The Plague Of Croton Bugs.

To the Editor of The Tribune
Sir: Now that summer is approaching there
recurs to the New York householder the
great problem Of the Croton waterbug. Ir
the neighborhood OF Sixtieth Street anC
Madison Avenue the Croton bugs are so nu
merous in the summer when they take tc
flying as well as crawling) as to render
futile the isolated attempts Of householders
20 eXterminate them.
Last summer, in crossing the street tC
post letter ! encountered twenty-four
crawling over the car tracks. A workman al
my corner. who was at work in a manhole
brought up, as was passing, two paifus OF
big Croton bugs Upon my exclamation OF
disgust, he said: That's nothing, lady they
are down there by the millions" Powders
and exterminators applied to cracks and cor
ners Of ones house have little effect when
The city pipes are alive with this pest
Drastic measures should be taken by the

LIQUOR AND PATRIOTISM
Showing Why Prohibition, Though
Futile, Must Be Resisted.
Editor Of The Tribune.

To the Editor Of The Tribune.
Sir: Your editorial in to-day's Issue under
the caption prohibition and the Beverage
Trade" raises a very pertinent question In
| its closing paragraph: "Why those who are
concerned in the business of making or dis
/ tributing alcoholic beverages should take the
pains to resist the prevailing humor Of de-
vising means to check their trade" II pro
hibition does not prohibit"
/ The answer to this question can in all prob
ability be brought home to you most convinc-
/ ingly through the citation of The Tribune's
recent legal tussle before the Supreme Court,
wherein you took the pains Expensive ones)
to resisting the prevailing humor" Of the par
tisan politicians who devised means to check
your trade Of collecting and distributing news.
Why did you resist? Was it because you
did not want your trade regulated by arbi-
trary powers? With what motives would
you resist an organized campaign of party
composed Of old maids, notoriety seekers,
designing politicians, demagogues and Secre-
tary of State vino were bent upon having
legislation enacted whereby it would be a
grave offence to print any news pertaining
to crime, wars, prizefghts. divorces, scandals
and accidents, or anything whatsoever that
could be termed dad news" arguing that
| it had tendency to depress the mind of the
average newspaper reader, and even going so
| far as to claim it influenced / per cent of
our present population to participate in these
acts so Unexpectedly as to cause misery In
the homes" Increased crime" and all the
rest Of the stock in trade phrases?
Your answer TO this might suggest an anal
ogous answer on the part of those engaged
/ in the business of making distributing
alcoholic beverages" and possibly it might
be of great assistance to them in their efforts
to conduct their business along the lines of
any other decent and respectable trade, with
out causing so much degradation to the many
customers. The denial of this right often ac-
centuates many motives in the breasts of the
true American, even "the motive of patriot

Columbia and Football.

Columbia's authorities are seeking to
regulate the outdoor play of the students,
that it may remain the sport of the ma
ioritv and not degenerate into a serious
business for q small number Of specialists.
1t is the first time a great institution has
tried regulation rather than prohibition
in this field, has, in fact, sought to utilize
the advantages of college athletics while
eliminating their Disadvantages. The ex-
pertinent should prove intensely interest
ing to athletes and educators.
The restoration Of football, with certain
restrictions, is only a part Of the pro-
gramme, whose basic aim is to make of
college sport in no case a spectacle given
by the few for the many, but always a
truly representative athletic activity.
Sport for sports sake" is the motto, but,
unlike the corresponding "art for arts
sake" of another sphere, it is quantity
rather than quality which is sought. Thus
the faculty committee in reinstating foot
ball for a trial period Of five years has
warned the student body that it must
show the kind of interest in the game
which makes players, not spectators.
President Eliot of Harvard had the same
point in mind when he deprecated the
building of the huge stadium on Soldiers
Field and favored the abolition of the
great intercollegiate contests. Such things
he argued, had too strong a tendency tc
confne the sport to specialists and to dis
courage the average youth from attempt
ing it, a condition highly injurious to all
The Tribune has lately criticised the
, Columbia committee for permitting a re
turn Of football only to put it under pro
baton. 1t recognizes, however, the valiC
objection to the game as it exists in othel
universities, where the majority of stu
dents find it too rough except to watch
If probation will deplete the cheering sec
tons in favor of the "subs' " benches, Their,
can be no quarrel with it. Anything t,
hasten the day when college students vii
\ consider that the football leadership be
longs TO the college which counts tn,
greatest percentage of its undergraduates
as players Of the fine, manly game.

A Warning from England.

To the Editor of The Tribune.
Sir: ! often see quoted the opinions Of the
best American papers as to the war, and hone
you may find room for a word from a very
ordinary Englishman like me and think you
will. unless you are too Germanophle
Did it ever occur to your readers that Ger

are Germans. They will observe their sworn

and that only for convenience And '..'
number Of these men are trained soldiers
Any one can see that the sinking Of the Will
lam P. Frye and the murder by German
pirates of your Mr.. Thrasher would have ed
to stern steps against Germany by you only
that you must now think twice about it.
The United States government has been
plainly told what they must think or face the
possibility Of civil war, and when you reflect
that numbers of these Germans already are
occupying control in your navy and army It
is a very real danger. Yet If we don't beat
Germany, Americas turn will come! And
when we have done, this thing will be root
Of bitterness for years. to US, unless we take
such measures that there will be no Ger

Growth of the British Army.

