The Deeper Wounds
To the Editor of The Tribune.

To the Editor of The Tribune
Sir: In your editorial "The Soul of
Soldier" you struck deep note. It
is all too true. Lets forget it" has
made deeper wounds than the enemy's
sword. 1t is hard to understand why
all the societies working for war relief
did not merge into common center
where the home fires we're literally
kept burning twenty-four hours day.
1t is not callousness so much as
lack of understanding of the situation.
Many times men in uniform could not
even get their checks or orders cashed
because it was after hours-causing
them no end of inconvenience. An
ex-soldicr had the misfortune to lose
his money He was still wearing army
leggings and coat as matter of econ
omy. Had he come from up state to
take q position in New Jersey. For
lack of suitable lodgings he had to be
sent to the Municipal Lodging House
for the night. Our boys do not ask for
aims. What they want is to be con-
sidered. Is it true. as has been said,
that thousands of wounded boys in our
hospitals can't get compensation be-
cause their records were lost? II there
is not an awakening to our debt to
these men God will hold America to
strict accountability. S. T. I.

assume that law officers would re-
spect it. This no longer sufices.
There is need of protecting statutes.
1t it is an offense to hold meetings
Ter unlawful purposes it also should
pe an offense to break up those held
for lawful purposes. The two doc
trines arc corollaries--they are in
terdependent.
1t cannot be too often repeated that
ours is government not Of men but
of laws. A right is right, and the
wearing of uniform does not lodge
discretionary power with a wearer
as to when to respect it and when to
ignore it. 1t is not enough merely to
release person illegally attacked or
detained. The assailant should feel
the teeth of definite punishment.

War Workers Who Don't Forget

To the Editor of The Tribune.
Sir: Oh, how my heart throbbed when
l read The Tribune's editorial "The
Soul of a Soldier! .
When making our appeals for the
sick, wounded and disabled and insane
ex-service men we have been told time
and again, "Oh, forget it, the war is
over; let the government take care of
them. We have suffered enough; it's
time to let up and not be reminded of
these things"
want to say right here that as long
as we can beg or borrow the money to
do it Mrs. Hill will visit our wards
with her committee, Mrs. Schenck will
take our wounded boyssfrom Fox Hills
and Mrs. Knowles will take OUT
wounded marines from Navy Hospital
each week to the theater, movie or
vaudeville-the managers. who have
not forgotten, supplying the tickets
and after the show as our guests to the
Navy Club for dinner. And we will re-
member them on every holiday.
Send us the money. We will gladly
bring pleasure and sunshine into the
lives of "our boys"

The Soul Of a Soldier >
Why the Lost Battalion's' Leader
Found Life UnendurabIc

VQAlI kAilC 0uCuQQIdDiC
To the Editor of The Tribune.
Sir: For Colonel Charles w. Whit
tlesey the war is now over.
In your editorial of November 80
you ask, "Why did this brave man find
life uncomfortable ?"
Almost any former member of the
American Expeditionary Forces will
furnish the answer. On every side the
tendency is to forget the war; and not
only the war, but those who went
across to fight The very ones who
cheercd the loudest when the troops
embarked for France are the ones who
now are the most forgetful.
Armistice Day was an example of
the callousness of the American peo-
pie. President Harding in his proclaim
alton asked that all business be sus-
pended and that all bow their heads
in prayer for period Of two minutes,
while one of the most impressive cere
monies in the history of the world was
being enacted at Arlington. How many
people actually complied with this
REQUEST?
In neigh boring city members of
the American Legion were compelled
to canvass the merchants in order to
get them to close their stores during
the Armistice Day parade. In great
many places business was not sus
pended at all.
Visit any hospital where wounded or
sick former service men are confined;
| look over the rosters of any American
Legion post in the country and see the
names of the men who fought at st.
Mihiel, Chateau Thierry and in the Ar
| gonne, men who are now making g
more bitter and in a great many in
stances more hopeless fight, and you
will find reasons why Colonel Whit
tlesey found life uncomfortable.
1t was my pleasure to meet Colonel
Whittlesey only once-at the first
state convention of the American Le-
| gion, at Rochester in October, 1919.
If ever a man had the welfare of his
| former comrades at heart that man
f, was he.
But the man who, when cut off from
all support in the Argonne Forest,
could still see a CLEAN of hope and
could tell the German commander to
"go to hell" when asked to surrender,
could see no hope for his men and the
men of other officers now that "the
war is over
"The soul of soldier" Truly tine
soul of Colonel Whittlesey is worth a
million such souls as are possessed by
those who waved the flag when he went
away, and who now would forget the
war and those who fought.

