NOT A POTASH SUBSTITUTE.

The U. S. Department of Agricul-
ture have recently received many in
quiries with reference to the use of
finely ground feldspar' as fertilizer
in place of potash salts which are
practically unobtainable at the pres
ent time on account of the European
war.
The Department wishes to warn
the farmers of the country that it
does not recommend ground feldspar
as substitute for potash as a fer
tilizer and that the expenditure of
money for ground feldspar for fertil-
izer purposes will probably not re-
suit in any commensurate increase
in crop yields.

SELF POISONING
Few Realize Causes of This Form of
Ailment.

Few realize what a great number
of people, among those who live in
such cities as this, suffer from auto
fntoxication. This condition. which
has caused so much discussion, is
nothing more or less than slow self
poisoning of vital organs. It is the
very foundation of many ailments.
Whei the organs become weaken
ed from any cause they are unable to
throw off the accumulations of waste
matters. The putrefactive germs
soon begln>to get in their deadly work
and the sufferer finally is direct
victim of poison generated right in
his own system.
Among the common results of this
auto-intoxication are jaundice, hare
cold, constipation, indigestion. anc
fermenting of food biliousness, sicl
headache backache, diarrhea, dizzi

nervousness.

safely said to be true in connection with all
other diseases with the possible exception OF
smallpox, against which the only true vacci-

was the famous turtle serum, which so greatly

THE SHIPPING BILL
Some observations from a Pronounced
McAdooite.

To the Editor of The Tribune.
Sir: Before indulging in column long
editorial attack on the government shipping
bill II would have been we'll if you had first
familiarized yourself with the provisions OF
the bill. No limit of time is set for the con-
struction or purchase Of vessels by the ship
ping board and the selling or chartering Of
such vessels to United States citizens. The
time limit of five years applies only to the
operation of the vessels by corporations in
which the United States is a stockholder.
You characterize as pork" the s50,000,000
to be appropriated by the act. This money is
to be used solely "to construct and equip, or
to purchase, vessels suitable, as far AS the
commercial requirements of the marine trade
of the United States may permit, for use as
naval auxliaries or army transports, or for
other naval military purposes"
II this one appropriation of s50,000,0 900 for
naval and military auxiliaries, which be
usefully and proftably employed in time Of
peace, is "squandering on useless, pork-barrel,
government-owned ships" as you term it,
what shall we call the expenditure of ten
times s50,00O0O0 every year for warships, for
which The Tribune has been shouting itself
blue in the face?
You may depend upon it that the shipping
board will get full value in useful ships for
the money which it will expend, and the pri-
vate interests for whom The Tribune is so
solicitous will have the fullest opportunity
to buy or charter these ships. This arrange
ment may not suit certain Wall Street inter
ests who wish to hog and control the steam
ship business for themselves. but what honest
objection can The Tribune have to it?
You say, 1850, 100000 spent (by the govern
ment) on ships would not relieve the situa.
ton for day or an hour" This is, of course,
an exaggeration which your advertising man
aser would not permit advertiser in The
Tribune to indulge in. 1t is, however, char
acteristic OF the whole editorial. Permit me
to set you right as to the s50000,000 pro-
vided for in the act. The act specifically
provides that the government shall sell or
charter the vessels which it acquires; there
fore, with the proceeds from the sale or char
ter of the vessels acquired by the board under
the act, additional vessels can be built and
sold without end.
Do not permit your chagrin at the fact that
a Democratic Administration is about to pass
legislation which will give an effective
merchant marine to blind you TO the truth
II is, admit, bitter pill to swallow in view
of the fact that the Republican party, though
IL was in power, almost uninterruptedly, for
more than half a century, during all of that
time did not do anything toward giving the
country a merchant marine.

Blood, Iron and Humor.

