Hopes and Fears of Submarine War

An estimate founded on the corrected
lists of merchant vessels sunk in the first
month of unrestricted submarine warfare
shows that the total loss amounted to
about 100000 tons This is somewhat
greater than the figures published here
day by day had led us to suppose, but
still falls short by half of the German
unofficial, or semi-official, forecast.
1t would be imprudent on the strength
of this comparison to conclude that the
campaign had failed, for we have no way
Of telling how unfavorable the conditions
for submarine work may have been during
the month of February or what the posi-
bilities of the future are. A comparison
between this campaign and the campaign
of two years ago makes it plain that the
perils to merchant shipping are much
greater to-day. Ruthlessness may be sup
posed TO have reached its height when the
Lusitania was sunk, yet the total number
of ships destroyed in the following eight
weeks hardly exceeded the number of neu-
trails alone destroyed in the four weeks OF
last month. Another important point to
bear in mind is that if the Germans sue
coed in compelling neutrals TO remain in
harbor the primary purpose Of their new
campaign will be virtually achieved.
On the other side, it is evident that the
proclamation Of the new danger zones has
not wrought so sudden change as many
enthusiasts in Germany expected. The
losses of tonnage exceeded 322 900 in Jan
uary and BAG 900 in December; hence the
increase, Notwithstanding the enormous
extension Of the prohibited area and the
avowed Indifference TO neutrals, IS not
much more than 100000 tons.
Many German writers have amused
their readers with calculations designed 10
demonstrate the inevitability of British
downfall, but as there are many factors Of
which they cannot possibly have any exact
knowledge il is idle 20 count on their
rcasonings. Percentages reckoned on the
size Of the commercial feet before the war
can lead 10 no useful conclusion unless
the conditions in the shipyards are under
stood and the possibilities Of replacing
lost tonnage duly taken into account.

ELECTORAL COLLEGE INEQUALITY
Southern States Are Favored and Suffrage
States Heavily Penalized

To the Editor of The Tribune.
Sir: Several of your correspondents have
been calling attention TO the gross inc
qualities of the relative voting Of North and
South It is time that Congress did some
thing about this injustice that requires two
votes in the North 70 Offset one vote IN
the South. Proportionate representation OF
the actual vote cast should be the basis Of
the Electoral and Congressional voting in the
country at large, ard hope this important
question will be agitated until it is settled
right. While we are considering the rank
injustice to the North by the South. let the
North and East take into consideration the
equally great injustice TO twelve great West
ern states at the present time What is sauce
for the goose should be sauce for the gander.
Proportionately, the twelve suffrage states,
50 called, polled two votes for every one
vote polled in the North and East, and up TO
date | have not noticed one word of protest
against this humliating position on the part
u tho East and North. To bring the injus-
tice more forcbly 70 the front | have COM
piled from official election returns the total
vote cast for all candidates for President ir
the different sections of the country
have included in group No. / the suffrage
states, with ninety-one electoral votes. In the
second grouping the New England states, with
Pennsylvania and North and South Dakota,
comprise ninety-two electoral votes. and i
a fairly representative lot of Northern and
Eastern states. To represent the South, so
called, have taken the sheep with the goats,
namely: Mississippi, Alabama, Louisiana.
Florida, Georgia, North Carolina, Texas and
South Carolina, with ninety-three electoral
votes. Certainly a distinctive Southern

"A Heartrending and 0minous Spectacle
To the Editor of The Tribune.

