A Shocking Advertisement

To the Editor OF The Tribune.
Sir: | have been profoundly shocked by
the advertisement in The Tribune this morn
ing. The Emergency Peace Federation calls
on tho Mothers, daughters and wives Of
men," saying, Have you no hearts? Have
you no eyes? Have you no voice :! and tneh
asks them to keep America out of war!
What is this spirit we are of? Have we
no eyes for our suffering fellows in Europe,
but only for ourselves? Have we no hearts
for the Young girls of France? Have we no
voice for the workmen in Belgium who are
being sent into slavery? Have we no COM
passion for the unspeakable horrors OF Ar
menia? Do we care nothing at all II only
our men remain unscathed if only our hearts
are not wrung?
The West is not craven | am sure of IT..
II ia only blind Nevertheless, they are great
" TO blame for ignoring the issues OF this
war as they have. They have said IN effect;
I'VE are not our brothers keeper; 1t Is not
our affair" And for this wilful blindness
history and the world conscience will cal
them 70 account.
II is time for the women Of America 70
take up their share of the worlds burden
and TO say to the men OF their families: GO,
and God be with you, We will hold the lines

good work in your paper that earnestly

the way that mothers and nurses let the sun
shine in the eyes Of The little ones while
keeping them out in the air.

OF coming from home of thoughtful par

Truth Via Aeroplane
Put Facts Before German People by
Dropping Newspapers

To the Editor of The Tribune.
Sir: Realizing that no power on earth can
90 more than the truth, why not use it to
win the war? The greatest distribution
agency is the press. and the aeroplane has
proved its ability to reach any land.
| suggest that small newspaper be pub
lished in German stating the exact truth
about the condition of the world and distrib-
uted by our aeroplanes to the soldiers in the
trenches and on the battlefield Let them fly
over the cities and villages throughout Ger
many and Austria; let the wind be the mes
senger; give them the news that England Is
not starving and that France has not only
food. but Of the best quality. Tell them all
Of the fall Of the Russian monarchy and
the republic formed and OF the breaking of Of
relations with China. Tell them about
America, Germany's best friend, being forced
away from them on account Of the murder
Gus acts on land and that is not war
but murder. Tell them how Americas bill
ions will be on call for Allied governments
so as TO assure the successful outcome Of
this gigantic struggle A publication with
truth in its every statement properly crcu-
lated will do more than billions of dollars
spent on war materials. No submarine cam
paign can be continued when the people at
home know that they are playing losing
gsme.
Extend 10 the good.German people the hand
Of brotherly love- tell the German what his
brothers and sisters are saying in America,
and the lettering monarchy will not live long
after this truth is known and Prussianism
will be no more. The soldiers in the trenches
are waiting for our message. they are hun
gering for the truthful news, and If they
have been msled by their leaders our work
will accomplish its purpose. Let US bonn

Taxpayers Waking Up

No outlander can pretend to say whether
the Brooklyn Civic Club accurately repre-
sents the sentiment Of that borough, but it
is interesting to note that that organiza-
ton voted down an attempt to indorse Sen
ator Cullen's so-called borough autonomy
bill. This measure would compel all the
important city departments to keep branch
offices in Brooklyn in charge of deputies
who would have practically complete au-
thorty over department matters affecting
q committee report favoring the measure
was not that borough autonomy was un-
desirable, but that increased taxes were.
1t is encouraging to find such views eX-
pressed in the borough across the Bridge,
where a vigorous and continuous effort on
the part of certain leaders and politicians
to multiply city bureaus and at all costs to
continue those in existence has been made
for many months. The purpose of the
"centralization" policy of the Mitchell add
ministration has not been 70 deprive any
section of the city Of proper and beneficial
control Of it's own affairs, its critics TO the
contrary notwithstanding. It has been. and
is, primarily an endeavor TO cut out useless
Jobs and useless expense, TO save money

efficiency. Naturally, such a policy.

