Calls "Nietzsche" TO Time.

To the Editor. The Washington Herald:
'Nietzsche." in his letter offers
little that is new concerning the
existence or nonexistence Of a god.
1t would appear that the considera-
ton Of this subject by his friends
was less a discussion than an &C.
casion for the busting of Of cut
and-dried PHILOSOPHERS, none Of
which are convincing.
Although an aEnostic, "A" never

support OF the church Ccreed not

safe side" Apparently a" while
doubling the existence of a god and
heaven, believes that il will be
possible for him to enter into such
heaven, should there happen to be
one in spite Of all proof to the con-
trary. in the same way he enters
the ball park-by way of the box
office. He is. therefore. not only
shaky in his agnosticism. which,
suspect is a mere pose. but also in
his understanding OF the funda-
mentals OF Christianity. requiring,

Answer to E. H. Nye.

To the Editor. The Washington Herald:
Mr.. Nye's idea Of a constructive bo-
nus is the most preposterous propo-
s!tion l have ever heard advanced
What good would a national high
way be to 100 per cent of the for
mer service men? And a job on such
a project would only help a few
former service men that have strong
backs and weak minds and would
care to crush stone or operate a
wheelharrow to build the highway

benefits of such a highway for they
are the only ones who have fine cars

Police in Rock Creek Park.
To the Editor. The Washington Herald:

To the Editor. The Washington Herald:
The policemen with short pants
on who hang around Rock Creek
Park every night should be about
better business. Isn't there more
substantial work for these fellows
than sneak'ng around to see if they
can catch some fellow and girl
spooning in an automobile. 1t looks
to me like tyranny of the finest old
Prussian type and not at all like
the conduct of American citizens.
Ny advice to these fellows is to
go out and get a job as prohibition
enforcement agents. bootleggers.
second story workers or clerks in
the War Department. Any one of
these would be better callings than
the one they chose to follow. How
any real. red FLOODED man can en-
gage himself out as sneak is
more than l can see. This is not
"a sorehead writing this letter,
either.
Some day one of these guys is
going to get his. ] am not saying
this as a threat but merely as
warning. No man can interfere
with the liberties of free-born
Americans very long and expect to
get away with 1t and IL is about
time that these policemen realized
something like that.
They take all the pleasure out of
a moonlight ride through the park.
You can imagine now that every
bush has eyes and every tree ears.
Some boy scout is hiding In the
foliage waiting to catch somebody
and then come out and bawl him
out.
The police department should
know better than have these fell
lows sneaking around.

Suggestion for Traffic.

To the Editor. The Washington Herald:
Bully for John Doe. Washington
seems not to have kept up with the
Increase in autos and it seems to
me that Washington is big enough
to have a traffic cop at every inter-
section Of F and G streets between
Ninth and Fifteenth streets. That Is
where the busiest crossings are. and
since reading Does letter in the Sun
day Herald an idea has come TO my
mind that would solve a great prob
lem and make shopping for shoppers
safe and pleasant duty. II there
are not enough policemen for all
corners why not prohibit traffic north
and south on streets crossing F and
G. between Ninth and Fifteenth
streets Compel drivers on F and G
10 go only east and west until they
reach Ninth street or Fifteenth streets
thus making the shopping district a
loop of safety to shoppers between
Ninth and Fifteenth streets. New
York avenue and Pennsylvania ave-
nue.. This scheme would avoid pedes-
TRANS on F and G watching out for
autos going north and south between
Ninth GrS Fifteenth streets.

Feeding Armies.

To the Editor. The Washington Herald:
With the general tenor of the
editorial Armies to Feed" few
will disagree. However, there is a
trace of the old fallacy that mill
tary training is an Industrial loss,
waste or handicap. For instance,
80 take young men
out Of barracks and put them to

have TO be fed and clothed there,
would they not?
when the allies demanded that

her a favor" Perhaps IL is good
diplomacy to try TO make her think
so. But is il not true that her
greatest industrial development and
prosperity went along parallel with
military training?

The Soldier Bonus.

To the Editor. The Washington Herald:
good deal has been said. pro anc
con, about the soldier bonus, but II
seems to me that all opponents of
this measure miss the point.
1t is not a question of loading
the country up with debt or any
thing of the kind. 1t is not ques-
ton Of giving men a gratuity. 1t is
question of paying a debt which
the government contracted. True,
the government avoided signing any
contract to pay this debt. The SOL
diers did not demand II because
they considered their country too
honorable to sneak out of its OBJ
legations like a war profiteer.
Yet this is just what the Cham
Der OF Commerce of the United
States urges the government to do
to go back on its own pledged
word.
