A baby between lines of trenches!
The troops had advanced by night
under the searchlight; they had TAX
en- up a new position within a hun
dred yards of the enemy, on what
had been a farm. And at dawn they
could all distinctly see the child sit
ting up in the hole made by 10
inch shell, one hand extended toward
the ruined buildings.
It was a raw and foggy morning
and presently, while the men still
gaped, the mist came down and hid
the child from sight. To show head
above the sandbags ordinarily meant
instant death. But now a dozen men
leaped from the trenches and ran
forward.
There came a fusilIade from the
enemy and half of them fell dead in
their tracks. The rest staggered on
ward, wounded, to collapse, one by
one. Only one man reached the edge
Of the crater before he collapsed,
shot through the heart.
The fog lifted. By a miracle the
child had escaped injury. She was
still seated there in the shelI-hole.
From the opposing trenches a dozen
men came crawling forward through
the wires. Those of their opponents
opposite them forbore to fire. But to
the right and left were soldiers who
were ignorant of the situation. A
fusillade rang out and of the dozen
men only three were left to work
their way forward.
Cease firing!" came the order.
But it is hard to control a body of
troops that stretches away for I'm

A Strong Move for Germany

To the Editor of The Tribune.
Sir: Your Characterization of the Pope's
peace proposal is correct. His Holiness is
three years and some days too late. He
should, at the outset, have taken his favorite
and dear Child" Austria, by the scruf of
the neck and the seat of the trousers and
have told him to go away back to Berlin
with his (the Austrian) gentle peace pro-
possl to Serbia, sit down and think it over.
There is no record of any protest by the
Pope to Austria on account of Austria's out
rageous and humiliating and un-Christian
ultimatum TO Serbia. The numerous and
barbarous and clearly evident crimes of Ger
many have likewise echoed vainly in the
papal hall of silence. The helpless infants
and women and unarmed men of the Lusi-
tsnia-all children of the Holy Father
went to their ocean burial without the last
rites OF the Church. Cardinal MERCER,
doubtless, has disclosed to the Pope the
horrid details of Catholic Belgium's rape,
robbery and murder. "This thing was not
done in corner"
But the Pope either has not used the op-
portunity that has been his to find out for
himself the truth, or else he has wiled to
close his eyes and ears to evidence that has
been clear and plain TO the whole world. In
either case his judgment and counsel in re-
gard to this war are valueess, no matter
low much respect may be had for his Office.
In the face of all that Germany has done
putting aside for the nonce the question OF
responsibility for the wars beginning -neu-
trail judgment on the Pope's part is not neu-
trail, but BIASED; his suggestion is for moth
ing more nor less than a compromise.
This, as all the world knows-none better
than Germany-wou be decided German
victory and the beginning of another and
more terrible war This is weak move on
the Pope's part, but strong move for Ger
many; it will fail, because a righteous God,
not the Pope, rules this world.

New York Goes to War

The invisible war became visible for a
few hours yesterday morning, and New
York gave about as good an imitation of
enthusiasm as any croaker could ask to
see. The 69th Regiment-as it will al
ways be known to the city that loves and
admires its fighting men-took away with
it the memory of heartfelt cheers and a
grateful people, eager to back it to the
limit. For the first time, in a real sense,
New York went to war.
Heretofore curtain of mystery has been
set against all interest in our departing
soldiers. A consistent effort has appar-
emily been made to reduce the war to a
thing of blanks to fill out and boards to
appear before, plus anonymous regiments
arriving at unnamed ports. AS a result
the pessimists were presented with a
chance to cry APATHY" and to assert
that the country was not enthusiastic"
for the war. Just why nation should
be supposed to assemble on its highways
and jump up and down and shout over
nothing at all, these critics did not ex-
plain. The imputation remained, and all
the country could do on its side was to
perform the hard, uninteresting grind of
the warts Liberty Loan, its Red Cross.
its CONSUMPTION. This it has done with
a will.
The episode of the 69th should furnish
an example for the future. The good TO
the men and to the community is obvious.
There is no danger, at this late date in a
wearying war, of any cheap hullaballoo.
All that is asked is that the people be per-
mitted a chance to express their natural
emotions toward their bravest and best
men, setting out on the most heroic vent
ure of our time.

