"Safety First or Drinking Chauf
feurs?" He Asks,

To the Editor Of THE TIMES
The reckless driving of an intoxicated
chauffeur recently caused the death Of A
young woman walking with a compan-
ion. One wonders how much of the
reckless driving ending in serious acCi
dents is the result of drink
1t is not necessary for a man to be
notiCably intoxicated to unfit him for
running an automobile. In factories
and shops the deadly third hour" a;
it is now called; meaning the third
hour after work begins and the third
mum number Of accidents. This is no,
the result of fatigue as that would give
the maximum at the close of the work.
ing day and before the lunch hour.
1t is the result of the glass of bee.
or drink on the way 10 work, and tha
taken with the luncheon that gets its
deadly work in three hours after it is
taken, according to recent scientific en-
periments.
Safety first requires not only that a
running an auto but that his mental
powers should not be bluntcd by even
one glass of beer.
II our streets are to become safe
places for the use of the general public
license to run automobiles must not
be granted TO those who drink even in
moderation.
But this would be taking away a
mans personal liberty you say. True.
So also is it taking away his personal
liberty not TO let HIM go about the
streets if he has smallpox. diphtheria.
or bubonC plague. So Is il taking
Naway the liberty of his innocent chill
dren when they are not allowed to at
tend school when suffering with
measles, whooping cough, or scarlet
fever. So is it taking away a mans s
personal liberty not to allow him to
sell tainted fish and meat, and to dump
his infected oysters into the river. \
mans personal liberty must always be
sacrificed when it interfercs with tho
good of the community as a whole.
We cannot have safety first as long as
men who indulge in even moderate
drinking are allowed to run automobiles
in our streets
The railroads have put the ban on
the drinking man. but their trains are
confined to known track, while auto
mobiles are likely to dash over us at
any point if the man at the wheel has
had even four of five hours previously
a limited amount of beer.

THE SALE OF MUNITIONS

If Secretary Bryan had chosen to
retort in kind to the German COM
munication about neutral sales of
war munitions to belligerents, he
might have alluded to the fact that
Germany built up its wonderful
Krupp industry by selling war ma
terials to whoever wanted to buy,
whenever they were prepared to pay.
1t needs no very long or acute mem
ory to recall that during the first
Balkan war German arms, munitions,
even officers, were widely advertised
as representing the resources of one
side in the contest. The Secretary
might have asked for data about
some war in recent time in which
Germany has refused to sell
munitions to belligerent.
But the Secretary Of State did not
indulge that sort of discussion. He
protested against the German gov
ernment assuming to make inquiries
about the relations between the
United States and Great Britain, OBJ
serving that those were not proper
for discussion at this time with a
third power; and he stood vigorously
by the proposition to which this
Government has adhered from the
beginning concerning sale of muni-
| tions.
| 1t is no affair of the United States
that Germany, by the fortunes OF
war, is cut off from the privilege of
buying munitions here. 1t would be
no affair of this country if con-
ditions were reversed and the allies
were unable to buy in our markets
and we were selling to Germany
This country, under the rule that the
world has long accepted, assumes
the right to sell to whomever will
buy; and to change that rule now, ir
the midst Of war, would be to de
prive the belligerent that control:
the sea of the advantage gained
through that control. 1t would bs
a highly unneutral act; it would bt
readjusting our whole commercial
policy in order to favor one side in I
war to which we are not a party
The United States cannot, and Mr.
Bryan makes perfectly clear that i
will not, do anything of the sort.
The State Departments note il
about as caustic as it well could b,
within the limitations imposed by ;
determination to be perfectly polit,
in these exchanges; but it is suf
ficiently caustic to suggest strongl,
that pursuance of the subject yer,
much farther might be difficult i
there is to continue strict ad
herence on both sides to the rules o
entire good form. The subject woul,
seem to be finally disposed Of so fa
at least as this country is concerned
1t is not apparent how the Berlin ad
ministratlon can gain anything b.
continuance of the exchanges; it i
quite plain that matters might b

THE CARPAThIAN BATTLE

What has happened in the Car
pathian fighting is little enough COM
pared with what will happen in the
immediate future. The armies of
the Car, in some of the bloodiest
and most determined fighting of the
war, have cleared the main passes Of
the mountain barrier of their de-
tenders. Only one-the great Uzsok
pass-remains in possession of the
Austro- German armies.
More fighting will follow to dis
lodge the defenders from this last
of their mountain strongholds. Un-
til that is achieved the Russians will
not have attained the first necessary
step in their invasion of Hungary.
The army defending the Uzsok pass
must be destroyed or cut off and
masked.
The long Slavic battle line now
holds the southern slopes of the Car
pathians about Bartfeld, Mezo-La-
borz, and Virava, but here it bends
sharply northward and crosses the
ridge of the Beskids on a long dag
onal, facing the defenders of Uzsok.
The Dukla, smaller pass, debouch-
ing into the region of Bartfeld, is in
the hands of the Car. The Lupkow
an important lane through the
mountains, just east of the Dukla
pass, is also held by the Russians
This gives the Slav generals trans
Carpathian railway through Sanok
to Peremysl. But the best transpor.
tation route is through the pass still
held by the German-Austrian allies
The meager dispatches of the past
week or ten days indicate that the
Russians are trying to crack this nut
with an advance on Munkacs, at the
edge of the Hungarian plain. Only
half way to that point they will cut
the line of the Uzsok railroad, and 6
little beyond it the highway from
Munkacs. There the army IN tn,
pass must stand a siege, cut off a.
Peremysl was from more than tn,
bare hope of relief. If the Slav!
once reach the headwaters of tn,
Ung, between Uzsok and Munkacs
their strategic victory in the terribl,
Carpathian campaign is complete
Nothing will remain but to sweep u,
Che fragments.
But assume that this triumph will
be achieved, and it will merely plac
the Russians in a strong Strategi
position for the real campaign. Ter
rible as has been the slaughter an
bitter as the fighting, the whole Car
pathian campaign is only the over
ture.
Ahead of the Slavs to the south
ward Germany and Austria have ap
parently massed every regiment the
can spare. They must save tn
plains of Hungary from a food O
Cossacks. At the same time the
must keep close watch on CracoN

THE ROOSEVELT TESTIMONY


body described recently as "senior
ex-President of the United States"
did a public service when he got
himself sued-no matter how unin-
tentionally-by a politician of ma
tional prominence and thereby secur-
ed occasion for making revelation
of what he has learned about ma
chine politics. Mr.. Roosevelt has
had opportunities to know about ma
chimes and their operation, in a de-
tail that is permitted to few men.
There are discernible, scattered
about the political landscape of this
country, the disjointed remnants of
quite few political machines that
have had the misfortune of COL
lision with the Rooseveltian ideals
and purposes. However some folks
may dislike the former President,
there is a striking unanimity in the
sentiment that he knows consider
able about politics.
Former President Roosevelt has
been telling court and jury at
Syracuse the story of New York

tions into the realm of national
affairs, with the purpose Of showing
what he means by the term "politi-
cal boss" We've all use the term
most of us doubtless with the i'm
preston that we had a pretty &C
curate notion of what it meant and
what we meant by it. But Mr..
Roosevelt has brought forward, from
his fund of experience, wealth of
illumination, of example and in
stance, which cannot but prove in
formative even to people more or
less blase in their sophistication on
the subject. New York State has
been esteemed one of the tradition.

and, by common consent, it has beer
assumed that business in one form
or another was back of the variou!

Colonel Roosevelt is telling exactl!
what a man with a lifelong politi
cal experience has learned about tn,
real inwardness Of these things.
1t is really remarkable how ac
curate has been the public's under
