Magistrate CurTan

The city is to be congratulated or the
appointment of Henry II. Curran, who had
been serving as temporary magistrate,
for the full term of office. Mr.. Curran's
record as a public servant is long one,
full of honorable achievement. As a
leader in the fusion Board of Aldermen he
was largely responsible for important re-
forms accomplished by that BODY and for
valuable reorganization of the board itself.
Mr.. Curran takes to the magistrates
bench a wide and useful knowledge of the
city and its people and proved energy, in
dustry and ability. Mayor Mitchell has
done well to put him there. His record is
Of the kind which justifies retention and
advancement in Office, not only as recog
milton of merit, but in order that the city
may continue to have the benefit of good
work honestly done.
New-York tribune., 1917-05-05

In regard 20 the Salonca front two oppos-
;r, concentions exist. One is that II IS
front Of secondary Importance, that the ms
sion Of the army under the command OF Gen
croI Sarran is merely to exercise certain
amount Of pressure and to dra" do"" anu
mmoblize as large a number OF enemy
troops-Gcrman. Austrian, Bulgarian anu
Turkish-as possible thus preventing thelr
being used to strengthen other ana more
important fronts. There is, however, no IN
tention that the army Of the Orient shall be
so reinforced as TO be able to take an ener-
gctic offensive and. coute qui coute, cut the
Berlin -Constantinople railway.
The other conception is that the Salonics
front is not one of secondary importance ou'
il, on the contrary, one Of capital inpor-
tancc. the one on which tho maximum results
may be obtained with a minimum OF ehort'
Germany's Food from Asia Minor
The arguments in favor OF the latter view
are easy TO state. IT is notorious that Ger
many is drawing immense food supplies
from Asia Minor. A swarm OF German func-
tionares has been sent down to that country,
the territory has been cut up into districts
like a chessboard, and everything that can
be of use TO Germany in her struggle with
the Allies is being swept together and for
warded TO Berlin. All day and every day
innumerable trains loaded with foodstufs
are rolling northward through Sofia, Nish and
Belgrade Twice every week the train dc
luxe. the famous Balkan lug makes its run
from Berlin TO Constantinope, carrying staff
officers, army contractors and functionaries,
whose business is to organize and superin-
tend the full fighting development Of the
Ottoman Empire. At the same time scores
of trains are rolling southward, bearing mu
nitions and war stores from Germany TO
enable the Turkish people in the field to
oppose the British and Russian armies.
II the army Of the Orient, under General
Sarrail, should push forward TO Nish and cut
the Berlin -Constantnoplc line, results Of in
calculable Importance would follow. First,
Germany would be deprived OF the immense
quantities Of supplies she now receives from
Asia Minor. Turkey and Bulgaria would
cease to receive the supplies of munitions
which enable them to carry on the war. The
result would be the collapse of these powers
This would mean the opening Of the Darda-
neles and the supplying of Russia with the
munitions she so sorely needs. At the same
time the Allies would receive delivery of the
immense Quantities of food5tuffs accumulated
in Southern Russia since the Dardanelles
we're closed. The collapse Of Turkish resist
ance would set free the British armies in
Egypt and Mesopotama and the Russian
army Of the Caucasus for service elsewhere
The elimination of Bulgaria would allow the
4. t...ll 20,
the Danube. Budapest would then be threat
ened from three sides, from the Danube
from Rumania and from the Bukovna. All
these results would be obtained by the army
Of General Sarrail traversing the eighty
miles which separate its present front from
Nish.
One Of the great drawbacks OF the Salonica
expedition was the amount of tonnage it
absorbed and the risks which the transports
New-York tribune., 1917-05-05

always the most sayagcly intolcrant OF
military failures.
1t is for this reason that they demanded
a protective law the like Of which no other
American Administration ever thought Of
demanding. Lincoln lived through the
Civil War in an atmosphere of espionage.
Illicit communications between the North
and South were common. Lincoln had TO
deal with many editors whom he consid-
cred guilty of aiding and abetting the
Southern cause. But he never was tempted
TO urge Congress TO pass law which
would muzzle Z press and take from 1t
its immenrorial privilege Of free political
criticism.
President Wilson has said that he would
never do anything to suppress criticism
of his acts and policies. But what would
his subordinates do? The arrogant and
autocratic spirit which breathed in the
original press gag section sent to Con-
gress by the Attorney General answers
that question.
The newspaper censorship section strick-
en- out in the House yesterday had no
legitimate place in the espionage bill. The
section substituted has the merit of requir-
ing proof that any publication said to be
useful to the enemy really benefited him
in a military sense instead of leaving that
question to be decided by some official re-
sentful of newspaper criticism. Yet in our
judgment it would be better to omit any
form of press censorship-at least for the
present. Any gag system would open the
way to grievous abuses. Its application
would do the country a vastly greater IN
Jury than could be done it, under present
conditions, by any possible transmission of
newspaper information to German head
quarters in Berlin.

