Not the Same Goal

To the Editor of The Tribune.
Sir: see in the issue Of June 29th that
Representative Rogers, of Massachusetts,, has
introduced into the House resolution pro-
vidng for the opening Of negotiations be-
tween ourselves and the Allies, to the end
that the subjects of these governments may
be drafted into the armies of the United
States Representative Rogers assumes the
readiness of the Allies to cooperate with
this plan because, he says, "the Allies and
ourselves are marching toward the same
goal"
But care we, Mr.. Editor? Is this not a
much mooted point, the solution of which
has been the real motive Of series OF
Allied missions, which for the last few
weeks have been coming TO our shores? To
the same goal as lberalized Russia, /. e., a
general peace based on the democratic prin-
ciples of no annexations, no indemnities and
free development Of all peoples, We prayer
fully hope we may be travelling. But, to
the aims of France where "revanche" is
still the watchword, of an England committed
by its Prime Minister, not four days since,
to war philosophy which declares in
IDENTITIES to be the one guarantee of peace,
American citizens of both French and Eng
lsh descent candidly do not subscribe.
Would it not then be advisable to formu-
late. beyond the hitherto wholly general
statements Of the government, our exact and
practical war aims, before we set about
drafting into our own armies citizens of any
government whose programme in full we may
not be able TO carry out?
If we insist upon the annexation Of their
subjects, may not the Allies, logically. though
inconveniently, insist upon an annexation
Of their policies as we'll?

A Knitter Who Wants Wool

To the Editor of The Tribune.
Sir: Perhaps | am wrong in the following
contention, but would like to put 1t before
you for your opinion.
Another young lady and myself were both
anxious and willing to knit for the soldiers
or sailors whatever we were capable OF knit
ting had heard that if you were willing to
give your time the necessarr wool would be
supplied for the articles. ! called up the
Navy League, on Fifth Avenue, to-day, and
was informed that the cost Of the wool is -
pound, and that one-half pound is sufficient
for one scarf. The Red Cross Office, on Fifth
Avenue, said to inquire at another one OF
their Offices on Fifth Avenue, where she said
she thought could get it for S2l5 or S2.25 a
pound.
II they fear that some persons would not
return the wool or the articles, why not
charge for the wool and then return the
money to them when they bring in the article
or articles which were to have been made
from the wool? think it is perfectly right
and proper that those people of means who
can afford to pay should do so, but do not
think it is fair to require those people who
cannot afford it to pay for the wool, give their
time to knitting and then hand it over to the
different leagues, societies, etc.
am self-supporting, and with the little
that have have endeavored 70 do my bit by
subscribing for Liberty Bond and dropping
little bit here and there in the boxes Of the
many women who were soliciting aims for the
Red Cross during the last few weeks; and |
do not feel that can afford to buy the wool
for the knitting am willing to do for the
soldiers or sailors.
Perhaps, as said before, ] am wrong. II
there are places where can obtain the wool
by paying a small deposit COR even the cost
of the wool | should like to know where they
are. But the three places | 'phoned to-day
did not seem to know of any such places, out
side Of certain groups of women who formed
an auxiliary and then raised funds for such
purposes.
One thing am sure about, and that is If
they had few more practical women instead
of lot of society women at the head Of the
National League for Women's Service, Red
Cross stations, etc, perhaps one could find
out something, instead of being asked to "hold
the wire, please, while I connect you with
Miss Somebody else" etc.

Whitman to the Rescue!

Now that Mr.. Whitman has dashed
madly to the rescue of some one and or
dered District Attorney Swami and Com
missioner Wallstein in loud voice to do
exactly what they were doing, the plain
citizens of the town may be parGoned a
moment of mild surprise. There was no
disposition on the part of any of TIE local
public officers to minimize the grave police
scandal in the Cruger case. They were all
cooperating to the joint end of Furnishing
the guilty and cleaning out the Police De-
partment for the future safety of the city.
So far as anybody here could see, they
were all doing their duty to the limit.
The interesting question, therefore, is the
precise identity Of the party or parties IN
whose cause the Governor hurried down
the river. 1t evidently was not the City of
New York. Could it conceivably have been
a war Governor become lonely for lack of
limelight? Could it conceivably have been
Mr.. Charles f. Murphy, fretting over
mayoralty campaign that was missing on
four cylinders out Of four? Was 1t, IN
short, sheer restlessness or a brotherly
concern for fellow politician wheeling up
a stiff grade? The hoofbeats of Lochinvar
die out in the distance without an echo to
answer "Why?"

