Secrecy Part of Preparedness.

To the Editor Of The Tribune
Sir: Moses Lyman's letter of July is
timely and should meet with the hearty APP
proval of every level-headed citizen of these
United States, but Americans are like chill
dren, and not only tell but blab all they know
and all they guess. A new gun is toy TO
be exhibited and the working Of it explained
TO all corners, while a battleship affords
even greater opportunity for advertisement,
Our navy yards are the rendezvous for
hyphenatcd spies. All visitors should be ex-
cluded from them. The sailing of ships and
the contents of their manfests are adver-
tised in the interests Of Germany, who shuts
her mouth and springs her tiger subma-
rines on the prey so exposed by her friends -
Fontcnelle says: 81 may have my hand
full Of truth and open only my little finger"
The nation that has thus far been most sue
cessful has observed this rule. Who knew
Of her thorough preparedness? Who knows
of the big guns until they belch forth
their murderous fire? Who knows of the
horrible poisonous gases until their victims
are asphyxated and tortured to death?
Let The Tribune lead in the roicy of
silence. w. +. HOLWILL.

"Real Facts" by Professor Flamm.

Most COMMUNICATIONS have hitherto
talked of the Lusitania's ghOstly eXplo-
sives as if they had been destined, to-
gether with the cartridges, to destroy
Germany's breadwinners. 1t was admit
ted, of course, at the suggestion of the
imperial government, that these hypothet-
ical substances accounted for the rapid
sinking of the vessel, but the popular
opinion was that they were originally in
tended to be used against the breadwin-
ners, and that the Americans were put on
board with them only to make sure that
they would be safely delivered.
Professor Oswald Flamm. the eminent
naval constructor, has hit on much bet
ter theory. After due reflection he has
come to the conclusion, not that the Amer
leans were procured to protect the explo-
sives. but that the explosives were pro-
cured to blow up the Americans. 1t is q
wonder that no one thought of this before.
Obviously, as the Herr Professor points
out, Captain Turner and the British Ad-
miralty entered into conspiracy to :et
Germany into trouble with the United
States. Everything points to this con-
clusion. It is admitted. for instance, that
the Lusitania did not follow the course
advised by the Admiralty, and it is like
wise admitted that no destroyers were
sent to the assistance Of the Lustania
when she began to sink. Why? Because
the Admiralty made an agreement with
the commander beforehand, saying, in eff
feet; "If you will promise not to follow
our directions we will engage to take mo-
notice of your S o s." That is the Herr
Professors great discovery.
There was always the dangerous posi-
bility that Captain Turner might fail to-
run foul of a German torpedo. so he took
care, the Herr Professor explains, to slow
down in the danger zone. BY great good
luck he contrived to place himself in the
path Of one that happened somehow TO be
discharged by German submarine, and

Turkey and Bulgaria.

British apprehension over the recent
Turko-Bulgarian convention respecting th'
short stretch of railway between the Bull
garian frontier at Mustapha Pasha anc
Mandra seems really unwarranted. TC
Judge from the dispatches there has been
no cession of territory.
The situation is this: BY the Treaty OF
Bucharest and the subsequent settlement
with Turkey, Bulgaria acquired the sea-
coast of Thrace from the mouth Of the
Martha to that of the Karasu. The only
seaport of Importance was Dedeagatch.
This is reached by the railroad which
leaves the main Oriental line, connecting
Sofia with Constantinople just south of
Adrianople.
To 90 from the old Bulgarian territory
to the new by rail it is therefore made
necessary to cross the Turkish frontier
at Mustapha Pasha and travel on Turkish
soil as far as Mandra. All Bulgarian rail
connection with its new territory and with
the Egean port is thus subjected to de
laws anI interference in Turkish territory.
Apparently Turkey has now conceded
TO BuLaria the right to run trains through
Turkish territory without interference,
provided they do not stop This amounts
- little more than trackage rights. 1t
will be Of material benefit to Bulgaria,
but costs Turkey nothing.
Bulgaria has never accepted as definite
the reoccupation of Adrianople and Thrace
north of the Enos- Midia line by the Turks.
This was one Of the costly consequences of
the Second Balkan War. In losing this
territory Bulgaria was deprived Of the
only natural access to the Kgean. She
has planned to construct line from Phil
lppopohs across the mountains to Porto
Lagos, but this viii work great expense
and involve heavy grades. Thanks to the
Turkish concession, she is now assured of
direct and easy rail connection with Dedea-
Catch.
But it is wholly unlikely that such
q concession would be a sufficient bride
to persuade Bulgaria to join the Turks
against the Allies.

