Chaufeurs and City Cars.

To the Editor of The Tribune.
Sir: There are at present $50 eligible
chaufeurs on the civil service list awaiting
appointments.
When an ordinary citizen seeks employ
ment from the City of New York as a chauf-
feur or automobile engineman he Is COM
PEELED to pass state automobile and munich
pay civil service examinations, including a
demonstration. Having passed these exami-
nations, he must pay for the operating priv
ilege-that is TO say, he pays for his license.
There are city officials in New York who
personally operate the city cars, thus combin-
ing the chaufFeur's task with their own off,
cial duty. These city officials are exempt
from examination. Furthermore, they are
not compelled by the law to buy chauffeur's
license.
The city official who operates the city cars
and who Is not examined, Is more likely 10
inJure persons because Of his inexperience.
Why are the chauffeurs thus Disseminated
against? WIN.

John Bunny.

If any one ever had dual personality
it was John Bunny. One personality-the
private, normally articulate, every day
mortal, subject to the limitations of space
and time-is no more. The second-a comic
genius Of pantomime, laughing, fearing,
raging through countless scenes simulta-
neously from one end Of the world to the
other-lives on, assured Of Immortality
while the partnership between the movies
and human nature remains unbroken.
For the comparatively narrow circle COM
prised in Bunny's family and personal
friends there may be little consolation in
this reflection. But for the ninety millions
of movie fans, selfish in their love Of this
funmaker's kaleidoscope image, the knowl-
edge that death cannot remove the John
Bunny who was their friend comes as
the balm Of Gilead.
For the mans art has universal np-
peal. The wholesome comedy Of the
Bunny facial expressions Is tightening the
human burden for myriads Of individuals,
regardless Of race or creed, warming them
with sense Of brotherhood. It has come
nearer to justifying the new medium than
all the elaborate scenic and historic
"pageants" ever devised by ingenious mo-
ton picture producers.

"Luminos' Pictures.
or OF The Tribune.

To the Editor Of The Tribune.
Sir: You published a letter signed by "a.
c." on Thursday last in which the writer
asked about certain pictures he had seen on
Fifth Avenue Opposite the Public Library
which resembled ordinary paintings, but had
in them wonderful column Of apparently
real light.
The pictures alluded to by your CORE
spondent arc "Cornwell Luminos," an en-
trely new principle Of the study Of light In
it's relation to art. The light which your cor
respondent saw and which so beautifully illu-
mined the picture was, in fact, real light.
II does not come through stained glass, but
is skilfully modelled into the picture by
massng colored paper In thick forms or in
thin and transparent layers, thus permitting
the light through In the exact column desired
by the artist.
The result obtained resembles an oil paint
ing or water color, but is far moro beautiful
animated and vibrant.

It has been your practice Of late TO decry
and critcise every act Of Germany's in the
present war in it's of destructive imple-
ments. Yet you mention nothing about Rus

Perhaps you have overlooked the reports OF
the behavior OF the Cossacks in Poland, Of
their treatment Of non-combatants especially
the Jewish men and women. You will, /
suppose, say that that is warfare and cannot
be helped. Why? Because Russia belongs
to the Allies.

Dress Reform in the Navy.

DR.. J. c. Pryor, naval surgeon, wants
to abolish sailor collars, neckerchiefs, Ian
yards and bell bottomed trousers from the
navy. All are non-utilitarian, he says,
save possibly the lanyard. "The expansion
Of the trouser leg at the lower end serves
no good purpose" he argues, except to
convey to the eye the traditional picture
of the sailor" While the weight in these
articles of dress may appear negligible,
at seems desirable to discard every
weight or incumbrance the sole function
Of which Is appearance"
These recommendations are bound to
tear the heart Of Josephus. On the sur
face they are right in line with his policy
Of extracting the salt from sea life and
reducing nautical" TO naught. The coun-
try's tars, redressed, might have uniforms
of Eton jackets and knee breeches, which
would admirably carry out the Josephan
idea of the navy as a school. The great
trouble lies in the fact that Dr.. Pryor's
suggestions are made with q view Of add
ing efficiency TO the sailors as a fighting
force-of lessening the weight of clothes
in field and landing operations, when each
man has TO carry heavy load. That,
manifestly, is not TO be thought of-by
the Secretary Of the Navy, at least.

FEWER THAN THE POLICE
This Country's Available Defender:
Against Sudden Attack.

