No Greater Armament.

To the Editor of The Tribune.
Sir: II there is any scheme which strikes
numbers of our citizens and certainly most
social workers as reckless in character and
i'll advised in form, it is the proposition to
seek an immediate appropriation of $500, 00O,-
900 for a greater army and navy. Col. Rob
ert NJ. Thompson. who proposes to set forth
the uses of such an expenditure in a meeting
at Carnegie Hall, Monday night, has recently
declared that not less than the above sum
would suffice to put our navy in position
to command respect among the powers and
to render war remotely improbable" And he
goes on to say, with much junction.: "For
Heavens sake, let US learn something from
the example of othersl The pitiable condi-
ton in which England finds herself ought to
be lesson enough, and it ought not to be
necessary for us to go through the same
painful experience If war is forced upon s."
That is to say, the British Navy, which
even a year ago was considered to be the
most competent navy in the world and whose
condition We have all been taught was
superior to that of any other force upon the
seas, is so pitiably inadequate at this juno
ture that we should at once bestir ourselves
to produce a mightier armament
Colonel Thompsons logic is certainly clear
and simple. He believes the only terms on
which we can be practically secure from as
sault are those of superior naval equipment.
But should not he proposition TO expend he
tremendous amount suggested have a basis
in such a condition of international antagon-
ism as cannot now be said to exist? II any
thing Is sure, il is that the spirit Of retalia-
ton is not abroad in our land to-day. From
no representative portion Of the community
nor from any representative journal in the
country is there any demand for resort to
violence. We desire to impress Europe with
our peaceful purpose and aim. Can we do so
best only by an unmeaning quadrupling OF
our armament? Are there not other method
that may as surely convince the lands afar
of that we stand for the spirit in which our
President has indited his message to our
only possible opponent?

The Wireless Torpedo.
IRON The Mqnchc.tcr GuardionJ


The problem Of detecting the presence Of
submarine from the deck of a ship within
range by means of a platform on the gyro-
SCOPE principle which would carry an OBJ
server and high-power telescope is not the
only one which Mr.. Gardner, of Fleetwood,
believes that he has solved. lie has been eX-
perimcnting for many years on a wireless
torpedo, and now believes that he has brought
it to a state of practical effectiveness for con-
troll from the air. The wireless torpedo is
an established engine Of war from which
much is expected under certain conditions
American experiments are said 20 have ope-
rated to the extent of an oight-mlc range,
and there is now reason to believe that il IS
being used by Germany for harbor defence.
The earlier difficulties in the control being
broken by hostile disturbances of the ether
have been reduced to a minimum by the dis
coveries in the effectiveness of combined
musical and wave-length tuning. Mr.. Gard
ner's scheme is to operate the torpedo from a
seaplane, which can locate in good weather
submarine al a depth Of thirty feet. The tor
pcdo would carry heavy charge, which need
not be exploded by contact with the subma-
rne but by an explosion near the boat which
would damage il so as TO make il helpless
Such weapon could lie in wait if suspended
from a non-sinkable float, and if electrically
driven at spot suspected TO be invested by
submarines would be ready to dart away in
any direction under the control OF its master
hydropane 1t is argued that the moral effect
of such a combination would be considerable,
for it gives both requirements-th possibil-
ity Of detection from a height { so that the
hull as well as the periscope may be seem
and the means of setting up a powerful ex-
plosion in the near neighborhood Of the sub
marine. Another system Of distinction and
detection invented by Mr. Gardner is already
well known TO naval experts. II is a small
crewless submarine, also suspended from q
float which lows an aerostat in which is
seated the operator, who governs his weapon
by a stcp-to-step motion in q boat through
electrical conductors connecting the boat with
a balloon. Il is not for a layman to pro-
nounce any judgment on these highly tech
meal matters, although some of the diff
cultes that would attend the use Of these
engines is obvious, but ] have reason to be-
lieve that Mr.. Gardeners inventions are re-
ceiving most earnest attention, as might be
expected with an inventor whose sound sig
mailing system for submarines is SO well
known.

