The Conspiracy Against Sleep.

The eminent restaurateur Of Broadway
who saw a German conspiracy in the COM
plant of an inhabitant Of a nearby apart
ment house follows the sound military
theory of always attacking. But the move
is tactical solely. Everybody in New
York not congenitally and totally deaf
knows that the one great conspiracy OF
our metropolis is against sleep. There is
neither nationality nor politics IN this
campaign that never ends. Such sweet
strains as this particular restaurant sheds
upon surrounding apartment house dwell
ers may be French or Chinese. They help
swell the great bang-whang, boom-ter-ray
in which, night and day, New Workers
possess their souls.
"An early-morning madhouse that ought
to be put into a deep wood far from hu-
man habitation," was what the COM
plainant called this particular restaurant
before the magistrate. But why swallow
all the unnumbered miscellaneous boots
and toots and clangs and tinkles that fill
our atmosphere and strain at one mad
house? No doubt this particular form of
bedlam keeps going little longer and
earlier. But all noise is relative, and we
have no doubt that if the present uproar
persists for a few generations especially
thick and insensitive ear drums will de-
velop corresponding to the callous spots
we already wear upon our souls-and
what New Yorker, even now, could sleep in
genuine, utter silence?
No. New York is already and every
where and all around the clock a mad
house in respect of noise and nobody can
rightly complain.

Governor Hanly', Unique Gesture
CFrom The Boston HeraId)

Oovernor Hanly is a man Of a single ges-
ture. His left hand is the anvil, his right
hand the hammer He presented Fairbanks
in q speech Of tedious length. The great con-
vention was unsympathetic. 1t was eager fol
him to get through.
After he had pounded down his truths fol
some time group of waggish individuals, led
by Colonel Frank Knox, then delegate from
Michigan and now editor OF "The Manchester
IN. H. Union" began to chorus with the
sneaker in the hammer and anvil gesture. II
was not long before every time Hanly brought
his right hand down on his left 500 other
persons were doing so, and eventually 5000
This turned his solemn passages into an occa-
sion Of unmixed merriment, until our own
Senator Lodge, the chairman Of the conven-
ton, was obliged to interrupt the speaker to
call the house to order, even threatening "a
clear the galleries.
We should accordingly advise Mr.. Hanly in
his appearances on the stump in this cam
paign to develop some diversity in gestures
In this respect he could take our own former
Governor as model. While he has never
enjoyed any technical instruction in elocu-
ton, he speaks with ease, using no gesture
which any Of his hearers can remember or de-
scribe. That is fundamental OF oratory-tO
use the gesture so naturally that everybody
forgets its presence.

REGRET FROM AN ANTI

IN. Editor Of The Tribune.

To the Editor Of The Tribune.
Sir: Such prominence has been gwen 70
the question Of woman suffrage by the al
yocacy of the Federal amendment by mr
Hughes that feel it my duty to express
nv regret for the stand taken by him on
the question, which so vitality affects no'
only the women, but the Constitution o'
the United States.
| cannot see the justice in forcing Fed
eral amendment upon states which nave
given such overwhelming majorities sgaihS'
any question as have been given against WON
an suffrage Would a successful candidate
for Office or those who elected him con
slider il lust and fair that, in spite OF the
wishes of the majority who have elected MIN
to office, minority are to say that his de-
feated opponent should occupy the position
rightfully belonging to him?
Would Mr.. Hughes, for instance, II ne
won the election by a large majority Dc
satisfied to retire in favor Of Mr. wilson
if the lattcr's supporters made enough NOISE
and disturbance about it?
II a cause is right, why not win fair
victory in fair way? State by state, that
is all we ask who oppose it,
This is question not Of men against
women" but of different viewpoint among
women themselves. The women who are
opposed feel they are fighting for the pro-
lection of their homes, their sex and their
country Women oppose this dangerous
movement because they know that 1t Is
fundamentally wrong-and a thing funda-
mentally wrong can never be right.
The men voted at the recent elections as
their women asked them to vote. The
suffragists were given every opportunity 70
prove their case to the electorate. No OBJ
stacles were placed in their path. They
asked the legislators not to decide 1t, but
to allow the people to vote on it. The
voters have expressed their will in no I'M
certain terms. Now the sufragistt wish to
override that will and try to get their way
through the source they once scorned to
have decide it.
The amusing part Is to see the suffragists
clinging for power to their present mon
partisanship"-th very thing we claim we
will lose as women, if we are thrown into
politics. The tremendous power that wom-
en- now hold will be lost forever with. all
women either Republicans or Democrats.
This idea of a "womans vote" would be
ludicrous if it were not so pathetic to see
how some who should know better actually
believe in it. What woman would allow
another woman, or body of women, to die
tate to her? She might allow man to do
so, but not woman.
And, by the way, where are the men?

Funeral Moving Pictures.

