Drink, Poverty and Crime

To the Editor Of The Tribune.
Sir: l am opposed to the continuance Of
the saloon. 1t provokes drinking to excess,
dispenses raw and adulterated liquors, en-
courages treating. The saloon should be
closed, but duly licensed and regulated
hotels and cafes should be authorized TO pro-
vide pure and mature beer and light wines
for consumption with real meals. Also, for
home consumption, breweries should sell di-
rect to the consumer. Light wines should
be on sale in provision stores. No credit.
The main idea Is to take beer and wine out
of the class Of "intoxicants" and provide
reasonable liberty for their use as "bever-
ages"
Regarding the statistics supplied by Mr..
Lilton, it is practically impossible to ascer-
tain how far drink has been the originating
cause of poverty and crime, because it is the
fact that numerous other troubles lead up
to the drink. Again, many kind word and
deed have sprung from a heart opened to
generous impulse by wine, while the dry
soul of the Puritan is proverbially mean
and impervious to generosity. A far more
important subject than moderate drinking"
Is race suicide" The women Of France
robbed their country Of millions Of soldiers
and helped to bring on the war by weakening
their country. Tho women Of America are
doing the same thing II. D. PARKER.

Real Men"
Editor Of The Tribune.

To the Editor Of The Tribune.
Sir: Charlotte (. Rowe, of Yonkers, n. Y,
pays her respects to me through the columns
OF The New York Tribune this morning on
the question of woman suffrage. In sup
port OF her contention she mentions a goody
number of good men, even IL she had to rob
the grave" to make her list more imposing.
There Is no doubt, however, that all the liv-
ing men mentioned voted for woman suffrage,
for all the political platforms in the last
Presidential campaign indorsed it. In closing
her letter she uses the following words:
"Pacifsts, anarchists, |. W. W.'s, radical
socialists, feminists, sackers clinging to
votes for women as their salvation, are,
according to Mr.. Jennings, the realest men
we've got. Some Of US pin our faith on a
very different type of American man."
pin my faith on such real men, who think
as | do on this question, as Theodore Roose-
welt, Louis Brandeis. John Wanamaker,
United States Senator Hiram Johnson, Ben B.
Lindsey, Brand Whitlock, Thomas A. Edison,
Norman Hapgood, Louis F. Post, John Spar
go, United States Senator Reed Smoot United
States Senator Robert NJ. La Toilette, United
States Senator John +. Shafroth, Major
General Leonard Wood, Major General Per-
shing, Bishop Darlington of Pennsylvania
and Governor Brumbaugh of Pennsylvania.

The Era Of Advertising
From Tho Philad,,pb.a Inou,y,y,

This is the golden age Of advertising-and
of advertising that brings results. One cam
pa2n follows another in bewidering success
sion, and with each new effort we discover
new possibilities in the art Of appealing TO
the public. The information comes from
Washington that the worlds biggest adver-
tising campaign has been organized by the
conservation section Of the food administra-
tion. Pleas for the saving Of food will be
made from one end of the country to the
other. No one will be permitted to escape
Everywhere the American goes he will be
confronted with arguments showing the folly
Of waste and the advantages Of thrift in the
preparation and the serving Of food Pledge
cards by the tens Of millions and economy

A Sardonic Prophecy
Regarding Peace Terms, the Press
and the Politicians
Ottawa, Canada, July II, 1917.

To the Editor Of The Tribune.
Sir: In line with your new editorial policy
proposing that the United States and Russia
should make of the original purposes of the
war mockery and pointless jest, have
found matter for desolate remembrance in
noting how this development Of events was
foreseen by one individual concerned.
This person, a native of Scotland, not lack
ing in the sagacity Of his race, was the col
onel commanding a regiment of Highlanders
in the British army, man whose beauty and
nobility of mind, body and character made
him worthy of the splendid and valorous
men he led. In August, 1914 the day he and
his regiment left for France, the question
was put to him-impeled by the usual femi-
nine futility of appeal for some CLEAN of
comfort some ray of hope on the horizon
How will 1t go? Shall we VIM"
at will CO." he said, "as it always goes
Our men will fight as no other men in the
world fight. We shall most of US be
killed, but we shall win. And then the poll
ticians led by the press, will sell us and the
cause for which our men have died. There
is not man in the ranks who does not know
the politicians will sell US at the end, as they
always do"
He was killed last winter leading his men
in the eliminating hour of life Of supreme
devotion to duty, and to my bereavement
comes this sardonic soace of watching my
brothers prediction come true.
Not for nothing did the French cartoonist
Che, too, knew his politicians and his press)
show the heroic French soldiers awaiting un-
daunted the German attack, but saying in
sad foreboding: "Pourvu qu'ils tiennent,"
eff only they hold.O; the. politicians and
the press. Where have they ever held when
claptrap rhetoric and cheap sentimentality
could be weighed against the mere lives of
men and anguish of women?
1t remains only to get what entertainment
can from the complete justification your
new editorial policy affords for the extreme
regret with which | saw the United States
come into the war. No material aid the
United States might give the Allies but would
be too dearly purchased at the cost of the
moral-or shall we say immoral Assistance
her invertebrate sentimentalsm and her
childish avoidance of actual issues provide
for Germany at the bar of eternal white
washing. A SCOTWOMAN.

