Uniustihable Reticence

Berlin continues to send us cheerful
scraps of news about the progress OF the
submarine war, but though they serve well
enough to fill up the gaps between the ofil-
cial weekly confessions of the victims, they
are too fragmentary to be really enlghten-
ING. They have the peculiar merit OF pro-
viding us with rough information concern
inc the whereabouts of the sinkings,
point upon which the British Admiralty S
REPORTS are designedly vague; yet there IS
one circumstance that must have surprised
and disappointed all good Germans
the singular reticence still maintained
with regard to the damage done IN the
English Channel.
It is believed that in the past the COM
manders of submarines used often dehoer-
ately TO refrain from sinking hospltal
ships. but it was only just before the open
ing of the unrestricted campaign that the
German people learned of the outrageous
commission bestowed on munition ships. II
Is hardly believable, but the Battle OF the
Somme was a direct consequence of the
tender conscience Oh OellAAi
Here are the facts as they were set 1orth
in the "Frankfurter Zeitung":
Hundreds and thousands Of transports,
6lled with shells and with English soldiers,
crossed the Channel to prepare the Battle
Of the Somme and 70 feed 1t with ever new
supplies Of men and machines Our subma-
rines were lying in wait, but every time
their commanders had to turn away, gnash-
their teeth. because it was not possible to
decide absolutely whether the transport had
few neutral passengers on board Tor
its security.
II was bad enough in the early days of
the war, when we were RECALLED with the
story Of a submarine commander who could
have sunk heaven only knows how many
battleships, but would not because ne had
been ordered out only TO inspect and re-
port; but to learn that hundreds and thou
sands Of transports have been spared mere
ly because there might possibly have been
neutrals on board is really so vexatious
that the German government ought surely
to make amends now by publishing COM
plete list Of all the ships sunk since Febru-
airy in the English Channel. 1t is cruel
TO keep whole nation crashing its teeth.

4 War Museum in New York

To the Editor Of The Tribune.
Sir: I notice a very interesting reprint IN
your paper Of yesterday on the subject OF
war museum. 1t may be interesting to your
readers TO know that a museum of the great
war is also being accumulated in New York
City as a department of the Museum of
French Art of the French institute IN the
United States. Several exhibitions have al
ready been held of war posters and other
material relating to the great conflict as 1t
comes into the museum
Cartoons, maps and documents are being
collected and one Of the most interesting
documents is one recently received OF Guyne-
mer the French air pilot and fighter with
piece Of the German airplane which he
recently brought down.
The index Of the Leblanc collection IN
Paris. which is referred to in The Tribune,
will be found at the museum, and the execu-
tive committee are glad to receive gifts OF
everything relating to the great war.
4 library Of the war itself is being as
sembled and numismatic collections referring
TO the war charities are at the disposal of
those who are interested in such topics, as
well as masses of photographs taken at the
front.
Publications Of the War Ministry in France
are regularly received and the Museum Of
French Art has offered TO house and provide
quarters for French government exhibit
composed OF such articles as may be selected
from those which were on view at the Allied
Bazaar last spring if the French government
desires. EMILE I. JOEN.
Executive Secretary, Museum of French Art,

Borough Autonomy" for Brooklyn

All that has been needed for many
months TO stir up Brooklyn's ire has been
to mention GENERALIZATION" of administra-
tive powers or consolidation Of any of the
city's Offices and bureaus. That borough
took the lead in fighting and defeating the
proposal of the Commissioner Of Accounts
10 combine certain county Offices and func
tons, even though an excellent prospect of
saving much money for the taxpayers was
shown therein. Now Senator Cullen, rep
resenting a sentiment across the Bridge
for absolute borough autonomy" has pre-
sented at Albany bill amending the city
charter 20 require almost every city de-
partment 10 maintain in Brooklyn branch
Office in charge Of deputy with power 20
handle all department matters within
the borough.
What such a course would cost the city
probably no one knows, not even the intro
Queer Of the bill, astute legislator and poll
tician though he is. Moreover, if this leg
islation should become law and its policy
90 into effect, there is no logical reason
why it should not be applied all along the
line. Brooklyn is surely no more entitled
10 "absolute borough autonomy" than The
Bronx and Queens and Richmond The
complete carrying out Of this policy as
Senator Cullen presents IL would produce
tax levy 10 stagger the Imagination, not
70 mention an administrative puzzle which
would drive oficialdom frantic, with diff
fering local standards Of law enforcement
and differing local solutions Of identical
problems. And just how it would benefit

What the First Telegram Said

tFrom The Popular Science Wonthiyl
Contrary to general belief, "What hath
God wrought" was not the first message 20
be sent by telegraph, nor was Morse the
sender Of the first communication. Instead,
il was sent by one Of the committee who
were debating upon the proposal Of Morse,
the inventor 20 string n telegraph line
from Baltimore TO Washington. Mr.. Morse,
who wanted 10 end the discussion and at
the same time demonstrate his invention,
strung a wire from the committee room 20
the top Of the Capitol. One Of the commit
tee, who was opposed to President Tyler,
wrote, tyler deserves to be hanged" This
was received by the man at the other end
exactly as it was composed

another column. The law does not apply
to individual cookery. 1t is the family
which is the unit out of which tenement
house achieves its rank under the law. 1t
takes three housekeeping families to make
tenement; and family cooking is the
prime test of housekeeping. So the law Is
less than nothing to the village, where
families are shy about being seen under
one roof, to say nothing Of eating or cook
ing there. what is tenement" may
often be a knotty problem, but it Is never
one-thousandth part as complex and deli
cate as the unending puzzle What is a

Scrapping Missourii's Guard

From The 81 LOiS itffhOittI
Just what is the State Of Missouri going 10
do concerning the maintenance OF the Ma
tional Guard? More particularly, what is
Governor Gardner going TO do in the matter
Of approving the necessary appropriations
for its existence?
The situation in brief is this Under the
terms of the army reorganization act Of June
3, 1916. Missouri will be required to have
National Guard contingent of at least $500
officers and enlisted men by July !, 1918. II
Missouri fails, Federal aid in maintaining the
Missouri Guard will be withdrawn and the
state left without recognized military forces.
Under the terms Of this act Missouri must
have 500 men by July of this year.
Adiutant General Donnelly is asking for
an appropriation of S265,00O for the biennial
ueriod. During the last two years the Mis-
souri, Guard had an appropriation Of $4,000.
II managed TO maintain an organization
through this period mainly because Of the
fact that il was called into Federal service
and maintained from early summer until fall
by the Federal government. In order TO exist
and meet the requirements Of the War De
rartment it must have at least double the
appropriation it had for the 1857 period.
There is no money wasted in maintaining
the Missouri Guard It's per capita cost IS the
lowest of any state in the Union. Where
Massachusetts spends slO45l annually on
each citizen soldier Missouri spends but
1920. New York spends s6016, Illinois
SG7.5O, Kansas S36.23. Iowa S4S.50 and Ind
lana 1871. 1t costs the United States,
roughly. 900 per man per year in the regu-
lar army, but Missouri's Gusrdsmen must
get along on S14.2O.

Sir: The votes were corralled by shouting
"He kept us out Of war;" and "He averted the
