Unsafe
of The Tribune.

To the Editor of The Tribune.
Sir: attended a meeting or the Collegiate
League for Hillqut, and was much interested
in hearing some Of the socalistic points OF
view in the present campaign. ] missed some
Of the speakers, but arrived in time to hear
Mr. Hillqut take up the different issues.
One of his statements was that the Socialist
party was the only party that stood for de-
mocracy Being in sympathy with many oil
the ideas OF Socialism and the Jetterment OF
the working classes, failed 10 understand
Mr. Hillcuits views of democracy and chal-
lenged his statement. Mr.. Hilquit's sup
Dorters cheered when he made sneerlnc re-
marks about "the Administration al Washing
ton" and of our entrance into the war, which
he claimed WAS only prolonging unnecessary
slaughter and that we should listen to the
peace terms held out by Prussian mlitarism.
And when | asked Mr.. Hillquit If he favored
a German peace, and if ne stood by the Presi-
dent of the United States, he failed to an
swer me.
Is this safe man to hold the reins OF
government of a great city like New York
And is he to have the backing, as the papers
have stated, of such patriotic man as Dud-
ley Field Malone, who made an address at a
patriotic meeting given by the Junior Pa
triots Of America about year ago. in which
he stated that the President of the United
States had the support OF the entire nation
behind him in our declaration against Prus-
sian autocracy?
The United States is in the war for one
great purpose, and she must have the support
of the entire nation. Any one taking an ad-
verse stand against the principles of our
country should be denounced as a traitor,
and told every one at that meeting that they
were traitors 10 their country.

the most substantial champion Of Mr..
Pemberton Billing when that promising
young man was at his noisiest. Admiral
Henderson has always been one of the
severest critics Of the Admiralty in respect
CT the questionable policy that has resulted
in the disuse Of courts-martial. There is
nothing new in his latest utterances on this
head. and perhaps if he keeps on he may
ultimately get hearing. AS to Profess
sor Wilkinson, he has protested frequently
with many others against a system that
does not distinguish sufficiently between
administration and strategy, between bust
ness and the conduct of the war. The only
novelty in his latest letter on the subject
seems to be that the attack is more centred
than usual on the present First Sea Lord.
In time these attacks may tell, but they
seem to have been renewed upon very
inadequate pretext.

A Great War Mayor


What Mr.. Mitche's administration mas
been worth to the city in protection from
war plotters is only half known, and less
than half appreciated. He has been Mayor
since January l. 1914, and Arthur Woods has
been Police Commissioner since April In that
year. Accordingly the control of the city
and of its police has been in vigilant, active
and aggressvely loyal hands ever since the
war broke out in Europe. What was done to
protect and defend it was done CT first nee
essarily without advertisement, and, although
the need of secrecy about most Of it has long
passed, the story of it all is not yet well
known, and probably. in detail, never will
be. But in times when new rumors of the
organization o. Germans 70 do mischefs
came out every morning and were discussed
every night, there was almost complete con-
fdence that all that the Mayor and the
Police Commissioner could do to discover
and forcstall plotters, and provide against
outbreaks and disasters, was being done and
done with vigor and sound judgment
1t has been worth everything to New York
these last four years to have q government
that could be trusted. II has been worth a
vast deal this last year since we have Joined
the Allies TO have a Mayor ft TO represent
the city in receiving populations from be-
yond tho seas, and to express By his words
and actions the patriotism of this metropolis.
From tho start Mr.. Mitchell has done his
utmost TO make this town do its part In tho
great cause to which the country Is now
committed. He has been not less ardent in
national than In civic defence. He has beon
in all ways a credit to US and 70 the coun-
try, and how much that means can be COM
puted by comparing the record OF New York
with that Of Chicago. whose Mayor so gross
ly and impudently misrepresented the city.
As much as Chicago has reason TO get rid of
Thompson, and Philadelphia OF Smith. New
York has reason 70 keep Mitchell IL no Is
beaten i. will amount TO failure Of demo-
cratic government In an important crisis
He cannot be beaten on his record, for his
record Is admirable. but the city may be
hchcd away from good government because
in all the din Of war its vatehmen have been
insttsutivs = IL safety.

An Ideal Administration
A City Employe Testihes Regarding
Mayor Mitchel's Regime
To the Editor OF The Tribune.

