A Visitor on New Yorker.

To the Editor OF The Tribune.
siri Your editorial "Ths Average
New Yorker" It seems TO me. fails TO
grasp the point sought to be made b.
Mr. Banton. The New Yorker. whether
from waiia walla or Houston, Miami
or Bar Harbor, helps 70 make New York
truly a great national city, but these
same men from the East. West, North
and South soon become possessed Of
the same New York spirit. They look

Senator Borah and the Facts


What arc these "uneoascionable
iinperialistic policies Of Europe
against which Senator Borah 50 per-
sistently declaims? What is this
"militarism" which he would have
us believe is rampant throughout
Europe?
II by "imperialistic policies he
means designs for territorial ar
grandizement, Germany. Hungary
aud Russia arc the only states Of
Europe which could be classed as
inperialistie. II by "mili,arism" he
means the cultivation Of a wsrlike
spirit, Germany and Hungary alone
are militaristic. Only in these two
lands are there powerful elements
plotting wars Of revenge and con-
quest.
Probably he is thinking Of mill
tsry expenditures more than any
thing else. As 10 these the facts
are easily available and are uncon-
tradicted. Mr. Borah is one Of the
most intelligent Of Senators. Why
does he ignore the facts in favor Of
vague phrases about a war-mad
Europe?
The League Of Nations has pub
lished the essential figures as 20
military expenditure. Quite justly,
il has given the total Tor national
defense, army and navy Obviously,
q judgment based upon the expendi-
ture for either army or navy alone
would be unfair. Any scheme Of
national defense is determined by
he geographical situation Of the
country. Just as the United States
depends chiefly upon its navy, so the
nations Of Europe rely chiefly upon
their armies.
According 10 these latest statistics
Of the League Of Nations, France
and Great Britain are deyoting
1871 per cent and 15.1 per cent Of
their appropriations to national de-
fense Excluding the cost Of the
armies Of oecupation), Italy 13.l
per cent and Belgium GO per
cent. OF the Eastern European states
Rumania is spending 27.T per cent,
CEecho-Slovakis l6 per cent and
Finland id1' per cent. The nations
that were neutral during the war
Show the following figures; Den
mark, 15.4 per cent; Holland, 1910
per cent; Sweden. 11.5 per cent, and
Norway, Sc per cent.
The United States, with about II
per cent Of its expenditures devoted
70 national defense, is, therefore,
higher than any nation Of Europe
ospt Rumanis. And every Amer
can knows that tho American army
and navy have been cut 70 a mini
mum Of man power and equipment.
Thus. whether considered speciG-
cAlly or generally, the talk about
the "militarism Of Europe"
always leaves out Germany, Hun
gary and Russia as necessarily
''pseihst"-is so much nonsense.
Considering the unrest prevalent in
Europe and the fact that every na-
ton has enemies at It's gates. the
\ military charges Of the European
nations are unqucstionably moderate.
y The next time Senator Dorah
speaks VIC suggest that he take as
his text the fact that the United
States is spending for defense from
two-hfths 20 three-ffths more than
"miiitaristic," "impcrialistie," war
mad France.

More Truth Than Poetry
By James J. Montague
Departed Glory

"Thus fought the Greeks of old.
Thus shall they fight again.
Shall not the selfsame mold
Bring forth the selfEame men,"
This song the poet trolled,
Believing II no doubt,
But that heroic mold
Is pretty well played out.
For lately, when the Turk.
Gets sick OF dreary peace
And Graves some liyelier work,
He starts a war with Greece.
Whereon the Greeks declare,
. Politely, Whats the use?"
And calmly hoist In air
Their pallid flag Of truce.
The poets used 10 think
The bold and battling Greek
Was due to take a drink
OF glory once a week.
They faneied the array
That strutted o'er the stage
In Alexander's day
Would fight through every age.

