Miss Rembaugh' S Statement
Detailing Her Handling of Cases Of
Incompetent Soldiers

To the Editor Of The Tribune.
Sir: / am writing to ask The Trios
une for space to state the facts in re-
gard TO certain attacks recently mads
against me in The New York Ameri.
can. In these attacks I arm accused,
mainly by implication, OF making isrss
sums of money from cases Of ineomps-
tent soldiers sent me by the Red Cross
and Of trying to extort fees from suca
soldiers greater than those allowed me-
by the court in the incompetency pro-
ceedings. This accusation is absolutely
untrue. The facts of the whole tempest
In teapot are rs follows:
About year ago was asked by the
Red Gross IL would handle some Of
these cases. I expected to have one
or two referred to me. In fact. have
had twenty-one, though only a few
have been completed. These incomps-
tency proceedings require each two ap.
plications to the Supreme Court on mo.
tions and a trial before sheriT's OF
other jury. The court fees payable
run from s15.45, the lowest shown in
my accounts, to $3.50, the highest

stance paid from my own pocket.

receiving the fees awarded by the court
in the proceeding out Of the compsn-
sation paid the soldier. Such fees are
properly small (s75 being the highest,
Indeed, ! am in full agreement with ths
contention that no fee or disbursement
should be payable out Of the soldiers
estate and that the government should
attend to this matter.
At this time realized that the nums
Der Of cases and the expense Of ham
ding them had become so great that
could not afford to go on at that rats
Of loss. From all these cases I have
received s17s.75 and have disbursed
s137.so, leaving s4o.s5 to apply to an
Office cost Of s522.50. have thereSors
stood an actual loss Of S4s1.95.
I therefore notified the Red Cross
that I could not continue unless the
Red Cross or, where possible, the rela-
tives made UP the difference in actual
cost only. There was, naturally, never
any question of asking the incompetent
soldier to pay anything more, no mat
ter what loss. This has been explained
to each recent applicant. They were
never asked 500 as fee; only told
that the cost, including fee and dis
buraements, would probably come to
between s75 and 800. A subtraction Of
the average disbursement shows where
tine fee would be.
This is the complete history Of the
whole business. 1t seems to me an en-
tirely proper situation. In fact, had
the tenlerity to think had been rather
decent in doing all this work at loss
and have therefore been rather stunned
at the attitude of the paper in question.

Recasting Article X
Difference Between League for
Peace and a League of-Nations


Peace and a League of-Nations
TO the Editor Of The Tribune.
Sir: The semi official statement from
France Of tentative suggestion for
the recasting of Article x is intere st..
ing and useful. It is the first evidence
Of recognition Of the fundam entail
difference between league for peace
and league Of nations; the first
recognition of the difference between
the two underlying conceptions: the
cne being that Of 81 several undertak-
ing" the other Of "a joint obligation.' %
America can agree and has always
in the past been ready to agree to non
aggression on her own part, and she can
agree thereto with any one OR all other
nations, but she cannot agree and never
in the past has agreed to guarantee for
other nations that they shall be, non
aggressive. That is an undertaking
they must enter into each for itself
To put it more broadly, any form Of
international agreement which provides
for organs Of government or for ell
forcement Of it's terms is one that is
conceived in terms Of rower and there
by one which involves the principle OF
super-government, and it is there
fore at outs with our policies, our
theories, our established form of gov
ernment and our conception of what
can be safely attained.
Indeed, this might be taken as a
touchstone: If proposals which are
made embrace the creation Of organs
Of government or provide for all en-
forcement of their terms, America is
not in position to consider them. Ii
they do not they can be examined and
considered upon their merits.

The Hate Fomenters
Says an unnamed Washington ct

Says an unnamed Washington cor
respondent of, The World:
"a few years ago America held up
raised the flaming torch as beacon
Of hope to world sorely distressed,
SO spiritually spent and physically
broken, 80 weary and heart crushed,
that, despite its magnificent courage
and superb sacrifices, it almost de-
SPARED. To no people has there ever
been such glorious opportunity pre-
sented as to the American people
when they entered the war. Into their
hands was put the sword Of the
avenger, and while the blade still ran
with the blood Of the foe they beat
the sword Of justice into a symbol Of
hate. To America was offered the
moral leadership of mankind and to
give to the world q new code; by the
example Of her own disinterested
service to lead the world to righteous
ness. For few months that leader
ship the United States held and it
was better world in consequence,
and then the powers of evil again
prevailed. All that has been gained
was lost. Sacrifice, devotion, unself-
ishness no longer reigned and hate
alone ruled"
Here is language, as Mr.. Dooley
once said, ''yeh cud waltz to-" and
so familiar one can repeat it when
asleep.
For any nation to brag Of moral
leadership is of doubtful wisdom
eulogy along this line being better
left to others--but the point may be
conceded that a great opportunity
was frittered away. How? BY a
pride Of opinion that naturally led
to a fall, by an ecstasy Of stubborn
ness, by self-sufficiency that proved
to be insufficiency. Discord was in
troduced by those who conceived it
their duty to foster suspicion Of our
war partners. The peoples which
had at least dcne as well as we had
learned they were ruled by selfish
and narrow imperialism. The mean
1nslnuation was constant that onlv
Germany could be trusted.
1t is time to cease calumniatinp
The spirit of hate does not rule. So
far as it exists it flows for the great.
er part from the element that first
held Germany should be allowed her
way; next, that deadlock peace was
all that could be hoped for, and, last
~, behind the screen of a false read
ing of the Fourteen Points, fought
for further punishment Of the inno-
cent. 1t was Germany, always Ger
many, that was served--the Germany
that was the apostle of might and
the hysnner of hate. No wonder the
American people lost patience with
the hypocrisy that suddenly became
solicitous for righteousness and

