Growing Efficiency in the Police Depart
ment.

notable feature in the report Of the Police
Depsrtment for 1914, Just issued, is an increase
in convictions following arrests. There was
total number of arrests and summonses of
19O1S4 for the year, compared with 1901 for
1913. The percentage of convictions obtained was
.746, against 727 in 1918. There were $3.50 ar
rests for burglary, with $50 convictions, COM
pared with 1854 arrests and 1884 convictions the
previous year. The year just ended saw how
ever, considerable decrease in the percentage
of arrests made for serious Offences
The record from which these figures are cited
is one Of which the department and Mr.. Woods,
its commissioner may well feel proud. An IN
crease in the total number Of arrests in calen-
dar year compared with its predecessor may or
NAV not indicate an honest, thoroughgong police
force. An arrest may grow out of the commission
of a lawless act or out Of the ignorance or Ill
temper of the man in uniform. But when arrests
are followed by convictions in court they indicate
that the city has a police force whose members
are on the spot when they are needed and get
not only the culprit but the evidence agalnst
him. That is the kind Of police work that counts.
No professional criminal minds being arrested
if there's no evidence TO hold him. AT worst, the
experience subjects him to a more or less limited
term of detention pending his trial, if he be not
discharged by the magistrate before whom he is
arraigned The arrest backed by evidence-the
arrest made by police officer intelligent enough
and careful enough 10 know the law and to pre-
pare a case against the man arrested-is the
surest discourager of crime.

John +. Parsons.

John f. Parsons. who died yesterday, was one
of New York's most successful and distinguished
LAWYERS. His career at the bar here extended
over more than sixty years, and he was also
prominently associated with the development OF
the city in the field Of charitable, religious and
social activity
Mr.. Parsons will be remembered as lawyer
chiefly for what he did in stimulating the creation
Of big industrial corporations He saw early the
promise of greater efficiency and cheaper produc-
ton held out by the principle of combination, and
he became q pioneer in planning the legal basis
for such organizations The Sugar Trust, which
for a long time was held to be model Of the new
form of operation, was largely his work. He
helped to win in the knight case the first i'm
portant decision in the Supreme Court of the
United States giving free hand to the big man
ufacturing corporation so long AS its business OF
production could be Invested OF the interstate
character necessary TO bring il under the jurisdic-
ton Of the federal power.
The principle Of the Knight case was subse-
ouently considerably modified, but Mr.. Parsons
and Mr. johnson, Of Philadelphia, won in 1t
notable victory for their contentious. The bust
ness methods Of the Sugar Trust brought it into
the Segal transactions Mr.. Parsons had to face
popular criticism and prosecution in the federal
court in this city The indictment against him
was withdrawn after disagreement in the jury
room, and it has been generally conceded that no
improper conduct on his part was shown.
His views as a lawyer ran counter TO the senti-
ment which In recent years has tended to restrict
the full development Of the theory of corporate
activity. Yet that fact cannot detract from the
economic and legal value of his life work, since
what is good in corporate organization must re-
main after excuses and dangers disclosed by
practical experience have been sloughed away.
The country therefore owes a debt TO Mr.. Parsons
which will undoubtedly be more freely recognized
bv the next generation than it is now.

A REGRETFUL AND INCREDULoUs CRITIC
He Find. the Union Of the German People Behind
Mitsrism Amazing Thing.

