Needless Alarm

To the Editor of The Tribune.
Sir: Your correspondent whose letter IN
der the heading IAN Inquiry Into the Merits
of. the Liberty Motor is published IN your
issue Of November II appears to merit his
self-appointed title as much by his point Of
view as by his experience in the submission
of an invention.
Even granted that your correspondents
premises with regard to the design Of the
Liberty motor are based upon accurate nfor-
nation, he has overlooked the real place which
this motor may occupy in the general strategy
of our Air Board, and the writer believes II
well TO reassure some of your readers who
may be alarmed unduly by his fears for the
safety of our aviators.
May we not guess that it is the policy OF
cur government TO undertake as our part OF
the air service the constructor, first OF all, OF
the training engines required by the Allies as
we'll as ourselves, and, second. the constrUe-
tion of a great quantity of the very large en-
gines which are required for bombing ma
chimes and massed attack?
OF the first there can be no question, and
Of the second it is obvious that TO construct
several thousands of large engines must
start somewhere and must standardize on
something if Se are to achieve anything Ike
tie numbers which are so important.
We have started. We are well under way.
The numbers will be produced. We need have
TO fear Of the quality or of the etfectiyenes
All this is apart from the highly specialized
machines for extremely high speed, one-maa
lighting and scouting duty.
Ia is quite true that changes IN design OF
this particular class of machines are so fire.
quent that it is impossible for us TO keep
pace with them in this country. But the
number Of such machines required appears
to be comparatively small compared with tne
reed for training and giant bombing ma
chimes, and We may safely leave it to Eng
land, France and Italy, relieved of the neees-
sity Of underta king the great bulk OF inc
manufacturing, to concentrate their efforts on
the perfection of machines in this specialized
class. This we know they arc doing ana
with telling effect.
Considered from this point OF view, inc
alarm of your correspondent is not ony
needless, but calculated 10 do conslderSO''
harm if allowed to remain undispelled.

Strafe Everything Germanl

To the Editor Of The Tribune.
Sir: In the matter Of German music It
seems pertinent to ask what it has done for
the German people in all these years IN
which it has been their intimate inspiration.
The German nation, at the summit of its
mighty development, stands before the world
to-day the embodiment of fendish cruelty,
merciess slaughter and british destruction
of economic wealth-the arch enemy Of the
worlds finest civilization.
Psychological safety for the world lies
only in the complete adherence Of every
German thing-thought, art science, culture,
language. There has not been In any of IT
all a single redeeming influence to restrain
the German people from becoming the &C
cursed nation. At the moment they are
actually proud of their unspeakable degra-
dation. They must be taught by the bitter
scorn Of the world for the very name or
German to cast out for themselves every jot
and title of that which has made them what
they are. Until they do this there can be
no real repentance, and without repentance
they are doomed TO perish from among the
nations. RICHARD FERRIS.

Stop Cleaning Gloves
tor of The Tribune.

To the Editor of The Tribune
Sir: OF late | have read a number of edi-
torials on the subject of gasolene waste and
| note that there is campaign well under
way which has as its slogan, Don't Waste
manufacturers and the motor trade generally
are cooperating in the work with the United
States Bureau of Mines and the Council of
National Defence at Washington. The off
cals of the Bureau of Mines declare that
there will be ample gasolene for the war if
there is an elimination Of waste. I under
stand that the greatest waste comes from
leaky or poorly adjusted carburetors, motors
running idle and other careless uses Of the
fuel in garages
I would like to make a suggestion which
at first might seem trivial, but which, / think,
If universally observed, would be a great
help in this campaign.
Why not stop wearing white gloves or
gloves that require cleaning with gasolene
and help save more of this very necessary
fuel for government consumption? If you
think only of the gloves worn by an indi-
vdual or family, the amount Of gasolene
used seems absurd, but If a nation wide cam
raign were started, so that all persons would
pledge themselves TO refrain from wearing
white gloves, | feel sure that quantities Of
the fuel would accumulate quickly. | sup
pose some Of our typical society women viii
be Mortified at this suggestion, but if they
will take few minutes to think it over |
hope they will change their minds. II they
will only stop to consider that the gasolene
saved from something that is really nothing
but mere vanity could be used in our armored
motor cars, and especially in our ambulances.
| think they will realize very quickly what
small sacrifice this would mean.
This appeal naturally will be principally
TO the women. Come, now, my suffragette sis
tiers, let's add another item to the list of
things we have given up with willing hearts
70 our wonderful boys, who are giving up
their all for our protection!

Bulgaria's Hymn Of Hate
Reasons for Believing 1t an Accurate
Reflection Of National Feeling

To the Editor of The Tribune.
Sir: | have read with interest in the press
Of November 10 an excerpt from the Bull
garian Hymn of Hate" which reveals to the
world the real mind Of the Bulgar people
Quite futile 1t is for the Bulgarian Minis
ter in Washington to dismiss this damning
revelation of the Bulgar mind by saying that
the author of the Bulgarian Hymn of Hate"
is an unknown scrivener and that his hymn
is an obscure utterance, for Of all Bulgarian
authors Ivan Arnaudof is one of the most
widely read and best qualified to express the
spirit of Bulgaria.
In fact, for the very reason that Mr..
Arnaudof is a leader of Bulgarian thought
he enjoys his high position as a member Of
the Bulgarian Board of Education.
Ivan Arnaudoff is the mentor of his people
the Kipling Of Bulgaria-and we'll has he
caught the spirit of his race in the demonia-
cal words of the Bulgarian Hymn of Hate:
LET not one stone rest on another. Let
rot one child rejoice, not one old man lean
on his grandsons shoulder. Throw their
skulls to the starving dogs. Let there re-
main on the ruins your hand has sown only
skeletons and ghosts"
Germany Is good student ana glorlnes
her teachers; that is why Bulgaria is 80 high
in Germany's alliance, for Bulgaria is Ger
many's teacher-the teacher of frightfulness
that even transcends in ferocty Kultur it.

