An Admirable Decision

There cannot be too high praise for the
women opposed to suffrage, who have dis
banded their state organization and set
resolutely to work to play their new part
as American voters. The Tribune was
confident that this would be the decision of
such good Americans and able citizens. 1t
is glad to record their patriotic and large
minded resolve.
The work for loyal American women lies
plain before them. There is an hysterical
handful of suffragists, lacking both vision
and patriotism, which is making much
commotion by picketing the White House.
There is larger element of foreign-born
women, especially in such city as New
York, which, equally with the men of the
same class, cannot be relied upon for loyal
endeavor. Against these two types of dis
loyalty stand the multitude of women, suf-
fragist and anti suffragist, Americans
first, last and all the time.
1t is no time for recrimination or re-
gret. Whatever divergence Of views there
has been in the past, the duty of New York
women is now clear. "Let women quit
fighting each other and all get together to
fight the war;" has been suggested as the
slogan of the women formerly organized
against suffrage. That is sound doctrine.
Fortunately, the native-born women of
this city considerably outnumber the for
eign-born women. 1t is in their power, by
accepting their responsibility promptly and
intelligently, to weaken the sway of dis
loyalty very considerably. Such move as
that of the anti-suffragists is of the great
est Importance in achieving this result.
They are to be congratulated upon their
demonstration of very rare ability-that
of being good losers. May a number of
male anti-suffragists, our neighbor "The
Times" in particular, learn wisdom by
their example,

Keep Them All in Service"

To the Editor of The Tribune.
Sir: May add postscript to the excel
lently sensible editorial this morning in
which you urge that the officers who are
to be commissioned at Plattsburg and other
training camps be kept in service? My sug-
geation is that all these devoted and ener-
getc young men, for whom there are no
places ready in the army, shall be employed
by the government in a systematic and
countrywide fashion in giving military in
struction and drill to young men (and men
not very young, for that matter), after
business hours, on Sundays and other free
time, in order to prepare them for the future
drafts, which unquestionably will be neces-
sary, and also to fit them for emergencies
Such a plan would, | venture to claim
have double merit The first is that which
| have already mentioned. the saving of time
in the great work Of military preparedness
The second would be the maintenance of the
military spirit and the continuity of mill
tary training Of the young officers them
selves. To dump them back into civil life
just as they are fit for military work, and
when the necessity for the military work
is suddenly and violently enhanced by re-
cent events in Italy and Russia, would be,
as you point out, frightful blunder.

fame and honor. The dispatches announc-
ing his death record the news that he was
Just on the verge of election TO the Acad-
envy. France, which had erected so many
Of his statues in her galleries and public
squares, which had given him palace for
a studio and designated it the Musee Rodin,
to enshrine in perpetuity the collections OF
antiquities and of his own works which ne
had already decided to the government
France, with her Enthusiastically liberal
gesture, was at the end giving her official
seal TO his genius. He would have worn
il quite naturally. He never had the acrid,
solitary temperament of Degas. Sooner or
later the Academy opens its doors TO the
least amenable of the nations sons. Is
not the beloved Anatole France amongst
the Immortals, he who, despite his satura-
ton in tradition, is the wittiest and most
persistent of all the foes Of philistinism
and the rule Of thumb? Rodin, formerly
of the "outs," was destined inevitably to
dwell amongst the Ems" For he had made
his art national possession.
It's influence worked for i'll as we'll az
for good, but that is another story, on
which we do not need at this moment to
dwell. The reflection Immediately pro-
voked by the tidings of his death is that
a great craftsman has passed, a sculptor
whose exceptionally prolific career gave
many beautiful works to the world and
left a definite stamp upon the plastic art
Of an epoch. More than any of his con-
temporaries he helped to revive the cult
for truly eloquent modelling and to make
it the vehicle of poignant impressions of
human life. His best epitaph lies in a
phrase Of his own-La Beaut6, c'est le
carGctere ct PeTpression.

Why Assail German Artp
To the Editor Of The Tribune.

To the Editor Of The Tribune.
Sir: The people Of our land are deeply
stirred and their patriotism has acquired
a heretofore unknown impetuosity from war
conditions. But is there not a possibility
that too much emphasis may be placed upor
certain phases of our love for the United
States? | mean to refer particularly to art.
In the Metropolitan Opera House German
productions have been banned in their origi-
nal tongue, several of the leading artists
have been asked to sever their connection
with the company. In many other instances
Americans have shown themselves intolerant
of the most masterful artistic efforts on the
part Of cur foes, the Austro- Germans
Is not this feeling primitive and wholly
uncalled for? We hope all citizens Of the
United States are as patriotic as po,7ible.
and We have received evidence of their
patriotism in their glorious response to the
two Liberty loans. Why, then, should we
condemn them TO listen in some cases 20 in
ferior musical art or no art at all merely az
another and additional evidence of their
loyalty? Do We not condemn the iconocasts
who tore down the beautiful images in the
churches Of the Middle Ages merely because
to them they appeared idolatrous? But are
we not doing the identical same thing our
selves!
Should Germany destroy Venice, the intel.
lectual world will never forgive her WHY
should we, In a like manner, assail German
art, N.D.L.

