Retired Officers Free Speech
Open Discussion Of Naval Topics Useful the Service and The
Nation, Says Rear Admiral Goodrich
% the Editor of The Tribune.

To the Editor of The Tribune.
Sir: If my friend Rear Admiral
Wiley were little less vague and a
little more specific, the protest he made
in Sundays Tribune would not be SO
difficult to answer and it would be of
correspondingly greater value. I am
sure he would deprecate the inference
which the lay reader is not unlikely
to draw from his exprcssions-tha a
retired officer, ipso facto, has no bust
ness to hold opinions that traverse the
views Of those in temporary authority
at Washington; the only things he
ought to hold being his mouth and his
pen. 1T would be sad indeed if such
ruling should, in the near future
when he in turn goes upon the retired
list, deprive the navy of the interest
and counsel Of so capable an officer as
Admiral Wiley.
One Of the few Joys incident to being
retired I speak as one Of that CON
temned class) is the freedom not only
to think but also to speak for ones
self and for the navy as a whole, as
one sees it, unhampered by the dread
OF official displeasure and its disas-
trous consequences. 1t Is not impossi-
BILE that "these retired officers" to use
Admiral Wiley's words-for OF course
L do not know who, precisely, he has
in mind-may be right after all Ger
tainly the fact that they are on the
shelf proves conclusively that they are
not without experience. 1t may even
be suspected that, being so placed, they
are in better position to learn the
general trend of service thought than
those on the active list, the Junior
members of whom are naturally re-
luctant to voice their criticisms through
fear that by SO doing they might preju-
dice their promotion, now secured only
by selection-a potent weapon for ruin
ing the career Of those of independent
thought.
Admiral Wiley speaks Of the particu-
lar retired officers whose activities for
the good of the service according to

Roosevelt Kept Posted
His Feeling as to Wilson's App.a
for a Democratic Congress


for Democratic Congress
To the Editor of The Tribune,
Sir: Tho apology. or explanation Q,
excuse of Mr.. Tumulty, in THE Times
to-day, for Mr.. Wilson's appeal for .
Democratic Congress in 1918, well nal
be used to show the late Colons
Theodore Roosevelt's acumen and bi:
instantaneous quickness Of thought srt
decision.
From early in 1918 It was nv roct
fortune to be one of Colonel Rooss
velt's trusted and confidential aids il
Westinghouse work for him on gar.
Gus lines and to keep him posted esps
cially on what was going on under TIL
surface. Some time before q hint o.
the secret leaked out to even the news
paper correspondents got wind Of thi
fact that MIR. Wilson was considerIu:
the advisability OF issuing an appss
to the voters for a Democratic Cor
gress, and l took the news 10 th.
Colonel in New York.
"Do you think he'll do it,," ask,i
the Colonel.
Il don't doubt IT." ] answered; 'bui
1t will be easy to discount it IN ths
mean time. SO it will fall fiat when Il
comes"
mo, not" said the Colonel, instantly;
"that's not the way. Keep quiet, arc
let him do tit would be the bss
thing that could happcn."
Whether or not the Colonel wn
right the record shows.
Incidentally, l may say that Coionsl
Roosevelt had strong hope that Wils0'
would supplement this appeal by >
second one, and instructed me to ksee
eyes and ears open and to let hn
know the moment 1 heard anything
further. I learned on good authofls'
that no other appeal would be sofIs
coming and that newspaper adgers''
ing would be used just before Elee1iO'
Day, but not until O'Clock IN nv
evening Of the Sunday before Eicea0'

to notify the Colonel, which dia y

Wizards of the Cue

Whoever writes the story Of "De-
cisive Battles of the Billiard World
will have climactic chapter on the
fall Of Willie Hoppe and the rise Of
Young Jake Schaefer.
'Lilc father, like son." holds true.
Young Jake was born to the cue.
Thirteen years ago the elder Schae-
fer, the "Wizard," defeated Hoppe in
tournament play. But, save for the
random winning of game by the
japanese expert, Yamada, in 1912
no player since the "Wizard" had
been able even to frighten Willie un-
til the junior wizard dazed him with
400 to 26 score on Tuesday and
broke the tie-and probably Hopes
heart--with 500 to 346 victory on
Wednesday.
Now that Schaefer has proved the
feat possible it will be no surprise to
see Hoppe defeated by one or an
other of his rivals. To be THOUGHT
invincible is to have the game half
won. Hopes domination of the bill
lard field has been one of the mar
vels Of sport. For years he has been
absolute ruler of the green cloth.
Few had the tenlerity to invite a
walk-over by challenging him and
the experience of those with whom,
he was willing to chalk cues was not
Of = sort to encourage the others. II

