German Questions Answered

To the Editor of The Tribune.
Sir: Referring TO W. T. 0sborns letter
in to-day's Tribune, the reason that France
had a line of four mighty fortresses from
the Swiss border to the Belgian border and
nothing beyond that to the English Chsnnsf
is easy to find. She could not imagine 10
possible that she would be invaded through
Belgium, any more than through Luxembourg
or Switzerland.
That France was not much better pre-
pared in 1914 than in 1870 is proof that she
had no intention OF invading Germany across
any border Humbert's revelations shorty
before the German breach Of faith showed
France to be in a most precsrious eondn'o'
German spies confirmed this.
The autonomy" just granted TO Poland

ment of the Poles in German Poland, II u

Life on Forty Cents a Day

What comfort is public harassed by
the present exorbitant price of food going
to get out of the experiments of DR.. Rob
ertson and his Chicago "diet squad?
From a theoretical standpoint it may be
interesting to know that bodily efficiency
may be maintained upon minimum OF
forty cents worth Of food day. But as
solution of the problem of the cost of
living it is hardly one which the public will
accept. 1t has long been known that mere
existence-if that is all one desires-may
be sustained upon a surprisingly small
amount of nourishment. 1t is said that
DR.. Newton Bateman existed during four
years of college upon daily ration OF
potatoes and cornmeal mush for which he
paid eleven cents. But few fathers would to-
day insist that their sons repeat his expe-
rience. There are doubtless many families
in New York in which it is not possible to
spend daily as much as forty cents head
for food But the existence of such fam
lies can hardly be called enviable.
The experiment is too suggestive of
German efficiency TO find many advocates
in America Doubtless Dr. Robertson will
succeed in demonstrating that the human
body would still be a good working ma
chine if it were run upon an allowance of
fuel much less than most of US are accus-
toned TO. Many Of US will doubtless be
convicted Of extravaganza, but who will be
moved TO adopt this minimum diet of eff
cheney? We are not machines; we are
creatures of instinct, habit and desire. We
do not eat with the deliberate purpose of
sustaining strength. We eat also because
We like to eat, because we have healthy
appetites and things taste good; we eat
because We are able TO get food and be-
cause it is dinner time, and dinner is an
interesting event in the days life. What
an uninteresting place this world would
be if scientific efficiency" should succeed
In eliminating all our extravagances and
follies and in reducing existence to a per
fectly rational order, monotonous round
Of eating just enough 10 gain the strength

The Loss of the Britannia

If the Britannia was torpedoed it is evi-
dent that she was the victim of a deilo-
crate and premeditated attack. Travellers
who have seen her since her conversion
insist that she was always clearly defined
as a hospital ship" but such assurances
are really superfuous since in any case
she could hardly have been mistaken by a
submarine commander for any other ship
ahoat. It is idle, therefore, TO consider
the question of Identification which IN the
case Of another vessel might possibly be
debatable. There was only one Britannia.
Submarines have been active from time
10 time in the Egean for year and a
half, and it is quite conceivable that one
of them sank the Britannic-quite con-
ceivable because we know the Germans
have contrived to make little mistakes OF
this kind before. 1t is not certain, how
ever. that she did not strike mine, and
perhaps the cause of her destruction Will
never be certainly established. Apparent
lv no definite information on this point has
been received by the British Admiralty.
IT is alleged that the news of her fate
has excited much comment among snip
builders" because she was supposed to be
las unsuitable as possible" But no ship
builder really believes in unsuitable pas
senger ships. The Britannia was building
at the time of the Titanic disaster, and
it is true that she was modified consider
ably in the light Of that accident. 1t was
never imagined, however, that she could
survive a well-directed torpedo attack, and
if ship builders have any comment TO make
it is safe to say that they will not express
surprise at her relative fragility.
The Lusitania had double bottom and
175 watertight compartments, but she
sank in less than half an hour and the
Germans alone expected" that she would
stay ahoat for long while. Whether the
latest dreadnought battleships can be sunk
by single torpedo is still doubtful, but
that the greatest of passenger ships has
proved an easy prey to such an attack will
surprise no one.

WOES OF THE SUBWAY
Grievances of a Woman Critic Who Has
Travelled Much
To the Editor of The Tribune.

To the Editor Of The Tribune.
Sir: If any one still doubts that might
makes right, even in this enlightened day, let
him try to get seat on the subway any
morning or evening of the week. The con-
gested conditions at any of the stations along
the way are appalling and something ought
to be done to correct them as they now exist.
In the first place, those of US who are fort
innate or unfortunate enough to live, say, near
the 10th Street station never Rave a decent
chance to get on a car from 1880 o'clock on in
the morning until past the time when business
people go to work. 1t does seem to me that
some cars ought to start at different points
along the line, and not way out for by the
time other stations are reached the cars are
so jammed it is hopeless to try to wedge your
way in. Over and over again, we have to let
car after car pass by because there is not
room. | ask, Is it just to those of US who
pay the same fare day after day to never
get train when it comes? Sometimes / have
had to stand for as much as Twenty-Five
minutes before it was possible to get a foot
hold in the outer part do not even plead
for chance to sit down, just for the posi-
bility to get inside When the doors do omen
those inside glare at one for having the au-
dacity TO force way in; and well they might
| never saw cattle crowded in such herds as
are the people who ride in the subway. The
way we are packed in, the sitting air-and
for more than week not even the fans have
been going to relieve the situation makes
me feel that | haven't shred of decency or
self-respect left when I arrive downtown or
uptown, as the case may be.
Has the suffrage question any bearing on
the present attitude of men, or are New York
men lacking in that courtesy so Characteristic
of American men everywhere else in the cour-
try? One does not expect them to offer their
seats, yet it often happens that when people
get off and you are about to sit down some
great, husky man deliberately pushes YOU
aside while he plants himself down in the va
cant seat. This occurs several times a week
Twice recently even big, burly negroes have
showed me aside and taken the seat when
was about to occupy it. New York men NAV
have certain air of cock-sureness, but as
to manners they are sadly lacking. I have
travelled far and near in many lands. but
have never had my formerly high regard and
esteem in which have held men so hurt as
here in New York in what consider lust or
binary politeness. The way we are jostled.
showed and rammed into each other, our shoes
tramped on and scraped till they look worn
out in weeks time, and the buttons literal

cient cause for just complaint and the regis

The Indian words are a translation Of the
text given in English.
The visitor happened to be from Pennsyl-
vania and made further Investigations. Al
the residence of the missionary priest he
found an almost full length oil portrait Of
Senator Quay in full Indian regalia and re-
ceved information that when the mission
church burned down Senator Quay had sent
a check for 81 900 toward its rebuilding. He
insisted that this be kept secret but main
tanned correspondence with the mission
aries until his death.
II is the firm belief Of the Abenah Indians
that Quay was descended from Of their
tribes, although the missionaries make no
such claim. It is we'll known that the Sena
tor was always a friend of the Indians and
during his public life did much for their
benefit even on his deathbed urging legis-
lation on their behalf. The word Quay is
an Abenaki word, and the Senator himself
believed that he had Indian blood in his
veins.V
It may be said OF Senator Quay that he
had some characteristics of the Indian. He
was silent when action was desired He
was a hard fighter and good friend. but
not a bitter hater. First and last Senator
Quay made friends with all his political
enemies and died lsmented by them all.
