To the Editor Of The Tribune.
Sir: Some of the writer's of the local press
while indicating an open mind on the ques-
ton of an increase of price to the producers
for milk, arc inclined to protest against the
organization known as the Dairymens
League.
The milk producing farmers life and that
Of the members Of his family old enough and
we'll enough to work, has been as a general
rule hard one for many years. Theirs is
not an eight-hour day, or a ten or even a
twelve Often il reaches fifteen strenuous
hours in the season Of seeding and the gath
ering Of crops, and in the great majority Of
cases the financial outcome at the end of the
year is pitiable, for it often happens that the
receipts over the current expenses are not
equal to the going value of the farmers
labor. thus leaving no return for the use of
the capital invested, which is substantial
Any one familiar with the hesitation of in
surance companies to insure their buildings;
the savings banks and mortgage companies
to loan them money upon bond and mort
gage; the prices of farm lands in this state
as compared with forty years ago, and ap-
preciative of their untiring industry, econ
omy and practical intelligence as a class,
must suspect at least that they are not re-
ceiving a fair return for their contribution
toward the public veal Acquainted with
their splendid citizenship and their untiring
efforts for home and country from my youth
up, ! know that the value OF their contribu-
tion toward the general good has by far ex-
ceeded their reward.
A farmer, or all of the farmers of the
neighborhood, or even of county, may try
TO increase the price of their milk, but they
will only succeed in disclosing their impo-
tency. A few large distributors have here
tofore stated what the price should be and
that ended all discussion. The farmer may
point to the increased cost Of the feed he
must buy for his dairy, but it will not help
him, because the distributors know that his
land is not adapted to fruit growing or grain
raising, but only to the raising and keeping
Of cattle. But some will say, "If the price
paid him will not compensate for his labor
and capital invested, he can make butter or
cheese or raise beef cattle" There was a
time when he and his neighbors built and
operated either creamery or cheese fac
tory. Later, representative Of one of the
giant milk companies visited them and as
sured them of better results from a sale Of
the milk, so the plant was put to other use
or allowed TO 90 to destruction, and then
there was no choice but to take what was
offered for their supply of milk. As for the
raising of beef in this state, it is not practi-
cable. There are no longer local market
men who slaughter. They buy their beef
from the great houses of the country, such
as Armour e. Co.
The distributors are but few in number
compared with the producers. 1t seems to be
not difficult to bring about a meeting Of
minds on their part as to the price to be
paid for milk They lower and raise the

A Superhuman Genius ?

Mr.. Caspar S. Yost, noted as the editor
and expounder Of that loquacious and per-
picking ghost Patience Worth, has under
taken TO answer some sensitive critics
whose ears were shocked by the motley
STYLE he made bold to describe in preface
to her works as ain general the English
language Of about the time of the Stuarts."
In letter to "The Evening Post" he still
maintains stoutly that his original opinion
on her diction is one he has found no
reason 10 change materially; neverthe-
less, he admits in the same breath that
cher phraseology is for the most part
unique," and his critics could, after all,
hardly expect a more material modifica-
ton. Mr.. Yost finds authority in one pc
riod or another for virtually every word"
used by the ingenious Patience, but as to
her syntax he throws up his hands and
confesses freely that in the main it has
mo discoverable counterpart in the Eng
lish of any particular place or time"l
This disposes pretty thoroughly of the
arguments used by those who thought her
language evidential of her ghostly charac-
ter, though it does not at all affect the lit
erary value Of her writings. Mr.. Yost is
rather inclined to think it enhances it, "thc
chief wonder" Of her style being that it is
Of no age, yet 'is made the medium Of a
literature that is highly praised by many
critics" SO far, so good but delightful
as her poems and prose essays may be TO
many readers, would they have made much
Of noise without the suggestion of ghost
illness?
Mr.. Yost apparently holds that there is
still sufficient reason 10 credit their super
natural, or supernormal, origin; indeed,
her very inconsistencies strengthen his
faith He thinks "the imitation OF an
archaic literary style Of any definite pc
Rod is comparatively easy" because one
may be guided by "ascertainable rules" !;
that there would be no great wonder in
the language Of Patience Worth if one
could put finger on any locality and
time" The real wonder is that her style
"eludes location" and belongs, as n whole,

Immoral Gladness.
or of The Tribune.

To the Editor or Inc Tribune.
Sir: | read few days since a very clever
and, to my mind, just criticism Of Polly
anna" by Haywood Broun. | have seen sew
eral attacks upon it, but none supporting it,
and if the subject is not too worn | should
like to contribute a word TO the discussion.
Mr. Broun bases his criticism upon bet
ter knowledge of human nature than the
authors when he says that the doctrine of
perpetual gladness is immoral. Technically
anything that is false to truth is immoral,
and TO find something to be glad about
everything would bring humanity to a state
Of mind at once monotonous and unnatural.
People simply are not built that way. But
to my mind the literary psychology OF the
work is all wrong in that Pollyanna herself
is not true to child-life Where has any one
of your 100000 readers ever met a paragon
of goodness like her? And which one OF
them would want to? Children of that age
are not given to making missionaries of
themselves at least not for very long. They
do not possess the continuity of purpose, nor
would little girl with a really sensitive and
sympathetic heart, the only kind that could
bring gladness where it was needed, preach
il in the cold-blooded priggsh way that Pol
lyanpa does. Fancy being old and crippled
and being told by vigorous, pink checked
baby to be glad about it!
Mr.. Broun rebels against the doctrine of
"glad at any price" not, it seems to me, be-
cause he does not wish more gladness in the
world but because he would prefer to see
the sources of gladness increased, rather
than an increase of contentment with mis-
fortune. And in that the author follows les
ser theme. The play deserves all that Mr..
Broun said of it. He might also have said,
as he did of upstairs and Down." that
psychoogicaly it is bad art. Christ him
self was man of SORROWS.

