premacy would mean, what German sue
cess would mean. to the generations that
are TO come and to the civilization that
those who have gone before have labored
for, fought for. died for. Only dimly still
do the mass Of Americans perceive the
central unity that binds the Turk to the
Teuton and makes Armenia but another
playground of slaughter.
Fortunately for US, for the world, what
is not perceived yet in America is fully
grasped in France and Britain. 1t is be-
cause of this that the futile whining OF
small number Of Americans for peace,
the whimpering Of the weak and the hys-
terical protests Of the timid will have no
response in the countries whose men and
women and children are all the targets for
German Zeppelins or the rightful victims
of German military law. 1t is not war
merely or chiefly that France and Britain
are fighting 1t is not simply or mainly
ono more struggle for power. Civilization
as we know it ends at the Allied battle
front. and the Allied armies are the ram
part that protects not alone their own ma
lions but the whole world from more Ar
menias and other Belgiums.
There can be neither peace, nor safety,
nor civilization, as our ancestors under
stood these things; there can be no liberty,
no freedom. as the Americans of all gen
erations have understood liberty and free
dom. until the German purpose is thwarted
end the German idea once and for all
crushed. Armenia, Belgium-these are
out landmarks, details in German progress
toward her own end What Germany did
Yesterday in Flanders she would do to-
morrow in Massachusetts if the descend
ants of those who fought at Concord
Bridge dared TO follow the example of
their ancestors and leave the plough for
the firing line.
There is nothing more humiliating,
nothing that breeds bitterness more swiftly,
than to be condemned to sit helpless and
powerless while such crimes as those that
Germany has perpetrated in Belgium and
encouraged and condoned in Armenia go
forward. All that some of us love, hold
worth living for and worth dying for is
ut stake, and our country, which has pro-
claimed its championship of these things
most loudly, suffers their injury least re-
sentfully. Is it too much to hope that
awakening will come in time to save us
from the consequences of our blindness?

The Burden" of the Ballot.

To the Editor OF The Tribune.
Sir: Reading the letter By Mrs. Dodge IN
this mornings Tribune, am amazed to learn
that voting is burden" | wonder Il our
President regards it burden when he comes
all the way from Washington to vote In 'h'
primary.
If voting Is burden" IL should be taken
off the men and placed upon the women, s'ne'
their duty of bearing and rearing children
affords them an opportunity to read and Keep
informed while mems work prevents 'nen'
from having such opportunity.
Women who have an interest in their cry
and state sufficient 70 vote have the ih'''
licencc TO do SO even II they are not per.
mitted to use it,, so that the only burden
which will hinder them in the bearing An'
rearing of children" Is the depositng OF 'ne
ballot. i,
Employers have to lose whole DAY ..
every employe, and men working oy tne cog
lose whole day every year to vote. "onsa
would have to abandon the home oh'
few minutes TO vote.
Since many women have no CHILDREN '"s
those who have have an average OF t"V "
three in fifty years of their mature hfe''n's'
il does not seem that they are more o'.
burdened than men who have to earn li''ns

An Admirable Public Service.

Mr.. Jacob t. schf's gift Of 100000
10 Barnard is no. merely generous act
in itself. it is precisely the sort Of dona-
ton which must win local approval not
so quickly won for equally splendid gifts
to institutions beyond the city limits.
That Barnard deserved the gift IS well
known 70 all who are in The least familiar
with the work that this college has been
doing in recent years. How great was
the need for the gift is perhaps too little
known save TO the few. Mr.. Schiff's gift
in fact. will relieve condit.onlittle short
Of desperate and give new impetus to de-
sirabe work hitherto conducted under the
most discouracing circumstances.
A city whose rich are known the world
over for their generosity. a city which
sends its millions 70 foreign missions and
10 colleges beyond its own limits, New
York is at times a little careless Of the
need for murihcence at home. The fort
unes Of Barnard in recent years are, I'M
happily. convincing illustration Of this
fact
In remembering Barnard, Mr.. Schiff has
rendered a distinct service TO his fellow
citizens and contributed to the future pros
perity Of an institution of which New
Workers may well be proud and to which
they have shown themselves a trifie too
careless In recent years.

Vote Pledging.
To the Editor of The Tribune.

To the Editor Of The Tribune.
SIR Since when is it precedent in Ameri-
can politics to besiege and importune the
officials of our Federal government for a
promise of their support in state issues? Is
not a mans vote his own personal business
Is not the request for a pledge near the
forbidden ground of purchased votes and in
timidation of voters? The suffragist policy
of working for votes and exacting pledges
from men is like the contest at q church fair
in voting for prize to be won by the most
popular lady. Nothing could be more remote
from the ideals of American government.
How often must the President, when ap-
preached for "the Federal amendment" as
foreigners petition king, tell the sufFragists
that suffrage is not Federal but a state
issue? He can go TO his own state and cast
one vote, which is his own personal business.
Who can believe that "no harm" will result
from body of voters so ignorant or regard
less of the fundamental principles Of repre-
sentative, not socialstic, American govern
ment? Senator Root truly said, Woman
suffrage would be disaster to women and TO
the state"
Women are citizens row The suffragists
could advance interests vital to the nation If
they would take up the question of national
defence with their Representatives in Con-
gress, and give to their country half the de-
votion given to their personal vote.

Don't Shop on Holidays.

