American Teachers in Turkey
From The Philadelphia Ledger

The visit to this country of DR.. Mary
Mills Patrick, head Of Constantinople Col
lege founded for the instruction Of girls
and young women. brings home TO Ameri-
cans the quiet fortitude that in a distressful
time has continued a great work on the
Bosporus by American women for alien stu
dents OF many lands. Il parallels the edu-
cational enterprise for men in the name Of
Robert College, close at hand. The dean Of
the faculty Of Constantnople College, Louise
b. Wallace, is a doctor Of philosophy Of the
University Of Pennsylvania. The enrolment
Of students last year was 290. and last
month the registration had mounted 20 400
Since coal is lacking for the power house,
kerosene oil is not 10 be had and candles
are few, the students must do all their study
in the morning and spend dark evenings.
The cost OF food is from four 20 eight times
what il was before the war. Only a few
rooms at time can be heated, and classes
are migratory. Yet the college has gone
right on, and has grown amazingly, and its
report sounds the note OF triumph. not OF
complaint. Let the significant fact be noted
that last year the Turkish government sup
ported fourteen students who were 20 teach
in Turkish schools after graduating.

Women and the Balance of Power
To the Editor Of The Tribune.

To the Editor Of The Tribune.
Sir: In view of the recent movement in
the East against the disproportonate repre-
sentation Of the South in the Electoral
College, it might be well to consider what
would be the result 10 the State Of New
York if representation was based as it
should be, of course) on the size of the vot-
ing population. The balance of power in the
recent election for the first time lay in the
West, and the chances are that il will remain
there unless the State of New York can make
some move which will bring back her pres
tige as the determining factor in national
elections.
1t is obvious there is only one way in which
this can be done, and that is TO fight for pro-
portiCnal representation and increase the
voting population by enfranchising the
women. Congressman Hill, Of Connecticut,
a machine Republican, saw this movement
coming two years ago, and he publicly de-
clared il was the duty Of every Eastern Re-
publican to force Eastern women to vote in
order 10 maintain the balance of power Of
industrial communities over agricultural COM
munites.
Before Tammany Hall and the Republican
machine organize to defeat the woman's suf-
frage amendment, TO come before the voters
Of the State of New York in 1917, it might
be well 70 consider if such action will not
in the end react against the political su-
premacy Of their state.

The B. R. T. Tie-Up
To the Editor Of The Tribune.

To the Editor Of The Tribune.
Sir: In your valuable paper Of this date,
under the headline Brooklyn L Tied Up"
you state: Traffic on the Brighton Beach
and Fulton Street elevated lines was tied UP
nearly two hours, and thousands Of pas
sengers were forced to travel on surface
lines" Possibly. But the main point Is
omitted. viii YOU please add that after
the officials of the B. R. T. knew that there
was q blockade which would cause a long
delay they allowed thousands of passengers
to take many trains which were held up be-
tween stations, many for more than an hour.
so that scores OF passengers failed to catch
important trains at the Grand Central and
other railroad stations? r.

The Governors Food Board

Governor Whitman has done well to APP
point a commission to investigate the rea-
sons for the high cost Of living and recon-
mend remedial legislation. He has been
fortunate, too, in the personnel of the
commission he has selected-Mr. Perkins,
who has wide business experience and who
as head of Mayor Mitchel's food commit
tee has already given much study to this
problem; Senator Wicks, chairman, and
Mr.. Ward. counsel Of a legislative com
mittee which has delved into the condi-
tons of farmers in the state; Mr.. Lowell,
Master of the State Grange, and Mr..
Sims. manager Of one Of the states i'm
portant railroads. These men will bring
20 their work a valuable store Of accu-
mulated experience on the various angles
of this troublesome question which will
qualify them as experts and will assure in
their report as intelligent and broad
minded a discussion of the problem as the
public can expect 70 get from any such
body.
Despite its great agricultural interests,
New York State is by no means self-sufii-
cient in production Of foodstuffs. 1t
brings in vast quantities Of fruits, vege-
tables. meats, eggs, dairy products. fish,
from other states, and therefore will be
unable to reorganize the distribution sys-
tenn to cut costs except as that system con-
Germs the foodstuffs originating within the
state or foodstuffs after they reach the
state. But in that field there is ample op-
portunity for reconstruction TO bring the
producers and consumers closer together
to eliminate some Of the present inter
mediaries whose profits add to the ulti-
mate cost of food, 10 wipe out some of
the speculation which advances "the mar
ketr and punches holes in the time-hon-
ored law of supply and demand. The
share Of the consumers dollar which the
producer receives is too small compared
with what goes to others. What the con-
sumner receives for his dollar is ridiculous,
in view of the crops and the prices the
farmers get for them.
No state agency now exists which has
adequate power to remedy this evil. The
State Department of Foods and Markets
has endeavored TO bring down prices Of
various commodities by acting as middle
man for groups of farmers in selling their
produce at auction. But this, however
commendable in purpose, has been on so
small a scale that it has not affected mar
ket prices to any appreciate extent, and
if it has benefited anybody has benefited
retail dealers rather than consumers. Any
machinery recommended for lowering
prices by the Governors commission must
have more power and wider scope Of
action than the present Department of
Foods and Markets and wider plan and
vision behind it, too. II must make it
worth the farmers while TO produce big
crops and ship them all to market, and
must get them into retailers hands so di-
rectly and in such quantity that corners"
and price manipulations won't offer re-
wards to gamblers worth trying for.

