Missouri, which was admitted TO the Union
as state IN 1920, is preparing TO properly
observe the centennial, and the State His
torical Society has appointed committee Of
one thousand TO have general charge of it.
Maine and Missouri were admitted as states
at the same time as compromise measure.
Maine came into the Union as free state
End Missouri as slave state. The admission
Of both of them az the same time prevented
giving the slavery party two additional votes
in the Senate and did not disturb the balance
Of power between the two parties as it then
existed. These two states therefore have
much in common, although they are unlike
in many ways. Their admission 20 the Union
Of states followed three years Of conflict in
Congress such as never attended the admis-
sion Of any other states. The observance OF
the centennial of their admission will attract
nationwide attention. Maine will, of course,
plan some kind Of TN observance. II may take

but did not know how to disprove your

Rochester, y. Y, Dec. 3, 1916
THE clipping inclosed consisted in great
part of an extract from "The New inter
national Year Book for 1915 dealing with
the circumstances under which the Allied
troops landed at Salonica. There IS nc
doubt that Venizelos, representing the
Greek government, did sanction the idea
of a landing by the Allied forces. Subse-
ouently formal protest against the
landing was issued-as a result OF the
tardy interference of King Constantine
who also forced Venizelos out OF the
Premiership.
As to the fact of the sanctoning of the
landing by the Greek government, Wis
count Grey said in statement issued on
December 8: ITO this it may be replied
absolutely, without the possibility of con
troversion, that our troops went to Salon
lea with the express approval OF the ther
L A. Goal, ,ro,arppnant and that he
had himself suggested the stipulation II
the Greco-Serbian treaty for provision
by which the Serbian governments needs
could. in view Of the default OF Greece or
this point, be fulfilled by the dispatch into
Greek territory of an equivalent force by
Great Britain and France"
An interview with Count Mirbach, the
former German Minister at Athens, who
was deported by the Allies, sent by wire,
less from Berlin and published in 1.-The
New York Globe" few days ago, con-
tanned this passage:
Greece, he said, had made mistake
when it invited the Salonica landing.
"Did the King know of that invita-
tom asked.
"He may or he may not Probably nc
did not, and, if he did, it was put up to
him in such way that he did not under
stand the true significance Of the move
Probably he thought protest would suf-
flee to show his neutrality, for in those
DAYS protests still amounted to something
It is immaterial what the King thought
so long as the invitation was issued by the
constitutional spokesman for the Greek
government.-Ed.l

. Protecting Law-Abiding Negroes

To the Editor OF Inc 1rlDune'
Sir: The manly, courageous and statesman
like attitude that Governor Richard l.. Man
ming of South Carolina has assumed toward
the recent lynching of respectable negro in
that state cannot bat help spread an influence
that is calculated to do much good. The firm
position that he has taken in his desire to
see those who participated in the lynchlng
are duly punished has been made unmstak-
ABLY clear. He feels bitterly the stain that
has been placed upon the good character oil
the commonwealth, and he has not hesitated
to make known that the state as represented
by him does not countenance lawlessness, but
that il proposes to stand by policy tnat
makes the rights and lives of the negro in
the state as safe and secure as those of other
citizens. He recognized the danger Of a sys-
tenn that would permit negro Of the caliore
of Anthony Crawford who by his effort had
secured fortune of $4,000, TO be lynched.
When it was learned that his sons, daughters
and relatives were ordered TO leave their
home in Abbeville, s. C., Governor Manning
Immediately called the leading and most in
fuential citizens of that state together and
passed a resolution which provided for the
complete safety of the family of Crawford.
The attitude our Governor has taken is an
attempt to keep the record of the state clear
of anything that would lower its high stand
ard. The negroes of South Carolina are a
thrifty, cultured and fine type of people, as
is readily seen by the number of good homes,
churches, schools and colleges that are sup
ported by them.

ERADICATE SENSE OF INJUSTICE
Help the Legal Aid Society Garry On 1t.
Work
To the Editor OF The Tribune.


