Sir: In reply to the query Of Student"
as TO the number of students in Paris you
nave in your haste made slight error which
should like to correct. Your answer was:
college Of France, Paris, 1000 Now in
1872 the number Of matriculated students Of
the University Of Paris in the four faculties
OF lew. medicine, science and letters was
1876. This figure does not include the
students of the College Of France, nor OF any
of the many other institutions OF higher
learning maintained by the French govern
men, in Paris, but which are administratively
independent Of the University of Paris, such
as the School Of Mines, School OF Bridges
and Roads, Ecole Pratique des Hautes
Etudes history. philology, mathematical and
phvaico chemical sciences, sciences OF nature
and religion Ecole Normale Superieure
preparing teachers for secondary instruc-
tom. School Of Oriental Living Languages,

monotheism" -. 1867.
Bishop lie Roy who visited the Nasal in
1890. confirms this. Their God" he says, us
named 'NPai,' and is an incorpOreal being, q
spirit. According to the law given By Him
to the Nasal it is sin TO make pictures or
images OF Him. God IL the creator of the
world and all that is in it. He rules all
through His will God IS almighty omnipres-
ert. all-knowing, infinite, eternal"
Mcrker points out the remarkable parallel
ism between the religious and moral ideas
Of the Nasal and those of the Israelites and
the Babylonians. They have traditions of
the Creation, of Paradise, OF the Fall, the
Deluge etc. The practice of circumcision,
which is universal among them they refer

tradition OF ten commandments.

supposed, "Masai,' ! fear that she has not
added much to the sum of knowledge so far
as their non-rclgious state is concerned. OF
course. if she did not mean the Nasal" the
above criticism fails.
But if there be tribe Of Mast | will

ligion of some kind. | think | am correct
in saying that up to the present time no

Religion Of an African Tribe.

To the Editor Of The Tribune
Sir: In interview published in your
paper to-day Lady Mackenzie speaks OF an
African tribe, the Mast" as being altogether
without religion.

Merker, who was "Hauptmann und Kom-
pagniechef in der Kaiser Schutztruppe" in
German East Africa, spent many years
among the Nasal and published a monograph

The Supremacy Of the Right.
Mount Vernon, y. Y, May 6, 1915.

To the Editor of The Tribune
Sir: As boys we we're taught the supremacy
of the right 1t pays to do right. Only
righteousness succeeds
Wrong is wrong, damage done;
And however much is won
The end is loss and shame.
These are the teachings that have natu
rally grown into from my youth. Who will
say that my teaching was wrong? If my
teaching was correct if only righteousness
has a permanent success, how can German
and Austrian war lords expect to succeed?
In your valuable paper of yesterday read
of Austrian atrocities. | was shocked Ger
man atrocities have aroused the English
speaking world. They cast aside divine and
human laws and expect success. They rot
and expect Him who said: Thou shalt not
steal" TO help them, to be on their side, &c
give them success They murder on land and
sea and expect Him VINE said: Thou shalt
not kill" TO help them, to be on their side, tC
give them success.
They are deluded. The Divine cannot g.
against His commands. Inc Divine cannot be
the helper of robbers and murderers. The
Divine must be against them, and they must
fail As Bible student, | assert that all the
teachings Of that sacred book declare that the
Divine is only found on the side Of righteous
ness. The transgressors of His laws must
fail. as Saul failed and Absalom failed.
Though their armies may be strong,
Yet their principles wrong:
They must fail, they must fail.

NoveIis,s' License.

