twelve men in this county to ship milk to
New York back in the 70's, and while there
was no pasteurzing nor any large milk com
panies to handle this milk and deal 1t out
with sterilized fingers, fail to find that sta
tistics will bear out the fact that disease
directly traceable to milk was more prevalent
then than now; in fact, do find that mortal
ity among infants is greater now than then
II pasteurization plants are necessary how
can you reconcile the above facts!
Were not this and similar laws put through
for the sole purpose of keeping the farmer
out Of the open market and making his ex-
istence as an individual impossible! MILK
from healthy cows cannot be improved upon
by man.
How many Of your New York City people
call for pasteurized milk when you are visit
ing US during the summer months? Not one,
and many of you fairly battle in milk and
YOU 20 back home improved in health with
manv more pounds of avoirdupois to your
credit.
Pasteurization, in a sense, is form OF
preservative. If this milk from the COW is
hazardous for Borden's 100000 people to
drink why is it that your children look so
robust and improve so wonderfully while they
are in the rural districts drinking milk from
Uncle Georges old red COW, and year after
year they do It, coming here scrawny, little
submerged fellows. In a months time
comes greet transformation and the old red
cows milk does it.

The Wonderful French Army.
fV-o,n I'll, Manchester Guardian)


Is u nossible TO praise the work OF the
French army too highly? 1t began badly, for
IFS plans of campaign were unsound, and, in
addition, the Germans had an immense lead
in numbers, in their mobilization arrange
ments and in most important branches OF the
mechanics of war But after the opening
messages II recovered with amazing rapidly.
The strategy of the Marine was in subtlety the
finest thing in the war and on the Nancy 'front.'
the French, under General Castelnau, were
about the same time exhibiting qualities OF
stubbornness in defence that we sometimes
like to think Of as distinctively British. Then
followed during the winter period OF drastic
army reforms which showed the patriotism oil
the new French army at its best, for nothing
nuts such a strain on il as 20 cashier ones
friends. as General Joffre had to do at this
time in the higher interest of the country.
The French army last year overestimated
ito power by forcing the enemy's position, and
il suffered very heavily in consequence. But
for all that, in spite OF its failures, what
MAGNIFICENT record it has, with two tremen-
dous ofensives in Champagne, one in the
sprinc and second in the autumn, the first
real breach in the enemy's lines by the con-
quest of the Labyrinth near Arras, to say
nothing OF IlHHllHB III A4SaNc anu %"NJ ~ 49,
north of Ypresl
And in spite of all Frances's losses, she was
still equal to a campaign in the DGrdanelles,
and after that to a leading part in the defence
Of Salonca One does not know which to ad-
nre most-the loyalty to her ally Serbia IN
distress, the profusion of her sacrifices to the
common cause, the clear, penetrating vision
into a strategical situation, or the stoical
calm-so different from the vulgar ideas OF
the Frenchman-wth which she has borne
losses and the postponement of her hopes.
But, great as France was last year, she has
risen to fresh heights this year. Nerdun,
after the shock Of the first few days, was
magnifcently done, and, so far from being
weakened to heplessness by her losses, as
the Germans had hoped, they have stirred her
TO fresh efforts. Her energy in the Somme
battle is beyond praise and is now reaping
splendid reward. She has in General Foch
perhaps the finest tactician in Europe, and
her staff work and technical organization
have now reached the highest pitch Of ELI q
cheney. But these things would have counted
for comparatively little after all that France
has gone through if it had not been for the
Iindomitable energy and the lofty pride of her
people. Well may we be proud Of such allies.

PEACE WITH DISHON0R
And Prosperity Soaked in Blood Under the
Wilson Administration.
he Editor Of The Tribune.

