To the Editor Of THE TIMES:
II is manffestlv evident that Repre-

very low opinion of the legislative

ton with the present Administration Is
not due either to imbeClltty or inCOm-
potency. It's failure TO meet the OK

a far more serious detection. The fact
is. that the Wilson Administration has

THE NECESSARY LUxURIES

Here's an actual case. A man
climbed into his automobile and
drove around to the shoe dealer
from whom he had for years bought
footwear, and had a pair of new
.brogans fitted to his feet. They
were precisely the ones he had been
buying for several years. When they
were fitted he produced and ten
dered Sc.
"Sorry, but those shoes are 81
now" said the salesman. "The last
pair you had cost you $3.50"
"And the pair before that cost
me &c." said the buyer; "and three
years or so ago they cost $5."
The salesman admitted it, there
was bit of grumbling about the
high cost Of walking, and the 81
was paid.
Then the man got into his car and
drove around to garage for tank
Of gasolene. The price had gone up
cent since the last time.
There was a roar that could have
been heard city square away about
the outrage that was being per-
petrated on the down-trodden mo-
torist. The incident of the shoes
had been forgotten in thirty Sec
onds; it took ten minutes. Of lurid
exposition to enable the victim of
this newest depravity to relieve his
system of it's surcharged feelings.
Shoes might reasonably be re-
garded as a necessary of life to that
man, but he stood "the gaff" with
ont second thought. Gasolene is,
for him, the motive power Of lux
ury; but it was immeasurably more
important in his purview.
Illustrating something that will
be noted every day by anybody who
will take the trouble to observe what
is going on about him, namely, that
the necessaries that we all get ex-
cited about are not the necessaries
at all, but the luxuries.
If the luXuries were not so indis-
persablc, the indispensable wouldn't
he luxuries. If we could even
imagine ourselves getting along
without some Of the luxuries, the
increased cost of real Recessaries
would make mighty little difference.
But we can't; leastwise, we don't.

Tars Given Sample of

hardshipS OF war 1T sea.

MR.. BARRETT's PROCLAMATION

After the war, both victor ant
vanquished will be hostile to the
United States. The victor viii
claim to have won despite the United
States, the vanquished to have lost
because Of the United States.
Thus does Director General Bar.
rett, of the Pan-American Union
analyze the sentiment that will set.
tie upon Europe after the present
struggle; a sentiment that, if it is
thus accurately stated, will be ON
inous for the future of peace and
security in this hemisphere. 1t is
not difficult to find reasons for Mr.
Barrett's opinion. Who may doubt
that the allies, victorious after a con-
test that will have bled them white,
would feel that they had been fight
ing the battle of the United States,
and ought to have had it's help in
some disinterested fashion than the
selling of supplies for huge profits I?
Or that Germany, defeated, would
bitterly insist that if the United
States had embargoed those same
supplies, the central empires would
have won.
Reverse the situation, and assume
Germany the victor. There need be
no doubt that it would regard itself
as victor despite the plain sympa-
thies and the substantial assistance
of this country for the allies; and the
allies, defeated, would be convinced
that they ought to have had, and
could have won with, the full meas
ure of support that America might
have given them.
Mr.. Barrett has merely stated a
proposition. on high international
authority. that this newspaper has
repeatedly urged. 1t is so evident as
hardly to require analysis and dem
onstration. The sentiments which
German publicists do not attempt to
conceal, and those which the British
press only i'll disguises, all point to
the correctness of the director gen.
erals estimate of their inner senti-
ments, now and for the future.
1t behooves the Americas, then,
knowing that after the war there
will have to be opened new fields of
enterprise and effort in order that
Europe may be rehabilitated, to re-
gard seriously the position they
will occupy. Pan-American solidar-
ity in spirit and purpose will be the
greatest safeguard of Pan-American
interests. The western world has
such a need as it never had before,
to get together in definite, prac-
teal, meaning way, and prepare for
the test that lies ahead. If the pres
ent gathering of the Americas in
this Capital shall pave the way to
such a result, it will have done much
to insure the future tranquility and
perhaps the very Independent exist
ence of the republican governments
of the New World.

WAR AND THE BIRTH RATE

The war is now seventeen
months old; a sufficient period to
make possible some pretty accurate
judgments as to its effect on the
birth rate of the fighting countries.
A calculation haN been made from
German statistics, which indicates
that that country has lost just about
as much in population by reason of
the falling birth rate, as because of
wars casualties. The number of
deaths in battles or resulting from
them, it has been stated, for the
German armies, at about LOO per
day; while the births of the country
have fallen off rather more than
1000 per day. Thus the human loss
must be regarded as twice the num-
ber Of those actually sacrificed on
the field.
In France the conditions are far
worse. Even in the first half of 1914,
according to data gathered from of
fetal sources. the births were 1900
fewer than the deaths. That was be-
fore the war. The full effect of the
war on the birth rate was not felt
Immediately after war began; but
the number of births has fallen so
much that, adding this loss to the
slaughter on the field, it becomes
evident that France is being depopu-
lated at rate most menacing to the
French nation and threatening it's
future standing among the great
powers. The number of marriages
has fallen at fearful rate; it was
barely more than one-third as great,
in the last half of 1914. as in the
corresponding period of the previous
year. In Great Britain the birth
rate is stated to be lower now than

THE ANCONA SETTLEMENT

1t will hardly be questioned. in
view Of the attitude of our Gov
eminent has taken in former phases
Of submarine controversy, that. the
latest Austrian note concerning the
Ancona sinking will dissipate the
serious danger Of diplomatic break
between the two countries. There
might have been possibility of un-
comfortable results, even yet, if the
Washington Government had not
given so many, testimonies of its de-
termination to do anything else be-
fore coming to and meeting square
ly the direct issue of a break.
The Austrian note, carefully ana
lyzed, is one of the most heartless
and cold-blooded documents that the
war has produced on diplomatic au-
thority, since the German admission
that Belgium was being raped, but
that the outrage was justified by
military necessities. Austria places
the blame for loss of lives on the
crew of the Ancona, who are accused
OF deserting the passengers in order
to rescue themselves. 1t is calmly
admitted that the ships company,
thus presumably deserted. was in a
state of panic; that boats were not
lowered when and as they should be,
presumably because the seamen had
deserted and nobody was left COM
petent to do this service. Yet, ac-
cepting the Austrian statement of
these conditions at it's face value,
the submarine commander proceeded
to sink the vessel with a torpedo at a
time when he admits he knew there
were yet many people on board, and
that the crew had deserted.
This makes a record of delibera-
tion in murder that is quite beyond
palliation. Austria comedies the
general principle of American de-
mand that crew and passengers of
peaceful vessels should not be ruth
lessly destroyed, and says the sub
marine commander has been pun
shed in this case. How, when, to
what degree, is not stated. Further,
Austria is willing to give indemnity
for American lives lost.
But in the conclusion of the Vienna
note is made the careful reservation
that Austria reserves the right to
discuss further with the United
States the difficult questions of sub
marine warfare. This means, if it
means anything, that Austria con-
s,ders that it is acting generously
with this country in offering indem-
nifty; is paying something that it
could not of right have been held
to pay; is paying because it guesses
that to pay is to satisfy any Ameri-
can grievance, as if American honor
were on the bargain counter for a
price. On the broad questions of
managing submarine warfare there
Ia no determination that gives guar
antee for the future.
But whether in fact Austria has
