Russian Relief

It is Of little practical consequence
what the Soviet government of Rus
STA agrees to do or to refrain from
doing. It's word is not good. It's
chief functionaries have boosted of
their adeptness in deliberate lying.
A gentleman as well informed as
Herbert Hoover knows this, and he
is sensible enough to draw the inevi-
table deductions.
What NJ. Hoover is concerned
about is not what Lenine may say,
but what he may do, and this con-
earn does not primarily relate to the
issue Of whether the starvation is as
cribable to Bolshevisn This matter
has been put aside-in the opinion
of many unwisely so-becausc if
Bolshevism IS the cause Of the starva-
ton the best method Of relief seems
to be 70 strike at the cause rather
than It's effects.
But whether this argument Is good
or bad il IS obvious that the relief
administration has not adopted it. It
would 20 into Russia solely to carry
on humanitarian work, and for this
purpose only. 1t is dedicated to
the job Of putting food into Russian
stonachs, not to putting ideas into
Russian heads. That it sincerely
purposes to respect the limits Il i'm
poses on itself il not open to doubt.
Bat 10 carry on this humanitarian
labor freedom o. action IS indis-
pensable. Soviet control OF the dis
tribut;o- Of supplies means mystery
as TO where they will arrive. If
Lenine is granted the privilege OF
throwing relief agents into Jail if he

likely u abuse it. 4 man who boasts
of his willingness to lie cannot be

Enforcing Amendments
If the Eighteenth Is Upheld. Why No,
the Fourteenth and Fifteenth

To the Editor of The Tribune.
Sir: The editorial in to-day's Tribune
on cine Stanley Amendment" to the
snti-beer bill says its purpose "is to
make Of the guaranty of personal lib
erty contained in the Fourth Amend
ment something more than the bywort.
it has been of late among public SER
wants"
What about the Fourteenth and
Fifteenth amendments Of our Federal
Constitution? Is the guaranty Of the
right of franchise to the citizens of
the United States contained in the
Fourteenth Amendment something
more than the byword it has been
for the last fifty years in ali the South
ern states? Is violation of the guaranty
contained in the Fifteenth Amendment
to be rewarded by undue representa-
ton in the Congress from all the
Southern states?
Are constitutional amendments to be
enforced or are they to be defed and
nullied? Why all this agitation and
worry over the enforcement of the
Eighteenth Amend nent, when for more
than fifty years the Fourteenth and
Fifteenth amendments have been dead
letters?
In brief, how can the congressman.
who take an oath to obey and uphold
the Constitution, insist upon the en-
forcement Of the Eighteenth Amend
mcnt and oppose the enforcement of
the Fourteenth and Fifteenth amend
ments?
Will you please explain-if you can
why it is not the duty of the Con
gress to p Ks enforcing legislation to
provide for >srryng the Fourteenth
and Fifteenth amendments into effect ?

To the Editor of The Tribune.
Sir: An editorial in your issue of
August II on Game and the Nation"
refers to some rather remarkable fig
ures in the report OF the Minnesota
Game and Fish Commission. This re-
port, apart from the figures on ducks,
which You quote, also gives the num-
Der Of ruffed grouse ("partridgc")
killed in year in Minnesota as nearly
half million. The report of the Penn
sylvania Game Commission also gave
about this same number Of grouse
killed in the same period If these two
states give total of nearly a million,
what must the total bag of the United
States be, with all New England and
so many other states to be heard from ?
We look upon Scotland as the coun-
try in which the production CT grouse
has been scientifically" and highly de-
vcloped. The shootings there bring
enormous rentals. Many real estate
firms in London and elsewhere are en-
gagged in making leases of these shoot

moor is carefully kept, year after year,
and rentals are based upon the average
bag Some of these firms publish books
containing all these particulars, with
records of every moor in Scotland,
whether for lease or not. Any one
who will take the trouble to foot IN
the total of all bags of all these
moors will find the number Of grouse
Killed in season is less than 100000.
If we accept these figures as cor
rect it is difficult to understand the
ground for the frequently made state
ment that grouse are diminishing in
numbers in the United States.

