Let the War Go On, Says One Pacihst

To the Editor Of The Tribune.
Sir: In his communication In The Tribune
Of November 2Sth, Mr.. William Bradford
seems to be OF opinion that all pacifsts desire
that the war should cease as soon as possible.
Mr.. Bradford is in error For Just as MI.
Bradford wishes the war 10 continue until
certain principles deemed desirable by him
shall have been defnitively established, so
many of US pacifsts desire the war to 90 on
until II becomes so horrible that the very
word war will be loathsome 10 mankind for
eyermore.
Let war continue its good work Of teaching
men what war is War, like experience.
teaches a dear school, but fools will learn in
no other II the war should stop now tho
lesson would be only half learned. Let the
war go on, let it teach a still desrer school
until even the most egregious fools have
learned the lesson once and for all and for
ever. CAfUGA.

New-York tribune. [volume] (New York [N.Y.]) 1866-1924, 1916-12-02
To the Editor OF The Tribune.

To the Editor OF The Tribune.
Sir: A new and yet an old subject is now
seitating the people of New York City. We
have had the present summer the threatened
railroad strike, which was averted by action
Of Congress; the street railway strike IN
New York. which died a natural death; the
election, when New York did not elect MT
Hughes President, and now the campaign
against the high cost Of living, the Wicks IN
yestigation and the boycott on eggs. 1t Is
interesting to read the testimony given be
fore the Wicks committee and notice the eK-
travagant statements given by some OF the
witnesses before that committee.
! Commissioner Hartigan makes the state
ment that 81 900, 900 900 to $1,000, 100000 can
be saved 10 the nations consumers by gov
eminent control of food products. The Com
missioner does not say how he arrives at
these conclusions, or in what way the gov
eminent can control the sale and distrlou-
ton of food products. To person more IN
terested in the welfare Of the producer by
reason Of environment than any one else,
this statement appears extravagant.
The storing Of butter and eggs during the
seasons OF greatest production, to be taken
out and consumed during the seasons OF re-
stricted production, is legitimate business
and cannot we'll be dispensed with for OBJ
yious reasons. And the prices Of those
stored products will naturally follow the
prices of current receipts Of fresh stock,
which are going into daily consumption as
the restricted receipts at this time of the
year must be supplemented by drawing from
storage holdings to supply daily wants. The
prices of current receipts are invariably con-
trolled by supply and demand. Take the
consignment Of eggs that left Indiana June
8 at 24la cents dozen, and after various
sales landed with George Ehlenberger, the
last wholesale transaction az 81 cents on
November 15 There is nothing to show
but that they would have reached the same
value if they had remained the property Of
the original purchaser until November Is, as
refrigerator frsts were quoted BAN cents
and fresh gathered extra frsts 4ld42 cents
on that date.
1t is not the purpose Of this letter to con-
done ilegitimate manipulation OF prices, but
to show as nearly as possible where the real
cause for the extremely high prices lies, and
what in my opinion, might be the remedy.
The writer occupies a unique position in the
production, manufacturing and distribution
Of dairy products. We own and are operst-
ing a dairy farm and manage a farmers
creamery in the West and cooperative dis
tributing house In New York City. As re-
suit am somewhat familiar with the cost
and volume of production, the cost Of manu-
featuring and the difficulties Of the distribu-
ton in wholesale way in New York Of
dairy products, and what applies to these
products is practically the same with eggs.
/ recently spent few days in the West,
and in attending the National Buttermakers
Convention at Minneapolis met creamery
men from all parts of the West and made

Simple Means Of Safety

The instructions in Police Commissioner
Woods's campaign TO teach people TO
"take care of themselves" are elementary.
Boiled down, they are just plain common
sense. Yet unquestionably they are needed,
and this widespread endeavor to instruct
the public what not TO do ought to be
profitable in the saving of property and
lives. The trouble is that many people, If
not most people, are careless and reckless
needless of their possessions and their
own safety.
Men flourish large rolls of bills on street
corners, in streetcars, In theatres, IN sa-
looms and restaurants. Women enter pub
lie conveyances displaying valuable jewelry
without thought that it might tempt a
crook to follow and waylay them or to
mark their homes for future robbery.
Women shoppers lay their handbags on the
counters; they carelessly place purses in
them so that a pickpocket even of mean
skill could easily open them and seize the
booty; they wash their hands in public
lavatories and forget the rings they have
removed. Men and women endeavor TO
save a minute by lodging across streets
in the midst of a turmoil of traffic-at the
risk of their lives.
Carelessness with fire is so common that
the nations wastage for preventable blazes
is appalling. Careless automobile drivers
cndanger their own lives and the lives Of
others-and sometimes not even lowered
safety gates at railroad crossings will stop
them.
Fools there will always be, and instruc-
ton will not help them. But most people
are not fools; they are only foolish. For
them there is hope, if they will only stop
and think. Commissioner Woods's cam
paign should help them by forcing them
to think of the many ways in which they
lay themselves open to danger of theft
of fire, of accident, and the simple means
Of safety which lie entirely within their
cwn control.

