United States. in a letter TO the
Westminster Gazette to-day says:
"The Government of ireland has

Niscount Grey puts forward new

Still Nothing

Having failed during the first
week Of the hearing at Albany to
present evidence convicting the So
cialist Assemblymen of advocacy
of force, the conductors Of the in
qusition begin the second week with
nothing more pertinent than the
quotation of rant in praise Of the
soviet government, delivered at a
Socialist mass meeting.
The orator was one Trachtenberg,
who logged In a dull way along the
usual path Of Socialist discourse,
and studiously avoided, as if he were
jail-shy, advocacy of direct action.
What has such stuff to do with the
only issue before The Albany COM
mittee? Why waste public money
by prolonging the hearing if Messrs.
Sweet and Martin have nothing bet
ter than this to submit? More than
two weeks have passed since the
Speaker had his private party.
Surely it is time for him to show he
acted on probable grounds or else TO
call off the proceeding.

The Psychology Of Colds

The logic of colds is simple
enough Treat cold respectfully
put it to bed for the first twenty
four hours, and it will retire from
the scene with grace and speed. On
the other hand, ignore it's existence
for q couple of days, and it will
gather such strength that soon you
won't be able to think of anything
else. Keep up the fight week or so
longer, going about your business
as usual, and there's an even
chance, in the present state of health
statistics, that the cold won't be a
cold any more, but will have put on
the dignity Of influenza. And inhu-
enza treated with contempt can show
its mettle by turning into any one
of number Of things that are
worse.
SO much for the logic If there
were nothing involved but a com
mon sense calculation of probabili-
ties, we'd play safe, obey the Health
Department., and take the stitch in
time that saves nine. But psychol-
ogy interferes. We can't get rid Of
the notion that there is something of
the mollycoddle about a person who
gives in to a cold or even to q bit
Of temperature 1t doesn't seem
dignifled to go to bed without a doc
tors orders, and it doesn't seem
dignified to call a doctor without
having a bona fide, full-nedged ILL.,
ness to show him. Better a big risk
of real malady than a small risk
OF being dubbed a malade ina gi7aire.
If you do get sick you may blame
yourself for foolhardy obstinacv
but nobody else will blame you; on
the contrary, you will be spoken of
as martyr to duty and your lob
SO you determine to stick it out
logic or no logic

people that commit crimes are sent
to the hospital, and people that get
sick are sent to prison. There is
something to be said for the latter
part of the arrangement.

"Accelerating"

A correspondent of The Tribune
sends in the following "accelerating"
telegram, copies of which presump-
lively have been sent to others:
"The World" has published an cx-
tended editorial unqualifedly indors-
ing Hoover for President
AS the Democratic candidate on a
platform that would represent the
historical principles of the Demo-
cratic party;
AS an independent candidate on a
platform Of progressive liberalism; or
AS the Republican candidate on q
platform representing the kind Of
government which Mr.. Hoover has
eXempitcd in his public career.
"Will you kindly wire The World
your opinion of Hoover as possible
President? Kindly state your per-
sonal politics. THE WORLD"
The varying versions of Mr..
Hoover indicate subtle discrimina-
ton. AS the Democratic candidatc

'lples of the Democratic party; is not
to wander from the faith; is to

Hindenburg's Future

Popular legends die hard. Field
Marshal Hindenburg made a co]os-
sal reputation in August, 1914,
through the great victory over the
Russians at Tannenberg. That bat
tie was planned and fought by
Ludendorff The latter has shown
in his book that he, not Hindenburg,
directed all the operations for which
the field marshal received credit.
Yet Hindenburg remained through
out the war the one overshadowing
military hero of Germany-a figure
out Of Valhalla.
Under the republic his repute is
still unchallenged. He and Lettow-
Vorbeck were the only two German
generals who retained favor after
the surrender. Now Karl Kautsky,
the Independent Socialist, who
searched the archives of the Foreign
Office and exposed the German-Aus-
trian conspiracy to start the war,
says that Hindenburg is likely to be
elected President of the German
Republic. "His popularity" says
kautsky, "is increasing immensely"
Here is something of mystery.
Hindenburg ingratiated himself with
the people when he resolved to stick
with the army after the arnstice.
He acquiesced in the revolution. Of
a passive and patient temperament,
he phlegmatically accepted defeat
and its consequences. He criticized
nobody He never manifested any
desire to write war book. Luden-
dorff became the scapegoat for all
the mistakes made at Grand Head
quarters. The field marshal has al
ways shown eQuanimity. Perhaps
the people have come to regard him
as a human being rather than as a
military autOcrat.
After 1870 the present French Re
public elected Marshal MacMahon
President, although his republican,
ism was hardly skin deep. The Ger
man republic may follow that ex-
ample by electing Hindenburg Pres
dent. 1t would be a queer climax
to the Max of Observation-Disclosures
revolution. But Hindenburg would
come much nearer German ideals
than Ebert does. He would never,
for instance, allow himself to be
photographed in a bathing suit.

