The Big North Sea Battle.

The drbets of information from the last sea
engagement now show it 10 have been one of the
most important of the war. The stirring pursuit
of the German battle cruisers, with the overhaul
ing and sinking of at least of the slower units
of the feet while submarines and aircraft stood
about, makes a striking picture. However prosaic
war on land may have become, sea fighting holds
its own as one Of the most magnificent and terri
BILE of human efforts.
The result fell in with those Of the preceding
naval victories Of the war Speed Of vessel and
range Of big guns again prevailed. Such factors
as weight of metal in a broadsde or protective
armor seem TO have had no bearing on the re-
suit Given slight superiority in speed and a
slight superiority in range Of the largest guns,
q fleet can not only win but can win at
slight cost. When two fleets exactly matched
N these respects engage one another we shall
perhaps know to what extent other factors have
influence
For the first time submarines seem to have
played a considerable part in fleet manGuvres.
The German submarines apparently accomplished
nothing on the offence which is not remarkable
when we recall that the British ships fought while
travelling at speed of something like twenty
nine knots an hour 1t was as a defensive aid, in
connection with mines, that the under water craft
served to halt the British fleet and save the Ger
man cruisers from further damage.
The whole engagement gives new Importance to
the battle cruiser, craft equipped with the heav-
lest Of long range guns, yet possessing d maxi
mum of speed Our own navy is lacking in yes
sells of this type and the lesson of the North Sea
battle deserves our careful study.

The Right Way to Make Ends Meet.

Washington dispatches say that the members
OF the Cabinet alarmed at the prospect of
big Treasury deficit this year, and are talking
about resorting to heroic measures to make ends
meet. Some advocate further pruning of the
department estimates and others are talking about
raising more money by lowering the income tax
exemption S1,000-from $4,000 to $1,000 for
married persons and from SO 900 to $4,000 for the
unmarried. No one seems to have thought of
doing the most obvious thing, which is to bring
pressure on Congress to abandon various extrava-
giant legislative projects now pending.
This administration went into power pledged to
reduce national expenditure. 1t has increased the
annual appropriations by $lOO,OOO,OOO and has
passed an emergency internal revenue tax law
raising annually about $950O0,000. Yet more
taxation is talked about without the slightest
junction. Such effrontery is amazing. Why don't
the Democratic leaders cut out the pork barrel
bills? river and harbor bill carrying $4,000
600 has passed the House of Representatives and
is in process of being generously fattened in the
Senate public buildings bill is in preparation,
which may carry anything from $l2000000 to
$40 900 O00 and the administration is exertng all
its power TO drive government ship purchase bill
through the Senate, carrying an appropriation of
S4O,OOOOOO
In hard times like these such extravaganza is
preposterous. The government shipping bill
would be foolish experiment, even if the Treas
ury were full TO overlooking. It's passage cannot
help the export situation and the money put into
government freighters will be worse than wasted.
There is no reason why the river and harbor and
public buildings bills should not be omitted this
year. The Treasury would show surplus next
July if these measures should be dropped Drop
ping them and chloroforming the ship purchase
scheme would be the simplest way to put the
Treasury once more on a sound basis.

More City Help for Unemployed.

Thanks to action by the Board of Aldermen
this city is now in better shape to render emer-
gency relief to the unemployed than it has been
at any previous time this winter An appropri-
alton Of $4,000 will permit the Goth and 10Th
Regiment armories to be opened for sleeping
quarters when the expected severe weather ma
teriaizes. This is an item of much Importance in
the relief programme, for even with the unusu-
ally mild weather which has prevailed thousands
of voorhees, men have been sleeping in saloon
back rooms and out-ofthe-way places An APP
preparation for equippng school kitchens TO serve
pupils lunches will help to lift the burden from
many a struggling family while the funds given
to Park Commissioner Whittle of The Bronx will
furnish immediate work to many jobess men.
At the best there is little enough the city can do
IN the way of furnishing work and giving aid to
the victims Of business depression. Its finances
are strained and it is. limited by law from pro-
viding certain measures of aid. 1t has mani
Tested, nevertheless, in all its branches COM
mendable disposition TO do whatever 1t could TO
meet the deplorable unemployment situation. As
the winter goes on there may be other ways pre-
scented for helping If these come to light 1t is to
be hoped the aldermen will again be ready to vote
the necessary funds

