For a Congress of Neutrals.

To the Editor Of The Tribune.
Sir: The comments on the German note
contained in your columns of the l1th inst.
are all worthy Of serious consideration and
praise, but the most striking lines in the pub.
..cation are the following, from the pen Of
Professor George v Kirchwey Of Columbia
,givetsIty:
is IL not nbou, time tha. the President let

It's too tea Gus and too dangerous for us 20

ours. and we shall. mover pull Z or alone
This is sound logical advice, and If our
Washington administration will invite neutral
countries 20 a convention 20 discuss the situa-
tion and take whatever action is necessary %
curb the yiolators OF neutral rights we will
have no more sinking of ships Of all nations

On Silver Hairs and Stained Gold.

Sometimes we wonder whether those
ancient men, bent, feeble and more help
less than children, who wear Grand Army
uniforms on gala days, could ever have
been the dashing boys in blue who lived
on gunpowder and stared death out Of
countenance half century ago. But how
much more difficult would it be were we
asked to picture such gentle old souls not
as former soldiers, inspired by the ideals
of the Civil War and its vast collective
effort, but as outlaws and murderers who,
young and vigorous, would shoot an old
man to death for his money and kill his
little son with an axe?
Yet that is the task set for the neigh
bors of Bates Huntsman, Sam Scrivner
and Henry and John Damewood, well-to-do
residents Of Taylor County, Iowa, contem-
poraries Of our aged veterans. Bates
Huntsman and Sam Scrivner are para
lytics and all are white-haired patriarchs
Of the sort who can afford to rest. waiting
for the Reaper, having themselves sown
and reaped to good purpose over a life
time. 1t is these old men whom Mrs
Maria Porter accuses in her amazing tale
of the death Of "Old Than" forty-seven
years ago.
Shade of John Silver, what a crime
Again the old affinity of buried gold for
blood issuing from a cave at
night, a body in a blood soaked quilt, a
trunk full of the shining metal, and the
innocent child spectator threatened with a
horrible death should she tell. And there
is a curse on the treasure; no mere faint
like that to which we are well accustomed
Not only does the deed seem to outrage the
sparse white hairs of all palsied pa
triarchs, but the sedate cornbelt and the
thrice respectable Victorian era as well
Not so long ago the death Of an eccen-
trio druggist led to the discovery in his old
iron safe Of part of the loot, consisting
of Civil War currency and gold and silver
coins long out of date. Could any Of them
have been pieces of eight?

Ought to Convince Pro-Germans,

To the Editor Of The Tribune.
Sir: keep pretty well posted on the
war situation and views as expressed through
the editorials Of the important newspapers
and letters in the Peoples Forum, and must
mention yours in to-day's Tribune as the
most expressive and clearest that have ever
seen. 1t IS so fair and explicit that even
ro-German ought to be convinced OF the
error OF his expressed conviction.
| consider The Tribune as the best expo
nent Of the American people. 1t Is coming
back into its own.

bodied In pamphlet and used to combat

The Navy's Greatest Need.

The acceptance by Thomas A. Edison Of
a place on the advisory board of the new
Navy Department Bureau Of Invention
and Development is a happy augury Of
better things for the navy. Even Secre-
tary Daniels is beginning to grasp the
idea that the navy is not a great univer-
sity-an adjunct to the public school sys-
TEN. It's mission is not to impart a civilian
education TO sailors, but 10 teach them
how TO utilize in defending the United
States the increasingly complex machin-
cry Of naval warfare.
The present war has revolutionized mill
tary methods. On land artillery no longer
supports infantry. Infantry merely sup
plements the work Of artillery. At sea the
great ships Of the line remain almost
wholly inactive, and the submarine has
become the most dreaded engine of offence
and defence. Naval warfare is summon
ing to its aid all the resources Of scientific
knowledge and invention. The conduct of
a modern navy requires vastly more com
prehensive technical knowledge than was
needed in the days Of Nelson or Farragut.
Yet since Mr.. Daniels is beginning to
recognize the need Of the ablest expert
guidance in improving the instrumental
ties of warfare why should he not also
recognize the necessity Of expert control
in the formulation Of the purely military
policy Of the navy, in planning the
strategy which is to be pursued in time of
war? The latter need is as urgent as the
former, for the navy will fail even with
the best material resources if il has no
clear and well-matured plans for their use.
In a recent article in Land and
Water" Mr.. A. II. Pollen, one of the
leading British naval critics. wrote:
The weakest feature of the United States
Navy is the supreme command and the
organization for war" That is a truth
recognized by every intelligent student o.
our navy. We need central authority
TO prepare strategical plars and
to lay down a broad military policy These
should not be intrusted to such ar ad-
yisory council as Mr.. Daniels has just ere
ated. on which he and the Assistant Sec
retary sit, surrounded by the judge ad-
vocate general Of the navy, the COM
mandant Of the Marine Corps and various
bureau chiefs whose duties and training
do not fit them TO act as members of a
General Staff.
The navy should have the advantage of
all the technical skill it can command not
