phone. And knew Dick did not feel
any more comfortable than did, for
late in the afternoon there came by
special messenger a beautiful box of
roses.
Poor old Dick, he does not know
what to do with me. 1 am the first
problem that he has ever had that he
cannot work out or get rid of.
Like the man he is, he is doing the
best he can, bless him! and I feel
much sorTier for him than l do for
myself.
1 had to smile a little over his
roses, although a tear or two ran
down my cheeks, for thought how
typical of man was this gift.
Whenever a man feels sorry for a
woman he gives her something.
Whenever a man hurts woman he
gives her something.
Dick feels so sorry for me that I
am sure any thought of me is a
painful one, and when he found that
he could not be with me this evening
he sent flowers. During all our mar
ried life we have never had a misun-
derstanding that he has not brought
me home some gift when his anger
cooled.
Most Of my jewels I received dur
ing his experience with Eleanor Fair
low.
In some way, little book, 1 am not
very fond of jewels.
Donna Tenney told me that all the
rings she ever received from Bill, ex-
cept her engagement ring, she knew
were given her as conscience offer
ings and she was able pretty fairly
to guess by the value of the Jewels
the seriousness of the wrong he had
felt he had done her.
Donna's collection of rings is most
wonderful!

no enthusiasm in the voice.
81 meant, Dick dear, if you had
nothing you would rather to do"
What time do you want me?" was
the question that came back.
Can you come to dinner?"
There was a slight hesitation and

BRITAIN at the End Of the Year"

To the Editor Of The Tribune.
Sir: | am not a regular reader OF your
paper, but have enjoyed many Of your edi-
torials on the war. in company with many
others. | have been much moved by the
panegyric on France that appeared in your
issue Of December 81. l have read with in
terest. also. your editorial entitled britain
AT the Year End" In your issue Of Decem-
Der g. With much that you say | must
agree heartily, but have you said all that
might have been said? You have balanced
I'D Great Britain's failures, it is true, with
handsome feeling of brotherly compassion
But is there no other side on the ledger? Is
there indeed nothing 20 relate on this other
side? And if there is, is not this other side
Just as real part Of England's accounting?
Most certainly there is! She has swept
the seas clear Of German commerce. Ger
many's merchant ships are all idle-either
in her own or In neutral ports Her battle
ships are penned up IN and around kel;
Admiral Won Tirpitz is unable TO bulge. At
most, German undersea craft are able 10
steal forth--like thieves in the highland
prey upon enemy and neutral commerce, send
non-combatants to watery grave and brand
the name pirate" on the German marine.
Like a wall Of steel the English high sea
feet opposes a barrier against which the
German dreadnoughts are afraid 20 risk
themselves.
Continuous connection has been kept up
between the island home and the continent
Of Europe, with England's allies and with the
domnions and possessions beyond the seas.
Immense masses Of men and Of material have
been transferred from one country TO an
other. with only the mishaps that dog the
footsteps Of man wherever he goes and what
soever he does As long as the British navy,
in conjunction with that Of France and OF
italy can hold the seas no victories on land
can settle the war in favor Of Prussia. Adj
miral Won Tirpitz knows this, as Mr. BALM
knows Il. as Prince Won BGlow knows IL.
This is the real measure of Englands
achievement; as to do that her manifest
duty. Whatever else she has done is SUI
pererogatory. Her mission was 20 hold the
seas; and she is to be congratulated upon
having done her work 40 splendidly. In an
especial degree do our congratulations go
out to those men in the North Sea-unknown
10 us by name unheralded in the newspapers,
unable TO reap renown from their silent vic
tory because the enemy fears to come out.
As they prevented raid Of the invader upon
the northern coast Of France, they have
prevented a raid upon their own English
coast. They have done England's share In
preventing the world from being overridden
by tyranny and force. Let us remember this
when we think Of Britain at the Year End"

To the Editor OF The Tribune
Sir: Your comprehensive and illuminating
article under the caption Where Mr.. Wilson
Has Failed Us" will find an echoing response
in the hearts Of thousands of your readers.
mainly because the solemn truth is there set
forth OF course, you will be accused of
playing politics by those sympathizers Of the
administration and milk-and-water Ameri-
cans, the last named travelling as ultra pac-
fists, who, unfortunately, are pretty nu-
merous-but you can afford TO ignore all such
thrusts, knowing full well that every full
blooded American will indorse your senti-
ments.
Although the writer has always voted the
Republican ticket until 1912, when the Colo
mel got my vote because of the shameful way
that great American was treated by the
bosses), nevertheless felt that every one
should stand BY Mr.. Wilson in MS time OF
stress, but like you, sir, l have lost all pa
thence with the way the administration has
backed and filled and taken all sorts Of in
suits. With thousands Of my countrymen
feel that we need in the White House in

glad they are Americans. W. II. J.

For the Cause Of Liberty.

