Wilson again and if the bosses succeed the
Republican party is going to have worse
defeat than in the last Presidential election.
For the stand that you have taken about
Mr.. Roosevelt | have ordered my ncwsdeacr
10 bring me The New York Tribune every

only newspaper read before. because It is
against Mr.. Roosevelt, the first American

The Wherefore of u Boat Warfare.

To the Editor Of The Tribune.
Sir In the German submarine warfare
the real object OF the Prussian authorities
doesn't seem to strike our people.
Germany and Austria have safely interned
in this country alone over sixty steamers,
and with what they have at home and IN
other ncutbal ports their merchant fleet IS a
large one. II they can keep these intact and
get out of the way great many competing
steamers they will be in shape TO handle
world trade at very advantageous rates TO
themselves after the war is over. This Is
Why Germany is sinking vessels under all
flags. II you will look over the reports you
will ind that boats arc sunk regardless OF
whether they arc carrying supplies 10 Britain
or not Boats from Norway TO South Amer
ica. Holland 10 the United States. India TO
the United States and many others have been
sunk Their object is 10 get rid of as many
vessels as possible. so that their fleet will b"
in better position commercially after the
var Before the war there was surplus OF
tonnage and n Germany can keep up her
present indiscrimnatc marauding her object
will be accomplished.
We stand by and give no official help 10 the
sea power who for years has been our friend.
The United states Navy should be the second
this country ever wake up and realize that
our interests. aside from any humanitarian
IDEAS. arc absolutely With the Allies?

Jesuitry!
To the Editor of The Tribune
hcrst, Mass, April 10, 1916.

To the Editor OF The Tribune.
Sir: To my mind the Germans have out
done the Jcsuits in Jesuitry, but in this tho
Germans arc outdone by The Tribune in it's
editorial of even date under the caption
"Fiction About the Gore Resolution Did
not this editorial slip in through some in.
advcrtence?
If The Tribune does not wish 20 remain N
the position of appearing TO assume that il Is
largely the organ of the ignorant. surely IT
will now let its readers know that II IS not
unaware Of the fact that the issue between
the President and Congress was raised By the
original Gore resolution. the sole purpose Of
which was to warn American citizens of
bclligcrcnt merchant vessels regardless of
their natural and legal rights and Of the
principles Of morality and humanity, and
that the threat Of war against Germany was
not added until it appeared that the Amcri-
can public would regard supporter Of the
original resolution as out Of place in the Con-
gross OF the United States. though perhaps
not unqualified for membership in the Reichs-
tag.
The modification Of the resolution by in
GLIDING a specific war threat against nation
if that nation did a certain thing IN the tut
ure. which it could not do unless Americans
disregarded the recommendation of their own
government. made il utterly ridiculous. No
sane American could conceive OF such an
abortion going through Congress. so that any
vote in its favor is quite beyond his compre-
henson 1t was anything but rational, but
perhaps Professor Munsterberg can psyche
logically explain it to the delight Of the Ger
mans. if not to the benefit or credit OF Messrs.
Gore. Norris ct al. HARRY +. GOULD.

THAT LOVE FEAST
Dinner for Roosevelt and Hughes to Be a Meal of Silence and Mystery and Much Whispering.

New York, June 28.-Republican politicians looked forward with inter- est today to the meeting tonight be- tween Charles E. Hughes and Theo- dore Roosevelt, when the republican presidential nominee and the man who as head of the progressive party endorsed his candidacy, will dine to- gether. It was announced however, that their meeting would be a "pri- vate and personal one" and that no statement would be forthcoming as to the subjects they may discuss.
 Other than this engagement, MT. Hughes. had none arranged for the day, but received a number of callers who came to his headquarters without appointment.

AID FOR THE SOLDIERS.
Matter of City Action to Be Discussed
 by Council Tonight.

The question of setting aside DOT tions of the department appropria- tiOns so that a fund for the relief of the families of soldiers may be guar anteed will be taken up at the ad- jOurned meeting of the common cOun- cil this evening. According to re- port, Mayor Quigley figures that a fund of between $25,0 and $30,000 may be created in this manner, but apparently the mayor has not taken the corporation counsel into the dis cussion. While there is no question that New Britain will do the right thing by it's soldier boys whether money can be severed from appro- priations in the wholesale manner suggested by His Honor in a burst of generosity is another matter.
 The appropriations were made as a city meeting for a specific purpose and it is exceedingly doubtful if they can be diverted without recourse to the taxpayers in city meeting as mbled.

DISARMAMENT HINT IN TANzER TRIAL
Slade Talks About Spielberg Re
 moved from Practice

New York, June 28.-A hint of an unexpected sequel to the trial of Rae Tanzer on a charge of having perjured herself in identifying James w. Os- borne as Oliver Osborne was given yesterday while Harold Spielbers was on the witness stand. MT. Spielberg was Miss Tanzer's lawyer at the time she signed a statement that she had made a mistake and that James w. Osborne was not the man she had known. The defence in the present trial insists that Spielberg used pres sure to get Miss Tanzer to sign this retrac ction, which she afterWard with drew.
 Benjamin Slade, Miss Tanzer's 8 counsel, asked Spielberg if he did not know that if guilty of such conduct as has been attributed to him he should be disbarred. Spielberg be- cafne greatly excited. Judge Wolver- ton ordered Slade to withdraw the question. The lawyer refused. If you are obstinate in this mat ter your refusal will remain in the record and you will take your chances. Go on with the witness," replied the court
 Spielberg admitted that he told Rae Tanzer that no harm could como to her if she confessed to having been honestly mistaken in the identifica tion of James w. Osborne. He added emphatically. that he was not the cause of her recantation.
 If James w. Osborne is the man." SDielberg said he told Miss Tanzer "say so But if he isn't the man get down on your knees and kiss his hand, because you can never undo the harm you have done him. No harm will come to you if you made a mistake and weren't trying to blackmail any, body"
 When Benjamin slade hinted that SpieIberg had not treated Miss Tanzer fairly Spielberg waved his arms and shouted:
 "You're the only man that ever charged me with anything and you lie when you say that" Judge Wolverton admonished Spiel berg not to use such language.
 Spielberg said that Miss Tanzer, aft CT telling him of her mistake, said she was too much of a coward to face the Shades with the admission of her error. So he sent for David Slade, who came to his office. " Good God, little girl, what have you done to me?' he quoted Slade You should have come to me. | could have convinced you that James w. Osborne was the man.
 q said to SIade: That's a hot one 1 Here's a girl that's been going with a man and you think you know him | better than she dOes.'
 James w. Osborne again took the 1 stand yesterday and declared, "On my 1 honor as gentleman, my word as a man and my oath as a citizen, never saw this girl (Rae Tanzer) before the
 day she appeared in United States Commissioner Houghton's office under arrest"
