Briqht ss the Fire

When Crewe Hall was burning the
late Lord Crewe, father OF the pres
ent earl, displayed a humorous
equanimity which st. James Bud
get deems worthy of preservation in
print.
When the historic mansion, with
It's works of art, rare manuscripts,
Rrrror and other treasures, was
blazing away Lord Crewe ordered a
footman to place a table on the
lawn and bring him an inkstand and
some telegraph forms. He then sat
down and composedly wrote this
telegram to Street, the Royal acad-
emician:
Dear Street-Crewe is burning.
Come and build it up again"
To his sister he sent another mes

No Streetcar Strike.
patient

The renewed threat of n streetcar strike
has again subsidized, thanks to the timely
Intervention Of Mayor Mitchell, and the
city can breathe again. The settlement APP
pears to the outsider the obvious common
sense of the situation, and the wonder must
be that grown men could come to an I'M
passe over such petty grabbing.
So far as can be told from the published
facts. the difficulties seem to have been
chiefly of Mr.. Hedley's making. The cpl
sode drives home once more to the people
of the city the fact that railroad manage
ment and labor management are different
duties, recurring different abilities. For
the sake of the city's peace Of mind and OF
the Mayors vacation we sincerely hope
that Mr.. Hedley or his superiors will con-
sent to learn something from this latest
needless quarrel.

The Death of Lieutenant Garvin.

To the Editor of The Tribune.
Sir: Readers of The Tribune who from
time to time have followed with heart and
mind the glorious writing of Mr.. ]. L. Garvin
Of "The Observer" may have read between
has befallen him. quote from "The British
Weekly" of August 3; $50 many dear and
sacred young heads have been laid low in
battle that only few can be specially COM
memorated. But the whole journalistic pro-
fession, of which FIR. ]. L. Garvin is the
brightest ornament, is lamenting with him
and his wife the death of their only sor
Lieutenant Gerard Garvin. The young officer
was killed in the battle of the Somme on the
night of July %, within twenty yards of the
German trenches, while he was walking down
the line to straighten it, under heavy she'll
and machine-gun fire. So closes, at the age of
twenty, life of the highest promise, and.
indeed, Of no small performance. Young Gar
win was man Of shining gifts and of great
attainments, and his character was even more
notable in its quiet ascendancy than his tall
ents.
"The relations between him and his father
and mother were always beautiful. They con-
stantly realized his peril, and died a thou
sand deaths in advance, but they showed
nothing to him, nor could he to them. though
each perfectly understood and speech was
needless. Yet when the blow came it seemed
as If it had never been prepared for at all.
Gerard Garvin loved all gracious things in lit
erature, music and art, and he had full free
dom always. Though he would very willingly
have lived for the high things, and, above all.
to spare his parents the pain of his early
going, they have no doubt that he had risen
serene over all that tends to shake a man,
and that his last hour was both his most
competent and his happiest"

A WORD FOR MR.. CALDER
Mr.. Quigg Sees Special Qualifications

To the Editor Of The Tribune.
Sir: want to spenk up for Mr.. Calder
Not that he needs it for primary effect IL
INV future event can be called certain IL -
Mr.. Calder's nomination. But the suooen
candidacy Of Mr. Bacon, prcdicated upon the
"special qualifications" that are being re-
cited in his favor, together with the repeated
reference to Mr.. Calder as the "hand-shaking
candidate" is not helped in situation
where Mr.. Calder is certain to be our cahu'-

and where, against the carrying power Oh
Mr.. Wilson. we are going TO need all the
votes we can get for all candidates, not ex-
cepting Mr.. Hughes.

attic islands from Austria and by establish
ing herself in Albania command both sides
Of the Adriatic at the Straits Of Otranto
and dominate this sea.
Russia is resolved TO take the Darda-
nelles and the Bosporus and thus break the
bridge between Germany and the Asiatic
territories Of the Turk, SEINE of which may
be left to him. Britain and France, be-
cause of their own colonies, are bound to
consent TO this change. Allied military and
commercial strategy alike aims at building
a wall against Austro-German expansion
at the Danube. closing Austrian outlet to
the open sea at Valona as German outlet
is closed at the Straits of Dover
1t is essential to remember, now, that
Germany has realized temporarily at least,
her dream of expansion to the Near East.
Her progress is fully revealed by her
achievement. And this makes it absolutely
clear what the Allies in their turn must do.
More important than any present oper-
atoms in the East or the West is the CAM
paign to close the Balkans to Germany, for
it is, in effect, closing the door of the future
to Germany, the only door left open now
that German colonies have been seized and
the bases of German commerce abroad de-
stroyed.
Germans no longer expect to hold Bel
GUM or any portion of France, but they
do hope and expect to hold the gateway to
the Near East Here alone is there pos
sibility of profit at all commensurate with
the sacrifices they have made. The Allies
on their part are resolved that there shall
be no profit This resolve gives meaning
to the Italian participation in the Balkan
campaign, and it explains why this Balkan
campaign is, from the point of view of
future consequences, the most interesting
that is now going forward.