The Automobile Peril

AS motor traffic increases so do
fatalities resulting from it. The fig
ures are depressing. The National
Highway Protective Society reports
1,741 deaths in automobile and motor
truck accidents in this state in 1921,
an increase of about % per cent over
1920. What is to be done to prevent
such needless waste of lives?
Drastic legislation, law that really
bites, is the readiest answer. Whack-
ing fines and stiff jail sentences are
the most powerful medicine available
to cure motor mania. 1t is assumed
they would have exemplary value in
teaching gycaution to the careless and
the reckless driver. Sad to say, ex-
perience does not fully support that
assumption. Fear Of possible conse-
quences is apparently not an anti
dote for the speed virus. Thousands
have acquired facility in driving
which they feel makes them immune
from mishap-thus they take long
chances. A treacherous feeling Of
security, the contempt that familiar
ity with motor cars is apt to breed,
is perhaps one Of the chief under
lying causes Of automobile accidents.
It will be hard to put the brakes on
that sort of overconfidence by any
Legislation.
The pedestrian, too, places too
much faith in the skill of the chauf-
feur. He seems to expect that he
won't be run down because q driver
has no right to run him down, SO he
puts all the risk on the man at the
wheel. It is CALLING enough to be
honked off the highway. but it is bet
ter than being carromed off, even il
somebody goes to jail for it. When
on foot it is safe rule to see the
automobile first and get out Of the
way il it is bearing down on you, no
matter IL it's violating dozen ordi-

Germany Of Tomorrow

1t will hardly be charged that
George Sylvester Viereck, general
issimo of the German propaganda in
America, has been taught anything
by the events of the war.
In the December number of his
publication he publishes two maps
one of "The Germany of Today
and the other of 'sThe Germany of
Tomorrow From the first is ex-
cluded what are called the "sto-
len provinces" - Alsace-Lorraine
Schleswig- Holstein, the Polish corri-
dor, Posen and the Polish parts of
Upper Silesia. The second man
sketches the Germany of the near
future. Extending along the Baltic
lIttoral, 1T reaches almost to the sub
urbs Of Petrograd. 1t absorbs Es-
thonia, Latvia and Lithuania, taking
In even the Wilma district; all west
ern Poland, up to the edge of War
saw, becomes German; SO also do the
greater part of Bohemia and all of
present Austria, enlarged by the ad-
dltion of the Trentino and reaching
the Adriatic at Trieste and the
Istrisn peninsula.
Says Viereck as he contemplates
his photographic work:
Eve do not regard this picture as
too optimistic. 1t is inconceivable
that nation of seventy million peo-
pie in the heart of Europe will per-
nit nation of thirty-five million
people in France to thwart their
manifest destiny. Sooner or later
/ Barbarossa will arise. He may come
crowned as an emperor, he may come
as a dictator risen out of the ranks,
or he may be the elected representa-
tive of the people; but sooner or
later he will heed the call Of his
race. The Germany of to-
morrow here represented is the OBJ
jectiye of all Friends of German
Freedom in the United States and of
Gern,any's well-wishers throughout
the world"
Never did fowler more openly
spread net. M. BRAND, it seems, un-
derstated Germany's designs. There
is frank avowal Of ends far beyond
anything he has mentioned. 1t is
not concealed that Germany intends
to break the peace at the earliest op-
portunity. The objective of another
war is the erection OF Germany
much larger and more powerful than
thesone Of 1914. Moreover, the pur-

More State Constabularys.

New Jerseys new state constabu-
larry will this week begin actual serv-
ice. There has been a struggle for
years to secure such force, but at
last law creating it. was enacted,
and for three months the men have
been in camp under training for
their work.
No state needs such service more
than New Jersey. Lying between
the first and third cities of America
and with its coast lined with pleas
ure resorts, it's suburban regions
have long been infested by maraud-
ers and highwaymen from the cities,
while its highways are frequented to
an exceptional degree by both pleas
ure and business vehicles. 1nnumer-
able motor trucks nightly traverse
the highway between New York and
Philadelphia, passing for !. miles
through woodland and sparsely set
tied farmlands, while uncounted pas
senger cars constantly go through
little populated regions.
The new force, while it will help,
will scarcely meet the need. New
Jersey is not large state, but it is
far too large for company of sew
enty-nine men to be able to patrol
even its most important roads, to say
nothing of other duties which they
may at times be called upon to
perform.

Santa Claus Research

Generations of children have
wrinkled their young brows trying
to figure out how fat man like
Santa Claus could slide down such
narrow chimneys and how he could
have carried sisters doll in that
crowded pack without mussing her
curls, but little serious study has
ever been given by adults to one OF
the most interesting personalities in
history.
Who is this man Santa Claus?
What nationality? What parentage?
What were the influences of his
childhood that shaped him for
career of tocking stuffing?
At last g student has come to the
fore with biographical study of the
Christmas saint, which throws light
on many of these never-answered
questions. In the Christmas number
Of "The Ladies Home Journal"
Sarah Addington tells us all about
the boy Santa, eldest son of Mr.. and
Mrs. Claus, and big brother to a
large family. There was never
money enough to buy toys for all the
little folks, So the big brother de-
voted the snowy December after
Moons to making wooden ducks and
rag dolls out in the wood shed, just
as innumerable other older brothers
have done ever since. But Santa did
it first. That was the secret of his
greatness, as of many another genius.
And The toys first made for his
own little brothers and sisters were
SO popular that before he was
grown up he was making them for
the whole communicated that
makes the rest of the biography.
The real significance of this study
rests, however, not in the mere de-
tails of the life of Santa Claus, but
in the promise it gives for more
serious consideration of lives of
other great popular heroes. History
pays far too much attention to the
careers of mummies and other long
dead nonentities. Why not find out
about the people that are rally in
teresting to-day?
If the old favorites are to be saved
it must be done not by shroudine
them in greater mystery, but byl
throwing more light on their history,
even n.soine pretty details have to
be sacrificed. That they can be so
saved is witnessed by the Santa
Claus biography. You may never
have quite understood before why an
old gentleman with high blood pres
sure should wish to leave his COM
Portable hearth and cavort around
the world in reindeer sled by night.
but when you realize that he began
doing it as little boy and Just natu-
rally has the habit, why, how can YOU
help believing?