Shoots From the Young Idea

AN essay on Success, by en- 9Th term
high school STUDENT,
One Of the highest attainments that
can be reached by man in his lifetime,
is success. Success being one of his
greatest achievements there is no doubt
that there were many obstacles that
were necessary to pass. Beginning at
the bottom Of the ladder, he gradually
rose, rung by rung, as a result Of his
perseverance, seif-sacrifice, and ambi-
tiousness, until he reached the top.
Jealousy and Hatred on the part of
others, were like obstacles in his path.
He gained many enemies and few
friends but nevertheless he reached his
goal by fair play.

To the Editor Of The Tribune.

To the Editor OF The Tribune.
Sir: have been going to the
parks on Sunday afternoons in order
to see them in full use, and I advise
others to see them at this time. On q
Monday morning we see the disorder
and the wear, but it is only in seeing
the cause of this disorder that we can
realize the labor and difficulty Of keep
ing the parks up to their present
standard.
In Prospect Park one Sunday there
was a band concert playing to capacity,
and on the adjoining meadow were thou
sands of people walking or sitting on
the grass. The walks were crowded,
especially in the region Of the con-
cert grove, the boat house and the
upper part Of the lake. There was no
disorder, no rowdyism, but great
crowd taking its pleasure rather seri-
ously. The boats on the lake were all
in use--one couple overheard say
they had waited two hours to get a
boat.
dikon. Much of it is sufficiently we'll
kept and rich in its materials to be
worthy of the finest country estate.
The Sunday Cro,ed
On another Sunday went into Cen
trail Park at Fifth Avenue and 10eth
Street. 1t is one OF the crowded re-
gions and the police were active in
their efforts to keep people off the
grass. A great crowd was on the
North Meadow, and around its edges,
but it was not disorderly; it simply
hadn't room enough. SO 1t was also
on the lake and in other parts Of the
park.
No one knows what the actual fig
ures of attendance are at any New
York park, and no ono can guess what
the maximum capacity of park may
be. 1t is certain that as the number
increases the damage to the park be-
comes greater, because It is physically
impossible to protect the planting and
grass at certain congested points.
Changes in the park, such as broaden
ing the walks, making more paved
areas where the crowds congregate and
fences in some places, would help con-
siderably in reducing the injury due
to crowds, but, after all, isn't the real
cure for park congestion more parks,
just as more sunways are the cure for
subway congestion?
Brooklyn, with population of 2,ols,-
366, has one acre Of parks for every
1882 people. The Bronx, with popu-
lation Of 732,016, has one acre of parks
for every 1s5 people, not including the
new Bronx River parkway.
Manhattan has 1913 psr cent Of its
area in parks, or 1,446.6 acres. On this
basis Brooklyn should have 1870 acres
in parks.
The Bronx has 10 per cent of It's
ares in parks. This percentage for
Brooklyn would mean 7,41o acres.
It may be urged that the Bronx parks
are for Manhattan as much as for the
Bronx, and this is true of Brooklyn
In fact, it is now easier to get to
| Brooklyn from lower Manhattan than

newal that might be advanced by dis
interested nations. From the stand
point Of Canada, however, there is an
other--ths argument Of the United
States. There is y widespread belief
in the Republic that Great Britain is
bound by treaty to support Japan in q
war with the United States. It Is, Of
course, wrong belief, becsuse under
the Peace Commission Treaty of 1914,
passed by the United States Senate,
Britain Is preserved from such ter
rible contingency. Nevertheless, this
American belief exists. It Ia held by
v&st number Of people who do not
trouble TO think about treaties; and to
it's existence can be traced much Of the
distrust which exists among our neigh
bors in respect to British aims. The
formal renewal Of the Anglo-Japanese
alliance will strengthen and deepen
this belief. It will place 8 powerful
weapon in the hands Of anti-British
propagandists, it will SOW suspicion
and distrust; and declaration that it
does not involve the United States will
touch only the few and fail to impress
the many.
premier Meighen, whose views may
go long way in deciding the issue,
cannot but be impressed with this con-
sideration. Mr.. Rowell, whose knowl-
edge of foreign affairs is surpassed by
few Canadians, put the case forcibly in
the Commons some weeks ago when he
said:

