England and Ireland

must remember that many people dis
trust England because OF her policy
toward Ireland-promising Homo Rule
and then putting It Of until after the
war, putting Ireland under military
law on account Of a rebellion that only
included q few misguided people, and
now threatening her with conscription-

people and forcing the citizens to 60

We are selfish over here, and / feel
ashamed at the attitude OF many OF
our people toward England, which Is
really fghting our battle. But let Eng

people before she blames us. AT any
rate we are not engaged in depressing
any people on the face of the earth.

A Welcome to Sarah
Nrom tn. Philadelphia Inqutrer)


Mutilsted IN body, but resolute IN
spirit, the divine Sarah Bernhardt
comes back to visit us after a long
absence. Age has somewhat withered
her-there Is no doubt about tt
but custom has not wholly stalled her
infinite variety. She is no longer the
great genius who interpreted master
pieces OF dramatic art az almost no
other woman in history. Gone are the
classic roles, the romantic heroines
and the Sardou flashes of passion.
There comes, however. the patriotic
spirit and the devoted heart OF n
daughter OF France, who owes so much
TO her country and is willing in her
age 70 do her best for sufferers.
II has been arranged that Bernhard
shall not appear In any roles (which
shall violate even the spirit OF neu-
trality. She Is going TO use so much
Of her art as remains in pleasing her
audiences, TO the end that the suffer
ing heroes Of France may havo relief.
IL will not be expected Of hcr--it can
not be expected OF her-that she will
DO more than arouse enthusiasm for
her country and for the art Of which
sho WAS once the mistress. Even I'M
der all handicaps there is no doubt
that she will be able TO please.
No dramatic career in the history OF
the stage has been In itself more dra-
matte than that OF Bernhard She ha.
tasted all the Joys 81 public favor, she
has reached tho heights OF dramatic
success, she has known wealth and sho
has suffered losses. The fiery, untamed
spirit which has defed convention and
which has risked and won so much and
has known 50 many losses still sur
wives. Her crippled condition is pa
thotic, and but for the cause in which
she is engaged her appearances would
hardly Justify enthusiasm. Yet IL is
likely that her present tour will be the
most notable Of her career.

fear, Of the ways of pulling through
an attack of the blues. It Is OBJ
v;ously written for a sensitive, high
" strung race. It is equally unmis-
takably written for an unsentimen-
tai race, afflicted by no pretence OF
thought or emotion. Here are ugly
and dangerous facts. Let US put
them down in black and white. 1t
never occurs to the writer to pretend
that they are non-existent and con-
ceal them beneath the cant Of fine
phrases.
The English attitude toward the
same matters is distinctly different,
and, we suspect, the American, too.
The Anglo-Saxon tradition permits
no red-blooded male to concede to
himself or any one else that he can
be afraid. Even when he Is SILVER
ing in his boots from perfectly nat
ural and sensible instincts Of fear, he
must pretend that he Is bold and
calm as a lion. The resultant aver
age Of courage is not less admirable
than under the French code OF
straightforwardness. Neither, ac-
cording to the great war, is 1t more
admirable-which leaves the burden
Of defence on the side Of Anglo
Saxon pretence, we are inclined to
think.

The Iron Gates Of the Danube
from The Columbus (Ohto) Dl'pdteh

From The Columbus (Ohio) DI'pdteh)
The iron gates OF the Danube at
the junction Of the boundaries De-
tween Hungary, Serbia and Rumania
are so called not because OF pre-
cipi.ous shores, but because the chan
mel OF the river there Is filled with
great Jagged rocks that have rolled
down into II from the cliffs on the
sides. It is the defle through which
the great river makes its way to the
sea past the Transylvanian Alps.
For about two miles the channel Is
made very treacherous for vessels
navigating the Danube. In the midst
of the obstructing rocks lies the pict-
uresque little island Ada Ksleh, once
the possession Of Turkey and still
the home Of q colony OF 900 Turks,
who have continued to live there. OPP
posite the island and on the little
Bachna River, which there empties
into the Danube, is located tho little
Rumanian customs village OF Verc!-
orova, on the railroad to Bucharest
and 2s7 miles from that city.
Until 1890 no attempt was ever
made 70 abolish this serious menace
OF the rocks; the navigation OF the
river had to be abandoned for about
three months every year when the
water was at its lowest stage. In that
year a Hungarian engineering COM
pany undertook the dangerous work
OF clearing at least a safe channel
through the gates.
The problem was not thoroughly
considered, and, though ct great cost
a channel with ten feet Of water in
il throughout the year was secured
near the Serbian shore, it was found
that upon opening it up the water
rushed through it with such force
that, while tho river vessels could
pass through it all right, they could
not 60 up it against the swift current.
They were obliged, therefore, to
ascend the river as before, by the
general channel, and 100000 cubic
yards Of stone were removed, some OF
it hewn from the solid bed OF rock.
Three monarchs took part In the
celebration OF the completion Of the
channel-the Emperor Of Austria, the
King OF Serbia and the King Of Ru-
mania. Now that war exists between
these nations, the first attack made
by the Austrians against the Rumani-
ans was made at this very point,
where they Joined a few years ago as
peace-time friends.

