THE SPENDER IN FRANCE.
WIN He Destroy the French Peoples
New Impression Of Americana

To THE EDITOR OF THE SrN-Sir. Be-
fore August, 1914. there was a saying
in France that none but Americans and
fools travel first class" Newly rich
and newly wed went across in a serene
belief that the more they displayed
money the more they impressed the
French; which was true. but not as
they figured. They paved the first class
compartments with gold and good In
tentions' from their own newly rich
points OF view. And as soon as they
once disembarked on the station plat
form every French man and woman who
had been within radius on the train got
busy with remarks
Since then a million OF Americans
with less money and more brains have
impressed the French. from Apremont
in April TO Sedan in November.
To-day Washington wires tell that
100000 Americans have asked for per-
mission to sail across the ocean. How
many of these will have the old vulgar
and disgusting notion that the moro
money they spend the more important
they are? How many will seek, how
ever Internationally. to remove from
the grateful French the new impression
and TO restore the old?

parts Of the country are a very small

be given than New York. This great
State has n population Of about r.
100000. II has long been the fnan-
cial centre Of the United States, and
at present perhaps It Is the financial

Its wealth by the latest census re-

cHILDLESS NEW YORK.
Deductions Of o Home Hunting Naval
Officer.

To THE EDITOR OF THE SuN-Sir: A
naval officer detailed to New York, where
I have brought my wife and our three
children, / have read with almost throb-
bling satisfaction tho letters sent to you
by an army officer and again by an army
officers wife. Like them, my wife and
have been refused an apartment because
we had children The remarkable cir
cumstance in our case was that the
lessee of the furnished apartment was
willing, but could not get permission from
her landlord to suitcase to US.
The people Of New York city, It seems
have very little sympathy for children.
The preference here appears to be for the
dog. There are many advantages In hav-
ing dogs rather than children. 1t doesn't
hurt to get a dog, and you can get II
when you want IL, too. and no more than
you want. Dogs are more lovable. sup
pose, and then IL they become nuisance
you can poison them.
In the neishborhood where We were
refused the apartment there are q
thousand dogs In apartments. Now
am as sympathetic somehow or other
with dogs as New Workers. are with chill
dren. Picture the vesper hour in that
neighborhood. Out of the marble CORR
doris come a host of well dressed women
with their dogs, woolly dogs, pug dogs
curly dogs, froggy dogs, dogs In sweat.
ers. dogs In lace. And these well dressed
ladies' in high heels stand sympathetic
cally by at the end Of the leash which
tugs them toward the corner or gutter
Bah these are the ladies evidently who
prejudice landlords against children.
We have two girls and little boy
We are training the boy to like all manly
things He plays airplane by the day
and hope will pilot one in his time. The
other two children are little girls. Is il
necessary to add that L am teaching
them TO dislike dogs? U. s. N. X. F.

The latest accounts of the sinking
Of the steamship Lucia, which went to
the bottom after being torpedoed by
German submarine. give a different
aspect to the practicability Of the
buoyancy boxes with which she was
equipped. The early reports were
taken to mean that these had failed
to function, and that the principle. on
which they were installed had been
proved to be inappllcable to vessels of
her size.
1t is now asserted, however, that
the Lucia survived the torpedo. and
did not go to the bottom because of
the injuries inflicted by 1t. What
happened was that a deck load OF
army trucks broke loose from their
lashings in storm. and pounded the
ship to pieces. Once out Of control,
these trucks. according to this report,
knocked the Lucia to bits, finally re-
ducing her to such state she could
not remain afoat. She sank, the VIC
tim Of this accident, not the prey of
German sea snake.
The complete official account OF the
loss Of the Lucia will be awaited with
the greatest interest, because the ap-
planes Installed in her might easily
be found valuable in the MERCHANT
marine, and If they did save her from
sinking when she was torpedoed
every shipper and every traveller as
well as all marine architects will be
anxious to know Il.

THE GRAND FLEET.
Let Its Contribution to Victory Never
Be Forgotten.

Te the EDITOR OF THE SCN-Str: The
one thing above all others that stands
out a. a clear cut silhouette in the sky
of past events is the silent, powerful
work of the British grand fleet. That
fleet, REINFORCED by OUT own ships, sealed
the doom OF Teutonic autocracy.
Yet the work Of that feet will never
be appreciated by the great mass OF
newspaper readers. They will never real
ize the persistency and the doggedness
by which this monotonous blockade was
kept up night and day for nearly four
long years without relaxation.
Had II not been for this fleet the Ger
mans might have held out fighting for
an indefinite time. Therefore all hail
the British sailors and our own blue
Jackets They upheld that imperishable
tradition of the naval service and proved
themselves the Nemesis OF Germany.
In the long dark stormy nights Of
the North Sea these men never relaxed
the vigilance of the blockade. With
decks, guns and turets ice covered, with
lights doused and with all aids % navi-
CATION blotted from sight, these sail
ors stuck to 1t in a manner that cannot
fail 10 command tho admiration Of all
fair minded men.
In giving credit where credit u due
the historians of the great war will do
we'll to remember the work OF that feet
which touched the German in his most
vulnerable spot. his stomach, and made
him throw up his hands

Both Houses Of Congress announce
their infiexible determination SO cut
in half for the next fiscal year the
appropriations that pay the swarms
Of Federal Office holders. But the
next fiscal year does not begin until
July 1. 1919. There is still left of the
present fiscal year more than seven
months. The axe should NOT be held
suspended during the next seven
months. 1t should swing to-day.
Several weeks ago we had Senator
MARTINS word for it that Washing
ton was infested and the whole coun-
try burdened with absolutely useless
clerks and other officials drawing
Government pay, doing nothing for
it, able to do nothing for 1t If they
wanted to because there was nothing
for them to do. Senator MARTIN is a
Democrat. He is Chairman of the
Committee on Appropriations in the
upper branch OF Congress. He is the
lender Of his party in the Senate. I,
was so important a figure in the Gov
ernmeAt who declared that there werl
then and had been tens of thousands
of such useless drawers of Govern
ment pay at the expense of the over.
loaded taxpayers.
Now Items Of thousands" must
mean numerous groups o. 10000 each
If Senator MARTINS tens of thou,
sands count up to $4,000, probably
their pay would average in the neigh
borhood Of at least $1,000 a year. Ar
average of $1,000 a year for $4,000
utterly useless office-holders In Gov
eminent bureaus would amount to q
bill for the overloaded taxpayers OF
$1o0,000,000 year. If they number
no more than 25,000-and certainly
such a figure does not fittingly de-
scribe Senator MABTIN's tens OF
thousands"-still the taxpayers
money being thrown away on thl;
useless tribe would amount to $50
100000 a year-in round numbers
$1,0O0,000 a week.
Why wait seven months to separate
Senator MARTINS tens OF thousand.
of useless bureaucrats from the Gov
eminent payroll? Why wait sever
days or seven minutes? Off with thei.
useless heads!