The wa of poets with the young
moon is notorious. They keep the lovely,
slender silver crescent up till all hours Of
the night to glimpse sympathetically down
upon young lovers. 1t is romantic, but
it is not in accordance with the regime of
wise Mother Nature, who knows that
young things should be in bed early in
order to grow So she allows the infant
moon to take just one little peep at the
earth about the time young lovers begin
to think of dinncr-for even young lovers
dinc-and then packs it off to sleep, So
that it may grow into a hardened, cynical
full moon to which young love is an old
story. as old as the CHASTITY sight of battle
fields
This time. however, it is a novelist,
Elizabeth Jordan, who is called to account
for thus ill-treating the infant moon in
her novel MAY VERSIONS Career Still,
since poetic license is not only an eX-
PLANTATION but recognized excuse, why
should not Miss Jordan plead noveliSts
license? She has, indeed, plenty Of Prec
edent in other matters than that Of the
child labor of the orb Of night. There is,
for instance. Mr.. SQuecrs. who set one OF
his victims at Dotheboy's Hall to weed the
garden. although the pump was frozen,
The feats which our novelists Of ad-
venture aScrbe to fiery steeds are no less
regardless of the limitations Of nature,
nor should we forget in this connection
the French authors hero who walked
nervously up and down reading a letter
with his hands clasped behind him. And
there is that compatriot Of his who trans
lated one of Cooper's tales many years
ago. Cooper said that his hero tied his
horse TO a locust; the translator eX-
planned in a footnote that in America
locusts grew TO such great size that they
were often stuffed and set up at the doors
Of our country dwellings. He, however,
was only true to the worst traditions of
his trade.
The seamanship of some Of our nOvelists
is no less weird than is their knowledge
of the ways of Mother Nature; so is their
conception of the duelling code. And,
since we are about it, mention may per
haps be made here of the novelist turned
dramatist who began a new scene IN his
first play with the stage direction, Enter
William. who has just drunk cup Of
tea"
As for the young moon, it will continue
to 90 to bed as per its immemorial sched-
ule, but it will also continue to be forced
to work at night for novelists and poets.
1t really does not matter, for young lovers
will never miss it; and romantic readers
like to have it present even when it "ain't."

A month ago there was a panic in England
at the prospect of total prohibition. A lit
tie later the panic had subsidized, but there
were grave apprehensions that the sale OF
spirits would be stopped This gave way be-
fore the realization of Mr. Lloyd Georges
scheme for increased duties on spirits, wines
and beers. Now the duties on wines and
beers are withdrawn. the government has
come to the conclusion that most mischief
is done by spirits and all efforts in future
will be directed to the suppression Of raw,
cheap spirits Of fiery quality" So the
great temperance reform comes to this, that
in future Englishmen must drink good whis-

be more proftably planted in food
crops than in cotton. Sweet pota-
toes and Irish potatoes, wheat, oats,
corn, and all kinds of fruits may be
grown here, but there is no market;
and this may be caused, az he says,
by the fact that the individual farm
is too small a unit. The producers
on the farms need real cooperation
in finding markets for all these pro-
ducts. 1t is not that the people do
not want to diversity on money
crops, but the trouble is that they
cannot diversity on these crops,
because it takes money to educate
children, build homes, build school
houses, pay the preacher and have
the modern conveniences Of home
life, and this is why cotton is king
in the south and the farmers the
subjects.
If the Secretary shall be able to
devise some means by which the far
mers of the South may learn to CO.
operate and find markets for other
money crops, and shall teach them
to help themselves, and not look
to the government and the politi-
clans for succor, he will have done
something substantial for the peo-
pie. But when the market is open
ed for potatoes, 1.-The trouble is, that
we shall have a potato candidate
for every Office in the county, and
the same will be true with tomatoes,
and peaches, and black-berries. The
people of the farms want most to
learn that farming is a business, and
that it should be carried on in a
business way. If n man a come
into a community and collect the
products of a single kind there and
show the people how to find a mar
ket for it, the lesson will have been
learned. 1t is not that the people
will not learn, but that they need a
teacher. 1t is here that every
community needs a leader.

THE FERTILIZER SITUATION.

1t appears certain that CONNER
cial fertilizers will be 50 high next
year that farmers will be unable to
plant the usual amount of cotton,
even if they desire to do so. The
prices this year should have taught
them the lesson that a small crop of
cotton is the salvation of the South
from a financial standpoint. But
whether they desire to further cur
tail or not, they must do so next
year. Especially is this true with
regard to farmers whose lands de-
mand a large amount of potash in
order to produce cotton.
Such being the case the farmers
should begin to prepare lands for
planting corn. And while it is a
little late to do so, they should plant
wheat and oats very largely, else
many acres of land will lie idle.
But the farmers will not lose any
thing from the planting Of corn and
small grains. When the difference
in labor and fertilizers is accounted
for, the yield of corn per acre
should pay almost as much as the
yield of cotton. And there should
be a ready market for corn and
small grains in view of the fact that
some twenty-five millions of dollars
worth of these products are annually
shipped into South Carolina.
In the meantime farmers may
secure a certain amount of potash
for themselves by raking up pine
straw and oak leaves and making
compost. Both the straw and
leaves furnish a considerable amount
Of potash. A dollar saved in this
way is a dollar made.
