There is strong suspicion in official
circles in Russia that the sinking in
daylight of the hospital ship Portu-
gal was deliberate act, undertaken
by German officer for no other pur-
pose than to embitter Russia, and to
render Turkish detection impossible.
The whole event takes special signi-
ficance in the light of recent news
from Turkey, where since the fall
of Erzerum the anti-German party
has been gaining ground rapidly.

Serious food riots in which at least
1000 women and children participant
ed, occurred in Torrcon, Mexico, on
March %, Crowds rushed through
the streets crying for corn. The corn
meal was only obtainable at fabulous
prices. From the demonstration the
riot grew into general looting, Sold
iers were called out, but they refus-
ed to shoot into the crowds of women
and children. No one was killed dur
ing the rioting, but many buildings
were badly damaged. The government
took steps to distribute corn and has
ordered several carloads sent to Tor
rcon and vicinity.

To the Editor of The Tribune
Sir: These times in New York of corners
on eggs and -four by spectators and own
ers Of refrigerator plants recall the days
of panic in 1867, when banks closed, and
even the government was unable to meet its
obligations Coal was SO a ton and -four Sl2
a barrel, and so great was the distress that
meeting was held in City Hall Park, the
notice Of the same reading: Bread, wheat
rent, fuel! The voice OF the people shall be
heard"
Eli Hart. in Washington Street, who was
holding sixty thousand barrels of -four for
higher prices, was denounced and a mob at
tackled his warehouse and destroyed much OF
his stock after he had refused to sell to the
people at the old price.
Then when the militia arrived the crowd
visited Horrick & Co.'S warehouse, and there
they were outwitted by a very smart clerk,
who said: "Boys, don't destroy the -four, but
let every one who can shoulder barrel of
-four take it home TO his family" To this
all agreed, and hundreds Of homes were i'm
mediately amply supplied. Herrick saved
much of his stock and quiet was restored
20 the town. To-day want no riots, but if
il be true that the cold storage specializing
companies are reaping a vast harvest out OF
grocerymen and consumers and out of every
81 spent for food Go cents goes to spectators.
then why may not the state give our people
relief by establishing cold storage plants I'M
der state supervision?
The present storage facilities are made
quate and are controlled by spectators who
are making 100000 week out of eggs alone
This surely looks like conspiracy for the
exacting of any price the Spectator in eggs
or fowls may dictate.
Our city could build the storage ware
houses, which would pay for themselves every
six months, and provide food at a reasonable
cost to a long suffering and much imposed
upon public.
The Market Commissioner says this han
ding by the municipality or state would save
100000 a year in live poultry, s1OOOO,OOO
on eggs and an equal amount on dressed
poultry and butter and $l5,OO0,OO0 in the
distribution of milk.
VIII not The Tribune advise its readers
on this subject and suggest what sort of leg
islaton should be initiated in Albany TO
bring about some substantial relief?

PURGE THE PARTY
Republicans Must Make an End of Their
Reactionary Leaders

To the Editor of The Tribune
Sir: The irrepressibe conflict is on for
party government responsive TO the Will OF
the people and it will not cease until the
victory be won. Justice Hughes has been led
as a lamb to the slaughter for the protection
of the reactionary element OF the &. U. T.
Tho rcsctionaries will never learn the cause
Of the defeat, for in accordance with human
nature the word over they are hopelessly
blind to their own stupidity. Without fol-
lowers Of broader vision they could never do
harm. and il now remains for those who still
have vision to purge the party OF all reac-
tonary leaders and place the party again on
the road of progress, where, as formerly, 1t
shall be responsive to the peoples Will.
The reactionaries preferred Justice Hughes
az the least of two evils, for they knew the
people would not stand for nomination OF
one of their own kind, and so they judged a
candidate unwise to their wiles as the safer
The politicians knew they could make no
deals with Justice Hughes and that he would
always be uncompromisingly for progress
and the right, but they hoped TO escape his
destroying wrath by devious ways unknown
to him. The East knew and trusted Justice
Hughes His ability, character, independence
and progressiveness were unquestioned, but
the West did not know him as we'll, while
they knew too we'll the reactionary leaders
who were promoting his candidacy, and so
they determined on opposition to anything
or any one they advocated.
The Democratic party is and always has
been the party Of reaction, but the over
whelming desire for power and the reaction
airy attitude of the G. 0. P. compelled them
20 nominate President Wilson as a progress
give. and they won in three-conered fight.
President Wilson proved a wise politician
and saw that continuance of power lay only
in the enactment Of progressive measures,
and so he pulled his party with him TO the
enactment Of such measures, as the tounda-
tions had been laid By others and were being
demanded by the people. These new laws
did not have the unbiased, well-considered
Judgment Of the best advised men, and VIII
require either repeal or amendment oetore
effective results can be attained. The people
cannot be fooled all the time and real prog
ress must be had. The party that by the
character and ability Of its leaders guaran-
tees the rule Of the people and real progress
will be the dominating party OF the future

JACK LONDON AND THE WAR
An Authoritative Denial That He Wrote
an Anti-Militarist Pamphlet
To the Editor Of The Tribune.

