Jews Are Loyal
Appreciate Benefits Derived From
American Institutions

To the Editor of The Tribune.
Sir: DR.. Richard GottheiPs letter in your
issue of the l4th inst, under the heading
Jewish Wars" should serve as a rebuke to
Dr. Magnes for his so-cailed peace talk, which
is much out Of harmony with Jewish teach
ings. believe that Dr. Magnes knows there
is embodied in Jewish life principle which
makes it incumbent upon every Jew to be
loyal citizen and to obey the laws of the land
which shelters him.
Every Jew in the United States should
show his resentment to Dr. Magnes's war
stand Here is our opportunity 10 prove to
America that we appreciate the great benefits
we have derived from her established institu-
lions, and that we are going to do our share
toward maintaining them, as the forefathers
of this nation have done theirs in rearing
them.
should, by the way, like 10 offer sugges-
ton. The Security League should see to it
that speeches like Secretary of State Lam
sings recent address at Madison Barracks are
circulated among the foreign element of the
country so that they may know the exact
stand taken by America in this war. For,
living among them, | know how infinitely
this group sympathizes with Americas course
in this struggle, their delusion probably be-
ing due to their unfamiiarity with the facts.

Not the Size That Counts
Editor of The Tribune.

To the Editor of The Tribune.
Sir: Mr.. A. Maurice Low, who writes you
that he is amused and interested BY the
many people who urge daily newspaper
page of approximately the same size as a
magazine page, amuses me. He states that
William Dorsheimer, who for political rea-
sons at one time owned "The New York Star"
NOV one of Hearsts many corporations), did
that very thing with his newspaper about
thirty years ago.
Now, it may interest Mr.. Low to know that
Mr. Dorshemer was dead and buried before
"The Star" underwent that change. Frank
A. Munsey, now owner Of "1he Sum-" had pur
chased "The Star" changed its name to "The
Continent" and it's page form to the smaller
size. The paper did not long survive Mr..
Munsey's experiment, which fact goes TO
prove that it is not the size Of the paper
that counts with the people, but its news
service to them and its purpose.

ent. His whole attitude was an
abdication of original policy or personal
authority"
Then miracle happened. Out went sir
Edward Carson and in came Sir Eric
Geddes, the predestined savior of the ma
ton; the man of genius who sis never IN
doubt as to what he wants done; the very
antithesis in everything to his predeces-
sor. Would he ever be guilty of declaring
his submission in naval affairs to the
sailors? Let US see. Here is what he says
in his very first speech: "You may ask
how do | view the duties of First Lord Of
the Admiralty. The last thing he should
do is TO interfere in naval strategy. My
time in France has taught me that 1t is
better to leave the tactics and strategy to
the professional soldier and sailor, and in
tend to do so.'
The sailors will have full scope, they will
not be interfered with in professional af-
fairs. and to the utmost of his ability Sir
Eric Geddes will help them and see that
thew have free hand and the means to
carry out their plans. Is the programme
80 very different from Sir Edward Car
sons? Are we to conclude that we are I'M
done because the new First Lord has Writ
ually disclaimed superior wisdom and is
apparently without that Original policy
for which Mr.. Pollen yearns?

New York, Aug. Is, 1917.

! told you in my last letter that my num-
Der had been drawn and that was in the
second call. In the meantime, however,
found out that mine is the l2l 9Th number
drawn, which puts me into the first call
Although married, ! will not claim exemp-
ton. This is war for principle, and it
is a shame if an American or an alien whose
intentions are to become an American should
claim exemption just because he is mar
ried. Marriage alone, as per my estimation,
should not be reason for exemption. If
there are no children and the wife is healthy
and capable to earn her livelihood, claim
of exemption should not be recognized.
Another important factor which has en-
tered my mind recently and which is quite
vital to the success of this war is criticism.
Now that the United States of America
has taken an active part in this tremendous
struggle, and is preparing to send millions of
men into the battlehelds of France to fight
for democracy and peace, let us stand
united with our allies as one man. Unity
makes strong" We must do away with un-
timely criticism of the course which the gov
eminent Of the United States has taken in
regard to this war
There is no doubt about this fact that if
Germany had not had this wonderful mill
tary machine (if it is permissible to call
such a thing wonderfully we would not have
had this world struggle. We must and will
destroy this machine of destruction together
with its creator, and the time will come when
the German people will look up to the U. s. A.
as their liberator, and they will be thankful.
In overthrowing the military caste in Ger
many we are destroying error which is hold
ing the German people in bondage The
Allies will be able to establish lasting peace,
and differences of international Importance

Let me again extend to you my heartfelt
thanks for it was you who caused my com

Answering All Peace Proposals

To the Editor Of The Tribune.
Sir: There is one short sentence in answer
TO the peace proposals emanating from the
Central Powers, or from the Vatican, and
that sentence has stood for a week or more
across the top OF the front page of The Trb-
une: "When They Shall Have Learned TO
Think and TO Say Restoration Peace by
Negotiation Will Be Morally Possible"

