A Policy Of Evasion.
ditor OF The Tribune.

To the Editor OF The Tribune.
Sir: Professor James Mark Baldwin, Of
Baltimore, deserves not only the deep SYM
pathy Of his countrymen, but also their
hearty support, on account of his demand
upon the government for reparation for the
assault on American life and liberty" which
resulted in the manning Of his daughter while
travelling across the English Channel on the
steamer Sussex.
The clear duty Of this government, as that
Of every government, is the protection OF the
lives and property Of its citizens That, pri-
marily and fundamentally, is what govern
ment is for. But for the last three years
this government has steadily and persistently
evaded or openly repudisted this duty, nota-
bly, in Mexico and upon the high seas.
Professor Baldwin, in making direct and
concrete demand upon the government to
perform its duty, has taken the right course
TO bring the matter 70 4 showdown and call
a halt on this intermnable policy Of shut
fling evasion. GEORGE WESTERVELT.

German Pledges.
or of The Tribune.

To the Editor of The Tribune.
Sir: In all Of Germany's pledges with re-
spect to submarine warfare convenient door
is left open through which il can escape the
consequences Of its acts.
Submarine commanders are instructed not
10 attack neutral vessels unless they resist or
attempt 10 escape.
Here are two open doors, through either
one OF which the submarine captain can
make an escape. He can swear that. in his
judgment. the ship was running away or was
trying to ram him, as, for example, in the
case Of the Arabic. One other open door is
available. to wit: That the neutral ship is
armed. II doesn't matter whether she is or
not. The submarine commander has only TO
say he thought she was armed or 10 assert
positively that she was armed. whether he
knows it or not, and there is ample excuse
for launching torpedo without warning.
OF what value arc pledges with all these
loopholes through which to dodge? Of
course it is conceded that German pledge
is valueless, so perhaps it doesn't matter
much either way. VI. I. Z.

PAYING THE FREIGHT
What Goes to Foreigners Should Be
Diverted Into American Pockets.

To the Editor OF The Tribune.
Sir. Mr.. Brown IN to-day's Tribune dreams
that somehow we have succeeded IN getting
cur goods into the markets OF the world with
out any cost for freiehts, and, further, that
oven If we did pay 10 foreigners some freight
Hills for the goods We bought from foreign
rations and paid the freight on such csrgoes'
We have not suffered any tremendous
losses" As we have paid more than sl25,-
100000 a year for freghts on the goods we
bought from other nations and as more than
$40. 900 900 OF this was paid to foreign ship
owners. it might seem TO some folk that in
TWENTY-FIVE years this would figure up some
thing Of a tremendous loss
Then take the other side-the goods we sell
to the foreigner. II those goods had been
shipped in American ships, built and owned
and sailed By Americans, the freights would
have been paid TO Americans, would have
been expended in America, AS whole. giving
employment and wages to many, many thou
sands Of American wage-earnors.
Ny story in The Tribune did not state the
case even strongly enough. The tremendous
losses which we as nation have suffered
would have been saved with an American
merchant marine. But, more than this, vast
sums would have gone into circulation for
the purpose of machinery, food, clothing and
shelter Of the half-million workers that a
real American merchant marine would add
to our army OF workingmen, and thus would
have enriched the nation.
But in place of this. we have played into
the hands Of our commercial rivals and sir.
Brown seems TO want TO continue this foolish
game. No patriotic American and no one
acquainted with the shipping industry will
agree with him. His cheap Glng about 100
per cent profit" amounts to absolutely moth
ing, for, even if true at the present date and
it probably isn't), It applies only to war con-
ditions. Mr.. Brown thinks the Chamber OF
Commerce Of the great city of New York
lot of creatures of political spasms' be
cause they have a practical bill in Congress
for the establishment of a real American mer-
chant marine. +. G.. K. GORDON.

Colurnbia's Dental College.

