The Save a-Life League
tor OF The Tribune.

To the Editor OF The Tribune.
Sir: The readers Of The Tribune Will b
interested In a brief account Of the recent
organization Of "The Save-s-Life League
whose object IS 20 save those who, Il other-
wise unsided would be unable to save them.
selves from self-destructon. The work Of
the league has been carried on for some
years, in a quiet way, and many useful ly.
have been saved 10 the community. Suicide
is much more common In this country than Is
generally known. IL is conservatively ESTE
mated that from sixteen 20 twenty thousand
lives are annually sacrificed, largely because
Of the absence Of well-considered methods o.
timely aid to those in serious mental and
moral distress. In the city of greater New
York during 1915 there were nearly thou.
sand suicides and possibly an equal numes
Of, fortunately, unsuccessful attempts n
self-destruction.
The effort 20 reach those contemplating sui
cile, or of ministering 70 the spiritual and
other needs of unsuccessful suicides, orgi-
mated with the Rev. DR.. II. VI. Warren, who
is the president OF the league, OF which
R. W. Poor, president Of the Garfield Ma.
tional Bank, New York City, is the treasurer.
Dr. Warren, at his home, i0s West nth
Street, receives all callers and gives his per-
sonal attention 10 numerous letters OF in
quiry from those most urgently in need OK
qualified advice.
Applicants in need Of medical assistanes
are referred to DR.. Gregory. To any one
familiar with the lsmentable facts Of self
destruction there can be no question Of doubt
that many a valuable life may be saved By
timely assistance and advice. Many OF those
who commit suicide are persons Of un:ound
mind, or the feebly inhibited, who by proper
direction may be reclaimed for useful social
and economic purposes.
There are no salaried workers but the e1-
pen.e. OF the league are not inconsdersbla
All contributions are expended under The
supervision Of carefully selected board Of
directors. More adequate financial support
would very materially increase the public
usefulness OF the league. All inquiries. with
reference thereto, should be addressed 70 the

The Fact Remains

To the Editor Of The Tribune.
Sir: The attitude Of the inhabitants Of this
United States is fairly we'll indicated in your
editorial, What Must BE UNDERSTOOD OF
this mornings issue. Whether their sources
Of information are at fault or whether they
have not the depth of vision to see beyond
the daily issue into the possibility Of the
future, enjoying with closed eyes the safety
OF the ostrich, is Of little moment; the fact
remains they wish the issues of the Central
Empires to triumph.
Practically all Of those I have heard ex-
press these views are Of foreign birth or close
extraction therefroIn, and come from all parts
of continental Europe, and there are occa-
sonal examples from Ireland They have i'm
oibed the almost universally engendered hate
of Britain At some time practically every
country in the world, even her present allies,
has been the avowed enemy Of Great Britain,
and there is an Unborn nate that is learned
in fear at mothers knee and ground into
memory in childhoods games. Never have
they conceived that Britain might be right.
They have always been with the under dog
and they still figure the under dog is right.
To-day the Central Powers issue a defy
asking for peace. They state they did not
start the war, they do not want the war, and
they are victorious anyway, so quit fighting
or look out And our intense neutrals, with
the Hun flavor, rally to the chorus with all
the fervor OF their lopsded heart. They
actually believe II.
They cannot see that international law is
the real issue, that worldwide feudalism
is threatened. To-day in self-defence this
country is being forced to the very universal
miltarism they once have fed. Why car
they not see that it is not England, that it is
the world. They hate England; they will let
world civilization perish because she leads
the fight.
international Law, the comfy Of peoples, is
the real issue. Shall its tablets be estab-
lished and maintained by infringement or
shall they be thrown down when they fail to
