania the
German American difficulty would have
been settled promptly and without war.
1t also believed that if he had not intended
to do this he should not have said "strict
accountability" to Germany at all.

A University Without Free Speech

Both from the defence of the University
Of Pennsylvania issued by DR.. White, a
trustee, and the petitions circulated re-
Gently among graduate students it is
plain that there is no longer any attempt
to place the dismissal of Scott Nearing on
other ground than that of objection to his
public utterances on economic subjects.
His radical speeches and writings were
deemed to be hurting the university. That
is, they we're deemed to be hurting it in a
material way for no allegation has been
made that they hurt its academic stand
ing or that they caused falling off in
numbers or enthusiasm Of students. Quite
the contrary seems apparent from the
protests of students and graduates follow
ing the decision to drop DR.. Nearing from
the corps Of instructors.
It is a grave indictment of any institu-
ton of higher education TO declare it to
be opposed to free discussion of public
questions, and thus to make it the agent
of one class in the community. That, in
pretty specific terms, is what many gradu-
ate students, including DR.. Nearing's sue
cessor and several other instructors now
taking post st-graduate courses, have for
mally charged against the University OF
PENNSYLVANIA. The dismissal of DR.. Near
ing carries with it its penalty-not for
him. but for the institution which refused
to permit him to express his opinions and
retain his position as instructor there
The public can have little confidence
thereafter in the disinterestednes anc
sincerity Of the teachings of that institu-
ton.

THE Hyphenated Peril. "

To the Editor of The Tribune
Sir; Relative to the letter in The Tribune
of to-day headed "The Hyphenated Peril"
and the dire disaster which Ivan Naroday
states is hanging over our fair city. many
such statements have appeared in the public
press; consequently, is it not strange that
these Teutonic societies do not rise in a body
and proclaim their allegiance and firmly and
most emphatically state where they would
stand in case of trouble, | want TO be per
fectly fair TO this class of citizens, many Of
whom are among my personal friends and
for whom ! have a deep and lasting afec-
tion. II they think incorrectly, surely we
can he charitable, as twisted thought is moth

Isolating Serbia. then destroy the Serb

garia the task Of holding Macedonia and
thus keeping the Allies far away from the
Belgrade -Nish- h-Constantinople railway.
The key TO the whole Balkan conflict
will be found in the railroad map. The
line from Belgrade to Constantinople
through Nish is the pathway Of German
advance to Constantnople. as it was that
of the Crusaders in another century. The
railway from Nlsh to Salonica is the life
line Of Serbia and the only route by which
she can be reinforced and munitioned.

An Economic Genius.

To the Editor Of The Tribune.
Sir: The papers quote the Honorable Sec
retary of Commerce as announcing that no
food Of foreign merchandise is TO be allowed
TO reach this country after the war is over,
and as suggesting that Congress could pass
law making It illegal for any one in the
United States to buy or sell goods shipped
into this country in an effort to undersell
American manufacturers" How delightfully."-
simple
The mans genius; perhaps that fact has
been somewhat obscured hitherto and known
only 10 very select few, but it's fact, all
the same: It's unmistskable.
Assuming such a "aw" could be enacted
and enforced. what a golden prospect is pre-
sertcd for the domestic manufacturer. Be
hold the millennium for him. No need Of
protective tariff with the Redfeldian policy
in operation But how about the government
revenues from imports? Perhaps, though,
only the good" manufacturers are to be thus
protected ! wonder.

Nature Fulfils Divine Plans.

To the Editor OF The Tribune
Sir: The question in Sundays editorial. rs
Nature Perfect" has deeply interested me.
Nothing is perfect as man thinks, ye,
nature and life's very imperfections are a
part of natures plan to perfect whole, or
to further progress. AS soon as perfection
exists progress will cease. Man will rest
content
Nature is Gods holy book OF law, teaching
unto man all the laws and rules whereby his
own life is governed and controlled. But Tor
many of US it is difficult to understand
natures teachings. Each leaf. each sunset
each cloud-yea, each little insect-has a les
son of its own to teach which harmonic.
with experiences in the life Of man.
Nature is forceful. SO is the Spirit Of God
in man. Nature is not perfect according %
mans judgment, but according to Gods holy
law it is fulfilling His plans.

Assumptions.

