To the Editor Of The Tribune.
Sir: | desire to add my Endorsement 20
the sentiments expressed in Alfred E. Hen
derson's letter in this mornings Tribune
relating to school children "soapbox ora
tors" These ingrates are descendants of
those who have come to our shores to obtain
a chance to become educated to make money
and to live among civilized and law abiding
beings. Abused and knocked about on the
other side, they come to our shores for an
asylum from persecution. God only knows
we have given them every chance and oppor-
tunity here, and now they repay US for our
pains and leniency toward them by permit
ting their children to ridcue and attempt
to destroy our educational systems!
Our seective draft and military prepara-
tons will be found TO be the best things
that ever happened for this country, for
there has been too much freedom and license
among the younger generation, and disci-
pine, with its necessary restraints and cor
receive methods, will be the salvation of
this young element who are now, figuratively
speaking, jumping over the traces"

The Russian Fleets Escape

II was a favorite saying of Admiral
Essen, the late brilliant commander in
chief Of the naval forces in the Baltic,
that whereas even a wreck might often
be repaired Che was speaking of running
risks, what could never be patched up
was a broken spirit in the feet or spirit
which had deteriorated through discour-
agement or neglect.
The daring leader who did so much
toward reestablishing the Russian navy
after it had been broken and demoralized
by the disasters suffered in the japanese
war would have no reason to be ashamed
of his work to-day if the conditions de-
Scribed in the latest reports of the opera
tons about the Gulf of Riga are at all
trustworthy.
The story is not finished, and nothing
could be more foolish than to rejoice over
a success which at best is only relative
and may even prove TO be merely post
ponement Of disaster; but, considering the
circumstances thus far revealed, the Rus
sian fleet has done well-better in fact,
than most men dared to hope month ago.
It is idle 10 look back TO the summer
before last, when Admiral Kanin spoke
with so much assurance of the situation in
the Baltic. He had reason 10 feel conf
dent. for had he not seen far superior
force successfully repulsed the year be-
fore? In the meantime the feet had been
greatly strengthened; three or four new
battleships had been passed into commits
sion, and many other ships and vessels had
been added. The condition of the fleet was
apparently more satisfactory than ever
before. and there was, therefore, little rea-
son TO fear the Germans.
Then came the revolution. and all cal
culations were upset. 1t was impossible
any longer TO count on the spirit of the
fleet. We have had glowing accounts late
" of some sort Of mutiny in several Ger
man ships, but none of the reports indi-
Gates that it was in any way comparable
10 the revolt in the Russian navy. At the
most. it seems TO have been feeble re-

The Perennial Anti

There is something pathetic about the
long letter from that distinguished con-
scientious director to suffrage, Mr..
Everett P Wheeler, which we print In an
other column. For goodness knows how
many years-Mr. Wheeler was born in
184O-he has been devoting real ability,
energy and time to the task Of opposing
the grant of suffrage to women. He has
repeated the. old set assertions so often
that it is simply impossible for him to
modify them to accord with the changing
facts. He has been calling a certain spot
black so long that his eyes are physically
unable to recognize that it has changed to
white.
Women don't want the vote" has been
the cornerstone Of anti-suffrage through
out the ages. 1t was true once, save for
very small minority. But that minority
has grown steadily with the passing Of
the years. Not by any sudden revolution
Of a few, but by a gradual development Of
all women, their minds, their interests,
their occupations, has the desire spread.
Paralleling the growth of women came the
urgent need for their new outlook. Their
old sphere has been greatly narrowed by
modern life, by the school system, by the
factory system, by the destruction OF the
old-fashioned, self-subsisting home; if
women are to fulfil merely their old use
fitness in the world they must presently
share in its government.
All this has been happening for years
in plain sight for all to see. Since the war
began the processes of the change have
been accelerated. The basic causes have
continued unchanged. Yet so capable a
citizen as Mr.. Wheeler has sat through all
these years without the faintest percep-
ton of what was taking place. Any COM
petent observer in any community would
have guessed that the suffragists could
easily obtain the poll which they have an
lnounced-signature Of women desiring to
vote running we'll over q million in the
state. Yet Mr.. Wheeler simply repeats
and repeats his old denials. He can't be-
Heve it. he won't believe, though the names
and addresses are there for every one to
see.
/ The water is we'll over Mr. Wheeler's
ankles. Presently it will be over his knees
Yet. sweeping majestically in the same old
rhythm, he goes on protesting that it is
not water, that it never was water, and
that at any rate he can sweep 1t back
There may be more futile, more pa
thetic sight. But considering Mr.. Wheel
er's ability and his good intentions we can
not remember one.