To the Editor Of The Tribune.
Sir: The letter Of John Burroughs in this morn
ng's Tribune regarding the German attitude and part
in the present war will receive the approval Of multi
udes of Americans whose regrctful, almost incredu-
lous amazement he expresses but mildly. Who
among US has not lifelong, held in highest respect
esteem and confidence associates Of German birth
Kindly. honest benevolent, dependable, lovsble, we
have esteemed them.
Many of US have half-conscousy noted for years
past that the German Empire has Leland thus been
the constant cause-in the nordinate and continually
increasing expenditures of money and energy BY
leading European countries in the construction OF war
vessels and ornaments of all sorts and in other
preparations for war-a that as certain TO
end in conflict as that horned cattle will fight But
now that the conflict has befallen, find wellnigh
incredible the startling but indubitabie evidences
brought to of the extent OF German planning 70
attempt world dominion and of their utter disregard
as a nation-of what consider essential in ma
tional as we'll as individual character.
The successful foray of a generation ago By which
two rich provinces and huge sum OF war indem-
nifty" were wrung from the French seems TO have de-
veoped and made permanent the deluson that the
utterly useless achievement Of German world rule
might become accomplished fact.
It can scarcely be considered strange that ruler
like William Of Germany might indulge such dreams
as in times past deluded Alexander. Darius, Cesar
and their kind into leading millions of people through
blood and FIRE Nor is it strange that mobiles"
"courtiers" subsistng in vicious dleness upon the
activities of other-and better-people, considered
ignobly Common" should pander to such false and
misleading ambitions. But II dawns upon US as anaz-
ing that those Common people" of the German race
who have long dwet among and should have be-
come free from racial bias those whom we have
known trusted loved could by mere racial origin be
drawn into attempts TO condone justify what
the world has witnessed Of the course OF the
Kaiser and his supporters in the present envenomed
causeless, eIcuseless contest. JOHN WELDON.

A Federal Labor Bureau Needed.

The plan Of Commissioner General Caminett
20 collect through immigration officials, Postofice
Department officials and agents of the Agricult-
ural Department and TO spread broadcast infor-
nation regarding the need for labor is a good
one-to lust the extent that the information col
Iected is detailed and specific. What is proposed
is in effect a federal employment bureau, but so
far as can be Judged by Mr.. Caminetti's report
the machinery for handling the work Of an en-
ployment bureau does not exist now in workable
shape
The labor demands which the postoffces and
Agricultural Department agents would report
would be mostly those for seasonal labor
crop pickers, grain harvesters, cannery workers,
lumbermen end the like. The seasonal labor prob
lem is one which requires the deftest OF handling
nv experienced persons if the situation is TO be
.bettered II does good, for instance TO send
word broadcast 70 the country that a given county
in q gwen state needs hands TO get In the wheat
crop If that brings 1000 or 1000 more job
seekers than the crop will take care Of. Pre-
cisely such things have happened through the
spread of loose information about need for
seasonal labor.
A federal employment bureau would unques-
tionably be q good thing in helping TO solve the
unemployment problem II must be bureau
capable of working scientifically in the collection
NJ is information and the giving out Of its bule-
tins regarding need for aborers. 1t seems hardly
likely that bureau whose agents attended TO
their duties as an ofshoot of more important or
more insistent work would achieve the results
needed lust now. Until Congress gets ready TO
establish a labor bureau Of experts to collect,
digest. tabulate and publish information so that

The Christmas Truce.

Letters from the front telling Of Christmas
Day are now appearing in the London news
papers, and they give an amazing picture of the
informal truce which the cable dispatches men
toned casually. What neither the Pope nor all the
peace lovers could accomplish by official arrange
ment the men of the ranks, English and German,
put through out Of sheer human good will.
The truce was not universal by any means.
One of the most striking letters, from an English
major tells how the men got out Of their trenches
and mixed together, exchanging cigarettes and so
on. Some of the English soldiers actually crossed
into the German trenches, there was "sing-
song" and football match. But this was only
with the regiment directly opposite in the
trenches, who were Ssxons. Next down the line
was Prussian regiment, which did not observe
the truce and against whose snping the Saxons
warned their friends the enemy.
AS for what the Englishmen thought Of their
enemies. here is the comment Of major in the
Leicestershire regiment:
We exchanged cigars, cigarettes and paper. They
arc Jolly cheerv fellows for the most part and 1t

The Decline of Aviation in America

The annual dinner of the Aero Club OF America
brought out in clear fashion the regrettabe de-
cline of aviation in this country, which saw It's
birth. As sport flying no longer appeals on the
large scale which il did when planes were fresh
wonder of the world And Congress has been
exceedingly slow in developing avators for use
in war. As result the output of machines and
the training of aviators have languished.
This condition is greatly TO be regretted, and
change for the better is much TO be desired The
suggestion of the Second Assistant Postmaster
General that from 800 to 1000 aeroplanes could
ne utilized TO carry mail to advantage offers an
interesting measure Of relief. In his view the
machines could be used effectively and econom-
icallv on Western routes, where carriage by rail-
road is devious OF course. the trained corps
would offer an immediate source of aviators and
machines in time Of war. Whether this rlan is
practicable or not. the aviation corps of the army
and navy should be greatly increased at once.
Here is a simple and urgent duty resting upon
Congress which cannot be too promptly met.

