A New System Of Car Fares

To the Editor of The Tribune.
Sir: In connection with the proposed in
crease in trolley car fares, have few sug-
gestions to make which think would help to
olive the problem.
Let the trolley companies sell eight tickets,
all in one strip, for % cents, and give no
transfers of any kind, except continuing trip
tickets when the car stops before reaching the
end Of the line. No half fares for children
and no free rides for anybody except en-
ployes.
The whole trouble seems TO be over the
transfers. This would be entirely done away
with. Also the time and trouble OF making
change for small fares would make the plan
acceptable to the public.
Persons could walk the few blocks to reach
a main line, instead of riding and transfer
ring. as at present j. NJ c.

approach or a poor long putt. 10 elimi-
nate it is to turn the whole short game
topsy-turvy. The Mad Halter, in happy
moment, might hatch more ingenious
policy, but he would have TO hustle.
Are we to go ON and have mad-tea-party
golf all along the line? Is the winner of
hole TO lose the honor on the next tee? Will
the winner of the eighteenth hole be con-
demned to sign the check in the nineteenth
hole? Perhaps, but probably not-not even
in the corn-fed belt Of golfng. Rules are
all very WELL but the embattled army of
buffers is very much more. The game will
go on pretty much as before, we guess, and
let Lewis Carroll might have laughed
the game out of existence but the Western
Golf Association has no such power.

Typically Boche
chief victim

In another column The Tribune prints
to-day a letter from Mr. Clement Rueff,
president of Les Amis de PAlsace-Lor-
raine, setting forth the fact that letter
printed by this newspaper on Monday,
signed with his name, was forgery, and
that it was a forgery designed to saddle
him with views which he did not hold, for
the purpose of injuring both the president
and the society.
The Tribune greatly regrets the injus-
tice done to Mr. Rueff The letter which
it received bore all the superficial evil
dences Of being genuine, but there is not
the smallest question that it was forgery,
and it is not difficult TO recognize the pur-
pose Of the forgery, now that it has been
promptly reprinted by a newspaper pub
lished locally in the German tongue.
Here is a typical, if relatively insignifi-
cant, evidence of the kind of thing the
German does. The case of France in the
matter Of Alsace-L Lorraine is becoming so
clear to the American people and the
unanimous desire Of the natives of Alsace-
Lorraine in America to see their native
land reunited to France is so manifest that
the local Teutonic agents are working
night and day by every possible trick to
obscure the fact and falsify the record.
Much as The Tribune regrets its uninten-
tional part in German trick, it believes
that its readers will find profit in this new
disclosure of Boche intrigue in a country
now at war with Germany.

Col. Cosby Makes Denial
yofre's Statement Was Not Changed
or Suppressed by Any American

To the Editor of The Tribune
Sir: Ny attention has just been called to
two articles on the editorial page of The
Tribune Of May II on "Censorng Joffre."
The gist Of these articles is that vital
mart of Marshal Joffre's statement Of April
% to the Washington newspaper correspond
ents was expurgated, and that this was the
result of deliberate effort made by the Cen
era staff of our own army to suppress the
words of the French marshal because they
advocated a policy of which the General Staff
old not approve. II is also intimated that |
was the representative of the General staff
who made the effort in question and attempt
ed to put into effect military censorship.
This does such an injustice to our General
staff that, knowing the facts in the case,
cannot let The Tribune's articles go unchal-
lenged. 1t is true that assisted NJ. Hove
laque in translatng Marshal Joffre's state
ment; it is also true that several lines of that
statement were suppressed, but it is not true
that these two facts had the slightest connec-
ton with each other. Neither nor any rep
Iesentative OF the General staff, nor any
other American. had anything to do, directly
or indirectly, by suggestion or in any other
way. with any suppression or changes made
in the marshal's statement
| trust that in fairness to all concerned The
Tribune will give this categorical denial as
prominent a position in its pages as it gave
the articles referred to.

To the Editor Of The Tribune.
Sir: Our sons are called on active service.
Let US gather in our places Of worship to

tional day of prayer and to declare that we

$40 Certificates Needed
Smaller Denominations Would Place
Liberty Loan with Rank and File

To the Editor of The Tribune.
Sir: It almost makes me feel like an art
student improving on Raphael in attempting
to modify the decision of Congress in the
issuance of the Liberty bonds. Neverthe
less, if the smaller denomination idea is not
in keeping with the best policies of the Lib
erty Loan Committee, it will, hope, at least
stimulate thought and encourage suggestions
that may help each man do "his bit"
But. really, it would reach the rank and file
Of people who cannot afford greater sums, and
| honestly feel that we here in the store can
dispose of the smaller bonds over the coun-
ter and to our employees.

TO THE LIBERTY LOAN COMMITTEE

y II u II Nv I ]
1t is respectfully rendered for your consid
Grafton that in our opinion there should be
made Immediately available a certificate or
other instrument, not to exceed $40, which
may be passed over the counter by US, COM
pleting each transaction as it is made, and
which will be exchangcable for the Liberty
Loan bonds.
This security or certificate should be issued
by responsible bank, banking house or cor
poraton, and should preferably bear interest.
The possibility of illegitimate issues gain
ing wide circulation is thus eliminated and
a practical, inexpensive method is available
for assisting the government loan. We deem
this matter of sufficient Importance to request
your immediate attention.

Danish SCROFULA
Hoods SarsapariIIa Cleanses the
Blood, Skin Troubles Vanish.

Scrofula eruptions on the face
and body are both annoying and
disfguring. The complexion would
be perfect if they we're not present !
This disease shows itself in other
ways, as punches in the neck, in
famed eyelids, sore ears, wasting of
the muscles, a form Of dyspepsia,
and general debility.
Ask your druggist for Hoods
Sarsaparilla. This great medicine
completely eradicates scrofula. 1t
purifes and enriches the blood, re-
moves humors, and builds up the
whole system.
Scrofula is either inherited or ac-
quired. Better be sure you are
quite free from it. Get Hoods Sar-
saparilla and begin taking it today.

Died Of premature Ola Age !!

How many times we hear of compare
dvely young persons passing away when
they should have lived to be 20 or so
years of age. This fatal work is usually
attributed to the kidneys, as, when the
kidneys degenerate, it causes auto-intox-
cation. The more injurious the poisons
passing through the kidneys the quicker
will those noble organs be degenerated,
and the sooner they decay
1t IS thus the wisest policy, to prevent
premature old age and promote long life.
to Tighten the work of the kidneys. This
can be done by drinking plenty of pure
water all day long, and occasionally TAX
ing little Anuric before meals. This
san be obtained at almost any DRUG store.
You will find Anuric more potent than
.thia for it dissolves uric acid as water
ioes sugar and rheumatism is quickly
-elieved.
