Ridiculous
+ The Tribune.

To the Editor of The Tribune.
Sir: A Mr.. Messenger has deliberately ex-
planned in your columns that Germany has
been all along animated by defensive pur-
pose against the yellow races, including Rus
STA in that term. and has been acting for US
valiantly in the defence of the white nations.
This is the most ridiculous explanation of Il
war that has ever appeared, so far az know,
and it is hard to imagine the utter childish
ness of a brain which can gravey put for
ward such argument. II is little late to
put il forward Mr.. Messenger should have
mentioned it before. J. r. 5.

War the Fact
Z of The Tribune.

To the Editor of The Tribune.
Sir: In view of the change OF attitude that
must come to the people of this country
soon, il is desirable to call to the attention
of people who know nothing of what wal
means. the following passage from "Mr. Brit
ling sees 1t Through:
"T am the fact said War, and stand
astride the path OF life. ! am the threat OF
death and extinction that has always walked
beside life since life began. There can be
nothing else and nothing more in human
life until you have reckoned with me-"
The eloquence of this needs no emphasis
1t is a remarkable statement Of fact.

II another harvest fail,
II no strafngs should avail
II his schemes should all fall through,
What. then, should the Kaiser do?
Let him look and take example
Where the precedents are ample,
Saw Dahomey-Ashantee-
And the Islands Of the Sea:
There each war-lord has his fetch,
And ofttimes in humor pettish
When his idol misbehaves
Beats il up with clubs and slaves.
With his knife he hacks it, too,
And with arrows sticks il through,
Spite of all the Sinking graces
Painted on its doublefaces.
This, then, can the Kaiser do:
With a humor truly Hunnish
Let him, then. his fetch punish
Hold responsible the One
Who has failed the Master-Hun-
II all strafngs else fall through.
Let him strafe his "Old God" too.
