Preparedness Against War.

To the Editor Of The Tribune.
Sir: Time and again when the European
var has come up for discussion some one
rises to remark: "Its n good thing Teddy
Roosevelt isn't President or we would be
mixed up in it, too"
This is all rot Having beer through 1t
himself think Colonel Roosevelt has seen
enough Of the horrors of war not to plunge
this country noedlessly into a conflict such
rs '7 now raging in Europe.
America lost honor and prestige through
President Wilson's laundering policies in
Mexico. until all Europe despises us ana
considers US a nation of buffers. That Is
why Germany has been getting away with
it in the matter of the Lusitania, the Arabic
and other outrages upon the high seas. Does
any one suppose for one instant that Mexico
or any other country would slaughter our
citizens and offer insults to our flag were
Theodore Roosevelt in the Presidential
chair? Or does any one suppose that Ger
many or any other country would dare TO
bluff US and eyade the issue Of an Outrage
like the sinking of the Lusitania were this
country in position to fight for her rights ?
| am lover of peace as we'll as any man.
but do believe in prepa redness against war.
With the right man in the Presidential
chair this country would be in a position
where she would not have to accept insults
to her flag and her people where she would
not be the joke Of the universe and where
she would be in position to stop all such
Infamous deeds as the invasion of Belgium,
the sinking of the Lusitanis and the useless
bombardng Of defenceless cities where only
helpless women and children are killed.

Commissioner Woods's new merit system
in which a card index plays prominent

has travelled from those old and crude
days.
On the cards Of the index in this system
will be tabulated the merit marks and de
merit marks earned by each member of the
uniformed force and the detective bureau.
If a patrolman is caught smoking or
reading while on duty, if he is impolite TO
citizens or slovenly in dress, if he violates
the police regulations, if he sits in a public
conveyance while others are standing,
various degrees of demerit will be charged
to him. But if he wins an honorable

The old-time policeman used to be rec

through the motions Of performing his
work. At present the force, by and large.
is made up of competent and Woodworking

A State Police Needed.

There should be no delay in introducing
and adopting the bill to establish state
police, which has been discussed by the
Governor and legislative leaders. That is
a commendable project for any time. In
this year, with a fair prospect that The
state troops may have to go to the MexI-
can border for service, it becomes practl-
cally imperative. With the militia out Of
the state, there would be no organized
body on which the authorities could call
to quell internal disturbances. And in
ordinary years the existence of state
police force to handle strikes, riots and
tndred matters Of police duty would be OF
lnestimable value in making possible en-
Estment in the national guard of men who
decline to serve so long as that body Is
liable to call for duty distinctly not of a
military character.
The experience Of Pennsylvania, which
for several years has maintained a we'll
drilled and efficient constabulary, gives
abundant proof of the merit Of this sys-
tenn solely in police duties. That body has
patrolled huge areas of rural territory
which otherwise would have been without
systematic police protection. 1t has un-
doubtedly tended TO restrict the operations
Of professional criminals. 1t has made
possible arrest and conviction of criminals
as local municipal police forces and
sheriffs with their limited jurisdiction and
small appropriations cannot be expected
to do
There has never appeared good reason
for believing the charges sometimes made
that the constabulary takes sides in poll
tics or is an instrument of the capitalist
class in labor disputes, so no danger OF
that need be apprehended in this state
New York needs. in its vast rural terri
tory. such protection as this force has
given in Pennsylvania. In few years
state police would more than pay for the
cost of its Equipment and maintenance II
the security Of life and property, the ade-
ouate enforcement Of the law and the saw
ING of fees for sheriffs' posses, appropria'
tons for militia for riot duty and the Ike
which its existence would assure.
There has been little constructive WORK
CO far in the Whitman record. 1t would
bo we'll for the state to have this measure
become law.

Big Enough for Action.

Senator Brown, majority leader OF the
upper branch OF the Legislature, is quoted
as saving there will be no investigation OF
the attempt Of his felow-Republican, Sen
ator Lawson, TO get telephone extension

with-only Sc year.
The cold facts Of this case do not ap-
peal to a scandalized public as small, how
ever. even If the amount Of money IN
yolved was less than the Senate deems
worthy OF notice. In his attempt TO OBJ
tain for nothing something the telephone
company has a regular and fixed charge
for when plain citizens dssire it, Senator
Lawson sought to cause that corporation

New England Cadets.

(FToW The Boston herald
Doubtless there are two sides to the story
Of the failures in the recent examinations at
the Annapolis Naval Academy. but it is graft
fyng to learn from the reports that no New
England cadet was involved in the occurrences
which led ID TO the board Of inquiry last
summer, and especially to note that ten Of
twenty-four men among all the nine hundred
cadets who are privileged to wear n star come
from three New England states-two from
Maine, ono from Vermont and seven from
Massachusetts.
OF the nine star men in the graduating
class this year four are Massachusetts cadets;
Of the eight in the next class one is from this
state, as are two Of the seven in the following
class. That means that 40 per cent Of the
star men arc produced in this region, while
the star men number fewer than 3 per cent
Of the whole student body. Various other
honors have come TO the representatives Of
these states, some Of them earned by cadets
and others bestowed By their fellows in token
Of their worth.

PRINCETON AND PREPAREDNESS
The University Not Likely to Phi
losophize While Rome Burns.

