ENGLAND DEPLORES
ANARCHY IN AMERICA

LONDON. May 19.-The state OF
affairs in the mining camps Of West
Virginia and the fights in New Jersey
between strikers and special police
provide the Daily News this morn
ing with the opportunity of saying;
Nobody who knows America need be
surprised. The social disease from
which America is suffering Is not in
dividualism, but anarchy. The goal
of the good citizen is the accumula-
ton of dollars, and in the achieve
ment of that purpose the State inter-
feres as little as possible.
"There is practically no such thing
as factory legislation, and there is a
huge supply of immigrant laborers
who have no organization and do not
know the language of the employers
and often enough not even that of
their fellow employees. There could
hardly be a more favorable milieu for
the talents of the industrial an
archist, and 1t is not surprising that
labor retaliates in a fierce fashion,
which happens to be lawless chiefly
because the employers control the
legislatures and the courts"

NEWARKERS COMPLAIN
ABOUT DELAY OF MAIL

Numerous complaints have been re-
ceived by the local postal authorities
about the delayed delivery in this
city of mail matter cancelled ut the
New York postoffice between and
o'clock in the evening.
1t is claimed in the complaints that
this mail is not delivered in this city
or deposited in the lock-boxes before
o'clock, which in a great many
cases makes a half-day's delay in the
receipt of the New York mall here.
The complaints have been received
from practically all the local banks,
several of the big manufacturers and
many of the large merchants. Iney
claimed that mail cancelled in New
York before O'Clock at night should
be delivered here at the local post
office by midnight, giving the local
clerks ample time to sort the mail
matter so that it could be placed In
the lock boxes before o'clock or go
out in the first carriers delivery.
The local authorities claim the de-
Law is not caused in the local office,
but is due to the system in vogue N
the New York office of classifying ell
New Jersey mail together and leaving
it for the railway mail clerks to SOFT
out by cities.
1t is said that a great deal of mail
matter addressed to Newark houses
is carried clear through to Philadel-
phia because the railway clerks DO
not have time to sort it all out be-
tween New York and this city. Tbs
delay is noticeable only in the letters
cancelled In the evening in New York,
according TO most of the complaints
received.

Low-heel Wilson
Maggie, Stylish

WASHINGTON. d. c., May
1s.-The Wilson waggle has
come to town. It's a new walk,
not a new dance, and is the re-
suit of firing hours of practise
to acquire a graceful as we'll as
straight carriage. The general
effect outside of the straight
back is one of muscular relaxa-
ton.
This effect is not easy to get
and the debutantes and society
bellies are giving their morn
ing hours to its requirement.
Even, quick steps go with 1t
and it cannot be accomplished
with high heels, therefore the
low fiat heels are coming rapid
ly into style.
Among the devotees of the
new walk are Miss Margaret
Perrin, composer of the soul
gown; Mrs. Charles Mum, Miss
Mary McCauley, Miss Julia
Meyer. who is said in private
to spell her name Julya after
her sisters fashion of changing
Alice to Alys. and the Countess
Gizycka, who goes to the ex-
treme of wearing tennis shoes
with afternoon costumes.
To sum up the walk, 1t might
be described as graceful creep
ing.

time he attended chain of con-
ventions and delivered a series of
lectures.
1T regard the Chinese post" he
said, "as the most important in the
diplomatic service. The man sent
there will have wonderful oppor-
tunities If he is of the right sort to
do a big work for the commercial
benefit of his country and the cause
of civilization. I appreciate the honor
that President Wilson conferred
when he asked me to take the post
I declined because OF other work that
I had undertaken and which I could
not turn over to anybody else. He
asked me to reconsider my decision,
and 1t was with deep regret that l
had to remain firm in my refusal"
Doctor Mott learned upon his ar
rival here that the United States
had recognized the republic Of China
and that this was the first of the big
powers to do so.
1.-THE best thing that America ever
did" Is the way he expressed his
opinion of the step. 1.-THE big his
tory of the world is going to be
made from now on in the far east,
and China's friendship will yet prove
of even greater value to America
than Americas recognition will be

ASSA|LS
ARMOR PLATE MEN
War Scares Due TO Firms Who
Make BattIeships and Pro-
tective Adjuncts.

WASHINGTON, D. c., May a.
Secretary Bryan created sensation
here yesterday afternoon at meet
ing of the washington Peace Society,
held to celebrate the fourteenth an
niversary of The Hague peace
tribunal. by attacking the armor
plate and battleship building con-
Germs.
He said that they were responsible
for many war scares. just for the sake
of increasing their dividends. He re-
ferred to the recent charge by MEM
Der of the German Reichstag that the
Krupp works bought space in Ger
man and French papers, and limited
that similar conditions exist in this
country.
war is never the outcome Of logic,
but always the result of sentiment,
said Secretary Bryan.
The secretary's address was re-
ceived with wild demonstrations, and
at the request of Representative
Rartholdt a rising vote of thanks was
given the secretary. After the meet
ing the crowd surged into the street
before Bryan had a chance to leave
and he was forced to shake hands for
fully thirty minutes. Bryan said;
1--WE understand as we grow in In
telligence what subsidized patriotism
means; what it means for people TO
hide behind the plea Of patriotism as
they attempt to advance their own
pecuniary interests. The world Is
learning that back of much OF the
furore for war, back of much of the
stirring of the passions of the people
is the interests in armor plate and IN
battleships on the part of corpora
lions whose business 1t Is to build
these battleships and to make this
armor plate. 1t has even been found
that men in one country Will spend
money to stir up in another country
a feeling against their own country.
If you can think of a baser use OF
money than that you will have an
inventive genius Of which you may
be proud.
rs there any baser use Of money
than that of money used to stir up
feeling against ones own country in
order to coin that feeling into larger
dividends and more business?
mot only that, but / believe that
with a larger intelligence the people
will begin to discriminate between
patriotic newspapers and newspapers
which are more interested in big
headlines and sensational news than
in the spread of truth"

SEND TROOPS TO
HAWAIIAN ISLANDS
Two Hundred Recruits Leave
Jersey City on Way to
Honolulu.

=
JERSEY CITY. N. J.. May 1.-Two
hundred and thirty-six soldiers and
eight non-commissioned officers, under
command of Captain j. L. Roberts,
left this city via the Pennsylvania
Railroad at o'clock yesterday
for trip of 7,1s0 miles to Honolulu.
So secret was the departure planned
that not more than a couple of dozen
friends or relatives of individual
soldiers were in the big train shed
when the train, consisting of six Pull
man sleepers, one dining car and one
baggage car, pulled out of the station.
The soldiers, clad in regulation
khaki uniforms, arrived in Jersey
City on one of the regular transports
from Fort Slocum and landed at the
Adams Express Company's pier. They
carried only bags, clothes and haver-
sacks. The arms carried were the
revolvers OF the officers.
Report had it that the men were
coast artillerymen. but one of the Of
ficers said they were previously. en-
listed recruits who have served -
infantrymen in the regular army and
have reenlisted; that they were not
yet organized and would not get their
regular orders for four days.. Tic
train was provisioned for the entire
San Francisco trip by train. The train
is scheduled to reach San Francisco
on Friday next. 1t is a special train.
The soldiers were in good trim.
The order for the removal of the
troops was made several days ago.
but nothing about it was permitted
to leak out. The activity of Penn
sylvania Railroad officials in making
ready the cars caused the secret of
the department to leak out.
From San Francisco the soldiers
will embark for Honolulu on a regu-
lar army transport.
