Sir: In your marvellous editorial yester-

barbarians, who, in Gods name, is going to
hold the gate against Serbia?

TO the Editor of The Tribune.
Sir: Your splendid editorial entitled Ar
mena" has reminded me that there are still
other people who suffer from the brutal per-
secutions Of Wilhelm and his accompices.
But have been looking in vain for protest
against the cruelties which were committed
against the little Duchy Of Liechtenstein.
This heroic little nation has not forgotten
the wrong which Prussia did TO her in 1856
while at war with her present ally, Austria.
In fact. this embittered little nation has
never signed peace treaty with Prussia on
account Of the good" treatment II received
from Prussian "Kultur." At the outbreak Of
the present war the men OF Liechtenstein,
who arc forced to serve in the Austrian army,
mutined and six hundred of them were
promptly court-martaled. The civil popula-
ton. which is entirely isolated from the outer
world. has been condemned to slow starya-
ton. since neither Austria nor her "Kultur

which our President is lodging against Ger
many there will be also one in behalf Of this
unhappy little nation.

"A NATIONAL THERMOPYLAE'
Serbia's Task the Heavier for the
1ngratitude of Bulgaria.
To the Editor Of The Tribune.

To the Editor OF The Tribune
Sir: In your very esteemed and disin-
terested paper, which is honorably standing
on the guard Of truth and justice, there ap-
peared today a spirited article headed "A
National Thermopyla."
Regardless Of few little things which
could be corrected in the said article, the
same is brilliant in its spirit OF feeling and
the Just sympathies toward my heroic and
sorely tried nation. which ia now for three
years bathing itself in its own blood and
the blood of its enemies inspired with the
ideal wish 10 preserve its precious liberty,
dearly paid for and won with utmost diff
Guilty, and TO set free the still subjugated
brethren.
The Serbian nation is performing It's diff
cult and solemn duty with abnegation. It's
children and women are madly and afro
ciously massacred by the savage and blood
thirsty soldiers Of the three countries-the
army Of the Infatuated and bloody vampire
Of Prussia, the army Of the senile and
Jcsuitsm-po poisoned old man of Austris and
the Mongol hordes Of their treacherous,
fsithess, ungrateful, dishonest and base
servant from Sofa.
And what is most frightfu and most
shameful IS that the Bulgsrians for the
second time stabbing US with their poisoned
knife In the side-those Bulgsrians for
whom 10000 Of our brave soldiers have been
shedding streams Of blood around Adrian
ople, and that now have risen against the
great Russia, those very same Buigarans
whom the Russians have liberated
In order to lay bare and to set forth, be-
sidcs the ingratitude which is so evident
from the above facts, the unheard OF and
the abomnable psychic obscenity
to-day united and fraternized with Turks.
they are fighting against Slavdom and
against the most civilized nations of Europe,
hose very same Bulgarians whose mothers
and sisters were outraged by the Turks
thirty-fvc years agol
1t may be that this Turkish strocity is the
reason of the special atavism of Bulgarians.
II may be that this is the reason that In the
soul of the present Bulgarians there is moth

nothing more OF the Slavic distinctions TO
BE- found.

Henry II. Curran.

Among those who viii be voted for next
Tuesday none has deserved better of his
electorate and of his city than Alderman
Henry II. Culran. His record has been
indorsed by every civic organization of
standing in the community-it deserves
the inaorsement of the common sense
which operates at the polls directly and
not through the medium Of civic bodies.
Chairman Of the Finance Committee Of
the Board of Aldermen, intelligent, indus
trious, conscientious public servant, Mr..
Curran has contributed more than one
mans share TO making an assembly
that was only recently joke and nui-
sance an efficient instrument for city ser
vice. In his years in Office Mr.. Curran has
done a great deal of quiet work and a
noticeably small amount of public talking.
The combination is sufficiently rare to in
vite reward.
If Alderman Curran were defeated the
loss to the city would be real. But it
would not be comprehended in the mere
elimination of a useful public officer. It
would, in addition. be a demonstration
that honest. ghtforward, intelligent
hard work is not what the people desire
in those whom they elect to Office; it would
be proof that the public prefers TO be de-
ceived by words to being served by work.
Mr.. Curran is Republican whose pub
lie service has been an honor to his own
party. But he is quite az much an ad-
mirable example of the kind Of partisan
-partisans can best afford to support
in a city election, in which public rather
than party interests are properly held to
be controlling.

An Apology When II Was Necessary

IL is bound TO be gratifying TO all be-
levers in fair and decent campaign meth
DDS that the Man Suffrage Association
Opposed to Woman Suffrage has with
drawn its pamphlet which circuitously as
sailed suffrage leaders. II would have
been still more gratifying if such docu-
ment had never been issued. Quite prob
ably Mr. Everett p. Wheeler and the other
DISTINGUISHED citizens whose names carry
that organization did not intend to malign
and insult that large section of woman
hood which is seeking the vote. or to i'm
pugn the conduct and morals Of the hun
dreds of thousands of women who already
do vote in this country. Yet that is the
net effect of loose and reckless statements
Of some anti-suffragists about 1.-THE de
struction of the home" "the promotion Of
easy divorce" free love" "the entrance
Of white slaves into politics" and the like.
The demand for the ballot on the same
terms as those under which men now have
it comes from women Of every social posi-
ton. of every shade of thought, of every
religious belief What they will do with
the vote when they get it-those who have
not yet obtained its a subsidiary ques-
ton as little germane TO the real issue as
is the question what the immigrant just
receiving his final naturalization papers
Will do with the franchise which the gov
eminent thus confers on him.
To assail this representative body Of
American women, still more, 70 attack
their political propaganda, on the basis of
the private and personal beliefs Of any Of
them, is as unfair, illogical and improper
as TO charge that every anti-suffragist is
a ward heller because most ward heelers
are opposed to votes for women. To at
tribute to specified leaders of the suffrage
movement ideas which they never have
expressed, ideas which would disclose them
as "enemies of the home" at the very
best, is form of politics below the level
of the nudslinging of the male contests.

Machines Versus Ballots.

For the first time in the history Of
New York County, two voting machines
will be used here on Election Day. Their
use is regarded as an experiment, al
though elsewhere in the state machines
have been adopted and used to the entire
satisfaction of the electorate and the cleo
ton officials. There seems to be no reason
why they should not be Just as successful
here as they are in upstate cities.
In Buffalo, for instance, with heavy
foreign-born population, voting machines
are used. The citizens have no difficulty
in manipulating them. There is no posi-
bilitv Of a defective ballot, though an in
complete ballot may be voted on the ma
chine if the voter does not pay attention
enough to manipulate the button opposite
the name Of each candidate. As soon as
the polls are closed the result in pre-
cinct where machines are in operation is
known. as the machines automatically
total the ballots. thus doing away with the
tedious task Of adding up the votes. That
is why the first significant results Of a
state election usually come from the city
by the lake. With machines there is little
almost no-chance OF fraudulent voting,
certainly no stuffing Of boxes with can
non ballots
This experiment. if it be an experiment,
is bound 10 be interesting II ought even
+, he profitable 10 this city.
