poor grace oppose New Jerseys enjoyment ol
the same privilege. The community when SEEKS
to preserve waters from pollution should ltSeii
refrain from polluting them.

THE PAgsArc POLLUTION PRoBLEu

THE P4gSATc POLLUTION PROBLEu
The reports Of Messrs. Iandreth and Tribus
TO the Assistant Attorney General of the United
States on the plans for the proposed Passaic
Valley trunk sewer are. as WIS 10 be expected,
decidedly rnfavorahle 10 the scheme. or at least
10 that part Of il which provides for the pour
ing of the sewage into New York Bay, and
which is the only part of il subject 10 other con-
sideration than that of the State of New Jersey.
Those gentlemen were understood in advance
10 be hostile to such disposition Of rhe New
Jersey sewage, and their services were doubtless
sought not as impartial but partisan experts.
That fact does not however. i'm the least dis
credit their findings intelligent and authOri-
tative presentations Of that side of the case
q side. we may add which has much TO COM
mend IL to the sense of decency and taste If not
also TO that of economy and thrift.
The one important point which is made in
these reports is that the plans do not seem TO
provide for sufficient degree of publication of
tie sewage before Is is poured into the harbor
or do rot give sufficient assurance that It viii
be thus purified. The plans provide for screening
end se1imentation. but those processes would
probably do no more than 10 remove the coarse
solids, and il is not certain that they would do
that efficiently. There seems TO be no hint of
reatment by chemical precipitation, such as we
reminded our readers the other day is applied
10 the sewage of London. although such treat
ment is necessary for the thorough removal Of
the sludge which IS one of the most Objectionable
constituents OF the sewage for pouring upon
the floor of the harbor Neither is there
hint of effective oxidization or of bacterial cult
ure. such would largely decrease the mOrbiic
qualities of the sewage. To these omissions in
the New Jersey plans objection is properly TO
be made, as Messrs. I.andreth and Tribus have
made T.
We have all along maintained that the need or
sewerage relief for the Passaic Valley is urgent
and that IL Is best 10 be obtained by the con-
strucsion Of common trunk sewer into which
ail the cities may pour their sewage. 1t seems to
IE, moreover. that New Jersey has an inalien
able natural right 10 drainage into the great
tidal waters which lie between her and New
York at least equally with New York. As a
matter Of fact, that right~is now exercised and
always has been, for the drainage Of the Pas
sale Valley is now directly into those waters,

CUBA's SHIPS AND OURS.

The announcement that a new steamship line
is 10 he established between the United States
and Cuba is welcome as indication OF in
ereasing commerce and travel between the two
countries and as pledge of their continued close
relationship. The further announcement that
the ships will be under the Cuban flag should
not excite surprise though it may be received
with the proverbial mingled emotions. Cuba is,
Of course TO be congratulated upon this addi-
tion to her mercantile marine and upon the en-
terprise and sound policy which have made 1t
possible. while there may also be discerned In
the same circumstances cause for reproach TO
the United States.
There was a time when great line of Ameri-
can steamships. built In America and carrying
the American flag. contested with British ships
the primacy in transatlantic traffic and. in the
general opinion, triumphant in the competi-
ton. But that was long ago This year marks
the fiftieth anniversary of the abandonment of
the famous Collins line and the sale of its ships
to the Panama Railroad Steamship Line. And
It is a bitter reflection that with all our his
torical and existing and prospective interests at
Panama the vast bulk of isthmian traffic Is now
conducted under alien flags.
We have said that it is not surprising that
this new line is to be under the Cuban flag 1t
would have been surprising and startling TO
have It announced that It would be under the
American flag. We have long been accustomed
to seeing our South American neighbors do
things which the United States apparently is not
able to do. Uruguay is presumably better able
TO establish a steamship line TO New York under
her own flag than we are to send vessels under
our flag to the River Plate. Perhaps. however,
we shall some day be willing to learn lesson
from our successful neighbors, and indeed from
our own history, and then we shall be able to
restore the American mercantile marine on the
high seas by the same methods which other
nations have found effective and essential