To the Editor Of The Tribune.
Sir: The Tribune did an unconscious in
justice to Jack London in the final paragraph
Of its article this morning.
May ask that the statement be not al
lowed TO endure TO tarnsh the memory of
man who held that human liberty could exist
only through human valor?
The pamphlet to which reference is made
has been thrown at London for several years,
and denials never seem to catch up with its
flight. Your version is that it was written
in 1915, since the Great War began had
my first personal fight with the SANDER, how
ever, more than year earlier, when Presi-
dent Wilson sent Funston's army TO Vera
Cruz, and |, then managing editor OF Col
lier's," sent London along with it. He and |
found that the charge that he had written
such pamphlet was being spread, with in
tent to damage his prestige
It developed on investigation that the pam
phlet bearing falsely his signature, was dis
tributed. first in Southern California, during
period of labor warfare. London told me
that he did not write it and that it did not
reflect any of his views. He also wrote de-
NAL from the border 10 "The Army and Navy
Journal" which printed his letter.
What his feelings were in regard to the
Great War know exactly, both by his word
and his deed. In the first year OF the war
he told me that, except for his personal re-
sponsibilities for the welfare Of the many
persons dependent upon him, he would have
been over the Northern border, to enlist as
soldier in Engand's outgoing colonial army.
He did not tell me what he did in place OF
going, but Mrs. London did, last week. He
has been supporting the mother of a soldier.
Jack London was a fighting man. He would
not defame fighting men.

French Fortresses

To the Editor OF The Tribune.
Sir: In his letter to your paper Mr. Osborn
gays that Belgium was an outpost for Eng
land and France, and that this was proven by
the fact that there were no fortresses on the
frontiers Of France and Belgium"
What was the need Of forts on this
frontier? France feared nothing from Bel
GUM, and if Belgium had feared France she
would have built forts on her frontier with
France. France never dreamed that Belgium
would be used as a stepping stone to attack
her.
Your correspondent says that the Allies of
the Entente are envious of Germany. En-
vious Of what? England, France and Russia
were never so prosperous they were just
prior 10 the war.
France had just recovered from the war OF
1870, and it is foolish TO think that she
wanted another war with Germany.
And to suppose that England and Russia
unprepared as they were. wanted war with
Germany is ridiculous beyond belief

Jack London

Jack London lived his books before he
wrote them Each and every one of them
is g chapter, phase of his autobiography;
and none but he himself could have writ
ten the postscript to his adventurous ca
reer which is found in the latest, if prob
ably not the last of his stories, "The Tur-
ties of Tasman." 1t is all there, the call of
the wild, the lure of the dangers and dar-
ing and bardships beyond the selvage Of
civilization, the romance Of derring-do,
however great the failure in the material
sense OF the word. Jack London the rover
and adventurer put down his own philos-
ophy Of life in this tale, which through
his untimely death suddenly acquires new
significance. On his successes as an author
he is silent there, however. It's disillu-
sions, chiefly social, he put on record in
Martin Eden" to turn with renewed zest
to the brutalties of primitive life in
Burning Daylight" There was third
period in his career, however, that of at
least apparent reconciliation to an alb
horred social system through prosperity,
in "The Valley of the Moon" and "The
Little Lady Of the Big House" These
breathed material contentment with the
fruits of material success. They more
than indicated trend toward individual
ism. About the same time London turned
from socialism 10 prohibition.
He was the first to turn the Klondyke
into literary material; certainly the first
to win success with the wild, hard, prim-
tive material Of the new FL Dorado. Wher-
ever men stripped themselves of all the
trappings, all the conventions and SAFE
guards of civilization he was in his ele-
ment, until at last he came to celebrate
brutality for its own sake. II was the sur
vival of the fttest as he saw it, The in
direct, complex workings of the same law
i'm the centres Of civilization brought him
only a burning consciousness Of trickery,
oppression and injustice. He worshipped
the purely physical right Of the strongest;
their mental right he denied He was an
instructive, not logical, insurgent.
He wrote far more than will be good for
his future reputation, and he failed 10
make the best Of his talent and of the op-
portunities it brought him. With them he
might so easily have overcome the remain
ing handicap Of his early years in training
and education. He read Unfortunately,
he failed to acquire the standards against
whose disappearance Mr.. Brownell warned
us only the other day. To the last culture
and "highbrow" were synonymous TO him,
states Of mind TO be suspected, scorned and
combated. He might have gone so much
further but for this partial blindness of
his-how far has been proved by that
s,her rover Of the earth. Joseph Conrad.
