hadn't been able to handle Harrison
as mayor didn't count much with the
public. 1t may cut more figure now
that Harrison is out of the way. But
you never can tell. The people as
a rule don't see the kick when it's
coming. They don't get mad until
they have felt it. That's why they
generally start fighting the corpora
tons when the fight is over and they
are licked.
Harrison has been a better mayor
than he viii probably be given credit
for, I'm the important particular that
he hasn't been owned and bossed by
the public utilities. He hasn't even
been, accused Of being dishonest, But
constant dropping wears away
stone, and a man may be in office
long enough to feel the combined
weight of all the little kicks, COM
plants and charges, which start a
feeling that it's time for change.
Then this is a great year for reac-
tionaries. Business depression, the
war, unemployment and hard times
generally have made most people
sore and 'disgTuntled. They felt like
taking a kick at somebody who was
in. They were in no mood for re-
form. They don't even feel much like
progressing, and evidently don't feel
that much can happen that is worse
than what has already happened.
When the people get to feeling that
way there's no reasoning with them.
They've simply got to get it out of
their system. And most Of them were
thinking harder about what they
thought Harrison had done, to them
than what Sullivan might do to them.
But this is supposed to be a democ-
racY and the people. did what they
had a, perfect right to do. They vot-
ed as they darned pleased and are
entitled to get what they voted for.

Child-faces lift to the light;
And child-feet run in our gardens, free

We praise Thee, Lord, for the sun and

And all our fields increase.
But ne hare seen fair homes ldid waste
And held your peace!

Ingratitude to England.

To the Editor of The Tribune.
Sir; There was a time when the American
people were not too proud to fight and de-
fend the lives of their own countrymen
There was a time when the great American
people did not resort to theoretical threats
and lofty but empty notes begging any
foreign power to respect them and to spare
their citizens. Yet, to the regret Of this
noble and brave Republic, the foreign policy
of the present administration is the weakest
in the history Of the country.
In the face of the most gigantic war the
world has ever seen a few of our greedy
dolar-mad spectators have raised their
voices through the administration, indig-
nantly protesting to England against mold
ing some of our ships. and thus naturally
depriving these patriotic money lords Of
more coin for their treasures. Technically
their claims are legal and just, but actually
they are very cruel and unfair, inasmuch
as England is fighting for her very exis-
tence and for the establishment of peace
full. democratic and civilized Europe.
What is our grievance against England as
compared with our grievance against Ger
many? What offence has England commit
ted against us in comparison with the out
RACES Germany has perpe -ated against US
and all civilized nations? England Is accused
Of holding some few of our ships, while
Germany is stained with the blood Of our
men. women and children, and even without
An apology or disavowal. German acts Of
treachery in this country their threats,
their conspiraces TO blow up our industries
and shops, their falsehoods and dishonesty
directed against the land they swore
allegiance TO, In the face OF TINS govern
ment's inability or unwili 1sness to punish
them q do not know which, make every
true and loyal American bow his head with
shame and disgust. SALEM MUSLEh'

AN UNTHINKABLE PEACE
Prussia Has Disposed Of the Only
Chance of Early Negotiations.

To the Editor of The Tribune
Sir: There is an important leader on the
Great War in The Tribune Of October %,
England's greatest interest in which can be
summed up in two of its paragraphs. You
write:
what Americans cannot now know is
whether the spirit that ruled in Washington
in 1864 dominates in London, Paris and
Petrograd in 1915 1t was always
possible that the North might lose courage,
heart, will-power and abandon the struggle.
1t is equally possible that one or all the
Allies may fail now. But this remains the
single chance of German success"
But it is Prussia herself that has utterly
deprived herself of that "single chance"
When we in England started upon the af-
fair "War" was by tradition with US thing
of glory and OF self-sacrfce. Nations and
the world we said, were better for it, Out of
even the poorer clays there was formed in
that crucible a chivalrous idealism and the
higher patriotism. Thus peace with gen
erous foe was easy for victor and vanquished
and left no sting Why after 1863 did you
continue 70 hammer the South! The Con-
federacy never poisoned your water wells,
nor "gassed" your soldiers till they spat out
their lungs; nor raped your nuns, nor muir
dered your hospital nurses the while those
nurses were engaged in tending the Con-
federate wounded. Nor did the Confederacy
murder our women and children on your
peaceful merchant ships the high seas
And when an enemy, because of these In
fsmies leaves four great European nations Ut
terly determined that any war whatever il
preferable to any peace whatever, short OF
the unconditional surrender Of Prussia, you
can appreciate why our mood in London,
Paris and Petrograd may be less heroic than
was "the spirit in Washington in 1854" but
must be and will remain infinitely more de-
termined The South fought the ideologues
of the North and lost, and | have never met
Southerner who, looking back, does not
rejoice for the defeat. But think Of what We
are fighting-the theology of psychopaths and
thugs Can we afford TO lose? Can the
world afford that 1Oe should lose?
The end is clear, but is not near. Lord
Kitchener said last week that in two years
the British Empire will have more trained
soldiers with the colors than Germany. Not
much later than that peace will be agreed
After that between our empire and Germany
there is likely to ensue century Of peace
but certainly Of entire non-intercourse, COM
mercial, social, political.
In the mean time, the Irish leader said
finely in the House of Commons last week
any peace proposals dishonor equally our
dead and our living.

If the Dead Could Speak.
, the Editor of The Tribune.