To the Editor or Inc Irlouhe.
Sir: Peace and prosperity, that is the DEM
ocratic slogan. They qualify peace" by that
magnificent phrase, "He kept US out Of war.
Did he keep US out Of war in Mexico
What was Vera Cruz, where nineteen brave
American boys laid down their lives and over
hundred Mexicans were slaughtered? Was
not that war? What was Santa Ysabel? Was
not that war? What was the raid on Column
bus. where our soil was violated, our prop
erty destroyed and our citizens and soldiers
murdered? Was not that war? What was
Parral7 Was not that war? What was Car
rial, where two troops Of the 10th U. 5.
Cavalry were attacked, our officers and men
killed and wounded, and our flag trampled in
the dust? Was not that war?
And yet they say "He kept us out OF war
What of the Lusitana children did he keep
them out Of war? Did he keep US out of war
in Europe? Do they say of President Frank
lin Pierce that he kept US out of the
Crimean War? Do they say of General
Grant that he kept out of the Franco
Prussian War? Does the most ardent ad-
mirer of Theodore Roosevelt, and he has
many, claim for him that he kept US out Of
the Russo-Japanese War? And yet they say
of Woodrow wilson: ale kept US out Of
war!"
And now prosperity, Democratic pros
perityi" Are memories so short that peo-
pie forget the winter of 1874 the first
winter under the present Administration
Do they remember Bundle Day? Do they
remember the length of the bread lines =?
Why. in this great city Of ours normally
900 men and women are employed in the
factories, and that winter 100000 of those
$50 900 men and women were unemployed.
Can any one remember Bundle Day" under
any other Administration
And then the great cataclysmc European
conflict burst upon us-and those men who
were fighting for chance to work at dollar,
and even so cents, day, are now employed
in the munition factories In Bridgeport and
other cities at s., Sc and 81 day.
And they call that rity-"Demo-
cratic prosperity" prosperity soaked in
the blood of Europel A prosperity depend
ing upon the tears of widows and orphans
for its sustenancel A prosperity taking its
daily toll in death, shattered limbs and man
gled bodes
And yet the electric sign on the front Of
the National Democratic Club in this city
scintillates as brilliantly as ever, and one can
read, Wilson and Marshall" peace and
Prosperity" Peace with dshonor and a
Moloch-lke prosperity, fed on human sacri-
fces-sacrfces made by the men and women
Of Europe, who are Flooding the crimson
highways OF death and destruction!

and the like have been the outstanding
achievement In the labor world in the last
decade. Bearing hard sometimes on en-
ployer, sometimes on employees, they have
nevertheless worked out a rough justice
which was infinitely better for the con-
testants and the public than perpetual or
even intermittent labor warfare. If they
are TO be thrown overheard tho industrial
world will be set back to where it was
wears ago when the employer class, re-
cardless of "social justice" and the opinion
of the public, carried things with high
hand. and the sole hope of labor lay in its
demand for arbitration, which had the ap-
proval of the general public.
Whatever the sins Of capital" have
leen in the past labor cannot afford TO
duplicate them now. Two wrongs Will
never make a right. The same enlight-
cned interest of the community at large in
these industrial disputes which has forced
EMPLOYERS to abandon their oldtime att
t,de holds unions to the same standard oil
square dealing and intelligent service that
Il exacts of the employers. The arbitrary,
withdrawing union inevitably harms
itself in the immediate dispute, as has
teen proved in the streetcar strike. Far
worse, it engenders distrust and suspicion
Of union ethics and unionists' intelligence
which are worse for the workers than de-
feat in many strikes. Labor can better ITS
condition only to the extent that such bet
ternment advances the public interest apd
has the approval of the community. Dew
cusness, violence and demagogy from strike
leaders and breach of contract can never
win approval.

Il Fills a Great Need.

To the Editor Of The Tribune.
Sir: To those who have become intimately
acquainted with the work Of the Public En-
ployment Bureau the announcement that four
members of the subcommittee Of the Mayors
Committee on Unemployment have voted TO
abolish the bureau Is rude shock, and car
ries the conviction that a vote, however I'M
official, can influence most unjustly the minds
of those with power 10 act.
The employment bureau came TO FIJI great
need in 1914, and il would indeed be short
sighted to consider it in any other light.
It's abandonment would be a great extrava-
gance Of the time and money expended for its
establishment. Private organizations have
aided in starting branches of the work of the
bureau and the statistics show a steady in
crease in its use.
The bureaus necessities call for a larger
appropriation. This is encouraging rather
than otherwise, and should cause increased
interest in the work so successfully started.
It should not be left to charitable institu-
tions TO make personal appeals for employ
mcnt, for the existence Of public employ
ment agency inspires the individual in need
Of employment with the Independent feeling
held by citizen whose right it is to send
his children to public school.
The fact that the employment bureau has
had no money to advertise has kept its ex-
istence too much of a secret to the public.
This is the time for the citizens of New York
City to uphold the effort Of those who are
working for the permanency of the Public
Employment Bureau.

