A Sign

From The Spectator. London
HOW shall know when the end of
things is coming?
The dark swifts fitting, the drone- bees
humming;
The fly in the window-pane bedazedlv
stunning;
Ice on the waterbrooks their clear chimes
dumbing-
How shall l know that the end Of things
is coming?
The stars in their stations will shine
glamorous in the black:
Emptiness, as ever haunt the great Star
Sack;
And Venus, proud and beautiful, so
down to meet the day,
Pale in phosphorescence Of the green sea
spray
How shall l know that the end of things
is coming?
HAPPY on strange roads shall be, the
moorland's vague around me:
Or counting I'D fortune to which Des-
tiny hath bound me;
or-Vanity of Vanities-the honey Of
the Fair;
Or greybeard, lost to memory, on the
cobbles in my chair
How shall know that the end of things
Is coming.
The drummers will be drumming; the
tiddlers at their drumming;
Nuns at their beads; the mummers at
their mumming;
Heavens solemn Seraph stoopt weary
DER his summing;
The palsied fingers plucking, the way
worn feet numbing-
And the end of things coming.

Wilcox for Mayor
New York, July %, 1921
To the Editor of The Tribune.

To the Editor of The Tribune.
Sir: Permit me to call attention to
the availability of William f. Wilcox
as candidate for Mayor.
A Republican should be nominated,
and there is no man in the city whose
Repbulicanism and ability have been
vouched for by higher authorities.
Mayor Seth Low appointed Mr.. Will
cox President of the Park Department,
President Roosevelt appointed him
Postmaster, Governor Hughes ap-
pointed him chairman Of the Public
Service Commission and the Republican
National Committee selected Mr.. Will
cox for chairman, after he had filled
the above mentioned official positions
with honor to the city. No man can
present higher Endorsements.

A Dead Comrade

From The Westminster Gasett.J
R'HERE is a name we have not said so
long
That in our very hearts that name is
shy.
Yet who once loved him more than Won
Oh, be more loyal to our love. and
strong
Could we not name him, laughing. "a Of
old,
Here on the open hills this summer dav.
And tell again the things he used to
say
Lest love too lonely laid grow sad and
cold?
All, it were grief indeed of dav came
When this familiar road and friend.v
And the gay memories all entwined with
these
Should make US only sigh! And ver;est
If we who knew such days, and such a
friend,
Should not go proud and smiling IN the
end!

Uncut Pages

When is there to be blue law
against selling books with uncut
pages? Such volumes are trial to
the indolent, waster Of time for the
energetic, a justification of the anger
Of the choleric, and for all persons
in hot weather an abomination.
Only one reader out Of every forty
seven, statistics tell us, possesses a
paper cutter. Only one out of every
470 can find the paper cutter when
needed. And as short hair is now
the style for both sexes, the female
of the species cannot resort to the
useful hairpin as easily as in the
Victorian era.
Pocket knives nearly always cut
badly. If they are too sharp they
rip at their own free will. If dull
they fray the pages. A postal card
will cut dozen leaves, but there
after is limp and pulpy. To the
possessor of a golden toothpick the
task is less burdensome. But how
many men in a thousand wear gilt
toothpicks to-day? A match is dis
tinctly inferior. An envelope is
worse than a postcard.
And any one knows what happens
when the finger is used to pillow a
way along the crease. The book
becomes gnawcd and beavered
Though the process be ruthlessly
FASTENED, even the most reckless will
shrink from destruction and leave
half the book unread.
And why do publishers continue tc
to avoid trimming edges? 1t is a
rudimentary> survival - another in
stance of practice OUTLYING the
reason that gave it birth. Time was
when book printing and book bind
ing were not associated crafts. The
buyer was assumed to have personal
preferences about coverings, as in
France to-day. Then the bibliophile
came along with his influence and

The Wethersheld Elm
To the Editor of The Tribune.

To the Editor of The Tribune
Sir: In a letter to The Tribune
Elias Vosseller,, of the Huntingdon
County (New Jersey Historical Society,
wrote about an oak tree in the Presby-
terrain churchyard at Basking Ridge,
N j., said to be 400 years old. and
described as twentyeight feet in cir
conference at the base and the limbs
having a reach Of 1913 feet.
1t might be of interest in this con-
nection to mention that there is in
Wethersfeld, Conn, an elm tree TO
which is attached the following in
scription:
Largest elm tree in United States
of America. Age (1916) $50 years.
Height, ninety-seven feet. Diameter
spread, lat feet. Circumference,
twenty eight feet" Why not include
this tree as eligible to the hall of
fame? There are many things his
torical in Wethersfeld we'll worth
knowing. HENRY C. BUCKHCUT.

sons. There would still, of course,
have to be some examination at our
ports, but most of the work would
have been done. With competent
consular service nine-tenths CT
those who are now rejected and ex-
Guided at Ellis Island would be re =
Jected on the other side, and would
thus be saved fruitless journey.
1t is not pleasant to think of human
cargoes held in close quarters
while the immigration administra~
ton counts quotas.

assigned a higher value to uncut
copies. But not one in thousand
now gratifes his individual taste in
binding, and the bibliophile shifts at
modern books, with their wood pulp
paper and their huge editions. Yet
publishers, under the dominion Of
custom, persist in trying the temper
Of their customers.