To the Editor of The Tribune
Sir: Il is my desire as a citizen 10 enter
protest against the action Of the Assembly
of New York in voting to resubmit the issue
of woman suffrage to the people Of this state.
At time like this, when the country needs
every available ounce of manhood, it is a
distinctly saddenng sight to see the Empire
State in the hands of feminized Legislature
Their action is not that of either a Demo-
cratic or Republican form Of government, and
1t is an unfortunate day for US all when.
against the wishes of a vast majority of the
people of the state, our elected representa-
tves yield weakly to the whims of band of
women obsessed by political ambitions.
This is time TO lessen the powers Of
government, no time to a bitter in
ternal controversy, and no time TO consider
a fundamental change to system that both
Colorado and California make evident has
corrupted, weakened and undermined the
strength Of government.
It is indeed heartrendng and most omi-
nous spectacle that handful of power mad
women can dominate the peoples repre-
sentatives that, TO please these women, they
deliberately aid their efforts to nullify the
ballots Of the men of the state.
What kind of manhood and conscience, if
any. do these legislators possess? w. c. c.

figures that were discouraging enough,
but. as Lord Curzon pointed out, they
might prove misleading unless other
figures were considered simultaneously
For he went on to show that whereas at
the outbreak of the war the British mer-
camille marine consisting of vessels over
1 500 gross tons numbered 1880, with a
total tonnage of 16,85O,O00, the total num-
Der on the first day of the new unrestricted
campaign was 3,540. with total tonnage
barely short of 100000. Hence in two
years and a half of war the net loss from
all causes was less than 6tper cent Of the
gross tonnage.

Medica! Education for Women

To the Editor Of The Tribune.
Sir: / ncose herewith a clipping from
yesterdays Tribune, in which the headlines
indicate that there is no first rate medical
college in New York City open to women.
The faculty of the Long Island College Hos
pital voted to open the college to women, and
il was so announced some time ago by about
$50 worth of advertising in The Tribune.
The Long Island College Hospital requires
hereafter two years of college study for the
four-year medical course, thus putting its
educational standard on a par with the ma
jorty Of the university medical schools in
this country Columbia University is giving
a two-year pTemedical college course here in
Brooklyn for students intending to enter the

cal course is also open TO women.

From the above table you will see that it
takes approximately $1,000 votes to elect an
elector In the suffrage states. 10000 votes TO
elect an elector in the North and 1900 votes
to elect an clcctor in the South. Certainly a
startling condition OF affairs. and one that
ought to awaken the conscience OF the North
and East to immediate action The West
certainly will take no backward step. II is
up to us TO right this wrong by duplicating
the progressive work of the great West. AL
ready steps are being taken in Ohio, Ne
braska. South Dakota, North Dakota, Indiana
and other states to grant Presidential and
municipal suffrage TO women. The leavcn il

Kismetl For how else shall one explain
why il is that, in the rare cases when
verbal error finds its way into the printed
page, it so invariably lights upon the one
word of all others which is essential TO a
clear understanding of the text? Thus
find myself saying in the last paragraph Of
my criticism of the new battle-cruisers in
The Tribune of February 2s: "Mr. Daniels
and his advisers. against the opinion Of the
private shipbuilders, have adopted the
geared drive" IL is needless to say that
"geared" drive should read electric" drive.
Had the Navy Department adopted the
geared drive, the contracts for these four
ships would have been let many weeks ago,
and for over one and a quarter million dol
lars less per ship than will be asked if
the electric drive goes in.
What makes this defect in the battle
cruisers so surprising is the very high
standard of excellence maintained by our
naval constructors in the capital ships
which they have designed during the last
fifteen or twenty years. And particularly is
this true of their defensive qualities that
is TO say, their armor plan and the provi-
sions against torpedo attack Indeed, if
some way can be found to get all the boiler
plant below deck, these batte-cruisers will
be so superior to any ships of their type
abroad as TO be in class by themselves.
Ships that can carry a battery of ten 80
calibre 14-inch guns into battle at a speed
Of thirty-fve knots and receive the blow
of two or three modern torpedoes and re-
main afoat are formidable indeed. Their
underwater protection against mine and
torpedo is superb, and their great speed and
unusual helm power will render it extreme
" difficult to make a hit with the torpedo
except at very short range.
Against the four battleships of the same
programme fiscal year 1910 there is abso-
lutely no criticism to be made. They pos
sess in a high degree the two Characters
tics which have made American battleships
famous-heavy armor and powerful bat
teries. In thickness of armor they will
probably exceed somewhat the Oklahoma
and the Nevada, which, with 1872 inches Of
belt armor and eighteen inches on the tur-

