rance of the Imperial Ministry of Marine
There has been a great deal of Boosting
about the warfare on commerce. When-
ever n fishing vessel has been sunk the
German people have been duly informed
of the exploit. Yet for the news OF the
twenty battleships they had to go TO
Stockholm.
The only probable explanation is that
the news came to the Ministry of Marine
by way Of the newspapers, and this can
be accounted for only on the suppositlon
that the submarine commanders them
selves were ignorant of what they had
done. But whatever the real explanation
may be, we certainly owe a great debt to
the enterprising reporter of Stockholm
and should be very grateful that in spite
of the British censor we can stilb get the
truth ria Sayville, Long Island.

German American Pests.

To the Editor of The Tribune.
Sir: The end of the German propaganda
suggested in your editorial Crush Out Ger
man Terrorism" can be accomplished in a
very simple way. Unless it is crushed out
quickly and entirely it will soon lead to more
outrages Of the Washington-Glen Cove type
There are probably no people in the world
ordinarily more law-abiding and less turbu-
lent than the typical workaday Germans, but
here are also no people in the world who
so blindly and so unquestioningly follow the
orders and suggestions of their self-appointcd
eaders.
These leaders in America are the intel
ectuals or Observation-Disclosures, a small but ac-
tive body whose membership is of men like
Viereck, Bartholdt and Vollmer If the men
Of this class, numbering less than 1000, who
are the source, or are close TO the source, OF
the pro-German propaganda and agitation
were all arrested and transported beyond our
borders the great mass OF our population
having German blood in their veins would
have an opportunity to resume in our esteem
the place they so firmly occupied before the
war and would not be long in embracing the
opportunity. RUSSELL E. GEYER.

Infant Heirs to Thrones

From The Dundee Aducr'iser)
The coming Of age of the Prince of Wales
calls attention 10 the numerous cases in
which at the present time there are infant
heirs apparent 70 European thrones. Thus,
Prince Frederick Of Denmark was sixteen last
March, and Prince Leopold Of Belgium will
be fourteen next November Prince Olav of
Norway will be twelve next month, and Prince
Humbert Of Italy eleven in September. The
Czarevtch will be eleven in August, and
Prince Alfonso Of Spain and Princess Juliana
Of Holland were eight and six. respectively,
in May last. As regards the others, the Bull
garian Crown Prince came Of age last Janu-
airy, Prince Carol of Rumanta will be twenty
two next October. Prince George Of Greece
twenty-five next July, the Archduke Charles
Francis Joseph twenty-eight in August. The
heir to the Serbian throne is twenty-seven,
Gustav Adolf of Sweden will be thirty-three
in November, while the Crown Prince of Ger
many was thirty-three last May The two
Oldest heirs are Prince Danio Of Montenegro,
who will be forty-four next Tuesday, and
Prince Youssof lseedin, the Sultan's heir,
who is ffty-eight

Chickens Come Home to Roost.

While the whole world is familiar with
the fact that chickens will come home to
roost. there is little literature eXtant de-
scriptive of the sensations of those who
have to feed and care for them on their
return. Certain Albany politicians, never
theIess, must be experiencing those sensa-
tons in the highest degree because Of n
recent ruling of the State CiyS Service
Commission. That ruling declares that
ninety-six places under the recently
created State Industrial Commission must
be filled by competitive examination. At
one cruel blow it takes ninety-siX fat jobs
out of the domain of political spoils-and
to all remonstrances and protests the
commission answers that the law says it
shall be thus and not otherwise.
Now, this is the more grevous in that
there existed no particular reason for
creating the State Industrial Commission
except to leCislate certain ofiicehoders out
of place and put many would-be ofiicehold-
ers into place. The Labor Department
and the Workmen's Compensation Com
mission were doing excellent work sep
arately. Certain theorists on industrial
legislation believed a better organization
would be possible if they were combined
N one department.; certain hungry polti-
clans took up the theory, and passed the
law, never noticing the one really good
point in the whole measure-that stipu-
lating that all save five places in the new
department should be competitive.
The chickens have come home to roost.
There is grave doubt whether the i'm
portant task Of protecting factory work.
ers and the equally important task Of
supervising payments for industrial acct
dents can be performed as well under this
new department as they were before it
was created. There is no doubt that many
who worked and voted for the change,
hoping to profit directly or indirectly
thereby, are now extremely busy kicking
themselves.

Matt Shay.

Gentlemen become bald and corpulcnt
and gray and unimaginative, but they
never wholly outlive their boyhood admi-
ration of the locomotive engineer. The
majority Of them may have announced
once to parents or playmates that when
they grew up they would become locomo-
tive engineers, and if only society had
room enough for so many manipulators OF
the throttle perhaps these good citizens
might have been happier and better had
they followed their early inclinations. A
man can't drive an engine and be less
than man.
Matthew II. Shay was one Of those boys
who did realize his early ambition. He
became an engine driver and a good one,
and a real man and good one, so that
his reputation spread among his kind and
caused them in time TO elect him grand
secretary-treasurer Of the Brotherhood Of
Locomotive Engineers. Possibly only
Warren s. Stone, the grand chief, is bet
ter known to the heroes of the cab than
was Matt Shay. And now Matt is dead
and the world is the loser for such men
dignity labor, add romance to the soiled
overalls and the tin dinner pail and make
an honest wage to appear the noblest re-
ward of life.
Fortunately before he died the Erie
Railroad had named the greatest locomo-
tive in the world after him. Only a few
men live to see monuments erected 10
them and fewer still to see their own re-
incarnation. May the Matt Shay that
survives continue for many years TO do
the work of mankind in memory of the
Matt now at rest!

School Teachers of Other Days

To the Editor of The Tribune.
Sir; Your correspondent, F. Milton Smith
writes Of conditions forty-fve years ago, when
he was a sehoolboy Times have greatly
changed during the intervening period Poll
tics was not so rampant nor graft so preva
lent then as now. Children then were edu-
Gated, both mentally and morally.
My own schoOlboyhood dates back fifty
years, and, as | recall the tutors OF those
days were of a different type from the public
school teachers Of recent years. Those faith
full instructors were devoted to their occupa-
ton instead of to Mammon. They were more
solicitous for the welfare Of their pupils than
for their own ease and pleasure
In my letter, so "humorously" commented
upon by your correspondent, aimed simply
at stating facts appreeiabe by all who keep
track OF current events, which Mr.. Smith
evidently fails to do. Live.