An Up-so-Date Program,

A new naval program may be briefly
outlined to meet modern conditions and
to prevent the waste of hundreds of
millions Of dollars.
We now have eighteen dreadnoughts,
counting the California and Maryland
just completed. The Colorado, Wash
ington, West Virginia and South Da-
kota are we'll advanced and should be
completed. This will provide battle
ship force of twenty-five powerful
dreadnoughts. This is enough.
The Indiana. Montana, North Caro-
lima, Iowa and Massachusetts, are from
s per cent to 20 per cent completed
Construction Of these ships as battle
ships should cease and plans should be
made to transform them into airplane
carriers, armored or otherwise, as may
be deemed best. These carriers could
remain with the battle feet to supply
it's protective and spotting planes
while the faster carriers are sent
ahead to attack the enemy

A Week of Verse
To Earth

From PoetrYj
Oh, FORTUNATE the waiting that
shall end in wonder,
And blessed now the patience that il
in thy bidiDg;
For now are the herded clouds and the
wild rains thunder
Over the roof of thy quiet seeds
hiding.
We, too, o earth, shall need tiny blessed
ness of waiting
For the green Towering Of pastures,
when the painting
Storm shall cease; though blood be the
rain that is abating,
And men be the seeds of our wild
planting.

anti-aircraft guns will net deter them
They will use poison gas and smoke
screens against the ships gunners and
will choose their own time to attack.
1t must be remembered that ship in
battle, with her magazines filled, her
boilers and engines, steering gear and
fire control in operation is far more
vulnerable and may be more easily
sunk or disabled than an armored hulk
at anchor. One bomb may wreck her
steering gear or fire control and make
her useless
Furthermore, the mine may be laid
as barrage ahead of a fleet. The
feet may be fenced in with mines, and
torpedo planes may attack from safe
distance ahead.
The writer has spent his life in con-
tact with and in training young officers
and men of the navy Knowing the
mettle and absolute fearlessness of
these young men, he believes that if
they are told to go and put 1000 or
1000 pound bomb, mine or torpedo on
board or under an enemy ship they will
| do it. And it is reasonable to suppose
that there are young men in foreign
navies who will do the same thing
They will choose their time and they
will do it. The fact is that sinking or
disabling men-of-war with bombs,
mines or torpedoes is easier than to
put them out of action with guns. The
S45,ooo,oOO big-gun ship is too expen-
slve and too vulnerable. 1t can be sunk
by an airplane carrier 100 miles away
eighty miles beyond sae reach of its
guns

simply will not give US the money to
complete ali the ships of the 1915 pro-
gram and in addition several hundred
millions for carriers. We must make
a choice. If we want carriers we must
surrender something that we do not
need.

or two carriers This is net enough.

only by Transforming capital ships
that we can get them. 1t is the only
alternative.

Submarines

In outlining an up-to- late program
for modern navy we must not for
get submarines. We must remember
that the submarine nearly won the
World War for the Germans against
the navies of the civilized world. 1t
is absurd to say that the submarine
was conquered. 1t was not. The
listening device has strengthened 1t.
New types have been developej-cruiser
submarines, feet submarines and nine
laying submarines. We must have
these types. Without them our navy
cannot fight winning war.
The WORKOUT ideas Of 1916 must give
way to the demonstrated naval truths

4 New Naval PROGRAM
By Quarterback

Naval conservatism gasped when the
Ostfriesland went down. And we'll it
might! Minds that had controlled our
naval policy and building program, re-
slstlng every modern conception, obsti-
nately clinging to five-year- old ideals,
were suddenly Jared into a partial
realization Of their folly. But extreme
conservatism always dies hard. Like
the doomed paralytic, it may survive
several strokes. Obstinacy often grows
face. The bomb of progress and com
mon sense must blow it to smithereens
before it will cease to harp upon its
one lone ancient chord!
A Ne,o Naval Era
The advent of the Monitor in the
Civil War wrought a change in naval
architecture, nothing more. 1t simply
introduced the turret into the battle
ship, where it still remains as the one
salient element of power in the dread
nought of to-day. But the sinking of
destroyer, cruiser and battleship
by bombs alone will exert an influence
upon warfare afoat aud ashore vastly
more far reaching in it's consequences
than the invention of the Monitor. 1t
will not only force q change in battle
ship design, but it introduces a new
and dominating force-a veritable navy
of the air.
4 Ne,0 Capital Ship
The airplane carrier has suddenly
forced itself upon the navy as a capital
ship. Its three principal weapons
the bombing plane, the mine-laying
plane and the torpedo which are
interchangeable, have range of one
hundred miles or more, while the guns
of dreadnought or battle-cruiser have
a maximum effective range of only fif-
teen miles, and even this cannot be at
tanned without the aid of airplanes to
note and report the fall of their shells!
Will conservatives now contend that
2,000-pound bomb or a twenty one
inch torpedo or a heavy mine will
not sink, or at least disable, a dread
nought or battle-cruiser They must
not forget that the British dread
nought Audacious was sunk by mine
or torpedo; that the Hampshire, with
Kitchener on board, was sunk by a
mine; that sixty-two of the 142 British
men-of war lost in the World War
were victims of the submarine that
our cruiser San Diego was sunk and
our battleship Minnesota was disabled
by mine.
Moreover, we must realize that the
airplane will soon carry a 4,000-pound
bomb, and the plane as we'll as the
submarine may easily carry a thirty
inch torpedo with a charge of 1900
pounds of INT. Will the battleships
and battle cruisers of the 1916 pro-
gram survive these charges OF high ex-
plosives? Remember the Ostfriesland

There are six battle-cruisers from 5
