Nostalgia
New York, Oct. s, 1916.

From The Westminster GaEette.)
The French guns roll continuously
And our guns, heavy, slow.
Along the Ancre, sinuously,
The transport wagons go,
And the dust is on the thstles
And the larks sing up on high. /.
But | see the Golden Valley
Down by Chepstow on the Wye.
For its just nine weeks last Sunday
That we took the Chepstow train,
And I'm wondering If one day
We shall take that train again;
For the four point twos come screaming
Thro' the sausages on high. :.
SO there's little use in dreaming
How we walked above the Wye.
Dust and corpses in the thistles
Where the gas-shells burst like snow,
And the shrapnel screams and whistles
On the Becourt road below,
And the High Wood bursts and bristles
Aud the mine clouds foul the sky
But I'm with you up at Winderoft
Over Tintern on the Wye.

The Shakespeare Garden in Central Park

To the Editor of The Tribune
Sir: Everybody who has a moment Of
leisure ought to go at once to see the Shake
speare garden in Central Park. 1t is the
Ioveliest thing in the world, or, at least in the
city. and whoever has once seen it will in
sist upon its being kept in existence by the
Department of Public Parks. The cost of 1t
is only fifteen hundred dollars a year-the
merest trfe in comparison with the pleasure
which it affords. When the artistic instinct
and the devotion of DR.. Southwck have once
created it, it would be objectionable to let it
be destroyed. On Sunday it is full of peo-
pie, all moved by its beauty, and all incapable
of believing that it is not to be continued.
If community music is good thing, as we
have found il to be, so also is the community
spirit that is Immediately developed among
the lovers Of gardens who frequent this won
der spot everybody speaks 10 everybody, and
TO the gentle gardener in charge, and one
comes away with the feeling that all is not
yet to be despaired of in this troublous
world.

The Peril of Small Boats

To the Editor of The Tribune.
Sir: To me II is an inhuman act TO drive
women and children, or men for that matter
into open boats many miles from land and
then calmly blow up the vessel they were on
Suppose a violent storm came on. The Ger
mans would say it's the passengers own look
out Suppose all were drowned in such storm
Would international law say it was justiia
Bile? II so international law must be changed
that's all
1t is ridiculous that these barbarisns can
invade our waters, use our ports and perpe-
trate these outrages and our warshps stand
idly about, calmly waiting and watching
under Wilson's orders-waiting, | suppose
for the women to drown, when Wilson will
write a new note! j. 5. WOOD.

Social Justice Working Backward

There is no misunderstanding Of the
Adamson "eight-hour law" by the railroad
workers who are not to obtain its benefits
Mr.. Robert T. Frazier, jr., chairman of a
committee representing them, reports
The Adamson law simply raised the
wages of the highest paid class of railway
employees. We, the so per cent outside the
brotherhoods, certainly are opposed to any
advances to these men if they initiate
against advances to the lower paid en-
poyes. In word, if there is to be legis-
lation on the subject Of compensation we
want it to cover the whole field fairly and
equitably."
That is precisely what the law advo-
Gated by the President and passed by Con-
gress under the club of the brotherhoods
did not do. 1t was class legislation of the
most fragrant variety, taking money from
railroad revenues for the benefit of small
group Of employees already favored, to the
inevitable detriment of far larger num-
Ter of workers who needed pay increases
worse than the brotherhoods' members. II
was social justice working backward-giv-
ing TO those who already had fair per
centage of this worlds goods and taking
from these under dogs of the railroad
world what small chance they had of i'm.
proving their condition.
All this the brotherhoods and President
Wilson, who espoused their cause, chose To
ignore. The so per cent group sent repre-
sentatives to Washington while the
brotherhood chiefs and the railroad presi-
dents were conducting their negotiations
but they failed TO gain a hearing then from
the President, and have had none since
They lacked the advantage Of organization
which would enable them TO take strike
vote, and with this dynamite" menace the
welfare of the nation. Therefore, their
pleas FOR betterment Of working conditions
could not make any Roadway with the
President, whatever their justice They
are now preparing 10 urge Congress TO in
vestigate the entire field Of railroad hours
Of work and wages. That is far fairer
and decenter procedure than the method
Of obtaining q raise in wages employed by
tho brotherhoods. But such an investga-
ton, If held, must show that the railroads,
having had the big increase in pay to the
100000 favored by the President saddled
on 70 them by mandatory legislation, can
i'll afford 20 pay the 100000 other en-
ployes more money out Of present revenues,
which the railroads are in no position at
present 10 augment by increased freight
rates.
The 50 per cent group have a definite,
heavy grievance against President Wilson

STREET SPEAKING ON SEX
The Topic of Birth Control Debated al
Madison Square
To the Editor of The Tribune.