It would be rash to say that 1T VIII put IL
above future competition. For while we 90
not think that it is probable, we must recog-
nize that it is by no means impossible that other
nations will correspondingly increase their naval
programmes Germany is growing in popula-
ton commerce and wealth far more rapidly
than the United Kingdom. In three years, ac-
cording to Mr. McKenna. she has laid down
eleven big battleships to Great Brita1ns elght
Because of that fact Great Britain now layS
down four more than she had intended TINS
year Now the question is whether Germany
in LAYING down eleven to Great Brita1ns elgnt
was deliberately seeking to Surpass the latter
power or was merely building with regard to
her own commercial needs and without regard
TO anv other power If the latter she may not
be influenced by the British big navy pro-
gramme: but If the former, why. as we have
hitherto suggested, she is just as able TO add
four or even more to her list as Great Britain
is and has Just as good a right to do so. 1t Is
sincerely to be hoped that she will not do so,
for that would doubtless be a signal for an
other big navy campaign in Great Britain, and
SO on along the road to ruin. Mr.. Asquith said
on Monday that the door was still open for an
agreement between Great Britain and other
countries for limitation of naval arma ments or
expenditures. We should hesitate to suggest
another door through which 1t is more desirable

Mr.. Robinson put up against the building code
Mr. Robinson. In reply. said that Mayor Mcclellan
deserved much credit for vetoing the code He
further said that the outcome of the fight showed

FOR LARGER OPERA BOXES
HammerStein Plans to Remodel In

Plans for remodeng the interior OF the Manhat-

yesterday by oscar Hammerstein- Mr.. Hammer
stein wanted the changes that he is going 10 make
come a surprise TO his subscribers when the
opens. and for that reason did not announce
them. Seventeen OF the fortyone proscenium boxes
TO be removed. leaving twenty-four. twelve on
each side.
These changes will greatly improve the appear
ance Of the interior OF the house, said Mr.. Ham
merstein last night. Under the original plans we
had many proscenium boxes that they had to
be small and those sitting in them were somewhat
crowded. With the new arrangements each box
will be larger and more comfortable Other changes
of less important nature will be made which will
add TO the beauty of the house. The interior is TO
be entirely redecorated. The work will be rushed
and will be completed in time for the opening OF
the season.

PERSECVTTNG THE BOWERY

The Citizens Union is going to take steps to
force the razing of the condemned Bowery
lodging houses on the site of the new Man
haitian Bridge Plaza, which the Sullivans and
Controller Metz are so anxious to have spared
These houses have sheltered scores of real ana
imaginary voters in the past, and their demoh-
ton would greatly reduce the list of available
Jeffersonians in one of the most crowded cleo
ton districts of the Sd Assembly District
The Citizens Union IS showing pernicious
activity" and Offensive partisanship" so the
Sullivans think. The electoral liberties of the
peripatetlc needy who revisit the Bowery each
fall and help US discharge our civic duty have
been abridged enough by oppressive regtstra-
ton and Identification laws. Are the BOwery 5
facilities for political hospitality now To be
inopportunely reduced by the destruction OF
some of its most famous and commOdious re-
cruiting stations for candidates for temporary
and multiple citizenship?

Rinht Use Of Mirror.

The women who are perpetually
running after new hats and new frccks
dissatisfied with what they have got,
and draining their purses, do not make
right use of their mirrors.
She who has sufficiently studied her
complexion, her features, her hair,
etc, wont make q mistake in the buy
ing OF a new hat; she'll spot her quar-
ry in the "twinkling OF an eye" and
having got just the right thing, she
won't he In q desperate hurry to
change 1t for something new. There
isn't any doubt about It that sacred
little moments with Miss Mirror are
an emmense aid to economy. II one
only had more time one would save
many dollars, not to mention time
and temper, for this is the sort of
thing which happens. Every hat one
possesses seems suddenly to have gone
ong-nothing will sit right on ones
head---and Off we go to scour the
milliners for something more satisfy
ing.
Well, we get the satisfying thing,
and go home quite happy and smooth
tempered, yet perhc ps very soon after
take up one OF tl.ese rejected mis-
creants, and, perhaps with compass
sion, pop it on to see how 1t looks,

that there was something wrong with
