Esperanto for Soldiers
.itor of The Tribune.

To the Editor of The Tribune.
Sir: When the American soldiers 20 TO
France the first great difficulty they will en-
counter will be their inability to converse
with the French soldiers. In the course Of
time each of them will, of course, pick up a
smattering of French that will enable him
to make known his simplest wants, but they
will find that on account of it's idoms French
is not at all easy to learn.
There is, however way by which in the
course Of few weeks the American soldiers
may be able to converse huently with the
French. There is an international auxiliary
language known as Esperanto, of simple con-
structon, and 80 easily learned that a per-
son of quite ordinary intelligence can read
it after a few days study and can speak it
inside of a couple of months The writer
knows of one man who learned to read it in
six hours and to speak it in three weeks
This language is thirty years old, has gone
through the acid test of use for a vast num-
Der of purposes and has shown that il is
really great help in facilitating intercourse
between those speaking different languages.
There are thousands in France who know
Esperanto. Booklets giving the keys TO
thousands OF words are TO be had for a nom
inal sum. The grammar is absurdly simple
and the language is, unlike the French, des-
titute of idioms
The Esperanto Association Of North Amer
lea and the various state Esperanto asso-
Citations would gladly cooperate in helping
the American soldiers 10 learn Esperanto.
If systematic instruction were given both
officers and mon they would be able to speak
the language fuently by the time they
reached France, and would find that their
intercourse with the French natives, includ-
ing the soldiers, would be rendered far easier
and more pleasant.
The French Esperanto associations would
gladly cooperate by aiding the French SOL
diers TO learn Esperanto so that they might
be able in turn to converse with the Ameri-
cans.
Esperanto would be of such great benefit
to the American soldiers, and with the ex-
penditure of so little effort, that the Federal
government should urge the learning Of
Esperanto as the duty of every American
soldier. JAMES MKIRDY.

Sufraeists and Pacihsts

To the Editor of The Tribune.
Sir: | should like to answer a letter in
yesterdays Tribune entitled "Suffragists and
Pacifsts." The writer appears to be under
a serious Misunderstanding Of several modern
movements. The claim there is made that
there is "close alliance between socialist and
suffragist, pacifst and feminist" which would
initiate against the betterment Of conditions
through the medium of "votes for women"
In the first place, il such classification is
to be made, would it not be more systematic
to group these reckless thinkers in three
classes, thus: % feminists and sufragists,
C2) socialists, (3) pacifsts? Feminism de-
clares an equality between women and men,
an equality Of right in civil life, Of oppor-
tunity in industrial life, of responsibility IN
the moral code; suffrage is clearly the branch
Of feminism which concerns itself with civil
equality There is nothing dangerous or
soul-destroying here. Socialism has nothing
TO DO with either feminsm or woman suf-
frage. Socialism, in its basic form, argues
for government control of public utilities.
The writer Of the letter in yesterdays
paper may know socialists who are |. W. WIS,
but that is not TO say that socialism and
l. W. W.-ism are one. / know Christians who
believe that Eve gave Adam fig and so
brought death into the World ana all our
woe; but that is no evidence that the Adam
and-Eve version Of the creation is part Of
Christianity. As for pacifsm, it is as dis
tinct a creed as socialism, has nothing what
ever to do with it, and has perhaps even less
to do with feminism and the suffrage. Those
of us who know pacifsts and socialists and
feminists and suffragsts may chance to num-
Der one among our acqusintances who is two
or more or all of these; but that scarcely con-
yinces US that the creeds are in CLOSE slli
ance" or connected at all.
Even the list Of villains who have helped
the cause of suffrage does not make il clear
how their service in one cause is tainted by
n cir disservice in another. The Kaiser pro-
claims himself a Christian. Must that be
considered a smirch on Christianity?

To the Editor of The Tribune
Sir: The Challenge to Mr.. Moffett,"
printed on your editorial page to-day, over
the signature of Mr.. Moderwell, reminds me
Of the challenge of woman who, somewhere
about the end of the first year of the war,
was called to task by me for having OBJ
tanned my wife's signature, upon false rep
reservations, to a petition for an embargo
upon the export of ammunition.
The person who had so obtained the sigma
ture inquired Of me as to my reasons when
I demanded that it be erased. My answer was
that "the petition was being circulated in
the interests Of Germany" To this she re-
piled that / had no right to make such an
assertion, because l could not prove it. She
thought she had me thoroughly squelched
but l answered, "You have no right to as
sert that there is a war in Europe, because
you have not seen IT,"
We do not have TO possess the nostrils of
hound in order to identify the mephits
emanating from things made in Germany"

life of these defendants than this treat
ment?" Of all this Mr.. Swami had knowl-
edge, the referee insists, and approved
of it.
On this report Governor Whitman may
be content to take no action. Mr.. Swann's
term expires in few months, and he is
a candidate for reelection. Punishment by
the executive would be construed as
political move. Fortunately, the voters OF
New York County have the remedy in
their own hands. An official who would
approve a condition such as Mr.. Ingra-
ham reports is not the type of man to be
reelected. Mr.. Swami should go.

