Compromise lncu;iabIe
Greece's Claim TO Thrace
To the Editor of The Tribune

To the Editor of The Tribune.
Sir: Owing to the fact that the Bulga-
rians have recently handed memorandum
to the American Minister at Sofia, in which
they claim that Thrace is Bulgarian, adduc-
ing false statistics and historical data which
have unfortunately influenced the opinion OF
the American delegates at Paris, who are re-
ported in the American press to be skenLical
to the rights of Greece in Thracc and in
certain portions of Macedonia, you will rem
der service to the cause of Hellenism if you
permit us to state the case of Thrace, in
order that American public opinion may learn
the exact condition of that province
/. We give below the statistics pub
lishcd in the we'll known German review,
"Pctcrmann's Mlttcilungen," 1899, page SO,
by the German cthnographer, Richard Won
Mach. under the title Contribution to the
Ethnographv Ct .he Balkan Peninsula" The
author admits in his works that his statis-
tics are based upon information given him
by the Bulgarian EXarchate:
Schools. Pupils

g General Petrotr, Prime Minister of
Bulgaria in 1905, admitted, in circular
published in the Bulgarian journal "Vct-
cherna Posta" and in the semi official jour
nal Courier Of Sofia OF July 10, 1905, that
the Bulgarian element of the province of
Adranople comes third numerically.
3. In the agreement which was reached
between the Bulgarians and the Greeks be-
fore the Turkish elections in 1912 seven
seats of Deputies reserved for Greeks,
against only for a Bulgarian This
agreement shows that the Bugarans them
selves recognized their numerical inferior
ity in the province of Adrianope.
Charles Vcllay, in his book, "LIrrcdent-
isme Hellenious," pago 1O0 adds that it was
so little probable that Bulgarian candi-
date should succeed in winning an election
it was stated in the agreement that, in case
of failure to elect at least one Bulgarian
Deputy one of the Greek Deputies would
resign in favor Of his Bulgarian colleague
4. The friends Of truth may readily con-
suit the maps published in Berlin by Mr.
Rizoff, former Minister of Bulgaria at Ber-

these maps is "The Bugarans in Their

then know that the eternity to which he
dedicated the new fortress would not
last fifty years?
Like most Of the institutions of the
Hohenzollern empire, Wilhelmshaven
was not the spontaneous result of a
long organic development. 1t was simply
made to order, like the statues Of the
Siegesallee or the books celebrating the
silver jubilee of the Kaiser. The site
of the harbor and city originally be-
longed to- the Grand Duke of Olden-
burg From him it was purchased by
Prussia in 1858, and the construction of
the base began a year later. 1t was a
desperate struggle against the sands of
Friesland, against wind and sea and
climate, and the German engineers had
the right of priding themselves on their
creation. The job was finished in. 1870,
but Wilhelmshaven's real boom origi-
mated in the late '90s with the un-
folding of that navalistic propaganda
which aimed at making Germany the
first maritime power in the world and
whose landmarks are Coronel, the Falk-
land Islands, Skagerrak, Scapa Flow
and Amerongen.

Juries and Searches

In the Volstead enforcing bill the
right of trial by jury is scrapped, and
The right to be secure against inquisi-
.orial searches, while nominally pre-
served, seems to be ended with respect to
a large and increasing number of human
habitations.
The denial of a jury trial is explicit
1t is provided that judge, after con-
viction, may issue an Injunction; then,
under Section 20, violator of the in
junction may be punished for contempt
by fine of not more than $1,000, by
imprisonment for not more than one
year. The penalty is technically not for
liquor selling, but for contempt of court,
and the Judge proceeds summarily.
An attempt was made to secure an
amendment protecting a citizen unless
duly convicted by a jury under the law,
but it was defeated. Mr.. Volstead
adapted to his ends theory which has
given so much trouble in labor cases. He
refused to accept the doctrine that where
lie contempt, if committed, also in
volves a breaking Of the law, the pro-
ceeding should be to punish under the
law and not for contempt. Judging from
The experience of states which have had
prohibitory laws, most so-called liquor
trials will be without jury.
The overturning of the ancient in
hbition against seizure is more indirect.
1t is provided there must be evidence of
unlawful selling before there is search
Of a private dwelling. But there is
appended to the proviso: "Unless it is in
par used for some business purpose,
such as store, shop, saloon, restaurant,
hotel or boarding house."
Think of the multiple dwellings of
New York, with miles of streets with
apartments above and stores beneath.
Mr.. Volstead apparently assumes that
all dwellings, in this country are sepa-
rated or that if man lives on a second
floor the business below is his own. So
it happens, unless the courts do nimble
interpreting, that, so far as perhaps a
majority of the residents of New York
City are concerned, private dwellings are
to be open.
1t is not too late to amend the Vol.
stead bill. If the prohibitionists are
'gise they will favor amendment. 1t will
scarcely make for the enforcement of
the law to irritate large numbers un-