Office holders and their political superiors.
It appears, however, that some OF the bur
den bearers have acquired a clear view
Of the issue.

members Of the Civic Club. They arc

The American Women Ready

To the Editor Of The Tribune
Sir: A charming singer has recently de-
clared that she would shoot her son III she
had onel before letting him go to war. and
she calls upon the mothers of all countries.
America inc uded. TO kill their sons before
letting them go to a battlefield
wonder what the heroic mothers OF
France and England, of Italy and Germany.
think Of such a statement Those immortal
mothers who have seen their sons return
from the battlefield covered with glory and
honors-and those other mothers whose
hearts are bleeding with their sons WHO lie
dead unbured in field Of carnage and
idealism!
There are many Of us American women
who hope they will not take Nine. Gluck's
statement as the sentiment Of American
womanhood God keep US from war" is cur
duplication. but II it must come il will find
the real American woman ready TO encour-
they our sons, our husbands. fathers or
brothers--or just some other womens men!
War has always been, and il will take a
greater power than that OF those women
who don't want their sons to fight to pre-
vent war. II seems 70 me woman's greatest
mission to-day is to prepare the souls of
her sons 10 meet calamity not run from IL

Pacihsts Who Hinder Recruiting

To the Editor of The Tribune
Sir: The articles published in your paper
regarding the hindering of recruiting work
by pacifsts fairly make my blood boil with
indignation.
How any person can profess to honor the
American flag and proclaim himself an Amer
lean while acting in direct opposition to the
governments efforts TO enlist needed men is
astoundingly outrageous, almost unbelieva-
Bile. How dare they 90 to the very door of
the recruiting stations 20 dissuade young
men from enlistng? 1t seems 10 me that
there should be a boundary line drawn to
limit and prevent any paciist from resorting
20 such a scandaIous extreme. The enlist
ments will not prevent or make war for US

HATCH GEESE IN INCUBATOR
Doubtful Whether They Would Do
Well In Breeders, Therefore II IL
Not Often Tried.

Goose eggs can be successfully
Matched in incubators, but 1t is not q
common practice, because ii is doubt
fuI whether they would do well raised
IN brOoders.
Either geese or hens are commonly
used for Matching and rearing pur-
poses If the eggs are Matched by
hens OF incubatOrS, il would be adj
visabIe to add moisture to the eggs
during the first week by sprinkling
the eggs or nests with warm water
From four to six eggs are usually
placed under a hen. and from ten TO
thirteen eggs under q goose
If Matched by hens, the hen should
be kept confined, and goslings not al
lowed to go into the water, especially
if the water is cold. To be assured
of success in raising gOslings, they
should not be Matched until the grass
pasture is fairly good, as grass is
their chief diet.
IN addition to that they should be
fed any OF the mashes recommended
for chickens or goslings- Special care
should be taken in Seeing that all OF
the feed is cleaned up at each meal
as leftover food is very often source

FLYING JOB OF YOUNG MEN

From leakage Of petrol spray the

mOnoxide and dioxide-may cause
headache, drowsiness and malaise,
says writer in the Lancet, discussing
diseases familiar to airmen- The rare
fed air at great elevations may in
duce the symptoms well known in
bal1oonists, and Wells refers to a case
of frostbite in an airman who had
been exposed to 81 degrees Of frost at
an elevation of 1900 feet. Psychas-
thenic symptoms-namely, loss of self
confidence and the resulting mental
worry (aerosthenia)-are not uncom-
mon, and prove that the victim has
mistaken his sphere of activity.
Flying is undoubtedly the Job Of a
young man under thirty years Of age,
and not every young man is tempera-
mentally or physically fitted to carry
it through. Perfect eyesight is neces-
sary to insure safe landing, correction
with glasses being not without its
dangers; perfect hearing is essential
to detect the first indications Of en-
CINE defect, and free movement Of
the joints Of the lower limbs, to con-