To the Editor OF The Tribune.
Sir: While walking past Madison Square
this week at the place where speakers rep
resenting various political, religious and
other organizations hold forth, | was as
founded to catch few phrases from speech
that evidently was being delivered on birth
control.
The atmosphere surrounding this meeting
was nausesting, and such meetings should
not be allowed. | am firm believer in free
speech within reason, but do not think that
subject of this kind ought to be allowed
in our public squares, especially when the
speaker-a most repulsive looking youth
must be too young TO know what he is talk
ing about. and where the gathering is COM
posed, as it was the other day, OF mostly
Young office boys and girls or those en-
poyed in the neighborng Office buildings
who are spending their MONDAY recreation
time in this way.
One of the most disgusting features OF
this particular meeting was a group com
pose of two young girls, apparently not over
sixteen years old, and two men much older
than they, porting over a book that had eyl-
IDENTIFY been sold in connection with this
meeting. The title of the book | could not
see in passing this group, but as | walked
bv my eye caught the name Of the chapter
tite-"Sex Passion"
There are some who are so prudish as TO
oppose the teaching Of sex hygiene in our
nublic schools How much better by 1ar
would il be if this subject were proper y
handled by those who are competent to 90
so in a scientific way than to have our youth
become saturated with morbid thoughts gwen
them in the revolving way referred TO above!

New-York tribune. [volume] (New York [N.Y.]) 1866-1924, 1916-10-13
To the Editor Of The Tribune.

10 the EEllOr OF ne lripuNc-
Sir: Another instance of the hypocrisy and
preterce Of the Democrats now comes to light.
While disloyal German Americans OF the
Truth Society type are being hurled by tele-
graph out of the front door, hyphenates OF q
different complexion are being ushered in at
the back door of the Democratic house.
The Latin-American Wilson Club has been
organized, under the encouragement of the
Democratic campaigners, and is urging voters
Of Latin American extraction and all Span
ish speaking American citizens to support the
President. The appeal Of this organization is
made on grounds fundamentally dsloyal TO
the United States. Support is asked for the
President, not for what he has done for the
United States, but for what he is alleged TO
have done for foreign countries, because, it is
alleged, "he is the tried friend of Latin
American countries, the helper Of Mexico in
her misfortunes"; because "he has uniformly
shown a wholesome respect for the possibili-
ties, patriotic susceptbilities and actually
growing greatness Of the Latin-American re-
publics."
The disloyalty Of such an appeal is self
evident: These men, equally with the I'M
faithful German-American, are violating the
oath of citizenship whereby they forswore
allegiance to their former soveregns. Their
arguments have no place in our politics.
Needless to say, the appeal will fall fiat
Not only are naturalized citizens of Latin
American extraction, with very few excep-
lions, heartily loyal to their adopted country,
but they will also be the first to recognize
the absurdty, on the facts, of the plea.
Americans, whether natural born or natural
lied. who are in touch with Latin American
affairs know that the Wilson Administration
has hindeTed, not helped, our Southern neigh
bors. "fhe helper of Mexico in her mis-
fortunes"-God save the mark! The facts
are too we'll known to need comment.
Few doubt that the President had good in
tentions, in q dreamy, vague, impractical sort
Of way, to help these countries. Never before
was there such an opportunity TO furnish
practical help Of the kind most needed-hnan-
cial and technical services in the develop
ment of rich natural resources. But in view
of the woful desertion of American rights
in Mexico, of the supineness of our govern
ment in protecting American lives and prop
erty, our investors and our technical men

The Little Children of the Lusitania

The little children walk upon
Tho cold floor of the sea.
Lord Christ, p0here hare o1tr bodies gone
Hon. far from heauen are we?
These are our souls-how strange the
seem
We cannot laugh or play,
But up and down, as in dream,
We walk by night and day.
We saw the Irish fields of green;
The gulls were flying by;
When suddenly hand unseen
Sent us down here to die.
To die-and yet we are not dead
Cannot they hear us call?
lie answers not who might have said
The word to save us all.
Yea, we are utterly forgot
Lord Christ, how can it be?
For we would walk in heaven, and not
Stay here beneath the sea.
But we must stay-we cannot go.
Oh, would that we could fit
In phantom shapes before him, 80
He might remember it!
Even his cold heart might feel . thrill
OF pity for us then,
And scourge our murderers until
We were rcloased apain
The little children matk upon
The cold floor Of the sea.
Lord Christ, for iohdt he has not done
Renounce him utterlyl T.

No WabbIing in the Hughes Family

To the Editor of The Tribune.
Sir: To any one who doubts the sagacity,
ability and desire of Governor Hughes to
conduct the affairs of the nation In a truly
American fashion, should like to state that
am supremely confident that even his son,
Charles Evans Hughes, jr., could guide us
without indulging In any Of the weak, dis
graceful and ever-changing moves of the
spineless "surrenderer." IL is really an in
suit to young Mr. Hughes to intimate that
any one questions that he is not n better
American than Wilson.
