orators wanted to combine for re-
striction of output, bridling OF COM
petition, maintenance of better
wages, prices and labor conditions,
and the better conservation of the
coal, of which supplies are newt
ably wasted under the conditions OF
extreme competition. But American
law would not permit.
It ought to be possible to decide
such an issue on the facts. There Is
no doubt that vast quantities Of coal
have been wasted in this country by
reason of mining methods under
which the cream is skinned of be-
cause that can be got out most
cheaply, while the rest is left in the
ground to be lost in worked-out and
abandoned mines. Similar methods,
in the lumber business, have been
responsible for loss of much timber
value that ought to have been saved.
There is talk about conservation, of
natural resources, but laws enforce
methods that make such conserva-
ton well-nigh impossible. Germany
is the worlds leader in practical
conservation; and Germany's meth
DDS in important regards are the
reverse of ours. II is time for q
common-sense adaptation Of means
to desired ends; for understanding
whether competition is an unmixed
benefit, and whether combination is
an invariable and unqualified evil.

THE MODERN SUNDAY SCHOOL

The proceedings of the Sunday
School Association of the District,
now holding its annual convention,
illustrate how far gone are the days
Of the little red tickets, exchanged
for green tickets, which, if cashed
in, might bring a hymn book for re-
ward about Christmas time.
Not that Sunday schools have
been outgrown by the average child.
Parents who fail to attend church
still seem to practice a vicarious
sort Of religion by seeing that the
children attend Sunday school. That
is the only inference to be drawn
from the attendance figures Of the
Sunday schools as compared with
those of the churches.
Interviews with veteran Sunday
school workers in the District, pub
lished the last few Sundays in The
Times, show how efficient and mod
ern the methods of some Sunday
schools have become. A graded
series of studies, comprising maps
of Bible places, collateral reading,
comments on the ethical teachings
Of the Bible, and even the compara-
tive studies of religions, form some
Of the features of the modern Sun
day schools, not to mention the more
spectacular features, such as kin
dergartens and baby checking
rooms.
The Sunday school has come in
for ridicule only where it has fallen
down on its job, and failed to meet
the situation sGuarely. The modern
Sunday school has a place in the
community as surely as the day
school, and the former, as we'll as
the latter, can be made, if the right
sort of methods are applied, a train
ing school for good citizenship and
civic ideals.

NEW YORK'S JOINT DEBATE

The State of New York has been
for several weeks, even months, en-
gagged in one of the most satisfac-
tory campaigns observed in this
country in many years. 1t has given
the rare demonstration of the pos
sibility that an American constit-
uency can consider abstract ques-
tions even to the comparative exclu-
sion of personal issues.
"Shall the vote be given to
women? ?" and "Shall the new consti-
tuition be adopted?" have been the
dominating questions in the New
York campaign. These do not in
volve the election of anybody to Of
flee; they are problems in govern
mental polity, of the sort that Amer
leans commonly refuse to consider
so seriously as they deserve. 1t has
been observed a myriad of times
that voters can get really excited
about nothing so much as the per-
sonal contest to decide who shall
have given office, while vastly
more important matters arouse only
languid interest. Constitutional
amendments, printed on the same
ballot with the tickets of nominees
for Office, commonly poll only a pitt
fully small proportion of the votes
that are cast for and against the
candidates.
Perhaps the count of votes in New
= York will bring repetition Of this
experience. But the fact remains
that a wonderfully inspiring cam
paign has been made on both the
suffrage issue and the general pro-
Hosal of the new constitution, and

POLI'S.

inside the Lines, melodra matte
episode from the pen OF Earl Derr Big
gers. played with exceptional capability
by the new Poll players. was given an
enthusia site reception in Washington
yesterday. The piece has much dra-
matte force. and the climaxes. particu-
larly the denouement OF the plot in the
last nct. hsd a grip and a snap that told
with the audiences.
The plot deals with the intrigue and
counter-intrigue Of the German and
British spy systems shortly after the
beginning of Europe's great war.
Miss Jane Gerson. typical American
buyer for a big American firm. finds
herself at Gibraltar without passports,
after getting her Paris gowns through
line after line Of French sentries. Other
American tourists are stranded on The
Rock" There comes a Captain Wood
house. who aids Miss Gerson to get Eng
lish gold for her French paper. after
having denied previous meeting in
Berlin. He swears Miss Gerson to Sc
crecy as to the previous meeting. She
sees him pretend that he Is just from
a long tour Of duty in Egypt. and
watches him escape mary situations
that would compromise him as a Ger
man spy, through utilizing informant ton
she has given him. Her, faith remains
strong. however. and she refuses to
break her pledge. 1t seems that with
other conspirators he is to blow up the
great British feet from inside the Glib
raltGr fortifcations. when at the last
moment he overpowers his principal
fellow-conspirator. arrests him and
other intriguers. and appears as Cap
tain Caverdish. British Engineers, the
hero. woo. working as German spy.
ferrets out the spy system.
Miss Marguerite Starr. as Jane Ger
son. and leading woman in the absence
of Miss Rittenhouse. who Is still suffer-
ing from a sprained ankle. gives n
convincing performance In difficult
role. and one that might easily be over
done. Mr.. Van Buren. as Captain
Woodhouse, gives his usual finished per-
formance. There are many others de-
serving OF mention. particularly Miss
Harrington as Lady Cranda!l. Howard

you take the position which should
as a matter of course be taken by every

BATTLE OF AQUA PRIETA

II Pancho Villa shall win victory
in his final attack on the superior
Carranzista force entrenched at
Aqua Prieta, opposite Douglas,
Ariz., he will put a new face on the
military as we'll as the diplomatic
situation in Mexico. The odds would
all seem to be in favor Of Carranza,
yet Villa has demonstrated at times
in the past a military genius that
must be taken into account. 1t has
been necessary for him to take a
last fling with fortunes dice. for it
is not in the nature of things that,
cut off from new munitions by the
American embargo, and from reve-
nues by Carranza's control Of Gus
tom houses, he can hold his forces
together for a very long time unless
he can demonstrate his capacity to
win a quick and decisive victory.
The attack at Aqua Prieta was
started in the night, which is in ac-
cord with the Villa methods. Ac-
counts indicate that Villa is we'll
equipped with artillery and machine
guns, though the Carranza forces
are superior in this regard as also
in numbers. Villas chance of
maneuvering effectively is greatly
lessened by the fact that the inter-
national line marks the limit Of the
battlefield, and that American forces
are there in considerable force, pre-
pared to take part If necessary to
protect the neutrality Of our soil.
Altogether, the chances would
seem to favor the crushing Of the
Villa enterprise in this battle. II
that be accomplished, the problem Of
administrative capacity will be the
one for Carranza to solve. He will
have chance to prove whether he
is a fit man for the task of recon-
structing Mexico and restoring con-
stitutional government.
A Villa success would entail grave
embarrassments to the United
States. The Washington Govern
ment would find itself committed to
a loser. As Lord Salisbury said of
England, it would have "bet on the
wrong horse" The extent Of the
disaster that might possibly be in
flicted on Carranza in a single bat
tie is not easily to be estimated. He
has not put all his eggs in one
basket, as Villa has done. He might
retrieve; it is not apparent how
Villa could do so if now crushingly
defeated.
The events on the Mexican border
in the next few days may very pos
sibly determine whether finally the
United States will be drawn into ac-
tual conflict in the country across
the Rio Grande.