Shoot Them !!

The news in The Tribune that spies or
traitors in the New York Navy Yard so
damaged two of the German liners con-
yerted into American transports that they
had 70 nut back from sea when outward
bound need not surprise any one Ihls
neighborhood has been a fertile soil for
the propagation Of treachery. Among a
limited. vet sufficient, portion Of Americans
and near-Americans there has been
preached a combination of sloppy sentl-
rentalism and vicious subtle sedition
which was fit TO turn the heads Of any
one weak enough and patient enough 10
listen.
Whether those now guilty were spies or
traitors may be left to our competent Sc
cret Service to determine. In all probaoii-
itv. both spies and traitors contributed to
the end. 1t is the common method of the
skilful spy to mould to his needs those who
have sedition in their hearts. Such was
the labor OF Major Andre at West Point,
for the famous example in our history. 1t
Will be astonishing if the same combina-
ton Of spy and turncoat is noS revealed
here.
For both cases there can be but one
penalty. Spy and traitor must alike De
shot. There are different degrees Of guilt
in spying and in treason. There can be
no question of the extreme guilt here. We
are sending brave and beloved lives over
seas. The perils Of the sea itself are
great. The perils of warfare in France
will be greater. To add to these lnescap-
able risks the Vaccinations Of spies and
traitors operating here at home is un-
thinkable. No measures can be too strln-
oent 10 protect our men from these threats;
no punishment can be too severe to deter
their execution.
Let US have an end Of comfortable pre-
tence. In plain fact, the war is not to-day
three thousand miles away. 1t is here.
The enemy, through skilful agents and
soft-headed dupes, is waging within our
borders every sort of warfare that his cum
ming can invent. He is creating an atmos-
phere of sedition by his newspapers, he Is
secretly fighting the loan and every other
natriotic endeavor. He is, finally, trying
10 accomplish by spies and treachery what
ne has thus far failed to accomplish by
U-boats-the destruction of an eastward
bound transport laden with hundreds OF
our soldier youth.
Shoot them! The punishment has been
richly earned. 1t will be fitting end
it will equally be needed and just warn
ing to seditious Americans that they can
carry on their easy-going treachery i'm
perilling American heroes only by facing
an equal risk and placing their own lives

Recreation for Our Soldiers

Giving our soldiers fun and chance to
play and a place to feel at home comes
very close to the top Of the list of the
things that we all want to do for them.
Mr.. Arthur Gleason recently wrote in
these columns of the good work and great
need existing in France among our men.
There is the same chance and need in our
camps in America. We all have sons or
brothers or husbands or friends in those
camps. We know the sacrifice they have
made in going, we know what hardships
they are necessarily facing. 1t needs no
imagination to realize how keenly they
will appreciate whatever home life can be
given them.
Those towns which are fortunate enough
to be located near the camps and which
have the intelligence to respond to their
opportunity are TO be congratulated. We
are thinking, for instance, Of the town Of
Hampstead, on Long Island, which has
opened its homes to the men of the Rain
bow Division, and which in few weeks
has given and received more friendship
and warm American feeling than it would
otherwise nave experienced in century.
The men of the National Guard, from
Texas and Ohio and the whole country, have
received hospitality which they will never
forget. They have shown themselves CRATE
full and admirable guests. And the men and
women of Hampstead have learned more of
their country, have awakened more fully
TO the great hour in which we live, than
any less fortunate community. The same
is true of other camp neighborhoods-in
varying degrees.
What can the rest of us do who do not
live near enough to camps TO work person
ally, TO open our own homes? We can give
TO the organization which Is doing exactly
the same thing in an organized way wher-