Britain's New Reservoir Of Men

(Frou, The Boston Herald
"Whv should we refuse 70 avail ourselves

Nyasaland, and his question is not addressed
TO n public opinion that needs to be con-

graft and corruption touching the force, 1t
came under a cloud Of public wrath and
disgust. The vice which touched at most
o small number Of policemen furnished the
name Of all Commissioner Woods has
done wonders in rehabilitating the force IN
its own eyes and in the eyes Of the city at
large. In so doing he has simply utilized
that fund Of honesty and courage which
formed at all times the bulk of police char
acter. This fact is becoming more and
more widely understood, and it is the duty
Of every New Yorker to make his change
Of attitude felt. We are fast becoming
proud Of our policemen, and we should let
them know the fact.
One small but important way Of show
ing our appreciation Of present-day police
men is by helping along the Police Band.
It is a good band, typical Of all that is
best in the new force. That is why we
urge its support here.

To Stop the War Movement

To the Editor of The Tribune.
Sir: The intent with which the statement
Of the Federal Reserve Board published to-
dav was drawn is best illustrated By the fol-
lowing passage;
,"The board does not consider that it is
called upon TO advise private investors, but
il takes occasion to suggest that the
investors should receive full and suthorita-
tive ALPHABETICALLY IN the case of unse-
cured loans" etc. In other words, the board
is doing in this particular instance that
which it is not called upon to do. Why? Is
II the beginning OF an economic pressure 70
be exerted on the Allies TO induce them to
accept mediation by Mr.. Wilson?
The coincidence OF this action with the
"stop the war" movement, which has lately
been launched is peculiar. Are forces at
work in New York and Washington seeking
to further German ends, namely, truce
without which Prussian militarism mus.

Paving for the Guard

To the Editor Of The Tribune.
Sir: According to a report by Comptroller
Prendergast in 1915, the City Of New York
spent on its National Guard s5s7466-bo be-
cause the city charter allowed the Mayor
TO use the Guard, and the expenditure cams
under Section 10, Article VIII Of the Consu-
tuition Of the State Of New York, which allows
a city to incur indebtedness only for 'e'ty
purposes
Under the Hay bill the Governor alone can
call out the National Guard.
How then can New York City or any other
city in this state legally appropriate money
for the upkeep Of armories for the garrison
duty Of the United States soldier as Mr.. Hay
calls the National Guard, who At the within OF
the Federal authorities is used for purposes
never meant for state troops? In time or
peace the cities pay the bill; in time of war
thew are left without protection.
That violates the constitution Of New YORK.
Mr.. HAYS idea is quite Clever OF its kind, but
the State constitution fortunately protects its
citizens from the Hay kind OF cleverness.
The Federal government must provide for
the care of the United States National Guard
or repeal the Hay bill. A taxpayers suit can
settle that. McC0SKRY BUTT,

dent as he that the variations are OF per
manent value. Americanism in language
means to most Englishmen an ingenious
use of slang. John Earle, the late learned
professor Of Anglo-Saxon at Oxford, com
rnended US for giving artistic value 10
slang. Americans" he wrote, have gwen
TO slang that measure of respectaDility
which is inseparable from practical useful
ness" And, apart from many familiar
words of the ruder sort, he quoted few
as possessing true parliamentary dig
nifty; among them "placate,' magnet
ism" in the sense Of PERSONAL quality,
and record" as applied to the chronicle
Of mans conduct.
1t is perhaps not so much Of such words
that Professor Scott was thinking as OF
slight variations in the shades Of meaning.
The ingenious authors Of "The Kings
English" and "The Concise Oxford Die
tionary" are apparently conscious of these
variations, when, after attempting to make
a list of Americanisms, they say ut Is not
worth while to make a large collection
because "every one knows an American
,sm, at present, when he sees it." And
they accept his opinion that the languages
are distinct, insisting that American
isms are foreign words, and should be so
treated" While dealing with the ques-
ton in the gently exalted manner that
Englishmen occasionally affect, they admit
that since the parting which began some
hundreds of years ago America has
sometimes had the better Of England; yet
they are for the jealous exclusion of all
American words and phrases from the Ian
guage that Englishmen call English. 1.-The
English and the American language are
both good things" they say; but they are
better apart than mixed" The tendency
of the day is, however, manifestly tow
ard mixture, and at present the prospect
of distinct American language is slight.

THE WEST s6TH STREET PROBLEM
A Suggestion of Alternative Routes, but
Only Under Protest
To the Editor of The Tribune.

