Cotton Kits for Wounded.

To the Editor OF The Tribune
Sir: Late last summer l submitted to your
good rcaders-in letter which you were kind
enough to publish the suggestion that kits
of cottonmade articles sent to wounded Eu-
ropean soldiers would be a godsend to the
suffering men, a help to the distressed cot
ton growers and others affected a decided
aid to relief workers in Europe, such as the
Red Cross, and also boost for the made
in L. s. A." movement.
The suggestion bore good fruit. Several
specially shops and department stores in
New York City and elsewhere adopted the
suggestion and placed the kits on sale, some
of them at actual cost to themselves.
With the advent of winter interest in the
cotton kit movement naturally died, but sum-
mer is approaching now and the need for
cotton comforts promises to be more press
ing than ever because of the renewed actiyi-
ties of the various beligerents. earnestly

stroyed, together with all the machinery
it contained, while the damage done to
the concrete buildings amounted TO about
1919 per cent, and of the machinery con
tanned in the concrete buildings 90 per cent
was saved and is now in operation. Manu-
featuring vas resumed in some of the old
concrete buildings within a few weeks after
the date of the fire.

AN EXPLANATION
A Voter for Whitman Seeks to Define
Himself Now.

To the Editor OF The Tribune.
Sill: Although nobody asked me to, | wish
10 set myself right before the anxious world
for having voted for Judge Whitman last
fall.
I have no defence to offer except that !
voted for Whitman with my eyes open, not
because | loved Whitman more but that J
loved Glynn and what he stood for and with
less. / knew the weaknesses of the pam
percd idol OF the District Attorneys office
and knew that, man for man, Glynn was far
better fitted for the post than Whitman. If
the Democrats had named man half way
satisfactory to US lot more Republicans
in my circle of acquaintance would cheerful
ly have expressed our opinion of Mr.. Whit
man at the polls.
But why lay it all to Whitman? He hasn't
the dominating personality of a leader;
therefore, let us give all due credit for their
evil deeds to tho members of the Legislature.
Let us. one and all, make check mark OPP
poste their names, and as they pass by on
future Election Days let US take good, swift
soak at them. If this be the result of the
direct primary system, out with it root and
branch.
As for the Governor and his Presidential
aspirations let all Republicans take warn
ing. We need a man of different type to
lead a winning campaign some fifteen months
hence. A. NJ ADAMS.

Vaccination S Use.
Or Of The Tribune.

To the Editor Of The Tribune.
Sir: In September, 1907, | went TO Rio
Blanco, Peru, TO operate a copper smelling
plant The plant was not completed when
/ got there, and working on the construction
were about four hundred Indians and their
families, making an Indian village of about
fifteen hundred people. Smallpox is ep-
iGemic among the Indians Of the higher
Andes, and when | arrived there were two
carpenters at work doing nothing but max
ing collins, as these people were dying from
smallpox At the rate OF four day.
| Immediately got physician and started
wholesale vaccination. The Indians objected,
and we had TO have them driven in by the
soldiers We had as police. But that yaccina-
ton absolutely stopped the smallpox and we
were able to put our carpenters back on
more profitable work.
! thought that in view Of the bill now up
TO Governor Whitman, the above might be of
interest 20 you. PHILIP DeWOLF.

The Value of Gold.
% the Editor Of The Tribune.

To the Editor Of The Tribune.
SIR The conclusions arrived at by you
editorally yesterday morning as to the
fuctuating value of dollar have one weak
point in that they are based to such an ex-
tent upon the economic fallacy that the value
of gold and the consequent range Of prices
are dependent upon the amount of gold pro-
duced. This is principle that is true in the
exchange of commodities, because there it is
the commodities themselves that are actually
bought and sold, although even in that case
the effect is only temporary and always
gravitates back TO the relative cost of pro-
duction; but there is such an ininitesimal
amount of gold that changes hands as com
pared with the volume Of transactions where
il is used as a measure of value that its
total volume is Of little if any significance
what does count is whether the labor or
energy cost of producing gold is being dimin-
ished, as it has been by the introduction of
new processes during the last fifteen or
twenty years, for the first time to any mate
rial extent in the history Of modern or
medieval commerce. II that process con-
tinues to go on, or even the present COM
paratively low cost of production is main
tanned, the value Of gold as compared with
other things will remain lower than it used
to be, entirely irrespective of the amount of
gold in existence f. J. SHRiTER.

in this case there is distinct justification in

Sir: The Detroit Brick Manufacturers

titled THE Edison Fire" the contents con-

in a trade Journal, THE Clay Worker" The
entire purpose Of this publication IS to dis
credit and if possible retard the use Of re-

To the Editor Of The Tribune.
Sir: Returning from Albany after our sue
ccssful campaign to defeat the vicious can
merry legislation, desire on behalf OF the
New York Child Labor Committee to express
to your paper our qualification for the active
and intelligent support it has given US in our
fight to prevent the breaking down OF the
legal protection as to hours for women and
minors in canning factories. The satisfac-
tory outcome of our efforts. I believe, is in
no small measure due to the splendid pub
Lefty campaign of the press Of this city and
throughout the state.
Never as far as ! can remember, have we
had more assistance from the newspapers.

New York's Fire Risk.

Sir: There is a persistent effort on the
part Of all identified with the city admins
tration, now as ever, TO emphasize the i'm
portance Of their own department. What
does this fire alarm risk proclaimed by Mr.
Hammitt really amount to? Is there any
danger Of New York burning up on account
Of defective Fire Department wires as long
as the telephone system remains in opera
ton? With telephones now numbered BY the
hundreds OF thousands in this city, it seems
to me that the original idea of the ire alarm
system is very largely nulifed.

cation which you understand how 10 mi.

but in November she had given up the
task. She had left France and England
to bring Their total strength up while
she endeavored to put Russia out, and she
had failed in the east as in the west.
Thus reviewed, the second phase, 20 Tar
as the west is concerned, becomes simple
enough. 1t saw the rise Of new Ger
man offensive, fresh effort to dispose OF
one enemy-France-fo England was still
but French auxiliary, holding section
of the French line. 1t saw the failure OF
this offensive, thanks TO Belgian and Brit
sh devotion. Then it saw the swift trans
fer of the German effort to the east--a
repetition Of the attempt TO dispose Of one
enemy before the other could come up
But always with the perfectly clear con-
dition that the Russian foe must be dis
posed of before French and English
menaces became too dangerous. In sum,
Germany had to beat Russia completely
in the winter campaign, given her failure
in Flanders.
After November tho mission Of the
German army in the west was that of
Grouchy in the Waterloo campaign. 1t
was to hold the Ango-French forces in
check while the Kaiser disposed of Russia,
as Napoleon planned to destroy Yelling
ton. Unlike Grouchy, the German COM
manders performed their task; under
growing pressure they held on. But Rus
STA was not disposed of and Germany's
hands were still tied by the needs of her
Austrian ally in the Carpathians. Mean
time, as Napoleon had always at Waterloo
to deal with increasing pressure from the
Prussians in Plancenoit, the Kaiser's gen
erals were put to it to hold their long
lines in France, Flanders and Alsace.
Even the desperate battle about Ypres,
which marks the closing of April, seems
rather the answer to British pressure to
the east Of that town, an effort to beat
down the menace Of the Ypres position,
than any new effort to reach Calais or
the Channel 1t is fight for local ad-
vantage. not one more grandiose offensive
such as those Of August and October.
In sum, in the west Germany had in the
winter phase passed from the offensive to
the defensive, and for the meaning Of the
transformation Bernhardis words re-
NAMED a simple and comprehensive ex-
planation-words he could eat and has