The Right Man

There was time in the politics Of this
state when not to know Luther B. Little
was to argue ones self both unknown and
unknowing. In that time state political
leaders were glad to ask his advice and
men Of national political repute were
proud tn claim his friendship.
In selecting Mr.. Little to manage Mr..
Mitchslo campaign Fusion has acted with
rare good Judgment. It has chosen a
man wl.q knew all that was most efficient
in the political machinery Of the past and
represented all that was best IN party
organization Of that time.
Mr.. Mitchell is TO bs congratulated on
having his campaign in such competent
hands.
New-York tribune., 1917-08-31
Mr.. Swami Should Go

II District Attorney Swami can get any
comfort out Of the report Of Mr.. Ingrs-
ham, referee in the City Clubs charges,
he must be an unconditional optimist. The
referee finds that since there was no proof
Of corruption-"th is, Of fact influenced
BY a monetary or financial consideration
the Governor would be justified in re-
framing from removing the District At
torney from Office. But the referee also
finds, and specifically calls to the Gov
ernor's attention, evidence indicating a
scarcely less serious condition in the Dis
trict Attorneys Office.
The charges against Mr.. Swami grew
out Of the handling-or mishandling-of
certain garment strike cases. Mr.. lngra-
ham reports that, while there was no
doubt that crimes had been committed, the
District Attorneys force, after assuming
Office. seemed 10 decide that it would not
prosecute those under indictment. Though
this decision that the indicted Individuals
we're not guilty involved the assumption
that the witnesses on whose testimony
they were indicted must have been guilty
Of perjury, Mr.. Ingraham finds that no
move was made against these witnesses
for some ten months. Then Judge Dele
hanty sent his communication to the Gov
ernor, opening the entire affair, and
there was great activity by the whole
District Attorneys staff, not apparently
to prosecute those guilty Of the crimes
back in 1914, but to discover some method
Of Furnishing those who had testified as
TO the ones who had committed the crimes,
or the witnesses upon whose testimony
these indictments had been obtained"
These witnesses were indicted for per-
jury, were arrested and committed to the
city prison in default of large bail, and
after interrogations in the District Attor-
ney's Office and in court some pleaded
guilty to perjury. Having pleaded guilty,
they we're permitted by Assistant District
Attorneys to be discharged in the custody
Of their counsel. Those who refused TO
change their testimony stayed in Jail.
"Thus every Witness" says Mr.. Ingra-
ham, "who could possibly testify to sus-
tain the charges against the District At
torney had been indicted and was either
awaiting trial or had confessed TO per-
jury" Before they we're indicted for per
jury they insisted that their original tes-
timony was true. But after indictment
end incarceration in the city prison, after
prolonged inquisiton in the District At
torneys Office, some Of them recanted
"Was not the very situation in itself
threat?" queries Mr.. Ingraham. Gould
any greater threat be uttered against
people Of the knowledge and situation in

Parkway Cows Have Long Horns
New York, Aug. 20, 1917.

To the Editor of The Tribune.
Sir: There seems to be a fear in some
quarters that Germany is invincible. After
having visited every part of Germany on a
dozen different occasions, have found no
reason to suppose that the German people
were in a class with ourselves for power and
resourcefulness, or that we could not, given
little time, smash them to a frazzle in a
grueling fight The idea that the Germans
have anything in their makeup, except the
mere capacity to grind and to obey orders
without question, which might make them a
match for ourselves is based largely upon
pro-German propaganda and the notion that
far-away cows have long horns.
1t would take an article to expose the fall
lacies of such assumptions, but here there
is merely room to suggest that any Ameri-
can born with individuality and initiative
as his birthrght is more than the equal of a
German, who is born and made to be a mere
part of huge piece Of machinery. II we
cannot win this war democracy deserves to
go under, for it will have shown that it is
unfit to survive.
Besides, if we cannot win on the present
occasion against an exhausted GERMANY we
shall surely lose when she next attacks US,
after having regained her breath. If we are
to lose our liberty, let US do it now and have
the agony over with. We are not fit to be
free people it, once embarked upon the con-
test, we do not stake cur all 10 cinch the
conclusion. GUSTAV Kissing.
