Best Way to Help the Unemployed

TINE way to relieve unemployment, as Hor-
L ace Greely said of the resumption of
specie payments, is to relieve it. The EVEN
ING LEDGER Is printing daily about three
columns of advertisements of men, women,
boys and girls in need of work whose merit
and desert have been investigated by the
Emergency Aid Committee, the Society for
Organizing Charity or the Juvenile Workers
Bureau. About all trades are represented,
but many of the skilled workers offer them
selves to do any kind of labor in order to
provide food for those dependent on them.
In a large number of cases there is illness
in the family. and there are many old women
needing sewing or knitting or similar work
in order to enable them to maintain them
selves.
If any one can read the advertisements
without wishing that he could employ every
applicant he is lacking in bowels of COM
passion. While It is impossible for any busi-
ness man or for any family to find work for
all, there Is scarcely family in comfortable
circumstances that could not find work for
some of those willing to do sewing, cabinet
work, upholstering or any kind of work
about the house and grounds. And there is
scarcely a factory or machine shop which
could not make place for one or two men
in an emergency such as this, so that the
daily wage might lift the families of the
unfortunate from the slough of despond.
1t is easy to give money 10 the Emergency
Aid Committee 10 relieve those who could
not work IL the opportunity offered but 1t is
much wiser philanthropy to give work to
those willing to do It, even though period
of unemployment and short rations, with the
accompanying encouragement. may have
iessened the efficiency of the workers.

RUMANIA'S WORD
ABOUT THE WAR
Not Taking Sides at Present and Not
Worrying About the Food Supply.
In the Spring She May Join the
Allies.
Ru VANCE THOMPSON

T WAS dining alone in a restaurant At the
right-hand table to mine was tall man
with thick black hair and very white teeth.
He smiled at me as confidentially as though
we were intimate friends-as though we had
been witnesses i'm the same divorce suit or
played billiards in the same club.
Then | remembered The last time ! saw
him was in 1919; he was playing baccarat
in the new Casino at Constanza, We had
had food and drink and words together; and
later we journeyed together-crammed in
third-class carriage--to Bucharest. AS the
mobilization was on there was only one train
a. day, and we had ample time to get to know
each other before our journey was done.
So got up and took my coffee to his table
this was last highland once more we had
words together.
What brings you here?' l asked.
Not the music" he said; a Hungarian
orchestra was playing while the diners dined.
He had left Rumania a few days before
Christmas and had come by way of Greece
and Italy He had not seen any fighting
key into the war had stirred up a great deal
of the anti German feeling. After all for
all the Balkan States Turkey is the enemy"
"I thought the Bulgarians were your enc
mics" | said; cts less than two years ago
that | your army along the Danube and
the Bulgarian was the enemy that day"
That was an army, eh?" he said proudly.

And indeed it was; only 13 contngents
were called to the colors--that is, the army
was made up of men from 20 to 33 years of
age; and of these 10000 were sent home
The army that went forward was composed
of 100000 men. In other words, in 10 days

this army crossed the Danube, at two places,

structed in seven hours. When you bear in
mind that the Danube is, at these points,
about 1900 yards across, the feat does not
seem trivial.

Turkey first and always. then Austria,
then Germany" he answered.
And loyalty to your Hohenzollern King?"
we are all loyal We recognize all our
Kings have done for Rumania. But this is
not a dynastic question. And we like to
think that our new King, Ferdinand, is less
n German than Rumanian. He is not likely
to risk his throne-and that of Prince Carol,
who is true Rumanian born and bred-for
the sake OF helping the house of Hohenzol-
lern."
But at present you are neutral" I said;
you extend the cold, moist hand of neu-
trality."

will make 5000 inhabitants. Now the mill
tary contingent is 260 men-you see 1t does
not cripple the work, which Is largely done

Rumanla looks forward, without dread, to
taking her share in this war of freedom she
less than any other nation has to fear an
economic crisis. Wheat will grow and the
machines will reap it. Moreover, our peas
ants are a sober folk. They drink water, and
the chief staple Of food is Indian meal
beans, too furnish a kind of meal. We have
large quantities of grain for eXport-to our
friends, that is. Our crops are usually in

in March. Then we will cross the Carpa-

of Pennsylvania, who have long been under
the hard rule of Austro- Hungary When
this war is over" he added pleasantly, ''lib-
erty Will be passed round the balkans on

These things the man from Rumania said
as we smoked our pale cigars in the res
taurant. Moreover, he had ideas about the
war. One of them had to do with Austria.
1t was this: He said that Austria was prey

"There is no secret about 1t. I've come

with which We yex one another
Give us rest

And mngle again the kindred OF the nations

And with some Amer essence of forbearanee and

Temper our mind,
For there shall be ; new heaven ana new

And men shall not remember the former ones,
Nor shall they so much come TO mind
But Joy and gladaass shall they ind therein.