King Peter of Serbia was wont to
boast that his grandfather, Kara
George, the "Black George" of CEN
tury ago, came Of sturdy peasant
stock and not of royal blood. He
was a self-made prince, who had led
the first revolt against the Turkish
oppressors of Serbia in 1904. His
son, Alexander, reigned from 1912 to
1858, and his grandson, Peter, since
1903.
Peter was born in the second
year of Alexander's reign, in the
days before the Turk had been COM
pletely driven out Of the Balkans
and while Russia and Turkey were
still disputing the control Of the vari-
Gus nationa!ities in eastern Europe.
Alexander had succeeded men,
Der of the rival princely house of
Obrenovitch, that had risen to power
after BLACK George" had disap-
peared. 1t WAS an Obrenovitch who
led the second revolt against Turkey,
in 1917. And SO, when another
Obrenovltch succeeded Alexander in
1858, it left a deep sense Of bitter
ness against the Obrenovitch family
in the mind Of young Peter as he
went into exile. He took up the
profession of arms, some said with
the expectation of finally winning
back his throne. He was graduated
from st. Cyr, the French West FONT,
and was an officer in the Foreign
Legion during the Franco-P russian
War, where he earned the medal OF
the Legion Of Honor.
Of his life during the next thirty
years there is little to say He mar
ried the Princess Zorka, daughter of
King Nicholas of Montenegro, and
lived in exile in France and Switzer-
land. His two passions seemed to
be to GUST the family of Obrenovitch
and to see Serbia prosper.
When finally, in 1908, the last of
the Obrenovitches-King Alexander
and his wife, Queen Draga, and vari-
Gus relativcs--wcre murdered in the
palace at Belgrade, Peter was named
King. Word soon spread that he
had had a part in the conspiracy,
and feeling ran so high against him
that diplomatic representatives were
withdrawn from Serbia. But the
charge was not supported, and in a
short time the old game OF interna
tlonal intrigue ceased. Russia and
Austria had been playing for Ser
bian favor, and the Obrenovitches
had been under Austrian influence.
SO Peter favored the Russians, and
in return Russia was the first to ac-
knowledge his kingship.
10 call Peter merely a pawn in
the game of Austrian and German
enmity toward pan-Slavism. how
ever, is to bclittlc the man under
whose rule Serbia commenced to
prosper. No mere nonentity would
have issued the Serbian reply to the
Austrian ultimatum at the outbreak
Of the war. No mere figure
head would have led his troops in
person at the age of scvcnty-one
and then into bitter exile. To taste
of many defeats and yet realize his
mes two great ambitions without
losing his simplicity shows that he
must have possessed many Of the
sturdy qualities Of the original Kara
George. Where Kara George had
failed King Peter succeeded. Not
only was the Turkish yoke thrown
Off, but triumphant Jugo- Slav state
was created, and a Karagcorgcvitch
ruled over the kingdom Of the
Initial Serbs, Croats and Slovcncs

some sort Of runabout in which to
transport his dinner or dance part
ner; but if there are to be chaperons
he will have to have a touring car.
The upllcep Of a chaperon is no
mean item in these days of high
cost Of food. The amount of carbo-
hydrates, protein, earth salts and
vitamines that may be consumed by
chaperon in the course of an
afternoon and evening is by no
means to be despised. Is there no
way by which the youth of the land
can avoid the threatened peril?

