THE HARVARD MONUMENT


To tho Editor Of Tho Tribune.
Sir: read with amaiement In The tribune
of January 10 the letter by John Jay CHAP
man, entitled "The Harvard Monument, IN
which he said that the proposal OF harvard
to raise n monument to her sons who nave
fallen in the European war was IAN insult 70
Cod because, forsooth, no discrimination
was to be made between those who had died
for the Germans and those who had died Tor
the Allies.
As il the great University OF Harvard
could possibly take the side OF either one oil
the combatants in her natural desire to COM
memorste those who have died fighting Tor
what they believed to be the right. Let Mr.
Chapman visit the battlefield Of Antietam,
in Maryland, and there study the beautiful
and touching monument Erected by the
State OF Maryland to Her Sons Who Fought
on Both Sides" Then he might realize the
injustice of the views expressed in his letter.

A Revised Version

To the Editor of The Tribune.
Sir: | have as much right to speak for the
Allies as President Wilson has, and as | OBJ
viously understand the mind of the Allies
herewith submit the Presidents last speech
as IL appears 20 those who read between the
lines:
81. Woodrow Wilson. reelected President
of the United States by a minority Of the
voters, do now propose that, whereas the
United States would tolerate no Intervention
when France sought to bring about peace
during our Civil War, we Americans, from
purely humanitarian motives acquired short
ly after Germanys early prospects began TO
look dark, now deem it timely to call halt
on this waste of life and treasure just as the
Allies are about ready to finish their task.
"And whereas, the thirteen American colo
nies by force Of arms became the United
States of America, which country afterward
took Florida more by pressure than by
money, and compelled Mexico to hand over
California, Arizona, New Mexico and parts
Of Colorado and Utah, and wrested the
Philippines from Spain. and is now running
Santo Domingo and Hsyti for the benefit Of
the native and to suit tho United States,
assert that no peace can last, or ought 70
last, which does not recognize and accept the
principle lndL governments ucIi'S MI 1iSif
Just powers from the consent OF the gov
erned, and that no right anywhere exists,
outside OF the Philippines, to hand peoples
about from sovereignty to sovereignty as if
they were property.
"And whereas, Great Britain has for many
years followed the practice of free trade,
permitting Germany and the United States,
and all other lands, TO send her without duty
or tax all they chose TO export, insist that
freedom is the sine qua non Of peace, and
that the United States, consequently, must
maintain at all costs the highest of tariffs so
as to exclude the products of other lands as
much as possible and help the American citi-
zen to a greater freedom. This self-evident
humanitarian motive needs no defence.
"And whereas, the Northern States did
vigorously blockade the Southern ports, seiz-
ing British ships as we'll as the cargoes they
contained. even when the aforesaid ships
were bound TO neutral ports, / declare that
the paths of the sea must alike in law and
in fact be free.
"And whereas, the United States Of Amer

Death and the Locked Door.

For the locked door in the Diamond fac
tory in Williamsburg which caused the
death Of twelve workers when that build
ing caught fire Samuel Barkin faces a
long term in Jail. If he should spend a
year behind the bars for each Of the lives
lost, according to the jury's verdict, be-
cause he locked that door, the penalty
would still seem light to a community
which, with memories Of the Triangle
fire and the remedial legislation following
it, was Mortified at this new evidence of
criminal disregard of safety laws.
New York States laws intended to
safeguard factory workers are stringent
enough-most property owners consider
them far too stringent. But the evidence
brought out in the Coroner's inquest fol-
lowing the Williamsburg disaster showed
that their enforcement was lax to shock
ing degree. Two subordinates Of the In
dustrial Commission we're penalized for the
conditions thus disclosed. The commission
ers then holding office still hold office, some
having been reappointed and confirmed by
the Senate despite charges to the Governor
based on the facts in this case. 1t is posi-
BILE that if the commissions work had
been performed more diligently even the
locked door need not have enforced its
death toll. There is some satisfaction in
the reflection that the criminal law has not
been invoked in vain. Factory proprie-
tors and owners Of buildings who may feel
inclined to take chance with the factory
laws are much less likely to endeavor to
avoid compliance when they think of the
Jail sentence awaiting Barkin.