A Blow TO the Beet Trust

What will the Beef Trust and the Leather
Trust do the next time they find it desirable 70
raise prces? Heretofore the contention that the
supply Of cattle was falling of always smothered
the protests of the retail dealers and the consum-
ers Now comes the Department OF Agriculture
and saws that the number of cattle is on the in
crease On January last there were 7n2'ooo
more livestock" in this country than on the same
dav of 1914 The number of beef cattle increased
3.4 per cent, an increase Of more than l'OOO'OoO
head. while mich COWS increased 2.5 per cent
This is good news. 1t may be accounted for by
falling off in shipments of beef to Europe, but
il is 10 be hoped that at least in part it indicates
nm increase in cattle raising There is no reason
why there should not be a great development OF
stock raising. not on big ranches in the West and
Southwest. but on comparatively small farms
With care and some scientific knowledge small
herds near markets can be made to pay as well
as the great herds of the West 1t is that kind
of cattle raising which will notably increase the
countrys livestock total and help to keep down
the cost of living.

A MISTAKEN CHARGE
Dr.. Dernburg Points Out an Errone-
Gus Accusation Against Germany.

To the Editor of The Tribune.
Sir: In reprinting London cable you
charged Germany with having falsified
the documents found in Belgium by
not giving the marginal note read
ing "the entry Of the English into
Belgium would take place only after
the violation of the Belgium neutral
ity by Germany"
| beg to inclose copy of a pamphlet
sent out here, where you will find
on page the original with the mar
ginal note and on page 4, in the
translation of paragraph 5, the
words inserted into the context in the
place where they belong.
Neither did the North German Ga
zette" suppress these words. 1t gave
them at the end Of the document, the
printing arrangement not allowing
them to be put on the side Of the text.
No such clause, however, is found in
document .. of 1912, in which the
English say that they would land troops
anyway, and there is nothing said
about previous violation of the Bel
GUM neutrality.

An Admirable Civil Service Commission.

BY appointing Messrs. Ordway. McKinstry
and Rice, as he has announced he will do, Gov
ernor Whitman will give to the state for the
first time since Governor Hughess administration
a Civil Service Commission in which the people
can have confidence. Mr.. Ordway needs no ere
dentials other than his work in the Civil Service
Reform Association and his standing at the bar.
Mr.. McKnstry served in the commission under
Governor Flower lie is considered a liberal Re-
publican, and was Hughes supporter. Colonel
Rice was a member Of President Cleyeland's Civil
Service Commission. He is an anti-Tammany
Democrat.
With these men there are experience, ability
and an assurance of no politics playing. The state
needs men of their stamp TO correct the injuries
70 the merit system it received under Tammany
in the last four years and TO extend 1t on the
broad lines recommended by Governor Whitman
and stipulated by the constitution. 1t is fortu-
nate in getting them.

Why the Small Education Board Succeeds

President Churchill's chief argument against
reducing the size Of the Board OF Education from
fortysix members TO nine is ingenious, but hardly
logical II is that out Of the fory-six nine or ter
real workers may come to light, whereas out Of
nine the proportion would be about the same, net
ting at most three or four. Thus the city would
really suffer.
Experience with any large body, whether it be
hoard Of education, a board Of directors or leg
islature. demonstrates that there are few mem
bers who carry the burden Of the work and re-
sponsibty, as Mr.. Churchill has pointed out The
rest are passengers-they do not even pull their
own weight in the boat But experience with smaii
committees, small boards of education and the
like has shown that no member can be passenger

MIR. Jerome and the Tax Rate.

Sir: Your editorial this morning

General for the dismissal of Jerome

rense? Are you a taxpayer? We think
not, or you would appreciate that the
way this man Jerome has bled this state

things that make our taxes what they
are. Mr.. Jerome has advertised him
self sufficiently by the 1haw case, at
