Scraps of Paper
,ditor of The Tribune.

To the Editor of The Tribune.
Sir: Mr.. W. T. Osborn asks in The Trib-
une: How is it that France had line of
four mighty fortresses from the Swiss border
to the Belgian border and nothing beyond
that to the English Channel"
The question is very easily answered
France did not fortify her Belgian border be-
cause she knew that Germany, with herself
and Great Britain, had solemnly covenanted
not merely to respect the integrity Of Bel
GUM, but to uphold and defend it. France,
like the rest of us outside OF Germany, be-
lieved that treaties were made TO be kept. II
never occurred to her that they were scraps
Of paper" used in devilish game Of interna-
tional cunning and to be trampled on when
ever the players wished. If Germany OBJ
served her treaty about Belgium. France
could not possibly be attacked on that side,
and there was no need for Notifications there
The absence of fortresses on the Belgian
frontier is not, as Mr.. Osborn imagines, an
indictment of France, but il is, in the light Of
the events of August, 1914, a most terrible
and enduring indictment of Germany. When
Germany violated her treaty obligations 10
Belgium she assaulted the very foundations
of that good faith upon which human society
exists and human intercourse is made pos
sibe, and the injury will not be repaired until
the nation that committed it is made forever
incapable Of further deadly thrusts at the
heart of civilization. The Tribune was ex-
actly right in its brave and true utterance,

The Triumph of Golf

From The PuSbwO 0G-cfts TsmcSl
Howard W. Perrin, Of Philadelphia. newly
elected president of the United States Golf
Association, is introduced to the country as
a man who once ridiculed golf, called it an
idiotic game, tried il, liked it and became
'the most enthusiastic of golf enthusiasts"
There is nothing uncommon in that record.
Mr.. Perrin, We should say, is just a good
American Of sound sense. And he has lots Of
company, even in that which is now set for
ward as a popularity Distinguishing him. He
is not peculiar. He is progressive and brave;
at least he has the courage TO admit an error
when he finds he has made one. A fascinating
feature of the Abe Martin humor is the
naivet6 displayed in impressing the progress
Of the world How is this: "Who remem
bers when nobudy'd lend money 20 a golf
player?" Who does, indeed? Were there
any such? And what has become of them ?
They al are playing golf, and it probably
could be said as truly of most of them as Of
Mr.. Perrin that they are the most enthua-
astic Of golf enthusiasts"

BEGIN YOUR CHARITY AT HOME
In Helping Belgium Don't Forget the Silent
Poor About You
To the Editor Of The Tribune.

To the Editor of The Tribune.
Sir: The letter in The Tribune of Wednes-
day, November %, signed G.. w. c., has de-
lighted my very soul, for in it is so ably
expressed what l have long known to be
true
Though prosperity seems TO be raging
everywhere, it has carefully overlooked
many of our aged, sick and unfortunate.
Not the real poor class which does not
hesitate continually to lift up its voice and
ask for help and get it, but the educated,
refined and well born, who from one cause
and another suffer now privations and actual
want
For several years I have worked quietly
to help just such persons. for they are
not objects of charity in the real sense Of
the word, only sweet and patient, and bear
ing their sorrows nobly and uncomplain-
ingly,
By the help Of good friends I have been
able in the past to make glad many heart.
This year everybody is so busy in the mad
scramble to send shiploads to Europe that
have not received even one inquiry.
While talking to dear old lady recently
about the march of war through Belgium
she said she knew the damage could never
be retrieved, as she had mot yet recovered
from Sherman's march through Georgia, and
that has been, lol these ifty-odd years"
should like TO beg of the readers of The
Tribune that they hunt diligently this win
ter for the "silent poor" then make them
happy in the thought that we can spare
them, at least, little Of our sunshine
and worldly goods at Thanksgiving and
Christmas. There are hundreds Of little
children only waiting a chance to be happy.

Delenda Est Germania /!

To the Editor of The Tribune
Sir: In your editorial on German peace
talk published on Tuesday, November 81, you
say: mo one believes that Germany can be
destroyed" Allow me 10 differ with you.
Germany can be destroyed, and, unfortu-
nately, her vile conduct has shown the neces-
sity OF destroying her in order TO save civ
ilization from destruction. Her crimes have
made her very existence as a nation a men
ace to human liberty.
When the Romans said, "Deenda est Car
thago." they meant what they said-and they
wiped out Carthage. The Entente Powers
mean TO wipe out Germany-and they can
do IL VICTOR VANE.
