The glad occasion. Both were given
axe and things, and afterward they
happily pranced off TO the upper part

Coal, Heat and Rent
r Of The Tribune.

To the Editor of The Tribune.
Sir: 1t would be wise for US all to be pa
tent during this coal scarcity, and not only
patient but careful. Turn off the heat from
all rooms that are not being used and put out
all lights that are not actually essential. We
could greatly reduce the amount of coal need
ed for light and heat if we but would keep
this in mind. AZ the same time it is the duty
Of the landlord to help.
To refuse to pay any rent because OF a
failure to get all the heat one thinks due,
when the landlord is doing his best, would
scarcely be just, but il would be reasonable
and lawful, too, for tenant 70 refuse 20 pay
full rent for All apartment which is but par
TALLY heated, or heated not at all. The re-
duction in the rent which the tenant should
insist upon should be somewhat more than
the cost of the coal, so that Il would be to the
interest of the landlord to buy coal rather
than suffer greater loss in rent. Landlords
generally will see the justice OF this; those
who do not can be taught. Tho law never re-

I agree with you, Mr.. Editor. Don't let's
discuss the German peace terms. But let US
take from them the inspiration they offer.
Let us get over the period of fault finding as
soon as we can and learn its lessons we'll.
Let us make guns and ships and ammunition.
Let us grow crops and take care of them. Let
us bend TO our task and strain at it. Let US

And let us shoot Bullets into the bodies of

German Peace Terms
How We Can Gain Inspiration and
Help From Them

To the Editor of The Tribune.
Sir: I agree with you-as who could fail to
do with any just conception OF what this war
is about that there is no use wasting time
discussing German "peace terms" now. The
reason is not merely that they are anonymous
ard preposterous nor merely that we have so
much yet to do TO get ourselves ready Tor
next summer, and, maybe, for the winter and
the summer after that. II is because the
German Emperor is still engaged with his
militaristic soothsayers, and the prophet has
not vet been called in who can tell him that
"Mene, Meme, Tekel, Upharsin" means "God
hath numbered thy kingdom, and finished it;
thou art weighed in the balance, and found
wanting"
But over against the candlestick upon the
plaster of the wall the King sees the hand
writing And I welcome these German feel
ers because they show that he sees 1t and
that his thoughts are troubled. Then, too,
the reception they have got is good thing.
1t proves that the Ikrman propaganda has
gone it's Intellectual limit in this country,
England and France. IL proves that the pur-
pose of these nations has become definite and
steadfast And every time these German feel
crs aHe put out and every time they are met
with the same cold douche they bring the
day nearer-not their day, not "der tag not
the day when all mankind is bent before a
German despot-they bring the day nearer
when tho miiitaristc spirit, wherever 1t
hives, will feel its impotency, viii see that
our world has reached that stage Of its de-
velopment where the forces that have been
arrayed for oppression can never subdue the
forces that will be arrayed to check them.
At first we thought that Wilson's messages
and Lloyd Georges speeches were not being
read in Germany. But the comment upon
them Of the German newspapers shows that
they are, and that their sense is not being
much misconstrued, either. Ii was with q
gasp Of what seemed like sincere amazement
that the German press first took notice OF the
Allied demand that the privileged military
rulers ot Germany must go, give way TO a
government established in the public viii
freely ascertained But with that demand
iterated and reiterated by Wilson, by Lloyd
George, by Clemenceau, IL $ not gaspng
so much now. Slowly, sullenlY, it is taking in
the fact that that demand is the sine qua non
Of peace. And every time the Germans put
out peace feeler, and every time, frost-bit-
ten, they are compelled to pull il in, their
comprehension of what they have brought on
themselves grows measurablY clearer
Il is a tremendous thing, a glorious thing,
worth all it is costing, that now yYe know and
every nation knows, and notice is given to
every Caesar present and yet TO be born that
swiftly, completely, the American people are
ever ready to be modified in the defence Of
human liberty. Easy-going, peace loving,