An Important Convention.

No more important convention of bust
ness executives will be held in the United
States this year than that Of the Associ-
ated Advertising Clubs Of the World.
which opens in Chicago tomorrow with a
series of sermons delivered in fifty Of the
leading churches.
1t is more than a convention Of those
interested in technique Of advertising,
more than a gathering Of men who buy
or sell advertising space or plan cam
paigns. 1t is a great clearing house for
the interchange of ideas between men who
make and sell most of the things worth
while in the United States. SO many new
conditions have developed since the last
convention, events in all the departments
Of human activity have marched with
such astonishing speed, that every ad-
vertiser, every executive, every pro
gressive business man in the country must
feel now, if he never did before, the ad-
vantage Of and the necessity for an inter
change of views and experiences.
Old lines of effort have been broken,
and the disturbances caused by the drop
ping Of business for war in the greater
part Of Europe have made many unprec-
edented opportunities for business in this
country. Because old guide-posts of bust
ness have in some cases entirely disap-
Ipeared, executives are travelling to
Chicago to get their bearings, to learn
how to take advantage of the new condi-
tons and to pick up new ideas. There is
strong evidence Of appreciation Of the fact
that there never was a time when counsel
would yield larger returns and that no.
where else in the world is afforded any
similar opportunity for obtaining money
making and money-saving plans.
That all sections of the country are
sending delegations, unusual in size and
unusual in the strength Of their personnel
is hopeful sign Of an awakening to the
power of cooperation in business which
has been so wonderfully developed in
Germany, and which the Chamber OF
Commerce of the United States is doing
so much to promote in the American re-
publics.

"An Important Development"

The forbearance Of German submarine
commanders in the last six weeks is said
TO be regarded as very significant in high
official quarters" The proof Of forbear-
ance, according 20 a special Washington
dispatch in "The Evening Post" lies in
their failure 70 attack passenger ships
from American ports. We are asked to
regard this circumstance as evidence Of
an important development" showing a
manifest control Of submarine activities"
This is obvious nonsense. Attacks on
fast passenger steamers have but rarely
been reported since the attempted sub
marine blockade began; not it is clear,
because the Germans were held in check
by conscientious scruples, but because such
ships are harder to catch than slow tramps
and fishing vessels. No ship running at
the speed of the Lusitania had ever thith-
erto been sunk by a German submarine,
and It is by no means manifest that the

Cornelps Tribute to Mr.. White.

A public man rarely enjoys lne
privilege Of being present at the
unwilling Of his own statue. Mr.
Andrew D. White enjoyed that cXcep-
tional experience last Wednesday, when
Karl Bitters figure Of him was unveiled
on the campus Of Cornell University.
Such a tribute Of admiration and affec-
ton on the part Of the Cornell alumni
was natural and praiseworthy. 1t repre-
scented proper recognition of Mr.. Whites
diplomatic and other public services, as
well as his services to education and
scholarship.
We publish on another page Of this
issue a brief address on Mr.. Whites
career as a public man, delivered by
Colonel Henry w. Sackett at the I'M
yelling exercises. In this stress is justly
laid on the qualities which insured their
possessor his marked success as a diplo-
matist. The ability to influence and per-
suadc. to put case convincingly without
exciting antagonism, is one Of the most
valued assets in diplomacy. 1t was this
characteristic of Mr.. White which won the
good will and confidence Of those with
whom he came into contact. 1t was his
personal influence in the case which Mr..
Sackett cites, which led Emperor William
II to assent to Germanys approval Of the
Hague convention establishing an interna-
tional court Of arbitration-an assent
which none Of the Emperor's German ad-
visers had been able to obtain.
Interest in the ceremony at Ithaca is
not confined to friends of Cornell Uni
versity nor to the people of New York
State. Mr.. Whites fame is countrywide,
as his services have been countrywide.
The nation gladly honors him for what he
is and what he has done.

His National Pride Suffers.