To the Editor of The Tribune.
Sir: Columbus Day commentaries one OF
the greatest events in history It comes at a
delightful time of year. and should be uni
yersally observed and enjoyed by all.
The employees Of many retail establishments
are deprived of this and other holidays on &C
count of the selfish practice of deferring our
shopping until those occasions.
Remember, every purchase made on a holt
day has very strong tendency to prevent the
stores from closing on future ones, and is an
injustice to the hard working employees.
If you are off on Tuesday, October ~,

stores open, but in the name of justice and
humanity DON'T SHOPl

Sir 1t is a mistake to take for granted,
as many people do, that the woman suffrage
amendment will be rejected by the voters
next month Aside from the dyed-in -the-wool
suffragists and feminists who seek the vote
for the additional power which they hope it
will secure for them, there are several or
eanzed elements favorable to the amendment
whose active support must be taken into ac-
count They may be classified as follows:
The peace at-any price party. who are con-
fdent that woman's political influence will be
exerted in the interest of disarmament.
The school teachers organizations, whose
leaders believe that the votes of 10000 women
teachers will be Of material assistance in
their never ending campaign for salary in
creases.
The Prohibitionists, who regard woman's
attitude toward personal liberty as sufli-
cicntly tyrannical to meet their requirements.
The Socialists, who see in woman suffrage
an opportunity TO further their cause by sub
stituting the individual for the family as the
unit Of our political and social life.
Others nigh. be added to the foregoing list,
but even as it stands it is not without signif-
cance. r. B..N.

The Sailors Spare Time.

To the Editor Of The Tribune.
Sir: While the L. s. A. is considering the
large problem Of naval preparedness" and
while arguments in favor of adding few
more thousands of the country's boys to the
navys enlisted personnel are before 1t, might
the country not find it timely to give 4
thought or two TO another problem, small IN
the comparison, yet not less the country :
problem-that Of the welfare OF enlisted men
in American ports?
These youth, being American boys, are
very capable Of expressing themselves
and would do so far oftener II
more confident Of an open-minded hearing.
The following paragraphs are taken from a
letter written by bluejacket and received

That Question of Numbers.

To the Editor OF The Tribune.
Sir: Large banners are being erected and
letters are being circulated alleging that
$50 per cent of the women do not want to
vote"
Now if this were the truth and women
have more power by indirect influence" than
they would have by indirect influence and the
vote combined, they would not allow even
10 per cent of the men to vote for full suf-
frage, and there wou be no occasion for
them to spend good money and energy to
prevent that which they believe cannot take
place.
While the right of every citizen 10 voice
in his or her government is not affected By
the number who want it, the very fact that
the ants are working so hard to keep others
from getting the vote is the positive evidence
that they fear majority do want it.

How to Stop Dumping Goods.

Secretary Redhed falls into a curious
inversion Of reasoning when he argues in
favor Of stopping dumping practices by
passing a law Furnishing anybody in this
country attempting TO handle dumped
goods The government has complete
power to regulate the importation Of mer-
chandise, and it is its business to do what
il can to prevent dumped goods from get
ting through the custom houses, instead
Of waiting till they get through and then
prosecuting people here for selling or
using them.
If dumped goods come in through the
custom houses their status is just IS
lawful as that Of other imports. Secre-
tary Redfc!d wants TO create a purely ar
tfcial domestic crime in order to stop a
traffic which should be dealt with by Gus
toms and revenue laws. And the only ex-
cuse which he can offer for his roundabout
method is that II will help Congress to
dodge at the next session the necessity of
reopenng the tariff question.
That is the poorest kind Of an excuse.
Congress cannot wei! avoid amending the
Underwood law. since the government
needs more revenue and two glaring mis-
takes made by Mr.. Underwood must be
quickly remedied. IL will be necessary Ia
continue the sugar duties, which were "a
expire by limitation next May, and also tc
repeal the discriminating duty section
which. as construed by the Court Of Gus
toms Appeals. will compel a refund Of
per cent on the duties collected on good
brought here by ships Of all nations will
which we have equal treatment treatie
Of commerce.
II Congress goes into the tariff question
again il ought 20 guard against the posi-
blity Of dumping on a large scale afte
the war ends by nations whose scale o
swing will have fallen and which will b.
in sore need Of foreign markets. The hes
way to meet dumping is to create a per
manent tariff commission, which can reg
ulate tariff rates so as 10 head off an,
abnormal low-priced import movement.
The Department Of Commerce has Jus,
published a statement showing how Can
ada, Australia and the South African
Union deal with the dumping nuisance

Against All Atrocities.

To the Editor Of The Tribune
Sir: You have cartoon this morning en-
titled Comrades" showing Turkey throttling
the Armenians and Germany throttling the
Belgians. I am much impressed with the
cartoon 1t breathes fine humanitarian
ism. As an American and as a lover Of
humanity, feel my whole soul and body re
volt at atrocities by nations against weaker
nations
However, the cartoon is incomplete. | sug
gest that the artist add picture OF Great
Britain throttling the Beers, Egypt and the
Hindus; a picture of Belgium treating the
natives OF the Congo to some of the medicine
that Turkey is now giving Armenia; picture
of Russia massacring Jews, robbing Poles of
their liberties, lynching the Finnish govern
ment, and In general, giving their vast and
wonderful people a government that Is a
stencil and a crime.
And, dare | add, picture OF American
soldiers administering the water cure to
Filipinos? And Southerners lynching negroes
and white men who offend them?
| am not an anti-patrot. | am intensely
patriotic. But my love for my country means
my country, not the crimes that are com
mtted in her name. And my humanitarian
ism revolts at crimes against humanity,
whether committed by Germans, or Russians,
or Belgians. or my own people.
Are you against all atrocities against peo-
pie? Then you must denounce the official
government mot the people, Of all the coun-
tries now at war whose records reek with
blood and inhumanity. II you confine your
wrath 10 but two of the criminals, then you