The plans recently announced for a
school Of dentistry at Columbia University
in cooperation with the College Of Physi-
clans and Surgeons deserve the cordial
support Of members of the dental and
medical professions and Of the general
public. which ultimately will be called
on for funds to make possible the accom-
plishment Of the project. In the sweep
of modern scientific progress dentistry Is
recognized as holding a place Of strategic
Importance in the treatment of many hu-
man ills which was undreamed of not
many years ago. It's proper practice In
wolves the prevention, control or cure OF
diseases directly traceable to conditions
oe the mouth, gums and teeth. For
such practice the dentist should be man
of broad education and attainments, hay
ing not only knowledge Of his speciality
but a general medical knowedge-at the
least. a satisfactory grounding in general
medical knowledge.
It is to enable him TO obtain such train
ing that the new school is planned The
students would take the instruction OF
the first two years Of the medical course
in the College Of Physicians and Surgeons
after which they would continue the work
of dental course. The result would be
the graduation of students qualified &c
practise their profession as no school II
the country now qualities them and as few
dentists are prepared unless they have, al
much expense Of time and money, taken q
course of instruction in medical college
and another one in their own speciality.
This project has the hearty Endorsement
of leading physicians and dentists. 1t /;
bound to bring closer together profes
sionally these two branches of curative
work. which have been in effect divorced
for more than half a century. 1t mean:
the establishment Of far higher standard
Of dentistry, and that, obviously, mus
benefit individual patients and the public
health.
Too many dental schools now are mere
" proprietary establishments which cram
into students sufficient theory and mechan
ical dexterity TO enable them to pass the
necessary examinations, obtain certificates
and begin practice. The profession suf
fers and the public suffers along with 1t
The establishment Of a school such az The
enc proposed for Columbia, with univer
sity backing and university standards
cannot fail TO be helpful TO every person

Ireland's Friends

To the Editor OF The Tribune.
Sir: There is really only one Irish question
a question absorbing every other question
and that Is the question Of Kidding Ireland
Ct the English On that question the un-
bribed hearts Of Irishmen beat as one, for
the Orangemen are not Irshmen at all, but
are merely the British garrison in Ireland,
as they freely confess. Despite The Tribune,
ireland was never nearer that consummation
than to-day. Ireland docs not want German
rule nor British rule, but only Irish rule.
Nevertheless, she would prefer German rule
10 British rule, Cor she knows Germany could
not dominate Ireland without also dominat-
ing England. And Germany would have just
as much right TO turn England into German
province as England has TO turn Ireland into
an English province The real Irish attitude
is simple, and it is the attitude of 90 per cent
OF educated, normal, untrammclled Irishmen
namely. TINT the friends of England are the
enemies Of Ireland and the enemies OF Eng
land are the friends of Ireland, whether they
are German. Turk or Yang -tse- Kiangese.

Irish Stew.

Prom The Philadelphia Public Lcd0,rl
Phladel phia is TO have large part IN the
order OF the British government for 100000
900 one-pound tins Of Irish stew for the men
at the front, calling for prodigious quaint
ties Of beef. rice, onions, carrots and beans.
Though dietetic experts habitually disagree,
and ones mans meat is another snathems
Tommy in the field Is likely 10 agree with
some laboratorians at home that this is n
good fighting diet, calculated TO hold the
scurvy at arms length and easy TO prepare
under the arduous conditions Of field service,
where the resources OF genteel cookery are
not at hand. The japanese waged war against
the Russians upon rice, but Tommy requires
something more substantial. This Irish stew
concocted for his behoof appears TO be en-
rched by several ingredients that do not be
long TO the usual definition. One Of the die
tonaries says it is "a palatable dish Of NUT
ton, onions and potatoes, seasoned and stewcd
In water mixed with -four" Probably in this
country beef is much commorer than NUT
ton, and it is "A theme for sophomore debate

Battling Bob's" Defeat.