Science and the Mediums

There will be a general hope that
DR.. Hyslop's proposal Of an impair
tial and scientific investigation of
spiritism may bear practical fruit.
Certainly the present status of the
cult in its many manifestations is
unsatisfactory and not without its
peril to sober thinking by the COM
munity.
The bulk Of the seances are con-
Quoted in an utterly unscientihc fash
ion by uncrtical audiences who are
most susceptible to deceit and trick
cry. Most of those who consult me-
diums to-day have hunger for COM
munication with the dead calculated
/ to blind their perception and dull
their logic. 1t is by such predes-
tined victims and by dilettante anna
teurs that most mediums are SIR
rounded. When we add that con-
cededly, by the admission of the
ablest and soundest Of those who
have been persuaded Of the truth of
spiritisn, there is huge percentage
Of gross and willful fraud in the con-
duct Of seances, we face situation
of peculiar confusion and danger.
On the one hand, there is distinct
likelihood that something less than
justice may be done to the facts
by the general public. Prejudice
against all mediums, rejection of
their evidence, however gained, is
naturally common. On the other
hand, the fragrant trickery of i'm
presslonable human beings, grieving
over lost relatives, makes possible a
mental state on the part Of many
which is neither safe nor healthy.
Can such an organization for sci
entlhc research as DR.. Hyslop pro-
poses meet this problem? There is
considerable doubt, obviously. The
more the utterances of DR.. Hyslop
and Sir Oliver Lodge are analyzed
the more it appears that no new
manifestations are being presented
that the communication Of me-
New-York tribune., 1920-01-28
diums are increasing in variety and a
certain daring in claiming distin-

diums are increasing in variety and a
certain daring in claiming distin-
guished men as source, but that the
essence of the messages is the same
as fifty years ago. The stream of
evidence is greatly widened. The
critical problem, the practical ques-
tions that face scientific research,
are quite unchanged. Can the phe-
nomena be explained as sheer trick
cry? Can they be explained by the
understood psychology of the sub
conscious mind? If neither Of these
explanations is open, there is yet
open the alternative Of telepathy
And even if science should some day
take the farreaching step Of accept
ing the existence Of some spirit
source, there would remain the vital
problem of analyzing and identifying
these sources, an inquiry of the
gravest moment to human faith and
all religion.
To state these subjects in issue is
to hark back to the perennial aspects
of the spiritistic problem. Upon it a
large group of psychologists have de-
voted several decades of investiga-
ton. A few, like DR.. Hyslop, have
been convinced. A few general SCI
entists, like Sir Oliver Lodge, have
also lent the great weight of their
personal opinion to the cause. But
the mass Of scientific opinion is
utterly unconvinced. How could a
research body operating upon scale
however large, add anything new or
authoritative to this situation
The answer is, we think, parallel
to that which must be given to a
similar question put with regard to
the Rockefeller Institute, for ex-
ample, in respect to medical re-
search. No swift or final results are
possible or likely. The most that
could be hoped for would be a more
complete and thorough inquiry, a
concentration Of scientific ability
upon specific problems with every
facility of laboratory equipment and
experimental material. Especial care
would be needed in spilitist research
to guard against that weakening of
scientific attitude which has often
accompanied mediumistic investiga-
tions. The utmost care would be re-
quired in control and active super
vision. Every realm of science should
be represented, it would seem, in the
controlling board. Thus organized
there might be reasonable hope that
in the course of the years certain
evidence could be accepted as author
itative, the issue could be narrowed,
and fairer approach to the whole
problem be achieved.

notification of the suffrage rights of
those whose compilations are dark,
and other Democratic specialties.
As an independent candidate Mr..
Hoover is not to put on Democratic
clothes, but the more pleasing gar
ments Of progressive liberalism
whatever that may be. Instead Of
championing historical Democratic
principles, such as opposition to cen
tralized government, public owner
ships, national labor legislation and
the like, Mr.. Hoover is to advocate a
program of nationalism such as
Colonel Roosevelt sketched in his
Osawatomie address.
But if Mr.. Hoover is the Repub-
lican candidate the poor Republicans
are to have no platform at all-are
to accept Mr.. Hoover, whose par
ticular views are an unknown guam
tity, as the Law and the Prophets.
The historical principles Of the Re-
publican party are to be ignored
the party of Lincoln and of Roose-
velt is to pass out and its remains to
exist only under Mr.. Hoover's hat.

full cogitation. One can imagine
every word was carefully weighed.
Its progressive diminuendo may thus
be regarded as deliberate. Yet The
World continues to tax credulity by
pretending it is behind "non-parti-
sam proposal, and reiterates that it
sees no difference between the parties
that Mr.. Hoover consistently could
be the candidate of either.

Suppliant Armenia
Is the Neto State To b

To the Editor of The Tribune
Sir: Is the new Armenian state =
be mangled before 1t is born? IN
place of the bread FOR which the Ar
menians have sacrificed for ce.turies
ls the peace conference to gi-e them
stone? Is it true that France and Eng
land have decided that me most valu
able parts of the country, the central
and the southern-that bordering OIL
the Mediterranean-are to 60 France
and that England is seeking an exten-
sion of her Mesopotamian and other
Eastern interests at the expense Of
Armenia?
If this be true, then America, to ar
unfortunate degree, win be involved
IN this great moral and material dis
aster. because America has given the
world and the Armenians TO understand
that the Armenian cause was the OBJ
ject Of her special solicitude-thatt this
cause was safe, because it was in her
hands.
In other words, It was universally
agreed that if America said the word
an Independent Armenia, covering the
historic area, would be created And
even more: IL was openly argued In
the public press that an Armenia thus
sponsored must be of more generous
dimensions than that to which the Ar
menians themselves laid claim. The
Armenia as depicted on Grams new
map of Europe and the Near East, for
example, is interesting proof Of this
for across the extended Armenia there
on indicated appear the words Amer
can Mandate"
Our men died not that Turkey might
live nor that European imperialism
might prosper at the expense Of the
Armenian people. The necessity o.
Riding the world of the great Near
Eastern plague spot was one OF the
reasons why they went SO gallsntly
forth. These dead have left their IN
finished task 10 US. How are we ful-
tilling our sacred obligation9 To what
great crime are we not by our passlv
'ty lending our compliance? To whs'
future cataclysm are We not by this
passivity helping TO destine man

We have not as yet entered into any
formal contract with the European ns
tions, it is true; but are we thereby
released from all our solemnly under
