A Bogus Letter?

To the Editor Of The Tribune.
Sir. The first impression that ! receive
among others, from reading your leading
editorial i'm yesterdays issue Of The Tribune
in which you quote IN full as your text a
letter alleged TO have been written 10 you
from this city by one purporting TO be V
Adolph Ackermann, is that you must be hard
pressed indeed to find justification for your
hostile attitude toward the candidacy OF
Charles +. Hughes when YOU are driven to
such an extreme Of puerility in quoting and
seriously commenting upon such a palpably
fraudulent communication as this one from
the alleged ~. Adoph Ackermann."
1t looks very much TO me that if you seri
ously believe that that is a genuine letter,
written in good faith, your credulity is born
of your disloyalty TO the Republican party,
its principles and its Presidential candidate.
The fact that you seek 20 disguise that dis
loyalty by reiterated statements OF your loyal
support to the Republican nominee only
serves 20 make your dsoyalty the more in
sidious and contemptible
think 10 one who has true Americanism
at heart. as well as the principles Of the
Republican party, is at all likely TO be misled
by your hostile attitude against the candidacy
of Charles r. Hughes; the animus back Of
your attitude is completely exposed by your
using such a palpably bogus communication
as that Of the alleged ~. Adolph Ackermaan"
as a peg upon which TO hang an insulting
prrument; that is TO say, insulting to the in
tellgence Of any man Of even moderate per
spicacity.
True Americanisn as the political capital
and slogan of a political demagogue is not
the quality Of Americanism that appeals TO
the Republican party and for which it stands,
as is abundantly demonstrated by its supreme
action in the convention at Chicago recently.

The Empiric Drinker.

From time to time the guardians of our
health undertake at great pains to de-
monstrate the uselessness Of alcoholic
beverages in the human dietary. They
bring forward arguments new and old, as
if to persuade the drinker that he is
laboring under a deusion. to show him
that as a body-buider whiskey cannot
hold candle to milk, or to prove that If
he would only be reasonable he could not
continue to consume beer in the belief
that it is as nourishing as porridge, or as
cheap.
A bulletin just published by the De
partment Of Health is full of these old
truths. DR.. Donald b. Armstrong dis
covers that the caloric value of dimes
worth of beer as compared with a dimes
worth of beefstcak is as 24O to 375, while
at the same cost man can get ten times
as much out Of oatmeal. His conclusion
is that alcohol if it can be called food at
all. is a most expensive food. But, people
say. il is a most agreeable stimulant. no,
says DR.. Armstrong, as thousands of
other doctors have said before him, it is
not so; for ION both the physical and
mental sides the drug is a depressant, a
narcotic which removes inhibitions."
Yet it may be doubted whether the aver
age drinking man cares very much about
these things. When he longs for drink
he may debate in his mind whether whis-
key is what he wants, but never for a
moment does he think of considering
whether oatmeal would not be better. Nor
does he trouble his head much about Gallo
ries, except emotionally, as whether this
drink or that would be the more cooling

Adopt Ii.

Practically all the objections made 10
the building restriction plan now under
consideration by the Board of Estimate
and Apportionment are criticisms OF ue-
tails of the recommendations of the com
mission. The only general criticism-and
that appears to be rather in the nature
of a conjecture than statement OF TACT
comes from a real estate dealer VINO
believes the restriction of use of property
will serve as the basis for claims for re-
duction of taxes
Against that there is the certainty that
the present haphazard, hit-or-miss devel-
opment of the city, due to speculation
new transit facilities and a dozen other
contributing causes, produces amazing
fluctuations in the tax rolls which are
Good neither for the city nor for the prop
ertv owners whose fuctuating values are
represented by the up-and-down move
oents of the tax rolls. Criticism of de-
tails of the plan is to be expected, and
welcomed. 1t would not be possible, even
with the long and intelligent work given
TO this problem by the commission, 20
achieve a perfect scheme.
What is important now is that scheme
Of limiting building uses and helgh:S'
generally acceptable, has been worked
out. The Board of Estimate and Appor-
;ionment may we'll adopt it. Once ADOPT

"Stand Bly,

The United States is Enthusiastically on
the edge Of another declaration of war
with Mexico. If there is any chance Of
peace it must flow from the recognition Of
the Carranza government that the people
of the United States stand unitedly and
wholeheartedly behind President Wilson in
his determination TO protect American
lives, American soil and American honor.
Such being the fact, The Tribune as a
Republican newspaper pledges itself to
support NJ. Wilson IN every act which is
designed tc end American interests and
protect American lives We believe that

indorse his step in calling out the militia
and will follow him unhesitatingly in any
further and similar action that he shall

stration that the country is ready and will

To-day we must all practise little of
the Americanism some Of us have talked
much about in recent months. This Amer
icanism. it seems to The Tribune, must
begin by supporting the national govern
ment in an hour Of crisis and in holding
up its hands by demonstrating that at the
point that we have now reached all con-
siderations save those Of establishing
our unity in purpose and our determine
ton in the face Of foreign peril must be
laid aside
Tomorrow, when the issue Of peace or

The Coming Of the Slav.

that the Slavs are TO be the dominant
race of the future. He will find many

with him. Dr.. Mayo expects the Russians
to surpass the Americans. and his reason
for predicting that our nation will take
second place is our alleged commercialism.

American people TO sacrifice health and

people who think have long been aware of

Russia does not at present threaten TO

just waking up TO the fact that the Slav

The fact is that the ordinary man does
not take drink as a medicine or as FOOD
and he cares very little whether the phys
iologists choose to class it as stimulant
or as a sedative. If they wish to call II
"a narcotic which removes inhibitions' his
obvious answer is that he finds his IN

France and America After the War.

Elsewhere on this page we publish an IN
terview with NJ. Paul Painleve, the French
Minister of Public Instruction, OF Fine
Arts and of Inventions, which will be OF
great interest to all Americans who hope
TO see a strengthening Of the relations,
financial. commercial and cultural, between
France and the United States at the end
of the war. NJ. Painleve is a French
statesman who has come rapidly to the
front in the last two years lie was con-
spicuous in the movement which overthrow
the Viviani Cabinet and established the
stronger BRAND Cabinet in its place. In
the BRAND Cabinet he now holds three
separate portfolios. He is prominently a
man who looks ahead and who builds for
the future.
American opportunities in France will
be unprecedented after the war. The
French will need our capital, our manu-
features. especially machinery, and our
foodstuffs. They will gladly give us access
TO their markets in a larger measure than
ever before and will welcome a closer eX-
change of ideas and educational facilities.
They know that whatever has been the at
titude of our government Americans gen
orally have been their friends. Many Of
our citizens have contributed with mex
haustible liberality to help France care for
her wounded. She is grateful and viii
show her esteem and gratitude in practical

In discussing the organization of

Certain il is that the project of
recovering sunken ships, or the most
valuable of the treasures that have
gone down with them, is more feas-

Gently been made that it is now pos
sible for a diver to operate for a
limited time even at the great depth
of 900 feet below the surface. These
improvements are largely due to the
remarkable experiments in deep-sea
diving conducted under the auspices
of the bureau of construction and re-
pair of the navy department OF the
United States In 1914. Prior to this
time the greatest depth reached by
divers was 210 feet, two English Of
ficers having accomplished that feat
during a series of tests carried on by
