China's Alsace-Lorraine

To the Editor of The Tribune.
Sir: Kiao Chou, with the harbor Of Using
Tao, dominating Shantung, one Of the rich
est provinces of China, is China's right arm,
without which she cannot work out her
salvation. The port was rented unde,
duress to Germany for ninety-nine years.
The agreement of May 25. 1915, by which
Japan was given the concession also was
signed by China under duress. Kiao-Chou
IS the Alsace-Lorraine Of the Orient.
The bay of Kiao- Chou will give Japan the
door to and from China Japan will control
the trade of China. Japan VII control
China's relations with other nations Japan
VIII dictate customs duties and regulate
prices. Japan will dominate the province
of Shantung, with its 4000o,o00 inhabitants
and through the system Of railways leading
to the interior will dominate Chinese in
dustry and trade
In other words, if the peace conference
agrees to Japan's demands. China will be-
come in effect a Japanese colony Japsns
insistence upon having Kiao- Chou is there
fore not only unjust and inequitable, but Is
beyond understanding.

tered into under duress are considered void

How the Italians Feel

While President Wilson was in Rome
representatives Of Fiume, Spalato and
the principal cities of Dalmatia were
also there. AS their words are quoted by
Rachel Perry in a letter to The Nev Re-
public, the spokesmen Of Fiume said:
We have come to you, sons of that
Rome which is eternal mistress of justice
and truth, bearing with us the very soul
OF our Fiume. 1t Is Fiume herself who
speaks from my mouth-Fiume whom a
single longing consumes, the longing for
Italy! We tremble at the thought that
others can decide our fate when we are
Italians and claim the right to dispose Of
ourselves"
From Spalato the message was:
For thirty years, alone, unaided al
most forgotten, we have struggled to pre-
serve for Italy her Spalato Italian. How
often we had to repress our feelings
10 preserve for Italy her sacred relics!
tand can Italy have the heart to spurn
these relics to-day? Gentlemen, Spalato
was never Croatian city, If our very
determination could add to the glory Of
italy we would resign ourselves and say,
BLESSED be 1taly! But how can we to-
day make thinkable the question, Must
Italian Spalato become Croatan city as
consequence Of italian victory? Mol
Inc Fact of London must be strengthened

Another Joke on the Tenant

To the Editor OF The Tribune.
Sir: 1 noticed yesterday in an editorial
IN Inc Tribune on our new state tax bill
that you say the real estate interests are
the only gamers by this law-gaining $780,
100000
Isn't this tax bill typical Of every tax
bill we pass? Every one is crying for
lower rents. The only. way to get lower
rents is to build more houses. The reason
why more houses are not built is because
everything necessary for house building is
30 high; therefore, to encourage the
builders. we lower the tax on land values,
which means the selling price of land is
increased. What is this, joke or Grass
stupidity? JOHN J. HOPPER.

Foch on German Generalship

MATS1al OCn Is the ur6C soldier or
our day. He will have a place among
the great soldiers Of all time. His opin-
ion of the professional capacity of the
German military leaders is of great in
terest to those who want to get an in
telligent understanding of the strategy
of the war.
The marshal says that the Germans
never produced general of the capacity
Of the elder Moltke. Nobody is likely to
dissent from that Judgment The elder
Moltke had the touch of genius. He
founded the modern German military
school. In this war the German General
Staff merely attempted to apply the body
Of doctrine which it inherited from him.
The staff tradition had also stamped out
originality. German military conceptions
had become rigid. There were naturally
in 1914-'18 many imitators of the elder
Moltke. But there was no second Moltke.
The younger Moltke was little more
than name. He was courtier
rather than soldier. He filled in at
General Staff headquarters because his
pleasingly negative temperament ap-
pealed to William II, who wanted no
men of virile and independent character
about him. Moltke the younger tried to
execute a plan Of campaign bequeathed
to him through Count Schlieffen. 1t
looked promising at first-due to faulty
French concentrations and operations at
the beginning Of The war. But it went
to pieces at the first Marne. 1t was not
the junior Moltke's fault that the
Schlieffen development scheme failed.
But he was made a scapegoat.
Foch says Of him: "He was devoted
to the idea of outfanking. 1t was his
stock man@uvre." Yet he was himself
actually outf1anked east Of Paris.
Falkenhayn had the sound idea of 60
ing east and defeating Russia. He Grip
pied the Russian giant in one campaign,
and then turned south and conquered
Serbia, Montenegro and Albania. But
he wouldn't complete his easy and profit
able task in the east He came back
to the west front in 1916 and lost the
Battle of Verdun-the completest Ger
man failure of the war That finished
Falkenhayn. Foch says Of him that CHS
method was to crush the small allies
first"-and that this method "led to moth
ing big"
Ludendorff, masking at first behind
Hindenburg, made the fatal blunder Of
the war for Germany. He dragged the
United States in after Russia had been
disposed of. He also initiated Falkeli-
hayn in returning to the west after con-
querlng Rumania. But at least it may
be said for him that it was much more
urgent for Germany to take the often
sive in the west in 1918 than it was in
1916. Foch characterizes LudendorfY-
as we'll as his predecessors-"a over
reckless and overcontident" Ludendorff
was the greatest gambler of all. 1t was
the custom for long time in this coun-
try to laud his generalship But he dis
played in critical moments in 1918 only
a mediocre ability.
Foch remarks of the Germans: "They
were great organizers, but they had no
men in sight nor any genius" The
Kaiser had many good division and army
commanders. Mackensen mace, per-
haps, the best figure among them. But
he had no soldier Of the first rank. He
depended on an over-weighted military
machine, which broke down at last of
It's own cumbersomeness and clumsiness.

The Coming 7'ower

We think about the feminine faces

passing melancholy because we are

Whcne'er take my walks abroad,
How many girls see
Whose form and features I applaud
With well-concealed glee!
I'd speak to many a sonsie maid,
Or willowy or obese,
Were not fearful and afraid
She'd yell for the police.
And Melancholy. bittersweet.
Marks me then as her own,
Because lack the nerve to greet
The girls l might have known.

For every shadow cloud of woe
Hath argentine alloy;

And feel passing ioy.
