the East Side show in the things which pertain
TO the family and to the home.
But the family and the home-there's the
rub. For with these boys and girls at the Edu-
catonal Alliance. what becomes of the old
folks? Are not the family ties dissolved? Is
not the home life destroyed? Come to the
next floor and see. Here the fathers OF
those boys and girls. in four fine big rooms OF
their own They are perhaps too old TO learn
the new tricks Of American life which their
youngsters take up so readily, but not, there

They arc reading their Yiddish papers. They
arc playing checkers and chess. They are
drinking tea, Russian style, at a cent glass.
They are-O favored notwithstanding

the building in which smoking is permitted.
They arc finding this sixth floor of the East

home and club in one. Nor are the mothers
neglected, for you shall find them here, too,
listening, perhaps, to a lecture on some prac-
teal domestic topic, or gossiping among them
selves. Thus all members of the families
brought together under the one roof. and the
wants Of all arc rninistered to as they in

OF the whole Here arc the children, hundreds
OF them. done with their evenings work and
pleasures waiting. For whom2 For the par
ents who are little less ready to leave their
tea drinking and their gossip. Or perhaps you
find the parents, waiting for the children to
finish their games and their debates, and their
sewing and cooking. Presently the tardy ones
come and the families are reunited, and par
ents and children go home together, Just as
they came from home to the Alliance together
at the beginning Of the evening.
BRIDGING THE CHASM BETWEEN
PARENT AND CHILD.
Thus the Alliance bridges the chasm be-
tween parents and children. Thus, 10 change
the simile, by catering to the needs o. all mem
bers of the family, it becomes the cement OF
the social structure of the East Side. Extend
its capacities so as to embrace all the families
of that region, and the most important social
problem there will be solved. At present its
capacities are limited. Only about four thou
sand persons a day visit its main building
good many, from one point of view; pitt
fully few. compared with the total population
of the East Side. Yet what was that remark
about little leaven leavening the whole lump?
This work is not, however, all that the AL
lance does, either at the Seward Park build
ing or elsewhere. There are branches in this
city. at 624 East sth ST. and at 307 Henry St;
a summer camp at Storm King for boys and
a summer home at Oceanic, N j., for girls.

from il, that the park was created. and what
had been physical and moral plague spot was
transformed into place for the sanitation OF
bodies and the redemption of minds and souls
So we enter the building to see what the
Educational Alliance is actually doing. Here
is a floor occupied by the boys. There are
game rooms-not gambling, but legitimate
sports which at once amuse. refresh and train
the eye the hand and the nimble wit. There
are clubs in which for organization is
fostered and in which intellectual acumen and
dexterity in debate are developed And hun
dreds Of boys throng these rooms nightly with
zest and sincerity of purpose that are
revelation to those accustomed to the blase
indifference OF Tangotown.
SEWING AND COOKING SCHOOLS FOR
THE GIRLS.
Good for the boys, but what Of the girls?
The next floor gives the answer. Here are
the sisters and the future wives Of those boys,
in the rooms set apart for their special use.
They, too, have their games and clubs. Also,
and most pertinently, they have their schools
of sewing and of cooking, and of all the bet
ter than Eleusinian mysteries of household art
Maybe they work as typewriters or salesgirls
during the day, occupations not conducive to
nor preparatory for wifehood and motherhood
But here their evenings spent in the pur-
suit of pure and practical domestlcity. And
there isn't a gum chewing Tangerine IN the
white light realm who shows half the interest

To the Editor of The Tribune.
Sir: Permit an old sailor to compliment and
also thank you for your able American cdi-
torial in to-days Tribune. 1t is in line with
very many leaders of your valuable paper in
this European war and is true from start tc
finish. Give Germany a Chance" is the cor
rect heading, too
With all due respect to Mr.. W. Wilson, ne
has certainly shown his lack Of sincerity and
good faith not only with Germany but with
our next door neighbor, poor Mexico, as well
as exposing his eagerness for a second term
as President.
To allow W. ]. Bryan to assert that our
circumstances to Germany were meaningless
was criminal, TO put it mildly, and |, for one
a veteran of the Civil War and also the
Spanish American War, do not hesitate TO
say so most emphatically. You may rest as
sured that your paper is heartily Endorsed
by all right-minded Americans.