The Night Court Still Needed

Mayor Mitchell was wise in vetoing the
bill which would have permitted the abol-
ishment Of the Night Court for Women.
Establishment of that court was the chief
means of breaking up one Of the most
vicious and pernicious forms of graft
that ever afflicted the city-the straw
bond" graft. These preyers on women
and the crooked policemen who helped
them in their evil pursuit have gone. The
police force to-day is fine, clean body.
Nevertheless, there is no use in putting
temptation in the way Of any official, and
assuredly the abolishment of the Night
Court would reopen the way to a restora-
tion of the old bail graft
Chief Magistrate McAdoo has pointed
out that half the cases brought into the
Night Court are adjourned to a subse-
ouent date. 1t would have been easy to
obtain legislation permitting such cases to
be transferred to a court sitting in the
daytime. Such legislation the Mayor says
he would have approved, and it would
have answered all the needs of the situa-
ton. To wipe out the Night Court until
its usefulness is far more concluslvely
shown to be at an end than it has yet been
would be too risky.

crooked dealers and the destruction OF
crooked weights and measures mounts into
the millions of dollars annually. 1t can
not work, and cannot be expected to work,
so effectively, if it is changed into a bu-
reau, its head mere clerk subordinate to
the head Of a department whose IDEAS
aims, policies, gre concerned with some
other problem Of administration. Nothing
can be gained, much can be lost, by inc
change. Though the bill providing for
this unwise step backward has passed the
Legislature, the Governor can still save
the department by vetoing the measure at
once, giving the lawmakers opportunity to
repass it before adjournment with tins
mischievous section cut out. The Depart
ment of Weights and Measures should be
retained as it is if the consumers OF the
state are to have adequate protection
against the meanest of thievery.

Two Years Tale

To the Editor of The Tribune
Sir: "The enormous inroads the worlds
shipping made by German submarines within
the last few weeks have brought to American
government officials full realization of the
disaster that faces the United States and the
Allies if the undersea warfare is not
checked" reads your Associated Press dis
patch from Washington to-day.
While this is true, without doubt. it is
indeed unfortunate that two years ago our
administrative officials were not able to fore
see the inevitable result Of the undersea
warfare to the extent Of beginning prepara-
tions to stem tide that certainly has been
flowing to the satisfaction of "frightfulness" :"
Although our officials acted wisely in not
pursuing combatant policy Immediately fol-
lowing the sinking of the Lusitania, we could
at least have severed diplomatic relations
with the now common enemy and be doing
then what we arc just beginning 70 do now.
II has been this everlasting inconsistency and
procrastinaton in Washington until we were
absolutely backed against the wall that has
aroused the ire of every red-blooded Yankee
And even now our hands are tied in such a
manner that I am not over-optimistic as 20
whether that country. which has a smaller
area than our State of Texas will finally be
suppressed. WILLIAM COBB MILLS.

Facilitating Bookmaking

Under the Boylan bill which has passed
the Senate and is awaiting passage in the
Assembly booimaking of the come-onc-
come-all brand which flourshed before the
Hughes campaign against it would not be
restored, but a tolerably good substitute
for it would be made possible practically.
Until recently the "bookies" have been
doing a credit business, without records,
and have seemed to be within the law as
interpreted by the courts. Their business
has not been so restricted as the circum-
stances of its conduct might indicate,
though no client who did not have some
kind of introduction could place a bet.
Those, however, were easy to obtain. Now
in view of the most recent court interpre-
tation of the law, adverse to them, they
desire to perpetuate this method OF dong
business, and such perpetuation would be
furnished by the Boylan BILL
To convict an individual of bookmaking,
if this bill became law, it would be neces-
sarv to prove that he did business promls-
cuously with all comers, or that he took
money wagered, or both. The system the
LAYERS of odds have worked out obviates
the necessity for taking of money, and
they are sufficiently careful with whom
thew bet so that it would be extremely dlt-
ficult, if not impossible, to prove that their
betting is promiscuous. What they are
endeavoring to do is to maintain their busi-
ness under the guise of "wagers between
gentlemen" 1t would be unfortunate If any
law were enacted to further their design.
The constitution of the state pronounces
firmly against professional bookmaking.
It makes no distinction in favor of the
professional who limits his business owing
to adverse circumstances. Surely the law
should not make easy or wink at that
which the constitution prohibits.
New-York tribune., 1917-05-05
Nothing as Usual