with singular skill he intercepted 1t at a
most vulnerable point, so that the longed-
for destruction of his ship was speedily
accomplished. To make quite sure of the
event, however, he sent some one below to
set off those explosives about which we
have heard so much. 1t is explained that
the hero who performed this service was
bribed by the British Admiralty, but this
great truth, together with all the rest, is
unknown TO the British public, because "thc
investigation was behind closed doors"

he calls "the real facts he does not tell

ton shipped to Italy increased from 49,
500 bales to 1.O41 POT. Most of this excess
went to Germany. Our exports TO the
group of minor European countries, IN
GLIDING Holland, Denmark, Norway and
Sweden. increased from 93,lO4 bales TO
l,36l.152, and the great part of this IN
crease also went to Germany. There is GOOD
reason to think that Germany and Aus
tria- Hungary obtained in l9l4-15 more
than IS per cent of their normal cotton
supply from the United States.
The British Orders in Council have had,
in fact, little effect in diminishing our
cotton sales to Europe. The United
Kingdom increased its purchases from
3,330,240 bales to 3,637,3S9. But there
were losses of 200,O 900 bales in Belgium, of
over 100000 bales in France and of 10000
bales in Russia, not due in any way to the
operations of the Allied blockade y
France consumed less American cotton
proportionately in 19l4-15 than Germany
did. But in spite Of all discouragements
the total export of American cotton for
the eleven months ended May 81, 1915, was
only 766,565 below the total for the CORE
spending eleven months of the preceding
year.
The war has lowered cotton prices. But
so far it has only slightly diminished ex-
ports, and what dimnution there has been
can be charged only in slight degree to
the workings of Great Britain's present
sea policy.

has been the organizer Of the Russian army
since the resignation Of General Kuropatkir
after the hapless Manchurian campaign, and
thanks to his efforts, the Russian army was
never so well prepared for war as it was
this time. He was an exceedingly able and
energetic organizer and il is certainly no
fault Of his if, in spite of an aggregate ex-
penditure of G50,O0O0O0 incurred during the
ten years preceding the war in connection
with various supplies departments of the
army administration, the Russians of late
may have become short OF some necessary

fare has turned out to be. Ii is worthy OF
notice that on the resignation of General
Kuropatkin the choice lay between him and
General Polivanof, then the chief Of the
general staif, and it was the Cars own order
which placed General Sukhomlinoff at the
head of the Ministry of War The Cars

The letter of Mr. Thurston expressed
admirably the present writer's own views,
which serve as a reason why he is not in
favor of votes for women, for their entrance
into political life would have as deleterious

Legislative News
BIGGEST WEEK IN
WHOLE SESSION
More Important Measures Are to
Be Taken Up in the Next Few
Days Than Heretofore

This will be the biggest week of the
whole legislative session. More i'm
portant measures are scheduled to be
acted upon than at any time since the
general assembly began its work and
in addition it is probable that the
workmen's compensation and other
big bills will be discussed in commit
tees. Appearance of the appropri-
alton bills has speeded up the legisla
tors and they are hustling to get bills
out of committee beore the final rush
begins.
The House calendar is the largest of
any this session, containing over 225
appropriation bills and many more. 1t
takes 90 pages to make up the House
calendar. The Senate calendar con-
tains only seventeen pages.
Tonight ,at the local option bill
will be on second reading and the full
crew bill is on third reading. The lat
ter will have its big fight tonight.
Both sides are confident after one of
the most spectacular campaigns ever
waged in the history of the State. The
local option bill will have it's fight on
third reading on Wednesday morning
when it is the special order. Two of
the Borough Leagues bills to amend
lne puplIc service company law SO us
to remove certain jurisdiction over
municipalities are scheduled for spe-
cial orders tomorrow and the bills
favored by the commission to give il
power to suspend rates and to abolish
certain requirements in regard to con-
tracts will likely be reached on second
reading the same day
In the Senate it is expected that the
committee in charge of the child labor
bill will take action on Wednesday and
a series of hearings on various meas
ures is scheduled. Comparatively few
hearings are scheduled for House COM
mittees as the bulk OF the committee
men are working to clear up their
lists and the demands of the regular
sessions of the House are greater than
at any time this session.

