Delaware Delays Suffrage

The extraordinary vote in the
Delaware House against suffrage
bears a close resemblance to those
emotional reactions which men were
once wont to class as feminine.
These sturdy male legislators did
not like the invasion of their state
by outlanders, and they said So
with temperamental warmth. Let
us hope that next week they will
have recovered from their attack Of
nerves and deem it unnecessary to
vindicatc their independence"
But don't cxaggerate the impor-
tarcc of the Delaware decision.
There is a chance that if the Della
ware House refuses to change its
mind it viii earn the honor Of pre-
venting women from voting for
President in 1920. Yet even this
brief delay is unlikely. The sudden
shift in the Mississippi Senate is
typical of the sort Of overturn that
is likely to happen in any state now.
1t is difficult to keep anti-sutfrage
ranks firm when thirty-fve states
have ratified and suffrage is bearing
down upon the country with the
inevitability Of an express train.
Somewhere the break will come. If
the long shot happens and suffrage
should be postponed until 1921, the
certainty of its ratification then is,
Of course, beyond debate.
Meantime the honor of being the
thirty-sixth state is still open. The
Republican state of Delaware is
deadlocked and dallying. Will
Democratic Louisiana beat it at the
finish? And what of Republican
Connecticut and Vermont? The con
spicuous position of the Governors
Of these two states becomes in
creasingly unenviable. They are OPP
posed by their parties, by their leg
islatures, by their constituents. The
emergency calling upon them to act
has increased till it cannot be de-
MED. Which will be the first to con-
cede the changed situation and call
his Legislature in special session?

Within Its Powers

Counsel for the expelled Socialist
Assemblymcn have announced that
they viii contest the legality of the
expulsion. 1t is hard to see what
basis for court action can be found
The constitution of New York
state says (Article III, Section 10):
Each house shall determine the
rules Of its own proceedings and be
The judge Of the elections, returns
and qualifications Of its own mem
bcrs.' Most Of the sections of Artl-
Gle III, dealing with the legislative
power, have been carried into the
courts for Interpretation. But the
last issue Of The Legisla Man.
uai, which records these appeals
and determinations, shows that Sec
ton 10 has never been challenged.
The language Of the provision
conferrjng power to Judge the quail
iicatlons Of members is perfectly
clear and definite. This right and
the right to make rules governing
its own proceedings are conferred
absolutely on each branch Of the
Legislature. It is the inherent priv
ilcgc Of American legislative bodies
to govern themselves in such mat
tiers. There seems to be no opening
for an appeal to any outside body.

The Buses

In one respect the injunction of
Judge Cropsey against the Hylan
busses is to be regretted. 1t inter
rupts the experiment to ascertain
whether or not trackless transporta-
tion is feasible with a fiat scent
fare.
SO far there has been no real test.
Mr.. Whalen contends the busses are
successful. But the private opera
tors who have been given licenses
contribute nothing for street main
tenance, and thus part Of the cost of
operation is thrown on the city's
treasury. Moreover, the busses have
bean allotted selected routes, cover
relatively short distances, and are
little in service during lean hours.
In no respect has. standard Of
service been required such as is de-
manded Of the surface railways.
With respect to distance four miles
is the maximum, and it is significant
that the fve-mile route laid out has
no takers.
But for some lines busses are
obviously desirable. The Electric
Raillray Journal, although it's inter
ests are with the traction compa-
nies, freely acknowledges that in
many cases one-man bus can beat
a two-man streetcar. Especially is
this the case if it is operated by its
owner, who is careful Of fuel, works
long hours, allows no free rides and
is nimble in picking up business.
Moreover, in New York the bus
operators are spared the cost of a
supervisory staff, of printing fare
and destination signs and of acci-
dent insurance. And the public has
tolerated a crowding, an uncleani-
ness and a general shabbiness that
it would not allow to a company.
The Hylan administration is so
much more interested in politics
than in good service, and is so
firmly persuaded that the way to
popularity is to play on the preju-
dice against traction companies that
little is to be expected from it. 1t
las considered nothing in a broad
way. has worked to no plan, has
prepared no scheme Of regulation to
protect the public. Nevertheless the
results Of its experimentation are
worth something and, from a prac-
tical standpoint, may we'll be al
lowed to go through-to a smash or
to success.

BoLsheuis71 in China
Injustice of Allies May Drive
Nation to "Reds"

To the Editor of The Tribune
Sir: I have just learned from to-
days paper that the Russian Soviet gov
ernment offers an army and other
things to help CELEBRATE" China, and
that such offers very likely will be ac-
cepted by the government of the Chinese
republic With sincere regret 1 too be-
lieve that the Chinese government will
find it necessary to accept these offers.
To the average mind in China to-day
the Bolshevic influence is not one-tenth
as dangerous as the Japanese aggression
That the peace conference at Paris had
done a great injustice 70 China and had
utterly disregarded Chna's right Us one
OF the faithful allies no one would deny.
Being deserted and betrayed by her
once believed be friendly nations, she
Is now left alone to face her own fate
She must fight against the conspiracy of

partition her republic; she must fight
against the carrying into effect of the
most infamous and unjust settlement
pronounced by the Big Three" that
sacrifices her Shantung to crafty the
avarcious desire of her dangerous and
unfriendly neighbor; and she must fight
against the unprovoked invasion of
Great Britain in Tibet and Szechuan

China to-day is engaged in an all-round
fight which she must so through with If

Animal Ancestry
M MADAME EX
New York, April I, 1920.

