No Nayal Militia Cruises

The Naval Militia in the various States
with the exception Of that of Massachu-
sets. will be left almost wholly to their
own devices this summer, for the Navy
Department has made no preparations
to give the different State organizations
their usual cruises, and, except as above
noted, has been obliged to refuse the re-
quests from the commanding officers for
accommodation on the ships of the North
Atlantic fleet. The Massachusetts Naval
Militia applied to be taken on cruise
some months ago, long before any other
state force did. and, as the fleet is to rem
devious off the Massachusetts coast, the
request of that State was granted.
The failure to provide for the expected
cruises is not due to lack of interest in

The Hon. ROBERT s, MCCORMICK, our
Ambassador to Russia, should observe the
Hon. JOSEPH H. CHoATE's method Of re-
entering the United States. Mr.. CHoATE
turned interviewer instead Of interviewed.
and bombarded the reporters with questions
about affairs in America. Mr.. MCCORMICK,
on the other hand, announced his belief
that Russia will never get out of Manchuria,
which, being deliberate opinion that Rus
sian assurances to the contrary are worth
less, calls for the attention OF the American
State Department, regardless Of any repre-
sentaton by Count CAssINI.

FEARS TROUBLE ~ CHINA.
Admiral Evans Requests the Department
Not to withdraw Marines From Manila.

WASHINGTON. June 3,-Rear Admiral
Evans, commander-in.ch chief OF the Asiatic
naval station who has indicated in his
official reports that a general political dis
turbance in China, with possible interna-
tional complications, is imminent. has re-
quested the Navy Department not to with
draw the marines in the Philippines until
the marines sent from the United States
to relieve them have reached Manila. All
the marines in the Philippines, with the
exception Of small number at Cavits.
American training station on Subig Bay
To take these away until their places have
been taken by fresh levies from the United
States is regarded by the Admiral as un
wise. His caution Is said to be due to the
fear that plenty OF American troops will
soon be needed in China. There are 500
marines at Olongapo. Some. Of them
were to, start for home in April and the
beyond seas" tour of the rest has expired
A battalion Of equal numbers will he sent
to the Philippines as soon as possible.

to the end that the walls Of this $4,000, 0oo
building may be adorned with works OF
art in painting, stained glass and mo-
sales. The Fine Arts Federation has in
dorsed the society's suggestions, and
these, through the Art Commission. at
last reached the Mayors committee.
The Art Commission, too, recommended
that the sac, 900 asked for be appropri-
ated, this sum to include $4,000 for
several pieces Of statuary for the interior
Of the building.
But the Board OF Estimate, apparently
with the committees acquiescence, only
lately voted 1921, 900 to cover much OF the
walls with marble instead-that they may
resemble the comfort stations OF modern
railroad terminals, no doubt. A bid OF
5000, 900 was rejected 80 that the con-
tractor already working on the building
might have this additional contract at
1927, 900.
The only reason that the sculpture-by-
the-dozen principle has not already been
applied regarding the decoration OF such
of the walls as will not be marbled, Is that
no further decoration was provided for
in the plans which MORGAN d SLATTERY
are executing. The Board OF Estimate,
through its committee Of which the
Mayor is chairman, has power to alter
the plans and to order decorations as it
may wish. There is opportunity, there
fore, for Mayor Low to do something yet
to give to the city worthy works OF art
in this new building.

OBJECTS TO WAYNE MACvEAGH.
France May Appear Before Tho Hague
Tribunal With Special Counsel.

WASHINGTON, June 3.-After much oon-
sideration the French Government has do
cided to become party to the opposition
before The Hague tribunal to the con
tention Of Great Britain, Germany and Italy
that they are entitled to have their claims
against Venezuela paid before any Of the
other claimant nations are compensated
The adherence Of France is pro visional,
however, exceptions being noted to the
clause OF the arbitration treaty pro viding
that the proceedings before the tribunal
shall be conducted in English, and to the
selection of Wayne MacVeagh as agent
and counsel for the peace Powers.
It Ia believed that France will appear
before the tribunal in opposition to the
contention Of the blockading Powers. but
will be represented by special counsel.
Under the terms Of the agreement argu-
ment may be made in any language.

The Walking Delegate.

The more delusion is squeezed out of
the conflict between capital and labor,
the more clearly the force and value of
each element in it are understood, the
quicker will each side learn of the strength
possessed by the other for the enforce
ment of its purposes and the sooner will
way be found for working agreement.
general misunderstanding of the walking
delegate.
That trade official has to large extent
succeeded the Old political boss az the
butt of outside condemnation, in print
and in picture. He is popularity repre-
sented as an unprincipled usurper Of
other mems authority, and occasionally
as a us,lrper for revenue only He is the
despot of the labor unions, holding their
destiny in his hands and, swelling with
his power, ready at any time to sacrifice
his slaves to the qualification of his own
ambition or malice. At almost every
strike we hear of the tyranny of the
walking delegate, and he is taken for a
scapegoat.
Labor unions are not so supplemented
az this conception of their leaders would
make them out to be. They are organ
lied with considerable care and no little
elaboration, and the walking delegate is
as distinctly Of their own creation and
moulding as is their constitution or their
president.
The walking delegate is the union.
Misrepresentation of him, for better, for
worse, is simply an obstacle to true
estimate of the unions character, policy
and mower

If it is true, as reported that AUTOMOBILE
lists are now running their machines to the
full limit Of their power in some parts OF
Long Island in the absence OF the eight
miles-an-hour signs provided for by the
Bailey law. the fact is to be deplored in the
interests of the motor-car men themselves.
Unregulated speed on the public roads at
such time is evidence that harsh measures
are necessary for regulation. Automo-
bilists with a proper regard for the safety
of road traffic in general will not allow their
