Red Cross Dividends
Publish the Names Of the Slack.u
Who Pocket These Special Sum.
To the Editor OF The Tribune.

To the Editor Of The Tribune
Sir: This is Red Cross week, and w.
all greatly interested in its results. Tn. ~
and little corporations, usually referrss :.
as "soulless," are coming into line with -.
cial dividends, declared in the name OF n,.
triotism and humanity, to help the o.,
cause. OF course, they cannot pay out s,n.l
holders money for any such purpose: all .b..
can do is to give the extra disbursement. },
the stakeholder with the request tina, !.
turn il over 20 the Red Cross. Il is e.,.
TO figure how much these special DIVIDEND,
will amount to, but will they ell be turned
over? That question perplexes whoever Ia,
to total up the total OF the subscription ".
hope all will go where it is designed il shoula
60. but those of us who have reached ths
time of life when one has fewer llusior,
than he had when he was younger DO M,
expect that such hope will be fully realized
May l. therefore. make this suggestion:
Let every company which sends out a divi.
dend check earmarked for the Red Cross AZ.
company il with a circular which informs all
stockholders that, when upon return Of the
checks il is known where the money hs,
gone there will be sent TO every stockhods,
a list of those who have failed TO ndorss
their dividend check over to the Red Cross
treasurer. | call this a suggestion. To Ii,
two companies in which | am an humb,
stakeholder ten shares in each) it is d.,
mand- an equitable and righteous one 4
is not necessary TO name those two because
there is not "A single corporation which is
thus nobly giving expression to what is in
our hearts which does not number many
stockholders who feel as ! do about this
matter. We want to know and we have the
right TO know how each one Of our fellow
stockholders responds TO the call to his pa.
triotism and humanity. Such statement
will give US information we should have
Speaking only for myself. it may turn out
when the suggested list is published that
stakeholder who has appropriated this special
sacred dividend TO his own use-as he has
an undoubted legal right to dds some one
with whose family my own has heretofore
had cordial relations, or whom | meet in
my club, or am accustomed TO trade with, or
who may be a client | need the information
to arrange my future orientation with my
fellow stakeholder.
This is very serious period for the people
of the United States, more serious than many
of them yet realize. God Is sitting out the
hearts of men before his judgment seat
Let them be sifted through any mesh, COM
plex or simple, which may let us know who
is for us and who is against US.
Perhaps / may be mistaken, but it does
seem to me at least that the suggestion here
made. if carried out, would bring to the Red
Cross treasurer more money than he would
receive if every recipient Of these special
checks could feel assured that no one would
ever know what he did with the money.

laws have been violated fagrantly their
responsibility for the safety of workers. In
the end that safety must depend on the
judgment and conscience of the factory
managers and the owners Of the buildings,
for the best of state inspection is bound to
be fallible, and too frequently what is
given has proved to be far from the best.
II is to be hoped the fate Of Mrs. Diamond
and Barkin will stir up factory owners
and operators in general to assure them
selves that their establishments harbor no
death traps which may bring prison to
them as we'll as death to their operatives.

The Cross-Eyed Pacihst

II takes no Freudian expert TO an
alyze the pacifsts whose clamors have re
ceived none too serious attention since the
United States entered the war. Any one
equipped with ordinary comrVon sense may
observe between the words they speak and
the lines they write the conscious or I'M
conscious interests of such neutrality apos-
ties as Victor Berger, Algernon Lee, Nor
ris Hllquit, Emma Goldman and Alex
ander Berkman, representatives Of two Of
the radical groups now most active in
fighting the United States on United
States soil.
All Of them have revealed in repeated
public utterances a curious hatred for
England, regardless Of the fact that a
good share Of the liberty enjoyed under
our democratic form Of government was
conceived in England. Even more curious
is their attitude of leniency toward Ger
many, except in the case of Berger, who
three years ago annulled his political di-
vorce from Austria, the land of his birth.
Ask, for instance, any one Of the above
named pacifsts or any one of their dis
ciples what he thinks of the German form
Of government, and he will answer quickly
that he has no use for the Kaiser and the
Junker. Whereupon the subject is closed
Mention England, and the Berger-Hill-
quit-Lee type Of pacifst will cut a slice

Was the Cake a Pate
or of The Trlhune.

