Naval Training for Civilians.

Thanks TO Plattsburg, the summer
training camp for civilians who want tt
acquire some military knowledge is a IA
milar quantity. 1t is now to be supple
mented by a summer training cruise II
connection with the man9uvres of the fleet
The Navy Department has authorized the
recruiting of civilians for this cruise, last
ing from August Is to September ~. They
will be assigned to reserve battleships, &C
per cent of the crew to be civilians, the re-
naming 40 per cent to be regular sailors
On shipboard the recruits will receive
practical training, part of each day being
spent in study, in order to bring out any
special aptitude for specialized duties
which the recruits may possess.
The cost of this cruise is slight-S30 for
uniform and board, plus the transporta
tion to and from the ship to which the re-
cruit may be assigned. The benefits to tht
individual are obvious-a cheap, interest
/ ing. healthful and distinctly novel vaca
ton. Beyond that, though, is the benefit
to the country of broadening knowledge Of
the navy, of quickening popular interest ir
its work, Of enrolling a body of men who
in emergency could be called on to serve
with the assurance that they would be II
some degree qualified, and of fostering anC
iheightening Americanism.
Since America has ceased to be sea
faring nation interest in things nautica
has gradually simmered down to the racing
of yachts and the speeding of motor boats
Popular concern over the desperately in
adequate state of the army has produced
widespread manifestations of desire to re
pair national indifference by individual
and group preparedness. There should b.
at least as keen an interest in forming ;
sort of civilian reserve with some specia
knowledge, some degree Of preparation, fo
service in the navy if emergency arise
The naval training cruise for civilians Of
fers the opportunity for good American
to benefit themselves and to show thei
willingness to help their country whel
necessary. 1t deserves to be popular ant
successful.

Why Germany Hates England.

To the Editor Of The Tribune.
Sir: always read with much interest
your editorials and articles on the war, but
can't feel that Germany regards England's
failure as so complete as your editorial un
der that heading implies. In her latest peac'
terms Germany lays great stress on the re-
turn of her colonies wrested from her by
Great Britain and upon the freedom of the
seas" which she claims England prevents hel
from enjoying. She also appeals to the
President to induce England to modify hel
blockade (and threatens to resume her sub
marine policy if we are unable to accom-
plish this) so that she may import food
and other things which she desires.
think the war has shown that Germany
hates what she fears, and anything which
blocks her in obtaining any of her ends; anc
there appears TO be no nation which she
hates as she does England This seems to me
significant.
No one will say that England mas made
no mistakes. but that she has acconplishe-
far more than Germany expected ter tc
seems fairly evident to a deeply interested
American. T.

T. R. OR NOTHING
Only by His Nomination Can the Hyphen
Vote Be Baked.
To the Editor Of The Tribune

To the Editor of The Tribune.
| Sir: Are Mr.. Barnes and his associate
members Of the so-cslled "old guard" utterly
devoid Of the least spark Of patriotism or con-
cern for this sorely tried land Of ours7 Have
they no sense Of the first and only duty which
confronts the true American OF political In
fuence in this great crisis Of our national
history? As leaders of large faction Of the
Republican party-heretofore always the
party Of true Americanism-do they feel no
responsibility to their country? Apparently
shey see in the coming campaign nothing
more serious or important than a sordid bat
tie for Office and political patronage. The
man in the street cries for real leader. Nr
Barnes and his ilk seek only to deprive him
of that for which his soul yearns.
Thrilled as l was by the spirit Of the mag
niicent preparedness parade and profoundly
as | believe in real preparedness Of ths
sort which will insure national safety and
peace for all time. nevertheless preparedness'
TO my mind, is not the only paramount issue
The sinister menace Of the hyphen is equally
important That is why | am for Theodors
Roosevelt first, last and all the time-snd for
him alone
Mr. Roots Carnegie Hall speech rang true
but should he be nominated at Chicago his
utterances would be pitched in a key de-
signed to allure the German-American vote
First Of all, Mr. Root is a politician OF the
old school. Votes are votes. Mr.. Hughes
| immured within the sacred precincts OF tns
Supreme Court, says nothing. What does he
stand for? ! don't know. Roosevelt. Root,
Hughes of this trio will be the Repub-
lican candidate for President Of the United
States, and Of the three Roosevelt, and ns
alone has had the courage 70 come squarey
to the front and, man fashion, tell the people
what he stands for and why he thus STANDS
The others arc assiduously refraining from
antagonizing the German American yote'
which the blatant leaders Of the hyphenates
assure US is the balance of power in Ameri-
can politics.
I have heard so much incipient treason
preached in the last year and a half that ny
gorge has risen, and now | want this allegeo
Iall-powerful German American vote 70 stana
up and be counted. I want to see Mr. wilson
nominated by the Democrats-as, of course,
ne will be-and Roosevelt named By the re-
publicans And then | want 20 see what tns
lhyphenates will do next. Let US separate mo
sheep from the goats and have IL done WIN
They say they will not vote for Wilson. As-
suredly they will not vote for Roosevelt ths
incarnation Of uncle Sam uber Allies" They
are simply disfranchised or compelled 20 re-
sort to the expedent Of third ticket pos
siby headed by Henry Ford or Herr Hearst
SO much the better.
And so my own private platform IS SIMPLY
this: IT r. or nothing h. l.. r.