To the Editor of The Tribune.
Sir: After reading in your valuable paper
how Gerhard, alias Alfred Meyer, and Won
BernstorfF tricked our government, Of the
Stahl perjury, the escape of Hardenberg, the
officers and sailors of the Prinz Eitel escap-
ing from their informed ship, and a hundred
of other details, a sense of shame and humil-
iation comes over me-ths is the first time
Of my life l am not proud of America.
What is our government in Washington
doing to defend our dignity, to avenge the
cold blooded murder of our citizens and the
sinking of our merchant vessels? Sending a
note to the Kaiser respectfully asking him to
stop hitting US, with almost a request for
him to apologize for damage done to life and
property If this country had committed
such crimes against Germany as she did
against the United States, New York, Boston
and many of our seaports would be bonn
barded by this time and war indemnities by
the billions exacted.
Prayers for peace Christian ethics! What
nonsensel "An eye for an eye, tooth for a
tooth" This is how our government ought
to treat those barbarians. Then they would
respect America. This way they hoodwink
and despise US.
What a sad spectacle our hyphenated citi-
zens present; rallying around Bryan and
threatening to vote against those of our gov
eminent who will not be on the side of Ger
many. Disfranchise theml
Isn't It about time, Mr. Editor, for you to
write another laundering editorial to clear
the atmosphere and tell our government to
show some virility? II. W.

Mistaken Heroism."
George, N. Y, June Is, 1915.
or of The Tribune.

To the Editor of The Tribune.
Sir: Il seems to me that an unnecessary
bitterness has entered these columns and
that among women especially the pro and
anti war factions are becoming heated with
out reason.
Surely there Is no need to hold up for de-
rision the feeling Of thousands Of peace-lov-
ing citizens that war is to be avoided at all
costs by branding it an instinct Of cowardice!
Was there ever, let me ask, a clearer in
stance of two wrongs not making right than
the present crisis which confronts US? Here
tofore we have held ourselves aloof from
the frightful confusion and horror of war
with a feeling Of thankfulness that 10 US
would be spared the hell that has come on
other nations And now, with no more cause
than they whose hastiness we have deplored,
whose retribution we have seen, we are rush
ing headlong down the path whose end also
is death.
One by one we have watched these nations
enter the conflict, and what has resulted2
Shredder conclusion? Lessenng Of horror,
hate and lust? Greater safety and happiness
for the home? No. Only a deepening Of
all that is murderous, frightful and unbridled
among the forces of present day warfare.
Who, on pausing a moment to give ra-
tional thought to the future, would want to
see his country stricken sore and struggling
wellnigh hopelessly to throw off the inevita-
bic burden Of desolation, poverty and death
Surely the tragic example at which we are
all shuddering should be powerful enough
to make US strive for peace at any and all
costs. What more do we need to make US
realize the sin and shame and futility Of
war?
Then why the epithet "sniyelling"? Why

After all, who Is the better American, one

The Danger Season for Typhoid.

1t is a timely warning that has just
been given TO the employees Of the gov
eminent by the Public Health Service.
They are reminded that this is the dan
ger season" for typhoid fever, and that it
is highly desirable to secure relative i'm
munity by incubation. Typhoid fever has
formerly accounted for seventy-fve deaths
a year among government workers. One
hundred and seventy-four stations are now
established, where prophylactic treatment
may be had free Of charge, and it is to be
hoped they have not been established in
vain.
When the benefits of incubation are
more generally understood it will probably
be more popular. Possibly the government
employees may set an example in this
matter. Flies, milk, contaminated food of
various kinds or polluted water may all
play part in spreading the disease and,
as the officers of the Public Health Service
point out, no matter how faithful and
efficient your health officer may be, he
cannot altogether relieve you of the dan
gers Of the disease" What may be called
vacation typhoid" is Of verycommon occur
renee, and those who 60 for their holidays
to places where they cannot be sure Of
their food supplies would do wisely to
provide against the danger Of infection.
Unfortunately, the characterization and
anti-vivisection cranks have done their
best TO discourage the public in the use
