Elections Won't Win War
Therefore Mrs. Blatch Urges Women
to Fall To and Work
To the Editor Of The Tribune.

10 the EDITOR or Inc tribune.
Sir: Ny name appears in connection with
the suffrage meeting held last night at one
OF the public schools. was not at the meet
ing and had no association whatsoever with
he committee Of one thousand which organ
lied the meeting. And my sole relation TO
the proposed deputation was that on Friday
was asked to join a delegation OF voting
women which was 70 wait on the President
and ask for the Federal suffrage amendment.
promised 20 consider the matter On Sat
urday / called up the chairman of the COM
rittee and one other member and informed
both that could not be one Of the depu-
tation. Since last February | have taken
little part in suffrage work. having devoted
my time mainly to matters connected with
war service.
To judge By the hue and cry that is going
on about non-essentinls, one might suppose
that America is at peace, the world at peace,
starvation nonresident and civilization pro-
crossing normally.
In New York State. it seems TO me, each
woman should politically do two things
first, go in orderly fashion into the party
which best reflects her opinions; second,
Join u non-partisan group which in scholarly
fashion would weigh facts and crystalline
judgment To endeavor TO hold women M a
mass outside the existing parties is as futile
as unwise. Women have always had voice
IN the management Of the Socialist party.

Help the Y. M. c. A.

We are called hospitable race in Amer
lea and we can justify our title. There is
no nation where home means more and
where its shelter and warmth and happi-
ness are more generously shared Being
hospitable to our boys in the American
training camps and in France, giving them
the same sort of home life that we would
gladly give them if they we're encamped
near our homes. involves something much
more difficult.
1t involves feat of the imagination IN
the first place. It means that each OF us
must picture war as it is, in training camp
as in trench, as not only thing of heroic
moments, but of long, dull routine and sus-
pense. We must picture our American
bows in their camps at home and abroad
AS needing more urgently than ever the
very things that the word 'home' sums
I'D. We must picture them tired, cold and
exhausted, as worn and discouraged, as
needing day after day, through weary
weeks and months, the light, warmth and
cheer that an American home spells.
Having conceived this need, there Will
be few Americans to hang back from the
task of filing it. And, thanks to the initia-
tive and intelligence of our \. NJ. Z. a.
organization, there is already well under
way and advanced toward completion the
vast machinery for effecting as much of
this miracle as is humanity possible. We
cannot take our homes TO France or TO the
training camps here, but we can send the
spirit of them and their good works TO
hearten and aid our troops.
The work that the Y. NJ. c. A. huts are
already doing in France is familiar TO
Tribune readers in the writings of Mrs.
Helen HAYES Gleason on this page. That
work must be extended and expanded.
Quite as vital and great labor is that OF
caring for the millions in training IN this
country. Nor has the navy been forgot
ten. 1t is tremendous undertaking.
Thirty-fve million dollars is the amount
now asked. The campaign to raise this
sum ends next Monday. Before that day
every American should give his bit to this
labor of home-making in camp and at the
front New York is at present behind In
filing its quota. It must end ahead. Send
what you can and as much as you can
either to your local committee or direct to
Cleveland II. Dodge, treasurer, ia East
Twenty-eighth Street. No dollars that you
give to your country will pay richer divl-
dends of comfort and happiness to our far
off fighting men.

Beethoven and the Great War

The town of Pittsburgh has gone every
body else one better by placing on its In
dex Expurgatorius not only Fritz kreis-
Ter. but Ludwig van Beethoven. An alb
surd decision. this. We all know it to be
absurd. We hope that we ourselves and
our city will not make as understanding
and rude rule.
Yet there is no installing the fact that
such decisions and rules are the natural
reaction TO well meant efforts TO be more
neutral in art than plain, ordinary fight
ing human nature can stand. Our friends
the intellectuals have no difficulty IN
drawing a fine line between their artistic
appreciations and such philosophy of war
as they have mastered. For the rest OF
the world, that fights with its fists rather
than its philosophy, such line is not so
easv to construct 1t wavers and grows
blurred, and from time to time is thumbed
off the map in an excess Of plain will
to hit.
This is regrettabe, of course. But If
the only will to fight was the well-tempered
resolve of our intelectuals there would
not be much use in fighting. We might
better surrender at the start. Ludwig van
Beethoven was good fighter in his day.
He can stand very comfortably brief
eclipse in a few American cities, and if
lie happens to be looking down in the dl-
rection of Pittsburgh at the present mo-
ment we can imagine a smile upon his
lips-grim, but smile. That seems to US
fair view Of the episode.
We have no doubt that Pittsburgh will
presently repent of its hasty decision and
resume its enjoyment of Beethoven.
Meantime we refuse to grow excited over
the episode or damn for all time the arts
tic soul of Pittsburgh. Art can wait. The
war cannot. Art is rightly called uni
versal, yet there is no great art which Is
not founded upon intense nationality.
Those very foundations, of nationality as
of civilization, are to-day in peril. To
insist upon promulgating precise rules of
artistic appreciation at an hour when the
whole basis of art itself is in the balance
is like carrying out the grand piano and
letting the house burn to the ground.
The important question at the moment
IS not how exqusitely adjusted is the
Pittsburgh intellectual poise, but how
heavy is the Pittsburgh punch. The poise
can be resumed later. 1t is now or never
with the punch.

SUMMER FORAGE FOR SWINE
Difficult TO Have Other
Green Feed.

(By W II DODsOS. Director OF Expert
nent Station. Louisiana State Cniyer-
sity)
The sweet sorghums make a very ac-
ceptable forage for hogs In the early
summer, coming at time when II Is
sometimes difficult 20 have other green
feed Sorghums are most serviceablc
for grazing during May, June and early
July.
The results Of experiments Mt the
Louisiana station have not Indicated
the high value OF sorghnms az graz
ing or so!ling crop for hogs they are
reputed to have. In fact, we do not
place very high value on them, and
commend their use only as make
shift. The only strsng points In their
favor are that they give quick returns,
and may be had about the time winter
crops are not sufficiently matured for
best service.
The Early Amber, Tnrly Orange or
Coleman are TO be preferred. Any OF
these may be sown In drills as soon as
danger of frost Is passed. though
growth will not be rapid until warrn
weather prevails. The middle of March
70 the first OF April Is ordinarily good
time to plant sorghum. However, the
crop may be I6Rtted as late as the first
of August. When sown In drills, with
rows Of three and IA half feet apart II
takes about twelve pounds per acre to
give thick stand. II Is best to plant
the seed thick so the stalks will be
small.
The crop should be well cultivated
until II is about two feet high, II II Is
to be grazed. or as conditions may re
quire, II It is to be soiled. Planted
In early spring. the sorghums VIII ma

After the bird Is thoroughly cleaned,
dip in cold water and allow 1t to re.
main two or three minutes. Leave
feathers ON about half the neck next
to the head and also on the wings
above the first joint. Geese should he

Never hang bird up by the feet or
