sink merchantmen without warning and,
on the other not put any armament what
ever on merchant vessels.
That was a fair enough proposition. But
the Secretary Of State attached this GU
rious postscript to his January memoran-
dunn:
81 should add that my government IS
impressed with the reasonableness Of
the argument that merchant vessel
carving an armament of any sort, in
view of the character of submarine
warfare and the defensive weakness of
undersea craft, should be held to be
an auxiliary cruiser, and so treated by
neutral as we'll as by belligerent
government, and is seriously. consider
ing instructing its officials accord
ingly."
That was a clear departure from the
position which the United States had taken
previously and to which it now returns. 1t
forecast an attempt on the part Of the
United States, acting singly, to change the
existing rules of sea warfare to accommo-
date them to the new conditions created by
the development of the submarine.
Fortunately this false step was recon
sidered. The United States did not change
the rules, and did not thus topple over the
whole structure of its argument against
changes in time of war. The memorandum
Of August 81 retrieves Mr.. Lansing
earlier blunder and reestablishes the con-
sistency of this country's policy on an
issue Of vast consequence-one involving
the stability and security of neutral rights
in time of war. 1t is all the more welcome
and valuable on that account.

An Enormous Mistake.

To the Editor of The Tribune.
Sir: My experience of many years in deal
ing with homeless men and released crim-
nails in the city Of New York makes me say
most emphatically that 1t would be an enor-
nous mistake Of the city Of New York to
give up the free employment bureau. Intel
ligent people do not give up life insurance
just because they happen to feel particularly
well. The present ability Of the Public En-
ployment Bureau to find jobs should give the
bureau time to extend and develop its work.
There 10 big problem before II still in
the placing Of released prisoners, in co6pera-
ton with other organizations working ex-
clusively to that end. This Is only one of
many branches that could and ought to be
developed. o. F. LEWIS,
General Secretary the Prison Association OF
New York.

To the Editor Of The Tribune.

To the Editor OF The Tribune.
Sir: That former Attorney General OF
the United States and onetme Secretary OF
State under so brave a Democrat as Grover
Cleveland should write such an astounding
apology for Wilsonisn cowardice as the re-
cent outgiving of Mr.. Richard Olney shows
the deplorable straits to which supporters OF
the present Administration have been reduced.
Recognizing that German frightfulness IN
methods Of warfare" was wholly indefensible
from the viewpoint Of American rights and
American lives" Mr. Olney emits this pitiful
wall:
"But what was a peaceful, completely IN
armed and neutral nation to do about the
matter! 1t was in no position to put up uiti-
matums or to rattle the sabre, and to plunge
IN. country into war with Germany would
have been a piece Of insanity sure to be fol-
lowed BY national humiliation and disaster
Such Is tho counsel of cowardice Mt Olney
offers q great nation-the same counsel which
has ruled at Washington the last four years
Mr.. Olney should have succeeded the lmmor-
tai Bryan as Secretary Of State under WILSON,
where he would have felt much more at home
than in the official family Of a President VINO
fearlessly defended the rights Of the nation
against labor union and employer alike IN
stead Of betraying one hundred million OF ms
fellow citizens through abject fear OF rev
insolent labor leaders.
But Mr.. Olney's plea In extenuation OF the
present Administrators admittedly bad rec
ord raises many questions which the Ameri-
can people would like to have answered before
November. II we were Completely unarmed,
as Mr.. Olney says, why did Mr. Wilson tell the
country that our navy was adequate Tor our
needs and condemn as nervous and excited"
those who were urging proper military pre-
paredness7 II we were ain no position to put
up ultimatums," why did Mr.. Wilson send MS
"strct accountability" note, his "omit no WORD
or act" note, his deliberately unfriendiy'.
note. and all the other "last words" each OF
which In its turn was hailed by Administra-
ton papers as an "ultimatum" which left no
loophole for German evasion? If we were IN
no position to "ratte the sabre" why did MI
Wilson rattle II and keep on rafting it at
intervals for many months, during which
Germany laughed at the sound while she muir
dered our women and children, knowing the
weakling dare not unsheath the blade? II
we failed to defend our rights because we
were too weak to fight, as Mr.. Olney AYERS,
why did Mr.. Wilson hypocritically tell the
world il was because we were too proud to
fight?
In excusing Mr.. Wilson's feeble perform
ances Mr.. Olney tells us that Mr.. Lincoln was
another President who felt that redress for
wrongs done our citizens must wait until II
could be enforced, as we'll as demanded

CONSUMERS, ORGANIZE!
This Victim Declares That the Time fol
Conversation Has Passed.
To the Editor Of The Tribune.

To the Editor Of The Tribune.
Sir: There is just one object in this ehor'
to chip in my two cents and aid "A Victim
who wrote so ably in your issue Of October
7. That object is to organize-to do some
thing.
Conversation is the national pastime in
America. A handful Of shrewd money get
tiers sheer at our prattle and go on getting
The politicians divide US over artinciai
tissues" and 60 on getting.
Can you not see that it cannot long en-
dure7 Can the unorganized middle classes
stand the increasing costs indefinitely? Con-
sumers' societies, properly incensed, might
do some good, but it cannot be made out Of
conversation, as so many Of our previous ef-
forts have been. We must organize IN a
deeply serious effort to wrest the power from
the money kings, or mad people will, at no
distant day, take their wealth from them.
This American breed Of cats is not different
from the French breed.
Now, "a Victim" are you ready to start !
Are you ready to suffer in the interest OF
relief rather than without relief as you are
now? Are you ready to give part OF your
remaining years toward saving the future
from a much worse situation than we now
endure?
Are the meat barons whining over the
scarcity of meat? Well, let them keep It.
1t is not just that our hard working packers
should be without cold storage.
Let us organize powerful society, with
most stringent oath to restrict demand. Our
difficulty has been that we are not organized.
The men who work with their hands are
much wiser than we who think we think.
The time for conversation has passed. Let
us emulate the sentiment contained in the
most eloquent sentence Of all time: THE
way to resume is TO resume" Like Greeley,
am tired of everything but action.
"A Victim" is invited to send his address
to the Editor of The Tribune, who will, |
trust, communicate it through these columns