New York s Beggars

To the Editor of The Tribune.
Sir: Will you kindly inform me II the
heprars one sees on the streets G suppose
am right in calling them beggars, though
they stand or sit silently, they do not ask for
help are licensed, or have a permit from the
authorities for begging, and if so does that
mean that each case has been looked into
and found deserving?
Where ones income barely covers the liv-
ing expenses, and yet one is trying TO help,
at least a little, some of the many worthy
causes, such as war relief, private charities
etc, one wants to be certain that all is given
TO those in need.
Yet 1t seems cruel to pass by, without Civ
ing help, the aged, blind, or perhaps one who
has lost his legs or an arm.
If these are worthy cases surely the city
should enable them to earn living in some
way, not force them to be dependent on char
ity, and if they are not deserving they should
not be allowed to beg. The money given
them should 90 to the relief of others
am frequently told that it is doing harm,
not good, TO give to these people, but il that
is so cannot understand their being allowed
to occupy these positions on the public
streets.
am writing you to learn the truth, which
have long wished to know, regarding this
matter.
| have the highest admiration for your
paper, copies of which | frequently send to
interested friends in California, British CO.
lumbia, Saskatchewan and Quebec.

Singing Soldiers
Americans Can and Do Sing from
Training and Desire

To the Editor of The Tribune.
Sir: | read with interest the letter by Mr..
Farwell in yesterdays Tribune re singing
Soldiers" and wish to take friendly exception
to some of his statements.
He writes to explain "why mass singing is
the army is impossible and impracticable,
and further states: "The idea OF singing
together has never come to these song
fully inclined men. They can sing, indeed, but
they cannot sing together" To all OF whlch
I cannot reconcile my own experiences with
them, as in tho recent visit OF the Lambs
Club to Plattsburg, when every man IN the
camp was assembled in the outdoor audi
torium, | heard some of the best mass sing
ing it has ever been my privilege to hear.
Further, he says, Americans have never
sung in mass nor learned how to do so,' and
| surely cannot understand that, as | per-
sonally, from childhood up, have many times
sung in choruses Of at least five thousand
oil good readers and capable Of singing their
respective parts in any choral music from
Creation" to Dixie"
Does Mr.. Farwell know that in most of the
cities of America music is taught in the
public schools, and pupil must read his
music the same as he reads the newspaper? !?
How about the big church choirs? How about
public schools?
As I write this am hearing a chorus of
about three hundred, singing under the di-
rection of Mr. Raymond Hubbell, of the New
York Hippodrome, and they sing we'll, as
sure you, and yet they are all Americans, and
| venture that had we the place and reason
TO get together fifty thousand real Americans
he would find that they could be taught an
oratorio quicker than corresponding num-
ber of people from any other country.
How about the work of such distinguished
chorus directors as n. c. Stewart, founder
Of the NJ. T. V. A. and thirty-eight years di-
rector of music in the schools of Cleveland;
y. l.. Glover, Of Ohio, who can any day call
together a chorus Of ten thousand trained
singers in Akron, and the late Carl Zearoln,
of New England? How about the Haymakers
OF New England?
Another point: Americans do not need TO
get together, as in olden times, to learn songs
by congregation, as they read music and do
not need to learn by rote
Mr.. Farwell is in earnest in his work, and
more power to him, but American singers are
being trained-not as we'll as they will event
ually-in the right and American way, which
is in the public schools, where they learn
music, not by eaS but by note
New York has unusual conditions to meet.
as there are so many here who have not been
raised in America, but taking the entire coun-
try through he will find better understand
ing and higher education in music than he
gives us credit for.
Good luck to community music, II il will
lead to better music in the public schools. but
American soldiers can sing, and our wonder
ful peace chorus of twenty thousand which
sang in Boston" will sing once more whom
We have peace en- earth and Americans get
together and sing with other nations.

Foreign Legion Losses
Said to Have Been Greatly Exag-
eerated by Legionnaire 36, 900
q tha Editor Of TIE Tribune.

To the Editor Of The Tribune.
Sir: In your issue Of to-day the Ameri-
can private matriculated in the Foreign
Legion as No 3s,606 has come to the
rescue of Mr. Pitney, in order to prove that
France is bled white He states that he be-
iieves that 10000 men have enlisted in the
French Foreign Legion, and that there are
but 5000 left now.
The figure 10000 is probably three times
and possibly four times, larger than the
number of Legionnaires who actually served
in France. And from total Of 10000 mot
100000, il we deduct the 10000 Italians VINO
returned 70 Italy when that country entered
the war, 10000 is left as total
From that 10000 deduct the Russians ana
the English who were sent to Russian and
English units. Deduct also the wounded, VINO
are certainly four or five times more numer-
Gus than the dead, and who are very mucn
alive to-day, some Of them enjoying oreath-
inc American air on American soil. Finally,
deduct the many privates VINO were aiio"e'
10 Join regular French units.
II No. 3s6o6 Is not mistaken in stating
that there are but 5000 Legionnaires left IN
France. the losses among them are very far
from what he makes them out to be. his
first mistake Is evidently the number io,ooo,
which he states was the total number OF
enlistments in France. At the present time,
as at the beginning Of the war. the greatest
number Of the Legionnaires are Alsatlans'
Lorrainers and Germans; they were and are
ytill in Africa and never saw the battle
front.
do not understand what can have prompt
ed Mr.. Pitney and his defenders to exag-
gerate the losses in the French army and
in the Legion. Such exaggerations constant
" eppear in the German press. In Germany
thew are calculated to buoy up the spirit OF
the Teuton armies elsewhere they have the
effect of giving comfort to the common
enemy. But the principal reason why they
ought not to be taken seriously here IS that
thew are not in conformity with the facts
or If may use more dignifed term, with
the truth. -,
Americans need not be told that the llt-
tie sister republic will die soon If her big
American brother does not come at once 10
the rescue. 1t may be that Mr.. Pltney
stretches the truth in order to hurry the
American troops. In that case his good IN
tention is no excuse; some very bad places
are paved with good intentions. Placing
lower value on the strength OF noble ally
should never be done, even if it were true.
Ard it is not true, and think that No. SS,6Oo
Is entirely mistaken.
