RECRUITS ARE SCARCE

Dr. Nolan Stewart captain of the Mississippi Red Cross Ambulance com pany, No. 39, reports that he is having hard time securing volunteers for this branch of the service. He needed 119 men, and has not half that number. Many of those who applied for enlistment two months ago have changed their minds. thinking perhaps that they will not be drafted. Captain Stewart has re- celved orders from Surgeon General Cor gas asking him to hurry up, and telling him that in the event he does not re- ceive the number of men required in few days he will be sent to Camp Pike anyhow, and his ranks filled there.

Fusion Prospects

Fusion against Tammany this fall was
brought much nearer by Thursdays con-
ference. The Republican organizations in
Manhattan, The Bronx and Queens have
now openly declared for Mayor Mitchell.
Every other element represented in the
conference is strongly for the Mayors re-
nomination. The Republican organiza-
tions in Kings and Richmond are still
holding nloof. But their opposition can
probably be overcome. 1t represents per-
sonal hostility to the Mayor, rather than
hostility to the Fusion programme.
An auti-Tammany Fusion is more than
ever desirable this year. Tammany is the
enemy which must first be destroyed be-
fore the habit of good government here
can become permanent. Many competent
po,iticians believe that the Tammany or
canization. now only a shadow Of what II
vscd to be under Kelly and Croker, can
not survive another four years Of semi
starvation. If its candidates for city
Offices are defeated next fall, it will begin
10 disintegrate, according to the judgment
Of many of those who study local politics
from the inside. In that case there might
be room here for the creation Of new
Democratic organization, more responsive
to public opinion and shorn Of those pred
atory characteristics which have made
Tammany famous-or Infamous.
The Tribune believes that there should
be a complete and triumphant Fusion this
year. It believes that Mayor Mitchell
ought to run again, standing on the record
of efficient government and high civic and
patriotic leadership which he has made.
Give Tammany no quarter" should be the
motto of all the elements here which are
interested in a continuance Of sound ad-
ministration. Mayor Mitchell should have
a second term. He has more than
earned it
New-York tribune., 1917-07-14

past. He has been a frank and untiring
critic of many details of naval administra-
ton In Great Britain, and there is no doubt
that his penetrating articles in Land and
Water" were largely. instrumental in pre-
cipitating the recent reorganization at
Whitehall. No naval critic Of the press
has aimed so persistently and logically at
definite reforms, and none certainly has
enlisted so large a measure Of professional
support.
To admit that he has powerful oppo-
nents is only 10 say that his opinions are
clear-cut on policies which he holds to be
essential. and that in dealing with abuses,
whether attributable to the weakness of
individuals or to defects inherent in an i'll
conceived system, he has always gone
ahead fearlessly and straight to the point.
Those who disagree most violently with
him must still confess that Mr.. Pollen is
never mere carper, but invariably a
ciear-headed and constructive critic. His
estimate Of the problem that confronts the
country will therefore be considered with
peculiar interest by American readers.

Mustard Greens
Neglected Native Vegetable Declared
To Be a Dclectable Dish

To the Editor of The Tribune.
Sir: The writer. when in California recent
Is. had an opportunity Of becoming acquaint-
ed with their popular mustard green's
Such a favorite is this delectable dish that
a feature is made of it in season in city res
taurants even, where it is served on call as
long as the season lasts.
The wild mustard from which this dish is
made Is the Brassica nigra, a native Of Eu-
rope and Asia, and now naturalzed in Cali
fornia, where it occupies roadsides and neg
locted fields in wild profuson It covers
them with such an airy growth OF golden
flowers and pale green leaves to the height
of ones head that you are sure to stop and
admire the scene when you behold it for the
first time. To the land owner who would
devote his land TO more profitable use it is
a despsed weed, difficult to eradicate.
This plant is also naturalzed in places in
the Eastern states Noticing its close affin-
ity to our Eastern wild mustard, or charlock
(Brassica arvensis), which is much more
abundant than the other in this part of the
country, resolved recently to try a mess Of
charlock greens, and forthwith gathered an
armful for the purpose. We excluded the
tough stalks and older bottom leaves, using
the rest-the tender leaves. shoots, flowers,
buds and the young seed pods. We then pro-
ceeded as if it were spinach, and when the
dish was served it was found to be quite
the equal Of spinach or any other greens we
had ever eaten.
With our fields now aglow with waving
charlock, there is no reason why any one who
can get into the country almost anywhere
should 20 hungry nowadays for greens, or
should neglect to can some for winter use.
The more you gather the better the farmer
will like it, provided you do not tramp down
his grain in getting it. R. B. HOUGH.

