Columbia's Last Trench

Women have been graciously permitted
to study in many of Columbia's post
graduate schools for a number Of years
now. They won their way into the medical
school, the College of Physicians and Sur
geons, last year. Now even international
law is added to the list. This leaves prac-
tically isolated and the last trench Of the
die-hards the Law School proper, which
still insists that justice, whatever the
sculptors say, must, at Columbia, be clad
in trousers.
There are various explanations given.
1t is declared that President Butler and
the trustees would gladly open the doors
of the school to women, but that Dean
Stone and sundry other professors object.
For the higher authorities, and Mr.. Butler
in particular, it must be said that Colum-
bia has shown a consistently enlightened
attitude toward the education of women,
and that the present exception goes con-
trary to an old and settled tendency. If
the prejudices of the Law School faculty
do centre about this change, it is of scant
avail to argue, and it is slow work wait
ing for the present generation to retire
and a new personnel to arrive. The case
seems clearly one in which PROFESSIONAL
dignity should for its own health and
good be doused in the cold water of com.
pulsory reform.
The war adds to the urgency of the
present appeal. Our colleges and universi-
ties will be thinned in ranks. There will
be ample room for women students. There
will also undoubtedly be an added move
ment of women to this profession as to all
the other professions and activities. The
whole situation utters a demand to which
we hope and trust the authorities Of Co.
lumbia will feel it right and necessary
TO Weld.
New-York tribune., 1917-07-11

satisfied with the present situation as At
torney General Gregory can possibly be.
But the rest of the community is far from
satisfied. How could it be expected to be
when in a great centre Of military activity
like New York-the nations largest sea-
port and the base of most of our European
commerce-German subjects are allowed
to circulate without impediment, gather
ing information of enormous military i'm
portance? A spy who is armed with a
dispensation from the Department of JUS
tice can do even more damage than spy
who is not armed with one. Why have a
law against espionage and not enforce it?
Why suspend its enforcement until the
work of espionage has been done? The
country would like it better if, under such
circumstances, the Attorney General were
a little more anxious and little less
satisfied

A Novelist on Air Raids

Among the many and conflicting opln-
ions of public men and popular writer's on
the recent air raids on London Mr.. Hall
Gaines are the least ineligible. In the
account he gives in "The New York
Times" of the latest raid he does his best
in every way to belittle the work of the
raiders. He "could see no damage that
might not be remedied by the mason, the
payer and the glazier within six days"
In his eyes the material results of the raid
"were contemptible," and after careful
consideration his conclusion is that if the
number of the raiders were doubled and
"if twice twenty-five German air machines
come here every day for ten years, doing
so much and no. more damage, this mighty
London would still be where it stands"
Mr.. Caine was not even satisfied with
the raid as a military spectacle. Indeed,
it was little short of contemplate" and
he has read of "the battles recorded in the
old Morse sagas." The men were flying
slowly, astonishingly slowly" People told
him that the conduct of the affair was
mastery. Nothing of the kind" says
Mr.. Caine. at would be difficult to
imagine anything less suggestive to the
eye of spectator of the majesty, unison,
terror and splendor of war" Why, the
fellows flew without recognizable forma-
ton. close together in patches, and fray
ing off at various orderless angles"
.Esthetically considered, they were, in fact,
a most unimpressive group. This appear
ance offended him, for, indeed, against the
gray banks of clouds they looked precisely
like a collection of cholera germs on
glass disk"
Mr.. Hall Caine has for long been a
persistent and clamorous supporter Of the
policy of reprisals. His readers, however,
will probably think that if there are not
airmen enough to deal with such astonish-
ingly slow and contemplate raiders as he
describes there can hardly be enough to
throw away on speculative counter raids.
For to Judge by the comments of other OBJ
servers, few Londoners are prepared to
accept with equanimity the possibility of
daily visits on a larger scale, even if in
ten years London would still be where it
stands" 1t is to be feared that Mr.. Hall
Gaines temper was ruffled to the. detri-
ment of his better judgment.
New-York tribune., 1917-07-11
Too Easily Satisfied

IF Attorney General Gregory is pleased,
as ne says he is, with the enemy alien stu
alton in this city, then he is very easily
pleased. The enemy alien situation here is
chaotic The President issued a proclama-
ton many weeks ago forbidding German
forts, arsenals or other military centres
are situated or in which military activities
are being carried on. That proclamation
has remained a dead letter. The repre-
sentatives of the Department Of Justice in
this city have not enforced it. They know
that the proclamation cannot be enforced
except by prodigious effort. Rather than
make that effort they have allowed the
Presidents order to enforce itself
1t is against public policy to allow enemy
aliens to enter the barred zones. But tens
Of thousands of Germans live in those
zones or pass through them daily. The
United States Marshal for the Southern
District of New York hasn't enough as
sistants to clear the forbidden areas and
keep them clear. 1t would take small
army of deputy marshals to do that. So
he has devised the Dogberry scheme of Of
fering TO give permits to violate the zone
proclamation to all enemy aliens who take
the trouble to apply for them. Some have
applied and received licenses; some have
applied for licenses and then neglected TO
take them out. Some have never applied
for them. But all three classes, number
ing in this city about 100000, are still liv-
ing in the barred zones or moving through
them at will. They are making laughing
stock of the Presidents proclamation.
That proclamation may have been is-
sued without any intelligent appreciation
Of its effects in this city, where the enemy
alien population is large and the restricted
areas are very extensive. The Department
Of Justice may feel now that the order
ought to be suspended, partially or COM
pletely, seeing that it cannot be enforced
with the machinery at the department s
command. But the pretence that it is be-
ing enforced, when it is merely being
evaded deceives nobody. German sub
jects here are not overwhelmed by Mar
shall McCarthys clemency. The depart
ment doesn't impress them by its policy
Of dispensations-of letting them stay in
the barred areas and putting them on their
honor not 10 make hostile use Of informa-
ton acquired there. They know that this
leniency is due not so much TO good will as
70 impotency. They laugh at the solemn
farce Of enforcing the zone proclamation
by issuing tickets Of admission TO all who
care 10 ask for them.
The enemy aliens here are just as well

