Comforts Work Will Go On
To the Editor of The Tribune.

To the Editor of The Tribune.
Sir: The New York headquarters of the
Comforts Committee Of the Navy League
have decided to continue their activities ex-
actly as they have been doing for the past
five months.
The Secretary of the Navy has distinctly
said that donation sent to battleships by
an individual would not be refused. AS no
individual can know where the ships or
what they need, the Comforts Committee
will continue as heretofore to collect these
knitted articles and will send them to the
ships as donations through Mrs. Herbert L.
Satterlee.
The New York headquarters have sent
II 1888 articles to ships since Secretary
Danielss order which have been accepted and
acknowledged
We hope our knitters will continue their
much needed work and send in their COM
pleted articles as rapidly as possible before
cold weather comes.

Chairman Comforts Committee Of the Navy
League of the United States.

alone, but the prospect of improvement
which comes naturally with experience
or complete change in the personnel and
policy of the city Administrations turn
ing of the city departments and the pub
lie treasury over to that appetite for plum
der which is Tammany.
No sane business man would hand a
smooth-running, economically admins
tered business over to gang Of wreckers
whose record was one Of failure in admin
istration, save as they succeeded in better
ing their own fortunes. 1t is unthinkable
that the voters of New York City, having
it within their power to retain the Fusion
nominees at the head Of their business es-
Establishment, will discharge them and
transfer the jobs and the money to Tam
many, starved by years of exclusion from
power.

The Hesitating Skirt

That grand jury of Frederick County,
Nd, undoubtedly meant well in find
| ing an indictment, or a presentment or
whatever it is that grand jury can find
| in such case, against women's fashions.
But its eloquence will not lengthen many
skirts. 1t will undoubtedly for a while
render local wearers and observers shade
more conscious of the latest item in war
economy. 1t will be entirely forgotten by
the time fashion swings back to flowing
lines and the skirts that inched so slowly
upward flop back to their ancient generous
limit.
1t might seem as if the whole male sex
ought to have become by this time ac-
customed to the existence in women of
what once were known as lower limbs. In
an era of cross-saddle riding and barefoot
dancing, to say nothing of overalls and
Dr. Mary Walker, surprise like this in
Maryland is not easy to understand. Con-
vention dies hard, however. The ingen-
ous technique of modesty wherein con-
cealment accentuates by limiting has been
operative too many centuries to be lightly
ignored. A grand jury, bulwark Of all our
hopes and fears, naturally resents any es-
sential modification of so historic an in
stitution as the skirt.
How far that essential modification is
likely to go is, of course, secret with the
dressmakers. Rumor now has the skirt
hesitating in midair, undetermined whether
to advance or retreat. Paris talks of
longer, narrower skirts. Yet shorter ones
are evidently invading Maryland, and they
are to be seen in our own subway. If
beauty is to be consulted, the shorter skirt
is a very doubtful matter, personal equa-
tons wholly aside. 1t Is the contention of
the artists that there is no point between
the ankle and the knee at which skirt
can be artistically cut. The Scotch kiltie
is graceful, and so is the flowing drapery
of the winged Victory. The in-between
length conforms to nothing anatomical and
can only be stiff and unnatural. Is it to
be kilt or skirt? We agree with the grand
jury. of Frederick County to the extent
of thinking that the skirt will very soon
have to make up its mind.

The other Allied powers will not stand in
our way. They would be glad to see the
United States conscript absentees from
their jurisdiction whom they have SO far
not been able to reach.
The House bill, as amended, does not
recognize the anomalous condition OF
Austro-Hungarian, Bulgarian and Turk
ish subjects. Possibly that condition can
not be recognized by Congress. But the
new version clearly excludes German sub
iects from our military population, and it
restores to that population, at least tenta'
lively, for CONSUMPTION purposes all the
other aliens who were counted by the War
Department in apportionng the draft
quotas. There are 1,275,000 aliens now
enrolled. More than 100000 Of them are
subjects of the Central Powers. OF the re-
naming $4,000, possibly half may not
claim exemption, or, having claimed it, Sc
cure it. Thus a blunder in the first draft
will be partly repaired. Then it will be
time to readjust the state quotas, giving the
states whose citizen population was over
taxed in the first apportionment the
benefit of that overtaxation.

OPERAS Expensive Stars

To the Editor Of The Tribune.
Sir: With George Chittenden Turner

grand opera at hand, Is it Impairment TO ask
how long SO opera would stand up under
the expense Of the present regime! IL Mr..
Turner had a more intimate knowledge OF
fact. and finances behind the gold curtain
of our Metropolitan, his plan might pear
some fruit, but as 1t Is he unjustly terms
the wonderful artists there as "extrava-
eantly advertised stars" and like lots OF
well-meaning agitators. fails to look fully
into the matter before rushing to aid count

our humble opinion those estimable gentle
men would tell him that the class he 30
noblv champions would rather pay for the
privilege Of hanging over the rails to yell
their low at Caruso or some other deserving
artist than 90 to a self-supporting organi-

To the Editor of The Tribune.
Sir: Following is the tribute of Bishop
Doane to his dog, requested by one of your
correspondents in yesterdays Tribune:
am quite sure he thinks that am God
Since He is God on whom each one depends
For life, and all things that His bounty
sends
My dear old dog, most constant Of all friends
Not too quick to mind but quicker far than
To Him whom God know and own; his eye
Deep brown and liquid, watches for my nod
He is more patient underneath the rod
Than !, when God His wise corrections sends.
He looks love at me, deep as words e'er
spake;
And from me never crumb nor sup will take
But he wags thanks with his most vocal tail.
And when some crashing noise wakes all his
fear,
He Is constant and quiet if am near,
Secure that my protection will prevail.
So, faithful, mindful, thankful, trustful, he
Tells me what unto my God should be.

To the Editor Of The Tribune
Sir: Mr.. KrehbiePs plain and manly words
in regard to the continual presence on the
Metropolitan stage Of "alien enemies de-
serve to be most heartily Endorsed by all
those who, like myself, consider it simply an
outrage that we should be obliged to listen to
these in solent and intriguing foreigners. True,
Nine. Gadski and Herr Goritz, two Of the
worst offenders, have been dropped.
The Kaiser, we hear, has offered reward
for the body of the first American soldier
brought in, dead or alive" II alive, may
God help him, for the brutality and fendish
cruelty which will most certainly be inflicted
on him may be imagined from what we know
now of our devilish enemy. In your columns
are the details Of the deliberate murder Of
our sailors of the Belgian Prince-"spurlos
versenkt" And while our sons, brothers and
husbands have gone across the ocean to face
these unspeakable brutes, their countrymen
and countrywomen are to be still further hon.
ored, applauded and richly paid In our ma
tional opera house.
Verify, it is too much.
