Those Birthday Greetings
DR. of The Tribune.

To the Editor OF The Tribune.
Sir: May ask what the Administration at
Washington expects to gain by sending each
year hearty birthday greetings to the most
inhuman ruler the world has seen for CEN
turtles? Will such policy lead TO the early
settlement Of the Lustania and other Prus-
sian atrocities? | think not. President
Wilson can not or will not see that he is deal
ing with set Of INSCRIPTIONS warmongers,
who simply treat his notes with the con-
tempt which they now deserve; and this con-
dition is purely Of his own making, as he
evidently never intended to hold Germany to
"strict accountability"
The Presidents foreign policy shows he
cares little or nothing for frightful murders
IN Armenia and the ceaseless groans of the
Belgians driven into captivity. He who could
look on the sinking of the Lusitania with
the loss Of over 200 lives and take no action
reed not be expected to bother about trifing
things like Armenia the establishment Of
slavery in Europe by Germany. A.E.K.

Citizenship for Teachers

There is eminent good sense in the rec
concentration of the Board of Superintend'
ents to the Board of Education that here
after any appointee to a teaching or super
visory place shall be, or shall Immediately
take steps to become, an American citizen
Moreover, there is good legal opinion be-
hind it in the recent judgment of the Appel
late Division over in Brooklyn that an alien
was not legally competent to hold Office
under the city government.
If there is any place where that broad
and indefinite thing called Americanism
is to be acquired it should be the public
schools. The acquiring of Americanism
from an alien source is not quite within
the scope of the imagination. The Board
of Education should adopt this recommen-
dation, and it might as well be made retro
active while they are about 1t. II any
teacher does not care enough about this
country, its spirit, its institutions, to be-
come a citizen, that teacher should not be
pocketing public money.

Our Treaty Duties Toward Japan

T, the Editor of The Tribune.
Sir; As the country seems to be satlShsu
that the present Administration was is'f'
reelected, it is only right that every trDs
American should Loyalty support it. The oes'
way to support it in its wish to be strons
is to urge it to do what is right II is es'
sential, if we are to have any standing among
the nations of the world, that We observe our
plain treaty duties toward Japan.
How are we to occupy firm and reSpeepec,
position as an arbiter Of peace and war Il
we as a nation do not carry out the osse
conditions of our treaties? Nations viii say;
you may have very good intentions anu
sneak we'll of honorable obseryances, but i
We make a treaty with you, how do we know
that it will be kept? One Of your ststes
might not like some part Of II, and theh'
Judging by what has occurred, your nation
will seemingly lack the will, power or tot"
tude to overrule the objections of this stsVe
and, so, the treaty will be nullihed.
After all, words are absolutely Vaiueies'
unless backed by proper action.

A Great Proconsul

Daniel Webster eulogized Lord Ashbur-
ton, with whom he negotiated famous
treaty, as a man who was able to see two
sides of a question at once. The same
praise, and more, might be justly given to
Lord Ashburton's nephew, Lord Cromer,
whose death has just made English public
life poorer. Intensely and aggressively
English in all his policies, he had above
most of his contemporaries the gift of see
ing not only the two sides, but all sides and
angles and phases of questions which came
before him.
In this he did not escape censure, any
more than his famous uncle had done. We
remember Gordon's whimsical, half
pathetic apostrophe of complaint. But the
pity of it was that Gordon could not sur
vive to appreciate the greatness of Gro
mer's work and to cooperate with him in
it, as he would have done with all his
heart.
1t is to be doubted if in all the catalogue
of England's proconsuls there is another
name more worthy of honor than Cromer's
That of Warren Hastings most readily oc-
ours for comparison; but if there be fair
comparison in intellectual gifts and in the
achievements of craftsmanship, there is a
contrast on the moral side which makes
the name of Cromer far the loftier of the
two. Hastings won an Indian Empire for
England, and was too little regardful of
the interests and even the rights of the
Indians. Cromer confirmed England in
possession of the kingdom of the Pharaohs
and the Ptolemies, expanded beyond their
most ambitious conquests; but in every act
his first thought was for the welfare of the
people of that land. If Kitchener trans
formed the fellaheen into effective and
conquering soldiery, Cromer transformed
slaves into partly self-governing citizens.
Apart from and in addition to his politi-
cal achievements, which were of the high
est order, Lord Cromer's administrative
work was extraordinary. His rehabilita-
ton of the finances of Egypt, his execution
of vast engineering projects and his devel-
opment of industry and trade and the gen.
eral prosperity Of the Egyptian people
have seldom been rivalled in the history of
civilization. In India, and at home in Eng
land, his benefcent labors were consider
able, and they alone would entitle him to
honorable and grateful remembrance. But
as the creator of modern Egypt he attained
long before his years were ended a fame
which that of few or none Of his colleagues
will outshine.

