The Lucky Doc

To the Editor of The Tribune.
Sir: Haven't you o7crstated the case
Of the dog hater in Wednesdays edi-
torial? Doesn't the dog receive, at
least in the average instance, more
care, attention and pampering than
the most cherished Of children? IN a
world filled with sorrow, misery and
suffering isn't he the lucAiest Of living
creatures?
You claim that the psychology Of
the dog hater has never been salts
factorily explained. It is quite simple.
for, unlike the poet. the dog hater is
made. not born. HIS first revu!sion
probably comes to him when he has

Mr.. Daniels's "fioly Joy"

In his message on Armisticc Day
Nj. Daniels admonishcs the navy "to
dedicate itself to the same ideals
which gave immortal glory to our
American youths Of 1917'1S." He
need have no fear. The navy is pin
ing for q chance to revive its shat
tered traditions, to restore its ideals
and to build up once moro the morale
which dates back much further than
19i7-to 1176!
And Mr.. Daniels bemoans TIE fact
that "ovents Of the two years since
the signing Of the armistce have
caused 'many Of u.s. to lose the holy
joy Of that day" BY "many of us"
he can only mean himself and the
few who tried to defend him ut the

him and proved that the navy tri-

Naturally thei,' 'holy joy is mixed
with other feelings. The navy proper
would doubtless have felt holier
JOY on Armistcc Day had it been
permitted to prepare for war and
had it been free to jump into the
struggle with full force when war
was declared But Mr. Daniels
would not have it so. Between 1913
and 1917 the navy knows where the
chief opposition to the navy's eff

Theoretically, at least. there is a
serious objection to the admission of
the enemy nations. Article X of
The covenant, as it stands. guar
antecs the territorial integrity and
political independence Of all mem
bers of the league. Yet by the
terms Of the treaty some of Ger
nlany's territory is held by the Al
lies as q pledge for the execution Of
the treaty, and should Germany fail
t. live up to her promi ,es the Allies
expect to be in a position to compel
fulfllment by seizure of more Ger
man territory, if such a step is nee
essary.
French troops took possession Of
Frankfurt last spring. and France
has also threatened to occupy the
Ruhr coal district. The League Of
Nations is made an agency for treaty
enforcement within certain limits,
but beyond those limits it remains a
friendly association pledged to pro-
tect impartially the territory and
political independence Of members.

cial cases, to provide financial aid.
The Jones act carefully prescribes
what is to be done. There is to be
revolving fund to be advanced to
builders Of new ships, liberal pay is
to be given for postal service, ship
profits if reinvested are to be re-
lieved of taxation, and treaties which
limit the right to impose discrimi-
mating duties are to be abrogated.
To contribute to the working out Of
this policy the Shipping Board is
continued, but not to engage in the
shipping business.
It. is not wise, in zeal to expose
abuses, to be Indifferent to the dan
ger Of whitening the merchant
marine. The guilty are to be sought
for and punished, but there is need
to be careful about creating an at
mosphere Of disgust and scandal
that will discourage the enterprise
ING who have entered the shipping
business.
In this connection it is only fair to
recognize that the extravaganza and
waste are not chargeable to the pres
cnt Shipping Board. Admiral Ben
son has been denied colleagues and
is bound by many legal restrictions.
He has inherited from former boards
great difficulties. From the time
when General Goethals was crowded
out by the President because he
could not approve the wooden ideas
Of his associate who had political in
huence with the Administration
changes have been rapid. Shipping
Board members have not been al
lowed to follow their own judgment.
Probably Admiral Benson has been
tethcred as his predecessors have
been.
The prime object now is not to
scandalize but to establish firmly a
merchant marine. Past mistakes
are largely irreparable, and are not
to be dwelt on to the injury Of the
future.

The Unknown Soldier

TO the Editor Of The Tribune.
Sir: Allow me to congratulate You
upon your splendid editorial, "The Tn
known soldier,' which appeared in
this mornings edition, was only
one of the many millions who were
privileged to serve their country dur
ing the late war, and it is deplorable
that q great nation such as the United
States should remain silent and un-
observant or the anniversary of the
day when her soldiers and sailors
brought to successful conclusion
their glorious defense of her honor
and tradition.
The thoughts Of those OF Us who
remember their heroic dea,h turn TO
France and England upon this day, be-
cause 1T is to the ceremonies there OBJ
served that We must look for the pub
lie recognition Of the sacrifice made
by the men who gave their lives that
we might live in peace I'D security.
In thought we stand bareheaded at the
Arch of Victory, in Paris, and in West
minister Abbey, in London, with tears
in our eyes. gratitude in our hearts
and Il firm resolution that those brave
Americans who willingly and cheer
fully served their country unto death
may not go another year forgotten and
unmourned save b. those they left
behind
So it is for US who remember their
sacrifices and who have seen Ameri-
can boys go bravely into battle, offer
ing their lives as proof Of their de-
Votion, to endoavor to recall to our
forgctful country that it should as
nation pay homage to It's honored dead.
| sincerely hope, as you do that next
year shall see fitting ceremonies OBJ
served in this country, such as our
allies are now observing.