Bumps in the Drive.

To the Editor Of The Tribune.
Sir: As a resident of the section Of the
city to which refer, ! appeal through your
columns for good roads
The condition of the roads on Riverside
Drive from 135th TO 157th Street is deplor-
able. Numerous requests have been sent TO
the city with reference 10 the roads on that
portion of the Drive, but apparently no good
has been derived from it.
Il is said that Riverside Drive is one of the
most beautiful thoroughfares in our city.
Therefore why not continue TO have it con
sidered so by lettering the condition of the
rC ads?
In other sections of the Drive the roads are
in as good condition as can be expected, so
why not raise the entire state Of this thor
oughfare TO the acme Of perfection?
A certain automobile salesman sold car
to gentleman and said, 81 can guarantee this
car TO so over any road with ease except
Riverside Drive from l35th to l57th Street"
Doesn't this speak for itself?

Who Owns the Railroads?

There is to be detected in certain quar-
ters in Washington an attitude toward the
railroad managers and the railroad presi-
dents that can only be explained on the
theory that here stand a few score OF
selfish men hugging their personal welfare
to their bosoms to the damnation of the
great American people. Well, what are
the real numbers of benefciaries repre-
sented on both sides?
The number of trainmen is put at 4OO,-
600. Against these are rightly to be set
not only few hundred officers, but 623, 600
stockholders, about as many bondholders,
and, for good measure, the countless de-
positors in the savings banks of the ma
ton, with an item running over 81 900 ,OOO,-
600 invested in railroad securities. With
all allowance for Implications in the stock
and bond lists, there are vastly more of
the great American people, the actual own
ers of the American railroads, represented
by the railroad managers and presidents
than by the labor leaders.
Now, the stockholders and bondholders
are not entitled to any undue leniency by
reason of their numbers. But neither are
the trainmen on the convenient theory that
they outnumber the presidents. What is
to be sought is justice-justice for the
100000 trainmen and justice for the mill
ion and more owners Of the railroads, as
well as for the whole American people.

gust s, now before me. Your words are as

A Useful Submarine Exploit.

A survivor of the first great submarine
success-the sinking of the three Cressys-
smoke thus of Weddigen's brilliant feat
at was fine piece of work, gallant piece
of work. They came up right under our
guns and risked their lives to take ours. !
take off my hat to the men who did 1t
but want to meet them again" mat is
all that could be said of the encounter that
resulted in the loss of two fine light CRUZ
sers on Saturday, though on this occasion
one at least of the submarines was de-
stroyed on the spot, and another, according
TO the British Admiralty's report, "ramnred
and possibly sunk"
It may be recalled that when the
Aboukir was torpedoed her two consorts
went instantly to her assistance, stopped
and lowered their boats, thus offering
themselves as easy targets to the enemy.
That similar error of judgment was com
mitted in the case of the Falmouth and
the Nottingham is very unlikely. Com
manders have learned to be wary of sub
marines, and the work of rescue in such
circumstances is usually left to the smaller
craft. Evidently the vessels were drawn
in among the submarines while seeking out
the High Sea Fleet, which had been re-
ported at sea, and the Germans were more
successful than in former attempts of this
kind.
Though the British navy has still great
r ~ thic placc nf
sells, the feat was a notable and important
one. Hitherto the submarine has not been
nearly so successful in such exploits as the
Germans hoped. The early success Of
Weddgen-it is nearly two years now
since he became a national hero-caused
extravagant expectations. 1t was supposed
that it would be possible to repeat the
trick frequently, and that steadily and
surely the British fleet would be whitfield
away, to use the phrase beloved of our
German-American editors in the early
months Of the war. These hopes have been
disappointed, and exploits like that of Sat
urday are in fact rare.
They are encouraging to the Germans
when they succeed because 1t IS obvious
that when the game can be played it is
most profitable to them. The British Ad-
miralty's statement notes that as soon as
the enemy learned that the British forces
were considerable the High Sea Fleet
"avoided an engagement and returned into
port" Manifestly this was the most pru-
dent course to pursue. A decisive battle
might result in the virtual humiliation of
the German fleet, and there is no reason to
believe that the Germans have ever sought
decision on grand scale: the risk for
them is too great.
