Internationalism.
tor of The Tribune.

To the Editor of The Tribune.
Sir Your beautiful editorial on "Tnterna-
tionalism' points out that poets and thinkers
everywhere have conceived of "a worldwide
republic Of letters and a cosmopolitan
recognition of intellectual superiority where
ever it may be found"
The Boston Encyclopedia OF Folklore has
just had another volume added to the stately
set that deals with Indo-Iranian, Armenian,
classical, Celtic, Germanic, Slavonic and
alien mythology. The survival of pagan
customs and superstitions is almost ex-
clusively German field of scholarship, yet
those books do not claim single Teutonic
author. II the economic boycott that was
unhappily planned at the Paris conference is
TO be extended TO the peaceful realms of
science, it will be the death blow of interna-
tionalism, which you so earnestly advocate

To the Editor of The Tribune
Sir: Will President Wilson answer these
questions? Why did you issue TO Germany
in undiplomatic, undignifed and belligerent
language the "strct accountability" note
Did you mean what you said? Why did you
permit Bryan % advise Dumba that this and
like notes were only for home effect? When
the Lustania was torpedoed and some hun
drcd American men, women and little chill
dren drowned by Germany, pitilessly and in
defiance of that note, why did you not make
your words good? Why did you not defend
American honor and lives. Why did you not
compel Germany to account? Why have you
permitted the CHASTITY outrage to pass with
out PREPARATION without even the poor salve
of an apology? Why did you announce, in
effect, that we were "too proud to fight?
America had been wronged and made
ashamed. Her children feel less than men
before the world. Losing respect and sub
jet to the sneers and contempt of nations,
inevitably lessen our self-respect. And loss
Of self-respect is one of the greatest disasters
that can come upon men and nations.

DANGEROUS TREATIES
Bryan's Peace-at-Any-Price Conventions
Should Be Abrogated.

To the Editor Of The Tribune.
Sir: Whether we, as a people, can come
back" or not is question. President VIII
sons Buchanan-like Administration has
dulled the American sense Of manhood.
One thing seems TO have been overlooked
those thirty contemplate peace-at-any-price
treaties negotiated by Bryan, with the ap-
proval of President Wilson and ratified by a
supine Senate, probably voted for by as many
srineless Republicans as Democrats.
Our country is in a dangerous position as
long as those treaties remain unabrogated.
Honduras, by action Of It's government, could
murder an American diplomat and then wait
year TO talk il over.
We must either endure insult and dishonor,
for which the present Administration is emf
nently fitted, or else dishonor ourselves by
not carrying out our solemn treaties. In
ether case we lose Men like Bryan, who
ever had the old-fashioned standards Of
honor, will, Of course, not mind this. But
there are others.
Another dangerous thing about the treaties
is that no powerful government will regard
them for a moment when desiring to at
tack u.s.
In fact, President Wilson even went back
on his own treaty in the Lusitania case.
Germany had accepted the principle of these
treaties informally, but had not actually
signed the treaty Yet no offer was made on
the part of the United States for a years
discussion.
In actual practice II turned out to be over
years discussion Of brave words on the
part OF our President, followed By humiliat-
ing backdowns which wrung the heart Of
every true American.
Cannot Mr.. Hughes be induced to promise
to enter into diplomatic discussions with for
eign governments when he becomes President
in an endeavor to abrogate these treaties by
honorable means and not wait until the time
they arise to plague US? D. p. SMITH.

Getting at the Truth. "

A difference Of opinion on the proper
treatment of septic war wounds has led to
quarrel of the liveliest sort between
Colonel Sir Almroth Wright, the eminent
pathologist, and Colonel Sir W. Watson
Cheyne, president Of the Royal College Of
Surgeons Of England. If the points at
issue are a little too technical for most
readers, a preamble TO Sir Almroth
Wright's latest contribution to the discus
sion should be Of some interest to a great
"the aims and ethics of polemical con-
troversy." For Sir Almroth Wright's
controversial propensities have carried
him on occasion beyond his own special
field, impelling him a few years ago to
compose, at great pains, portentously
solemn and pretentous discourse on the
psychology Of woman-of woman in gen
eral, be it understood, for had he confined
least would be satisfied that he had dealt
with a phenomenon manifestly within the
field of pathology
1t will interest those who were amused
by his pontifical judgment of the feminine
mind 10 find throughout Sir Amroth
Wrights discourse an ill-conccaled con-
tempt for those who have accepted con-
ventional opinions and dislike to be dis

Greece and the Entente.
the Editor of The Tribune.