The Victory.
From The Nation

From The Ndtior)
The great. broken Victory,
With mighty wings and breast,
Backfowing robes, and light
Feet that are touched with flight;
The white, moving Mystery,
Eternally storm-pressed-
All, what is she?
watch her royal pose,
Her strong wings backward beating,
And her proud bosom, meeting
A wind that harshly blows;
And the heart within me cries
For sight of those lost eyes
How all the might of her
Would gather in their gaze,
And all the light OF her
Flame in their morning-rays.
But, as I watch, see
My dream take form!
Above the wings wide grace,
Against the burning blue,
Grows dimly into view
A white, ecstatic face,
With listening look intent
In the deep, heedful eyes.
As one. with force unspent,
Who hears wild thunders rise,
And meets the STORM
The great, living Victory.
With mighty wings and breast,
With passionate conflict stressed,
And that high, visioned face
Wrought in supernal space,
All, who is she?
Steadfast, yet gracious; feet,
And magically strong
Hers are the venturing feet,
Hers are the lips Of song,
And hers the starry glance
The flaming soul-of France.

blockades. But Germany has now demon
strated that this will not be the case.
1t would be a simple and silly thing to
misunderstood the present German vent
ure. Only wilfully blind men can misun-
derstand it. The testimony of the CORE
spondent of "The World" published two or
three days ago, sets forth clearly and
LUMINOSITY the state Of mind in Germany
The German Government will not long be
able to resist the pressure of politicians and
of the masses Of the people, who. perceiv-
ing the perils of the future in the war, IN
sist that no weapon that can be used shall
be neglected.
German purpose is never very difficult
to interpret, and the world has had suffi-
Gent examples of the working Of the Ger
man mind in recent years to grasp the
present purpose easily. We have had in
the visit of the submarines new example
Of German terribleness. The purpose OF
these boats was exactly the same as the
purpose Of German atrocities in Belgium
and Northern France. The Germans now,
as then, set out to terrify people, but this
time they did not have to resort to crime.
What the German Government believes
is that the United States people are cow
ardly, that they are "too proud to fight
What the German people believe is that
once the American public realizes that a
conflict with Germany will mean the loss Of
American ships and lives the American
people will clamor for the abandonment of
the policy which makes conflict inevitable.
Some time in the near future Mr.. Will
son will have to face this question which
he has avoided for so many months. Some
time before many weeks the American peo-
pie will have to decide whether they are
willing to fight to protect American citi-
zens on belligerent ships or abandon the
policy of defending them. When that day
comes the Germans have made it certain
that there will be no chance for the Ameri-
can people to believe that the conflict will
be bloodess or without cost.
Once more and in unmistakable fashion
the United States has been warned. God
knows the country has had warnings
enough in the pastl viii it neglect the
latest warning as it neglected the notorious
warning in advance of the Lusitania Mas
sacre? A desperate Germany, facing in
evitable defeat which is no longer TO be
hidden from the mass Of the German peo-
ple, is preparing TO resume the use Of the
submarine weapon in a fashion which the
United States Government has declared to-
be illegal and bound to lead to war. Before
doing this she has warned Mr., Wilson, the
United States Government, the American
people.
We shall have to decide before many
DAYS whether we as people are too proud
to fight. Thanks to the Germans, there
will be no misunderstanding Of the fact
that it will be, at least in some small way,
a fight. This is the whole meaning of the

next best thing" a member re- piled, intimating that the board will again seek to oust the SUD- erintendent. although the charg- es against him were dropped 10 days ago.
 The board did not demand that Dr. Bledsoe resign. it is said, and 1t is not known what the next step will be.
 Miss Callie McWilliams, former supervisor of female attendants, one of the five employees dis missed under the compromise. yesterday told why she was dis charged. Her version was wide ly different from the board S req sons, that she was cruel to the patients and gruff to officials.
 Miss McWilliams has letter written by J. c. Brannon, a brotherin-law of T. J. Raney, a member of the board, in which Brannon tod John Ball, former supervisor at the institution, that he intended to "get" all employees who contributed to his discharge, intimating that he  would accomplish this through MT. Raney, his brother-in-law. Brannon, for several months, was employed as assistant super visor, contrary to the section of the law prohibiting the employ ment of relatives by blood or marriage of board members of any of the state charitable insti- tutions. He was discharged by Dr. Bledsoe last March. Miss McWiliams says she discovered Brannon in a serious violation of the hospital rules.
 Before he was discharged he offered to cash some warrants for Miss McWilliams and her sister. Miss McWilliams said. The warrants were lost for sev- eral months and were not found until a few days before the re- cent row" developed. Two were not located then, Miss Me Williams sa d, but the money representing their face value was sent to her by a messenger without any explanation.