Alsace and Germany

To the Editor OF The Tribune.
Sir: Our society. which is affiliated with
the Museum of French Art adopted at its
last meeting the following resolution:
Whereas, There has appeared in New York
newspapers a news item emanating from the
German Overseas News Agency to the effect
that the two renegades, Petri and North,
had stated that the Alsatians wish to remain
Germans; and
Whereas, 1t is an historical fact that the
Alsatians cannot remain Germans, because
they are not Germans:
Whereas, The Alsatian people, since 1871,
never ceased to protest against their annexa-
ton by the Germans;
Whereas, II is known that since 1870, and
especially since the beginning of this war,
the Germans treated Alsace not as Ger
man country, but as a conquered country;
"whereas, The majority Of Alsatians forced
TO serve with the Germans have been sent
by the German General staff TO the eastern
front in order to prevent their going over to
where their sympathies lie, that Is to say, to
the French;
Whereas, The official list of deserters, de-
prived of their civil rights as Germans, pub
lished by the German government of Alsaee-
Lorraine since the beginning of the war, con-
tains the names Of thousands upon thousands
of Alsatians from every village, town and
hamlet of Alsace, who preferred to fight and
die for France rather than become cannon
fodder for the German Kaiser;
Whereas, Being apprised of the fact that
for the last six months tens Of thousands of
Alsatian girls and women from the city OF
Mulhouse have been torn from their families
and sent to the interior of Germany to work
in ammunition factories
Whereas, The Alsatian people knows from
its present experience and from its OVID
sufferings for the last forty-six years at the
hands of the barbarians, "Schwowe," from
across the Rhine, what the Belgian people
must be suffering at the present time;
Therefore be it resolved, That the members
OF this society, Les Amis de PAlsace-Lor-
raine,' extend TO the co-suferers OF their
country. the Belgians, their most heartfelt
sympathies; that in the name of humanity
they protest against the nameless outrages
committed by the Huns of the twentieth CEN
tury in Belgium, Northern France and Alsace-
Lorraine, and that they brand the inventions
of the German Overseas News Agency as will
full lies. manufactured by the German Gov
eminent to influence the people OF the United
States" CLEMENT RUEFF,
Chairman of lies Amis de rAlsace-Lor-.
raine."

Another American Pleasure Resort

tFrors The Philadelphia Inquirer
Title to the Danish West Indies having
passed formally from Denmark TO the United
States through the exchange of ratifcations
between Secretary Lansing and the Danish
Minister, we may now congratulate ourselves
upon having added another health and pleas
ure resort TO the string already posses ed by
this country.
Your Uncle Samuel may throw out his
chest now as he surveys the string of re-
sorts he has added to his possessions. Pri-
marily, Of course, we buy St Thomas and
the other islands for strategic reasons, but
the great American travellers may be de-
pended upon to utilize them as pleasure
grounds. What matters it if the war does
shut out American tourists from Europe
We are reaching the stage, almost uncon-
sciously, when we may travel 70 almost any
part of the world and still be under the
American flag. Is it the Danish West Indies
Is it Porto Rico? Is IL the Philippines? Is
il Hawaii? Is it Guam? IL is all one TO the
American. And if that is not enough we
still have a protecting Interest," sort of

THE MYSTERY OF SUICIDE
A Contrast Between Excitable Man and
Evenly Balanced Woman

To the Editor of The Tribune.
Sir: The rate for suicide In the United
States in 1910 was 2o3 per 100000 popula-
ton, according to "The Spectator" One
large city in California has record of 63
per cent while in Auburn, n. Y, it is "a.
The male rate is "a, the female TT. Why
this difference Why is suicide, anyway
The unusually large rate on tho Coast is
T robably due to the fact that so many people
go there seeking better health, thus aug
menting the population with invalids. And
a certain per cent of these invalids, failing
to find health, consider suicide
The difference in the rate between men
and women is hard TO explain. A man, we
will say, who had reached the age Of forty
discovers that he is not feeling well. He
goes to see the doctor and is examined. The
physician informs him that he must have a
change Of air, restrict his diet and take
more exercise. He goes 10 California. Ar
irving there, he hunts up health resort and
proceeds to enter into enthusiastic chase
after health. fully confident of catching it
in a few days and returning to his business
affairs But health like a woman, is usually
hard 10 win. It takes will power and unlim-
ted perseverance, and is really the test OF a
mans character. He has arrived at the
crisis Of his life, and goes up or down &C
cording 20 the fibre of his makeup.
With a woman il is different Unlike 4
man. she rarely worries about tho future;
she lives in the present and takes life as it
comes. She has more courage and her imag-
alton is less active or more sane, you
might say. With her what is is. Moreover
she uses better judgment about eating and
drinking; for, like a cat, she knows when she
has enough, and all the good fellows on
earth can't prevail on her TO "have another"
One seldom meets a woman who is suffering
from an imaginary illness; when she is sick
she is undeniably sick, and no mistake. II
a woman is going TO die she knows II in
stinctively without any ono telling her, and
she simply resigns herself TO the inevitable
with calmness and uneoncern that cannot
be shaken.
Therefore we should say that more women
die natural death than men--that ia, they
wait until the proper time and do not try
to rush matters; and that man, a creature Of

Unterrorized
To the Editor Of The Tribune.

To the Editor Of The Tribune
Sir: The National Woman Suffrage Asso-
citation, composed of about 81 or SO per cent
Of the enrolled sufragists of the country,
wish to entreat the men OF New York State
not to be frightened by the latest bulletin
of Miss Alice Hill Chittenden, president of
the state anti-sufrage association. In this,
referring to the little handful Of women now
"picketing" the White House, she asks: "Are
the men Of New York State going to capitu-
late to this sort of female politics, with its
constant menace Of miltancy and its ines
capable suggestion Of French history and the
Reign of Terror" Ever since the suffrage
movement was started about seventy years
ago, the opponents have predicted that il
would result in duplicating the terrors of the
French Revolution, but thus far there are no
signs Of it beyond this small group OF women
standing quietly on the sidewalk outside the
White House. We think it is quite safe TO
say that this will be the extent of the revo-
luton IN this country.