To the Editor of The Tribune.
Sir: have read with much interest one
Of your able editorials OF recent date, en-
titled "Our Only Line Of Defence" May
comment on one paragraph which seems to
me slightly misleading, in that 1t seems to
show our defending force to be much more
effective than it really Is at present?
In the second paragraph you state that
"our regular mobile troops, available for
combat with hostile troops which had effected
a landing, and exclusive Of those garrisoned
oversee, number between 10000 and 100000"
Now, as a matter Of fact, our regular mo-
bile troops which would be available for
combat with such hostile troops which had
effected landing, and exclusive of those gar
risons over the sea, number at the present
time about $4,000, since the 29th Infantry re-
Gently went to Panama and thus reduced the
previously absurd small mobile force of 20,
600 by the amount Of its own numbers; and
these would not be Immediately available, for
the most serious factor of the situation is
that there are not eight regiments of infan-
try in the United States north Of Texas, near
the Mexican border and these are scattered
in the following widely separated posts: The
l4th Infantry has headquarters and one bat
talon in the State of Washington, one bat
talon in Montana and the third battalion di-
vided among three different forts in Alaska.
The 18th, 18th, 18th and 22d regiments are
divided among three different posts in
Arizona. The Sd and S0th are divided
among three different posts in New York
State. The 21st is at the Vancouver Bar
racks. Washington. The rest of our infantry
is either near the Texas border in Panama,
in the Hawaiian Islands, in the Philippines or
in China.
Now, il took weeks for the provisional d-
vision modified near the Mexican border to
reach that point, having been assembled from
various widely separated parts Of the coun-
try, and It has been seriously alleged that
the division never was and is not yet COM
plete, and its component units certainly are
below their full strength. From the above
it will be seen that in case of sudden emer-
gency we must rely on less than eight regi-
ments Of infantry, scattered over this coun-
try between New York and Alaska, unless we
withdraw the incomplete division now look
ing on at the fireworks in Mexico, Another
lamentable fact Is that not one OF the eight
regiments mentioned, to say nothing Of those
in Texas, is at war strength or is completely
and properly differed. The eight regiments
referred to comprise in all not 5000 men! In
other words, we are pretending to safeguard
this whole United States by force of in
fantry less in number than the police force
Of this city, If we do not include the troops
on the Mexican border.

A Good Bill to Veto.

The opponents Of vaccination have used
their powers Of persuasion so effectually
at Albany as to secure the Senate's ap-
prevail Of measure exempting the school
children Of all cities Of the third and
fourth classes from this method Of protec-
ton against smallpox.
If the Tallett-Jones bill is passed into
law vaccination will no longer be COM
pulsory, in the limited sense in which it
is compulsory to-day, in any town with
a population below $4,000. This means
in effect, as a member of the legislative
committee Of the Kings County Medical
Society has pointed out, that in a very
few years great part Of the population
Of this state will be unprotected. 1t
means, however, that the larger cities
will be imperilled by the proximity Of
towns which may at any moment prove
TO be dangerous foci, as New Rochelle,
for instance, in relation to New York, or
Niagara Falls TO Buffalo.
The case of Niagara Falls, which two
years ago suffered the greatest outbreak
of smallpox that this state has known in
long time, shows plainly enough the
danger of allowing an unprotected popu-
lation to grow up in small towns. Had
not the condition been dealt with in the
most vigorous manner by the State De
partment of Health many other cities
would undoubtedly have suffered, and in
all probability further dallying would
have forced the sanitary authorities ulti
mately to cut off all communications with
Niagara Falls. AS 1t was, the conse,
uuences were sufficiently serious TO serve
as @ warning against further laxity.
The Tallett-Jones bill now awaits the
Governors signature. His duty in the
=. matter Is obvious.

Let Europe Settle Disputes.

To the Editor Of The Tribune.
Sir: Expressing a desire to or Offering
70 be party to settle the disputes at the
close OF the war between Germany and the
Allies Is all a mistake. The United States
should retain the friendship of Germany and
OF all those of German ancestry now residing
In this country, and It must be apparent to
al! intelligent persons that any settlement Is
likely to cause resentment on the part Of one
or all the great powers now engaged in this
world conflict.
We have millions of citizens Of German an
cestry whose sympathies are naturally with
the Fatherland, where fathers or brothers
are contesting in what they believe 10 he a
Just cause. We have little right TO blams
these people among US who thus sympatbize
with native land and loved ones, although we
have right to insist that they shall show
entire loyalty to the land of their adoption.
1t Will certainly be to the interes. Of the
United States not only to remain neutral
adhering to international law and the rules
OF war established in years past but II will
also be 70 her interest to refuse to ENGAGE
IN any way in settlement between the now
ers which can only leave heartburninos Ia,
Europe settle her own disputes.

Improve the Police Stations.

1t ought to be an afFront to the pride
Of New Workers that conditions in the
police station houses have been SO bad
that a committee Of citizen volunteers had
taken hold to show how they can be bet
tered. This experiment with the West
Forty-seventh Street and the East Fifty
first Street stations ought not TO be
needed. There can hardly be any question
about the desirability of proper ventila-
ton, adequate bathing facilities, good
gymnasiums and supply OF reading
matter and their effect on the men. Yet
such things have been conspicuous by their
absence.
For calling the public's attention to this
in so forceful and practical
a manner, the committee of citizens which
has undertaken this work on behalf of
the police deserves much credit. Its
experience with the two stations in ques-
ton shows that the average cost of in

about 500 a year q station.
Patrolmen ON reserve duty have to
snend much of their time in the station
houses. They do not expect elaborate
club quarters, but they ought to have
sanitary and comfortable accommodations
II Is only reasonable to think. as the
citizens committee argues: whatever In
creases the efficiency Of tho police should
result either In a diminuticn Of tho ex-
penditure or in the obtaining OF greater
value to the citizens therefrom. II such
views are correct, the amount required to
produce this outcome, even during the first
year, and certainly thereafter. would be
trifing IN comparison with tho economic
results reasonably certain to follow"
This committee having pointed the way,
the city authorities ought to do tho rest.