To the Editor OF The Tribune.
Sir: The correspondent in this mornings
issue who takes The Tribune TO task for the
pro-Ally bias of its editorials shows into what
error those are liable to fall who in this war
make a virtue of stric: neutrality. To take
one instance alone. your correspondent con-
siders the conduct Of the Allies toward Greece
comparable TO the German violation of the
neutrality of Belgium. Those who have lived
in Greece and have acquaintance with the
Greek people know that however i'll the Off
cial government may have represented them.
the Greeks themselves throughout the war
have been heart and soul on the side of the
Allies so that there can be no question Of
violating their neutrality"
have before me a copy of the atlantis"
for September 23-the Greek newspaper pub
lished in New York City, and therefore pre-
sumaby rejecting current Greek opinion free
from bias due to pressure of Entente diplo-
mats in Athens. In its leading editorial occur
the following expressions Il quote literally
from the Creek:
Eve recognize the Allies as our champions
and leaders in the war. We are in
favor of entrance into the war on the side of
the Allies. and we reject every policy looking
TO the continuance of neutrality . Let
the Allies forget that there exists Greek
government pleasing or displeasing 70 them;
let them forget that there exists an official
Greek policy. advantageous or disadvan-
tageous to them. sincere or tricky, and let
them turn to the Greek people; let them
speak to the one and indvisble soul of the
nation. If they do not trust the official Greek
authority. let them trust the Greek people,
who will follow them for the sake of the ma
tional future to the ends Of the earth through
the midst of rivers of blood. And
then they will see whether Greece is Ger
manophile or 'symmachophile' devoted to the
Allies"
In the news columns of the same number
of the atlantis" we read that half of Greece
has already risen against the government in
favor of entrance into the war; and the rev
dictionary movement is likely TO spread to
the rest of Greece; that IN Athens the walls
are covered with placards bearing such in
scriptions as Draw your sword, King, or
abdicate." Has anybody ever heard OF an
uprising in Belgium on the part of Belglans
clamoring to be lea into war on the side OF
Germany? +. FRANCIS CLAFLlN.

in the last three years and half. He was
Obliged to fall back on things which Mr..
Wilson has said from time to time, In abso-
lutte contradiction of what he had done, was
doing and was intending to do. The Olney
summary of the Wilson policy is based on
phrases ASSOCIATED from and absolutely
at variance with the Administration acts.
The President has interviewed in Mexico
persisten .lv and continuously. The trouble
is that his intervention has produced no
results of value, because it was caprlclous,
irresolute and misjudged. Mr.. Olney COM
plains that opposition critics speak so often
of Mr.. Wilson's Mexican policy as weak"
"vacillating." "fatuous," 'insincere," in
constant" and Inconsistent" If that
policy had been clear and Ineligible, how
ever mistaken, there would be some reason
in asking that it be considered solely on
its own merits. But the fact is that it has
had no merits of its own because it has no
distinctive qualities or character of its own.
II has been a tumble Of contradictions, of
improvisations to fit every changing emer-
gency. 1t cannot be reduced to logical or
consistent terms.
All the epithets which Mr.. Olney quotes
can be applied to it with justice. 1t is not
what it is. His own elaborate apology for
it shows that it can be defended only by
denaturing and sophisticating it, trans
forming it from its own image into an
image of something which it is not and

Return, return 10 Hellasl Let your light
Shine through your sons! Dulled is the
shield once bright
With shapes of men and gods joined in the

OF battles by the dim Athenian shore.
Bring Agamemnon back again TO smite
The Teuton tyrant down the Stygian night
Bring back the gods that live for evermorel
Draw ye the true mans sword, that crystal

Wherein the best Of every nation shines,
And all your stars and dreams and victories

Like n dream that is more than n dream
White burn your shrnes
Lo, Delphi speaks, and the true time dvines
Draw ye, and smite the foe and Caiaphas

MIR. Wilson'S Dictatorship in Mexico.
the Editor Of The Tribune.

To the Editor of The Tribune.
Sir: When | read the following words by
President Wilson could not agree with him
I'VE have professed TO believe, and do be-
leve, that the people of small and weak
states have the right to expect to be dealt
with exactly as the people of big and pow.
erful states would be. We have acted upoi
that principle in the dealing with the people
of Mexico"
Does President Wilson imagine that he can
fool other than partisans by such words
Would he have dared to invade British ter
rtory without legal consent of the sovereign
power, as he did in the case of Mexico? |
think not, unless he desired to involve this
nation in war with Great Britain.
When 0lney, under the Cleveland Admin
istration, sent forth the ultmatum that the
United States was sovereign of two CONT
nents and must be obeyed, that indiscretion
built barriers that should be torn down in
stead of being made stronger By any Admin
istration, for even TO this day the blood
of South and Central America rises to white
heat at mention Of that utimatum. So it
was that of President Wilson in spite of
Cloaking sovereign right in fine words of
friendship meant my will and not your will
my conception, not your conceptions" in the
matter OF their revolution.
The Monroe Doctrine was created as
great protective measure against European ag-
gression. Wilson interviewed in apd invaded
Mexico because he believed that Mexico was
our inferior in all things and should be
built up according 10 his conception of gov
eminent. We may have Pan-American con-
crosses and call them by what name we will
and declare their intent is to protect and CO.
ordinate humane and business interests, but
while the spirit of the sovereign permeates
such would-be endeavor, the theory will be
tried out and found wanting

marine aground on bank near Saltholm, at
the entrances to the Baltic Sea, was tor

Sir: notice that you have recently pub
lished letters from pro-German contributors
protesting against your pro-Ally editorials.

About a year ago my attention was called
to an editorial in The Tribune. Previous to
that time had not seen copy of The Trib-
une for some months. Since then have pur-
chased and read il with great interest every
day.