The Tribune Comment on the PaPal
Peace Terms Discussed

To the Editor of The Tribune.
Sir: May I thank you for your leader in
to-day's paper-"Nol" 1t voices the indg-
nant thought of all souls who care for right
eousness and see the stern demands OF JUS
tice above all mere expedencies and COM
promises with infamous crimes.
That the crimes of Germany and Turkey
in particular are on a scale so gigantic as
to throw all past infamies into the shade is
no reason why they should go unpublished
and even unrebuked, as the Pope's letter to
the world suggests. That scale OF cruelty
and savage barbarism only makes it more
imperatively the duty of the Allies to bring
these awful crimes to sternest judgment. The
letter of His Holiness disregards justice abb
solutely. All virtues are practically worth
less unless based on the fundamental virtue,
justice.
To accept the Pope's letter as basis for
peace would make of Christianity a cowardly
farce and disgrace Christendom forever 1t
is the most amazing thing that has yet come
upon a world more or less dazed by the Ger
man denials of every law of God and man
and every victory won in blood and anguish
for justice in this present world.

Toadstools
Fabre's Experiments on Behalf OF the
Frugal Housekeeper
, Editor of The Tribune,

To the Editor of The Tribune.
Sir: In YOUR issue of August Is one Of
your correspondents, under the heading, "A
Neglected Cheap Food" expresses the wish
that some philsnthropic scientist would push
the use of mushrooms and the many other
species of edible fungi.
A reference to the Souvenirs Entomolo-
gioues" Of j. II. Fabre at the article IN
sectes ct Champignons" will show that one
Of the greatest Of scientists has endeavored
to push the use not only of mushrooms, but
also of toadstools, as being, under proper con-
ditions. a nutritious and perfectly safe article
of human diet. He states that the most vio-
lentIy poisonous varieties or toadstools are
rendered innocuous if they are thoroughly
boiled for short time in water in which
= nincb of bicarbonate of soda is dissolved
and afterward rinsed in cold water-their
substance and flavor and even their aroma
are in no wav affected and they are then
ready to be dressed and served in the same
manner as mushrooms, from which they
cannot easily be distinguished.
Fabre says that from time immemorisl
toadstools. harmless or violently poisonous
have been gathered Unfortunately, boiled
and eaten with impunity by the peasants OF
Provence. where he lived, forming, in fact,
during their season, one of the chief staples
of daily food. At his own table they were
frequently served and enjoyed by himself,
his family and their guests.
Fabre gave this subject the patient and
scrupulous care with which he observed every
secret of nature and sums up his reason for
doing so as follows:
81 had in view not the epicure, but the
frugal man, the toiler in the fields above all,
and would consider myself repaid for my
persevering research could | in any degree
popularize this prudent Provencal recipe for
the cooking of toadstools that form such an
excellent food and agreeable addition TO the
daily ration of beans and potatoes, if only
one knows how to get over the difficulty of
having to distinguish between the harmless
and dangerous varieties" These words of
Fabrc required to me recently when on a
visit to the Jersey shore | saw the ground
under the pines thick with puff balls, some
nearly as large as melons. | asked one of
the poor, underfed natives why they did not
gather and eat them. "Oh, We amt going to
run no risks" he answered.
Now, have been told by an eminent Ameri-
can scientist that there is not single variety
Of duff ball in the United States that is
not perfectly good to eat, and | have often
eaten them myself. without the precaution
of preliminary boiling. since in their case
il is unnecessary, yet the hslf-starved Jersey
man did not dare. What waste, and what
a pity! NJ. WILLIS.
