Stand by the President!

To the Editor Of The Tribune.
Sir: Your continued editorials Of viliiica-
ton of President Wilson in and out Of season
are such as to disgust decent men. irrespec-
tive of party ahiliaton. That their purpose
is partisan IS apparent to all familiar with
the press, but your writings through the
venom disclosed will, think, defeat the pur-
pose aimed for
Liberty of the press does not warrant
license, as some editors would appear to
believe Rather, by reason Of the more or
less brief power vested in them, should they
be more temperate than the individual. At
this critical juncture in our country's history
we should show united front rather than
play for party advantage at the expense Of
serious affairs.
The little mind has a narrow outlook and
caters TO its kind. The Tribune no longer
carries the weight force of a quarter CEN
tury ago, which is reflected by its editorial
policy.

The Beri-Beri Ship.

In these fiat days when most Americans
feel as if the world had passed them by
the sensations of the small boy kept home
from the biggest fire the town has ever
seen are quite different but not altogether
disproportionate in size-it is slight COM
pensation to have ship of storms and
trouble enter port. The American wind
TANNER Triton, eighty-three days out Of
Liberia, sailed by the cook and captain
after the rest Of her crew came down with
beri-beri, may never be celebrated in song
or story, but she ties up with the great
feet none the less. Albatross or no Alba
tross, we will back her even against the
one celebrated painted ship upon
painted ocean" for sheer romance.
That is because the hardest, rawest facts
of death and disease take on haze of
terror and beauty when the salt sea is be-
meath them Perhaps not for the inlander
who has never shifted low tide or run his
eve around a fiat horizon. But any boy
who has ever sailed a catboat across Nan
tucket Sound knows the difference. The
first slosh of waves beneath her bows
marks the beginning of a new life. Ever
afterward the thrill is there, whether the
masts wave upon real ocean or upon
page of print. The plain sight or the
hard facts are enough. The mysticism of
"The Ancient Mariner" spoils the reality
of what might have been the greatest of sea
romances. 1t is precisely because Joseph
Conrad constructs first Of all solid, vivid
facts of the sea that his work vibrates with

realistic method with which the lips of

Sir: As there are many magnanmous and
philanthropical persons in this country who
have keen sense of justice and are over

it ia my belief that if an american civiliza-

sanctioned by many and contributions would

LET CANADA FIGHT FOR US
A New and Simple Solution Of the
Mexican Problem.

To the Editor of The Tribune.
Sir: The further south General PershIng
advances in Mexico the longer his lines OF
communication become and the greater the
forces needed TO secure them. Reinforce
ments have continually been sent to him. ou'
low he needs more men, and because Of the
smallness of our mobile army the point has
been reached where there are practically no
regulars left for US 10 send Moreover, the
state militia cannot be used for service out
side our boundaries.
This being the case. what simpler solution
Of the difficulty than to hire Canadian troops
now training in the Dominion 20 fight our
battles for US? This would be good scheme
in many ways:
I They arc near By and Immediately avail
able.
>. Although not quite ready for European
service. they have had ample drill and IN.
struction TO be able TO cope with bandits ana
guerllas.
3. There are presidents for the use of mer-
cenaries in war. Recall the Hessians VINO
fought against US in the Revolution.
4. The Canadians would not engage IN the
excuses and wholesale footing that marked
the conduct OF the Hessians.
;. There would not be any plumber 70 oo-
tain from starving, impoverished poems
6. The Canadians would get valuable eXpe-
rience for future service in Europe.
7. We can easily afford to hire them.
&. Finally. there would be great saving in
American lives.
Hence. viewed from every standpoint. the
proposition will be of mutual advantage.
and our intelligent, patriotic and pork abhor-
ring Congressman would do well to weigh
il carefully.
OF course, some may think it an anomaly
for a wealthy nation OF hundred million
people not to have regular troops enough 10
police our border and run down single out
law. 1t is not an anomaly. however IS
paradox. The greatest teachers, it will be
remembered. often employ the paradox. and
Woodrow Wilson is great teacher. Ga the

gogical line ought TO be recognized by sub
stantial offers from the academic world.

Tapping New York's Water Mains.

There could be no reasonable objection
to the Coffey bill. pending before Governor
Whitman, permitting Westchester commu-
mites TO tap New Yorks water mains. if
it included a provision for adequate pay
ment and contemplated some supervision or
limitation of the water taken, so that this
city might not suffer. These things have
no place in the scheme. This bill is OPP
posed by the authorities Of New York City
and objected to by the taxpayers here be-
cause those seem to be precisely the pos
sibilities the Westchester communities wish
to prevent.
Westchester's statement that New York
has largely preempted possible sources of
water supply for the neighboring coun-
tvs communities is true. 1t is likewise
true that New York has incurred cost

Britain's Recruiting Problem.

Considering what happened in the Brit
ish House of Commons on Thursday 1t IS
difficult to understand what purpose there
was in the secret sessions Of Tuesday and
Wednesday. 1t is probable. indeed, that
some matters were discussed which could
not conveniently be published at this time.
but as a means of securing harmony Of
opinion the secret sessions were ridlcu-
lous failure. 1t was only by withdrawing
the latest proposals for dealing with the
recruiting crisis that the government was
saved from defeat.
There is, indeed, little hope. by secret SEES
sions or any other means, of hitting on an
acceptable compromise. The governments
attempt to correct one blunder by commit
ting another was hopeless from the first.
The married men had been dealt with I'M
fairly. The pledge that was given them
was not kept, and their complaint was
abundantly justified in view Of the posi-
tive assurances of several ministers. The
compulsory measures by which it was
sought to enlist the services of single men
were obviously futile But the subsequent
proposal to extend the service Of men
whose period of enlistment had expired
and to press every unmarried man into
service was questionable eXpedient which
was certain to arouse the opposition OF SIR
Edward Carson and others who had advo-
Gated the policy of equal sacrifice"
This policy consists in amending the
military service act so as to require equal
sacrifice by rendering all men of military
age liable for military service while the
war lasts. Those who support this pro-
posal hold that in no other way can Britain
hope to fulfil its obligations. Sooner or
later the government will be obliged to con-
slider some such plan as this, which has the
support of a considerable majority of the
Unionists in the House of Commons.
The one fact that cannot be denied Is
that there is an urgent need of men. Mr.
Asouith and all of his colleagues are well
aware of this but they have been tinker
ing with the problem instead of dealing
with il boldly. There is no hope of salts
fying every one by series of miserable
compromises, and in the mean time the need
becomes every day more urgent. Unless
Mr.. Asquith makes up his mind to provide
practical means to meet the emergency the
government must inevitably fall.

We arc all food consumers. We all know

Conservation That Kills.

From Just what topsy-turvy philosophy
the State Conservation Commission drew
its decision to slaughter the two hundred
wild deer of Shelter Island we do not
know. Killing your patient to save the
trouble of curing him seems the theory
closest akin. Burning down all your for
ests in order TO start fresh covers much the
same ground.
Nor do the excuses offered strike us as
very solid. To wipe out the herd its mem
bers will have to be cornered, driven into
some one spot and. once cornered, deer are
not exactly man-eating tigers or rhInoc-
crosses, beyond the ability OF hunters 10
capture safely. There are plenty OF forest
preserves in the state where the deer are
sadly needed. To wipe out so large herd
means to undo the work of years. Is 1t too
much to ask of State Conservation Com
mission that it approach its problems with
a little less powder and a little more
brains?
