the frankness which perhaps he learned IN
the days when he was one of the many dis
tinguished foreigners who used to visit the
editorial offices of Horace Greeley and
Charles A. Dana. His interest in and at
lection for America have never failed. he
deserves such confidence and such support
as this country can give him. No man whom
the French could select as Prime Minister
has more to his credit in things which
should beget confidence here. A brave
fearless old man, who has fought shams'
hypocrisies, foes without and foes within
over a lifetime that goes back to the Third
Empire; Republican in all that the word
ever meant, Clemenceau may well be at
this time the bulwark Of his country and
the commanding figure in the alliance

A Knitter's Protest
Doubts Are Thrown Upon the
Omni,cience of Mr.. Daniels

To the Editor Of The Tribune.
Sir: Permit US, as members of Red
Cros. auxiliary which has been knitting for
the soldiers and sailors for the past -FOUR
months, to enter our protest against the
sentiments expressed IN the interviews
accredited to Secretaries Baker and Daniels
in this mornings Tribune.
As heads of the departments directing the
vast war machine now being worked into
shape by the government, 1t is presumed that
these gentlemen know whereof they speak,
but it is evident they did not pay visit 70
the troops recently CHARTERED in Van Cort-
landt Park or to the men at the naval
station at Newport, R. l., two instances where
the suffering from cold has been intense and
where the knitted articles provided by the
Red Cross and by personal friends have been
q necessity and not luxury, if boys aecus-
toned to the most ordinary home comforts
are to be successfully acclimated to the
severe conditions under which they will exist
for the next few years.
Neither, evidently. have these two gentle
men seen the appeal sent out through the
channels of the Red Cross by Major Grayson
VI. P. Murphy, Red Cross commissioner Tor
Europe, for 100000 sets of knitted garments
to relieve the suffering which is anticipated
this winter by both the armies and the
civilian populations Of desolated European
countries.
For the sake Of the bows who have gone
and are going over, the women Of our country
have gallantly camouAaged the agony they
have felt at losing their sons and husbands,
end it is hardly compliment to their in
telligence for the Secretary Of the Navy
to charge them with deriving a comfort
comparable to the condition of the ostrich
with its head in the sand by knitting gar
ments which are unnecessary and which the
recipient regards as such excess baggage
that he either sells them to the highest
bidder or unravels them to get the yarn
for some unmentioned purpose. Fortunately,
our personal contact with the boys Of the
army and navy has not left US with this
impression.
There has been considerable discussion on
this knitting proposition, and great part
of the adverse criticism has been charged
to German propaganda. but if the statements
printed in this mornings Tribune may be
taken as authentic, then our girls will be
very glad to cease their efforts on the gray
and khaki and turn their eyes TO the more
delectable pink and blue woods the attrac-
tions of which they have so consistently re-
sisted during the past months.

To the Editor Of The Tribune.
Sir: Hooverism may be good thing in
the abstract. AS q concrete proposition l
fail to see where the humble householder
comes in. The daily papers are full OF this,
that and the other as to Mr.. Hoover's activi-
ties. A million pounds of sugar unearthed
here, thousands OF bags there, and personally
| am unable to obtain a single pound any
where in The Bronx within radius of one
mile Of my residence.
For one week my wife has tried to pro-
cure this very necessary article, but without
success, although she has made every in
ducement in the way of buying other mer-
chandicc, but Of no avail. The grocers sim
ply could not comply with her request, for
the simple reason that they did not have IT,.
Now, what would like to know is, where Is
or wha: becomes of all the food unearthed
recently? Certainly it is not easing the bur-
den OF the family or reducing hiph prices.

Sir Eric Goddess Warning

Sir Eric Geddes does wisely in pointing
out that though the submarines decline is
clearly indicated in "the steady downward
curve since April" yet there is no reason
to conclude that the tonnage problem may
be solved without further effort. The
gravity of the problem was set forth
frankly by him two weeks ago, and he de-
clares now that he sees no reason to quail
fly his conclusions.
81 believe" he said on that occasion,
that the Germans are building subma-
rines faster than they have hitherto been
able to do, and that they have not yet at
tanned their maximum strength. 1t ap-
pears to me, therefore, that in this sub
marine warfare, as elsewhere, it is becom-
ing a test of determination, grit and in
genuity between the two contending
forces"
All the evidence we have encourages the
belief that the defence has been vastly i'm
proved; hence, when the Germans do reach
their maximum (supposing they have not
reached it yeti, it does not follow that
they will be able to do as much damage as
they have done in the past. But even so,
it must not be forgotten that up to two
weeks ago the rate of sinking was decided
w greater than the rate of replacement,
and that it will take long time, under
the most favorable conditions, to make
good the losses already suffered.
The German forecast has, indeed, been
proved vain, but the calls on the shipping
of the world are constantly increasing, and
only by constant determination and energy
can the present needs be met in an ade-
quate way.