Take the Postoffices Out of Politics

Senator Poindexter's amendment to the
Legislative, Executive and Judicial appro-
priation bill, providing that all postmas-
ters shall be out into the classified civil
service, should be adopted by Congress. 1t
will "cover in some 10000 appointees Of
the Democratic Administration, to be sure.
Many of these officeholders undoubtedly
are politicians pure and simple, unfit for
their jobs under any standard of compe-
tence and technical attachments. Never
theless the proposal to take the postmas-
tiers out Of politics is a distinct reform. 1t
can never be carried out without covering
in the men holding those jobs at partlcu-
lar time, and it might as we'll be done now
as later.
The Tribune advocated this course when
President Taft undertook to have it fol-
lowed. If the step had been taken then
the country would have been that much
nearer an efficient and economical admin
istration of the postal service. The sooner
the postmaster ceases to be political ap-
pointee and becomes a member of the
classified civil service, knowing that he
holds his place on merit and good behavior
and that he must look for advancement
not to political activity but to able admin
istration of his Office, the sooner incompe-
tents and those with the professional poll
tician's habits will be weeded out of the
postal service.
The deserving Democrats" who have
been fortunate enough to gain appoint
ment as first, second or third class post
masters will benefit if this amendment is
enacted into law. But the country will
benefit in the end.
The Republicans in both houses of Con-
gress may support Senator Poindexter with
the better grace because this proposal
originally came from Republican Execu-
tive. The principle is no different now
from what it was then. 1t deserves to be
written into law now, just as it did then.

Women and Patriotism

At a recent meeting of great relief
fund of this citv a celebrated Frenchman,
who has done active ser' ice in war,
thanked the women of America for their
patriotism and implored them not to let
the nation fall into moral sleep.
There were not many men in the
audience for it was merely meeting that
had to do with the world war. There were
few, however, and they smiled with COM
placency at the compliment to their wom-
ankind, not asking themselves why they
were mentioned nowhere in the French
mans address. Apparently they had come
to consider that patriotism is woman's
task nowadays. 1t seems TO have been
reegated to the women, along with en-
broidery and piano playing and the gen
tier feminine arts of various kinds. 1t is
womanish ng-stock-broking Ameri-
cans appear willing TO believe-this ex-
penditure of enthusiasm that might well
be commercialized upon love for ones
country or for the world.
1t is our women who are redeeming the
stand that the nation has taken in the
eyes of England and the Allies. You need
only look over the names of the various
relief societies of this city and of the
country to learn that the burden of Amer
lean pity for a world tragedy rests largely
upon the shoulders of the women. They
are showing their patriotism within our
borders, also, by their defence organiza-
tons and their Americanization societies.
In the annual game season against the
labor law, which has opened with another
attack by Assemblyman Bewley upon the
54-hour law in canneries, it is the women
who are protesting most vigorously.
The nation may well be proud of the
fact that its women-in the East. at least
have not followed the masculine lead in
taking a provincial view of world politics.
But it is not a wise country that rates
patriotism as an effeminate virtue. Amer
lea may well blush at a compliment to its
women only upon their love of country.

Sir: radio by the Overseas News Agency
ANNOUNCES that members of the Town Coun-

Kaiser telegram renewing their allegiance

who signed this famous state paper. They
evidently are the representatives of the
"Schwobe" element of the town. To a city

WHY MUST AUTHORS READ,
Let Them Sit on the Platform While Their
Works Come from Expert Lips
D the Editor Of The Tribune.

To the Editor Of The Tribune
Sir: After having attended many authors,
readings land committed some myself An
convinced that the enjoyment consists 4,
gazing at the author; for his, or even her.
reading is seldom enjoyable Of itself Th;,
is not in any way TO the authors dscredit
Reading correctly is no more natural gin
than is writing correctly. II takes not only
talent but training to make a successful
writer, and it takes equal training to make a
good reader.
The author has generally been too busy i,
his or her own way to go through the long
and hard course of preparation necessary to
the professional reader. Result: mos.
authors are poor readers. There are some
exceptions, but this holds good Of the ma.
jority. AFTER the war hope to pick up
gas helmet cheap; then / can attend all
authors readings and even public dinnery.)
Meanwhile, why cannot authors readings
be arranged in this way7 Let the author
sit on the platform where the audience can
look its full at him or her. Said author
might even be allowed TO make speech con-
corning the poems or stories TO be read. But
have some good professional reader, with
rich, trained voice, read the selections
chosen. The reader could vanish from the
performance and leave the author TO shake
hands with the audience and receive their
congratulations. think these congratula-
tions would be all the hesrtier for the easier
comprehension and the enhanced enjoyment
of really good reading. The thing has been
done this way in Continental Europe, where
there is much respect for the art of reading
and high standard set for il.
Or the author might modify an American
plan introduced in the volume, "The Candle
and the Flame" and comment orally on his
verses before or after the reading Of each
group. BOLTON HALL.
