About Subway Seats.

To the Editor of The Tribune.
Sir: 1t was with pleasure that read
Vans" letter to you last week, because at
least one man was bold enough 70 express
publicly his feelings regarding courtesy to
women in the subway, etc. However, the
letters published this morning make me feel
that ivan" is entitled to a little support.
Therefore, allow me to say that consider
the letter signed "E" as decidedly narrow
and one-sided. She evidently judges all
women to be of the same temperament and
TO have had the same experiences as herself.
Ii is true that there is the man who occu-
pies more space than is necessary. whom we
all know we'll the seat hog" but this
type is in the minority; in fact, | may safely
state that a very small number of the total
male passengers carried in New York's pub
lie conveyances daily may be classed as such.
az" evidently sees all men in this light,
which is great injustice
Further, she says that Occasionally a man
does rise" etc. would say this happens
very frequently, for rarely do enter a sub
way train that ! do not witness, not one, but
many cases, and, like cyan" | have always
made it a practice TO stand in Difference to a
woman. but seldom (mind don't say
"neverO Is there any sign of appreciation
from the New York woman. She seems 70
expect il NJ her due, which would probably
be beautiful theory realized, II all women

HIGH FARES FOR BAD SERVICE
A Commuter Desires Better Treat
ment if He Must Pay More.

To the Editor Of The Tribune.
Sir The New York Central Railroad VIII
raise fares to q IN cents mile standard on
January next, provided the schedule now on
file with the Public Service Commission be
approved. -.
Before approving tho commission should
give the matter careful consideration. IL ap-
prove they do, they should compel the rail-
road to do certain things for the traveller
They should compel the railroad to cease
running filthy passenger coaches; to run suf-
fccnt cars to seat all passengers, and TO
discontinue running the "tin cars" on local
trains, which are not fit for cattle.
They should consider the service rendered
by this road. Is il worthy of higher fare
The schedule time between stations in the
suburban zone of the Hudson division is long
and the trains are usually late. The express
service is very limited At certain hours the
service is exceptionally bad. Lack Of space
prevents me from citing examples, but there
are plenty that could mention. The incon-
venences of the far famed Grand Central
Terminal are numerous, and should not be
overlooked.
About fifteen years ago the communication
rate TO Tarrytown was $3.50. Il was raised
to $3.50, and shortly thereafter was made
1925. The ffty-trip optional books were
raised from $3.50 to s17.55 The one-way
rate was increased from 80 TO % cents,
though the 90-cent round trip fare remained
unchanged About year ago the mileage
book privileges were curtailed. While the
railroad claims that commutation and
mileage rates will not be altered the fact
that the regular fares will be increased about
25 per cent should be sufficient to cause every
patron of the road to use his or her influence
to prevent the increasing of fares that are
already too high.
| have used Tarrytown fares as an exam
pie, though | am familiar with conditions
along the entire suburban division, and know
that the rates to other points arc similar,
and, in some instances, higher In proportion
to the distance covered.
For increased rates we receive no better
service. Commuters have taken their griev-
ances to the Public Service Commission and
the courts The Public Service Commission
commuters-the Supreme Court in favor of
the railroad.
In q period Of retrenchment" a short time
ago trains were taken off, express service cut
down and through service hampered by stop
ping heavy trains at local stations.
| have committed regularly for four years
during that time have covered in all so, 900
miles on Eastern railroads, and | have had
many opportunities to observe the ways of
various lines. The New York Central is far
from being Al. "The public be damned is
still their slogan-but they want to raise
their fares EUGENE WHITE

Iogical, Self Respecting Course.

To the Editor Of The Tribune.
Sir: I want TO add my congratulations 70
MANY others you must be receiving on the
stand YOU take in the first editorial OF TO-
days issue.
You are absolutely right in holding that
severance Of diplomatic relations with Ger
many Is the logical and self-respecting course
for the United States in default of the repa-
ration we have asked for the wrongful de-
struction of American lives and property; but
il IL surely too much 70 expect, without heavy
nrodding. from an administration which has
been consistent during so long period in
its attitude of remonstrance tempered by
commitment and its strict adherence to the
use of words only.
1t is, indeed, very naive conception that
a nation like Germany, the state OF all states
depending on and idealizing force, will be
won by a series OF polite requests, decidedly
injurious TO her prestige to grant, when she
is quite convinced that noncompliance will
produce nothing more drastic than an addl-
tional note.
Perhaps II the Republicans in Congress will
show there Is some red blood left in the
country and that at least part of our govern
ment Is opposed to further shilly-shallyine
We NAV hasten the end OF these long nego-
tiations. But II that is not promptly accom-
plished let US put an end to negotiations
altogether. W.
New York Dec 4, 1915.