Our German Newspapers

To the Editor of The Tribune.
Sir: The communication of Vermont"
published to-day in The Tribune. meets the
approval of many American people.
Among my acquaintances is a German who,
while he claims to be a naturalized American
citizen, like tens of thousands of his kind
prefers the German newspapers to the other
publications OF our country. Why? Not that
he cannot read or understand the English
language. "My German paper tells me the
trut' about the war; the rest are full of lies"
What makes you think y" asked.
"They say the American soldiers all
reached France, when they didn't"
How do you know"
"My paper says they didn't; about ten
thousand were lost"
Does your paper say ten thousand were
lost?7
"No, it don't say that exactly, but it says
they left this country nearly two weeks ago
and haven't been heard from since, so, Of
course, German submarines sunk 'em."
Is it right that these foreigners should get
these false impressions from newspapers
printed in a foreign language?

Prohibition and Revenue
!itor Of The Tribune.

To the Editor of The Tribune.
Sir: "Bone-Dry Economist" asserts that a
large majority Of the failures OF young men
to pass physical examination for military
work is caused by the use of alcohol What
proof has he of this statement If there are
any official records that support his asser-
tion, will be indebted to him if he will ad-
wise me as to where they can be found.
The same writer refers to the Several
million dollars revenue" that will be lost by
national prohibition, and claims that many
times that number of millions would be an
nually saved by the adoption of that scheme
for making men temperate by law. Instead
of Several million dollars" the loss in reve-
nue. would be at least S400, 100000, under the
proposed increase in liquor taxes Will he
explain how many times over" this amount
will be saved by forcing the substitution of
moonshne and bootleg liquor for alcoholic
beverages made and sold under strict govern
ment regulation? MODERATE.

exhibit their patriotic devotion to American
institutions by absorbing il? Is the ardor

difference between "small SHELF and a
schooner? And will he who balks even at

treason?

Saving Children

To the Editor of The Tribune.
Sir: In the public schools of the City OF
New York there are at present siXty-one hun
dred pronounced anamic cases. The total
of anemic, underfed and tubercular children
in our schools is twenty thousand. The ma
jority of these children remain in classes for
indefinite terms. So far no effort has been
made by the City of New York to remedy the
conditions of these anamic and underfed chill
dren. introduced a resolution in the Board
of Aldermen, which is now before the finance
committee, requesting the Board of Educa-
tion to include in its budget for the year 1918
an appropriation for the establishment of
summer camps in the State Reserve parks for
anamic, underfed and undeveloped children
of our public schools.
There is no question in the minds of peo-
pie who have made study of this situation
that few months in an open air camp. un-
der proper medical supervision, with proper
diet, would greatly improve the condition OF
the children.
A great majority of these children whose
condition could have been improved during
their childhood or youth grow into manhood
physically defective and become dependent
support.
From my personal investigations 7 have
discovered that the majority of these ansmic
children remain in classes for a few terms.
and thereafter are promoted in order to
make room for other children. The expense
OF maintaining camp of the nature hereto
fore described would be insignificant COM
pared with the amount of good it would do 70
the children and the actual saving that the
city would derive from it.
1t costs the City of New York at least $50
year for each child in the public schools.
While the children are at camps continuation
classes could be conducted and the children
prepared for promotion at a saving to the
City of New York of greater sum than the
cost of maintaining camps. ! am thoroughly
convinced that this work is Of a constructive
nature. which should appeal to every person
interested in child welfare.

Washington at Tarrytown

There is a field in Tarrytown where June
Runs high with daisies when the year is
full
And there are seven daisies there TO pull,
And there are seven robins all in tune;
And sometimes when there comes a haunted
moon,
There is a great horse seen in the dim
night,
And on his back he rides, girt for the fight,
George Washington .
And once, in old Khartoum,
A man came down, who said: There is a race
That knows no bond of time, no guile Of
place,
And that race rules the reaches Of the world"
And so, whereer our burning star il hurled,
Men ride and women watch beneath the
moon.

Who Is Sinister ?

To the Editor OF The Tribune.
Sir: The deduction made by your Washing
ton correspondent, Mr. Gilbert, that it is the
whiskey men who are delaying the food con-
troll bill is somewhat peculiar one. In view
of the fact that it is the various prohibition
amendments that have been holding up the
bill it is permissible to think it is the other
way about And it does look as if there was
a sinister combination between the prohibi-
tionlsts and the food pirates.