First Voters.
From The Boston Transcript.J


An army of young Americans will cast
their first ballots at the polls in November
How will they vote? To considerable ex-
tent they will hold the balance Of power, and
as they dictate so will the country go, for
better or for worse 1t is mighty respon-
sibility, this thing Of determining the future

full-fedced citizenship when they take their
first ballots in their hands and step into the
voting booths owe in return for the new
privilege that henceforth is to be theirs all
the serious thought that they can bring to
Dear upon the choice offered TO them. -Four
wears ago they were on the threshold OF their
majority. To-day they have crossed it. Four
years ago their interest in politics was AGA
demic. To-day it is practical. -Four years
ngo the ballot was a symbol. To-day 1t is a
weapon for good or i'll. Fortunately for the
destiny of the nation, youth is idealistic. Its
eyes are on the future. IL is living in to-
day and tomorrow, not yesterday. Its vision
is clear and its heart sound. 1t Is safe to
predict that in the momentous election in
which IL will participate this year for the
first time ii will be guided by the noblest OF
motives to which the human mind Is capable
of responding, for il is TO such motives that
youth has always responded. The certainty
that youth will be on the side of national

forting reflections OF the hour. II promises

THE CHURCH OF THE SACRED HEARTS
OF JESUS AND MARY.



Mr.. H. H. Sheets, Secretary,
Association for National Service.
Washington, d. c.
Dear Sir: | am intimately persuaded that
such a training is of vital Importance for the
welfare and security Of the nation. Inc as
cipline which the young men will acquire
will develop their character and improve
their physical condition.
The habit of early rising and retiring TO
rest, the taking of simple and nourishing
food and the daily outdoor exercise cannot fail
to invigorate their manhood; moreover, the
association of the sons of wealth with the
sons of poverty, the sons OF America with the
sons of a foreign land, cannot fail to create
a spirit of fraternity among the young men,
10 weld them together as future citizens OF a
common country.
Another advantage is that the discipline
will instil into them spirit of obedience to
lawful authority, virtue too often disre-
earded in our land OF freedom. II will teach
them the dignity of obedience, which they
will regard not as an act Of servility TO man
but as q homage rendered to God. since they
will consider their superors as His represen-
tatives. Moreover, am persuaded that this
military preparation will make for peace
rather than for war For II any foreign ma
ton Is disposed TO invade our country it will
be deferred by the recognition Of the fact that
our country is prepared for every emergency.
Another consideration is that the few years
our youth will spend In military discipline
will not indefinitely withdraw them from the
active and pacific pursuits of life.
With great respect, | am, faithfully yours,
J. CARD. GIBBONS.

The Cows of New York.

Even the occasional explorer Of New
York City must have seen here and there
a mild and still countrifed COW grazing
within city limits. There is a pasture at
the tip end of Manhattan Island to the
north, half encircled by the Harlem Ship
Canal, where cows pass tranquil seasons
undisturbed by the roar of Van Cortlandt
Park expresses. And in The Bronx, in
Queens and on Staten Island is extensive
pasturage for these foster mothers of our
enfeebled race.
But who would have guessed that the
city harbored as many as 10000 cows!
AS many cows, for example, as we have
Young lawyers or saloons? The magma
ton is aghast. Yet such is Health Com
missioner Emerson's romantic estimate.
Truly a noble herd Of cattle, in the late
Mayor Gaynor's phrase, and yet strikingly
unobtrusive.
But the wonder grows, not alone that
10000 cows should remain hid within our
oates, but that their product should be lost
in our community milk pail. In other
words, the city's capacity for cows, great
as it seems, appears overmatched by It's
thirst for milk, circumstance somewhat
discouraging to those who may dream OF
q metropolis whose babies are independent
cf farmers leagues. Just now one large
milk distributing company is about to ex-
reriment with the importation into the
city of 200 COWS, to be fed on silage. But
even Stalled COWS in sufficient number
would take up too much room.
Let Father Knickerbocker be content
with his 10000. We don't want silos
duplicating our gas tanks or sanitary
stables elbowing our tenements.

Applause for Mr.. Roosevelt.

To the Editor of The Tribune.
Sir: Though a lifelong Democrat q am
nearly eighty years old, honor and APP
plaud Mr.. Roosevelt for his recent frank dec
laration Of what he would have done if ne
had been President when the Lusitania was
ruthlessly torpedoed and scores OF American
women and children were murdered. Thou
sands OF Democrats agree with him. 1t is
Just what should have been done, war or no
war with Germany. 1t is yet what should
be done These informed German ships
should be held by our government as secur-
ity to satisfy the damages due to our citi-
zens for that infamous outrage.

ever as an agent worthy to win distinction

Nobody can envy the Secretary OF the
Interior his ungrateful mission at Atlantic
City. If the Administrations Mexican
policy is what Mr.. Wilson says it is, there
is no reason on earth for continuing the
farce of pettifogging over the details OF
the withdrawal of our troops from Mexi-
can soil. In order to keep the conference
alive Mr.. Lane must hold the Presidents
policy to be something which it pretends
not to be. A wearyng job for man Of
intellectual sincerity and force. But an
inescapable job for any one compelled to
appear as an interpreter of what Mr.. Will
son has done, is doing and still intends to
do in Mexico.