TO lament the breaking down Of fam
ily ties as evidenced by the ease with
which the marriage relation is dis
solved by the courts. Agitation Tor
more rigid divorce laws Is always
supported by the clergy and usually
by a powerful element OF the press.
And yet, what does II all amount to-
Legislation on the subject Of divorce
which does not take into considera-
tion the regulation Of marriage is
merely trcating an effect without re-
gard to the cause which produces III;
and any attempt to restrict marriage
by law in such way as to prevent
domestic unhappiness after the mar
rlage Is contracted Is as futile as
would be an attempt to amend the
law Of gravitatlon by statutory en-
aetment The subject goes too deep
down into the roots Of human nature
70 be susceptible Of successful legis-
lation.
The so-called divorce evil is mere
~ the evil OF unhappy marriage. Tn
happy marriages are almost invaria-
bly, hasty and ill-considered ones. The
prevention Of such alliances can come
only through education and the ere
alton OF q more intelligent puhlit
sentiment regarding the contraction
OF the marriage relation, All inc
laws of all the states in christendon

chance at such work as there Is.
There has been more or less talk

(Journal Of American Medical Asso-
ciatIon)
An interesting discussion has been
going on in the British Medical jour
nal. Sir Victor Horsley, condemning
the practice of serving rum to men on
duty In The trenches, asserted that
alcohol, even in small Quantities,
caused loss of heat fall of body
temperature, and a dulling of the spe-
cial senses, and not only was OF no
assistance TO the soldier IN resisting
the effects OF fatigue, strain, exposure
to cold weather, hut actually de-
creased his effectiveness Horsley re-
views the history of rum IN the Brit
lsh army from the time Of Marlhofs
ough to the present day and sums up
the scientific evidence against II, as
well us the history OF its use In armies
in India, Egypt, the Crimea, our
American civil war and in south Al
rica. Ne affirms that alcohol IS not
"a safeguard to health, but Is on the
contrary a positive detriment. He
states that the army authorities have
contracted for a supply of 5OO,oVo gal-
ions OF rum and that more than 2be,-
600 gallons had been sent 10 France
for the use of the army by the end
OF November, 1914. He urges the
substitution Of warm and nourishing
drinks such as hot SOUP milk, eoi-
Albuquerque morning journal., 1915-05-04

fee, chocolate, etc. In place of rum,
seeing that warm nOurishment en-
ables man to shoot better ana en-
courages him 10 go forward, whereas
rum makes him shoot badly and in
clines him to sit still or even go
back"
The statement on the part of Hors-
ley's critics that a small ration of rum
does not impair the effectiveness OF
the soldier. he replied to by reference
to experiments made by the Swedish
army authorities who discovered that
one-half he British rum ration
caused deterioration of so per cent
in accuracy of rifle shooting, and TO
the practical experience which has led
the British naval officers 10 take
their squadrons out Of harbor for at
least twenty-four hours before target
practice and gun trials, in order to Sc
cure the highest possible scores.
The Journal OF the American Med
ical association is of the opinion that
Sir Victor Horsley's presentation Of
the case eontains demonstrable facts
that will require something more than
personal attacks and general state
ments of denial 10 refute.

WAR NOT TO CAUSE
TOBACCO SHORTAGE

London, April 2l.--There is no oc-
casion TO fear o shortage in the sup
ply Of Turkish, or as it is now de-
scribed on the London market, Ma
cedonian. tobacco. There is stock
OF the tobacco now in warehouse suf-
ficient to last for nearly three years,
and moreover Il is stated that there
is every reason To expect a harvest
this year almost up 10 the normal.
The real difficulty, II is said. is not
the tobacco leaf. but the supply Of
paper Cigarette paper comes from
France. and the standard brands can
now be obtained only with difficulty
Spain and italy are trying to produce
paper which will fiji the bill.
The Macedonian tobacco comes
from Kavala, which was ceded to
Greece after the late war, and the
Greek government is so improving
and extending the cultivation of the
plant that the yield Is already much
better than it was under Turkish
rule II is said