/ A very little more than four years ago.
in February, 1912, Senator La Toilette
addressed the members Of the Periodical
I Publishers Association at dinner III
PHILADELPHIA. His theme, the sins OF the
newspaper publishers, TO say the pest lot
it. was a hackneyed one, and he harped
upon it at interminable length, until ms
audience. withdrawing by twos and threes,
had left him talking TO an almost empty
room. That was the beginning of the end
for Battling Bob" He had reached his
bjcbwater mark in national politics; he
had got as far as lung power, practlcaiiy
Iunajdcd. will take a man. Since then ms
recession has been uninterrupted, and TO-
day Wisconsin herself refuses to "prerer
him for the Presidency.
The trouble with La Toilette has been
lack of substance, both physical and
mental. He broke down after that Phfla-
delphia speech, but mentally he had come
TO the end of his rope about the time he
ceased being Governor and became United
States Senator. He had been able to
identify himself with certain excellent
programme for the reform Of his state
government and, with the help of Uncle
Isaac Stephenson's money, to ride into
power and stay there.
But once he had carried through his
programme in Wisconsin he ceased to
grow. He did not possess Bryan's fertil-
itv in the invention Of new radical issues
In the larger sphere Of national politics
he ratified about disappointingly, though
deceiving not a few with the noise ne made
as an insurgent- Ofhand it would be
difficult to remember any piece OF con-
structive legislation with which he has
become identified in his decade as Sena-
tor except the recent disastrous seamen's
act. now discredited even in the eyes OF
labor.
In the quiet days before Armageddon
the sound Of La Follette's voice carried
further in the land But these be sterner
times. when the human larynx finds 1t I'M
possible to compete with the diapason OF
world conflict and q man stands out Tor
what he is worth. Battling Bob has
simply shrunk to his true proportions.

approach to the purple patch which Is

o,,ieter charm of bookish things. The out
standing merit Of that survey Of the cos
mos of London life which he made in our
columns for generation is that it has
both the weight of history and the fas-
cination of a work Of art. That is what
he made of journalism-an art. an instru-
ment dedicated to the things of the mind.
Can the journalist have higher ideal?

POWDER CURE FOR PACIF'ISM
When Shells Shrek People VIII Suddenly Develop
Into Warriors They Are Not Cowards-Peparedness Is Gen
uineP acihst Doctrine as 1t Should Prevent War

cfst is a product Of our overdeyeloped civili-
cation. We are too far from fundamentals.
Few OF us have ever faced grizzly suddenly.
{ At such moment, / tell you. one believes
in gun!) There are no pacihsts in the
countries that are at war. Our sincere pa
cfsts will rally if they once smell hostile
gunpOwder.
Unfortunately, there are many insincere
pacifsts in this country. sef-nterested poll
ticians. pusilanimists and paid lecturers
these being the worst. They bolster the
movement and find their strength in vast
silent class, which deserves the final word.
II was easy to find example in this typical
rural community. He guessed he would vote
for wilson" Why? Because we don't want
war; Wilson's kept us out of war" How
near war was did not concern him. As all
who advocate preparedness insist first Of all
on voting preparedness, | talked politics fur
Their. Them are just arguments said he
placidly. Well, that was true. He said, he,
"for one, left government affairs to politi-
clans it's their business, amt it?" That also
was true-too true. Such q voter will not in
terest himself in national affairs until q shell
drops on his farm. And his kind runs into
thousands and thousands, and accounts for
the vast areas Of silence Of which our poll
ticians are well aware.
Pacifsm is a pity. Passivity is implied In
its very name-that fat Of prosperity which
allows pleasant theories or selfshness. The
only cure seems TO be powder. Argument
with pacfst is futile; his specially is argu-
ment Should the powder begin TO burn and
men become silent would expect to see our
pacifsts most resolved of all in attempts TO
put the American flag behind some sort Of
barrier.
Let us hope they will not wait for that
fearful awakening. Let us hope that we can
still emulate the heroism OF Switzerland
rather than that of Belgium. r.

Merits of Prizef1ghting.

To the Editor Of The Tribune.
Sir: | would like to say few word. re-
garding the letter in this mornings Tribune
says that "prizeGghters are recruited from
the scum OF society" A man should be very
sure Of his ground before making such a
statement, and If he knew the first thing
about przefghters he would know that, above
all things they must be clean living, whole
some boys; that seven out Of ten come from
good clean, honest, if poor, families, and
that the boy who becomes a przefghter is
the one who, in all probability, Joined a gym
rasum simply for the exercise and pleasure
which are derived by hundreds Of boys, and
proved himself a little stronger and little
ADLER.
IL also says boxing has its merits for ex-
crcise, and il might be reasonably practised
at clubs with limited rounds and no prizes Of
money. / think he is little inconsistent. In
the first paragraph he says professional
prizefghtcrs come from the scum of society"
and in tho second paragraph says that the
amateur prizefghter can 20 on fighting.
Does he not know that it is by allowing the
amateur to fight the professional is created,
that the professional OF to-day !s the amateur
of yesterday? II prizefghting is wrong it
should be as wrong TO fight for prizes (Which
is always done at clubs as for money.