Industrial Unrest and Beer

"The Spectator" joins willingly in the
small chorus demanding the resignation of
Mr.. Lloyd George. That is only natural,
for, indeed, according to the conditions laid
down by "The Spectator" when he first
formed his ministry, he ought to have re-
signed at least month ago. 1t was then
that the Cabinet granted an extension of
the increased barrelage of beer, a conces-
sion which had originally been made on
the express understanding that it would
apply only to the summer months.
Now, "The Spectator" made up It's mind
long time ago that no man could be Pre-
mier who failed to deal drastically with
the beer problem. The summer wabble
was bad enough, but that the government
should actually have seen fit to counte-
nance a further increase in the autumn
was unforgivable and could not possibly
be winked at by the protagonist Of the
down glasses" agitation.
Yet in this matter the Premier was per-
picked by difficulties which are easily per-
ceived. Practical politicians cannot al
ways avoid the opposition of "The Spec
tator" and its friends without arousing OPP
position of a more telling kind, and in this
case downright prohibition was not so SIM
pie as it seemed TO be.
It is true that "The Spectator" was sup
ported by DR.. Clifford and some other In
fiuential clergymen, who insisted that 1t
was not fair to the workingman to provide
him with beer at this rate But their pro-
test met with no response from those they
undertook to protect. Thus, Mr.. Ben Til
lett, the aggressive secretary of the Dock,
Wharf, Riverside and General Workers
Union, promptly repudiated their we'll
meant solicitude, saying:
May assure DR.. Clifford and his con-
freres that the working class have shown
during the war their loyalty and their
soberness, and il is an insult TO their in
telieence and social standing that n num-
Der Of aged and obsessed gentlemen should
undertake 70 preach at them? We want to
get on with the war, ard social habits OF
the people, the working class in general
compare more than favorably with DR.. Cliff
ford's class, or the class so anxious to act
with petty Prussanism toward the workers
He added that the men were sufficiently

lmall beer and big prices and resented

their liberty Considering, then, the pres
ent industrial unrest, il is not very hard to
understand why the government is disin-
clined for the moment TO interfere more
than is evidently necessary with the work
ingman's habits.

that they "can never go lower than this
exhibition"
There is something sordid in this sort
Of censure. What, after all, happened on
the occasion so bitterly lamented? Ac-
cording to the reports published in Ireland
our sailors on shore leave were pursued by
few hundred of the natives to the cry OF
up the Huns!" A Cork reporter says the
men were attacked with paving stones
but. though it is admitted that some stones
were thrown and that few of the men
who foolishly got separated from their
fellows were more or less mauled, we are
not told that any one was killed or even
seriously injured.
COMPARING the small results of this
trivial encounter with what happened dur
ing the Sim Fem rising of last year, when
murders were committed without the
slightest scruple, what right have we 70
complain? Our sailors were in uniform,
they were avowedly the enemies OF Sim
F6in's gallant allies" of Central Europe,
and were properly entitled to no more
consideration than the unarmed policeman
who was shot dead at the gate of Dublin
Castle a year and half ago. Are we to
make no sacrifice at all to promote the
cause of the heroes and martyrs OF that
glorious occasion?
The fact is that the complaints OF the
Corkonians are entirely selfish. Our
sailors are no longer allowed TO go ashore
because of the hostile sentiments of the
people. and the result is that the local
shopkeepers are losing money at the rate,
IS it is estimated, of $500 week. They
ought surely to be willing to sacrifice that
small sum for the sake Of securing the
sympathy of their gallant allies. 1t is all
thew can do for the German cause, and 1t
is on the success of the German cause that
Sim Fein counts. One of the Cork papers
points out that our men, whom the Sim
Feiners hunted "as if they were wild
beasts" through the streets Of the city, are
helping at present Ito keep them from
starvation" by guarding the seas, but the
very fact that Sim Fem was so self-sacri-
fcing and disinterested will doubtless be
remembered by Germany after the war
and perhaps by us, too, when these same
gallant patriots think it expedient to come
whining to US with their hats in their
hands.

Women May Beat Tammany

To the Editor of The Tribune.
Sir: Mrs. William P. Earle, whose state
ment you published in to-day's paper, hits
the nail on the head. 1t has been customary
in the past to blame the woman vote when
things went wrong in elections in suffrage
states.
If we women of New York City start now
and work consistently. we may be able TO
beat 1ammany at the next election, and
thereby show critics of suffrage that the
woman vote is no less intelligent than the
man vote and that il may even be more in
