Strong Words" which is nothing but a .sr-

This country has dealt lcnicntiy With Ger
many for the reason that We do not want
war. However. the President has minced no
words this time. and unless Germany toes
the mark 1t will find out that Mr.. Wilson has
not been blufing, as you have so often said
he has.
This letter is not written in an antagonis.ic
spirit. but in the hope that you will realize
that your constant criticism Of the President:
is not aiding your propaganda. VI. {.

To the Editor OF The Tribune.
Sir: Il gave me great pleasure 10 read
your editorial supporting Roosevelt. !: i'
logical that the country's most courageous
newspaper should support our most cour-
sgeous citizen il his fight for Americanism.
When, in 1912. Theodore Roosevelt mad the
courage TO refuse TO accept defeat az the
hands OF the Republican bosses | thought
that he had done the biggest and boldest
thing OF big and bold career. But since
then ne has shown still greater courage.
When the war broke out and every other pub
lie citizen was hiding behind the word neu-
trslity and praising President Wilson's
diplomacy, only Roosevelt had the courage 10
speak up for the right. He took up the is
sue when il was unpopular and has awak-
oned in the people a new patriotism. His
criticisms have stifened the backbone OF the
present Administration. and he exerts a
greater influence on our foreign policy than
any other citizen.
After the 4th Of March. 1917. the world
will know tha. we have President who is
not too proud 70 fight"

pany to the Board Of Estimate, pointing
out that the city is losing considerable
revenue by not granting franchises for
new motor bus routes will bring action on
that matter soon. Bids Of this company
and the New York Motor Bus Company
were submitted several months ago. and
elaborate hearings on the applications for
franchises were held. After that there
were amended applications, and the Board
cf Estimate began TO deliberate The qucs-
ton.
or course tho Board of Estimate is a
busy body Mayor Mitchell has had his
hands particularly full lately with the de-
tails of an extensive legislative programme
for the citys financial relief. Controller
Prendergast has been busy. aside from his

decision as soon as the board can reach it,
