Our Greatest Need.

To the Editor of The Tribune.
Sir: We hear much talk of national de-
fence, Of how large an army and navy We
need, of how many ships and guns and aero
planes we should have. Yes, it is true; we
must have these things if VIC arc 70 make
ourselves secure upon our borders. Yet we
have possessions to defend which We may
think too little OF, and enemies within our
borders We fail to guard against Our ships
and guns arc weapons 10 protect US from as
sault beyond our coasts. What Of the traitors
within the cowardicc in our own souls that
makes US finch from loss Of money or Of ease,
the bascness which puts honor in the balance
with safety TO our persons and our purses,
and lets the latter weigh down the scales?
What profit to US our wide lands, our heavy
gold. if our souls are small and mean? Those
peoples are happy, though they suffer. when
they suffer for the right, who are strong TO
war with the enemy without because the eta
del of the soul is secure against attack.

The Submarine Issue in the Reichstag.

A general airing of the submarine stu
alton appears TO be inevitable in view OF
the issue between Professor Valentin and
Grand Admiral Won Tirpitz, and some In
teresting facts may possibly be revealed
soon after the opening Of the Reichstag
sessions next week. At present it is diff
cult to determine exactly what has hap
pened. The Chancellor, the late Minister
of the Navy, the professor who made the
charges against him and the professor
who published them are manifestly at odds
and professors and ministers are freely
accusing one another of lying. That some
body has said the thing that is not there
can be no doubt, the only question being
how many have allowed their imaginations
to get the better of them, and to what ex-
tent they have decorated or departed from
demonstrable truth.
Besides the mutual accusations Of lying
which are not uncommon in German con-
troversies, there are dark hints at theft
Tirpitz, it is said, deceived the Reichsta9
III every way. llc llcu apOuS IiS i'N''S~-
of submarines available for his great
blockade and he lied about the results
after the blockade had been established
his false statements about the tonnage de-
stroyed misleading the whole country
about the possibilities of submarine war
fare and the prospect of starving the sin
full inhabitants of the British Isles. Not
only did he deceive the public, however,
but he hoodwinked the Foreign Office, too,
with his doctored figures, and the truth
would never have been revealed had not
the secret archives of the Admiralty been
robbed.
This discovery is attributed to Profess
sor Valentin, who, however, fatty denies
that he ever said anything about stealing.
His friend, Professor Grossman, invented
that part of the story or dreamt 1t, he
thinks. together with something he is sup
posed to have said about the Chancellor.
Dr.. Won Bethmann-H ollweg and Admiral
Won Tirpitz are now so deeply involved in
the quarrel that they can hardly free
themselves without some sort of public
discussion of the issue. It is likely then
that there may be some more or less
curious revelations in the Reichstag be-
fore long.

Rounding Up the Slackers.
from The Phuod,iphi1 Pr,ss)


Public opinion always a potent force in
Great Britain and always forcibly expressed
has compelled the War Office TO abandon
its spectacular "roundups" in search OF
Young men who have shirked their obligation
to enlist. These methods, while they lasted,
are reported 10 have attained some satisfac-
tory results, but nothing 10 justify the in
convenience they placed upon the public.
One roundup was held in a busy railway
station at early morning. Police stationed at
the gates herded together commuters and
travellers alighting from their trains and
asked them TO prove by what right they alb
stained from enlistment in the army. Those
who lacked the necessary certificate Of ex-
empton were taken 70 the police station and
there detained until relatives. summoned by
telephone, arrived with the necessary papers.
Finally all the prisoners obtained their r.
leases but one; and even ne proved in the
end his right TO a certificate OF exemption as
a conscientious objector" Another big
roundup was held at the Newmarket races
where the police failed TO apprehend single
Stacker. At large fair in the North of Eng
land they were more successful. for here they
found a lion tanner who ought TO be at the
front. He complained at the hearing that he
had been taken from the lions cage. showing
that while the British police may lack dis
erection they do not lack courage.
The War Office makes TWO explanations OF
its raids. One is that they were inaugurated
in response 10 numerous complaints that
young men of military age were permitted
to be at large and unmolested. while older
men were compelled to serve. The raids have
apparently disposed of this theory. The othc,
explanation is that the raids had 4 consider
able moral effect in frightening men who
had tried to evade military service to the
point where they voluntarily enlist. Fortu-
nately or not, howl Of public protest forced
the discontinusnce of these raids too soon 10
enable either purpose to be thoroughly car
RED out.

TOO EARLY A DATE
Parent Thinks School Opening Should Wait
Till All Danger Is Over.

To the Editor of The Tribune.
Sir: In your paper of this morning an
nouncement is made OF the intention OF the
League of Parents Of the 18th School Dis
trict to enjoin the Board of Education from
opening the public schools September %, un-
less the board at its meeting to-day decides
to take that step.
am glad that some representative oody
has the courage to take this action. IL is
but voicine the sentiments and fears OF par
ents in all sections of the city. 1t is mys-
terry to most persons why the Board OF lou
cation should have decided on that date ior
bringing together the children and teachers
Of New York City, where the epidemic mas
been most fierce and where the danger OF
spreading the disease is greatest. while all
the outlying districts -Yonkers, Jersey City
Newark and the OranSes-have named Octo'
Der . as the earliest date when they were
willing to risk the opening OF their schools
What does it mean? Is it an effort on the
part of the Board of Education to please the
taxpavers? Well. here is one instance where
the taxpayers think more OF their children
than of their pockets.
OF course. the parents are not compelled 70
run the risk OF sending their children to
school on that date. and ! have heard many
a parent say: "They may open their SCHOOLS
when they please, but my child shall not go
until I am satisfied it i. safe And evil
IDENTIFY, when the United States Public Health
Service and the state and city health depart
ments are advising parents 20 keep their chill
dren in the country where that is possible
and warning children in the city to refrain
from playing together or congregatng IN
large numbers that time has not come yet
But how about the teachers? They. at
least. must obey the summons if IT is issued
BY the Board OF Education. and is not the
risk Just as great for them as for the chill
dren? IAN ounce OF prevention is worth a
pound of cure" II is to be hoped the Board
of Education will decid> 20 postpone the
opening of the schools. II not. by all means
LET the League Of Parents carry out their in
tention. PARENT.

II is interesting to note that tradition IN

during the war with Turkey terminating IN