To the Editor of The Tribune.
Sir: In reference to your comment
on animal ancestry, as evidenced by the
lives of commuters, in your editorial
"The Incompatible Commuters" permit
me to add that certain animal traits
were overlooked by you.
| would point out the "Broadway
Express Groundhog" he comes up for
air and sunshine at l25th Street and
Immediately digs into earth again
Then we have tho "Subway Hog" also
the Subway Lizard" who sits with his
tail, or rather feet, stretched across
the aisle. And how about the bears
using their weight to stuff you into the
subway cars? The subway sardines
certainly need no comment.
Nor is the Manhattan type of travel
ers' heritage confined to the animal
kingdom. The Bronx subway reminds
one very often that Darwin made a
mistake in not investigating the possi-
bility of man originating from the
onion or garlic family.
In conclusion, would say that,

Our New Republican Neighbor

We have always valued the ener-
getc efforts Of our neighbor The
World to keep the Republican party
out of mischief. Such benevolent
n-partisanship has been a benign
sight in cruel, cutthroat times. But
now that the era Of good feeling has
arrived and The World, smiling hap
PLY, rides into the Republican party
on Mr.. Hoover's coattails, perhaps a
word of friendly caution is in order.
The World, of course, means well
in trying so valiantly to save its new
party from General Wood. But it is
sadly wrong in its facts. The "stand
pat' clements of the Republican
party ere not backing General Wood.
TO the contrary AS for progressive
ism, we should say that there is not
much dscernible difference between
the progressivism Of Leonard Wood
and that Of Herbert Hoover. Both are
Republicans Of the Roosevelt brand.
The choice between them depends
more upon capacity and training for
the particular job in view than any
divergence in political outlook.
As for the league of nations, the
sooner Tie World forgets its
habitual patter the better. If it
wants to stand with Herbert Hoover
it certainly cannot stand with Wood
row Wilson en- this issue. Mr.
Hoover has made it abundantly
plain that what Mr.. Wilson regards
as the "heart' Of the matter, his
own pet Article X, is to him at best
a negligible detail. The point with
him is league-and safeguarding
Of American independence. We well
come The World to the Republican
fold gladly; but we suggest that It
let 90 OF Mr.. Hoover's coattails long
enough to look about and find out
what sort of Republican Mr.. Hoover
really is.
New-York tribune., 1920-04-03
Errors in Naval Policy

The naval inquiry has established
that the Navy Department had no
formulated war plans ready when
war was declared. Lacking such
did the department get from the
Allies all information they would
gladly have given to prepare our
navy while the President hesitated
from February to April? If not,
two invaluable months were lost.
Our fleet then comprised thirty
five batteships, forty cruisers, sew
enty-four dcstroyers, nineteen tor
pedo boats and sixty-six submarines.
II was the third greatest naval feet
in the world
But it was nearly month after
we entered the war before our first
hotilla of six hastily made ready
destroyers appeared on the scene Of
war and two and one-half months
before the first thirty vessels showed
up. What was the matter with the
remaining two hundred and four
war vessels Of our mighty fleet? 1t
would be interesting to see the orders
issued to each war vessel in our
fleet during February, March, April
and May, 1917, and to learn just
what happened to the vessels of our
fleet during the months when Am
bassador Page and Mr.. Hoover and
Admiral Sims said the fate of the
Allies and our fate hung in the
balance.
AS the evidence now stands, when
we went to war our Navy Depart
ment had no idea what it should do
promptly to cooperate to win the
war. 1t had the means at hand
promptly to concentrate in the war
zone the third largest fleet in the
world But the vessels were not
ready. In short, we had the material
and an able naval personnel, but no
guiding brain.
This is we'll illustrated by the
cablegram from Secretary Daniels
to Admiral Sims on June 20, 1917:
'In regard to convoy, l consider
American vessels having armed
guards as safer when sailing inde-
pcndently."
Apparently, if Secretary Daniels
had had his way, the convoy system
which protected our troops so we'll
and proved to be one Of the greatest
aids to victory would never have
come into existence. Admiral Sims
charges that the management of our
Navy Department delayed the de-
vclopment of the convoy system for
many months, retarding our trans
New-York tribune., 1920-04-03
portation Of troops and so prolong-
ing the war.

portation of troops and so prolong
ing the war.
The official dispatches show that
in July, 1917, Admiral Sims and his
associates on the Allied Naval Coun
Gil requested the immediate dispatch
to Europe Of four battleships, with
out which there was liability of a
German battle fleet eruption and
raid upon Our transports. 1t is also
in evidence that the Navy Depart
mcnt first ignored and then refused
this request, but acceded to it five
months later.
On July 20, 1917, the Navy De-
rartment cabled Admiral Sims, in
effect, that no developments of the
war would lead it to risk losses from
our main fighting fleet, which later it
proposed to keep intact for certain
post-bcllum purposes. This tran
scends the domain Of naval strategy
and enters the realm of political
strategy. Not only must Secretary
Daniels explain how his department
came to send such dispatch, but
President Wilson must explain what
caused a policy which jeopardized
the winning of the war and subordi-
mated the victory or defeat of our
valiant acknowledgements" to ulterior
purposes necessitating the preserva-
ton of our feet at all cost.
