erlv persuaded. vote the party ticket.
They greatly outnumber the card mem
bers in good Socialist years, but form
naturally, the uncertain factor IN the
combination. II may be that while the
secession of the Spargo- Russell-Stokes
section has failed TO halt the increase
in card members, il will seriously al
feet the ability of the party TO attract
the more independent affiliated mem
bers.
Something OF this sort. indeed, has
been read in the returns from the by
election for Congress held last April
in the 18th District. In this election or
successor 10 the late Representative
Conry, which was carried BY Tom
Smith, Tammany's secretary, the So
cialist vote represented no more than
its card membership in the district, de.
spite the urgent and exclusive appeal
TO pacifsts made By its candidate and
this at a time when pacitsm was rated
as somewhat more respectable than IL
is at the present day.
The theory that the German vot. in
the city will turn to the Socialist party
ia not altogether tenable. Germans here
are not good Socialists, notvithstand-
ing the Karl Marx tradition and the
strength Of socialism in Germany.
For one thing, they resent the tact
that the Socialist party. originally
started by their compatriots. should
have passed under the control Of the
Russian-Jewish element. And. sec
ondly, as they have prospered, they
have become more conservative. Not
more than Is per cent Of the party,,s
membership. to quote liberal esti-
mate, is German to-day. and these
Germans are. for the most part. men
OF more than fifty years Of age. the
remnants of that much larger cont
pany whose organ was the "Volkszeit-
unG."
The Socialists themselves are not
sanguine of attracting many Germans
to their standard this fall. They seem
willing TO concede the German vote
TO Hylan. while explaining that it is
rot the objectors to this war. so much
as the directors to all war. whom they
count on to swell their vote beyond
all precedent.

10 the Editor of The Tribune.
Sir: should much like for few minutes
10 engage the attention of the president.
But il write this letter to him am airalu
that some Intervening person might thihk u

il i'm a waste basket. If | called TO sec MN
an afraid that before I got TO him | should
have 10 spend more time waiting around
than. in view Of the new taxes that must be
paid, | can afford. SO / am writing TINS
letter to the President to you, hoping that
by YOUR printing of it it may come TO MS
attention.
First. Mr. President, there are some things
that can and must be held TO. One IS tnat
the master is entitled TO immediate, fuli ana
accurate information from his employees OF
,boir conduct in the line of their employ
ment Of course, in demanding that inior-
nation the master runs his risks. We the
people Of the United States, to establish JUS
ticc. to insure our tranquility, to provide
for our defence, TO promote our welfare and
10 secure to ourselves and to our posterity
the blessings of liberty, have employed you
and other gentlemen, designated the Con-
gross. for a specifc time and at n specific
salary TO do our work for us, and we nave
given TO you and to the Congress SPECIFIC
instructions as to what you shall do and as to
what you shall not do. We have told you
and the Congress, among other things, that
YOU shall make no law abridgng the freedom
of speech Of the press.
In doing that, Mr.. President, we knew we
took certain risk We knew that 1T was
YOUR duty to report to us, as any employe
must report TO his master; and we knew that
in discussing among ourselves the facts that
YOU had so reported there was chance that
the facts of our conferences and your con-
duct would get abroad. But Mr.. President
,,e took that risk. It is the risk of a repub-
lie II is the soveregn's risk, whether he IS
an individual or multitude. We, the people,
are the sovereign here, and you, Mr.. Presl-
dent are our employe, and we chose 10 take
that risk, we'll understanding its advantages
to US and its possible perils.
You reported TO US last year that you mad
kept US out of war. and although many OF
US felt that the German rape of Belgium, the
German declaration that treaties made IN
contemplation of war were a mere scrap OF
naper and that the German destruction OF
the Iusitania on the high seas, resulting IN
the death of a number Of our people, were
more than sufficient cause of war, we took
vote and reemployed you.
Then. and almost Immediately, you report
ed to US that we ought to go to war not on
any new occasion, not on any new offence
only because the Germans had told you that
their promise to you that they would not

Horses on Rations

Considering the serious shortage of
grain in the British Isles, it was to be ex-
pected that sooner or later the horses of
the United Kingdom would be put on ra-
tions But though the order just an
nounced in a dispatch from London is far
from drastic, it will undoubtedly be re-
scented by many who regard the inevitable
decline in the horse-breeding industry as
a national disaster.
About six months ago it was pointed out
by the senior steward Of the Jockey Club
that the number of horses in training had
fallen from 4,014 in March. 1914, TO 2,I24
in March, 1916. II has since been an.
nounced that this spring the number in
training amounts to no more than 1910
including those in Ireland and jumpers.
Those who object to interfering with the
