Austin Flint.

The name of Austin Flint was popu-
larized chiefly by the notorious Thaw
trials and associated in the minds Of the
average reader with a rabble of expert
witnesses whose testimony had been a
cause of some censure and much derision.
But, useful as his services undoubtedly
wore on those occasions, it was not manly
as a psychiatrist, and still less as pro-
fessional witness. that he won eminence
among the medical worthless Of his time.
Flint was first and foremost a Psychologist,
and though his original research work was
somewhat too technical to be followed with
much understanding by the multitude, yet
his name was made familiar by the violent
attacks of the NEUTRALITY-SUSPICIOUS., who
could not miss the opportunity TO abuse
disciple and follower Of Claude Bernard.
But it was not only in the field Of eX-
detrimental physiology that Flint was dis
tinguished among his fellows His work as
an original investigator was perhaps what
he valued most, and he had his reward IN
the esteem of his colleagues, but he did
much other work that was more readily
appreciated by the public. He was pro
lessor of physiology successfully at the
Buffalo Medical School, the New York
Medical College, the New Orleans School
Of Medicine the Long Island College Hos
pital and at Cornell University. Forty
years ago he was appointed surgeon-gen-
eral of this state, and many important
offices were held by him in the years that
followed. He was one Of the founders
of the Bellevue Hospital Medical College,
and the first professor there Of physiology
and histology.
Dr. Flint was a voluminous author, and
though the vast progress made in physiol-
ogy since he was engaged in research has
put many of his earlier writings out of
date. his textbook is still famous. 1t is
unfortunate that he should be thought of
by the populace merely as one who by the
Aippancy of a smart lawyer was made to
appear a pedant in the eyes of an ignorant
audience.

For the French Wounded.
Editor of The Tribune.

To the Editor of The Tribune.
Sir: | crave the publicity of your valuable
paper to make an appeal to British women
and our sisters overseas.
Though many British women are giving all
their time and money to running either their
own private hospitals or public ones, we feel
that there are still n great many women of
means who, in spite Of the many calls, wish
TO cooperate with their less wealthy sisters
in supporting a hospital specially known as
the British Women's Hospital. the first unit
Of which is for our French ally.
With the knowledge of another winter cam
paign and some of the severest fighting OF the
war still in front of the troops, we feel that
this is a particularly favorable moment for
British women TO show their sympathy for
their sisters Of France and, as token OF
gratitude at being spared the horrors of in
vasion. offer d worthy tribute to the French
government for its sick and wounded SOL
diers. We are appealing for $4,000, of which
s25 900 is TO be set aside for one years ex-
penses for the complete unit of $50 beds for
France, the other f25,O00 toward our second
unit for one of our other great Allies and a
convalescent hospital for our own soldiers.
We feel that the spirit of the gift is of as
much value as the gift itself and all con-
tributions will be most gratefully acknowl-
edged; but we know that our sisters overseas,
for a great object, will give gladly and freely.

Sabotage"
tor of The Tribune.

To the Editor of The Tribune.
Sir: One OF your friends asks what is
sabotage"
Well, Sabotage" is a French word which
rot only designates the manufacture OF
"sabots,' wooden shoes, but is also used for
an operation consisting in gashng obliquely
the wooden ties OF the railroads to FIX in
them the chairs for the rails
This settled, let me add that, some years
ego, not far from Paris and in the time of
those strikes fomented by German agitators,
few men had worked to repair a railroad
when an inspector discovered that most OF
the chairs were fixed in such way that
inevitably any train coming along would be
overturned in the trenches.
"Quel SABOTAGE" What sabotageD
was the exclamation of the inspector, who,
running ahead of the first train, flag in
hand. managed to stop it just in the nick
of time.
To the Justice, the gendarmes, reporters,
in fact. every one who afterward questioned
hin, the inspector, throwing his arms above
bis head would first exclaim, "Quel sabot-
age, Duel sabotage" And the next day
the French press adopted the word "sabot-
age" as meaning a mischcvous and criminal
act.
Before that. the word "sabot,' taken Eau
figure" got in French bad repute. 1t sig

The British Budget.

1t was TO be expected that the British
public would take the new war taxes with
what "The Manchester Guardian" calls
resigned cheerfulness." The burdens OF
the war are colossal To defeat Germany,
or even to force draw with Germany, will
cost Great Britain an outlay at which the
imagination even of a trained economist
shudders. But it will cost far more to be
defeated by Germany. Every fortune,
every industry, every income IN the British
Isles would be impaired by German sue
cess. for German success would threaten
huge indemnities, the lowering Of British
credit and a disastrous overshadowing OF
Great Britain as factor in international
politics. commerce and finance.
The British taxpayer will pay cheerfully
because In paying he satisfies both patriot
ism and self-interest. 1t is cheaper for him
to give than to withhold. Moreover, he has
the assurance that, great as the new tax
burdens are, they are clearly within the
national resources. They are relatively less
than the burdens assumed during the Ma
poleonic wars. The Chancellor Of the EX-
chequer has had the courage TO impose
new taxes amounting to S575,O0O, 0OO-a
20 per cent increase on existing taxation.
lie has also wisely provided for interest
payments on the enlarged debt and has
set aside a sinking fund for its redemp-
ton.
These facts in themselves testify elo-
quently 70 the strength Of Great Britain
financial position. She alone of the great
powers involved in the war is doing some
thing 70 meet its demands on a pay-as-
you-go basis. The other powers are piling
up debt. The German Imperial Minister
Of Finance, DR.. Helfferich, admitted last
August that his new budget would not add
TO the burdens of the German taxpayer
That meant obviously that Germany wa:
gambling on the chance of securing war
indemnities and was putting off all thought
Of a reckoning with the debt situation
until after the war-when the nation will
be practically bankrupt. The British tax
payer is going deeper into his pocket thar
the German taxpayer is. But the former
sees light ahead, and knows that even il
the war lasts two years longer his gov
eminent will never be forced as GeTmany's
will, 70 do business on a mere fat basis.
Great Britain's revenue is now $780,
OOO, 900 a year. With the new taxes it will
be 81 900 year. But the ex-
penditure for this year will be $780,
100000, and when the new fiscal year be-
gins on April ! next the British debt will
have risen to $1,000 100000, not taking
into account loans which may be issued

II is hardly too much to read into the

States. If she does not desire break
there will be no more difficulty in reaching
a settlement over the other questions that
remain to be settled. If she does not de-

CITY Dollars for Noodle Shops.

Why New York City should constantly
be assailed by its property owners as a
miserable, grasping tyrant, levying huge
taxes and doing little for the payers of
them, is bound to remain a deep, dark
mystery. There never was a bigger piece
of open-handed, drunken-salor brand of
generosity than the selection of the pri-
mary polling places-and the payment
therefor. Mr.. Ziegler, the new president
of the Honest Ballot Association, points
out that despite the law permitting the
use of schoolhouses only twelve Of the
1000 places designated are schools. The
rest include barber shops, pool parlors,
boot-blacking establishments, bird store,
couple of churches, tailor shops, laun-
dries, butcher shops, even a noodle shop.
The cost of all this to the city will be
about S125,000, Mr.. Ziegler figures. How
little it could be made to cost could only
be told by careful canvass of the city
property which might have been used,
rent free, for the polling places. At any
rate. New York, at time when every dol
lar in the treasury counts, is spending
thousands on thousands of dollars need
lessly. Could anything be more generous
or more wasteful-than this brand of
politics which extracts patronage from
every public function whence a dollar can
be squeezed?