To the Editor of The Tribune.
Sir: In the face of the authentic informa-
ton given US concerning the keen intelli-
gence of the women of the French Revou-
ton, it seems a pity that any one should con-
tinue to regard as stupid that time-worn
question attributed TO a sister of Louis XVII:
"Why, if the people cannot get bread, do
they not cat cake?"
The pate TO which the practical lady re-
ferred was, believe. very well known at
the time and was much cheaper than bread.
II was made of -four with which n consider
able portion of coarsely powdered wood was
mixed This cake was, believe, eatable,
though perhaps not very inviting or nourish-

A Red Cross Week in the Theatres

To the Editor of The Tribune.
Sir: Saturday at the matinee, as | looked
about me at the crowds who thronged the
theatre, despite the lateness of the season,
thought to myself. How easy it would be
10 raise substantial sum for the Red Cross
through the agency of the New York
theatres"
For instance, if the theatres were TO have
Red Cross week. which would be adver-
tised thoroughly, and the proceeds of which
would be given TO the Red Cross, sum Of
money could be raised in just one week that
could carry on the splendid work of the Red
Cross for number OF months.
How about il? Do you suppose the theatre
managers would take kindly TO the idea!

For Women Detectives
What an Independent Body Might
Do Toward CURLING Vice
To the Editor Of The Tribune.

To the Editor OF The Tribune.
Sir: VIII you please keep up and encourage
correspondence over the issues now orough'
20 the attention of the public by the terrioie
fate Of that brave and pure girl, Miss Kutn
Cruger? / think you will agree that free
bipartisan discussion at such time might
bring good results. Every mother, father'
brother and sister who can think of any way
or means by which the vice and damnap!e
designs of such pests TO the city as Cocchi,
with his policemen chums, can be checked
should feel it to be duty to make their
suggestions known. As a father with TWO
daughters now in the danger whirl OF Ne"
York's business and social life, want TO add
my tribute Of gratitude to Mrs. Grace humis-
ton and to her private detective Tor their
indefatigable, persistent efforts.
II will serve no good purpose to bemoan
the conditions and facts without making
some effort to remedy them. One is almost
at the point of suggesting to abolish the
police organization and seek a new system
70 detect and punish crime. Does not the
history Of the police force plainly show that
il cannot be depended upon to do either!
II succeeds in creating crime better.
As an experiment, how would 1t be TO
apitate for a branch detective department,
supervised absolutely by a number OF ma
ture women with common sense, inspired
by womans born intuition, responsible to
the Commissioner, but emphatically not to
tre officers of the existing department? Such
a body of women could be nominated from
the influential women's associations OF the
city and approved by the Governor. There
are many phases of vice that would then
have some prospect of being successfully
worked out. HENRY l. bEhhi'

of Britain without mentioning single
virtue. Has any one ever heard single
pacifst in the United States acknowledge
the fact that under Britain's rule there has
been and now is established a satisfying
and one of the most practical forms OF
democratic government?
Their minds are obsessed with the faults
of the nation that thus far has prevented
Germany from winning the war and organ
izing all of Europe into an efficient Prus-
sian hell. In spite of their idealistic
spoutings, the record of Germany as
specialist in deeds Of crime does not seem
to have produced in them even a vestge
of spiritual reaction. 1t is a curious spec
tacle to see an international idealist lash
himself into a berserker's fury over the
misconduct of England in centuries past,
and remain as unresponsive as a clam over
the authentic and undisputed outrages
committed by the enemy of this nation,
such as the wholesale murder of little chill
dren, the enslaving of French and Belgian
girls and the systematic massacres OF
nations.
You can see a peace idealist in Hun
nish rage at any peace meeting abusing
the imperfect industrial and social system
of the United States, but has any one ever
seen a pacifst get excited over the Lusi-
tania crime, the raping of French and
Belgian women by German soldiers, and
all the other assorted fendishness prac-
tised hv the Boches?

German Business in England

An astonishing series of legal decisions
from the famous judgment of the Lord Chief
Justice in the Continental Tyre case TO the
recent amazing announcement Of the Master
of the Rolls that alien enemies in Germany
can still carry on business in this country
by power of attorney have shown that the
legal mind has apparently a natural inclina-
ton 70 maintain as far as possible in war
the same rules ss prevail in peace.

Tempe Rancher Murdered.

Stephen Hughes, a prosperous
rancher at Tempe, was murder
ed Dec. Sd by a fellow giving
his name as George Harmon, who
is now under arrest in Ell Paso
and has confessed his crime.
The first suspicious of foul play
were aroused when a sister of
Mr.. Hughes wrote a friend in
Phoenix manifesting uneasiness
that they could get no word from
Mr.. Hughes, and a little investi-
cation proved that he had been
missing from his accustomed
place for several weeks, and
three young men had been SELL
ing off the farm crops amount
ing to several thousand dollars.
Officers got on the trial of two
of the men, and found them in
the jail at Ell Paso charged with
burglary. Harmon, whose right
name is Anderson, claims he was
forced by his companion John
Croft to kill Hughes, and the
body was buried about 100 feet
from the house. Searchers found
the body just as Anderson had
told them.

among the rainbow and mountain
trout, the pungent pines, and the
sparkling springs of this section.
