To the Editor or ne lrlDune-
Sir: One cannot imagine anything more
horrible than drowning OF women and eh!l-
dren and other non-combstantsi but then,
whv not look the situation squsrely Ia the
face and see that the boat was one Of .
nation at war, and was laden. brimful, as is
not denied, with ammunition for that nation!
Would any nation have done less than the
Germans have done, especially after repeated
warnings By that government not TO travel on
hostile ships, there being three or four
American ships making the same trips
True. our President had said he would hold
the Germans TO strict accountability for any
American lives lost b. their war zone decree.
Well, our American citizens, II they had used
but little foresight, should not have put
him in a position to have to ask It
And here wish TO pay tribute 70 our
President He is the man Of the hour and
the best we could have in the White House
to-day. It would be a great deal better FOR
the nation at large II it caught little OF
his ideal, noble way Of looking at things. All
honor TO him for communing with himself
instead OF calling in the great ammunition
interests or any other interests that may
have an axe to grind.
Also. in passing, wish 10 say that we are
not towards and not afraid. And we are TOO
proud TO fight" The spirit Of rs is as alive
in US to-day as it was then. But the only
war we should engage In g one IN defence
Of our homes. Then |, woman and
humanitarian, would shoulder gun with
millions more OF my brothers and sisters 70
show them. But unless such time come we
should settle all matters by thinking and
acting In a spirit Of neutrality. as we should
have done had Europe not been embroied IN
this most destructive Of wars. We should set
an example of peace and be proud to DO IL

Sir: | wish to express to you my sincere
thanks and congratulations on your editorial
Of the 18th on the Lusitanis outrage. 1t IS
frank comprehensive and expressive of the
true Christian spirit, Of loyalty, that should
abide in every true Americans heart.
The German government has gone into
partnership with the Turks and Kurds and
adopted their inhuman, brutal and barbarous
practices and disregard all national and
human laws of civilized peoples. The United
States should frst deport Dr.. Dernburg for
his brutal audacity in standing up in an
American audience and defending German
brutality in numbering our men, women and
children and spreading treason to our govern
mcnt among our people

should send the German government an ulti-
matum to Immediately withdraw their sneak

PRESIDENT VIII SONS MESSAGE
State Department Should Have Acted
on German Warning Before Disaster.

To the Editor % The Tribune.
Sir: Your editorial treatment Of the situa-
ton growing out Of the Lusitania tragedy is
most admirable This mornings editorial.
president Wilson's Message" has the true
patriotic, pure American. ring to II.
What a pity, though, our Department OF
State did not take cognizance OF the astound-
ing advertised German warning promptly on
its appearance, and then, had il received official
confirmation or the like Disturbance, let II
be known that this country's attitude would
be what il now is, without further ado!
Might it not then have been possible to
cause Germany to stop and think before the
outrage had been committed?
Is it not now case of locking the stable
door after the horse mas been stolen?
Had that step been taken and had it been
followed by T. modification Of the orders OBJ
yiously given to the officers of Germany
submarines. we would not now be confronted
by the necessity Of offering unto Germany "a
peaceful solution in the present crisis"
American life and American rights would
have been safeguarded.
As il is. the lost may be regarded as mar
tyrs to the establishment on earth Of a

try. to the elimination of all hyphenated

America s Part.

To the Editor Of The Tribune.
Sir: 1t Is oft repeated that no man can
serve two masters, but among the curious
conditions created BY this amazing war one
will be, In the event Of our present relations
with Germany resulting in an open break
that the German-Americans will be able, on
the surface at least, to do just that thing;
in fact, will be In the unprecedented position
of ability TO kill not two, but three birds
with one stone: aiding America, aiding Ger
many and hurting the (as now constituted
Allies.
America is additionally sverse TO entan-
Cling alliances, and even at war with Germany
would not probably enter the alliance against
her. Cooperating in q military way would
not constitute such An alliance.
The German-Americans could certainly not
be accused OF lack Of patriotism for America
by agitating for an immense army and insist
ing that our industrial strength be devoted
entirely to equipping that army, that there
fore and henceforth all our production OF
powder, shot and she'll be retained within oul
borders for our own use; but this would, SO
far as Europe is concerned, help Germany
and hurt her enemies, which is the object fol
which they have long st-iven.
The answer, however, is not hard. We car
safeguard ourselves from Germany by re-
ducng German strength a. well as II mo-
better than by increasing our own, and dc
this on the principle Of bringing together tn,

An Elopement.

Way over on the upper East Side, near
First Avenue. live two young people who
are practising their belief that happiness
needs little material foundation. The
husband is an elevator runner, whose
wages spread rather thinly over the max
edness Of rfe's necessities. The bride is
the daughter Of a tenant IN the fashion
able apartment house where formerly her
husband was doorman. They eloped; she
has not been forgiven. And for two
months they have occupied tiny fat in q
tenement house, happier, she says, than
ever before.
One is forcibly reminded Of Maupas-
SAINTS famous tale Of the colonels dauEh-
ter. Of Nancy. who eloped with one Of her
fathers soldiers and thereafter remained
as one dead to her family. But many
wears later traveller from Nancy came
upon her and her aged husband living
contentedly in q PEASANTS hut in Corsica,
where for forty years they had slept on
straw and eaten together their daily soup
Nl CaNNdEtS Win idIh pi' JuilNlS H"ppS
Possibly our East Side couple, or one
Of them, has read this story, which no
doubt has formed an inspiration for many
pair of lovers defed by the artificial
barriers of social difference and economic
convention. And for many also (some
would say for alb it has eventually
proved as empty a dream as the pot Of
gold at the end Of the rainbow.
This much, at least, may be assumed
it voices a faith infinitely easier Of full
flment in Corsica than on First Avenue.
First Avenue hears too plainly the loud
call Of the world, maddeningly insistent.
In Corsica it comes family and only at
long intervals. IF, therefore, our sturdy
Young idealsts would continue TO cult
vate successfully their garden of happi-
ness, let them plant it soon in more
secluded place, where the cutworm of
envy enters motor seek earnestly the
forgiveness Of the brides irate parents.

CITY Parole.

Establishment Of a city parole board,
made possible by Governor Whitman's
SIGNING Of the Nhne-Hoff bin, seems 70 be
regarded as an experiment Of doubtful
value by many. There is no reason why
il should be considered more questionable
than the parole principle as 1t Is applied
bv the State Board-and that has gone
beyond the point Of doubt, regardless Of
occasional mistakes. This bill authorizes
the Board Of Estimate in any first class

ING jurisdiction over a workhouse, penl-
Tertiary or reformatory 70 establish a
parole commission. Three members are TO
be appointed by the Mayor, while the Police
Commissioner and the Commissioner Of
Correction Will be members ex oficio. The
commission, in It's judgment, may parole
prisoners sentenced 70 imprisonment for
three years or less. The purpose OF the
measure is 10 make possible the release
from prison Of individuals when investiga-
ton has indicated that society's punish
ment has accomplished its object and the
prisoner is ready TO go straight.
The Judge WHO imposes sentence has not
and cannot have, any idea Of how impris-
onment will react on any person. lie SEN
fences hopefully but blindly. If the pun
ishment effect "cure" of the criminal be-
fore the end Of the sentence, and there
be no way 70 parole the prisoner, harm
inevitably results-the individual is IN
iured and there is injury also TO society.
Indeterminate sentences and parole sys-
TENS have been devised TO meet this con
ditjon. Parole is needed much more for
the Young and the minor criminals-those
whose offences take them 10 the workhouse'

than that could not be drawn from him,
