When the present week ends. The
Tribune Fresh Air Fund will have sent
to the country for two-week outings
more than 5000 boys and girls from
the poor families of New York. The
total at the close Of to-day, unless
plans miscarry, will be 5,943.
To-day 2,272 of these youngsters are
actually in the country.
Some of the two thousand and odd
are just finishing up their vacations,
some are just beginning them. Some
are at Tribune Fresh Air homes, some
are the guests of country families on
farms or in the villages. Some are
near New York. some are four hundred
miles away. All, however, are spend
ing glorious vacations, if reports are
to be credited.
AS the Fresh Air season is five weeks
old to-day, it is evident that The Trib-
une Fund has been sending its small
proteges out of the city at the rate OF
about | 200 a week. This is at the rate
of 200 day for the work-a-day week.
Three parties Of children were sent
away yesterday-one of 1l6 girls to
Ashford Hill, The Tribune Fund home
at Ardsley, n. Y; another, party of
thirty negro girls, to the Garrett Home
at Westbury, L. H., and the third, a
party of twenty Italian boys, TO Camp
Warwick at Warwick, N. Y.
To-day is one Of the big Fresh Air
days of the season. Seven Fresh Air
parties, totalling exactly 500 boys and
girls, are to shoot off to the north and
west to spend full two weeks.
Ffty-eght of these children go to
Oneida County to places near Utica.
Fifteen of them, the smallest party,
go to the Green Mountains at Castle
ton, Vt. Sxty-four of them-a lucky
sixty -four-go to Richfeld Spa, n. Y.
Fifty-eight go to Delhi, n. Y, as the
first Fresh Air guests that place has
had IN years. sixteen go 10 camp
Clements, near Schenectady, n. Y. The
other two parties are the largest and
90 to two Tribune homes-164 Of them
to Ashford Hill and 125 to the Shep-
herd Knapp Home at Litchfeld, Conn.
Friday will see three parties go
away, all to Tribune homes. To Deve-
reux Home, at Deposit, n. Y, will go
100 under-nourished children selected
by various clinics of the city. To
Happy Land, at Tenahy, n. j., will go
fifty small girls. To Shepherd Knapp
Home the weeks second batch of 125
boys.

that the Fresh Air campaign has about

There were never better prospects for
outings for boys and girls than at the
present date.

This does not take into considera-

accommodations for fully as many
more children. Five thousand places
for children may therefore fairly be
said to be in sight.

FIGHT PREFERENCE
IN CIVIL SERVICE
Commissioner Williams and Re-
form Association Protest
Proposed Amendment.

William Williams. the Commissioner
Of Water Supply, joined yesterday in
the protest against the proposed amend
ments % the state constitution which
would grant absolute preference in ap-
pointment and promotion in the civil
service 20 veterans of the Spanish War,
volunteer fremen and members of the
state militia. Commissioner Williams
made his protest in a letter to Rush
Rhees, chairman Of the Civil Service
COMMITTEES of the Constitutional Con-
yention. He said he wrote as Spanish
War veteran, and knew that many Of
them shared his views.

Gates have given serious thought to its
effects upon tn efficiency of executive
government" he wrote. at is no small
task 70 administer great public Offices,
even with the best available assistance,
and il becomes still more difficult when
department heads are handicapped by
being frequently required to choose for
appointment or retention men OF low
efficiency in preference to those Of high
efficiency.
The proposition is that the prefer

who receives an honorable discharge,
even though he may have worn uni
form but a few weeks, may have rem
de,ed no conspicuous service, and may
never have left the United States. do

where patriotism must thus be reward

A similar protest was made IN state
ment issued yesterday by the Civil Ser
vice Reform Association.
THE question must be settled on the
floor of the convention" the statement
read There is grave danger that the
preference proposals may be adopted IN
he absence of an intelligent public SEN

ton demands that the delegates in he