Where Food Is Wasted

To the Editor of The Tribune.
Sir: have just cut out a ten-line item in
a town newspaper that ought to have a
spread head" anywhere-that one farmer az
Deacon's Corner, n. j., has already ploughed
under-June, 19l7-two thousand baskets of
peas because the Burlington County rush is
on and there are no pickers. Compel these
foreign hordes who are yelling down patriot
ism in our streets to get out into the country.
! am curious TO know what these $50 differ
ent food organizations are actually doing.
As TO crop saving, what is going on? By q
very simple method | can locate in week
thousands of bushels of food that will 60 to
waste. If it is spinach, it can be purchased
from - cents TO % cents a barrel. Those
peas might have been procured for half the
profits in the field. | could literally give a
coumn-ong list of foods that would be given
to you for half profits if you 60 and get them.
Last fall | was given tons OF grape material
for jelly making There are only two things
for these much heraded $50 food aid societies
to do, instead If looking wise in expensive Of
fees: First, locate wasting crops; second, go
and get them. The police will give you con-
signments of dozen to a hundred of these
anti-American foreigners for crop gathering.

Prohibition After the War
A Demand for a Permanent, Not a
Makeshift. Law

To the Editor Of The Tribune =,
Sir. Beinc an advocate Of temperance,
wish 70 say few things touching upon 'he
nresent tangle in the liquor legislation IN 'he
senate. I certainly am in utter syihPa1ny
u,;tb this section Of the food bill, put WI!
limit the time of its effectiveness 10 VIC
neriod covering the war? II it IS necessary
and nrudent that the use OF liquor De Plo
bibited during the war, it seems 70 me Una. !.
is equally necessary and prudent 70 prohloi'
ts use in times of peace. IL Is fallacIouS ~
believe that legislators will enact such pro-
hibitive law in time of belligerency TO oo'Ai"
.to ,,reatost efficiency from the armed forces
of tho nation. and in time Of peace they VIII
not countenance such law. By passing such
an emergency bill they not lmpheuly pu'
directly admit that nation can De stions'i
and more formidable without alcohoi '"an
with it. Then why, for goodness sane nv,
have prohibition as permanent thlhs' Gnu
maintain nation free from the curse anu
scourge of liquor and ready at any IlHle ioi
any purpose to accomplish things WIN th1
b;ohest degree of efficiency without being
compelled to rush through an emergency
measure with such gross waste OF valuable
time? ,.;
To the argument advanced by the liquor IN
forests and their colleagues in the Legislat-
ure-namely, that prohibition will deprive
the national Treasury of large annual IN.
come-I say that it is without foundation ana
is nothing short of silly. True it Is that our
Government realizes about s350,O0O,OOO year
in revenue from the sale of liquor. But re-
spectfully ask them if that same amount Is
greater sacrifice TO the country than the loss
Of life. brains, health, homes and accomplish
ments of its inhabitants, loss dlrectly re-
sultant from the bondage of liquor. Sueh
loss is utterly impossible and incapable OF
being calculated in monetary terms. Speak
ing. however, of pecuniary loss and gain, the
nation will save a tremendously larger
amount of money when it does not nave 10
maintain refuge places for its inebriates, I'M
beetles, criminals and common derellcts;
when it does not have to maintain sucn
large police force in the cities when 1t does
not have 10 prosecute for such an enormous
amount of crime, the bulk of which Is the
direct result of the liquor traffic, and when 1t
does not have to care for the homes and fam
lilies which have been devastated and ruined
All of this is caused by the use Of liquor.
The one and only argument projected by
the liquor interests is the loss OF revenue
should prohibition be enforced, and trust
that our legislators, or enough Of them, Will
once and for all time put such weak con-
tention into the discard and give this nation
permanent and lasting prohibition law.

Keeping Cool

(Trop, The Philadelphia Ledger
Temper and temperature seem to be closely
related. There is a thermometrc reflex for
every hot argument, and passion scars with
the mercury to blood heat mans idea of
keeping cool is to put on all the thick black
clothes he has--lest the moth should get
them if put away-and employ some special
list with the ice pick to serve him instanter
and constanter. A woman wears thin things
and does not swear, and smilngly endures a
condition that makes the lord of creation
fretful and fussy, like teething baby. In
all these centuries mans feeble wit got as
far toward rational hot weather costumes as
to wear a sash instead of vest; then he
thought he looked silly, lost his nerve and re-
verted to galluses. Women still want TO
know when man the all-wise will wear com
mon sensible clothes on hot days. TIE only
comeback a man has is TO accuse a woman
Of following the fashions Who is such a
hand-tied and foot-bound slave to conven-
t.onal apparel as he is himself?

Why Not Poliomyelitis ?