THE CITY'S LICENSES
The Board of Aldermen Should Check the
Commissioner
six weeks.


To the Editor Of The Tribune.
Sir: I learn that the Welfare Committee
OF the Board of Aldermen is considering the
advisability of having members of their body,
together with the License Commissioner, de-
eide who should be the proper holders OF the
city's licenses, instead Of permitting the LII
cense Commissioner TO be the sole Judge OF
the qualifications Of the applicants for Ii
censes.
A short time ago, at dinner given in an
uptown hotel, License Commissioner George
n. Bell admitted that too much power was
vested in him. He admitted that he could
issue licenses TO friends of his and revoke
all licenses held by others. He said that
the Commissioner, under the law as it stands,
could do anything he chose with the clty's
licenses.
The writer believes that the system which
the Commissioner complains Of, whereby he
becones law unto himself, is just the thing
sought TO be remedied by the Board Of Alder
men. The License Commissioner cannot now
with good grace say that all his power is
being taken away from him.
Let the Board OF Aldermen be a check on
the Commissioner 1t is the easiest thing
in the world now for a Commissioner TO
build up personal machine-to be an au-
tocrat through whose hands about one hun
bred thousand licenses are issued. The Board
Of Aldermen, truly representative Of the
people, are making a move in the right diree-
ton when they seek to take away some OF the
License Commissioners power, which the Ii
cense Commissioner himself says should
never have been vested in him,

Dear ". I've been very busy at tho mos,
interesting military work we've yet done
You know, came down 70 Madero 70 help
them out guarding. 7 was sent out with
mixed detachment 70 an outpost about three
miles from camp. The detachment twenty
mem was 50 small and the work 20 be dons
great that we practically are on duty all
the time, either patrolling or guarding the
crossing Each patrol goes about FIVE miles
or ten miles on tour One squad is on duty
all the time either at one or the other.
The night before last when our squad was
patrolling the beach guard heard rowing on
the river in the shadow Of the Mexican sid.
Great excitement ensued, especially as N.
boat landed on the American side below our
camp. The guard succeeded in rounding up
the party, which consisted Of three men,
woman and small boy. They couldn't speak
English and we couldn't speak Espanol Tn.
men were not armed and the woman was sick
A very pathetic, yet romantic sight TO Sc.
the group of poor ignorant "Mexes" gathered
near our camp fire, with the fickering light
shining on the fixed bayonets Of the guard
We expected to turn them over to our c. o.
in the A. VI. Our patrol sent in note to
camp and much to our surprise an officer,
a doctor and an interpreter came out sbou.
a. m. This party got lost in the jungle,
and was rescued by our patrol When they
got TO our camp, they cross-ques:ioned the
prisoners and found that the oldest man va,
father TO the two others. The woman was
the wife Of one of the sons. The old man
lives in Mission, Tex, and had gone over
to Mexico to bring over the rest of the family.
The woman fell sick and they didn't dare
bring her in through Hidslgo, where the immi.
grafton authorities are. This was the sum
and substance Of the story, though the old
man was trying TO lie as much as possible.
1t turned out that the party did try to get
in through Hdalgo and were turned back
Then they tried the Side door, thinking
there were no "soldats" there. Il seems We
made quite a CATCH the first prisoners in the
regiments history.
This Is beautiful spot for a camp. in
little clearing just behind the brush al the
river bank. We are over a mile from III.

To the Editor OF The Tribune.
Sir: / am curious, seriously curious, TO

would close the movies" on Sundays.
Are they organized politically, these with