To the Editor of The Tribune.
Sir: II is interesting to note the assump-
tions "An Idotic Yankee" makes in let
ter 10 you, which appears in to-day's Trib-
une. Personally. | have never noticed any
"ngrained nferiority" or dirty vanity
about Germans whom I have met. No Ger
man Of my acquaintance ever spoke OF
'writhing" in the presence OF an English
gentleman" He seems to think that the
English are the only people that are now
enduring all things in silent, magnificent
patience due probably TO their "ingrained
superiority." l do not think "an idotic
Yankee" needs the quotation marks which
he places about his signature, because he
has yet to prove most of the derogatory re-
marks he has made about the dirty Ger
mans" +. ARNOLD.

"Unsatisfa actory."

Unmstakably The Associated Press dis
patches from Washington describing the
new German communication as "unsatis-
factory" were official and inspired. Since
the State Department. with a propriety
which no one will question. has declined to
make further disclosures about the COM
munication, public opinion. must rest con-
tent.
But there is just one thing that the pub
lie has a right to demand Of Mr.. Wilson
and his advisers. The people of this
country are perfectly prepared to support
the President Of the United States in de-
Tending or maintaining national honor and
national rights. They are prepared to
hold up his hands if he chooses TO reject
German proposals, but they are entitled
10 know that in doing this he is acting
with a complete recognition of the possible
consequences.
If German proposals are "unsatisfac-
tory" Mr. Wilson is entitled TO reject them
and insist upon satisfactory guarantees.
But if Germany declines to give these,
then we are back at the old situation, and
all the old perils will be in sight again. If
Mr.. Wilson is ready at last to face these
perils. well and good; but if he is not, then
the situation will be presently graver than
ever before.
Rejecting German proposals does not
mean a break in relations with Germany,
but it offers Germany an opportunity TO
decline to amend her proposals, and such
a refusal will necessitate a break or
humiliating retreat on the part of the
American government
In sum, if you are prepared to fight,
you can afford to reject any explanation
which is unsatisfactory. But if you are
"too proud to fight" then, of a necessity,
you must not be too meticulous about the
other fellows explanations. If Mr.. Wilson
is now resolved to insist upon American
rights, cost what it may-then the present
course is altogether admirable. But if he
is still unwilling to face break with Ger
many, his only safe course is to accept
what is now offered and make the best
of it,
Above all. there should be no repetition
Of the strict accountability" blunder.
Whatever is now said to Germany should
be meant, and nothing should be said that
has not been carefully considered and its
consequences exactly measured.

Women S Duty.

To the Editor of The Tribune
Sir: One who signs herself "An American
Woman" says: "The large body Of anti-suffra-
gists. enrolled and unenrolled, ask freedom
from mems political duties"
Nobody wants them to assume mems du-
ties. But they enjoy the blessings of good
government or suffer the effects Of bad gov
ernment exactly the same as men do. 1t is
as much their duty TO get the vote as it was
mans duty to get il. II will be as much
their duty to vote when they do get it as
it is mans duty now.
Women, as a division OF the people, have
much more time to devote to such matters
than men have, and if not indolent and self
ish would be willing to share the terrible
burden" which men have "broken down un-
der" for century and a third.

MORE COMMENT BY SUPER-EDITORS
Readers
eoogcaS nan tn Quest o

To the Editor Of The Tribune.
Sir: At the Constitutional Convention of
1894, when the ant-suffragists objected TO a
suffrage amendment, one of their friends who
spoke for them said the anti-sufragists were
modest women, who believed that woman's
place was in the home and not on a suffrage
platform.
While the sntis have consistently opposed
any reform that would benefit the people as a
whole, they have, as individuals, avalied
themselves Of all the advantages which ac'
crued from the agitation for women's rights
They have paid the suffragists the sincere
compliment of initiating them, even to speak
ing in public. Ant-sufragists now speak on
the public platform, and speak admirably. |,
is also we'll known fact that professional
anti-suffrage speakers are among the oes'
paid woman workers in the United States.
Fifty years ago the stock arguments OF the
antis were that suffrage would destroy the
home and ruin the country Startling as that
announcement was, few persons were willing
to pay speakers to oppose the suffrage propa'
ganda In the face of conditions in the pros
porous. progressive West those arguments are
ridiculous to-day. SO Miss Price, Miss Dor
men, Miss Chittenden and Miss Rowe are re-
dhced to the rather uninteresting assertions
that woman suffrage would double the eN'
pense of elections without changing results.
Intelligent persons have long known that
opposition to woman suffrage was not caused
by fear that the home would be destroyed OF
woman unsexed. II was caused by the fear
which former President Taft naiyely de-
scribes-that it would increase millennium
legislation" the shorter working day, the liv-
ing wage, etc; hence the call for plausible
speakers to befog the issue of the people OF
behalf OF privilege. SARA MPlkE.
