Distress From Coal Famine Fright
full, the Vorwaerts of That City
Divulges
INHABITANTS In DESPAIR
OVER PRESENT WAR
While PopuIace Suffers, Public
Services Are Hit Almost as
Acutely, Report Says

An Extraordinary picture of the coal
crisis in Berlin is given in long ar
, ticle in the Vorwaerts. 1t may be &C
copied that the description applies to
the whole country.
AS regards the supply for the civil
ian population the article says the
whole business is simply chaos and
that the resultant misery in the city,
and especially in the poorer quarters,
is beyond words. 1t says:
Crowds of people have to wait out
side the coal merchants Offices often
six or seven hours. They have to wait
in the winters cold, rain, snow and
mud, and then in a large majority Of
cases they go away empty handed, wet
through and frozen, to their cold
homes.
Cold, Hungry and Filthy
"Countless bitter and despairing let
ters to us tell Of people who for weeks
and months have been totally unable
to obtain heat for cooking and wash
ing. They have been forced to go
cold, hungry and filthy"
Berlin municipal enterprises are in
almost equally bad position. The Ber-
lin gas and electricity works and the
city overhead and underground rail-
ways are so scantily furnished with
coal that they Give from hand to
mouth"
A slight interference with the pres
ent slender supplies such as any frosty
day may bring, must, the newspaper
adds, compel partial, if not total, stop
page, and the catastrophe result OF
such a happening in a gigantic organ
ization such as Berlin can easily be
imagined.'
Authorities Do Nothing
What are the authorities doing, the
Vorwaerts asks, and it answers in one
word Nothing" They are letting
things drift, the newspaper declares,

meant Britain and British. Their en-
deavors seem to have met with some sue
cess, for in the last two years Engiishmen
have undoubtedly got out of the hapit OF
referring to everything they like in Great
Britain and ireland, as well as the Do

This is indeed no new quarrel Almost
two hundred years ago some non-EngiiSh
subject of the King-probably Dick steele
found the same fault with English
writer's and stood strongly for the deslgna-
ton British" as more comprehensive
and often more correct than English.
He met with much opposition, however,
and Swift, for one, vowed he would pay
no attention to the rebuke. Yet Swift, IN
most of his political writings, was really
scrupulous enough in maintaining the dis
tInction.
When the Scots began to assert their
rights in the first few months of the war
there were a good many Englishmen VINO
openly defed them. "The Saturday Re
view," or some other more or less in
fuental journal, positively declined to
humor them. "The Spectator" without
committing itself protested mildly against
the use of the word "Briton" on the ground
that it suggested wild and uncouth
creature running about naked and stained
blue. Others fell into an abominabc com
promise and instead of speaking of BrltonS
or Englishmen took to 'Britisher'

ray, but the earliest example quoted is
from Marryat, who introduces 1t merely
in the speech of an American sailor. With
out doubt it was originally used IN
derision and is probably of American, or
indirectly of German, origin. 1t has been
aptly observed that for citizens of the
British Empire to use it is about as
reasonable as for negroes to call them
selves niggers or Germans to call them
selves Boches.

easy, for British" is much more pop
ular word than it was three years ago.

are they to be reconciled?

Diamond Jim

Just as diamonds large as birds eggs
hung almost inconspicuous on the bosom of
Diamond Jim" Brady, so diamond jim
himself was hardly noticeable on Broad
way. He became tradition to'be pointed
out and written up. But in the general
glare of Broadway New York's brightest
tiara hardly sparkled. A Quaker in drab
would have stood out far more boldly.
Diamond jim" melted too completely into
the picture to count.
That is crediting Diamond jim" with
something very close to great artistic
achievement But his success was the ac-
cident of personality rather than of any
conscious striving. He was by nature and
by every instinct the most protectively
colored object in all the Roaring Forties.
He was easily the nearest thing to. a
familiar genius that Broadway has ever
had And, like Broadway, he never grew
up. He devoted lifetime to the cultiva-
ton of the childishnesses which make that
particular playground the raucous, living,
Objectionable, delightful spot that it is.

the article from "The Army and Navy

clear, you have reached condition OF oit-

the army. You must mix two irreconcil-

Woman s Qualities in Politics

To the Editor of The Tribune.
Sir: 1t is strange that the right of
woman to vote seems, in most minds, TO rest
solely upon her being able to show proof of
her ability TO be man-lke, when, in reality,
the only reason the world needs the woman 5
vote is that she can bring into the world Of
politics-which has been mans world-the
qualities of woman.
We have had the qualities and vision of
man represented, and We need as well the
qualities and vision Of woman.
Rather patheticaly in the past woman has
tried to prove her right to vote by aping man
by wearing his stiff collar and his straight
cOat-and this effort has defeated her own
cause; for we all know that womans place
must not be forsaken, and that the only right
she has to the vote is that through particpa-
ton in the making of the laws of the world
she can give to that larger home. which is
the world, the sense of motherhood
sense of motherhood which all admit is so
necessary IN that smaller world the ind-
vidual home.
Let us hope that in world relations, as in
home relations, men and women will work on
and up together, building for the future d
better and happier world.

Posters
An Opportunity for American Artists
to Serve Their Country

To the Editor of The Tribune
Sir: As a keenly interested observer OF the
snirited recruiting campaign now IN progress
in this city, have been struck wit the 1act
that most of the posters used are old and Ill
adanted TO the present purpose; that some are
tainted by commercalism, and that, IN point
Of artistic quality and psychological appeal
our posters are inferior TO the best produc'S
Of Canada-particularly of French Canada -
and Of England, and far inferior to those
splendid posters-full of ideas, OF magma

Towering of the spirit of France
For example. one of the most Inspiring oil

figures we're intended to represent that sup

and in Mexico.
On inquiry at army recruiting headquarters
il was learned that designs for posters Will
be eagerly welcomed by Colonel Walsh, the
officer in charge. The same hearty demo-
cratic spirit doubtless prevails at the head
quarters for the navy.
Here, then, is an opportunity for artists,
advertising men, art students, and also some
hundreds of boys and girls in the poster max
ing classes of the high schools, to do their
bit. The distinctive American poster for pur-
poses of recruiting in the present war has not

might enlist in sufficient numbers without
more effectual posters, it should be a matter
Of pride TO make such posters as we do use

Incidentally, a set Of really fine posters
would automatically drive out the inferior
products of pocket patriotism.