Though the leader of the Opposition is
abundantly justified in expressing be-
wilderment at the contradictory statements
given out of late by several members of
the British government, there is no reason
whatever to doubt the accuracy Of the an
nouncement made by the Chancellor of the
EXchequer about the present state of the
British army. The information he gave
appears to have been refused only few
hours before by representative of the
War Office, yet when Mr.. Lloyd George
spoke he made it plain enough that he
had consulted Lord Kitchener beforehand.
It is said that the figures he made pub
lie have been a cause Of great surprise"
in England, where it was commonly
thought that only half the number had
been sent abroad. 1t has been intimated,
too, that there is tendency in some quar-
ters to overestimate the number of men
under arms, since Mr.. Lloyd George spoke
somewhat indefinitely of divisions. How
ever that may be, it seems certain that
the number is six times greater than that
which was counted upon in the early days
of the war, nor is there any good reason
to doubt that it amounts to something in
the neighborhood Of three quarters of a
million.
There has been a great deal of
grumbling in England at the slOwness of
recruiting and the failure of munitions and
supplies of all kinds. Much of this has
doubtless been taken too seriously. As for
recruiting, it has at least kept pace with
and the cry for CONSUMPTION
may safely be attributed to party motives.
Munitions have not been produced rapidly
enough 50 equal the demand, but nothing
like the demand has ever been known be-
fore. It must be remembered, too, as Mr..
Lloyd George points out, that Great Brit
ain has been supplying her allies, yet in
spite Of this circumstance there is at pres
ent q considerable reserve.
Nearly three months ago a French OBJ
server remarked in ole Temps" that, con-
trary to the popular opinion, Great Brit
ain had worked miracles in the way Of or
and expressed the belief that
no country in the world could possibly
have done more. He was perfectly salts
fed as a result of his own investigation
that conscription would never be necessary,
and his judgment was entirely in accord
with that of Mr.. Lloyd George to-day, that
the creation Of so great an army in so
short a time was a feat hitherto I'M
paralleled.

Campbell VS.. Campbell.

To the Editor Of The Tribune.
/ Sir: We beg to call your attention to an
article published or page of The New No,t
Tribune of April p. 1915, which purports to
be report of the trial of the action Of
Frances Soule Campbell vs.. Campbell Arr
Company. The report states that the action
is one for breach of contract and an account
ing. 1t further states that the Campbell Art
Company contracted with Miss Campbell to
sell copies of the portrait of Mary Baker
Eddy for one, two and four dollars each,
and to pay Miss Campbell commissions on the
sales, and that Miss Campbell seeks an ac-
counting Of these sales.
The action is not one Tor either breach Of
contract or for an accounting, as examination
Of the pleadings will show. On the contrary,
it was admitted in open court that the Camp
bell Art Company had paid to Miss Campbell
greater amount, in advanced royalties, than
has ever been earned by the sale Of her pict-
ures. and Miss Campbell has never disputed
this fact. Miss Campbell, some time ago,
notified the Campbell Art Company that she
wished to terminate her contract with them,
and gave them ninety days notice of this in
tenton-as provided in the contract The
contract also provided that the Campbell Art
Company, in the event of the giving of such
notice, could dispose Of the stock which they
then had on hand. Miss Campbell does not
approve OF the pictures, claiming that they
DO not fully bring out the artistic effect of
her original, and her action is brought for
the purpose of securing an injunction pre-
venting the Campbell Art Company from dis
posing of these pictures in accordance with
the terms Of their contract with her.
Our client feels aggrie,ed by the report
published in your paper, intimating that they
have failed TO account to Miss Campbell for
her share Of the proceeds from the pictures
which they did sell under the contract. Miss
Campbells attorney stated in open court this
morning that the article published by you
was not authorized by him, and Justice
Blanchard suggested that we call this matter
to your attention. Furthermore, at the close
of the case, Justice Blanchard stated, in

Bernstorfian Inconsistencies.
the Editor Of The Tribune.

To the Editor of The Tribune.
Sir: Count Won Bernstorf's latest com
muncatlon to the United States informs US
that at is therefore to be assumed that the
United States government has accepted Eng
lands violations of international law" be-
cause England has prevented foodstufs from
being shipped into Germany after the German
government, in an official decree, had taken
such supplies under its direct control.
Whether England broke any international
laws will leave to international lawyers to
discuss, but as a layman may | ask why the
sailing vessel Frye, although flying the
United States flag was sunk by the Eitel
Friedrich, for the sole reason that she was
carrying a cargo of wheat to England? This
act took place many weeks before the Will
helmna was captured by the English, and
could therefore not have been in the nature
Of a reprisal
The German government may apparently
sink any ship, neutral or otherwise, carry
ing food supplies destined for the inhabitants
of any of the allied countries. and still be
within her international rights; but England
in holding up food supplies destined for the
German government, to dispose of as she
pleases, brings forth a sharp protest from
Ambassador Won Bernstorff.
If a burglar broke into my house and
brandished gun in my face, can you imagine
him protesting that | had broken the Sulli-
van law If later drew a revolver when an
opportunity arose and overpowered him?

that two big, prosperous nations, side by