To the Editor Of The Tribune.
Sir: In your editorial this morning en-
titled princeton and Preparedness you
state in the opening paragraph: princeton
alone of the Big Four declines 10
permit the organization among her students
Of a volunteer training corps VIII you
permit me to suggest that this statement Is
rot only inaccurate, but may readily create
wholly false impression?
In the first place, there has been no such
refusal The impression may possibly have
sprung from the fact that the course In
military instruction now being given does
not provide for military drill. That it does
not include drill is the result of the advice
Of Major General Leonard Wood and other
competent army authorities best quallhed 10
Judge, who were consulted when the course
was first planned. II was the consensus OF
opinion that the matter Of drill could best
be handled in the summer camps under COM
pentent instruction and more suitable condi-
tons.
The course "a now given represents the
advice and best judgment Of the various
army officers consulted. The course of lect-
ures is being given by the best army Off
Gals obtainable. the opening lecture having
been delivered by Major General Wood. Re-
Gently also Captain Gordon Johnson. adju-
tant Of the Plattsburg encsmpment, has spent
some time in Princeton, comforting with the
students and giving information regarding
the summer camps.
Entirely apart however from the adyisa-
bility of military drill in colleges, upon
which question there may be room for diff
fcrenccs of opinion, the unfortunate feature
of your editorial is that it so clearly invites
the inference that Princeton is the opponent
Of preparedness On the contrary, the uni
versity was among the frst-if not the first
of the colleges to take active measures in
this regard. and more than year ago ar
ranged a course Of lectures similar TO that
now being given.
The lecture delivered at that time by
Major General Wood was published, with
Others. in book form by the Princeton Uni
versity Press under the title Of MILITARY
Obligation Of Citizenship" and has been
widely in demand. Moreover, as IS well
known President Hibben, who as long ago
as 1913 was president of the advisory com
mittee Of college presidents on summer camps
was one of the earliest and stanchest advo-
Gates of preparedness at time when the
subject was not as popular as 1t is now
Within the past month he has completed a
trip from coast to coast. in which he lost no
opportunity TO speak in its favor.
As for the alumni, at the Pattsburg en-
campment last August Princeton had the
largest representation Of any college in at
tendance in proportion TO the number OF liv
ing alumni and numerically was exceeded
only by Harvard. Under the circum-
stances, we ask your indulgence If we insist
that. 20 far as Princeton is concerned. there
has been no resistance Of the appeal OF the
drill sergeant" nor is she likely to phi
losophize while Rome burns"

Tirpitz's Failure.

There is no evident justification for the
conclusions commonly drawn from the an
nouncement of Grand-Admlral Won Tir-
pitz's retirement. Il is reasonable enough
to suppose that he was forced to resign,
and it is very likely that the event was
brought about by some difference Of opin-
ion on naval policy. But why should it be
assumed that he was driven out by men
Of milder manners or that the new Minis
ter Of Marine is about to modify the old
policy Of frightfulness?
This, it is true, is a possible explana-
ton, but there are other possibilities. We
have heard a great deal lately about signs
of naval activity in Germany, and while
most of the stories are obviously fanciful
some appear to be well founded. Is it not
easily conceivable, presumlng there has
been quarrel between Tirpitz and other
men in high places, that it was brought
about by matters that had little or moth
ing TO do with submarine warfare?
People have fallen into the habit of
thinking Of submarine warfare as the only
kind of naval warfare possible for the
Germans. 1t would be very rash. however
TO conclude that they have no intention of
ever trying anything else, and if they
have the Grand-Admirals resignation
might easily have been caused by dissen-
sions on other points Of policy. There have
been several changes lately among the
high naval commands IN Germany, and
what these changes signify cannot be de
termined with certainty. 1t is true that
none Of them is 50 important as the last.
II is true. 700, that there is good reason to
associate Tirpitz with extreme ruthless
ness, but the point 10 be borne in mind is
New-York tribune. [volume] (New York [N.Y.]) 1866-1924, 1916-03-18

that he is much more than the originator
of the war on merchantmen, and that 1t l.
accordingly impossible to say whether his
retirement has anything TO do with that
or not.
The recent memorandum threatening all
armed merchant ships with destruction
was apparently approved by DR.. Won Beth
mann Hollweg 1t has been rumored that
he did not entirely approve of it, and that
both he and his master, the Kaiser, were
in favor of certain notifications TO which
Tirpitz would by no means consent. This
may or may not be true, but it is the only
foundation for the belief that concessions
are about to be made by way Of conciliat-
ing the United States and other neutral
nations. What we do know is that the
memorandum was approved by several OF
the chambers of commerce in Germany
and apparently by most Of the German
people.
There is another circumstance TO be con-
sidered. Submarine warfare has been tried
for more than year. II has been carried
On with absolute ruthlessness. To talk Of
the latest threat as indicating new pol
lev is absurd, for as the Secretary of the
British Admiralty has shown, forty Brit
ish vessels-unarmed, every one of them
were sunk without warning last year. But
in spite of this ruthlessness submarine
warfare has been failure. II has done a
great deal of damage, 1t has caused great
deal of suffering, but it has not seriously
injured the enemy. Not only have the
Germans failed TO reduce the Grand Fleet,
as they at first hoped to do, but they have
not seriously affected the economic life of
the people of Great Britain by the So
called military area about the British Isles
When Tirptz first outlined his project
he evidently hoped TO starve England. This
hope was shared by all good Germans, and
so moderate and sober a writer as Captain
Persus confidently expressed the belief
that the plan of our Minister Of Marine
would bring Us considerably nearer to Civ
ing England the death blow" The hoped
for consummation is as far off to-day as It
was when the blockade was first declared.
It is evident that there is no prospect of
starving England in this way. In word,
Tirpitz's policy has failed and confidence
in his wisdom has doubtless been shaken.
II may very well be doubted whether his
policy could succeed, even supposing Ger
many has the great feet Of new submarines
we have heard so much about If nothing
much Is accomplished in this way in future
il will not be because after a years re-
Election the Germans have suddenly de-
eided to be humane and to be rid Of their
pet ogre. 1t will simply be because they
we're not able 20 fulfil their threats.