To the Editor of The Tribune.
Sir: We seem to be in the same condition
as the North was before Sumter-unpre
pared II looks now as if il were necessary
to have several more Lusitanias-as well as
TO be actually attacked on sea and land
before we wake up. 1t is no uncommon
thing to hear people say, "Wait until we
are attacked, or there are a few thousand
German spies, factory burnings, etc. We
can do as we did in '6l-get an army ready
at moments notice"
People who say this forget that waiting
al that crisis cost many thousands of lives
before a gun was fired. II may be that,
learning nothing from such a bitter expert
ence, we really need several more Lustanias,
the burning Of a few more war munition
establishments and ten thousand German
spies before we get ready to act like a brave
and loyal people. Il looks so now.
Why not print all of your editorials for
distribution? Thousands could get them
where only a comparative few see them
now. You will never be forgotten for these
needed comforts 20 I'll Of those who think
as you do. bat cannot write you have done.
Thousands of insuted souls, by the conduct
of a bloodless administration, will forever
thank you for the editorial on "A Second
Lusitania."
Perhaps it's good thing that the dead
cannot make themselves heard, or We might
hear from the dust Of the soldiers who died
that we might have peace, and who probably
expected that those who lived after them
would be ready at any time to defend Amer-
can dignity and honor. Did they dream that
we should become a nation to be despised
and sneered at as we are now b. all peoples
friends as we'll as enemies?

How About the Subway Exits?

To the Editor of The Tribune.
Sir: | have read with considerable inter
est the numerous articles in your editorial
pages Of late regarding the unusual atten-
ton property owners are giving to factory
equipments in order to prevent duplication
of the recent Brooklyn fire, and ] wish 10
ask if you know if any one has attended 10
the duty of equipping the subway with more
exits to prevent n repetition Of that terrioie
subway fire at Fifty-third Street on Janu-
airy Of last winter.
The suffering that existed under GROUND
that hour was many times greater than tna'
experienced by the dead on board the ships
that have been torpedoed this last year. !
have repeatedly looked for some Improvement
in the subway that would. help out sueh
situation, but up to to-day, 10 the best o.
my investigation from the trains, can ma
only one exit available between Forty-seconu
and l57th Streets. and this is fortunately the
one that made il possible for some two nun
dred or more lives 20 be saved last winter

Photography, of course is playing an ever
increasing part in aerial reconnaissance. 1t
is now one of the prime means of ascertain
ing the accuracy with which bomb dropping
is attended. Contrary TO the general idea,
when a place is to be bombed the process
does not consist merely of few plucky air.

hood and taking big risks to try to get in a
lucky shot before returning. The fire that
follows the dropping of each bomb is pho

A Thanksgiving Sermon.
Dedicated to the President.)

To the Editor Of The Tribune.
Sir: The text is the story in the tenth
chapter of st. Luke's Gospel of man who
"fell among thieves, which stripped him OF
his raiment, and wounded him, and departed
leaving him half dead" and one came who
Cooked on him and passed by on the other
side"
It can be assumed, since this is his whole
record, that the passerby felicitated himself
only in silence upon the discretion which led
him to avoid the dangerous and disagreeable
scene of strife.
To-day this safe and sane type does not
hide in shamed silence the timidity or the
callous indifference to nakedness, wounds and
death which prevented him from acting the
part Of "neighbor 10 him that fell among the
thieves" but he loudly summons his friends
20 rejoice and give thanks with him for the
immunity secured by "neutrality"l

1.-THE writer of the foregoing communi-
cation was for several years a member of
The Tribune staff. For the utter trust
worthiness of any statement made by Mr..
Gleason, this newspaper is willing to vouch.
For a year Mr.. Gleason was at the front
caring for the Belgian wounded. He
speaks with full knowledge and complete
authority and The Tribune is glad to be
able to submit to its readers first-hand,
eyewitness account of atrocities written
by an American. It calls attention again
to the fact, cited by Mr.. Gleason, that his
testimony is included in the Bryce Report,
which should give Americans new insight
into the value of this document.-Ed.1

Moslems Under Constitutional Gov

CLord Cronlcr in The SPECTATOR
The Young Turkish movement, in spite OF
the fair hopes which it excited, and III spite
of the good intentions which enabled Sir
Edwin Pears to record that, in its initial
stages, it created "the best government which
Turkey has ever had" was from the first
foredoomed to failure. The country was not
prepared to assimilate such drastic changes
as were effected The idea Of constitutional
government could not be grasped % the
mass of the population. What did the con-
stitution mean? WAS it person? Was II
a new caliph?" The soldier interpreted the
word "liberty" as according him the right to
"obey or disobey as he liked" Such is the
testimony of Sir Edwin Pears. That Of Miss
Durham, who was staying in an Albanian vii
lage when the constitution was proclaimed,
is no less decisive. "All asked if the news
had not come when they were to begin ex-
pelling the Giaours. Constitution was not
going to tolerate Giaours any more; tho land
was to be swept clean of them. They were
only waiting orders to kill the lot, and
hoped 1t would be soon. That was what the
new rule was made for"
Moslem patriots in whatsoever part Of the
world they may reside, will do well, instead
of aiming at the immediate achievement OF
an Unreliable ideal, TO recognize that, by
doing so, they are certain to bring abou: a
reaction. and that their co-religionists will
be both wiser and more patriotic If, before
endeavoring to introduce full measure OF
liberal reform, they will submit TO the ne
