The principals report for the sec
ond school month shows some inter
esting facts, especially when placed
in comparison with the report OF the
first month.
The total enrolment of the Forest
Park and Maple Grove schools at the
end OF the FIRST month was 1850. Dur
ing the second school month there
were twenty-nine new enrollments
making a total of 1879 pupils. or this
number only sixty-four came between
the ages OF fourteen and eighteen.
The report shows that the sittings
OF the Forest Park school almost equal
the enrolment. At present the build
ing has sittings for 1162 pupils and
has a total enrolment of about one
thousand.
During the second month 426 pupils
of the two schools had perfect attend
ance. or this number 1873 were boys
and 23S were girls. For the first
month there was a total OF 500 pupils
who were perfect In attendance. On
an average SO per cent OF the pupils
OF the Forest Park and Maple Grove
schools were in attendance at any one
time. The highest per cent OF attend
ance was achieved by the rooms
taught by the Misses Lynch and Lehn-
en-.
The hardness situation shows an in
crease. During the second month 141
boys and 80 girls were ,tardy. During
the. first month 81 boys and 90 girl,
we're tardy. The problem OF hardness
Is one to be solved in the main by the
boys and girls themselves who ought
to take pride In making the record Of
their school a good one. The record
OF the building depends upon the rec
ord OF the different rooms and the rec
ord OF each room depends upon the
record OF the individual pupils in the
rooms. During the first month two
rooms reported no cases Of hardness.
During the second month the best rec
ord was made by Miss Garvoy's room
which reported one case OF hardness

Enquiry"
New-York tribune., 1918-10-15
Why Women Vote
inquiry.

There are 414,760 women in New York
City who have registered in order to vote
at the coming election. That represents
az per cent Of the total registration in
Brooklyn, al per cent in Manhattan, AZ
per cent in The Bronx, 40 per cent in
Queens and 35 per cent in Richmond.
If anybody anywhere still doubts the
desire and readiness of women to vote
these figures will make interesting read
ing. Here in New York the issue is over
and settled and the participation Of
women in our elections is as completely
accepted as that of men.
Perhaps the shift, the complete en-
trance of women into their new duties,
might have come as rapidly had there
been no war But we think not. 1t is
the shift of women into their new labors,
into their broadened work for the ma
ton, that makes the ballot seem to many
who had least demanded it natural and
needful weapon.
There are, too, the rlatives of our
soldiers abroad. These men, living and
dead alike, are silenced. 1t is to the
everlasting credit of our state that their
mothers, their wives, their sisters, their
sweethearts, can represent them at the
polls in November.

Suicide

To the Editor of The Tribune
Sir: May protest through your columns
against the peace without victory toward
which seem heading? To offer the Huns
an armistice if they evacuate Allied terri
tory is for the Allies to commit suicide.
The very thing they want to do is to get
safely behind the Rhine with their NUM-
tions. There they can snap their fingers at
us, and hundreds of thousands of our
Allies and ourselves may be sacrificed in
vain.
| hear people say "Presdent Wilson is
going to make peace-our money won't be
needed" And others who have known it
was our war since 1914 say: Eve might as
we'll eat, drink and be merry, for if we
make q negotiated peace now the Huns
will take all we have ten years from now"
To deal with Germany now is to dicker
with a criminal still at large, condoning of
crime. Unconditional surrender. the gar
rlsoning of Germany and the delivery of the
chief criminals for judgment to teach others
of their brutal kind that it does not paw to
start such a war are the only terms to
grant the Hun. NJ NJ

To the Editor of The Tribune
Sir: The papers to-day contain many sug-
gestions about getting rid of the Kaiser
and the Hohenzollerns. Some suggest abb
dicaton, others exile and some decapita-

But Belgium did not resist Germany,
England did not come to the rescue of
France and Belgium and the United States
did not enter the war with the intention
merely of exiling the Kaiser or removing
the Hohenzollerns. Belgium resisted Ger

United States has entered the war, for the
purpose of destroying German militarlsm.

To the Editor of the Tribune.
Sir: The German idea is not dead, al.
though Germany may have to acknow edge
defeat. Such an acknowledgment will only
be temporary. The German people will
never believe. deep down in their hearts,
that they are defeated until their country
is invaded, their cities destroyed and their
leaders absolutely deposed and discredlted.
When their cherished idols lie shattered at
their feet the German people will at last
realize that they have been misled, that for
generations they have been poisoned with
a false, pernicious philosophy. Deep and
bitter will be their anger against their
fallen and false leaders.
Then. and only then, will there be real
victory for the Allies. Then. and onlv then
Will the German people be fit to enter with
all humility and repentance into the family
of nations. Then, and only then. should the

The Coward's Alibi

DR.. w. S. Solf. whose name is signed
to Germany's latest armistice note to
President Wilson, has taken it upon
himself to deny that in their retreats
the German armies "have purposely
and systematically devastated occupied
French territory" The fact of devasta-
tion is not and cannot denied The
Germans themselves boasted loudly
about the thoroughness with which
Hlndenburg razed the area within the
Noyon salient, over which he retired
from it in 1917.
According to the oily Dr. Solf the
Allied publics have simply failed to
grasp the psychology of the German
devastatons. 1t all depends on the very
way you look at such things. What a
different face is put on the German
mania for incendiarism and pillage when
you say, as DR.. Solf does, "The work
of destruction in our retreat, as in every
operation of retirement in history. was
unavoidable, and has everywhere been
restricted to measures of really in
dispensable harshness, which are in
tended to prevent retiring army for
leaving in the hand of the enemy
bases which, to a great extent, are of Il
military character"
If the Germans in France left behind
"bases," they didn't leave behind any
thing else. They abducted all the in
habltants except the very young and
very old, condemning them to forced
labor They burned and blew up cities,
towns and hamets. They carried away
clothing, furniture and domestic uten-
sils, down to the last kitchen pan or
metal door knob. They sacked and
burglarized, and what they could no,
haul away they wantonly destroyed.
This is the Germany which, in the
person of her present Secretary of State
for Foreign Affairs, pleads innocence.
Every smoking town in Northern
France, pillaged and denuded of popu-
lation, bears eloquent testimony to the
malice" of this attempt to blacken the
reputation of German miltarism. To
the German mind--even to the mind of
professed Liberal like DR.. Solf-no
outrage which brutalized German officers
and soldiers may commit cannot but be
palliated by the glib plea of military
necessity"
Military necessity" A soul-saving
excuse
But the German writhes in spite Of
all his assertion of exemplary behavior
in France, when he thinks what his own
kind of military necessity" would mean
if German territory were ever invaded
That is why DR.. Solf and his country
men are now willing to bid recklessly
for peace. No vault of high heaven
would be spacious enough to contain
the German uproar Of Indignation and
the German whining for mercy. should
the Allies indulge in a few measures
of really indispensable harshness" across
the Rhine.