When the war first struck Mr.. Britling
he simply didn't believe it. He couldn't
believe it, for it contradicted badly and
utterly every idea and faith he had ever
known. Then when he did come to con-
cede its existence he for a while sought
to minimize its effect upon his life. 1t
would soon be over. Some things must, Of
course. be different The country must
speed up a little here and appropriate
little there and add certain new contriv
ances to handle new conditions. But the
bulk of British life would go on as usual.
We Americans like to think we are
quicker and more adaptable than the Brit
ish, and perhaps we are Certainly, with
the example of the British before us,
preached to us eloquently by the British
themselves, we ought to avoid some Of their
mistakes. Perhaps we shall. Yet already
it is plain that in measure we are going
through exactly the same psychological
stages as did the British. Any number
of Americans are still obsessed with the
Short War theory. Any number of Amer
leans still feel as did Mr.. Britling that
with a little hustling by few experts and
by few soldiers and by the navy our part
will be filled and everything will come out
all right. Meanwhile, as the British said
at the start, Business as usual"
Fortunately signs there are already that
this easy taking Of the war is passing.
Most Americans, we think, have already
begun to see the truth of what Mr. Brit
ling finally came to feel with his whole
soul-that nothing can be as usual in the
presence Of so great a tragedy, so great
peril to everything that is dear and worth
while in the world visible and invisible.
Mr.. Britling is left at the end by Mr.. Wells
attempting to recast his religion-after his
sons death in France. Not yet has our
nation reached either that tragedy or that
debate. But who cannot see that precisely
as business already is transformed by
the presence Of thousand new compul-
sons and necessities, so our whole life
and in the end our faith, by whatever
name we call it, must presently be stirred
to its depths?

Superhuous Sweets
: Of The Tribune.

To the Editor OF The Tribune.
Sir: | have read with much interest the
arguments appearing in some of our papers
in favor of prohibiting the manufacture Of
liquor during the war in order to conserve
foodstuffs. | believe this would be wise as
regards distilled beverages, where the value
of the grain is entirely extracted. but be-
lieve the manufacture of beer should be con.
tnued, although in reduced quantities.
There is way TO conserve other food
stufs, too. that seems to have had little at
tention. One finds it difficult to purchase
more than few pounds of sugar at one time.
and then at a high cost; yet millions Of
pounds are used each week in the manufact.
ure of candy. Far too much candy is con-
sumed in this country, and believe its man
ufacture for sale should be prohibited. or at
least greatly curtailed, during the war. The
same applies 10 ice cream.
On my train on the Erie in the morning /
see girls eating candy at 8 o'clock. When |
reach the Office the girls there are eating
candy; at noon the candy stores are crowded
and on the way home at night many mouth
is full of candy.
like candy myself, but am willing to for
swear il during the war. READER.

To the American Volunteers in France

From East and from West, from North and
from South.
You answered humanitys call;
O'erspanning the main, impatient to gain
The field where the valorous fall.
Courageous you sped, and though tears you
shed
For your own Eagles fast fettered plight;
You carried his soul to the shining goal,
To challenge the powers Of night
With the brave Maple Leaf and the old Union
Jack,
And under the Lilies of France;
You've we'll done your bit, with true Yankee
grit.
Nor Ainchcd from a hero's grim chance.
With steel and grenade, up, cover the top"
You pushed through the thick leaden rain;
On heavens high breath you tilted with
death,
With the wings Of the swift flashing plane.
Through the valley of User, the Champagne
heights,
On the Marine, and the Somme, and the Aisne;
In the wood of Argonne, at the wall OF
Verdun,
You were there, from the Sea to Lorraine.
And many have fallen, the New Worlds
blood
Has frcshcned the fields Of the Old;
In Freedoms crusade, the holicst cause,
The pages Of history hold.
You honored the banners you fought beside,
Yet longed for your own flag fair;
Though the blood you shed was Old Glory's
red,
And always its stars have been there.
The stars in the blue were shining for you,
Our symbols of purposes high;
As pure as their light is the cause and
right
Where the sons Of Columbia die.
Now those you outran will follow the van,
To liberty's long battle line;
And men shall rejoice as our standards voice
The doom of the false right divine"
a welcoming shout your throats shall ring
out.
As we bring the old Flag DER the sea;
And beneath it we'll fight till we plant i.
Alright
On the field of a worlds victory.