To the Editor OF The Tribune.
Sir: Az an old employe Of New York CITY
serving in several capacities nearly quarter
Of q century, think | am qualIhed TO SPEAK
authoritatively Of the conduct OF John Purfoy
Nitchel's administration. During all these
wears never have known, from observation
and experience, the departments OF the CITY
20 be so honestly, faithfully and efficiently
administered as they have been during me
last four years. In fact the city govern
rnent has been Of an ideal character. Us
several Offices have been managed by their
respective heads with the greatest hdehey
and ability. the Health, Police, Fire, Street
Cleaning and others.
II does seem incredible that the citizens OF
this great municipality should now MAKE
change and desire 20 go back to the grating
and iniquitous way OF doing things under
Tammany rule, with which the city in former
times has been cursed.
"Why Hylan?" Yes, why, with his un-
savory record and the certainty OF his beng
a tool of Murphy and McCooey? Or why
Bennett with his limited knowledge Of city
government and apparent inability to prop
erly administer its complex and momentous
affairs? Or. why Hillqut, an enemy OF the
National Adm inistratlon, In tnat ne ~ W.
ter opponent Of it's war poicies,>a repudiator
of Liberty bonds and an advocate OF peace
fraught with dishonor and injustice, and
which would surely bring on, sooner or later
another horrible world conflict? The cleo
ton Of one or the other of these men would
be calamity 10 the city, for it would mean
reputation of Mayor MitchePs splendid
achievements and q woful menace to the
city's best interests and welfare.
A department laborer, q man Of more than
ordinary intelligence, said to me that Mayor
Mitchell had done more for the industrial LIE
OF the city than any of his predecessors had
ever done, and he cited the labor disputes ne
had amicably settled to tho satisfaction of
EMPLOYER and employe. This man spoke OF
the fair wages that he and his fellow WORK
men were getting from the city, and OF the
kindness and courtesy with which they were
treated by the city officials
Nav the 9th of November next witness
triumphant election of the Fusion ticket, to
the credit and glory of Americas greatest
city. EMfLoiI'

Act and Act Quickly

This country has been sitting on a
powder keg and good naturally resenting
any suggestion that 1t could blow up.
We have permitted our enemy aliens to
go and come with little or no hindrance.
II was certain that they would kill Ameri-
cans and destroy American property at
the precise point where killing and de-
struction would most hamper Americans
on the firing line. The Baltimore fire ap-
pears to be another item in their long and
CHASTITY count. They have destroyed shells
and food. They have by just so much
risked the lives and safety Of our men In
France.
The Tribune has, day by day, for weeks,
set forth the nature, the extent, the loca-
ton of this menace. There have been
thirty-two suspicious fires along the Brook
lyn waterfront since our entry into the
war. That is ore item in long catalogue.
Only a nation grotesquely. unsuspicious
and blind to the facts of war could have
ignored the warnings which have come
from every quarter.
The measures which the authorities have
taken would be joke if they did not
threaten a tragedy. The registration of
enemy aliens begun in this city was never
completed. If completed, it would be a
farce to attempt to control our $4,000 resi-
dent Germans by any police measures.
When Mr.. Hoover learned of the grave
threat against our food stores all that the
local Federal authorities could do was to
issue an order prohibiting enemy aliens
from working on or visiting the waterfront
Of our city. Who was to enforce the order,
how enemy aliens were to be identified,
nobody pretends to know. An order issued
20 the U-boats by President Wilson to keep
way from our ships would be just about
as useful and effective.
There is short and simple remedy for
the whole situation. That is to intern all
enemy aliens resident here. The rules OF
war authorize this measure. 1t is just and
light as we'll as obvious necessary COM
non sense. BY sequestrating their prop
sr-v the burden of internment would be
borne by the informed.
The Tribune has already u ged the in
lernment of all German citizeLS IN Amer
lea In view of Mr.. Hoover's revelation of
Dlots threatening our vital food resources,
Of the apparent conspiracy at Baltimore.
The Tribune reiterates its demand. Intern
an enemy aliens. To omit this measure is
lot only TO hazard the lives of Americans
at home and compromise the whole future
o- cur cause but to stab in the back day by
aar our men fighting in the trenches, for
whom shells and more shells are the one
effective defence left in modern warfare.