10 the EDITOR OF he
Sir: F. P. A. says in the Coming Tower
this morning: "The altrusts who advocate an
egg boycott, like most altruists, don't go far
enough. They fail to cite perfect substi-
tute."
In YOUR editorial entitled "West Eighty
sixth Street" | find the same fault. Beyond
saying There are other streets available and
suitable" you offer no suggestion to relieve
the deplorable condition Of crosstown transit
existing.
Do you realize that there is no real cross
town line between 59th Street and l25th
Street? The seth Street line, as it exists,
terminates at Central Park West, and the
1l6th Street line Is so inconvenient on &C
count of it's detour of Morningsde Heights
to 1o6th Street as to make it negligible.
The advantages Of seth Street for cross
town line are, first, that it is the most central
location. and, second, that the tracks are al
ready laid to Central Park West. What other
streets are as available and as suitable?
also wish to state that in my opinion, the
crosstown line would not lessen TO any
extent the beauty Of our city. What is
so beautiful about West seth Street? Ger
tainly the little verdure that lines the
curb is not sufficient justification for the
inconveniencing Of the hundreds Of Thousands
who would be benefited by the continuation OF
the line nor even the financial loss of the
comparatively few property owners between
Broadway and Central Park West on S6th
Street
However, should our honorable city bslk
at cancelling an obligation, benefiting the few
at the expense Of the many, | would offer
the following suggestion: That the west
bound cars Of the seth Street Crosstown line
run up Central Park West TO s7th Street,
through 87th Street to Amsterdam Avenue,
down Amsterdam Avenue to 8bth Street, east
10 Central Park West, up to seth Street and
then east through the park.
Or are S5th and s7th Streets park streets,
too? j. RICHARD LEVY.

The English Sparrow

To the Editor of The Tribune.
Sir: crusade is being conducted by the
League of American Sportsmen against that
pestilential little volplanng biped, the Eng
lsh sparrow, domineering and bellicose
braggart, having none Of the distinctive char
acteristics Of other birds except wings and
feathers none of their amiable and lovable
qualities. He is, to be sure, winged like the
angels, the bugs and other insects. That he
belongs in the ranks of the angels none VIII
claim, and any bug with decent sense of
sef-respect must feel profound humiliation
that he, like the English sparrow, has wings.
This small blight on bird life has done his
best, and with regrettable success, TO make
miserable the lives of our native birds, which
one rarely sees nowadays, for they have NIL

native heath by this worthless interloper

To the Editor Of The Tribune
Sir: In your issue of this date Mr.. william

Belgium and her innocent people, advises
that TO make 1t practical It is necessary tna'

about the question Of enforced slavery OF tho
Belgian people by their brutal conquerors IL
will no doubt. be printed in the newspapers
and be read by sympathetic people with re-
gret and anguish, who will pass on TO other
columns.
The suggestion to come together and pro-
test is very wise and practical But will this
government approve Of our protest e neu-
trail people and help US decry the gross vio-
lation of the international law practised by
the inhuman Germans? Will this country
help US carry this humane protest TO the ears
of the world in a way Of approval Of the pro-
test which will signify the dlsapproyal OF
the barbarous way Of handling a conquered,
hapless. meek and subjugated people against
their own will?
Let US come together. protest, debate and
publish it widely. Let the Germans that stu
believe that their Kaiser's might is right read
of these protests and see that the twentieth
century world does not approve OF the bar
barous work Of their modern Attias.
Perhaps they will wake up TO the fact that
their old barbarc belief, "a life spent IN arms
and glorious death in battle are the best
preparation for happier futurity,' is not ac-
cepted by the civilized world and their igno-
minious action under the cloak OF humsnits :
rianism is abhorrent and condemned by all
civilized people. Let US come together Tor

Lake Michigan's Sand Dunes
lFrom ~ Irdiara polis Nh


Il is apparent that if the dune regions Of
Northern Indiana arc TO be preserved as a
rtate or national park quick action will have
TO be taken. A few days ago 1900 acres Of
this land fronting on Lake Michigan was sold
70 a company which has given options on
the property to the Bethlehem Steel Company,
and yesterday another section of 5000 acres
west of this tract was transferred to the
same interests. The only large acreage re-
naming in the region suitable for industrial
development is in the dunes, and 1t is re-
ported that tbs Steel Corporation has been
engaged for weeks in exploring the land
along Lake Michigan.
Much of the primitive landscape of the
dunes has already been marred through the
Invasion Of industries. Great sand hills have
been levelled for commercial reasons. A
substantial portion of what remains of the
Interesting section should be preserved. Ind
lana and Illinois clubwomen have done praise
worthy work for the conversion Of the dunes
into national park and in bringing about a
hearing by the Interior Department II the
project for which they have worked Is to be-
come a reality. the need for immediate and
definite act on is urgent