Exonerated

To the Editor of The Tribune.
Sir: In your issues of October 4, 1917,
and February 19, 1918, you gave considerable
prominence to news item relating to the
indictment of Goldmintz Brothers for an
alleged conspiracy on their part to defraud
the United States customs revenue by under
valuation, or smuggling.
Your attention is invited to the fact that
on yesterday, July "a, 1919, all the indict-
ments against US were dismissed by the Dis
! trict Attorney for the Southern District of
New York and we were completely exon
Grated from these charges. AS the publicity
given to US was damaging to our standing
and credit as merchants, we believe that COM
mon fairness and justice require that you
should print statement of the fact that
the indictments have been dismissed.

has already started work on converting
the piers, wharves, warehouses, etc,
for the uses OF mercantile shipping.

How He Reads 1t

To the Editor Of The Tribune.
Sir: I have read The Tribune more than
sixty years. 1t was my educator in evcrv
grade past the district school. 1t was my
grammar school, high school, COLLEGE and
postgraduate, and, at age seventy1six here
is the way read it: F. P. A., Briggs, edi-
torials, first page, then the rest of the
paper.
Like every columnist, F. P A. furnishes
a modcum of bunk, but there is always
something that makes it worth while to 90
through the column to find. l don't care on
what page you put Briggs; l can find him.
/ don't know what Horace Greeley would
think of your editorials. Not much,
guess of some of them But, then, Uncle
Horace himself wouldn't fit into this age.

hope to read it many more years

Marching On

When The Tribune brought forward
the proposal that the practical way to
proceed with respect to the covenant
was to ratify and reserve in the same
instrument it was ignored by those who
posed as the special champions of the
covenant. They continued to shout in
chorus the irrelevancy: aren't you in
favor of league of peace?" And the
companion irrelevancy that the treaty
and the covenant could not be separated
and that there was no way to modify
the covenant which did not defeat the
treaty.
But the reservation doctrine has
steadily made its way. 1t did not do
SO because it seemed to offer the onlv
workable plan by which the good in
the covenant might be retained and it's
evil eliminated, and at the same time
took the peace treaty proper out of
peril. Mr. Root came out in favor of
it, and quickly the plan more than any
other became that Of a majority Of the
Senate. Then Mr.. Taft fell in line.
ard now Mr.. Hughes adds the weight
OF his authority. Reports from Wash
iagton are that the President seriously
meditatez agreeing to it as offering him
an avenue Of escape from an embarrass
ing predicament.
IL all party pressure were lifted and
personal feuds and animositics laid
aside it is by no means impossible that
ratification with reservations would 90
through by practically a unanimous
vote.
The idea that the other nations would
reject the whole treaty if we appended
reservations was preached for few
days, but did not have vitality enough
TO live long. The other powers so
much want our signature to any sort
OF international agreement that they
will not cavil. Business can go for
yard on the assumption that the other
powers will tacitly or expressly accept
our reservations

Imports From France

France would increase her export
trade to the United States. To this end
a group of French manufacturers have
opened a joint exhibition of industrial
art in this city. For the most part the
goods are of a kind which are only pro-
duced in France, and hence there is no
reason for established industries here to
be uneasy.
France and tac French people owe
America and the American people hun
dreds of millions. The annual interest
amounts to very large sum. There is
only one way to pay, and that is in goods
Moreover, France requires machinery
and raw material for her factories.
again, she has no coin to give except the
fruit of her labor.
The French excel in taste and in the
fine handicrafts and in delicate manu-
facture. Ours is the land of the big
machine and quantity production; hers
the land of an individualizing niceness.
She is maker of luXuries, while we are
the maker of cruder necessities. Be-
tween peoples of such different genius
there is a basis for trade to mutual
satisfaction.
Prepare, then, American girl, for a
few more and finer ribbons for your
hair. The American nose is to be blown
against little softer handkerchief.
Something more Of perfume is to be in
