An insufficient Guard

To the Editor OF The Tribune.
Sir: The article in this mornings Tribune
headed British Censor Is Only Barrier to
Spies in the United States" induces me to
offer this evidence of the loose way in which
military affairs are conducted in this country
have a son who is transport quartermas-
ter, and while his ship was loading at an
American port | had occasion to go on board.
The gate of the pier was guarded by soldiers,
but it was apparent that any man in uniform
could pass without hindrance. 1t was pointed
out to me that spy could easily purchase a
uniform, pass the gate, roam about the pier
or ship at will and do anything he wished or
gain any information he desired.
No wonder the Germans have advance re-
ports of everything being done here. Perhaps
they might have in any case, but surely it
might be made more difficult for them to OBJ
tain the information. s. F. W.

British Socialists
They Are Doing Their Duty as
Heroically as Anybody

To the Editor of The Tribune.
Sir: | have Just seen The Tribune of june
IS and have read with much interest Mr.
Diapers article on the labor situation IL
Europe, and how heat, high prices and So
ciaists are keeping the pot a-boiling in that
racked and riven cradle of civilization. As a
British Socialist may be permitted to enter
mild protest?
In these days it has become fashionable to
Law the blame for the upsetting of almost
every applicant at the door of the Socialists
From Spain to Russia Mr.. Draper finds evil
dence of the cloven hoof | submit, sir, that
this is lust rather much of a muchness.'
The term Socialist" is being altogether
too loosely applied at the present time, and
the general way in which Mr.. Draper makes
use of the word is quite misleading. Efforts
of this kind are beginning to create IN the
mind Of the man in the street kind OF May
idea that Socialist is a person completely
incapable of loving his native land or OF dong
ANYTHING to help her in her hour of danger.
And this is most unfair.
The great bulk of British Socialists have
done and are doing their duty in the present
crisis quite as heroically as any other body
or marty. I would like to ask Mr.. Draper II
he could point to anything more robustly pa
triotic than the writings OF Mr.. Robert
Rlatchford. both before and since the out
break of war. And Mr.. Blatchford is the IN
tellectual leader of the Socialist movement IN
Britain-Mr. Shaws dctum that Robert
r,ust take his orders from me" notwlthstand-
do nnf
any authority or represent any considerable
section Such influence az Macdonald may
have had at one time has long since passed
away. and you will rarely find voice raised
on his behalf nowadays.
As for that disciple of everything that IS
weak kneed and fabby, Mr.. A. &. Gardner, II
is apparent that the trend of events has lett
this forlorn parsonage so high and dry on the
beach of antiauated ideas that he has indeed
become (to use the words of Juniuf) IAN
object of derision 10 his enemies and OF
melancholy pity TO his friends am glad
that Mr.. Draper refers TO him specifically as
belonging to the genus Liberal Pacifst.'
And let no one confuse such people with So
calism or the cause. For many years we
have recognized Mr.. Gardner as one of our
worst enemies.
And to think that Lord Northclife and Mr.
Frank Simonds should have found their way
into Mr.. Gardeners "infamy column" in "The
London Daily News! Well, we'll, These
be sad times. OF Lord Northcliffe little need
be said. We fear he is incorrigible. But
that Mr. Frank Simonds should go a-ventur-
ing on a course of libel and impudence" is
indeed deplorable. BRITISH SOCIALIST.

Re-, the Aliens Into the Ranks!

II, as Secretary Lansing seems TO think,
the drafting Of aliens who have taken out
first papers Of citizenship might produce
complications with foreign governments,
the resolution presented by Representative
Rogers, Of Massachusetts, calling On the
State Department 10 take up this question
with the Allied governments, points the
way out Of the difficulty. 1t is only by a
peculiar set Of circumstances that these
men are in position to escape military ser
vice. II they had become citizens here,
New-York tribune. [volume] (New York [N.Y.]) 1866-1924, 1917-06-30

they would be liable to the draft. II they
had remained in the countries OF their
nativity, they would be liable to draft
there. There seems to be complete lack
of logic in permitting practical exemp-
ton for them because they have begun the
abandonment of their foreign citizenship
but, by the accident of time, have rot July
acquired American citizenship.
Many aliens resident here have gone
back to their native lands and have entered
the military service. Those of military
age who have not done so would be wei
coined in the ranks of France, Great Brit
ain, Italy and Russia. They belong there
or in the ranks of the United States
army. Since they arc here and not subject
to the operation of the draft in Europe, all
obstacles to their being made subject to
the draft of the United States government
should be removed. There ought to be no
particular difficulty in reaching an under
standing with the governments OF the
Allied countries over this anomalous sit
uation.