"AZready Disarmed'
Can o. Delegates November Conference Claim That One
Plane Navy Is Incapable Of Offensive Warfare?
By Quarterback

AS the date for the conference on
disarmament approaches it is aston
ishing to note that no department of
the United States government-cer-
tainly not the Department of War or
Navy-has given official or unofficial
evidence that it realizes the limitations
imposed by modern conditions upon the
employment of armies and navies in
war overseas.
We constantly hear statesmen, as
we'll as officers Of the army and navy,
advocating preparedness and emphasize
ing the need Of a "strong navy" and
q we'll organized army to command the
sea" and to provide for the emergency
Of war with nations across the Atlantic
or the Pacific. But in all these dis
crssions there has been little or no
consideration given TO the weapons and
the means that would DE absolutely es-
sential in carrying war beyond our own
shores. The most important elements
of "strong navy" in 1921 have not
been recognized. And yet it will not be
possible for any conference intelligent
ly to decide questions of dsarma-
ment or limitation of armament until
the restrictions forced by modern
weapons against the use of armies and
navies in future intercontinental wars
have been fully recognized.
New-York tribune. [volume] (New York [N.Y.]) 1866-1924, 1921-08-18

and as a result surface navy alone
was provided fora navy SO devoid of
modern weapons that it cannot safely
cross the sea!
The sinking of the German ships
with bombs has forced the Navy De-
partment and Congress begrudgingly to
admit the need of a naval air force
They now propose to build one or two
carriers! But this small force will not
suffice to give us command of the air
against any nation with which we
might by any chance go to war 1t
still leaves our feet at the mercy Of
an enemy that has had the good judg-
ment to supply its navy with an ade-
quate air force. Such a puny contri-
button accomplishes nothing except
perhaps to postpone for few minutes
the inevitable defeat of our feet in a
sea battle.
Moreover, the report of the bomb
that sank the Ostfriesland had barely
died away when we heard the still
louder REPORT of the board Of OBJ
servers to the effect that the battle
ship remains the queen of the seas.
Paul Jones, when he was told that the
captain of the Scraps had been
knighted, declared that if he could
again meet the gallant Englshman in
battle he would promote him to
duke! And SO the sinking of the
No. 81 -,
2,Oo0-pound bombs, becomes an argu-
ment for additional dreadnoughts
Had 4,000-pound bombs been used she
might have sunk in ten minutes and
the logic of the Navy Department would
then have demanded double the num-
Der of battleships!
1t is rot contended that battleships
should be scrapped as yet But it
ing tests, that there must be a change
in their design. We have enough of
the old type. Air forces and sub
marines are needed to protect and sup
plement the surface feet.
Engload's Mace! Program
The decision of the British Admiralty
to build four super-Hoods at this time
will, no doubt, be noted by the disarma-
ment conference. 1t has already given
renewed life to the fainting ultra-con-
servatiyc element in our navy. But
F'nglsnd's policy does rot justify ours:
/. England is building only four
up-to-date ships designed in 1921.
The United States is completing
fourteen ships designed years ago!
2. England has an air force.
The United States practically has
none.
8. England has airplanc carriers.
The United States has none.
4. England is not spending all her
money on surface ships.
The United States is spending it's
money for little else.
5. England has fleet submarines.
The United States has none.
6. England will have thrce-rlanc
navy.
The United States will have hclr-
less oneplane feet.
thus there is wide difference be-
tween the policies of England and the
United States. Eneand's is NJ to date.
Ours Is out Of date If we vera TO fol-
low England's sensible example we
would complete six dreadnoughts. Civ
ing us twenty and we would trans
n
form the remaining eleven capital ships
into nirplanc carriers

armies in Orerseas Var

1t is evident that armies will be free
ly employed in continental wars as in
the past. But is it not clear that the
perfection Of subm arincs and air forces
and the methods of using mines, tor
redoes and poison gas may practically
prevent the future transportation of
large armies over thousands Of miles of
ocean? In other words, may not inter
continental wars as a rule be waged by
navies alone? In this event the prob
lem of disarmament will be simplified
especially so far as the United States
is concerned. We may leave armies
largely out of consideration. We can
not be invaded. We cannot again in
wade an enemy nation overseas-if that
nation is supplied with modern de-
fcnsivc weapons. For this reason the
Borah resolution or any resolution i'm
posing restrictions on naval armament
alone would suffice practically to re-
licve the United States Of the burden
of preparedness for war. After gar
rsoning our foreign possessions the
size Of our army could be determined
by the probable demands of war on