Appropriations Are to
Be Pushed Along

Appropriation bills for state and
semistate institutions will be reported
out by the House committee on appro-
priations this week and consideration
will be given to the measures granting
state aid to educational institutions
such as State College. the Universities
of Pennsylvania and Pittsburgh and
Temple University.
Chairman Woodward, who returned
to-day from inspection trips in the
eastern part of the State. plans to
complete the general appropriation
bill as soon as legislation which will
provide for changes in departments
or add to the lists of officials and at
taches is enacted. For this reason
efforts to hasten measures providing
offices will be made. 1t is probable
that the Senate committee in charge
of the workmens compensation acts
which create new divisions of govern
ment. will consider them this week.
An interesting fact in connection
with the appropriation bills for hos
pitals. which will be on first reading
tonight, is that where pathological
and clinical laboratories and depart
ments of anaethesia are provided they
shall be approved by the State Board
of Medical Education and Licensure
This requirement was added to a num-
ber of bills when the committee had
them under consideration. The addi-
ton of such departments was also
made to a number of the bills at re-
quest of sponsors while they were
before the committee.

Amendment to Be
Made Workable

Legislation to make operative the
constitutional amendment of 1913 to
enable all counties outside of Phila-
delphia to increase their borrowing
capacity from seven to ten per cent. of
the assessed valuation provided funds
are used for public works is to be con-
sidered by the committees in charge
this week This amendment was the
only one to get a majority at the cleo
ton two years ago when the big road
loan and other proposed amendments
went down.
One bill was presented by Senator
William J. Burke, Allegheny, and ap
plies to municipalities and the other
came from Representative Joseph Il.
Phillips, Clearfield. The latter speci-
fies both counties and municipalities
The provisions of the bills are al
most the same in other respects. The
Burke bill stipulates that no obliga-
ton issued or to be issued for con-
structon of subways, water works,
railways or other works of like char
acter. shall be considered as a debt of
the municipality if the net income
therefrom from such investments for
five years shall have been sufficient to
carry it. Arrangements for issuance
of evidences of debt for interest and
sinking fund charges during construc-
ton are outlined as no tax for the
fixed charges can be levied until the
property has been operated for year.

JUDICIAL ACT IS
EFFECTIVE SOON
Will Regulate the Nomination and
Election of Superior Court
Judges This Year


There is much interest about the
Capitol in the bill the Senate will
have up for consideration on first
reading tonight. This bill was intro
duced by Senator James P. McNichol,
of Philadelphia, amending the non
partisan act of 1913 in relation to the
nomination and election of judges
The bill opens the way for candidates
for the three places on the Superior
Court bench this fall to make their
election sure by securing 81 per cent.
of the vote cast at the primaries.
The present act provides that any
candidate for an office to which but
one person is to be elected who re-
ceives 81 per cent. of the vote at the
primary shall be the sole candidate
at the election. The McNichol amend
ment adds to the act a provision that
at any primary where two or more
vacancies are to be filled in any court
composed of two or more judges, IL a
number of candidates equal to the
number of positions to be filled re-
ceive 81 per cent of the total vote
cast they shall be the sole nominees
for the election. If but one candidate
receives 81 per cent. of the vote, his
name would be placed alone on the
ballot for the election. and the other
nominees, two for each position,
would be grouped together. That is,
the canoluateS receiving ol per cent.
of the vote would be grouped to-
gether without opposition at the cleo
ton and those falling short of the
81 per cent. would be placed together
to fight it out for the remaining po-
sitions.
The Tompkins bill. repeating the
nonpartisan act. has been sent back to
the Senate elections committee and
probably will be permitted to remain
there. This is the bill opposed by
Pittsburghers.