A certain amount of delicate civility tow
ard things Teutonic we have grown TO
expect from those few, favored corre-
spondents who are graciously permitted to
write under the awe-inspiring trumpet
call of date line beginning, Great
Headquarters of General Won Linsingen's
Armies in Volhynia." Some price must be
paid for a ruffIe of German drums. BY
el means let it be tact-and courtesy-as
of one world figure to another.
But we really think tact bows little
too low, soft adjectives oozing admiration
become bit too soft, in the cables of Mr..
Cyril Brown, staff correspondent Of the
New York Times" (by courier to Berlin)
now on duty at the Eastern front 1t was
the tremendous personality" of his host,
General Won Linsingen, that first un-
buttoned the eloquencc of this sympathetic
guest Thereafter he seems to have taken
his cue from the soft, oozing slush of the
famous Volhynian marshes. From a
"close-cropped battle coiffure' to super
Rooseveltian vitality" the great general
is painted in adjectives calculated to make
almost any cheek with the possible ex-
ception of the identical cheek in question,
to wit, a Prussian generals) blush and
blush again.
From the compelling, powerful per-
sonality" of the commander, the adjectives
naturally spill over upon the battle Golf
fures of the "Linsingen brood" of staff
officers, lean, keen-eyed, determined
jawed, saturnine, ruthless fighters" No
wonder courteous Mr.. Cyril Brown felt
almost sorry for Brussiloff and his Cos
sacks" One trembles for the safety of
Petrograd as one reads of the family
blowout" whereat the staff gathered about
"a twenty foot-long table decorated with
flowers and clinking bric-a-brac," singing
deutschland iiber Allies" and sounding
again and again "the Jaeger cheer and
cry-a triple 'horrido' which
the whole pack gave with a lusty will"
Poor Brussiloff, indeed
We see only one spot IN which Mr..
Browns foot, pressing affectionately into
the Volhynian slush, seems to have stuck
fast. That is in the rather tactless ref
erence to a huntsman's cry. We are not
familiar with the triple 'horrido.'" But
there was pack that hunted in Belgium
once; and for it "horrdo" would have
made perfect call. Echoes thereof have
become bad form, even in far off
Volhynia.

CAPTAIN Fryatt's Execution.

The master of the steam packet Brussels
has been shot by order of German court
martial because he Attempted on March
%. 1915. while near the Mas Lghtship,
70 ram the German submarine U-33.' His
fate is evidently intended as warning
to the officers of the British mercantile
marine of the grave danger of attempting
to defend themselves.
Resistance against submarine attacks has
always been regarded by the Germans as
an objectionable crime. About the same
time as Captain Fryatt turned on U-33,
another British officer, Captain Bell of the
Thordis, was officially congratulated for
similar feat. This incident was regarded
in Germany as most shocking. There can
not be the least doubt" said the "Lokal-
anzeiger," that by this official action of
the King England has lost any claim to
further observance by our submarines OF
the ordinary rules of naval warfare'-as
if those rules had ever been observed. And
much indignation was expressed at the
wiles of English merchant ships and the
essential wickedness of refusing to submit
passiyely to destruction at the hands of
Germany's gallant submarine warriors.
The German way of thinking in this
matter is as peculiar as in many others.
1t may be recalled that in the memorandum
of February 10 the German government
complained bitterly of the manner in which
British merchantmen attempt to escape
CAPTURE. Fifteen instances were cited in
which they had actually saved themselves,
and in several cases the attacking subma-
rines had been forced TO submerge in order
10 avoid destruction. Now, according to
the Germans, these merchantmen had no
right whatever to make the task OF the
submarines so difficult. If the commanders
were properly of the armed forces Of their
country il would be different Thus when
. German submarine officer torpedoed the
Messenger steamer Arabic he was within
his rights. because he was forced by the
circumstances of the situation to the con-
viction that the steamer was on the point
of ramming his vessel" That was "justifi
able self-defence." But a similar convic-
tion on the part of merchantmen can by
no means be excused because self-defence
in his case is never justifable. Hence when
Captain Fryatt attempted TO run down the
U-33 he committed or tried to commit a
crime, for which he has paid the penalty
sixteen months later.
In the year in which Captain Fryatt
made the fatal mistake of attempting to
save his ship from destruction Germany's
licensed submarine assassins torpedoed and
sank forty unarmed British vessels with
out the slightest warning Of any sort.
New-York tribune., 1916-07-29
The Car Strike.

The PROPOSAL of the Association of Rail
wav Employees to call city-wlde trac-
tion strike adds another threat to
situation already packed with serious in
convenience and danger to the general
public. What The Bronx has been facing
for the past DAYS may confront the whole
city Such a contest ceases to be a private
economic struggle. 1t assails the well
fare of all New York and must be re-
garded as of vital public concern.
The first point to be made clear is that
violence on the part of the strikers is IN
tolerable and certain to defeat its own
ends. We hope that the leaders OF the
strikers are awake to this fact ana
possess the courage and ability to enforce
their view. Nothing could be as fatal to the
demands of the men as brutal disregard
of the public's safety. We have no doubt
that Commissioner Woods will see that
order is enforced But enforcement should
not be necessary. 1t should be the first
activity of the strike leaders to hold their
men within the bounds OF lawful picket
ing and public order.
With that condition fulfilled, it is the
duty of the railway companies to meet
the men in a spirit of fairness and i'm
partiality. The disputed points are not
vet clearly stated. But it seems a late
day for resort TO any such obsolete
weapon as a city-wide strike. The traffic
service so vitally affects the health, COM
fort and prosperity of the entire city that
no wanton disagreement can be endured.
Arbitration has avoided countless strikes.
Why can it not solve the present dispute!
A heavy burden of blame will rest on the
railways concerned if they do not extend
every effort to meet the demands of their
employees by negotiations if possible, by
submission to an impartial court, if need
