Only Woman to Visit Yer

How Mrs. ". X. Vanderbilt risked

burst over her head, and how she en-

are told in Mrs. Vanderbilts own words
in the January number Of "Harper'S

has ever been permitted to enter the
advance field hospitals, where not even
Red Cross nurses arc allowed.
The beginning Of Mrs. Vanderbilts
experience at the front was 80 quiet
and uneventful that She was surprised.
She had reached road within liOo
wards Of the German trenches before
she cav wounded man or heard @ gun
fired. she had just complained Of the
dulness Of the trip to A. Piatt Andrew
inspector general Of the American An
bulance Corps, who accompanied her.
when battery Of 75s. concealed in a
wood at The edge OF The road opened
fire and a German shell whistled over
her head and landed near.

THAT was enough for me-" Mrs. Van
6erbilt writes. 81 have never ielt any
further desire 20 be under ire.
That night Mrs. Vanderbilt went TO
he'd at Pont-a-Mousson, confident she
would not be disturbed until morning
Shortly after midnight, however, she
was awakened by Tremendous detona-
ton. and "felt as if the house was COM
inc down" on her head.
Explosion followed explosion with
great rapidity." says Mrs. Vanderbilt IN
describing her experience. "As the
whistle Of ore shell died away the
shriU shrek Of another was audible.
I knew at LAST thst was in for real
bombardment. I instinctively made my
self as small as ! could in my bed. and
with each explosion wondered If the
next shell might not land in my room.

Ireland's Betrayers

OUR NATURAL ALLIES
Let Us Tie Ourselves to Great
Britain and France.

10 the Editor Of The Tribune.
Sir: suggestion By one OF your reeeh.
contributors 20 the effect that the Ohi'eu
states should form al alliance With Great
Britain seems 20 me pertinent. While lh
form a monarchy, the government OF that
country is in many respects as liberia. as our
owr; and unbiased students Of the two sys.
tens will find much in the English form o.
government that might be adopted IN 'h's
country 70 our manifest advantage
But why not include France IN the proposed
alliance? She is the one great republic In
Europe. and is to-day showing matches de-
votIon 20 the same principles and Ideals
which VIC cherish defensive alliance oil
these three great liberal world powers should
prove a long step in the direction Of a FER
manent peace. Incidentally IT would re
Heye this country Of any necessity Of greatly
increasing It's armed forces. The British
French and American navies combined would
constitute sea force which would not only
al ord the fullest measure OF security 70 these
three nations, but could absolutely enforce
much higher code of international law and
ethics than The world has thus far known.
Subsequently. az conditions might warrant.
other nations should be admitted 10 this
union Switzerland, Norway. Sweden. Italy,
Spain. and, eventually, the whole Of Europe
might thus be embraced in a great alliance
whose purpose would be to insure universal
peace and equality of opportunity for the
nations OF the earth.
This plan involves a radical departure from
the counsels Of Washington and the tradi-
tons Of the Republic. But since world con
ditions are now utterly unlike those which
existed in Washington's time, there would
seem 20 be no more reason why this country
should adhere 70 the policy marked out by
him than that China should forever continue
tho worship Of Confucius. A rev DAY brings
new duties. Our present purpose should be
worthily to act our part in the affairs Of men;
courageously TO take the role for which our
great strength and high ideals as a nation
have so we'll prepared US. We cannot do this
by standing aoof from the rest Of the world.

American honor, are calling for reinforce

out to the bitter end the comedy OF IN
preparedness. Companies are beng sent
forward instead Of regiments. The House

potent than it is to-day. Were we 10

You cannot get real preparedness

mobile army to perform both first line ana
second line work. What we see being done IN
Washington is merely parody on states

Our Horse Cars Seem Doomed.

There is no other city which can better
afford than New York to preserve "A line
or two of horse cars purely for senti-
mental reasons. We are honcycombed
with subways and rooted in with elevated
lines. We are electrified from cellar
to garnet. or. if you choose. from
tenderloin to outskirts. II, therefore, we
wish TO patronizc a few horse cars as pets,
who is there to cry us nay?
Who indeed, except cynical transit
company which purposes within fort
night to take the last remaining horse
car away from us. Here is a fine pickle.
Accustomed for a generation to the eN-
elusive patronage Of these ancient vehicles,
we shall sorely miss the tinkle of the
harness bell, the whistle Of the driver, the
sleepy gait Of the equine plodders, even
the accumulated odors Of other days cling
ing to the interior. Our horse cars re-
call TO our minds as no other agency can
golden past before the discovery of the
germ theory, before the predomnance OF
Prussia, when neither microbes nor mill
tarism disturbed our dreams and peace
and Victoria blessed our ignorance.
And yet, if they must go, perhaps the
present is the best time. We can better
endure such a loss when all about us the
other old landmarks Of civilization are
going by the board. 1t might even be
that in the strange post-bellum world into
which we are drifting the presence OF
horse cars would prove too poignant re-
minder of those ante-bellum days of trust
fulness and optimism.
BY the way, that was a peculiarly
brutal remark of Mr.. Frank Hedley's; Il
do not consider that the streets of New
York City should be used as museum
for the preservation of archaic vehicles"
How that man has changed,
