 "Whatever an Englishman may say for or against American women, at heart he prefers them to the women of his own country, for the same req son that mankind his deified Helen of Troy, because the American woman is an expert in the art of flirting.

In speaking of the modern fictional wo- man, the author says:
 We have in fiction today the woman depicted as more brilliant being than the mother we remember from our child hood. Feminine selfishness is repre- sented as an enviable instead of a base quality Most of these types are drawn by men. And while the better part of feminine readers ought to resent them they cannot help but have poisonous effect on the mind of young girls, who, after reading Bernard Shaw, believe that there is something dashing in getting rid

Lusitania Already Forgotten.

10 the Editor Of The Tribune.
Sir: IN your leading editorial to-day you
say that the President may be trying 70
Cure the people into forgetting the Lusi-
tania dead" To my mind this would be en-
tirely unnecessary. Those dead are long
since forgotten by the mass Of the people
especially those away from the coast Where
they arr remembered it is as victims Of their
own stupidity, sailing on the vessel Of a
belligerent when passage on neutral snip
was obtauabe and unpatriotically rlsking
the dragging Of their country into war for
The sake of avcnging their injury
Ask the average citizen whether he would
be willing TO enlist in a war TO avenge the
sinking Of the Lusitania, and he will prob
ably ask you what the United States is-sn
international police force? No. The Lusi-
tania is being gradually forgotten, and the
President is truly representative when ne re-
fuses 10 involve as in war over an issue for
which the great mass Of Us care nothing
II the Americans los. had been muleteeTs,
would the protest have gone even a. far as It
did? The memory Of a munitions newspaper
is singularly long on these matters.

Anti-Cerman Obstinacy.

il Is "a cause of great grief % many
learned men in Germany chat their col
leagues abroad are so unreasonable. Some
examples of this unreasouableness are
dwelt upon with sorrow in "a recent mcdi-
cal monthly by Professor August Martin,
who confesses that when the war began
he was foolish enough 70 hope tha, at least
among scientific men friendly relations
might be maintained. He was mistaken.
Even his old colleague, Professor c.
Jacobs, Of Brussels, had turned against
Deutschthum and written at length about
atrocities in Belgium and thus contributed
70 the "mcomprchcnsible agitation against
Kultur"
What apparently puzzles Professor Mar
tin is how a Belgian who knows the de-
lightful character Of his German ncighbors
can possibly believe them capable Of such
villanies as he thinks he witnessed. The
same Belgian met many Germans a. vari-
GUS international congresses ard made
many friends. How, then can he accuse
such charming people Of doing wrong?
That is what Professor Martin cannot
comprehend. and it is no answer to say
that Professor Jacobs was a medical officer
i'm the Belgian army and wrote only Of
what ne himself saw. Professor Martin Is
willing to accept the official German de-
mails; why. then, should the Belgian pro-
fossor continue to believe things he saw

A Sweeping Victory.

New confirmation Of an old proverb is

still. she has added through her valor and
efficiency TO the romance and dignity OF
homework, and for every euuobling Of
the chores Of life the race owes an extra
portion Of gratitude The simple story
runs about as follows:
Mrs. Cuuono, whose husband is dc
scribed as a well-to-do real estate owner,
was nevertheless herself engaged in the
preparation Of their evening meal. a
noise outside the door of their Bronx
apartment attracted her attention and she
peered into the hallway, to find that three
robbers were attacking and badly maulmg
her husband. She -natched mp her new
broom. with It's stiff straws, and, using
both ends unfortunately she brushed
and jabbed and pokej and beiabored his

4 Guards Complaint.
ditor Of The Tribune.

To the Editor Of The Tribune.
Sir: With regard to the recent increase in
pay for lrterborough employees, il would be
very interesting to know why tho company
advanced every man in the service 10 cents
day except the guards who. having served
the company faith fully for period of from
five to fifteen years, receive only cents a
day while new men just entering the service
get 10 cents increase.
This caused great dissatisfaction among the
older service men. It might also be interest
ing 20 know why a guard Of five or more
years service with the Brooklyn Rapid
Transit Company is worth 25 cents a day
more than a guard Of the same service with
the /. r. T. The highest the !. K. 7. pays IS
23h cents an hour, and the B. x. T. pay IS
26 cents an hour.
This question il left open for US to guess,
and we must assume that 1t Is all needed %

gets his ribs showed through his backbone.

DISHONORING GREELEY
\ Protest Against Removal OF His
Statue ~ Battery Park.

To the Editor Of The Tribune.
Sir: I read with warm sympathy the elo-
quent and touching appeal Of Mrs. Gabrielle
Greeley Clcnde1in against the proposed re-
movsl Of her fethcr's statue from In front OF
the Tribune Building 70 Battery Park, and
agree with her that such removal would not
only dishonor the memory Of great man but
would be a public misfortune.
The statue OF Horace Greeley should re-
main in or IN the near vicinity Of Printing
House Square. II H. IA IN the way Of traffic
in IT'S present position ~ could be moved
across the way into City Hall Square, in the
neighborhood % Frarkin's statue As the
memorial OF a great and representative Amer
lean, 10 say nothing Of its value as work
Of art. IL deserves the best place New York
City can give it. To take it out Of its pres
ent appropriate environment ard relegnte II
20 an obscure and unfrequented park seems
like vandalism.
Who has n better claim on the afrectionate
remembrance Of his fellow countrymen than
Horace Greeley? His daughter modestly dis
claims for him a place in the Hall Of Fame;
but. according TO any true criterion OF great
ness. who is more worthy Of being enshrned
in the American pantheon? IN intellectual
power, in nobility and generosity Of soul, in
the unselfsh conservation Of all his enereie s
TO the service of his fellow men, in the mighty
influence which he welded IN his day in
moulding the opinions and shaping the lives
Of his countrymen. what American can claim
precedence over Horace Greeley?
In my boyhood Horace Greeley was revcred
as one of the greatest and best of men. !

when his memory was dshonored and his
services were forgotten. y

Honor Systems Fail.

To the Editor Of The Tribune.
Sir: In answer 70 the letter OF inquiry
about the honor system in colleges, beg 70
state my disagreement with the popular idea
that it is a success. I am a graduate Of a
small college for men In Eastern Pennsyl-
yania, where the honor system was tried and
discarded. As editor in chief Of the college
weekly and secretary of the student council
was able 20 note the workings OF the sys-
TEN in our own and other colleges.
Our experience was that the studious ones
were not benefited By IT, and the ignorant
took advantage of the opportunity for un-
fair work Informing about "cribbinC' was
unfashionable and unsportsmsnliAc. The
honor system was revoked at the request Of
the better element OF students after several
years trial.
In some colleges such as Lehghl various
classes or groups in a department take eX-
aminatons under the honor system. Each
class determines its attitude on the matter
separately. OF the success Of this method
am uniformed.
