LOSSES IN THE WAR
They Make Figures for Other Wars
Look insignificant.


To-day IS the centenary OF the Datue Of
Waterloo and at any other time than this the
tactics and strategy Of Waterloo would have
nroyidcd endless material for popular discus
sion. As a military event, what is happening
now makes Waterloo look very small. There
were fewer than $4,000 British troops at Wa
terloo, and the casualties. though they made
Wellington weep, did not reach 1000. AT
Neuve Chapelle. though it was a second-rate
battle as the size OF battles in this war goes,
va lost twice a. many. The total number Of
.Rr,,;sb lives lost IN action during the whole
Of the Crimean War was under 5000, and,
without being too precise in our figures, the
first six weeks Of the Gallipoli campaign must
easily have topped that l. -1ber.
We have never seen estimate Of our

Exercising the Demon.

Mr.. Hobson and all the good people who
are irving so earnestly to de-alcoholize the
nation might save themselves an infinite
superiority of pains if instead Of devoting
their minds entirely TO the reform OF con-
sumers they would pay a little attention
70 the reform of the thing consumed. It
is the more wonderful that Mr.. Hobson
has not set an example in this respect be-
cause on all occasions he has exhibited a
peculiarly personal hatred Of alcohol.
II is true that other reformers before
him have talked Of rum as a thief, an
enemy, a demon, and so forth, but only IN
a rhetorical and more or less perfunctory
way. For the rest, they have been con-
tent TO use up their eloquence in deecrib-
ing the frightful consequences Of drinking
and have shown little or no spite toward
drink itself Mr.. Hobson. on the other
hand, is obviously in earnest when he de-
nounces it and calls it names. No other
reformer has ever shown so real detes-
tation for the inanimate thing or spoken
with such contempt and scorn Of the very
process of fermentation. No other re-
former has attacked so scathingly the
lowest form Of life known" or betrayed so
wholesome a horror Of "the loathsome ex.
erection Of a living organism
Why is il, then that he does not attack
the wretched thing instead Of attempting
TO coerce It's willing victims? Instead Of
de-alcoholizing the drinkers why not deal
coholizc the drinks? This is what British
patriot, a Fellow Of the Chemical Society,
Mr.. o. Overlook, has lately undertaken TO
do, and he offers the use Of his process
free Of all charge 10 the government during
the period Of the war. By the utilization
Of the waste carbon dioxide gas ordinary

ION BASTILE DAY"
A Confession the English Speaking
Peoples Owe to the French.
To the Editor Of The Tribune

To the Editor of The Tribune.
Sir: Again | feel that | must express my
deepest appreciation, as an American for
your editorial ION Bastle Day" From many
years Of intimate study OF Europe's history
had long since arrived at the conclusions
as to the splendid Offices Of France for the
higher ideals Of mankind which you voice so
nobly in this superb editorial. But never
Lad expected to see in en- American journal
such a tribute as this you render to the
French nation, lofty in its dignity and pro-
foundly true.
For you have expressed the historic truth
about the aroic stands Of France for the
salvation of our world from the triumph OF
barbarism-with all it means of terror and
cost 70 US all-to-day as in the past. And you
have made the confession the English speak
ing peoples owe to the French with mag
nifcent generosity that is beyond all praise
simply because it is above it.
would that every American could intel
lectually receive this editorial ION Basti!e

Stand By the President!