SECOND ARTICLE

The most decisive thing in connection with
the French view sketched above lin the
portion Of this critique published in our
issue of yesterday is the recoil from
an unsuitable belief in the power OF
the military weapon; without severance OF
the economic veins of a people the military
defeat of its army is no longer thinksnie;
therefore, the seas blockade and the war OF
the Entente on the neutrals adjacent TO
Mitteleuropa. II is also in the highest degree
noteworthy that the military expectations
which were based on the military aid OF
America do not go particularly far. Inc
chief point of view is: The French govern
mert must take all the requisite measures
in order to keep its own economic strength
and to weaken the economic strength OF the
Germans. Thus will France hold out, limit
itself. in q military sense, to necessities only
AM cherish the hope that Germany and Its
associates, in consequence Of the absolute
blockade, will be much weaker next spring
than now
Since this would be only very slight step
toward the reccnquest of Alsace-Lorraine,
one can rightly say that this article is an
evidence Of the transition status in which
French war opinion pow finds itself. 1t may
also be pointed ont with satisfaction that
also in connection with this solution OF the
strategical problem the hope of moral col
lapse by Germany and her allies is left
altogether out of the question Beyond
doubt, we in Germany exaggerate the danger
that the internal conflict among Germans
over the methods of a peace policy or over
war aims may appear TO be sign Of weak
ness TO the minds of the enemy. 1t might
more easily be that many Frenchman casts
an embarrassed look on his political censor
and on many another requisite of Western
freedom" and envies the German because he
is not ready to accept the same regime.
Round the Corner" and "Over the Top
For some little time past the newspapers in
England have been advocating a more active
solution of the strategic problem. With the
knowledge that superiority in numbers has
not availed to establish strategcal pre-
ponderance and that the effect of the block
ade of the Central Powers has not brought
about their exhaustion, this solution Is pro-
posed: The West front must be broken
through; If that cannot be done by frontal
assault then there are two other possioiii-
ties 1--WE use the expressions OF the Man
chester Guardian"), either "round the cor
ner" or "over the top"
What the first means is not entirely clear.
But one can make a guess when one re-
members the eagerness with which in Eng
land the question of fleet action has been
discussed. The development of the German
general front by way of the northern flank
would mean, if one excludes the possibility
of an English invasion of Holland, nothing
else than the destruction of the German u
boat harbors and supply stations in the North

One Rate for All Taxicabs

Under the amendment to the taxicab
ordinance, which Mayor Mitchell has just
signed, taxicab is to be taxicab wher-
ever it may be found. The various "pri-
vate hacks" which have been operating
from railroad stations, steamship piers and
like places without taximeters, charging
rates in excess of the legal cab hire, must
come down to the rates stipulated in the
ordinance. Whether or not they hold spe-
cial privileges from the transportation
companies whose terminals they use, they
will no longer be permitted to extort spe-
cial rates from the public. They must in
stall taxmeters and place themselves un-
der the supervision Of the Bureau of
Licenses.
Thus one more little piece of cab extor-
ton finds it's end. The history of public
vehicles in this city has been full Of such
incidents from the time the introduction
Of the automobile put the old hanson
cruisers out of business. 1t required the
exposure of a system of tips, bonuses and
passes for apartment house employees, club
end hotel starters and others in advan-
tageous position to swing trade to favored
companies-all Of which the public paid
10 bring about the passage of the ordinance
regulating taxicab rates. This was fought
through all the courts, but the companies
lost their case and had 10 submit TO the
"confscatory rates" Some then tried TO
beat the law by obtaining special privi-
leges on piers and at railroad terminals
where ordinary taxicabs were not admit
ted. Now that has gone, and traveller
who takes taxi from a street stand, a
hotel stand or at railroad station may
know he should pay definite charge pre-
scribed by law, and not rate made in con.
tidcration Of some arrangement between
the cab company and another corporation
delivering passengers 10 be bled.
II ought TO dawn on taxicab executives

The Voice From the Arm Chair

1t is a long, long jump from a comfort
ably padded arm chair in warm WASH
ington office to the deck of destroyer on
soundings somewhere this side Of FINS
terre. That fact probably accounts for the
zest with which Mr.. Daniels takes time
from his larger activities to smile at the
knitters. He smiles good-naturedly, to be
sure. Knitting is good for the knitters, ne
comedies. But for his dear sailors! Why,
if there was thing, any conceivable sort
of covering, that they really needed he'd
clap it on them over night AS it is, they
are fairly smothered beneath the weight OF
clothing which he has pressed upon them.
Unfortunately, it is hard to reconcile
this pretty picture with the letters which
pour in to the Navy League headquarters
Officers and men plead for sweaters-Just
as do the men of the army. They ask for
sweaters not to unravel las Mr.. Daniels
reports-to eat, we wonder?) but to wear,
and to wear because they are cold.
Fortunately, the knitters will go on with
their knitting despite any eloquence that
Mr.. Daniels can muster. That is one ad-
vantage of having the ruler Of the Ameri-
can Navee trained for his job in the same
general fashion as was Sir Joseph Porter,
K. C. B. Mr.. Danielss opinions on sweat
ers and the North Sea will be implicitly
accepted by his sisters and his cousins and
his aunts.

Waste
To the Editor of The Tribune.


Sir: II the communication in your issue of
this morning, November Is, from a staff cor
respondent, headed "Knit On, Daniels Tells
Women, but Its Not Really Necessary"
gives correct impression of facts, it is UNI
fortunate that it could not have been made
public before.
The thousands of hours devoted BY women
to the waste of millions of pounds Of prec-
ious wool might have been prevented and
their time and energies devoted to helpful
patriotic service or, II that is not needed
from them, to other activities.
1t is, of course, most desirable that the
men who are giving their loyal service to
their country in any direction should be
comfortably and adequately clothed, but not
bothered with unnecessary impedimenta, and
| cannot believe that women generally need
TO perform an unnecessary service which,
with the general shortage of wool, proves to
have been a mischief for the psychological"
effect upon themselves. The statement that
at is really very good for the women who
do the knitting" might indicate that the
humanitarian impulses Of the Secretary 10
whom it is ascribed are not limited to the
great and important Department of the
United States Navy.
1t is, to say the least, unfortunate that
Secretaries Daniels and Baker, through some
of the many commissions, societies and COM
mittees that have their approval and conf
dence, cannot coordinate the activities and
power of this army OF unnecessary knitters.