CELTS AND THE KAISER
The Mayor Of Halifax Wonders at
Their Attitude.

To the Editor or Inc Tribune.
Sir: One need not be surprised at
the sympathy shown by German-Ameri-
cans for their Fatherland or at the
strenuous efforts they are making to
influence the government of the United
States in its attitude toward the war
ring nations OF Europe. The tie Of
blood is a strong one, and racial sympa-
thy often overcomes ethical consider
atoms.
What passes comprehension, how
ever, is that some Irish-Americans, and
notably prominent representatives OF
the Ancient Order of Hbernians, should
range themselves on the side of Ger
many. Do they think the welfare OF
Ireland would be promoted if Britain
should go down TO defeat before the
German invader? Do they think that
Irishmen at home would be more con-
tented and more prosperous under Ger
man domination than under q system
Of self-government which now seems TO
be assured to Ireland? Are not John
Redmond and the other Irish publcists
who arc making such passionate ap-
peals 10 their countrymen to rally to
the support of the Allies in a better
position 10 determine INC uANs VI Nhc
people OF Ireland in this crisis than
are the officers of the A. o. II. in the
United States? Irishmen in Britain
and in British dependencies overseas
are heart and soul with the Allies in
this stupendous struggle. and they do
not view with any satisfaction hostility
to the cause of the Allies on the part
Of men of their race in any quarter of
the world
Moreover, Scotsmen, the vast ma
jority of whom for many years have
steadily supported the demands of Ire
land for an adequate measure Of self
government. cannot but feel greatly
disappointed in observing that some
Irishmen in the United States are JOIN
ing hands with German-Americans to
restrict, IL possible, the fighting re-
sources Of the Allies, under the gulse
of a pretended neutrality.

WINTER WEATHER.

When after weeks OF winter rains
The foggy air hangs thick and wet
When msted are the window panes.
And wall, and sheets and cupboards sweat;
When chilblains itch in every shoe,
And the minds furnished chambers too
Arc damp and sodden through and through;
When birds sit silent in the copse,
And prudent folk az meals are mum,
And Martha's scolding never stops,
And William sucks ,ulky thumb;
When paths are pools, and noses pearicd'
And cats in Kitchen tenders curled
Dream Of happier, drier world;
Then suddenly when least we think.
bright wind breaks the mist and there
The sun looks out above the brink
OF piled-up clouds, stair over stair;
Glad then nj heart are all live things,
Both small and great on feet or wings
Birds boys and beggsrs, cats and kings

FROM A SUBWAY VICTIM
What He Deems Should Be Done to
Safeguard the Future.
10 the Editor of The Tribune.

To the Editor of The Tribune.
Sir: Now that the smoke is cleared
out Of the tunnel it seems appropriate
to consider calmly one or two points
respecting the safety of the subway
which have, more or less, escaped gem
eral attention.
First-Has not freedom from fatal
accidents in the subway in the past
been as much from good luck as good
management?
Granted that the operating efficiency
of the subway Is unsurpassed and its
record for passenger safety unap..
proachable, we have the testimony of
Mr.. Hedley. reinforced by Electrical
Engineer Wilder. that the electrical
blowout which occurred last week at
SD ST. might happen any time at any
place in the subway, and thai had II
happened while train was opposite
(instead of two blocks away at least
three of the cars in the train would
have Immediately burst into flames
To those who. like the writer, were
in one OF the stalled trains the cues
ton arises, How. many could possibly
have escaped? Was IL good manage
ment or good luck that STONED one
