A Plea for Hospital Ships.
iitor Of The Tribune.

To the Editor of The Tribune.
Sir: On June 81, 1916, the Hon. Josephus
Daniels, Secretary Of the Navy, wrote me:
81 would inform you that at the present
time no steps have been taken to acquire
additional hospital ships for the navy, al
though the department is fully prepared to
make alterations and equip any ships for
this purpose which may become necessary for
the naval service"
On Friday, July IA, 1916, at his Office in
Washington, Franklin Roosevelt, Assistant
Secretary of the Navy, casually informed me
the navy was badly in need of hospital
snip; that the old Solace, which the depart
ment had been using for nearly twenty years,
was totally inadequate, and, besides, was
unseaworthy- having nothing else, they
had to use her, and she was doing service to-
day at Santo Domingo.
My correspondence with Mr.. Daniels has
been with reference to acquiring a hospital
ship TO save the men of the National Guard
from being ruthlessly murdered, as was the
case in 1898, if any attempt should be made
to bring the sick north by railroad trains.
Lately Mr.. Daniels has kindly handed me over
to Secretary Baker, rather than file me in the
Fiske pigeonhole. The hospital ship idea for
the National Guard is now being considered
by Mr.. Bicknell, head of the Red Cross, and
by Colonel Kean, Director General of Mill
tary Relief, and if in their judgment the
ship is practical for the present circum-
stances which lot of weasel words and po-
ltlcal buncombe have gotten us into, no
doubt the ship will be forthcoming.
That hospital ship is needed for the Ma
tional Guard is all too evident if you will but
visit the New York Hospital in West 18th
Street. There you will find Squadron A men
with broken legs-many men from other
regiments knocked out. If such is the case
before the Guard left for the border, what
will be the result from sending lot of un-
hardened men-bred in a Northern climate
on a six-day journey in day coaches; men
eating a type of food which ultimately will
be good for them but results in illness from
sudden application?
Now as to the hospital ship for the navy:
In view of the navy's only hospital shin. the
Solace, being called unseaworthy and made
quate by an Assistant Secretary of the NAVY:
in view of my being told elsewhere about
the frightful situation of performing oper.
ations on the Solace in low, between -deck
hole where the temperature was 1870 de.
grees; IN view OF efficient naval officers
claiming that the Asiatic Station in times Of
peace needs a hospital ship every bi, as
badly as the Atlantic fleet, what is wrong
with the Navy Department under either Re,
publican or Democratic administrations tba,
enlisted men should seriously suffer from
ireihciency, as was the case in 1898 ard
Will be the case in 1916 with the National
Guard? RE CPopITv

Turkey and the State Department.

In letter which we publish elsewhere
on this page DR.. +. g. Tabet, the secretary
of the Beirut Reform League, calls atten-
tion to some of the tragic results of re-
cent shocking violation by Turkey of Amer
lean sovereignty. When the French Con-
sui at Beirut withdrew from his post, on
the entry of Turkey into the war as Ger
many's ally, he turned over his archives to
the United States Consul. In his papers
was a copy of a petition to the French gov
ernment from the Beirut Reform League,
Moslem-C Christian body formed some
years ago to promote constitutional re-
forms in Syria. The league was alarmed
at the ruthless efforts of the government
at Constantinople to drive out or extermi-
nate the Christian Syrians and to revive
the spirit of religious persecution. 1t
sought the aid of France in checking this
crusade of bigotry and violence, since
France has always shown a special inter-
est in the welfare of the Syrian Christians.
The Turkish authorities recently broke
into the American consulate at Beirut,
rifed the French archives, under this gov
ernment's care and protected by its seal,
and apparently carried away the petition
in question. All of its signers were soon
sentenced TO death in court martial pro-
ceeding, and one of them, whom the Turks
were able to lay hands on, was executed.
AS Dr. Tabet points out, the copy of the
petition which formed part of the French
consulate's archives must have been used
as evidence, since there were only two
copies in existence and the other is in a
safe deposit box in this city.
Here is a case of Turkish insolence and
high-handedness which touches American
honor in a peculiar way. The Turks have
committed many offences against Ameri-
can rights since the European war began.
They denounced without warning or dis
cussion the capitulation which gave us, in
common with many other nations, extra
territorial privileges in Turkey. They
have maltreated American missionaries
and destroyed American property. But
until the Beirut incident they had never
brutally challenged our national dignity
and self-respect by breaking into our con-
suates and seizing papers confided TO US
in trust for another country.
The Young Turks doubtless have COM
plete contempt for a nation whose head in
great crisis publicly discusses the ques-
tion whether or not it may be too proud
to fight" They naturally laugh in their
sleeves at our diplomatic representations.
But the policy of forgetting one outrage
while waiting for another TO happen can
not continue forever. We may remain

Relations with Mexico.
CFrom The Bu0aio ETpressJ


The old-fashioned American frontiersman
has appeared on the Mexican border at last.
His name is Tom Perrine and he owns a
ranch thirty-two miles from FL Paso. On
Friday night band OF MeXcans raided his
ranch and drove off some of his horses.
Perrine and two of his employees rode in pur-
suit headed off the Mexcans in narrow
pass and fought and whipped the whole
forty of them. Perrine says they killed
fourteen II will be some time before any
small band of Mexicsns attempts to raid Tom
Perrine's ranch again.
The raid on Perrine's ranch by the way,
was only one of three reported on Saturday.
In one of the others three Americans are
said TO have been carried into Mexico. Yet
the officials at Washington are so full of
henevolence that they are even talking
strongly about having somebody lend Car
rama money. Any American who does not
mind the fact that the Administration policy
forbids any protection to investors in Mex
leo can put the Administration under a debt
of gratitude by letting Carranza have $780,
900 900 or so.

"The Knights Come Riding

1t may be but little thing, you say,
That horsemen charge again in Europe.
No,
'Tis not little thing. The long ago
Shines round it in high splendor, and
there play
About the deed shimmering array
Of knightly swords. With solemn tread
and slow
The mouldering barons ride from Rhine
to Pc,
Sweep back to flame athwart our modern
day!
Yea, back through the drab reign of shell
and shot
The knights come riding, and the purple
cup
Is tinged again with silver. Launcelot
Shakes high his tabled blade in the face
of Krupp.
The swift sword cuts again the Gordian
knot
Light stirs, and the dead centuries look
up.

To the Editor of The Tribune.
Sir: The story in to-day's Tribune about
the man who wants something unusual to

the point of the whole thing is the fact tina,
employers really aren't imaginative enough
as he says. They can only think Of people
in inches. and keep them there. It's evident
that the man who advertised for something
unusual TO do has the spirit and originality
he offers and that ought to be a salable
commodity, the same as deadly, conservative
business, the kind employers are usually
looking for.
