In Aid of Belgian Women.

To the Editor of The Tribune.
Sir: In your columns you have very kindly
given me space for my plea on behalf of the
Belgian War Refugees Industry in London.
This industry is proving to be remarkable
solution Of the terrible economic and moral
problems confronting uprooted, destitute
and suffering people.

helped and arc helping me so generously TO
extend their interest a little further by Civ
ing contributions of money, however small.
to assist in starting for Belgian women a
small industry for making surgical dressings.
1t is fitting TO employ these women in sup
plying the needs of the armies in which their
husbands and sons are fighting, and serves
the double purpose OF giving them much
reeded assistance and of increasing the out
put Of surgical dressings, for which, alas I!
The demand $ unlimited.

tributions Of money addressed TO her at IS

Men Wanted for Ambulance Work

To the Editor Of The Tribune.
Sir: Ny brother, Richard Norton, the com
mander of the American Volunteer Motor
Ambulance Corps. has cabled me that the
corps is in need Of ten volunteers. This corps
began work at the start of the war, and has
been doing for the last few months the reg
ular ambulance service for one Of the French
army divisions. It is accordingly held in
high esteem, and both the methods Of con
Quoting it and the merits Of its volunteers
have been highly commended by the French
army and medical authorities
The essential requirements for volunteers
are that they should be good Americans, in
sound health capable of withstanding hard
ships. and doing hard and trying work in
connection with wounded men with kindness
and without complaint. Volunteers should
also be good-tempered and capable OF get
ting on well with other men OF all kinds and
conditions. In addition, they must be able
20 drive motor and talk some French. Thr
men attached to the corps have been prnci-
pally American college graduates from TWEEN
ty-hye to fifty years old, and are dne and
agreeable set of men to be associated with
in very interesting and splendid work in
volved in the most stipend Is event of the
worlds history.
Ny brother has asked me TO pass upon the
qualifications of any men who want TO vol
unteer, and shall accordingly be glad to
hear from any who wish to do so.

The Lesson of Gallipoi.

The awful sacrifice of brave ren a. the
Dardanellcs is an object lesson 20 the United
States. American soldiers would be just a
brave as the British soldiers who were
slaughtered at Gallipoli. but they would be
just as uselessly slaughtered if war should
come before preparations are made Men in
high places in Britain are sure 10 fall as a
result Of the laundering at Gallipoi. Repu-
tations will crumble, and men in responsible
Offices will be execrated and driven out. The
people of England will not let the slaughter
of their heroic soldiers 90 unrebuked. But
public wrath and vengeance will not restore
the lives OF the boys who are gore. and the
only good that can be extracted from the ap-
palling experience is 10 make sure that II viii
never be repeated II Congress and the ex-
ecutive departments take this lesson 20 heart
while there is time, this country can escape
the sorrow and humiliation that Great Britain
has brought upon herself by her unprepared
ness.

Clean and Dirty Fighters.

Most Of the hard things that have been
said of the German as n fighting man are
vehemently denied by those who may he
supposed TO know Germany best-his own
countrymen. The exploits that have won
him renown ms 1.-The dirtiest fighter on
earth" are occasionally justified on the
score of necessity. but for the most part
they are dismissed as English, French or
Belgian lies. inspired by jealousy and I'M
notent rage. No one. il is argued. who
knows the native kindness and genlality of
the German people could possibly believe
them capable Of the cruelties commonly
attributed to them; hence. all the stories
Of tyranny and atrocity may safely he put
down as foul inventions designed TO be-
smirch the character Of a gallant and
victorious foe.
This is a plausible answer and might
serve we'll enough if we had no means
of testing the amazing reputation that the
German fighter has won among all his
adversaries. 1t is easy, however, to COM
pare the impressions of those who are
opposed 10 him with those who are, or
have lately been. opposed TO the heather
Turk If envious vituperation and Sian
der are engendered in an enemy by defeat
then surely the disastrous campaign on
the Gallipoli Peninsula ought to have given
the Turk very bad name. But, strange
10 saw. from the very first encounter, the
French, English and Colonials have spoken
almost universally with respect and adj
miration of the Turk.
In the early days when there was some
hope of defeating him comments on his
extraordinary bravery were frequently IN
terlarded with tributes TO his chivalry, and
in not a few private letters published In
the English papers he was contrasted in
this respect with his Christian ally, to the
manifest prejudice of the latter. The hu-
initiation inflicted on the invaders does not
seem in the least TO have modified their
judgment
Just before the Australian forces began
TO retire a message describing the final
preparations was dispatched by Captain
Bean to the High Commissioner. III the
course of which, remarking on the care
bestowed by the men on the graves OF
their comrades, he noted chat the men
believed the Turks would respect these
eraveyards; indeed, many had been writ
ing letters to leave in their dugouts for
Abdul. telling him what clean fighter
they think him and wishing him an
rerotr."
Another correspondent, noting the kind
feelings Of the soldiers toward Johnnie
Turk" remarks on the retirement from
Suvla that "the crowning testimony of good
feeling is the gramophone which was put
in conspicuous place IN trench on
Walkers Ridge, with the disk on and the
needle set ready TO play The Turkish

Can any one conceive Of a Frenchman
or a Briton paying like tribute TO the