Now, as Britisher who has served the
same cause as your wonderful soldiers
and as one who was privileged to know
something Of what they did to restore
decency to the earth, I know that tho

origin, and that it is not representative
Of American opinion.
The possibilities are that it was tie
work Of sympathizers with the Sim
Fem, the organization that is the de-
spair of all who wish to sec dear Old
Ireland on a peaceful and self-govcrn-
ing basis. However that may be, 10 these
misguided zealots realize that not all Of
cur race will be able to apprase tie
insult at its true value, and can they
campaign Of hatred?
Although many Irish volunteer rcgi-
ments did nobly in the war (evcn from
Dublin, as witness the splendid Dublin
Fusleers), the fact remains that under
the agis Of the Sim Fem Ircland's ac-
tons were inimical to the interests of
the Allies.

had common cause, and it might be

4 World in a Fog
Where Is the Able Lcadcrship Of
Years Gone Buo


To The Editor Of The Tribune.
Sir: 1t must be perfectly clear that
we no longer have the Independent and
competent criticism or intelligent dis
cusson of human affairs which OBJ
tanned in the days Of Horace Greeley,
Dana and the elder Bennett The in
tolerable ignorance Of socialistic propa-
eandists and the fact that the basic
principles were tried out ages ago and
tailed | am sure would have been made
clear in the oldcl days. The causes Of
the conditions in Russia, where the
criminal type Of human detectives have
become so numerous that the lowest
human instincts have become paramount,
would have been pointed out-in the
light Of easily available present knowl-
edge. BY the same token, those who are
preaching (and even bclieving) in So
cialistic and communistc doctrines
would be pointed to as examples Of
human detectives.
Is it possible that the travestv upon
law and morality which we call pro-
hibition, with its shams, falsehood and
pisiab.e ignorance, could have been put
ovor' in the days Of the men above men
toned, even without the added knowl-
edge Of the truth which has developed
since their time?
Could the silly twaddIe about the

papers during the late election, so
clearly but not cleverly) intended to
befog the real issues, have secured a
hundred1h part of the space in the
olden time that has been given in the
late weeks?
Every one Of the seven editorials in

terpiccc, to q considerable degree meets
the issues above referred to and.
venture to say, cannot be equalcd or
even approached by a composite of all
the editorials in all the papers of New
ork for the same date. (That is the
reason for this letter. Having gone so
far, and given us so much, why not cover
the whole subject, and pursue the theme.
so far as you have approached it, to the
legitimate conclusion?
No one, with the results of the last
election in mind, can fail to believe in
such a degree Of ultimate good sense
on the part OF our people as to remain
convinced that the causes tending to
destruction of the present civilization,
of which the great students have warned

A City for Irishmen
litor Of The Tribune.

To the Editor Of The Tribune.
Sir: This is the day when the roar
of the guns ceased two years ago in
the great World War. Two years ago
the flags of the Allies few from most
every ones windows, with the Union
Jack as popular as the Stars and
Stripes. Because we are celebrating
the anniversary Of that great day TO-
day we are again flying the flag Of
that great ally, Great Britain, except
when an Irishman can reach it ard
tear it down and burn it up while
our American (?) policemen look or
and let 5000 people congregatc and
block traffic for seventeen blocks.
Isn't it shameful that city like New
York should be only for Irishmen and
not Americans? But, Of course, we
really can't expect much help when
our Governor is Of Irish parents, as IS
our Mayor, and about onc-third Of the
police in New York City are Irish born.
Where are the real, -blooded
Americans? They seem afraid TO come
forward and show it; for surely the
5000 who blocked traffic for seventeen
blocks weren't all Irish synpathizers!
trust our next Administration VIII be
100 per cent American and lean only
toward America. "A satisfied Irishman
is never happy" so let them fight their
own battles in Ireland. not New York

Burning the British Flag

To the Editor Of The Tribune.
Sir: How long are we Americans go
ing to put up with the rabid talk and
actions of the so-called "Irish- -Ancri-
cans in this country? Are they to be
allowed to continue destroying The
British flag? 1t makes the blood OF
real 100 per cent Americans" boil
with indignation to read about the
burning Of the flag OF friendly ma
ton. Where were the police on Tues
day evening when that gang of Irish
attacked and succeeded in burning
the British flag flying on the Capitol
Thcater?
think, and know am not alone in
thinking, that it is time for tho Ameri-
cans in this country to put them in
their place 1t certainly is coming to
a pass when society like the 'Amal-
gamated Irish Society Of America" talk
of killing in cold blood Englishmen in
America. II that is religion--well de-
liver me from it. Let me close by say
ing If they love Ireland so much, let
them go back and fight for her free
dom and not start trouble between two
friendly nations. At any rate, we
Americans have enough to do over

little watching.
