Discusses Traffic Problem.
To the Editor Of The Times:
read your article, pertaining 10
traffic problems, in last nights
Times with considerable interest,
and / believe that you have. I'M
consciously. done some little injus'
tice TO Police Commissioners Giles
pie. am not seeking to criticize
your editorial in any sense. but
believe that you will agree with me
after consideration that Mr.. Giles
pie Is doing all in his power 10 re-
Hcve this condition. You realize,
OF course, that all available traffic
men have been appointed by Mr..
Gillespie for the congested section
OF Detroit. and IN making the allot'
ment II was impossible TO detail
men for the outlying districts OF
the city. TO properly cover and
take care OF this problem II would
require the appointment OF at least
500 special tranlc men. at an add
tional expense TO the taxpayers OF
Detroit. and this would be prohib-
tied at this time.
Police Commissioner Gillespie at
a recent smoker given by the VOL.
VERNE Automobile club. at which one
Of your representatives was pres
ent, made a proposition to the d.
rectors and members OF the club
that he would be glad TO appoint as
many members as cared to enlist
AS special deputies IN reporting each
day tn the police depar'ment, all
violations OF traffic ordinances. by
furnishing the number OF the license
OF the offender. am pleased TO
state that the club has received
signed cards from 500 members. who
have already agreed to act in the
capacity OF special deputies, and
these names are now being handed
to Commissioner Gillespie who
promises that with this co-opera-
ton he will take prompt and vigor.
Gus action. against any offenders
In this city. This, believe. will
solve the traffic problem and the
club will appreciate the hearty co
operation Of the press and public
In this great work.
In order to place Commissioners
Gillespie in proper light before
your readers, would appreciate
having you publish this letter.
Very truly yours,
Detroiter Motor Car Co,

WAR ON THE CIGARETTE
Nv William A. Mekeever, Professor and Head OF
Department Of Child Welfare IN the
University Of Kansas


Out here in Kansas where every state officer
In total abstainer from alcohol where practical
ly all county and city officers are IN the same
class, where the liquor traffic is confined 10
few transient toughs and their local consorts
where prohibition Is as well established an In
stitution as the Church-out here in Kansas we
are becoming convinced that the fight on John
Barleycorn must lead ultimately TO conflict
with the duke of Nicotine. One or the biggest
and most craven trusts ever organized In Amer
lea Is nov carrying a countrywide campaign
to enthral the American boy in the habit of ciga-
rette-smOkng
NV correspondence comes from all parts OF
the United States. Also. during the course Of
my lecture trips, visit practically every state
in the Union. All this brings me unmstakable
evidence that cigarette-smoking Is increasing
alarmingly among growing youths and the young
er men. OF several points we may be certain:
That the boys and youths who take up the use
of tobacco will, a rule smoke and inhale ciga-
rettes; that these will thus take positive step
toward the OF alcohol. toward sexual per
version and a tendency to be sterile. sexually;
that ninety per cent Of these youths, when they
become men, will be either Indifferent or op-
posed 10 us in night against alcohol.
Big standard magazines which five years ago
would have been offended at the suggestion of
their accepting cigarette advertisements are now
receiving thousands OF dollars per issue for such
patronage. They give as an excuse The state
ment that they need the money Even THE Out
look" dear old Dr. Abbotts magazine, has gone
over to the enemy OF the boy and his perplexed
mother-for the sake OF the profits.
We are trying desperately here In Kansas to
keep the cigarette blight out OF the state Many
Of the towns and communities have thus far kept

good friends of prohibition help US? Mark again
my words: successful fight against alcohol
must mean, sooner later, desperate battle
against the cigarette-the greatest evil that ever
attacked the heart of the American boy.

No CONSUMPTION Fellowship
bV On. FHNNN OVNN"
Copyright. 1915. by Frank Crane)

There are many who believe in fight
ing for their country, going forth to kill
people of another country in case war Is
declared by their fatherland.
These people are conscientious, brave
patriotism, which is far nobler than sell
fishness or a slavish spirit.
They are talking pretty loud right now
in the United States. They urge thorough
military preparedness, from drilling
battle fleet and large army.
There are others, however.
There are people just as conscientious,
in war, or in getting ready for it.
They will refuse under any circum.
stances to take up arms to slaughter
their fellow men. They deny the right
of the nation to demand this of them.
These persons are as patriotic as the
first named class, only they are governed
by passion that is above patriotism.
They feel that their first duty is to
humanity When nation-sentiment con-
flicts with humanity-sentiment the latter
has the right of way.
Many of them are led to this convic-
Followers of Christ they find in Him no
sanction of the doctrine of righteousness
by force.
Others. not religious, arrive at the
same conclusions by reason. They read
history and see that armies have de-
stroyed all states that fostered them.
They read the newspapers and per.
ceive that military preparedness is ruin
ing Germany, France, Russia, England.
Italy. Turkey, and the Balkan govern
ments. The outcome is an enormous
death toll of their fittest youth, destruc-
ton of their property, the estoppel Of all
advance in science, in the arts and in
social conditions.
Just by getting ready for defense the
European states have plunged themselves
into war of stupid. unreasoning
hates, war without an intelligent cause
and with no probable beneficial outcome.
People are asking themselves why,
when the world for 5000 years has tried
military force and found it only de-
structive-why it is not time to try
some other way.
These people are not cranks, dreamers
or base-souled slaves. They are those
who are trying to substitute a higher
passion, humanity, for lower, patriot
ism.
They are the progressives, the adj
vance guard of human progress.
They are not confined to America.
There are plenty of them in Europe.
There is in England mo Conscrip-
ton Fellowship" composed Of large
body Of Englishmen who are willing to
do anything for their country except to
kill. In recent manifesto they declare:
1--WE yield to no one in our admiration
of the self-sacrifice. the courage, and
the unhagging devotion Of those of our
fellow-countrymen who have felt it their
duty to take up arms. Nevertheless, we
cannot undertake the same form of SER
vice: our conviction is solemn and unal-
terable. We gladly admit-we would
even extend-the right of the commun-
ity TO impose duties upon it's members
for the common good, but we deny the
right of any government to make the
slaughter Of our fellows bounden
duty"
do not say these men are right. But
| do say they are sincere, they ring true
and they are quite as ready to die for
humanity as others are to die for their
afvxy