Sir: Are we Q nation Of weaklings!
Have we any international morality,
any convictions, or are We too proud to
fight and more intent upon selling our
birthright for a mess Of pottsge while
the price is high! Have We no duty or
obligation to humanity, or shall we
feverishly hasten to make money while
the worlds best are being killed!
We have the testimony OF all return
ing travellers that we are despised for

money out Of the worlds Armageddon.

to speak, making hay while the sun

pirate, saving the unfortunates, so
that our President can solemnly say
that he thinks Germany is doing the
Job strictly according to the specifica-
tions as laid down in his note number,
shall we say, 1877?
Our Senate chamber resounds with
impsssioned words that the South will
not tolerate any interruption Of its
right to sell cotton to any one at war
prices, though little Is heard Of the
rights Of the massacred women and
children murdered at the instigation Of
the German government The pork
packers call loudly for relief: Ger
msny's needs are great and they are
willing to pay big prices, but England
is interfering with their rightful busi-
ness. So It goes.

SPUNK TO PROTEST
Milk Spillers Have Emphasized the
Vital Axrarian Problem
To the Editor Of The Tribune.

To the Editor Of The Tribune.
Sir: Tho Tribune said editorially on
October 8: an any case, the farmers
who are ssssulting their neighbors and
pouring milk on upstate roads are con-
tributing nothing toward an intelligent
solution of their problem"
Wrong for once, Mr.. Tribune man.
They contribute much-though in a
roundabout way. Their actions get the
farm problem into the public eye. You
teach that there is no use crying over
split milk. And yet when they spill
the milk in the road you make an out
cry. Thus you call national attention
to the dgrarian problem, which is a
greater menace TO our country than
Japs or Prussians. Once forced to the
front, tho question Is In a way TO be
finally solved and settled by brains and
patriotism.
WAS condemned to life in the dairy
industry through the accident OF having
been born on farm. This driven, de-
based and sordid life I fed from, and
now regard myself as an escaped con-
Wet. | have endeavored ever since by
tongue and pen to bring our terrific
problem before the metropolitan public.
Being a humorist | have lectured and
made after dinner speeches before some
of the big New York clubs, and while
these sleek, intelligent people laughed
at my humor they asked: "Why bring
the farmer in?"
What good did il do for few impo-
tent Belgians to resist with popguns
the giant howitzers Of inevitable Prus-
STA? Moral good that saved a world.
Did futile old John Brown contribute
anything to the settlement of the slave
question when with handful of Kan
sss roughnecks he attacked the whole
United States army?
Did the Lexington farmers contribute
anything from behind each fence and
fsrmysrd wall"?
Economic pressure to-day Is driving
Americans from the soil. Their place
is being taken by the downtrodden dregs
OF Europe. In the West it is Japs,
Chinese and Hindus from the Orient;
in the East, Portuguese, Italians and
other submerged peasant types from
South Europe. These people do not
read or write. Their physical energy
is so great and their standard of living
so low that they can subsist and thrive
where the American stock degenerates
and perishes under the strain. IfAmer-
lea is to be defender from the preda-
tory Prussian or other grabbers of the
earth, the american must not be driren
from his oIcn soil by economic oppres-
sion This is the crux Of the question
as ii would appeal TO The Tribune
Save the Anglo-Saxon by a square deal,
or he will be engulfed by harder peo-
pies schooled by centuries OF serfdom
TO endure oppression and TO breed in
captivity. The old American stock will
not breed in captivity They are all
being driven from the enslaving soil 10
the cultured city, where race suicide, so
called, puts an end to their strain.
Those that remain still have spunk TO
protest. c. L. EDISON.

policemen, doing their duty under or
ders, or it may come from Especial
deputies" armed with revolvers and
repeating rifles. Either way the
laborers meet opponents unframed
in such emergencies, prone to use
clubs and rifles at the slightest prov
ocation. Apparently the union creed
is that It is better to sacrifice few
laborers' lives and attain a certain
reputation for martyrdom in connec-
ton with rioting than TO assent 10
the creation of specially trained
and equipped state police to enforce
the laws justly against either party
in the labor dispute which violates
them.