DR.. J. William White.
From The Philadelphia Record


Dr.. White was not only an eminent sur
eeon, whose fame had extended all over the
country and had reached foreign lands, but
he was good citizen, an extremely useful
man in the community and leader in every
thing that he took part in and he took part
in almost everything that concerned the
well-being Of the community.
DR.. White was not more eminent as sur
ceon than he was as an instructor in surgery
II was a great loss 70 the university wien
his health obliged him to retire from active
work as professor. The most extraordinary
proof Of his complete absorption in his pro-
fession was afforded when he was the SUBJ
jcot, instead OF the operator. and refused "a
take an nnssthetic so that he might watch a
most unusual operation performed on him
self Much Of that wonderful enthusiasm for
his profession he was able to impart to his
students.
As trustee OF the University OF Penn
sylvania he rendered important public SER
vices, particularly in the encouragement and
regulation Of athletics. He fully appreciated
their value, but he regarded them inteli-
gently and did not underestimate their need
Of regulation. His intimacy with Mr. Roose-
Welt is dated from his championship Of foot
ball against the condemnation OF il By Dr.
Charles Eliot But he took leading par,
in removing from the game some of the
features whics were particularly open to
r-ifirisrp-
New-York tribune., 1916-05-29

certain capitalists TO rob the American
people Of their scenery. The real weak
ness Of his position is not that he has
failed TO gain sufficient publicity, but tna'
he has failed TO convince the world that
those who entertain opposite opinions must
needs be sordd or selfish or corrupt.
That his association, as he tells us, mas
no capital" is circumstance of little rele-
vancy, and that he himself is UNPAID 49,
at most. evidence of his disinterestedness.
This point, however has never been dis-
puted and has no bearing on the question
at issue. 1t is one of those points CON
stantly dwelt upon by the opponents OF
preparedness in other aspects, by such
people as Mr.. Ford and Mr.. Max Eastman
If they are 10 be credited, the real object
of preparedness is only to enrich the man
ufacturers of armor plate and munitions
But are they to be credited?
Probably Mr.. Mcfarland is satisfied In
his own mind that such engineers as Dr.
Louis Bell are thinking only of their own
ultimate financial advantage that Pro
fessor Lands and his associates are gov
erned entirely by sordid motives, and that
the late Lord Kelvin's lament over the un-
developed state of Niagara Falls was really
inspired by "a pocket interest Either
that. or that they were all duped by the
capitalists and too stupid or too pigheaded
n recognize the truth as established by
the reformers of the American Civic Asso-
citation. The assumption is little difficult
to accept. Mr.. Mcfarland and his friends
are doubtless sincere. but to many they ap
pear wrong-headed and unreasonable, not
to say insolent, in declaring that all who dis
agree with them have joined their oppo-
nents without investigation or for mo-
tives of direct personal interest"
New-York tribune., 1916-05-29

ton these trouble breeding suggestions,
made on the initiative of the United
States? What has this country done under
Mr.. Wilson'S leadership TO deserve the role
Of arbiter at worlds peace conference
We have kept out of the war, and have
made money by keeping out of It, Every
beIigerent despises us. We have no mill
tary power with which TO support Ameri-
can demands. The nations which have
expended billions of dollars and sacrificed
hundreds of thousands Of lives, and which,
even when the war ends. will be much more
formidable, either singly or IN groups
than the United States is. will smile at
the idea of accepting such fantastic peace
conditions as Mr.. Wilson has elaborated.
If they make peace as things stand now
it will be only a truce-a breathing space
between wars. If one group conquers, that
group will enforce its terms upon the van
auished. But in neither case can the
United States hope to appear as the real
peacemaker, as the power which, without
blood or travail, without sacrifices or an
guish. is to impose on the world new
order-a political readjustment of the sort
which the power making it has never yet
achieved in history without long and cruel
effort and lavish outpouring of blood.
Mr.. Wilson sadly overestimates the
moral as well as the political influence of
the United States and the standing of his
leadership in the eyes of the world when
he optimistically pictures himself as the
dictator of the terms on which peace is to
return. Those who have borne the heat
and burden of the fight for civilization, or
for the Prussianifcation of Europe, will
make the peace
Bitter as the reflection may be to us, 1t
would be folly for the powers which have
fought for existence or for empire to call in
as an arbitrator, clothed with plenary
power. the neutral government whose pol
icy in this great world crisis has been best
expressed in Mr.. Wilson's own words when
he told Congress that this was war
"whose causes cannot touch us" and with
which 1--WE have nothing to do"

Rebels. Roman Catholic and Protestant.

To the Editor OF The Tribune.
Sir: The interesting excerpt from "The De

cernng the Protestant rebels in Ireland. while
in the main correct, contains one or two
errors, which ask permission to note. Con

Plunketts St. Enda's school, mentioned in

Sir: No one seems 70 have called stten
ton 10 the important point that II Mr.
Hughes should be nominated as the canddat,
for President on the Republican ticket, ,hs
he. in resgning from his position upon tho

vacancy to be filled by Mr.. Wilson. We have
already seen the kind OF man that NJ. vii