THE FIRST CIVILIZERS OF EUROPE
From Thrace to the Armenian and Albanian
Races of To-day.
To the Editor of The Tribune.

To the Editor of The Tribune.
Sir: A correspondent recently pointed out
in The Tribune that the late Seth Low was
an ardent admirer of Armenian and Albanian
antiquities. Ii seems long way from Mount
Ararat to the seaclffs of Valona, yet both
countries have sprung from the same foun-
tain head, both historically and linguistically.
The first civilizers of Europe were not the
Hellenes as is commonly assumed, but their
Thraco-Illyrian cousins. The Thracians, be-
ing prosperous traders in antiquity, set up
mercantile depots in ancient Troy and Ar
menia. The early Greek settlers, restless
and progressive as they were. profted By the
commercial efficiency of their Ph9nician teach
ers, whose merchantmen carried Syrian dyes
and other Levant goods to every West-Hgean
port Thus ancient Greece became Keen
and troublesome rival of the old established
business world in wealthy Thrace. The ultimate
outcome of that constantly growing economic
friction was the Trojan War, the first trade
war ever waged in Europe. The day VIII
come when sacred lion falls" was Princess
Cassandra's prophetic utterance in the
Homeric rendering Her father, King OF
Troy, was Priam. The name slgnihes
buyer" in the Greek language, and seems
to indicate that the Trojans, at least IN the
opinion of Hellas, were nation OF shop
keepers.
Armenian, which Seth Low regarded as
one of the finest mediums of expression, is,
like the vanished Trojan tongue, derived from
Thracian, which, too, is long extinct, while
nlyran, the supple sister speech OF Ihra-
clan. has given birth to modern Albanian
Armenian and Albanian are kindred Ian
guages, but their common characteristics
are often buried beneath profuse over
growth of alien vocabes. The two countries
have been negotiating under foreign rule and
never had a real chance of developing their
wonderful national culture. 1t is sincerely
to be hoped that this war, which champions
lesser nationalities, will also give Aloanians
and Armenians, if not political independence,
at least a wide extension of local self-gov-
ernment ERNEST P. HORRWITZ.

An Author Regrets UnionizaiOn.

To the Editor Of The Tribune.
Sir: Though a member of the original
committee which submitted the report favor
ing utilization by the Authors League OF
America with the American Federation OF
Labor, I consider the proposal inadvisaole
under the existing circumstances, and am IN
favor of the league taking no further action
in the matter In making this statement OF
my present position wish it distinctly
understood that | am speaking only for my
self, and that in no degree do l pretend TO
represent the opinion of other members OF
the committee on affiliation.
Ny reasons for taking this position are as
follows: When the report fsvoring aftila-
ton was submitted TO the executive commit
tee il was submitted with a recommendation
that six months or more be given to the open
discussion OF the proposition before the
league as an organization should take any
action-and there was at that early time a
generally expressed opinion among the pro-
ponents Of the proposition that II during
this open discussion even any considerable
minority opposition TO the measure should
develop, we ourselves would do what lay IN
our power 10 defeat it. Our openly ex-
pressed position was that the unity Of the
league should be our foremost consideration,
and that we would oppose any course which
might threaten q serious split in the league.
To my mind, this open discussion ordered
by the executive committee has revealed that
degree of opposition to the proposal which
we had in mind as being sufficient to war
rant our coming out against our own meas
ure Personally l believe as strongly now
as did six months ago in the benefits that
would result from utilization, but since place
the harmonious development OF the league
above all else, it is my purpose to do all that
can as a member of the committee on
affiiation, and a member of the executive
committee, TO secure the formal withdrawal
of the proposal LEROY SCOTT.

Our Tiny Army.
lErom The Washinoton Post

From The Washington PoSt)
The total population Of Russia, according
to statistics for the year 1915 made public al
Petrograd, is 1s2.1s2,6o0 persons. This is an
increase Of SO 900 900, or 43 per cent, since
1897.
Out OF this population Russia has total
war strength estimated at 100000 men. Her
total available unorganized resources number
20 ,419 800 men.
At the present time Russia has in the field
not less than 100000 men, but it is her
army at peace strength that makes the most
interesting comparison with the resources OF
the United States.
Before the European war Russia had an
army Of 1,3S4oOo men. Thus, with popula-
ton less than twice as large as that of the
United States, her peace army was thirteen
times as large as the present regular army OF
the United States.
The same comparison might be made with
respect to the peace armies throughout
Europe Even Great Britain. depending
largely upon her navy, nevertheless had
peace army of 1875, 900 men, with 2,743,eS6 re-
serves. Japan had an army of 100000 men
and 1850, 900 reserves.
The army of Belgium before the war was
about the same size as the army Of the
United States. Sweden had a larger army
Rumania's was much larger and Turkeys was
three times as large.
Even the neutral nations OF Europe have
greatly increased the size of their armies
but while Congress provided for paper in
crease to $4,000 men, it was provided that
the increases should be made in alsotments
of 10000 men a year. Incidentally, very
little progress is being made with recruiting
and the army of the United States is still
one of the smallest in the world.