Patriotic Targets

Having evolved this masterpiece of sar-
torial art. the Secretary of War modestly re
trains from prescribing it officially, but offers
IL as Suggestion" As an aid to the en-
envy in the development Of expert marks
nanship it has no equal. 1t will be noticed
that wherever there is room a shiny piece
of metal is to be attached. The coat Is to
have four buttons OF "white metal white
metal wreath adorns the cap. The central
point of the Uranium is to be indicated by
the letters III G." in white metal. The posi-
ton of the iuguar is marked by similar
white metal letters on the collar. The coat,
which is TO be of dark material, is to have
open apels, showing nice white shirt But
this is not enough Over the white shirt is
worn a black four-in-hand tie, to make doubly
sure. A shot through the lung is aot neces-
sariy fatal To make sure of death one
should hit the aorta At 800 yards there is
nothing like a white shirt and BLACK tie.
Aim AZ the black tie and you cannot f&l.
However. there is one slight improvement
which might be made Remove the coat and
the black tie, and paint the white shirt front
with concentric rings of black and put a
circular black bullseye in the centre, and
the rig is complete. AS the home defenders
have no arms and no immediate prospect OF
any the enemy may practise on these
patriotic targets with perfect safety.
But you say there is no enemy in this
country? Oh very we'll. If you really be
lieve that, why net disband the home de-
fence troops and be done with them? They
are such a bother
Anyway, we still have the Boy Scouts of
America, who look like soldiers.

the present time the War Department has
had no rifles to spare, and there are none In
sight In most cases the local authorities
have not yet made up their minds whether
they want to appropriate any money for uni
forms or equipment Meanwhile men by the
thousand have been sworn in, have been
organized in companies and have been drill
ing for weeks without uniforms or arms.
Some companies, to be sure, have provided
themselves with dummy rifles, with which
they are practising the manual Of arms.
Must Not Look Like Soldiers
In the matter of designing the clothing for
these volunteer home defence forces we have
been consistently inconsistent. Having de-
cided that these men are to do soldiers work,
we are taking great pains to see that they
shall not look like soldiers. The famous hay
bill. passed by Congress in 1916, contains
provisions for the punishment Of unauthor-
lied persons wearing the uniform Of the
army navy or marine corps, or uniforms
similar thereto. Exceptions are made in
favor of the National Guard, the Boy Scouts
of America and certain other organizations,
all of whom are now wearing uniforms sub
stantially identical with those of the regu-
cords, buttons or the like. The act also
gives the Secretary of War elastic authority
to permit such other regularly organized
bodies as he may approve to wear the army
uniform, with proper distinguishing marks.
Notwithstanding this provision, it has not
yet been considered advisable TO authorize
the wearing of the army uniform by home
defence troops, and great uncertainty and
confusion exist in that regard.
Now comes another idea from Wash
ington. "The New York Times" of August D
printed a special dispatch giving the result
of the Secretary of Wars attempt at solving
this great problem Of How to Have Soldiers
Without Knowing It." We quote as follows:
I'm making his suggestion the Secretary Of War
indicated that the uniform described might be used
without variation or with any changes that do not
bring il into conflict with the restrictive section OF
the national defence act The coat should be sim
gle-breasted straight front with four buttons. II
should have lapels and two outside hip bellows
pockets and an outside bellows pocket The but
tons should be OF white metal with the state coat
of arms, and there should be shoulder loops. The
trousers should be of the material the cost
THE cap, which should be Of the same material
rs the coat, should have visor and chin strap OF
black enamel leather, and with white metal buttons
with the state coat OF arms The cap ornament
should be the letters N. g." on white metal IN
closed in a white metal wreath. The letters h o
in white metal should also be on each side OF the
collar Of the coat
The War Department thinks the shirt should be
Of white material and that black four-in-hand
crayat should be worn. It suggests that the mate
rial Of the coat trousers and cap should be part
wool and part cotton and the color either forestry

The President demands armed
L neutrality against Germany
on the ground that she violated
our rights. He has sent nearly
hundred notes to England pro-
testing against her violation oil
our rights, but he does not propose
to compel her TO respect our flag,
our honor and our commercial
rights. He does not say that he
will send ships under Convoy to
neutral Countries from which our
Commerce is barred by England, or
convoy our mail to secure it a.
gainst english Piracy. 1t is this
onesided neutrality that will drive
us into war for such is the ulti'
mate effect OF the measures pro
posed by the President. We also
hear the often repeated plea OF
humanity. 1t can be vindicated
without war if the President would
accept the numerous offers by
Germany engaging to secure safe
passage to our citizens. They are
rejected on the ground that they
work an impairment of American
rights. This comes with very bad
grace from a President, who has
sent notes upon notes to England
protesting against her outrages.
Already the American people are
suffering from the unskillful hand
ling of our foreign policy by
alarming starvation and now we
may expect elimination to that
misery by an indefensible waste OF
blood and treasure. American
Mothers will be demanded TO
sacrifice their sons because a hand
ful of thoughtless and unscrupu-
lousAmericans insist upon choosing
dangerous passage to Europe
when safe way is open to them.
