The paper warns a silent candidate risks undermining American sovereignty and constitutional principles.

The letter from Mr. Balfour to Lowestoft and Yarmouth mayors is read in Germany as an attempt to calm the coast and ease unrest among Britons. After early naval bombardments, the Admiralty resisted policy shifts, insisting coastal defenses, including submarines and monitors, now guard the coast. Citizens from Scarborough to Hartlepool question fleet placement as German raids aim to provoke panic and force new dispositions, with officials signaling nationwide coastal reform.
A charity bazaar opens next Saturday at Grand Central Palace offering a range of experiences from tea to dance to paintings and world-wide trips. The French government exhibit features sixty nine guns from Verdun and the event aims to channel all proceeds to Allied relief with no visitor pressure.

The cloak and suit manufacturers abandoned their arbitration pledge and reintroduced violence in a lockout, starving former employees. Evictions rise and workers’ families suffer as a citizen relief drive seeks funds. The public sees a fight between employers and workers, worsened by scab labor and union tensions, harming a major national industry.
A fragmentary verse piece speaks in a stormy voice of England, carrying memories of dead voices and deserts, promising both glory and dread as black winds and white plumes rise in a grim wartime vision.
A 1916 letter to the editor argues Roosevelt remains the clear Republican choice and warns against Chicago style backroom tricks. The writer urges an acclamatory nomination to unite the party and renew Americanism, citing the need for a strong, available leader. Additional correspondence from Earl Simonson and Peecy K. Perris voices similar support for Roosevelt and calls for coordinated plans ahead of Chicago.
A Tribune reader endorses Theodore Roosevelt for U.S. president in 1916. The writer, recalling American patriotism from Washington to Taft, condemns Wilson and his “pence-at-any-price” policy, urging a return to straight American statesmanship led by Roosevelt. The letter is dated May 30, 1916, from Erwin Lincoln Hockridge in Ithaca, N.Y.
A reader urges that Theodore Roosevelt, uniquely clear in his convictions, be chosen leader amid world crisis in 1914.

Robert Donald of London writes from May 18 1916 that The Tribune’s essay The British Failure misreads democracy and England’s war effort.

He cites France and England’s roles, laments German autocracy, and urges prudent, fact based critique.
A reader asks if middle aged workers would accept low pay for available jobs and if unemployment benefits or light domestic work could sustain them. The letter laments high living costs and questions suitability for positions like dressmaking and stenography. Stamford Conn May 24 1916.
