70 the Editor Of The Tribune.

To the Editor Of The Tribune.
Sir: have read with interest "Quar-
terdeck's" articles In Sundays Tribune.
He makes sweeping assertions that air
planes can destroy this or demolish
that-this or that being forts, fleets or
whatever he may at the moment wish
to disparage. Then he proceeds to de-
ducc, since these things can be de-
stroycd, that they are obsoleta. OF
course they can be destroyed. If they
could not be there would be no wars.
a robust man with broomstick can
rout company Of infantry, provided
the infantry docs not resist.
Neither our brothers of the navy nor
we OF the army expect that the air
service will leave us unsupported by
aircraft in the next war. In other
words, an effort by the enemy to secure
a base on our coast will not consist Of
fight between his air feet and our
coast forts. II will be an action be-
tween our planes and anti-aircraft artil-
lcry on Que side against the enemy's
aircraft on the otLsx, supported, wher-
ever possible. b1 his artillery, while
our guns on land reply to the guns Of
his ships.
Quarterback" states that the Cor
mans emplaced no guns to kesp the
British out Of the Sksgerrack. Evf-
IDENTIFY not, since the land on one side
of the Skagerrack Is Danish and on the
other Norwegian. And mines, subma-
rincs and torpedoes did not suffice to
keep the British out Of the Baltic.
British naval officers will delight to
learn how lightly "Quarterdeck" blots
from history's page some Of tho most
glorious performances Of the British
navy, due to the daring penetration Of
the Baltic by their submarines and
light craft.
Why does Quarterback" quote only in
part from Admiral Sims? This is a
vital question We are discussing. Let's
have the whole truth. Has Admiral
battleships and seacoast forts obsolete :?
He has said what every sane military
man says, that nation, to wage war
across the sea, must control the sub
surface, the surface and the air; which
is just another way of saying that
national defense, to be effective, must
be balanced.
Of course, forts do not prevent in
vasion; they only help to prevent 1t.

For Veteran Preference
Amendment Has Been Approved by
Successive Stats Legislatures

TO the Editor Of The Tribune.
Siss A construction has been placed
upon ths wording Of tho constitution
Of thiA State under which Il Il held to
be Impossible - give consideration at
examinations for civil positions for
service rendered with che armed
forces. This condition imposss espec-
lal hardship uron men from the mill
tary service for tho reason that con-
sideration may be, and frequently is,
given Tor experience In almost every
class Of WORK performed In civil en-
ployment.
The injustice Of this, in 10 Tar as II
applies to veterans Of the Civil War,
has been remedied by an amendment
to tho constitution enacted in 1894.
Upon November next ezch voter
Of this stats will be handed ballot
containing number Of proposed amend
inents to the constitution. Among these
amendments, on account Of It's i'm
portance properly placed frst on the
ballot, is one the purpose Of which is
to extend to veterans Of other wars
such portion Of the preference ac-
corded to veterans Of the Civil War as
experiences have shown to be advan-
tageous to tho state.
In its present form this amendment
has been voted upon by both houses
Of the State Legislature in 1917, 1919
and in 1921. That is, 1t has been voted
upon by six separate bodies of repre-
sentative men after Its merits had
been exhaustively discussed, and tn
every instance was approved by prac-
tically unanimous vote.
In form containing the objection
able features Of the amendment Of 1884
this measure came before the Consti-
tutional Convention Of 1916 and was
approved by vote of SO to 81. Had
the measure presented at that time
been In the form Of the one coming up
for vote upon next Election Day It
would have received approval by
vote as overwhelming as that by which
it has since been approved by the
legislatures Of 1917, 1919 and 1921.
There cannot be the slightest doubt
about this, for it was during the con-
vention Of 1915 that the defects in the
amendment Of 1894 were first illumi-
mated, and practically all the members
Of that convention who opposed pref
erence attributed their opposition to
the existence Of these defects, and
many Of those who voted against the
measure at that time have given it
active support ever since the objec-
tionable features have been stricken
out.
1t is impossible to avoid preference
in civil service, and not only in civil
service, but wherever there are more

Old MYTH About Bella.

There Is q poetic myth that silver
gives sweet tone to bells. According
to the bell founders, a silver bell would
give about the same tone as one Of
wood. The origin Of the myth, they
say, Is quantity mischievous. For the
want of transportation. It was the Gus.
tom In more ancient times for bell
casters to work In churchyards, where
they erected temporary foundries. The
parishoners would crowd about, and
to them the founders would beg for
more and more silver to give the bells
swepter ring. The silver later found
Its way into tavern tills, not into the
bells. .