SIR John Jellicoe's Critics

Il would be a mistake TO regard the
attacks directed by some British critics
against the Board of Admiralty, and par
ticularly against Sir John Jellicoe, as evil
dence Of new quarrel precipitated by
recent events in the Baltic. The German
success has served merely as reasonable
occasion for reviving old criticisms of the
present administration, just as all possible
pretexts are seized by a group Of enthusi-
asss in England to demand the reinstate-
ment Of Lord Fisher.
II was bitter disappointment to some
reformers that Sir John Jellicoe was not
thrown out of Office after Sir Edward
Carson was succeeded by Sir Eric Geddes.
re had not been six months at the Ad-
miralty before they began openly TO find
fault with him as too timid a man for
First Sea Lord. and indeed one of their
chief objections 20 Sir Edward Carson was
that he suffered him gladly. when you
read criticisms OF Sir John Jellicoe," the
First Lord would say, "try TO find out what
IS the origin of them" His meaning was
that the critics were not wholly disinter-
ested; but whether they were or not, they
knew for certainty that there was no
hope Of working the change they wished
for by bringing pressure TO bear on Sir
Edward Carson.
Theoretically II was impossible 20 make
any change at all while Sir Edward Car
son was in power That was the chief
fault they found with him, that he inn
pIicitly accepted as perfect all that came
TO- him. In practice it happened that In
bis time the Admiralty was reorganized
70 a remarkable degree. but the paradox
was easily explained by reference 10 the
powerful opinions Of few critics outside
who were quito convinced that the reforms
y were due entirely 10 their efforts and
\ whose only regret to-day IL that Sir John
Jellicoe has hitherto held his own agains,
them.
These rcformers have been backed more

sGs spencer Wtixinson. who was likewise

Independence. The Tennessee, Hartford,
fourth rate" The only frst-raters were
the old line OF battle ships built about 1920
the Ohio Vermont, New Hampshire (now the
Granite STATED and one other, perhaps the
Lancaster, Brooklyn, Richmond, Trenton and
Pensacola were second raters-usually a.
signed as fagships On the five stations OF
he world The thrd-raters were such as
the Kearsarge, Quinnebaug, Vandaia, Ossl-
pee, Marion, Galena and Nipsic. OF the fourth
rate | recall only the Adams. All these
ships, Of all rates, we're square rugged for
sail and were steam vessels. Most of them
were ship rugged some we're barks, and one,
thinI was a brig. Not blessed one was q
"sloop" in the seaman's sense.
The word "frigate" was we'll conceived at
the beginning, and was distinctive, as much
so as "gaileon," but could never see the
sense of "sloop-of-war' applied to steam
vessel with three masts: il was a foolish
piece of terminology Oliver Hazard Perry
ore of our best seamen and commanders
knew = slocp when he sent his message after
the Lake Erie battle: 1--WE have met the
enemy and they are ours; two ships, two
briggs, a schooner and soop." The sloop
was the Little Belt, vessel of ninety tons
and one mast-a true sloop-of-war. In that
same War Of 1912 there were many little
zone stick" privateers that could run into
the shallow Ravens Of Staten Island and the
Rsritan Bay waters. These also were truly
sloops-of-war.
One is forced to conclude that the naval
writer's or bureaucrats who fastened "sloop-
of-war" on such ships the Hartford. Lam
caster and Kearsarge were deficient in i'm
agination and in - technique of English.

Regarding Mr.. Hillquit
or Of The Tribune.

To the Editor OF The Tribune.
Sir: As Mr.. Morris IIllguit. candidate Of
the "Official Socialists" for Mayor Of New
York, in his comfortable apartment on River
side Drive, slipped his morning coffee (thanks
TO the good fortune he has had since he left
the Russia Of the Gar for democratic Amer
lea, and thanks to tho comfortable dividends
and fees that he draws from such capitslistic
corporations as Burns Brothers), II he Is sim
cere, he must have read with unqualified de-
light the news Of the latest barbarian inva.
sion Of Italy.
For is it not the preaching Of such men
as he that. after the revolution which We all
greeted so enthusiastically, has demoralized
Russia. both from an economic and mill
tary standpoint? And is il not TO this mill
tary decentralization that is due the fact that
the Kaiser was enabled to withdraw his vast
hordes from the Eastern front Of war and
throw them against the armies of Italy, among
whom just such other prof. -pacihst-
Socialists as he have for months been sowing
the seeds of disloyslty and sedition?
In this critical moment Mr.. Hillquit would
seek TO SOW the same seeds Of disloyalty
among our own troops. AS q naturalized
citizen, who myself took tho oath of allie
glance TO the United States, realizing all It's
solemnity, ! ask him how in Gods name he
can reconcile his words and works with the
terms of that samO oath
And how can any other naturalized citizen,
if he understand the meaning Of his oath
and its pledge of loyalty to the United
States, in peace or war, cast his vote for Mr..
HillQuitf
No candidate that is not squarely and
openly with President Wilson supporting the
government deserves q loyal citizens vote In
tho coming election.