GLAND THIEVES
OPERATE ON TWO
MEN AND ESCAPE:
New Kind of Banditry
Turns Up in Windy
City
CBy Associated Press)


Chicago, H., Oct. 14.-A gang of
gland thieves last night attacked two
men and robbed each of a gland, ac-
cording to reports to Chicago police
today.
Captain Thomas Coughlin, head
of the police squad investigating the
strange crimes, advanced the theory
that the gland snatchers were oper-
ating under orders of wealthy,
aged Chicagoan seeking rejuvena-
ton.
There was a startling similarity
in the manner which the two men
were robbed.
Both were strong, healthy men.
Joseph Wozniak, the first victim
reported, met several congenial COM
panions in a saloon and later was
kidnapped and drugged, When he
came to consciousness, the operation
had been performed.
Sevreal hours after the Wozniak
case, woman called police head
quarters and said her husband had
been a victim of the glad robber,
while intoxicated. Police rushed to
the home to make a thorough inves-
tigation.
TIL eWozniak operation was per-
formed by someone who was familiar
with the technique of a physician.
Wozniak was beset in the clinical
district of the city, leading DIR. Wal
ter Sullivan, of Mercy hospital, to
advance the theory that some in
terne employed in a clinic had been
induced by a wealthy man to follow
his desires.
At the same time, DR.. H. M. Nc
Kechnie, president of the Chicago
Medical society, announced that his
organization would do everything in
its power to aid the police.
According to the story Wozniak
told DR.. A. Sampolinski, who re-
ported the case othe police, he was
walking along a street when an au-
tomobile drew up, four men leaped
out, threw a bag over his head and
dragged him into the machine.
He was chloroformed, he said, and
when he regained consciousness he
found himself on a sidewalk under a
viaduct. The operation had been
performed-with, expert skill.
1t was believed by the police that
some wealthy, and perhaps aged
man has benefitde by the criminal
action.
Wozniak is 81 years old, married
II years, but has no children.

Clearwater, Fla, Oct. 14.-Coun-

miss the charge occupied the great

Supposed to Await a
Court Decision
IRx Associnted Pressl

Washington, Oct. 14.-Foreign
shipping today was given another
week of exemption from application
of Attorney General Daugherty's

Prohibition Commissioner Haynes
after conference with President
Harding announced that regulations
based upon the Attorney Generals
ruling that liquor cannot legally be
brought within American territorial
waters would not be applied to for

authorities of the government max
ing the application to all froeign

ter today.
The extension first was interpret
ed to apply also to American pri-
vately-owned vessels, but inquiry at

Premier Says None More
Willing for Him to
Retire Than He
NEVER BEEN A TRAITOR
Devotes Most of His Ora
ito nto Defense of Near
East Policy

Manchester, England, Oct. IA
Premier Lloyd-George dealt with the
crisis which Near Eastern events
have forced upon the government in
a characteristic and powerful speech
in the city of his birth this after
noon. While he spoke as liberal to
liberal and chose a city remote from
the capital for staging his grafton,
according to the long custom of
British statesmen, he was not speak
ing primarily to Manchester, but to
Great Britain and the empire.
The prime minister's speech was
evidently more carefully prepared
than is usual with him. 1t was prin-
cipally defense of the governments
policy. -
What the country awaited most
curiously was the information about
the future, but the prime minister
left himself free to pursue an open
course. He declared that no one
could welcome his retirement more
than himself, but followed this with
a great dramatic passage:
81 cast myself upon the people,
because l have never betrayed them"
Crowd Gives Him Ovation.
The hall rung with approving
shouts and he added that he would
support Loyalty any alternative gov
eminent that would work for the best
interest of the nation.
The impression made upon most of
the audience was tha tthe premier
does not propose to have an early
general election, part Of the press
charging that an election before the
conservative party convention in No
vembert would be political trick.

more than $4,000 flood refugees.
The greatest toll of life was TAX
en- by hurricane and tornado, while
the overflowing of rivers, the break
ing of dams and torrential rain
storms drove the greatest number of
people from their homes. Fire also
played an important part in the
chain of disasters which made insis-