Sir: May trespass upon your space to
make a special appeal for contributions tc
the Legal Aid Society to enable it TO meet its
current expenses to the end Of the year
The amount needed is the small sum OF
$4,000.
There is so little that is spectacular about
the work Of the society that it is sometimes
difficult to arouse a general interest in its
activities. That it has many good and gener-
GUS friends is shown by the fact that, with
but a small endowment mot quite $4,000
il has been possible to carry on a work which
for many years has required over $4,000 a
year to maintain.
The contributions come from a compare
lively small circle, and we feel that fuller
understanding Of our purposes and accom-
plishments should find Us many new friends
Each year for number Of years the society
has assisted over 10000 clients. This year
the number IS already nearly $4,000, with one
of the busiest months of the year in store
These clients are OF the very poor, whose
claims are insignificant TO the practising law
yer. The money claims average less than s.
a case. Too often they arise from the fraud
deception and oppression frequently practised
upon the poor and ignorant Often the loss
of the amount involved, small as it seems
means a weeks partial starvation for the
family Of some honest laborer.
But the rghting of so many wrongs has an
even wider effect than the comfort and salts
faction Of the society's clients It teaches
the ignorant and oppressed, so often the prey
Of demagogues, that justice can be obtained
by the poorest and that no wrong is so insig>
nifcant as to be ignored by our courts.
Our hospitals treat the sick poor for the
ailments Of the body. But no disease is more
dangerous 70 the community than a highly
developed sense Of injustice. A man suffer
ing under the smart Of q wrong is liable 10
become dangerous citizen, with anarchistic
tendencies The society believes II is doing
its part in curing this disease by helping to
eradicate it's chief cause and by substituting
in its place n true respect for our institu-
tons. This, we believe is teaching the bes,
and truest kind of Americanism. VIII not
YOUR readers help US TO make up the small
sum necessary TO continue our work until
the frst Of the year?

Some conscientious souls are indeed for
meeting him half way. They have de
clared themselves willing 20 give up the
worst Of the Hun composers and to dc
their best TO compromise with the rest
Their ways Of establishing a reasonable
compromise vary according to their tastes
some conserving TO the exclusion OF
Strauss and the living Germans as active
enemies, some agreeing 20 the elimination
of Wagner, others advocating the exclu-
sion only Of his more dangerously Ger
man operas while insisting on the reten-
ton Of Tristan" or whichever happens to
be their own favorite.
\ few have sought 10 justify their lik-
ing for German music by discovering
traces of foreign blood in their pet COM
posers. but they have not met with much
success. The assurance that Beethoven
family on his sire's side is ultimately
traceable to a village near Louvain may
have satisfied them that they had a per-
feet right to enjoy his work, but upon the
whole attempts to denationalize Germanys
extraordinary contribution TO the music OF
the world have been a miserable failure.
The controversy recalls another that be-
gan long time ago in one Of the medical
journals over German measles. A patriot
was for abolishing the popular name of
the disease as distasteful TO the innocent
victims. 1t was generally agreed in the
end that the name was what troubled
them least, and that, after all, it was no
great compliment to the enemy. If the
thing itself could be abolished it would be
different. The abolition Of German music,
however, could not possibly injure any one
but the boycotters. Sensitive people might
perhaps try abolishing programmes for
the duration Of the war.

A Non-Union Worker Protests

To the Editor of The Tribune.
Sir: When will the newspapers of this
country stop insulting the working people
By continually referring to the unions az
"labor"? For every member of the unions
there are ten working people outside Of the
unions. II the American people were con-
tinually referring 10 few anarchist news
papers as the press, how would the other
newspapers like il?
It is time to call a spade spade To call
the acts of the unions the acts of labor is an
outrage on non-unionists. Honest, self-re-
specting law-abiding American working peo-
pie do not indulge in disgraceful picketing
and brutal strike riots to deprive other peo-
pie of their constitutional and lawful right
to work; neither are they trying to set up a
rowdy government. T. L. MURPHY.

Canadian Troops and Germans Bat
ting Fiercely on Ypres Salient.
Violent Artillery DIeIs Along
Russian Front.

London.-The region of Vaux and
Damloup, northeast of Verdun, has
been the scene of further futile at
tempts of the Germans to pierce the
French lines. All the attacks were
set at naught by the French fire, ex-
cept night attack between Damloup
and Fort Vaux, where the Germans OBJ
tanned a foothold in French trenches.
From these, however, they were i'm
mediately driven out by counter
attack
The Canadian troops and the Ger
mans have been battling fiercely on
the Ypres salient The German guns
opened up several days ago, deluging
the Canadian positions and the sur
rounding territory with, shells. Then
the German infantry advanced along
an extended front of almost two miles,
capturing trenches. In series OF
counterattacks, in which bombs and
bayonet played an important part, the
Canadians regained most of the lost
ground and have reorganized their po-
sitions.
On the Russian front violent ar
tillery duels are going on in the Bes-
sarabian and Volhynian sectors. Sew
eral Russian infantry attacks against
the Austrians were repulsed.
The Italians in the region of Arsi-
ero are holding the Austrians from
further advances in the desperate
struggle that is going on in this re-
gion. The Austrians, with large eff
fectives, attempted to break through
the Italian line in the direction of
Onaro, but were driven back The
bombardments are still heavy on the
other sectors of the Austro-Italian
front
According to unofficial advices from
