EngIand's Sins.
r Of The Tribune.

To the Editor Of The Tribune.
Sir: The editor Of "The London Morning
Post" is pleased to quote excerpts from an
article which appeared in The New York
Tribune Both articles arc filed with the
passions and intense hstrcds always cngen-
dered by war.
Every Briton who condemns and accuses
others should At least come into court with
clean hands" Many shameful pages have
been written into the history OF this world
war by English deeds and hands. Did Britain
recognize the rules of humanity" and fight
clean" when she shot thirteen helpless men
struggling for life in the waters of the North
Sea? The "Baralong case" was wanton muir
der and butchery. 1t stains England forever.
Did Britain fight clean" In Ireland when
Editor Skcfington was shot without hearing
or trial? Why Was the rebel Connolly shot
when MORALLY wounded? Is this sample OF
British clean fighting? Is this the Wanted
English spirit OF humanity?
Does Britain honor the Law o. nations when
brutally throttling the nights of American
trade with neutral countries, Has she not
violated our mails and Is engaged in stealing
our commerce at the present time? Have not
her ships entered our own waters on unaw-
full missions and searched American vessels
bound from one American port TO another?
Has not Britain answered our protests with
contempt and ignored us by evasion and de-
NAL Of our just and reasonable complaints
Has not Britain posed as the protector Of
the little nations? Why has she throttled
the commerce OF Norway, Sweden, Denmark
and Holland? Is this not in violation OF "the
rules of the game? Is her arrogant and
brutal treatment Of Greece and Ireland a
guarantee of her love for little nations? Is
she not tn. dreaded bully, rather than the
protector of the small peoples? What was
Britain's motive for the crushing OF Boer
self-government and liberty?
Germany is saint; her warfare is no
paror game. But when John Bull becomes
accuser every fair minded American knows
it is case Of "the pot calling the kettle
black" We can't be fooled all the time.

Traian's Wall.

(Rron The Boston HrfcicI
The great war thrusts its Tongues Of famc
into scenes that mark the beginnings OF
human history and tn. foundations Of re-
ligions and empires. In this moving picture
our attention has been called 10 the tradi-
tional site of the Garden of Eden, 10 rivers
that are supposed to have watered the earthly
paradise, to Mount Ararst, Mount Sinai and
Mount Lebanon, to relics Of the Assyran,
Babylonian, Egyptian, Parthian and Roman
empires, and TO places that arc closely con-
nected with the rise of Judaism, Zorosstrisn-
ism, Christianity and Mshometsnism. II
is little world, and war can but tread on
ancient ground. Not long ago We were re
minded by the lighting at Ctesiphon, on the
Tigris, that there the Psrthisns defeated
JAMS Wall IN the Dobrudja as a battle line,
with the Russians and Rumsnians on the
north and the Germans and Bugarans on
the south.
II was in the year 1ol that Trsjan led his
legions forth from Rome TO conquer the Da-
clans, whose country comprised the provinces
Of Modavs, WsllSchia and Pennsylvania,
which the RumanisSs are now endeavorng
70 reunite under one sovereign. Dscia's
warrior king, Decebalus, defended his land so
we'll that Trajan had to start q second cam
paign four years later before Dacia would
acknowledge Roman rule. The wall that
bears the Emperor's name is an earthwork
extending from the Danube above Czernavoda
to Constsnzs on the Black Sea. It is no
great rampant, being just an earthen ridge
from eight to fifteen feet high but the Turks
defended il against the Russians in 1854, and
il may be useful in the present Dobrudjs
fight. Other traces of Trajsn are still TO be
found in the military road he constructed
along the banks OF the Danube, including a
commemorative tablet and the piers of a
bridge he built across the river near 0rsova
the important point from which the Ru-
manians have driven the Austrians back into
their Banat province. And there the war
now bridges more than 1900 years.