The Park Shortage


Brooklyn will be for all Manhattan and
Brooklyn.
If the population of Brooklyn ever
reaches the density of that of Manhat-
tan, 161 an acre, it will be 8,oo7, ,14s,
which might happen in fifty or sixty
years. At that time it would need, at
1000 people an acre of park, 5000
acres, which is only little more than
Is per cent Of the area.
Central Park, of 943 acres, was be-
gun in 1857, when New York (Man-
hattan) had only s13,Sss people.
Prospect Park, of 52e acres, was be-
gun about 1870, when the population
OF Brooklyn was A1e,e21.
These parks were not much in ad-
vance Of the 1000 people an acre
standard, so we should at once proceed
with the purchase and development of
parks amounting to S1S acres in Brook
lyn, which. in addition to the 1900
acres existing, will give 201s, or one
acre for each 1000 population.
Taking the area of all boroughs (ex-
cept mond), 164,846 acres, 10 per
cent is 16,4s4. All parks in these four
boroughs to-day amount to 7,2505
scres. To keep the proportion for the
whole city up to the present standard
OF Manhattan, there should be in
Brooklyn and Queens (since Manhat-
tan can have few more parks and the
Bronx is we'll supplied) 9.23A acres
additional.
Town planners and park experts are
loatt to admit that any smaller pro-
vision would be safe. I believe that q
higher percentage OF total area in
parks would be better and would make
it arbitrarily 15 per cent (the proper
tion in the Bronx, determining al
ways to have in use at least one acre
for each 1000 OF population. English
town planners try to provide Ave acres
for each 1000 Of population.

ssCood Relations 44II Roussd''

"The government OF this country
cannot afford to ignore the feeling that
exists in the United States in reference
to this alliance. I submit for the con-
sideration Of the government the ques-
tion whether it would not be found,
after careful examination, that it is in
the interest Of good relations between
the British Empire and the United
States on the one hand and between
Japan and the United States on the
other, in the interest Of good relations
all round, that this treaty should not
be renewed. Not that we love
Japan less; but we want to be friends
with every nation; we do not want any
alliances that will prevent US from
playing the role of friend to every ma
ton in the world

has been taken by Premier Smuts. 1t
is the stand that has been taken, in
part, by Mr.. Hughes Of Australia Che

both the United States and Japan and
also by Mr.. Massey of Nsw Zealand.
And while it is perhaps welfthat Cana
da should preserve an open mind on
the matter, realizing that there may
be factors which, from a British
standpoint, make renewal Of the treaty
desirable, it is a stand that, we re-
peat, could be taken with justice and
reason by the representatives Of the

Is Per Cent Standard

For the whole city, excluding Rich
mond, We should have 24,726 acres, or
10 per cent Of area, in parks, more
than three times what we have now.
We who believe that city life is the
best life should see to it that the city
does not choke from increase, but that
it be always reasonable in its extern
sions and grow as a whole, not part
by part.
We must have more parks and we
must have them now, even if it is
necessary to get special legislation to
permit the issue of the long term
serial bonds required. The full pay
ment for any park should be deferred
until the surrounding district is fully
developed, since a park is never
scrapped, never wears out and with
competent maintenance never depreci-
ates in value.

GUNNER must stand trial in the dis
trict court for the murder of Marie
Wick, Justice Bingham decided at the
conclusion of the preliminary hear
ing yesterday afternoon. He refused
the. defense motion to dismiss the de-
fendant because Of lack of sufficien:
evidence. va -.
In presenting his argument to the
court States Attorney Green built up
a wall Of circumstantial evidence in
tended to exclude the possibility of the
crime having been committed by any
other man than the defendant. The
happenings of the night from the time
Miss Wick stepped off the. train at
Fargo until she was found dead in her
Tchamber at the Prescott hotel the fol-
lowing morning, were related in Sc
j'quence to- tit in with the testimony OF
the 25 or more witnesses who have
testified for the state.
The only tilt of counsel during the
entire hearing came when Judge Bar
nett called Sheriff Kraemer to the
stand early in the day to testify to
|declaratiOn made by GUNNER on June
IA. 1t was the first move in an effort
to get rid of the damaging testimony
given by'Gummar to officials while he
was being grilled in cell at the Cass
county Jail. States Attorney Green
objected on the ground that the cross
examination was an improper one be-
cause the witness was being asked to
testify to declarations made not to
him but to the states attorney. The
court allowed the first question, bu!
sustained Green's second objection
relative to the same matter, allowing
the testimony considered to. be the
mainstay of the states mass of evi'
