THE SAILOR WITH A GIRL
Policewomen Should Discriminate in
Their Professional Activities.

To THE EDITOR OF THE SuS---Str: Un-
der date of December wrote a
letter TO you which was published In
TIE SCN OF December 10 which called
attention TO the work carried on by the
polIcewomen of the greater city. While
looking over THE SUN this morning I
noticed that a letter from Genevieve
Allen Is published unfolding the work
Of these pollcewomen and relating some
experiences that she herself Witnessed.
Now I wish to say that Miss Allen
may be perfectly right in her view, ana
the girls she has reference TO in her
letter might have been saved from be-
ing led astrsy, but wish to call her at
tention to the fact that my letter did not
refer TO sailors who pick up girls, as
the saying goes
Aiy letter refers to sailors who have
known girls for some time and who
after taking the girls to dance or
show are returning homo and while en-
route to the girls homo have been
stopped by these policewomen. Many
cases have been brought to my atten-
ton of boys under my supervision who
have been stopped while on their way
home from q dance with girls whom
they have been keeping company with
for some time.
! agree with Miss Ailen that these
pollcewomen are doing wonderful work,
but think some OF them are taking Il
upon themselves to do extra work when
they stop young ladies who are In the
company OF sailors think It per-
fectly proper for these policewomen 10
caution girls who are inclined TO firt.
especially after certain hours at night,
when theso girls should not be out un.
accompanied
My criticism ot these policewomen is
not unjust. as stated by Miss Allen,
because only refer to cases where
these policewomen interfere with girls
who are in the company OF sailors after
having had the pleasure to be with them
at the theatre or n dance, and not to
girls being picked mp.
II my letter had been properly inter
preted by Miss Allen she would no;
have stated that was crlt!cislng the
good work OF the policewomen. because
I admire the splendid work done by
these women in the cases stated in her
letter.
Now II Miss Allen Is so much IN
terested in this affair wish she would
| answer my questions as put forth in
my first letter, namely, "In your candid
opinion do YOU think that this Is the
proper thing TO do toward boys who
when n national emergency arose, were
| patriotic enough to give their services
TO their country? Do you think these
boys. many Of whom have given their
l!ves for their country. should be in
terfored with when they rate liberty and
deserve a little PLEASURE"
Now Miss Allen, l do not refer "a
girls who have been picked up by
eailors hut TO girls who have been goinp
with the same sailors for many
months. JouS r. WHITE.

why the Red Cross Wants Members

This note, hastily scrubbed on the
back Of a "yerboten" order left by
the Austrlans in their retirement
from town Of northern Italy, has
been received from an American
woman representing the Red Cross
in the devastated region of Italy:
Il don't know when 1 shall get q
chance TO write: probably never It's
all too big TO write anyway. I have
Just had a few minutes rest and seep
by dropping down upon a bed vacated
by an Austrian and not yet fairly cold.
I have lost my voice and am nearly
dead--have been working sixteen hours
a day--but nothing has been SO worth
while. We havo FIVE camions with food /;
then. must await supplies. We are feed
ing 500 people a day, mostly milk and
fatA The town has not suffered greatly
except for the lack Of food. But. oh
GoD. the miserably helpless babies chill
dren and aged people, the great number
Of cases OF individual suffering"
The necessity for nd is perhaps
not greater in northern Italy than
in other sections devastated by war,
northern France, Belgium, Serbia and
the Balkans. Neither is the work
which this American woman has been
doing exceptional; hundreds of other
American men and women have been
laboring under the same severe pres
sure and have been enduring the same
hardships.
What the American Red Cross Is
asking this week Of every man,
woman and child Is to join the So
eiety. that Its workers may know their
fellow Americans support Thorn with
sympathy and confidence as we'll as
with money.

and in 1917 headed n counter revo-
luton In which he displaced MA
CHADo and assumed the Presidency
Professionally, to which he was sub
sequently elected. He appears always
to have been earnest in his support of
the Allied cause against Germany.
1t must be admitted that the
changes in the executive Office have
been too frequent to be favorable to
the cause Of republicanism in Portu-
gal, A great liberal leader whom the
people will keep in power throughout
the Presidential term is what the
country needs most just now. Pre-
cisely how large Is the expeditionary
force which Portugal contributed to
the war has not been officially dis
closed. There was recently some crit
icism concerning the conduct of the
Portuguese contingent In one OF the
battles, which, however, has called
forth vigorous denials from those who
ought TO be well informed. The only
official mention of the soldiers of Por-
tugal which has happened TO come to
our notice Is contained in a long des-
patch from Field Marshal Sir DOUG
LAS HAIa, printed In the London
Times on October IS, where he says:
Il desire also TO express my appreci-
alton of the services rendered by the
Portuguese troops who had held sec
tor Of my front continuously Throughout,
the winter months and were called upon
to Withstand the assault Of greatly su-
perlor forces
This does not look as though the
Portuguese were derelict in duty.
All liberty loving Americans will
wish we'll to the good people Of the
young republic during their present
troublous times.

and killed by an assassin in Lisbon

istence on October s. 1910, In the rev.
olution which brought about the down
fall of King MANoEL and his flight
to Gibraltar on the royal yacht. The

The republican movement In Portu-
gni which resulted in the overthrow
Of the monarchy was chiefly caused
by the teachings and efforts OF the
eo-called "Coimbra school," a coterie
Of political leaders and men of let
ters connected with the old university
at Coimbra, the ancient capital, where
a spirit of nationalism has prevailed
ever since the institution was secular
lied about the middle of the eight
zenith century, when it was wholly
withdrawn from the control Of the
| Church.
Or. THEoPHILE BRAGA, the first
President and subsequently President
ad interim, belonged to this school.
He was a poet and scholar, who is
said to have done more than any
other man Of his time to make the
| national literature and folk lore of
Portugal known 10 the outside world.
In poem on the role Of young Portu-
gal in the worlds history he wrote:
And with what arms shall Portugal en-
gage.
SO little as she Is in such great feAtsf
They call on her to play a leading part
! Who know that in the LusitaniA heart
Love beats!"
FROM 1911 to 1915 Or. MASoEr. NJ
ARKIJGA was President. He also rose
into prominence as member of the
CoimBrn school. He had been profess
sor OF mathematics at Coimbra and
OF English Mt Lisbon. An aristocrat
by birth and humane and tolerant by
nature, the perplexities of the world
war were too much for him in his
old age, and he was succeeded in the
Presidency by DIR. BERNARDINo Ma.
cHADo in August, 1915.
MACHADo was the leader of the
Young Portugal movement among the
junior members of the Coimbra school.
He was a man of high character, a
statesman, diplomat and courteous
man of the world; and under his
Presidency the German propaganda
in Portugal was overcome and Portu,
the Entente Allies.
The President who has just been
Killed, SIDoNIo PAEs, was the Portu.
guese Minister at Berlin during the
early part Of the war. He also had
been member Of the faculty OF the
university Mt Colmbra. Resignine
his mission in 1916, he returned to
Portugal, entered the military service
