Belated Conversion.
tor OF The Tribune.

To The Editor OF The Tribune.
Sir: Honest confession is good for the
soul" Mr.. Wilson's confession of a change
Of faith is commcndsblc. 1t is most I'M
fortunate that there is sort OF flavor Of
deathbed conversion.
How much effect did the uprising Of the
people following the 7. r. Plattsburg speech
have TO do with Mr.. Wilson's change OF
heart? How much aid the certainty that
the question of armament would become a
winning Republican issue in the 1916 cam
paign have to 90 with Mr. Wilson's right
about face? II will be remembered that that
Plattsbure speech was pronounced treason
bv one of Nr. Wilson's ofceholders.
Mr.. Wilson. in his address IN New YORK
makes another fnc-sounding phrase. lie
evinces a determination TO take up the sword
10 defend American honor" II quite equals
the "strct accountability letter IN martial
spirit: but, alas he is too late. The SWORD
should have been taken up when the honor
of our nation was assaled Mr. Wilson, even
If he desired (Which nobody believes, could
10 more bring back our honor sacrificed man
he could bring back TO life the American
men, women and children sacrificed by MS
cowardly policy Of three years.
Mr.. Wilson's conversion comes too late 70
save himself or the party which Endorsed his
policy. The American people have long since
settled that. His present effort 70 carry
water on both shoulders IS Characteristic,
but il will be unayailing We doubt his sin
ceritv: VIC know the man AMtEICAN.

Draining a Sea of Vodka

FROM me ffttcdsiphid Lager
The Russian government, as a result Of the
prohibition Of the sale OF vodka, has on hand
2GO, 900 gallons Of that liquor. Narou.
uses are proposed for it. One inventor has
devised process for converting the liquor
into india rubber Others have found it OF
utility a. fuel oil for motor cars. The
Finance Minister is in favor OF destroying il

amount prove temptation 20 some mpover-
ished administration in future 10 profit by
the monopoly at the expense of the souls and
bodies of the people. The net profit TO the
state from the sale Of vodka IN single year
has risen as high as s290,0O0000 at least
The vodka bottle had become household god
among the peasants and was the most con-
spicuous furniture of every parish feast. I he
reason was not far to seek. II contained
from 40 to 81 per cent OF alcohol, distilled
from potatoes or rye. Its autograph was
writ large in an eufeebled, neurasthenic pop
uation ard the partial paralysis of indus

crime and uncomfortable excess Of every
sort. To change vodka into such useful sub
stances as rubber and fuel is triumph com

A COWARDLY SCUTTLE
The Shameful Purpose to Abandon

To the Editor Of Tho Tribune.

To the Editor Of Tho Tribune.
Sir: The Filipino question rs " no"
.tonds i, one Of the strongest proofs we
could have regarding the lack OF sincerity
20 well VA capacity, Of n very large percent
ago Of our politician Statesmen. Inc sell
complaccncv and conscious or unconscious
hypocrisy with which they put forth thclr
,easonq is shameful They know that the
ilipinos have not yet attained the capacity
hat would 1T them for sclf-government
Nor would they have the ability to MAINTAIN
their independence against the aggression OF
n strong power.
To withdraw our flag from the Philippine
Islands would be n cowardly act. II would
mean that we arc willing TO sacrifice the
wcllbcinc Of several millions Of human be-
,ngs to escape IA possible danger IN future
This idiotic policy would be sure to involve
them in the very danger they are trying TO
escape. Remember. We have other ISLANDS
IN the Pacific besides the Philippines! "
We begin retiring before imaginary agrees
sion. where will We stop?
We are rendering the Filipinos an in
cstimablc service. and no country IN the
world can furnish better teachers than we
can. with a sensible policy We can develop
j large oversee trade.
Il is n mistake to suppose that the Amer
lean people wish TO Withdraw from the Phil-
;npines The advocates of retirement take
too much for granted.
II Is time that the friends OF the filipinos
we're heard from, and trust that The Trib-
une will be among them. ". W.

Monroe Doctrines Coming Test.
IRON IN, Washington Postj

IRON Ih> Washington foifl
The opponents of stronger navy forget
that the United States is responsible FOR the
independence Of every nation in the New
World. 1t is the voluntary protector of one
half OF the world. The defence of New York,
San Francisco and other American ports is
not enough. An attack b. European or
Asiatic power upon Buenos Ayres or Nalpa-
raise. preliminary TO conquest, would have TO
be met by the United States navy. Such an
attack would be blow at the United States.
The assault would be repulsed, not simply
for the sake of Argentina or Chill. but for
the sake OF this nation. which cannot remain
safe and permit American democracies to be
supplanted by empires and monarchies. The
Monroe Doctrine was never more alive than
~ is to-day. II was never more necessary.
The supreme test OF its effectiveness may
come during the present war in Europe Or
Immediately thereafter.

BOYS IN TRENCHES
AND JUNKET ENDS
Peace Voyage Over But Com
mission viii Cost Ford
$1,000 Weekly
BY Charles P. Stewart.

Omitted Press staff correspondent
The Hague, Jan. 15.-The Ford peace
iunket is at an end--and the boys are
still in the trenches.
Delegates packed madly today, joyous
at the thought of seeing before another
weekend the Statue of Liberty looming
out over New York bay. They did
their farewell sightseeing, and planned
to 90 to Rotterdam this afternoon
where they will board the Holland,
American liner Rotterdam.
Several of the leaders, however, are
remaining TO help start the permanent
peace tribunal, through which the De-
troit anto man hopes to bring nearer the
day when peace will be again real
ity. This tribunal, however, will hold
no sessions for several weeks. The
Scandinavian nations have not named
their members and no word of accept
ance has come from former Secretary
of State Bryan, Miss Jane Adams,
Henry Ford, DR.. Charlesw F. Aked, nor
Mrs. Joseph Fels and other American
members. Schwimmerites and anti
Schwimmerites are fiercely contesting
over the first three places on the list,
as it is expected they will not accept.
The permanent tribunal will probably
cost Ford 81 900 weekly.