Appealing to the German Conscience

There are amiable people who believe TO
this day that an appeal to the compassion
Of the German nation would do a world of
good. If it failed actually to shorten the
war it must, they are convinced, at least
mitigate the horrors Of it to remarkable
degree; for the plain people would never
allow their soldiers and sailors to be cruel
and would be highly indignant if only they
knew of the sufferngs caused to inOffen-
sive non-combatants by the thoughtless-
ness of submarine commanders.
An instance in point is the sinking Of
the Apapa. It is admitted that the ship
was doomed the moment the first torpedo
struck her. She was sinking steadily on
an even keel, and the women and other
passengers had been lowered away in q
lifeboat, when the German ruffian let &c
another torpedo, the result being that all
the passengers but one were killed. Muir
ders of this kind are now so common that
only in the most general terms was il
thought necessary TO refer 20 the incident
in the official report. "The Manchester
Guardian" thinks the government strange
" remiss on this account, believing, ap-
parently, that the German people might be
moved by daily or weekly Statement OF
the circumstances under which the lives
of non-combatants are lost with ships sunk
by submarine"
1t still clings TO the fond belief that the
German people are capable Of compassion
and that constant exposure of what the
government is doing" would help ''to gain
ground among the people and against the
government" why" it asks pleadingly
should we spare the German people the
knowledge that the crimes of which Ger
many is guilty are being faithfully set on
record?" The answer is, of course, not

India's s Part in the War
(Fro,n The Toronto Glob-]

(Froin The Toronto Globe
The visit 70 the great Eastern dependency
of Mr.. Montagu, the Secretary of State for
India, has revived interest in the political
unrest which has developed in that country
as ore of the by-producis OF the European
war. What India has done in this war must
form an important factor when the question
Of political reform comes up for review.
Despite the subtle Vaccinations Of Ger
many, India as a whole has proved her 10y
atty in this conflict. II was one of the hopes
of Berlin that Britain would be hampered in
the great struggle by an insurrection in
India. After three years Of war India has
stood the test. Not only has she been free
from serious uprisings, but she has done
magnificent service 20 the empire. At th.
beginning Of the war the army in India was
comprised of $4,000 British and 15S,000
native troops. From this comparatively
small army India has succeeded in building
up successive expeditionary forces that are
doing splendid service in various fields Of
war. The entry Of Turkey into the war was
serious strain upon the loyalty Of the Ma
hometan race. but the sixty millions of that
faith remained firm in their allegiance 20 the
British Emperor. Among the tasks intrusted
10 native Indian troops were the defence of
their own country and the advance in Gal
lipoli, when the Gurkhas fought their way
side by side with British troops TO within
sight of the Hellespont. In France, in the
early stages OF the campaign, Indian troops
took part in the series of battles that culmi-
mated in the three days fight at Neuve Cha
pelle. Later these forces were transferred TO
Mesopotamia, where they have won dstinc-
tion and honor in the very heavy fighting
which has taken place in that region.
As a gransry Of the empire and source
OF supplies for the British armies India has
played notable part Since the outbreak
Of war she has sent Britain wheat to the
value OF s55,ooQ,ooo.

The Foreign-Language Press

To the Editor of The Tribune.
Sir: The German-language newspaper con-
tinues to do evil work, and more effective
way than has yet been tried is needed to
sterilize its poison. Permit me to suggest a
method of turning all such publications to
good use while deprving them OF the power
to do injury. Let them be required TO alter
nate each column of all German reading
matter contained, stories, news and edi-
torials, with column of accurate English
translation, so that in reading their German
papers those desiring TO learn the American
language could do so by easily comparing
the original with the translation, and that
the spirit of the German-American press
would be open to all Americans desiring to
investigate it.
A provision Of this kind should be made a
permanent instead Of temporary war meas
ure. 1t would be powerful agency for
Americanizing aliens, whereas the system
that prevailed until recently tended strongly
20 prevent Amerieanization and TO build up
a separate people. constituting Germany in
our midst. The plan would gradually remove
the reasons for continuing Teuton press
in this country, and would cause that un-
fortunate growth to disappear, as il
should do.
in lesser degree these arguments apply
TO all alien-langusge publications, and the
law of parallel column transations should
apply to all of them. This could be done in
perfectly friendly spirit, inspired by the
principle tha. hereafter every possible meas
ure for Americanizing all varieties Of aliens
must be taken to save the nation from re-
eurrenee Of the highly dangerous condition
in which the present war found il.