From the Comforts Committee

To the Editor Of The Tribune
Sir: In answer 10 your correspondent who
complains that she was unable TO obtain
free wool from the comforts committee Of
the Navy League, 500 Fifth Avenue, | would
like to submit the following:
IL does not seem TO be generally known
that the work Of the comforts committee is
carried on by donations which are solicited,
and also from the sale of wool We are sup
plying wool to the public at the lowest figure
possible in order that every person may be
able "to DO her bi,' for the navy.
Our records show from the opening Of our
headquarters, on April II, to June 80, that
the committee has distributed s3,6i790 worth
Of wool free 20 kuitters who were willing 20
work but could not afford 70 buy. Donations
are earnestly solicited for this purpose, as
it is only through the generosity OF the pub
lie that we are able TO maintain a free wool
fund.
Miss May Burroughs. assistant secretary,
is in charge Of the free wool fund, and will
receive applicants and distribute free wool
each Wednesday from $3.50 a. m. until 4:3O
?. m, as far as our fund allows. 1t is dis
tributed with the understanding that the ap-
plicant cannot afford to purchase. We are
selling wool to tho general public at 50 n
pound.
In justice to tho Society women" who were
50 criticised, it would, no doubt. interest the
public 20 know that their labor represents

To the Editor of The Tribune
Sir: Those of US who do not 60 10 the
front. should do the best within our power
70 make the "Teddies" happy. Nothing is
more welcome to soldiers, especially those
as far from home as ours, as news from
home. Not all the "boys" arc subscribers to
papers, and the lot of those who are not
would be considerably enlivened by gifts Of
reading matter from those who stay at home.
| suggest in connection with this a similar
arrangement rs that which obtains in Eng
land.
All reader who wishes to send papers or
periodicals TO the Tommies has to do is TO
hand them in at General Postofice or any
branch, whence they will be dispatched to
the front with no charge whatever.
Such an arrangement obtaining over here
would immensely stimulate those readers
who would like to help, but who would other
wise be deferred by the amount Of trouble
and postage this form Of interest in the
fighting man would entail.

Laws Of Trade
Why Ship Owners Cannot Lower
Prices Below Normal Market

To the Editor Of The Tribune.
Sir I have not made a study Of political
economy or of the laws of trade. so il is
probably my own ignorance that causes sur
prise at some of the statements or implica-
tions in the Presidents latest proclamation.
Perhaps you can make the matter clearer TO
me.
had supposed that the present high rate
Of ocean freghts was due, not to any COM
bnation of ship owners, but to the circum-
stance that because of the great number Of
vessels which have been sunk the supply OF
cargo space was far short Of the demand.
which resulted in the reduced space being
taken by the cargo which could pay the
highest price This is the effect of the law
of supply and demand, which, like all natural
laws is inexorable. There is an excellent
essay by the late John Fske dealing with
this law and efforts to avoid it; I do not
remember the title. IL discusses two fam
ines in India and the different ways N which
he government handled them.
As to the implied remedy. Take the case
of a patriotic American ship owner, who be-
fore the war has been getting 10 shillings a
unit Of weight or space. He receives two
.applcatons Tor MS snip for voyage, or 4
period of time, one 35 shillings, the other 40
shillngs. To these he replies: Il used to
make fair profit at 10 shllings. Now, in
view Of the increased cost of wages, coal.
insurance, etc, must charge IS shillings
to make the same profit In response to the
appeal made to my patriotism, | will take
no greater profit, and therefore the first
conner of you two may have the ship for
such voyage or such time at such price"
The first conner, of course, accepts the offer.
and thereupon promptly takes on cargo at
40 or 80 shillings. He may be a Scandina-
Wan or Dutchman or Spaniard who thus
gathers in a handsome war profit, which is
not subject TO United States income tax on
sliding scale, which might absorb all unrea-
sonable excess, and is deaf to any appeals
to invest itself in Liberty loans or American
Red Cross contributions

Semblancesp ?

Sir: Mr.. Ryerson A. Jennings an officer OF
the Mems League Of Pennsylvania for Wom-
en- Suffrage, writes to The Tribune defend
ing the White House pickets and characteriz-
ing men who condemn the miitancy Of wom-
en- as mot really men-only semblance.'
Does Mr.. Jennings consider the following
opponents of woman suffrage as real men or
merely "semblances"? Cardinal Gibbons,
Lyman Abbott, Rabbi Silverman Senator
Henry Cabot Lodge, Judge Edgar NJ. Cullen,
former Chief Justice Court of Appeals, New
York State; Elihu Root, Talcott Williams,
ex-President Grover Cleveland Henry l..
Stimson, George w. Wickersham, Henry A.
Wise Wood DR.. Charles l.. Dana. Professor
William T. Sedgwick, Hon. Charles r. Fair
child, Everett 2. Wheeler, Ezra 2. Prentice
and Senator James W. Wadsworth, jr.
The total majorities poled against woman
outrage in the last four years amount to
i,17S,957. Does Mr.. Jennings consider the
voters of those sixteen states really men,
or only semblance' Of men?
The combined majorities favoring woman
suffrage in the eleven duplicate suffrage
states polled in forty-six years, arc 96,S6l
Obviously Mr.. Jennings believes that the
vast majority of American men are mot
really men-only a semblance."
Pacifsts, anarchists, !. w. W.'s. radical
socialists, feminists, slackers clinging TO
"votes for women" as their salvation, are,
according 10 Mr.. Jennings, the "realest men"
we've got. Some of US pin our faith on a
very different type of American man.