The Need of State Police

As result OF the recent bandit
attack on the cranberry king" Of
Southern New Jersey, resulting in
his death, the Burlington County
Grand Jury has recommended to the
Legislature the formation of state
police force similar TO Pennsyl-
vania's. That Is a recommendation
in which war-stricken Bayonne might
we'll Join. Though the local police
and their special assistants have
managed TO quell the rioters there
temporarily, it has been at tremen-
dous cost. Three persons have lost
their lives and scores have been
wounded, several Of them dangerous
". There is no question that a body
Of trained mounted policemen, skilled
in all kinds Of emergency work as
state police must be, could have han
died this desperate situation from
the start with better results than the
Bayonne force and the rinemen who
Rad TO be mustered into service.
II is TO be hoped these two widely
differing instances Of the need for a
state police will impress the Legisla-
ture of New Jersey more favorably
than did the shootings in connection
with the Roosevelt strike few
months ago. A bill for a state po-
lice force was introduced, following
that disgraceful example Of the
breakdown Of the Especial deputy"
system in acute labor troubles. But
though the state policeman would be
n protection for the worker as well
as for the property Of the employer,
the influence Of the labor unions was
cast against the measure, and that
influence weighed more heavily with
the legislators than the need for eff
fectiyc preservation Of law and or
der in their state or the shining ex-
ample Of Pennsylvania experience
with her mounted guards.
Labor on strike and riotous Will

The Big Winter

Warm or cold, snowy or clear, the
coming winter is already taking
shane as one Of the biggest money
seasons that this town Of much
spending has ever seen. The thea
tres, opening with a very modest
percentage of worth-seeing shows
have done a land-office business The
shops are full, the hotels crowded
and the streets overlooking. Price
seems to be a minor consideration.
The open season for "spenders" is
on. and they are focking in to be
plucked in numbers and with a bank
account seldom paralleled before.
The amazing regeneration of Sara
toga Springs this summer was a
striking straw in the wind. This
once down-and-out resort Of our fore
fathers was turning them away all
summer. Horse racing furnished a
nucleus, but it was far wider pub
lie that focked in to revive the
plories of the COS and the 7O's in
this forgotten spot. The voice OF
new dollars crying to be spent was
heard In the land, and long patient
hungry Saratogans were swift to an
swer.
The million-share stock market
helped temporarily to absorb some OF
the country's spare cash. But as the
bull market has gone on and on with
out any large collapse, the net result
Of speculation and investment has
served only to increase the spenders
cash. Easy money, earned overnight
for the toll Of telephoning an order
to a stock broker, is about the
easiest to spend that there is. II
you haven't had experience thereof,
walk down Fifth Avenue any after
noon or up Broadway any evening
and see for yourself. Pyrannding
pleasure, unlimited, promises to be
the great speculative movement Of
this biggest Of New York's winters.

To the Editor Of The Tribune.

To the Editor OF The Tribune.
Siri | wish to ask you to voice
protest, and q most bitter protest,
against the declaration Of President
Wilson published this morning that
German submarines of any or all kinds
are welcome TO use our ports. am
sure I express the feelings OF millions
Of nv fellow countrymen and women,
real Americans, when | say we object
decidedly to be considered as aiding
and abetting criminals acting under
the orders OF the Prussian rulers OF
Germany. According to our laws they
arc criminals, because they have muir
dered and apparently mean to continue
to murder innocent men, women and
children lawfully passengers ~ mer-
chant ships; because they abandon
without consideration the crews OF yes
sells they sink, leaving them TO find
their own way TO safety In open boats,
no matter what the weather.
As former soldier myself and
descendant Of soldiers, !, in common
with most American soldiers, have been
taught that II we captured prisoners
we were responsible for their safety
until delivered to proper authority. Is
the safety of the crews of sunken YES
sells satisfactorily arranged when they
are abandoned in open boats in the
omen scar Now, IL soldiers of civil
lied army don't fight fair they are pun
ished by their officers or driven out OF
the army or the officers become parties
to the crime. II we accept the actions
of Prussion submarines as fair warfare
we are parties to their barbarous con-
duct and may be held responsible IN
the future.
But apart from any future responsi-
bility | do not believe the majority OF
the American people will countenance
that kind Of warfare. As these subma-
rines seem 70 be subject to no law
but their own sweet will, II any OF
them puts Into an American port or
interferes with American rights in any
way It should be held until It proves
that Il has wagsd war only as war
should lawfully and Justly be waged'
No boat whether she claims to be a
warship or mott that does not act &C
cording 10 the usages Of war as we
Americans understand them should be
allowed 70 use our ports.
We once cleaned out the Barbary
pirates because they did not treat US
and others with justice and according
to our laws. Shall we now give shell
ter and assistance TO ships that act
as pirates and outlaws, because II we
don't some voters may be disgruntled
