The Price the Prophet Paid
CFrom The Boston TrdnsoripD

Il often happens in a democracy that those
who stone the prophet afterward accept his
prophecy. If history repeats itself IN the
case of Major General Leonard Wood the
nation will be the beneficiary and his personal
sacrifice will not have been made in vain.
Every American who is not "too proud TO
fight" or writhes at the contemplation Of
peace without victory" or sickens at the
sound of any Of the other Mandy -pamby
phrases with which the public palate has
been tickled in the last three years owes 1t
TO his country, in the language of the liturgy,
to "read, mark. learn and nwardly digest"
the truth about the army. 1t is capsuled in
the prophetic testimony that Major General
Wood gave before subcommittee OF the
Committee or Military Affairs of the United
States Senate several weeks ago when he
appeared as a witness in answer 10 its sum-
mons and in response to its orders told the
truth, the whole truth and nothing but the
truth. Had he cared more about retaining
his military command than about doing his
full duty by the nation he would have side
stepped the questions of the committee
CLOSED over the facts they demanded and
hidden behind those half truths which fall
glibly from the tongue of the place-hunter
and arc music TO the ear of the professional
politician.
To be the ranking military commander of
the American army as it enters the great war
is almost as high an honor as any American
soldier could receive. 1t is not so high, how
ever, as the honor which Major General
Wood takes with him into military exile, the
honor of having served the government and
the people of the United States at the price
OF the Presidents favor and at the resultant
cost Of his military command. The tragic
recital Of the truth about the army will ap-
peal especially to the fathers and mothers
who are sending forth their sons as de-
Tenders Of the flag. Many boy among them
will suffer because the warnings of Wood and
the fearless few who have followed in his
footsteps for the last three years have until
to-day fallen upon deaf cars

Venomous "Guests"

The Name German
1t Will Be Anathema, Succeeding
Vandal, Hun and Prussian
To tho Editor of The Tribune.

To the Editor OF Inc Tribune.
Sir: I wish to voice q protest against the
continuance Of an almost universal practce'
That whenever it becomes necessary 70 de-
scribe some particularly detestaole piece OIL
work on the part of the Germans 1t is spoken
Of as having been done by "Prussians'
"Huns" or "vandals." The fact seems to be
lost sight of that this work is defended, sup
rorted. excused and justified almost uni
versally by Germans in Germany and, up TO
this moment, By Germans in the United
States. The best interests of truth and civil
zation will be served by cessation of these
attempts to separate the German from his
acts.
venture to predict that the name Ger
man" will be, within comparatively short
time anathema in all civilization, from which
Germany is now and will remain self-eS-
cluded. and also, that within a still shorter
time it will be hard TO find a self-acknowl-
edged German in the United States. The
German male will Anglicize his name, and
the female of German extraction will even
more than in the past seek mate OF an
other origin.
What name TO conjure with, what pict-
ures succeed each other as the word Ger
man" falls upon the ear or We see it before
us: Churches and cathedrals bombarded, hos
pital and relief ships torpedoed, neutral ships
of friendly nation treacherously sunk un-
armed non-combatants strung up against
wall and shot, women and children muir
dered, men dragged into slavery, girls car
ried off and violated, wells poisoned and even
starving people robbed of relief supplies
charitaby donated. Nothing too henous and
nothing too small-that is German.
A fact that wants to be clearly recognized
is that official Germany with the Kaiser at
its head is the spiritual embodiment of the
German nation, is simply the mouthpiece of
all Germans, and that the mouthpiece is the
exponent of an idea that is more unitedly
supported by Germans than is the support
accorded their government by the people Of
any one of the opposing nations, and that
idea is: There are no rights but German
rights, and German expedency transcends
ell law. ROBT. c. WRIGHT.

an inspection of these vessels, even as
measure of police or military precautlon'
This policy carries the theory Of "cour-
tcsy" beyond the verge of absurdity. The
testimony given in the Federal court shows
that the German ships tied up at Hoboken
have been used for a couple of years as
bomb factories. The bombs fabricated
there were TO be placed in merchant ships
leaving this port. The German liners, pro-
tected from police intrusion by the exag-
gerated polteness of our government, were
therefore turned into privileged centres OF
criminal activity. Our guests" abused
American hospitality by assisting in
conspiracy to break the laws. They be-
came participants in criminal attempts
against other vessels and crews enjoying
our hospitality and protection.
They have forfeited all claims to our
consideration. We know that no return
courtesy in the way of scrupulous regard
for law can be expected of them. These
vessels are menace in our ports. They
are centres of open and fragrant hostility.
No time should be lost in Selling them as
a matter of military prudence. For any
delay in selling them we may pay very
dearly later on.

Save st. Johns Chapel

Again it appears that historic st. John S
Chapel, in Varick Street, is in danger of de-
struction. Two years ago Mr.. McAneny,
representing the city authorities, and the
late Colonel Jay, representing the Trinity
Corporation, came to an agreement by
which the church was to maintain St
Johns until July 1, 1916, the city making
such changes in its subway construction
and street widening work as might be nee
essary to preserve the old structure, which
encroaches far beyond the curb line. Trim
ity refused to go further, on the ground
that the chapel was useless for church pur-
poses. The hope of those who urged the
two years Of grace for this Revolutionary
landmark was that some of the historic
societies would be able, in that time, to ar
range for its preservation.
Nothing of the sort seems to have been
done, and the chief engineer of the Board
of Els .imate, in report to that body, de-
clares that little interest appears to have
been manifested in the preservation of the
building" That is unfortunate. This city
is not so rich in relics of the early period
of its history that it can afford to lose this
one, fine INTELLECTUALLY and intimately
connected with events and personages of
the early life of New York.
1t is not yet too late to save it, even
though the city authorities are asked TO
consider plans which will result in its re-
moval or the removal of that portion of
it which encroaches on the street, which
means its certain destruction. 1t is ear
nestly to be hoped that in the short time
remaining before the city must act some
plan can be found to preserve st. Johns
for future generations.

Seize the Ships

To the Editor of The Tribune.
Sir: Your editorial entitled "Seze the
Ships" must reflect the opinion of the ma
jority of thinking people, especially those Of
New York and New Jersey. You say that
one single bit Of intelligent action is worth
thousand conferences and ten thousand
newspaper declarations of activity. Precisely
so, but what can we do about il? There
have been rumors of the departure Of men
from these vessels which are receiving our
hospitality in Hoboken and other places II
is said that the manufacture of bombs has
been going on openly upon some Of them.
| agree with you that the United States
government should seize the German ships at
once, for our own protection as well as for
the safety of those to whom we have ac-
corded friendly refuge. You can write, we
can hold meetings, people can boil with in
dgnation at the lack of action on the part
of our government, but everything goes on
just the same. Is there no way this condi-
tion can be changed?
