A PLEA FOR ARBITRATION
Unless the Whole Idea Is a Fallaey, Now
Is Its Opportunity.
To the Editor Of The Tribune.

To the Editor OF The Tribune
Sir: II ever there was case for aroitra-
ton il has arisen between ourselves and Mex
leo. That we have cause for war Is induo'-
table. This is just what calls for aroitra
lion unless the whole idea Of arbitration ia
a falacy.
The states Of South America arc as anxious
az we are that Mexico shall live in safety
ouietude and independence Among the Euro
pesn nations antagonism and interest make
the arbitration of many quarrels. indeed
nearly anv European quarrel, almost i'm
possible. There is no tribunal that can be
trusted.
But similar antagonisms do not exist in
this bemisphere. A tribunal Of the Western
World that could settle this Mexican embrog-
lilo would be a precedent Of hope for all hu-
manity.
Then why is there no talk Of arbitration
Why is this war fever aroused against Mex
ico7 can find no explanation for 1t except
that the Administration thinks that war
with Mexico is good politics. Are we TO send
our sons to die in Mexico because Wilson
thinks it will help 10 elect him! In dying
for ones country il makes a great difference
what is the cause Of war.
Through indecision and procrastination in
the past on our part Mexico's sins against us
have been famed into fanaticisms. But this
is no excuse for US that we should shut the
door on reason. II there were any way Of
Joining an army that should enforce arbitra-
ton between ourselves and Mexico | should
willingly join IT,
There is another consideration, the great
est II We arc not able to arbitrate this little
quarrel with a weak neghbor our power to
help the cause Of arbitration in the world Is
lost. We are, il appears. merely takers and
hypocrites. JOHN JAY CHAPMAN

NEW TYPE SOLDIERS
WIFE SEEKS AID
Work Needed for Women VINO
Have Never Worked.

A new type of woman, left 10 her
own resources by the absence OF tne
wage Garner of her family with ms
regiment. came to the notice OF the
Active Service Auxiliary Of the Na-
tional Guard yesterday: heretofore
nractically all cases which nave aP-
plied for aid have been women WIN
Young children, who were willing 10
work but for family cares.
Yesterday the woman who had never
heen asked TO work and who did not
believe she could work appeared at me
auxiliary headquarters at the flst
Regiment Armory, Park Avenue ana
ThIrtv-fourth Street. After talk WIN
the officers in charge she consented 10
do anything that she could 10 HiaAe
ends meet. -. 49,. e
woman the auxiliary finds itself iaced
with serious problem, and It asks
that anv one who has any mendlng or
sewing or work that can be done at
home will notify its Office.
Form letters are being sent by the
organization to the captains OF the dlt-
ferent units at the border, asking them
to grant furloughs TO men whose fam.
lilies are in need. These furloughs. or
two weeks duration, can be heightened
SO that the mans discharge, following
application to General Funston before
leaving the Southern Department, a
matter of several weeks, can be OBJ
tanned before he must return to MS
regiment.

NAY DROP FILIBUSTER
ON WILSON SHIP BILL
Republican Senators to Decide
on Action To-day.

Washington. July Whether a fill
buster will be made by the Republicans
against the government ship purchase
bill will be decided at meeting OF the
Republican Senators tomorrow morn
ing. While the opposition to the BILL
so far as the Republicans are con-
cerned, has not diminished, there is
strong disposition to let the Democrats
put the measure through and take the
responsibility.
A considerable element Of the Re
publican Senators believe that long
drawn out flibuster would be useless
since the Democrats, with their big
majority, would finally wear out the
takers and force vote. With no pros
pect of ultimately defeating the bill,
they urge, there is no point in making
a flibuster at all, as the only result
would be to delay the adjournment OF
Congress for some weeks, or perhaps
months.
There is no desire whatever on the
part Of the Republicans to delay the
final adjournment Of Congress. Ihey
are lust as anxious TO get back home
particularly those who come up for re-
election, as are the members OF the
House. On the other hand, there are
Republican Senatorse who think that
any sacrifice would be justified II there
is a possibility of beating the ship Dill.

LUSITANIA WIDOW WINS
Appellate Division Upholds Her lnsur'
ance Claim.

The Appellate Division Of the Su-
preme Court yesterday reversed the
decision of the Supreme Court dlsinlss-
ING the complaint of May Davies Hop
kins against the Connecticut Genera,
Life Insurance Company. She sued
for 1000 damages on contract made
with that company by her husband,
Albert Lloyd Hopkins, who was lost
with the Lusitsnia, May z, 1915: Hop
kins was president of the Newport
News Shipbuilding Company.
The defence claimed that the con-
tract did not cover anv loss due to an
act Of the nations engaged in war and
that Hopkins signed an insurance pol
icy with a "war rider" attached. Mrs
Hopkins contended this rider was IN
valid because it was not filed with the
of Insurance.
No approval of the "war rider" by an
executive of the company appearing on
the policy, the Appellate Division de-
cided that issuance in that form was
forbidden.

UPHOLDS COUNTY CLERK
Court Rules Board of Estimate Can't
Interfere with Appointments.

The County Clerk can make appoint
ments and promotions in his depart
ment without interference by the Board
Of Estimate if he keeps within the rules
of the Civil Service Commission, ac-
cording to a decision OF the Appellate
Division of the Supreme Court yester-
day. The case arose when Controller
Prendergast refused to certify the pro-
motion of George f. Planoon by County
Clerk Schneider, on the ground that 1t
failed to show that Schneider had com
piled with the terms Of the budget.
The decision frees the clerks of coun-
ties from interference by the Board of
Estimate, and may also result in the
restitution of salaries reduced by the
commission in Offices throughout the
city.

To Avoid Former Mistakes.

In order to avoid repeating any OF
the mistakes made during the Spanish
American war, all precautions are be-
ing taken by the United States Army
for the protection of its soldiers, and
the formation of this new division, the
Field Column, is safeguard tor the
health and prompt recovery of wounded
men, DR.. Strong explained.
Men unused to the climate and pc
culiarities of Mexican conditions could
not get well rapidly there" said DR..
Strong Yesterday. ut is absolutely
necessary then that they be taken out
of Mexico and sent north. 1t Will be
our work TO carry the men away from
the firing line in motor trucks equipped
for the purpose and take them what
ever distance is necessary 70 reach the
nearest railroad or water front.
1--WE shall carry regular African
water bags instead of canteens. AL
though we are going to take only nine
motor truck ambulances, which Will
accommodate four men reclining or
eight sitting up with two on the driv-
er's seat, we have the privilege OF
Communicating motor trucks from the
Quartermaster's Department. which
might otherwise go back from the firing
line empty"
The nine automobile ambulances will
carry tentage and supplies for estab-
fishing rest stations and first aid sta
tions when necessary. The equipment
will probably be assembled in the lst
Field Hospital Armory, at SiXty-sixth
Street, and after inspection by officers
of the Surgeon General, be sent on to
Mexico. In the event of hostilities hav-
ing opened before the mobilization is
complete. which will be in about three
weeks, the 1st Field Column will be
sent to Vera Cruz. according to present
arrangements.
Students of Columbia University and
the sons of prominent business men
and physicians have already enrolled.
In the event Of war, the entire organi-
zation will be enlisted in the volunteer
army of the United States.
The $4,000 necessary for equipment
will probably be supplied by the New