The Presidents Leadership.
To the Editor Of The Tribune.

To the Editor OF Inc tribune.
Sir: Your editorial "Give Germany a
Chance" in to-day's issue. will help estsb-
lish Woodrow Wilson'S prestige as a great
statesman and truly great President in the
minds of all peoples when we see the dawn
of better day. In dealing with nations who
are apparently bereft of reason we are fortu-
nate indeed in having a President of the
type Of Woodrow Wilson. A safe and sane
mind, waiting for the moment TO arrive to
help bind up the wounds Of the stricken
countries when they recover their senses. No
government in its true senses will sanction
the destruction Of innocent lives The Lust
tania incident will be kncwn and its every
phase discussed at the proper time. That is
impossible now. War could not alter the cir
cumstances connected with that awful occur
renee.
Calm yourself, Mr.. Editor. We will not 90

Gated with mad war intent. Rest your tired
mind or go into the country and try to for

upon the great silent American public. The

ministration solidly Do not make the burden

Such words show your mentality is inca

Keen Regret.

To the Editor OF The Tribune.
Sir: As one who has been for the past
year an increasingly regular reader OF The
Tribune. and who has especially appreciated
the fine self-restraint. loyalty and non parti.
sanship shown by it in discussing the foreign
policy Of the present administration, permit
me to express my keen regret at your absurd
and extravagant editorial of yesterday en-
titled Give Germany Chance"
To be asked TO believe that Mr.. Wilson is
seeking TO drag US into war ito save the
shattered prestige Of he administration" is
nothing short OF comic while to be assured
that there IS no reason TO doubt the good
faith Of the ambassador or to fear that the
result will be unfortunate" while reassur,ng.
is, to say the least, surprising. How then can
we be in danger Of being dragged into con
Aict simply because there has been
no chance TO run away?
Surely these incoherelt paragraphs brist-
ling with dark insinuations are not the work
of The Tribune's usual editorial leaders.

tails into such theory with perfect smooth
ness.
As for the main issue-why she should
wish to see us numbered among her world OF
enemies the explanation may or may not be
satisfying withouS in the slightest degree dis
credting the theory which explains the acts
themselves One sufficient reason, however
would be that, knowing herself defeated at
the Marine she knows herself TO be racing
elimination through the painful process Oh
attrition in men and money. To her the war
of conquest is over and failure, and she Is
locking to the future. And it is future
which carries far different problems from
those she expected to have to face or would
have had 10 face had the result at the Marine
been other than it was. Germany, uneXpand-
ed, TO live must be an industrial nation.
Over the heads of her fighting armies she
sees all around her destruction greater than
her own. and she feels herself equal TO the
task Of successful competition with her ex-
hausted enemies when at last the war is done.
But beyond the zone of war she sees the
giant democracy feeding her enemies and
quietly taking over the world markets for
which she went to war and without which she
cannot live
The longer the war the greater her loss in
the markets of the world and in industrial
welfare at home and abroad Our freedom
from the burden makes us daily stronger and
daily greater menace to her eventual recla-
nation of lost markets. Neutral to the end,
we would dominate the world financially and
industrially for at least a generation. In
volved in the war, we would by just so much
cripple our commercial resources and become
subject to the same disease that is weakening
her and her present foes. Also, it may be
reasoned, if ranged against her row we would
materially shorten the war and hasten that
inevitable day when she must yield the strus-
gle with arms and resume the struggle Of
commerce.
If such is her purpose we are indeed prov
ing hard nut 70 crack. From any other ma
lion she would have secured the desired ulti-
matum or declaration Of war months ago.
With us she sees she must go further still,
And she will do it, Another murder. An
other explanation. Another insult. Another
apology. II is not pleasant prospect.