Starving Out Tammany

Though Mayor Mitchell has not yet eX-
messed his WILLINGNESS to accept renomi-
nation. the newly formed City Democracy
has selected hirr as its candidate Tor
Mavor and has instructed its executive
committee t. lake the necessary steps to
Mace his name on the ballot. 1t is highly
interesting that this first formal move OF
the campaign shoI,G De made by group
Of Denc rats willing to fight their party
organi alton here in support or the
MAYORS non-partisan administration. They
have the intelligence to recognize that 1t is
only by backing administration of this
character that they can starve Iammany
and rehablitate the party, from which
thew do not desire to cut loose ON state
and national issues.
Their description of Tammany is unfiat-
tering but accurate. "Tammany Hall,
thev declare. has not only repeatedly for
feited any claim to public confidence by a
record of incompetency, waste and plunder'
but it has so prosttuted the machinery
and perverted the purpose Of the party or
ganization = personal ends that 1t has
fallen out of touch with the Intelligent
rro, md honest thought of Democrats
all over This city," 1t is an indictment
similar in tenor to that recently made by
the Honorable "Packy" McCabe, OF AL
banv. who should know Tammany Hall and
the Murphy clique even better than do the
gentlemen Of the City Democracy. More
widely differing points of view or po-
ltical problem than that of Murphys
former upstate lieutenant and that of these
local Democrats could not be obtained.
When the conclusions agree, the Demo-
cratic voter may well give heed to them.
There have been various pronunciamen-
tos from within the Democratic party IN
recent years that Murphy Must Co." But
in most cases when the issue came the
men who seemed intent on ousting Murphy
from control were cajoled or coerced into
accepting his candidate for some important
Office and voting him into it. The City
Democracy is started right in its fight on
Murpl.y ait, MS works. The way to de-
feat him-a long process, but : sure one
is to keep him separated from the com
missary department I'd his followers o.
the public payroll.

Buckwheat

To the Editor of The Tribune.
Sir: Il is strange that in all Of this talk
in The Tribune about food and the things to
raise nothing has been said about buckwheat.
Buckwheat is and has been the mainstay
almost OF some people through the winter
It makes excellent -four. used principally
for gridde cakes. But there is no doubt
that it can be used in other ways. The grain
is also an excellent feed for poultry and

A fine thing about il also is the case with
which it can be grown In large sections Of
the country.

work on 1t is wasted so far, because it is
too late TO plant anything now bus buck
wheat. and the party doesn't know anything
about that probably. Why not tell him that
it could be planted with buckwheat any time
before August and get a good crop Of value
as feed for man or cattle?

The Demand for Knit Socks

To the Editor of The Tribune.
Sir: Straight from London comes a mes
sage of comfort to the bewildered kntters
who desire to spend their time to the best
advantage for the comfort and service Of
"our boys" in the army. From W. London,
England: Thank you so much for the war
socks; you cannot think how they are appre-
ciated. | can assure you hand-knt socks are
far and away preferable TO the machine
made ones; they wear better, they wash bet
ter and are more comfortable so please do
not be persuaded by any of your friends 70
give up making them. I sent the ones you
made to a soldier just going into the
trenches and he was most grateful for them
and liked them immensely. The machine
and factory made socks get awfully hard and
shrink great deal, which you can under
stand makes it very uncomfortable for the
mems feet"
From the Canadian (Toronto) Red Cross
Society comes also this message: with re-
gard to machire-made and hand-knit socks
can only say that the demand for socks is
so enormous that there is good use ior every
single pair, handmade, machine-made or fac
tory-knit, that we can get. There are thou
sands of men who would rather get a pair Of
hand-knit socks than any other kind you
could send | think it is partly sentiment,
but sentiment plays very large part in war
fare, especially in keeping up the morale of
the troops, and the man who gets pair of
hand-knit socks feels that some woman has
been putting her heart into the work for
him.
you will, Of course, know the necessity CT
seeing there are no ridges or knots, which
might cause blisters and ultimate blood poi

The Marching Song of Democracy

Our Mr.. Percy Granger, formerly Aus
tralia's own. has a gleat many interesting
points besides his shock of Paderewskl HAIR,
now sacrificed to service in the band of the
Coast Artillery stationed at Fort Totten.
His "Marctny Song of Democracy" for
instance ONE time in the future Mr.
Grange nay write our national 'Tippe-
rarv" In this earlier work, for mixed
chorus. orchestra and organ, he was trying
for something shade more ambitious mu-
sicallv. however simple it Was in certain
respects.
His original plan was to write a march
ing song for voices and whistlers only, and
have it performed by chorus of men,
women and children Singing and whistling
to the rhythmic accompaniment OF their
tramping feet as they marched along IN
the open air" This idea he abandoned IN
order to gain instrumental color. But he
refused to be led astray by the call of elab-
crate poetical thought. AS can be seen from
the following stanza from the vocal score,
not even Algernon Charles Swinburne In
his most alliterative moments ever paid
more attention to sound and less to sense:
Tum tai pun pa ii ra da tira da,
Tum tai pun pun pa t-ra da ti-ra dl;
Ia da Ia ra ra rs ram pa pun pun pa.
The whole Marching Song runs just
So If this seems a tough morsel to chew,
Mr.. Granger at least has a very clear
theory with which to support his text. he
chose nonsense syllables, first, because its
"freely-moving many voicedness is the nat
ural musical counterpart of ind.vlduallstic
democratic tendencies" and, second be-
cause he did not wish to pin the music
down to definite thoughts but aimed at i'm
mersing it in general central emotional
mood"
The reader who scents Whitman in all
this guesses Alright. "In loving alteration
of Walt Whitman" is the dedication, and
the Leaves of Grass" furnish PEACEFUL
Of preliminary sentiments to give emo
tional background" The "buoyant on
march of optimistic humanitarian democ-
racy" is Mr. Gralngers own language Tor
the theme Of the Marching Song Such
quotations as these from Walt Whitman
express the idea even better:
For those whom laws, theories, conventions
can never master.
The beauty Of all adventurous and daring
persons.
Lads ahold Of hre-enginos and hook and ladder
ropes no less 20 me than the gods Of
the antique wars.
I, too, am not bit tanned | too, am I'M
translatable,
sound my barbaric yawp over the roofs Of
the world.
The pretty souls will not like Mr.. Grain
gers yawping any better than they liked