One Of the more ingenious souls that
appeared in battle array at the last meet
ing of the Board of Estimate to oppose the
Gary system added much to the gayety Of
the occasion by holly charging last years
paralysis epidemic to the Gary schools.
This particular accusation was not taken
UP by the other speakers, and apparently is
not destined to form a regular part of the
high crimes composing the indictment Of
Mr.. Writ and his associates. The notion
seems to be, indeed, that the speaker, in
her excitement, almost queered the game.
We cannot for the life of US understand
this point of view We think, quite to the
contrary, that this particular anti-Gary
enthusiast has hit accidentally upon one
of the few really dependable arguments to
support the case of Tammany vs.. progress
in the schools. The other arguments con-
sist almost wholly of assertions CT facts
which all too quickly turn out not to be
facts at all. The merits of the new schools
the anti-Gary orators almost never at
tempt to discuss. Their chief stock in
trade is an effort to arouse an unreasoning
prejudice against the new idea by tagging
it with the name of Rockefeller or the
Steel Trust-tags which, unfortunately for
these patriots by request, have about as
much application to the New York situa-
ton as to Timbuctoo.
The poliomyelitis charge is very much
more satisfactory. Nobody knows enough
about the disease to contradict any pos
sible assertion with respect to it. If the
Gary idea did not start the epidemic what
in blank did? There is line Of talk which
the anti-Gary orators will find safe, sooth-
ing and convenient. If they repeat it often
enough they may even come to believe it.

Winds of the Morning

A wind blew out from the Old Old World,
Heavy with blood and flame,
And it found in the midst of the open sea
A wind men said had ceased to be,
A wind that Eastward came.
Out of their meeting the thunder spoke,
With surging rain and lightning stroke
Spoke to make men free.
Let fatter who will his dusty soul
With the thought that behind the veil
There is no reckoning to be made,
No Reaper and no fail.
The veil shall be rent from fringe to top
In the iron temple men built to stop
The light from putting to flight the shade;
And in many a mighty land
That which was done in private shame,
And that which was done in an evil name
Openly, Wanting in the shame,
Shall be cast away with fling Of the hand
In a sea of sorrow, a food Of flame,
Away with Those Who Planned.
The wind sweeps out from the Young Youni
World,
THIS wind men said had ceased TO be,
Singing the age-old battle songs,
Right above rights, wrong above wrongs
wild torches fare flags are unfurled)
Eastward over the sea.
The silver chord is loosed, and youth
Stands up-grt in the way of truth,
Stands with the law Of a man.
Imperial fabrics bend and sway,
Turn TO dust and are scattered away
In the strength of the bright-eyed plan
Away in storm of purging fire,
Sky-red and blood-red. mounting higher.
Famed with the pride and fed from the pyr,
OF people who paid the fabulous price
OF the one-eyed Beasts desire.

Our Sanmies

To the Editor of The Tribune.
Sir: There, they've found it! was my first
thought upon glancing at Haywood Broun's
"Sammies" in this mornings paper And
then your editorial. which bears out so de-
lightfully my impression. OF all the high
falutin names so far suggested 1t took the
French TO welcome their "Sammies." And
Sammy" let us hope it will be. II has just
the right friendly, human sound
Apropos Of names, words, etc, | trust you'll

fering with you on "disembark" I'm neither

permit it-but somehow "disembark" has the
same effect upon me as a friend OF mine, who
is always "unravelling" her knitting.

The Careless Pedestrians
To the Editor of The Tribune.

To the Editor of The Tribune.
Sir: The complaint Of Mere Pedestrian
seems TO have hit the popular fancy. Each
added plant however, merely strengthens the
original inference one was bound 70 get from
perusal of the first letter, that bias exists
in a walkers mind. That, however, is nat
ural and should only be made cear-rot crit
:csed. One who always navigates the high
way on foot and has never driven "Jugger-
naut" could scarcely be expected to have ac-
curately assimilated the point Of view Of the
average motor car driver.
The writer has driven cars for some eleven
years. That, of course, subjects me at once
to cry of prejudice. However, all car driv-
ers are frequently pedestrians and must, per-
force, know from experience just what other
people who are never anything but dependent
on foot locomotion are experiencing. And
find that the use Of the streets with safety
requires only wakefulness and judgment. /
can cross our very busiest thoroughfares and
board streetcars amid the greatest conges-
ton without finding occasion to lose my
head, or even remotely threatening 70 collect
on my life insurance policy.
On the other hand, when driving a car am
constantly avoiding accidents only By the
greatest alertness. Pedestrians are careless;
pedestrians do cross the road in the middle
of the block; pedestrians by the dozen walk
about dreaming away as though they were in
some Eysan field; pedestrians usurp every
right of the vehicle on the highway
Lest | appear radical, let me admit having
seen occasional reckless and careless drivers.
However, were Mere Pedestrian" to sign his
rame instead of sobriquet I should be glad
to invite him to ride with me from Spuyten
Duyvil to the Battery, and then judge where
the preponderance of carelessness and gross
negligence lies-wth drivers or with pedes-

A Womans Vigilance Commission

To the Editor of The Tribune.
Sir: | think it will be conceded that the
exposure now being made Of the criminal
incompetency of the New York police or
ganization gives logical weight to my ad-
vocacy of woman's vigilance commission,
or detective department, distinctively I'M
der the supervision of qualified women of
honest purpose and inspired by a woman's
natural intuition. TO be grated into the

1t cannot be disputed that there are
phases Of vicious life in q large city which
men never have been able TO check with
much satisfaction, and never will. Is it not
a Worthwhile experiment to give a commits
sion. such as is suggested an opportunity
to try to do so? HY T. BERRY.