The Tunulty Barricade

The former private secretary to
iormer President Wilson, pursuing
literary labors which are not entirely
kind to his chief, spills out his ver-
sion of what happened when Mr..
Lansing as head of the Cabinet, ven
tured to suggest privately that in
view Of the notorious inability Of Mr..
Wilson to perform the functions of
his office measures should be taken to
Sevolve it's duties on the Vice Presi-
ident, as the Constitution requires.
Mr.. Lansing, thought Mr. Tum-
ulty, one of the few persons who
were allowed access to Mr.. Will
son, should certify to the disability,
OF that DR.. Grayson, as physician in
charge, should perform the disagree
able duty. This proper and patri-
otic proposal, it appears, was re-
.iected as something foul and
treacherous. Mr. Tunluity enter
tanned the idea that the Presidency
was in the nature of private prop
erty and that because Mr.. Wilson
had heen kind to him this in some
way suspended the Constitution.
You may rest assured" he rep
ressnts himself as saying, "that
while Woodrow Wilson is lying in
the White House on the broad of his
back | will not be party to ousting
him. DR.. Grayson, called in, agreed
that no matter what the facts were
he would never certify to the disabil-
ity. Mr.. Lansing was told that if
any one outside the White House
circle attempted to certify to the dis
ability that "Grayson and I would
stand together and repudiate it."
The facts did not count.
At last there is explanation of the
studious Misrepresentation of the
bulletins coming from the White
House in the autumn of 1919. The
rule of pitiless publicity did rot ap-
ply. The White House camarilla
was resolved to keep the facts under
cover and set up barricades. 1t did
not care what would be the effect on
the public's business, or even on the
great issue with which the fame of
Woodrow Wilson was identified. Ex-
cept for Mr.. Wilson'S illness and his
consequent immurement, it is prob
able the Versailles Treaty would have
been ratified. Not from a bed of
pain can any man Judge a compli-
Gated problem, and the situation in
the Senate was not known by him
and could not be known. Had Mr..
Marshall become acting President it
Is almost certainty the treaty
would have been ratified and this
country have entered the League of
Nations. AS it was, little informa-
ton reached the sickroom except that
filtered through narrow partisan,
interested in petty politics; and so
Mr.. Wilson never had chance to
know the nature Of the mistake he
was making.
New-York tribune., 1921-12-04

do not take up the pen TO discuss
the proposals made by Mr.. Hughes at
the Washington Conference | declare
at once that I know nothing finer. If
anything could console us for the dis
asters of the war it would be to see
the lessons of the war so clearly un-
derstood and SO nobly applied. Here are
people who in terms of their capital
ships-for it is by these that naval
power is conventionally estimated-can

is worth three We can maintain this
enormous superiority. We have the means
to do it. But we won't. We invent the

we shall not build"
Timc--of which their fathers said,
"Time is money" and of which they
could say with even more reason
Time is power"-they give up--cede it
to others less powerful, and will per
nit the slower to catch up with them.
This act of England, America and
Japan, as brilliant as the SUMS rays
after tempest, has produced great
astonishment. In manifestations of
force we are not in the habit of seek
ing for any other cause than interest
In the history of former wars | see
only one movement comparable to this
that which caused the warrior souls
to embrace chivalry. 1t is reborn in
Hughes.
The idea not to misuse ones force,
to check it at the moment when it is
developing Indefinitely, presupposes a
ldifference, something of impondera-
Bile value, of which one of the cham
pions disposes. One must be very
strong to be generous. Colbert could
not have offered the Hollanders Mr.
Hughes's conditions, because the Solei]
Royal and sosae other constructions of
the shipbuilder Normand, with their
beautiful sculpturcd sterns, their
qnarterdecks, their hundred small can
mons, did not insure him q sufficiently
manifest superiority to the large mer-
lchant vessels of the North. The Soleil
Royal had neither the power nor value
of 'one of the capital ships.
Much greater in the fourteenth OF
fifteenth century was the disparity of
! force between a knight covered with
his Milan armor and troop of peas
ants barely equipped with bad pixies
Renan describes such an unequal com
bat to Berthelot, and wishes that sci
encc possessed by few persons may
give them domination over the vul-
gar. and thus maintain more surely
than in past centuries the autocratic
inequality. Renan, who was fierce
aristocrat, forgets that the laws OF
chivalry decreed that the man wear
ling the Milan armor should not make
bad use of his force.
/ And these laws were not exclusively
Christian. | am sure that Japan, which
at this moment in this point equals he,
two Christian partners, also find.