Al tho present moment a deliberate and
fsrreaching effort Is being made to coerce
the President Of the United States IN the
discharge Of his official duties by the use OF
political intrigue.
Thanks to Mr.. Bryan the Democratic
marty has been divided, and the prospect
Of increasing division is used to emphasize
the peril for Mr.. Wilson in the future Il
bs continues to defend American rights
and interest.
To give point to this method German
propagandist journals are already print
inc fluctuations Of the loss Of Democratic
votes incident to Mr.. Wilson's performance
% his dutv. This is an impudent and IN
tolerobIe assertion of the doctrine that the
President of the United States must think
~ the votes Of those frankly devoted to
open interests when national honor and
national interest are at stake.
In this situation there is just one thing
for Republicans to do. Their support CT d
President defending American lives ana
rights must be complete and untalterihg'
American Republicans must replace Ger
man Democrats in the national alignment
The President must know and feel that at
cha waters edge all questions Of partisan
politics end.
T. would be better for the Republican
nartv TO indorse Woodrow Wilson in 1916
than to permit the principle to be estaO-
rebed that to defend American interests
is to commit political suicide
Let no American, let no Republican be
deceived by the farreaching and indus
trious manipulation now in progress Il
many Republicans believe that the FreS'
dent is censurable for the moderation o.
his policy, they should not play into Ger
man hands now by Withholding support
when Mr.. Wilson is being assailed for wha'
he has done.
In the moment of national peril German
agents and intrigues divided the Liberia
party in Great Britain and threw the
whole administration into confusion. The
same thing has been attempted here. lr
England the Conservatives saved the day
by sacrificing political interest to nauona
welfare. Republicans in this country car
do no less.
To support President Wilson IN his de
fence of American lives and liberties Il
not merely a patriotic duty, it is pecu
larly the duty Of the Republican party II
Sew of It's history and its pretensions.

Not Very Reassuring.

The German Government has expressed
regret for the torpedo attack on the
Nebraskan and offered to make repara-
ton for the disablement of that vessel.
But the German note, though confirming
the decision of the Berlin government to
observe international law so far as neu-
trial vessels are concerned, cannot but ag-
qravate the unsettled issue between this
country and Germany raised by the law
less destruction Of unarmed enemy mer-
chautmca on which Americans happen to
be passengers.
The latest note from Berlin coolly as
sumes that the German submarine COM
mander would have been within his rights
lin torpcdoing the Nebraskan without
warning if the latter had been what he
really supposed her to bean enemy mer-
chairman. So far as concerns the pro-
test which this government has made
against the Lusitania massacre-the pro-
test on which the whole future Of our rela-
tons with Germany hinges-Berlin is as
unyieldng as ever. That is the vital and
most unpleasant fact rubbed in by the
Nebraskan communication, which, while it
comedies one right which we have claimed,
clearly challenges another right which we
have undertaken to assert and enforce as
a duty which we owe to our own interest
and dignity and to the causes of humanity
and civilization.
So far as reparation for the attack on
the Nebraskan goes, that became unavoid-
able as soon as German responsibility for
liz was established Even before Presi-
dent Wilson wrote the first Lusitania
note Germany formally withdrew the
threat to neutral shipping conveyed in the
Admiralty's war zone proclamation of
February 4, 1915. In the memorandum
accompanying the "war zone" order the
German Government said:
Their attention that of neutrals is FUR
thermore called 70 the fact that It is Of
urgency 20 recommend 20 their own vessels TO
steer clear OF these waters those within the
war zone"l. II is true that the German
rayy has orders to abstain from all violence
against neutral vessels recognizable rs such I;
but in view Of the hazards Of war and Of the
misuse Of the neutral flags ordered by the
British Government it will not always b,
possible 70 prevent a neutral vessel from be
coming the victim Of an attack intended to
be directed against "A vessel Of the enemy.
Neutral nations were not inundated
by that lawless threat. Their vessels con-
tinued 70 traverse the "war zone" as they
were at perfect liberty TO do, subject only
10 the exercise by Germany Of the right
Of visitation and search. After the Amer
lean steamer Gulfight was torpe1oed
without warning the government at Berlin
saw that il could not make even pre-
tence Of defending such action. 1t there
fore acknowledged TO the United States
and 10 all other neutral nations its obli-
cation 10 refrain from attacking without
notice and proper investigation any YES
sci flying neutral flag.
There Is no longer an issue between the
United States and Germany on this point.

Guard the Judges from Cranks

To the Editor Of The Tribune.
Sir: In view Of the number of cranks
-unning amuck during the last year, IL be-
hoo, es those in authority 10 to 1t that our
public officials and also our public buildings
should be carefully guarded. At the present
time one may venture the question, Are our
criminal court judges in the General SEES
sions and police courts amply and carefully
guarded against any unpleasant incident, or
the least outbreak, riot an attempt to free
a prisoner there arraigned?
'Tis true in many respects that everything
is all right until something happens, but II is
also true that "an ounce of prevention IS
worth pound of cure"