To the Editor Of The Tribune.
Sir: | wish to express to you my sincere
and heartfelt thanks for your splendid edi-
tora in this mornings Tribune, entitled
Britain at the Year End" To those Of US
who, like myself, while never forgetting that
we are Americans, have not failed to remem-
Der that we are also Anglo-Saxons, your edi-
toral comes like trumpet call Of hope and
confidence in the midst of bitterness and dis
appointment
While the disheartening succession Of Ger
man victories has not shaken in the slightest
degree my faith in the ultimate triumph Of
the Allied arms have felt each one to be .
victory Of autocracy and reaction over democ-
racy and freedom. No attempt to cloud the
issue, no cleverly presented accounts Of the
diplomatic incidents and correspondence
which preceded the war can disguise that
salient fact It IS the England Of the Magma
Charta, Of Cromwell, Of Pitt, of Beaconsield
and Gladstone. and the France of Mirabeau,
Hugo, Theirs and Loubet, against the Ger
many Of Bismarck, OF the Hohenzollerns and
a hundred petty dynasties. II is a war Of
free Britain and the great free British col
onies, of republican France and newly
awakened Russia against the barbarians who
destroyed Belgium because the Belgians
dared assert the rights of freemen, who ap-
plauded the destruction of the Lusitania, the
Ancona and so many other helpless ships, with
their hundreds Of innocent lives, who even
condone the frightful Armenian massacres
and make an ally of the unspeakable Turk.
No true fellow countrymen Of Washing
ton, Of Jefferson, of Lincoln. can read your
noble article without thrill of deepest
gratitude that you have found words so fit
tingly and completely TO express their pas
sionate sympathy with tho cause Of human
liberty and of those ideals which arc the
foundations of our state-the cause for which
the blood Of Britons, of Frenchmen and OF
Russians is being so freely shed.
The history of the world has never seen
a war waged In a cause moro just; it has
never seen a triumph more complete than at
last will come, God willing, TO that causes

The preparedness mass meeting at the

in the American mind in the early and pubes-
cent period Of our countrys growth

years Of our history was a1ame with the in

this Gelusion. We have lived in false sense
Of security that has been rudely shaken by

neither courage, high spirit, patriotism, num-
bers, wealth. or all together, can avail as a
defence for a nation that is wholly unpre-
pared 70 meet and overcome the enormous

Your editorials regarding the war are adj

of intelligence and real patriotism.
Your article i'm Thursdays paper, Peace

to which that unfortunate country has been

Your criticism Of the present conduct o.
the administration is beyond all praise 70

Shootings Shut Down.

The figures Of deaths by shooting since
the Sullivan law took effect issued by the
Coroners office are decidedly interesting.
In 1912, the first year Of that law, there
were la homicides by gunshot; in 1914
there were rs, and last year only 72. OF
these, moreover, one was caused by a
United States army officer, who shot a
bystander while firing at a deserter and
two by policemen-all three, therefore,
arose from the use Of pistols by persons
who had them in possession legally. Of
further significance is the fact that in
1911, before the Sullivan law went into
effect, there were 100 suicides by shooting +;
last year there were only 80.
These figures make very good case
for that law, which has been much ma
ligned and much misunderstood. Obvious
ly it will not prevent the requirement and
possession and use of revolvers by profess
sional lawbreakers; nor will it, by deny
ing possession Of pistol, prevent the sui
eide of a person bent on self-destruction.
But il should prevent, and apparently has
prevented, much indiscriminate gunplay
arising from heat Of passion and the prox-
unity of pistol. That Is precisely what
it was intended to do. The indications of
its success should commend the measure
to New Jersey, Connecticut and neighbor-
ing states, where efforts are being made
to have similar statutes enacted

For even without the economic gain which

Whose is this face, undaunted and uplifted
Soul beautiful-soul-tri beyond our ken?
By lightnings We have seen it-yes, and when
The typhoon's inky verge one instant rifted
She seems star from which the storm has

And wonder grows in all the hearts Of men.
They wonder at her, singing tardy praise.
They wonder; but, our France. they have

The stern communings of thy lonely ways
Nor heights exalted where thy lamp has

neople are not now controlled by any
LOYALTY to a party's old name; they are not
dominated by any sentimental or emotional
affection for things that were done by the
Republican party half a century ago. They
desire leadership that will face the issue
and the questions Of 1915; they desire
men who dare to face 1916 as other Re-
pubhcans faced the issues Of 1860. They
desire men who will speak to the problems
of the hour in that clear and uncompro-
missing voice that made Lincoln and Sew
ard the contenders in the Republican Ma
tional Convention of 1850.
Mr.. Roosevelt's strength lies in the fact
that he is doing this and that no one else
is. If he is permitted to occupy the field
alone for a few more months he will be
the nominee Of the next Republican Ma
tional Convention and no one can stop it..
And those who would try TO stop it will
not succeed in persuading Justice Charles
Z. Hughes to be their tool or their agent.
Justice Hughes is not that kind of Re-
publican or American.
1t is not true, as some Of the CORE
spondents and critics of The Tribune have
suggested, that this newspaper is support

Hughes or Elihu Root. But 1t does not