Collins the Friend

Now it is Curzon, the British For
eign Minister, who is at the sorry
business Of adding fuel to the flames
OF Anglo French wrangling. So do
ing, he adds no more to his repute as
\ sound statesman than BRAND
added to his repute for politeness
when he permitted gentlemen in his
encourage to pin-prick the British,
and himself unfortunately failed to
mention the British dead in France.
Both our British and French
friends, when they indulge in testy
iaterchanges, must know exactly
what they are doing. In the first
place, they are misrepresenting in
both cases the peoples behind them.
1t is not for an instant to be believed
that the French people are unmind-
full of the ties that bind them to
Great Britain or that the British
people have any sort of hostility to
France.
In the second place, these foment-
ers of verbal discord, no matter
which language they speak, are do
ing what they can to lose the peace.
The German hope to-day, as it was
during the war and has been ever
since, is in Ally division. France
cannot get along without Great Brit
ain nor can Great Britain get along
without France; and the world can
not we'll get along if the two do not
c.eave together.
Who began the brick-throwing? It
is profitless to seek answer to this
question. The melancholy fact is
that both sides have indulged in it.
The insulting expressions of English
journalists, especially those Of the
Manchester school, are naturally
trying to French temper. The French
know, as Lady Bentinck has report
I'd In her sketch of how the Kaiser
acted when her guest, that the Ho-
henzollern's favorite postwar au-
thor is J. NJ. Keynes. Likewise the
British do not enjoy the mordant
wit Of Stephane Lauzanne and other
French journalists who have been
sticking pins into John Bull, who, of
course, forgets that such Franco
phobes as Gibbs and Wells are Eng
lishmen.
President Harding and Secretary
Hughes are men Of benevolent spirit
and they see the big things. Is it
not possible for them to mediate and
bring to stop the small-minded
practice of saying bitter things to
friend, even though partially true?
So far as the exchange of missiles is
born of a desire to stand first in
American opinion it is perhaps
enough to say that most Americans
arc familiar with the quotation:

Literary Pessimisnn
(From Tho wash!noton STAR

A certain amount of pessimism ex-
pressed by the literary students of
conference affairs should not cause
too great encouragement. Literary
men are often Influenced in their ex-
pressions by the fact that the ad-
verse view is always likely to be the
most interesting. A knowledge of the
possibilities of failure is the best
stimulus to success. Tho task that is
regarded as too easy is never likely
to bs we'll performed.

WHY,
1t Means Good Fortune TO
Dream Of Peas,

Every known vegetable has a mean
Ing to the mystic interpreters when II
appears In dream and with regard to
most Of them the oracles are definite
enough. But with regard to peas the
interpretations are rather confusing
and at times contradictory. The great
majority Of the mystics, however, see
In a dream of peas a fortunate omen
for those engaged in business.
Many of the oracles speak Of Q
dream of eating peas as that most IA
vorable for business success md make
no mention of a dream Of merely see
ing peas without eating them. One or
two qualify the good omen IF dream
of eating peas by specifying that they
must seem luscious to tic taste" in
order that the dream may attain its
full henpacence These same oracles
insist that the peas eaten in tho dream
be cooked for, say they, to dream Of
eating raw peas implies vacations and
diSappOintments.
One or two lonely prophets say that
to see green peas in dream is sign
of good health, but If they are cooked
it is sign Of illness. This with re-
gard to the being cooked Is, 1t will be
seen, at direct variance with the vast
majority of the mystic interpretations.

NO BUILDINGS ON THE SUN
Why Some Observers Imagined That
They Saw Structures on Face

Well into the last century it was be-
lieved that the sun was inhabited, not
with puny beings like ourselves, but
with people weighing several tons and
of propOrticn@te strength.
The sun, being a body of most ire
mpndouS size, must necessarily nave
inhabitants worthy of it's grandeur.
And, having men, women Gnd children.
it must havn Lut,l as in which to
house them and to carry on their in
dustries.
Hence some observers, with an in
genuity which did credit to their I'M
aginative faculties, were certain that
they had discovered buildings on the
dark, solid body of the sun. The
buildings were not claimed to be in
regular formation, such as vast city
In the sun might be supposed to con-
tain, but were merely traces"
That was how these observers al
lowed their imagination to run riot

was not dark body on the sun at all,