Experimental Sociology

(Protcssor r. Stuart chaplin, n The So'edhhc
MonthhO
Sociological experimentation IS clearly IN the
pioneer stage of feeling its way. Collective
activity is carried on by the trial and error
method. There is a social selection Of adapted
WAYS analogous TO the natural selection OF
adapted structures. But the selection Of
ADAPTED ways is by two processes: Social Sc
lection. involving individual exclusion or eX-
termination, and societal selection, involving
constraint and social control. But social and
societal selection are forms Of collective eX-
perimentation by the trial and error method
Icqisiative action is socieial selection in the
trial and error stage of the experimental
method. since the results Of so much social
LEGISLATION are inconclusiye. But when all the
conditions Of social problems have been DIS
covered by the trial and error method may
not the socioloRist then pass on to the pre-
else stage Of the experimental method! Inc
data Of sociology are so complex and obser-
vations show such great variation that pre-
cige methods seem impossible. is there, then,
no way TO overcome hindrances TO precise
methods Of experimentation IN sociology
which are due to limited control and com
plexity of data? The statistical method helps
10 anayze out conditions OF cause and effect
and assists in overcoming the difficulties pre-
scented by complexity OF data. In conclusion,
the statistical method bears 10 scientific
method in sociology much the same relation
that the experimental method bears TO pre-
~ise fnetho| ~ physical science.

Call an Extra Session at Once!

The Tribune has no sympathy whatever
with the motives of the Senators who
talked the so-called armed neutrality bill
to death. We urged Congress to grant
the President all the powers he asked Tor
after reducing them to positive, concrete
form. We should have been glad to see
Congress give him powers far exceeding
those which he asked for. We believe
that Congress should have declared war
On Germany as soon as 1t learned that
American lives had been lost through the
murderous attack on the Laconia.
We regret the defeat of the armed neu-
trality bill, even though we think that a
resort to armed neutrality would be a
pitifullv inadequate and unworthy answer
to Germanys practical declaration of war
on the United States. Under existing cir
cumstances armed neutrality can be only
subterfuge and fzzle. On Germanys
part A state of war already exists. She is
reaping all the benefits of that status and
suffering none of its inconvenience. On
our part a state of peace exists. we are
suffering all the disadvantages OF that
status and reaping none of its DEMENT'S
The only possible way to rationalize the
present situation is for the United States
to declare war
The President can still do on his own
initiative some of the things which the
armed neutrality bill would have author
lied him to do. We hope that he will en-
ploy whatever powers he possesses under
the Constitution to protect American lives
and American shipping against German
attacks. But it is evident that he can
not 90 of his own motion as far as the
country's interests and honor require nm
to 90. He will need the cooperation OF
the new Congress in very large meas
IRE Without its help he cannot properly
prepare for the war which is at our door.
The two houses should therefore be
called together at once. Several lmpor-
tant appropriation bills failed when the
armed neutrality bill failed They VIII
have to be passed. Moreover, we have not
even made a start toward real military
preparation. An officers corps of $4,000
ought to be created without delay for our
new army, also still to be created, and the
framework of modern military system
must be set up.
The President said in his message Of
last Monday that he didn't want to call the
new Congress in session because there
might be fight over the organization OF
the House of Representatives. But the
new House must organize some time. The
sooner the organization is effected the
better. The 65th Congress ought to be put
to work as quickly as possible, for 1t VIII
have a vast amount of really constructive
work to do. Every days delay in calling
the two houses together will therefore be
to Germany's advantage and our dlsad-
vantage. since it will unnecessarily hinder
the development of our military resources
and the attainment of reasonable CON
dition Of self-defence.