Verdun, where it could have been won by
him as it cannot be won at the Piave or
the Adigc.
If these attacks of nerves" including
this last and most excruciating affiiction'
only serve to make us work better, tght
better, win more promptly, it is probably
worth while. In any event it will not be
understood by those who come hereafter.
They will find it hard to explain how,
given all our advantages, we should ever
have despaired of victory. They will think
that with all the lessons of history before
our eyes, with all the advantages of just
cause and a superior artillery, of an hon
orable purpose and an excess of numbers,
of better case and infinitely greater
cash balances, we showed small sense and
less courage in giving way to doubts;
that is, if they reflect upon these things,
which is wholly unlikely.
What is more probable is that they will
recognize the fact that we won the war
because we could not help winning it, and
spend their time marvelling that the Ger
mans could ever have expected any other
outcome. AS for us, shall we some day
laugh at our nerves and feel not little
ashamed of our apprehensions? Probably
not, because for those who live through a
war, both during and after the struggle,
the circumstances are too narrowing to
admit of rational thinking. British
nurses, for aught we know, are still
threatening their charges with Buona-
parte, and Hindenburg may be raising

Unowned Islands
From The Westminster Gosette)


Sptzbergen, which, as we were reminded
in the House last night, Is one Of the few
parts of the globe over which no nation
claims effective rights, is really not one ISL
and, but an archipelago OF five islands, and
the actual right Of discovery belongs to the
Dutch who set foot there in 1896. though the
mariners Of James | made a more effective
landing. One Of the difficulties in taking
possession lies in the fact that there is prae-
tically no regular and permanent population.
though the islands are well known By Rus
sian and Norwegian hunters OF walruses dur
ing few weeks of the year. Beyond that it
is dreary and inhospitsble land, and we
ssrtsinly should not hnd II worth while to
risk discussion By taking possession.

certain mental processes in his foes mind,
although he never can understand any of
the other processes in that mind, will
probably turn some of these fits of de-
preston to temporary advantage. Yet it
may well be that in the end these passing
moods of ours will tempt him to his final
ruin, to a greater ruin than he might
otherwise earn, since belief in our collapse

there is nothing to save.

SPRAY TREES WITH
LIME AND SULPHUR
NOT TOO LATE YET TO KILL
SCAB IN ORCHARDS
AROUND HERE.
BY Il. F. Perry, State Horticultural
Inspector.

There has been little inquiry as
to the best remedy for scab of apple
and pear. The writer recognizes the
fact that growing apples and pears
commercially is not the rule but the
exception in this district. Yet 1t has
been demonstrated that certain To-
calities will grow fine apples. pears,
and cherries; hence, this short note
which may perhaps be helpful to
some who may wish to make the at
tempt to grow clean fruit.
1t looks now that fruit properly put
up, canned or dried, will be in good
demand and of good price the comirg
season, as well as all other agricul-
tural products. The small orchard Of
apples, pears, and cherries may be
made an important asset to every
farm.
Pays to Keep Trees Clean.
1t will always pay to keep the trees
clean and there will be real salts
faction in doing so. To derive the
most benefits q lime and sulphur So
luton should be applied early in the
spring, when the trees are absolutely
dormant. There can be no accumula-
ton of moses. lichens, and the diff
fercnt varieties of scales If there is
this treatment once a year when the
trees are dormant.
1t is of course too late this year
for that first application. In most
localities it is too late for the first
application which should be used,
especially for scab, but probably in
most localities there could be an ap-
plication of lime and sulphur solu-
ton, one gallon of the concentrate to
80 gallons of water, applied as soon
as the petals Of the apple and pear
begin to fall; then again when the
fruit is well set. These two applica-
tons will help very materially in
keeping the fruit free from scab.
Bear in mind the formula: One
gallon of concentrated lime and sui
phur to 80 gallons Of water.
Should Have Small Spray.
1t would seem that every farmer
would be doing a good thing for him
self and the community to secure a
small spray pump with barrel hold
ing about so gallons. This outfit is
not very expensive and with its use
the small orchard and berry patch
may be kept clean at small cost. Roses
and all ornamental shrubbery. cellars,
poultry houses, COW barns, and horse
barns may also be easily disinfected.
This lime and sulphur solution is
a cheap material and the results from
it's use have been so thoroughly DEM
onstrated even here in Western
Washington that there can be no
doubt about the use Of it's being a

The work Of the last legislature be-
came effective Thursday when the
bills that had been held in allegiance
for 80 days subject to referendum
and to permit the people to become
acquainted with their provisions took
effect.
Most of the laws have a minor

pertain to local and minor matters,
but a number have a statewide and
important bearing in the life OF resi-

The Most Important.
Perhaps the law affecting directly
the greatest number of people is that
abolishing second choice votes in
primary elections. but others are more
important, such as the "bone-dry''
amendment to the prohibition law,
which has been held up, however, by
the referendum petitions filed this
week.
Then there came into force the
teachers retirement fund law; the
automobile licensing law, increasing
the license fees on motor vehicles, and
otherwise affecting the disposition of
fines and funds; the law requiring all
vehicles to carry lights at night; the