issues?
From The Times, Of London


Bitter beer offers good illustration OF
what Is going on. Before the war the cost
TO the consumer in the majority Of licensed
houses was 3d. pint, or I'D. in the best
room. By the end of last year the price
had advanced to sd. and Cd. pint On the
announcement Of further reduction in bar
relage there came a sudden new advance to
1Gd. and even TO Is. Consumption decreased
for few days, but soon the demand again
overlook the supply, and the latest plan
adopted in the trade is to sell beer not by
the pint or half pint but by the glass. The
glasses are small and average three 10 the
pint. By this procedure the publican gets
Is. Sd. pint for his beer, or Ave times the
price which ruled three years ago. Working
only one third the pre-wsr hours and selling
only one-third the pre-war quantities, license
holders are making much more money than
they did under the old conditions, even when
they have paid the brewer his greatly in
creased charges.

What One Trade Has Done
the Editor of The Tribune.

To the Editor of The Tribune
Sir: The coffee trade organized a SOL
ders and sailors welfare society three
weeks ago. Its purpose was to keep in touch
with such members as leave to enter the
army and ravy, to see each man away had
a trade correspondent and to care for any
wants that may develop among our boys
Realizing the necessity of making the Liberty
Loan success, committee was appointed
Wednesday, October II, to solicit from
among the younger men Of the trade sub
scrptiOns OF $50 and 500. As the jobbing
houses were responding on their own initia-
tive to the loan, the committee went to work
among those who would not be apt TO sub
scribe except through personal appeal. As
a result, over $4,000 was secured and the
work is continuing. This shows what can
be done among the men of smaller means
when an effort is. stimulated and earnestly

To the Editor Of The Tribune.
Sir: Within few DAYS New Workers will
be called on to decide whether they are con-
tented to be governed by their present Mayor
or whether they ought to change. A few
words on the subject may not be amiss. 1t is
good saying that Birds of feather flock

the Socialist candidate. He may be perfectly
loyal to the United States, for all know.
He may, il publicly questioned, say that he

of the Liberty Loan: that if he had son
he would make him enter the army, etc. |

Germany.

Election, something that may be completely
obliterated by just such move as the
present offensive in the Baltic. In the
Russian fleet, on the other hand, absolute
Generalization was threatened. Five or
six months ago the then commander In
chief was openly lamenting that nothing
but confusion and mistrust prevailed ana
that the traditional discipline was thing
of the past 1t was impossible any longer
TO reckon on the steadfastness of the fleet.
Under such conditions the most disas-
trous event might reasonably be appre-
hended at the first clash with so formida-
BILE force as Germany could undoubtedly
bring to bear on the Russians. The Rus
sian feet was largely In charge OF new
and untried hands, and It was impossible
to predict what the outcome would BE- III
the latest reports are true, the delaying
action fought against what is described as
the major part of the German feet was all
that could be expected against great odds,
and probably much more than the Ger
mans themselves counted upon.
The list of German ships and vessels
said to have been destroyed or put out OF
action is formidable-two modern battle
ships, a cruiser, twelve torpedo boats and
many mine sweepers. The Russians admit
the loss of one pre-dreadnought battleship
and destroyer. AS to the German losses,
thew must be taken as more or less con-
iectural. 1t is said that six of the tor
pedo craft were seen to sink, but the de-
gree of damage done to the ships is not
known, and may have been inconsiderable.
But it is significant that as yet the Ger
mans have made no extraordinary claims,
though it can hardly be doubted that the
utter humiliation of the Russian feet has
been eagerly expected.
