Whereas, The New York Tribune, during
the recent hearing of II. r. 69l5-the Griffin
bill-was active in printing news articles and
editorial comment upon the subject of retire
ment and
"Whereas, The generous policy Of adyocat-
ing the Endorsement and enactment of this
measure resulted in educating the public and
the Representatives that the demand for such
legislation was imperative and should no
longer be delayed; and
Whereas, The unprecedented impetus
which the cause of retirement has received
during the present session of Congress was
due, in a large measure, to the efforts of this
and other influential periodicals. therefore
be il
Resolved, That the New York State Asso-
citation Of the National Association of Let
ter Carriers assembled in convention at One

Some German War Diaries.

The Tribune will publish on its edito-
rial page tomorrow another of Mr.. Arthur
Gleason's vivid contributions to the his
tory of the war. Mr.. Gleason has seen
history in the making, both at the front
and behind it. He has told of the won
derful work of the American Ambulance
service in France and Of his own expert
ences as hospital corps worker in Belgium.
Tomorrow he will give the readers If
The Tribune a glimpse at the contents of
the diaries of numerous officers and sol
diers Of the German army which devas-
tated Northern France. The French
General Staff has made a collection Of
these diaries, taken from prisoners and
from dead bodies. They are preserved as
irrefutable testimony out Of the mouths
of the invaders themselves to the fright
fulness" of Germany's campaign of ter
rorism in occupied French territory.
Mr.. Gleason has seen these diaries and
has extracted from them an indictment
similar to that which his own experiences
in Belgium had led him to draw against
the calculating ferocity Of German mill
tary policy Dead men tell no tales, y
says the old proverb. But the dead men
represented in this collection of diaries
have told tales which will live forever 20

Investigate Coal Prices!

Following the recent suggestion OF the
Attorney General, the Senate has adoPleu
a resolution calling on the Federal Trade
Commission to investigate the relation Of
labor cost and coal prices before and after
the miners strike which was settled by in
crease in wages. Such an investigation IS
badly needed. Attorney General Gregory,
recommending that action, declared that
the mine operators had so raised prices
after previous increases of wages TO miners
that. since 1912, the public had paid not
only the total salary increase, but an eX-
cess of $4,000 900 profit to the coal pro-
ducers.
Paving a price for coal which includes a
necessary increase in cost of production IS
one thing. Paying for increased cost and
paying, in addition, an increased proht is
another thing for which the much -gouged
public has no stomach. Users of coal want
the miners to be well paid. They do not
want to have the mine owners add to their
fat bank accounts by adding to coal prices
double or treble the amount they add to the
miners wages
The first step in prevention of this time
honored method of gouging the consumer
is the investigation Mr.. Gregory and the
Senate have recommended. When the
facts are at hand, officialdom and the pub
lie which pays will know whether the coal
producers have done in the most recent
price-raising what they did in previous
ones. If they have again attempted to en-
rich themselves and lay the blame on the
miners, it is to be hoped the government
will have at its disposal some means Of un-
doing their get-rich-easily scheme and
enforcing moderation in profits for the
| future.

"NIBELUNGENISM"
Not Epic of Theft and Lies, but of Love
and Self-Sacri6ce.

To the Editor Of Tho Tribune.
Sir: Your correspondent, W. L. H, in
to-Gay's Tribune tries to connect the com
ing performance Of Die Walkure" in the
Yale Bowl with German barbarism, and in
so doing makes various statements against
which | must enter vigorous protest
He says that "Die Walktre" Is part Of
that philosophy which is the antithesis Of
Christianity" and refers TO the Ring" as
"the least universal and the clumsiest Of
Wagners works, the epic of theft.
lies and trickery." He also says that Wag-
ner, when he wrote il. was not the Wagner
Of "Tannhauser" or Tristan"
To any one with more than superficial
knowledge of the "Ring" nothing could be
more absurd 1t is the epic not OF theft.
lies and trlckery but of love and self-sacri-
flee. Its whole theme is 20 show that tho
world built on lies and greed could not live,
that those who tried to build such world
out Of their lust for power and self-indul-
gence forged the instruments of their own
destruction, and that they must pass away
70 give place 10 a better era, born of love,
the one enduring thing through the ages. Il
would seem that Wagner had made this
plain enough in the text and music, partcu-
larly in the closing "motive" of "Gotter-
lammerung," as we'll as in thirty lines near
the end which ne never set TO music because
he felt .hat their sentiment was already suf-
fciently explained.
But for the benefit of persons unabls 70
understand the meaning of the Ring he
has described Il in the plainest language IN
his own letters, notably those to his friend
Rocket. Die Walkdre" is one Of the most
beautiful and touching parts of the truth

and human sympathy, personihed by Brunn-

Russia as an Ally.

To the Editor of The Tribune.
Sir: In your Saturdays issue OF Inc lI.o-
une YOU feature letter written by MI
Narodny calling for the closer union OF kus-
sia with the United States. While nave
no quarrel to make with the author OF tnat
letter or to his motives for such an appeal, l
beg to voice my opinion on this rather IN
terestng subject Lately there IS apparent
in the daily press. as we'll as in other period
icals of the land, a persistent outcry in praise
Of Russia and her ways in the world To my
untutored mind it rather looks like an ehort
Of some particular friends TO ingratate
themselves in the public esteem Of this rath-
er materiaistic United States, and perhaps
ask for little loan when the right moment
arrives. For the methods of an individual
and a government in these rather tickllsh
matters are about the same.
But as TO our friends. Mr.. Narodny, let
ter Il does seem remarkable how easily he
obliterates England. Germany and France
from the face Of the earth and lets Russia
and China rule the world And the United
States. Of course, This here United States
still has a few coppers jingling in her iron
chests, and they are rather tempting. Re
markabe are also the reasons offered for
the closer friendship OF our country with Rus
sia Foremost among them is the aesthetic