To the Editor of The Tribune.
Sir: | have noticed in the papers recently
several protests against the suggestive and
oftentimes immoral scenes introduced into
otherwise hgh-class motion pictures.
add my protest Are acts Of libertinism
pleasing to the majority Of people?
1 wish further to protest against the death
and burial scenes that occur in nine out Of
ten Of the motion pictures.
Why is nothing left to the imagination
The last terrible moments, the CHASTITY faces
on the pillows, the drawing up of the cover
and the weeping of the relatives; often the
digging of the grave and the mourners
around the mound-all these details are
minutely carried out. Do motion picture au-
diences enjoy having their emotions played
upon in this way Cor have they no emo
tions)?
Can it be that scenario writers and the
men who produce motion pictures have never
been bereaved themselves that they portray
so glibly these narrowing scenes?
After a great loss in my own family the
two of us who are left have lately turned
to motion pictures to get away for a while
from our SORROWS. But in nearly every
picture we are confronted by these scenes
Of illness and death.
1t seems to me that life is cruel enough
to most people at times without having the
knife turned in their wounds by motion
pictures, which should be pleasant diver
sion? ]. W. TOWNSEND.

hand condemnation OF Sir David Beatty
are based are really a little too elementary
to be altogether convincing There Is an
abundance of examples In naval his
tory for the subordination OF obvious
tactical truisms to strategic considera-
tons, and 1t is by no means clear that IN
this case Sir David Beatty was excessive
ly hot-headed or that the results did not
Justify his action. 1t is inconceivable that
if the losses of the Germans come near Sir
John Jellicoe's estimate they can possibly
regard the result with complacency. But
it may perhaps be urged, the circumstances
were such that they were able to claim
victory. True; but they claimed victory
with no less assurance after the disastrous
engagement off the Dogger Bank IN Janu-
airy, 1915.
In conclusion, censure is undoubtedly
justified if we must accept Captain Sims
opinion that the British had no business
to invite a general fleet action or to at
tempt the destruction of the German fleet,
because they already had as complete
control of the sea as would have resulted
from the defeat Of the enemy fleet" On
the opposite side we have the opinion OF
some English enthusiasts that BRITISH
naval commander is obliged to attack in
continently against any odds. That absurd
belief in a non-existent tradition may be
dismissed as unworthy of serious consld-
Grafton, but we can dismiss it without
accepting Captain Sims's singular ar
gument, though that argument be ampii-
fed by trite tactical maxims.

A Censor's Museum.

The main purpose in establishing war
museum at the postal censor's office IN
London was probably to influence neutral
opinion, to persuade those who murmur at
interference with neutral mails that by no
other means is it possible to cope with the
efforts of ingenious Germans to avoid by
all sorts of devices the full consequences
Of the blockade.
Samples Of many thousands Of packets
of rubber show an astonishing variety of
tricks intended to deceive the inquisitive
examiner or to put him off his guard. The
most obvious is a newspaper or magazine
roll containing sheet rubber or rubber in
some form or other. But that is, of course,
readily detected, and more complicated
means have been devised to catch the CEN
sor unawares. Thus, packet of pure rub
Der is made to look like bundle of narcis-
sus bulbs and considerable quantities are
sent out in exact imitation of a well known
make Of golf balls. But the commonest
plan of all is to send thin sheets of rub
Der in letters, in the hope, perhaps, that
letters would be examined with less care
than the parcel post. Thousands of(such
letters. were seized, and in many cases it
was found that they had double covers, the
outer envelope being addressed to neu-
trail whose duty it was to forward the con-
traband article TO Germany.
Many Of the newspaper bundles contain
calico bags, containing a great variety of
articles, from Para rubber to rice, tobacco,
tea, oatmeal, lard, or even sliced ham. One
heavy bundle of German-American papers
concealed two pounds of coffee, another
packet, apparently intended only to convey
photograph, was fortified with bars of
nickel. One Of the most remarkable Of all
the articles exhibites was wrapper COW

A Dangerous Political Body.
n Editor of The Tribune.

To the Editor of The Tribune.
Sir: Comment on "Stanch Kaiserists"
second letter seems unnecessary. 1.-THE dan
gerous political body" he mentions, (which
will hold the balance of power in this coun-
try and be able to dictate its policies" may
be more than boast. If already fact, as
some believe, it is an argument for an
American blacklist, political, social and eco
nomic.
We have beheld "Kaiserist" made secure
in asking for a list of the convictions Of
German-American citizens for crimes against
the neutrality Of the United States, crimes
for which it is significant that they have
been tried, and equally significant that they
have been acquitted Our present govern
ment gave odt that it would not act concern
ing England's blacklist, and then the Sec
rotary of State made haste to declare this
purely domestic measure ian unwonted in
reference with the rights of our citizens"
The action of this force upon our govern
ment has been detailed in "The Congress
sional Record" by a statesman of courage

body Of Americans who agree, not disagree,
with "Kaiserst" when he says that his

to the benefit of the country" We take
this body seriously, not a threat, but as
an indication that our previous preoccupa-
ton with business has been unfortunate.
