Once upon a time a big mov-

house near where some OF the
children we're playing and the
men began to move out the furni-
ture and pack it on the van. The
children stood about watching and
soon some Of them began 70 jump
up on the wagon and bother the
men who we're afraid some OF
them would get hurt.

A Dream Come True.
to control

II is hard that so gallant and deserving
an officer as the commander of the Move
should be obliged by his government to
play the mountebank and cheer an
ignorant populace by talking balderdash
like a very Reventlow. His adventures
were lively enough to furnish forth an
enthralling story, but the plain nara
tive was not enough and for political
purposes he had to make more of his
achievement than his own judgment as
a naval officer could possibly allow.
"You can imagine" said he, address
ing an audience of his fellow citizens,
"what a moment that was when one day
eight British captains stood before me
and l was able to say to them: This
is what the German feet has accom-
plished!"
This is what the German fleet has ac-
destruction Of seven
traders and the capture of one doubtful
prize, ultimately lost because the captors
dared not attempt to take her TO home
port. Ten times seven have been taken
as prizes by the British, but Count Doh
did not dwell on that point.
He knew his audience. "Our voyage has
proved" he said with admirable effron-
terry, that the so-called blockade of Ger
man ports is only dream on the part
Of the British"
If any of his audience remembered
that, including all detained, seized and
captured, Germany and her allies had
supplied Britain and her allies with some
$50 ships, and that in the whole history
of the blockade the little exploit of the
Move was unique, it must have struck
them that for Germany the British
dream was something Of nightmare.

The Anthracite Peace.
TFrom me PIiIadcIphia Lcdg

~ rom The FhitddTlpHtd LcCgcr
An increase Of about 10 per cent IN the
wages Of the anthracite miners will, as in
all similar increases made in the past be
borne by the consumers who buy coal. The
operators found IL impossible in this day OF
generally advancing pay for workers in all
industrial fields TO deny an increase TO the
miners. But they did refuse very properly
10 declare their mines TO be a "closed shop
against all but members Of labor unions.
That is one distinct gain for all the people
of the United States The theory of the
CLOSED shop" has no place in free America.
And another thing the operators very justly
refused to do is to act as a collecting agency
for a labor organization. Such system
would be a species of tyranny over indepen-
dent workmen TO which no employer should
ever lend his support.
Perhaps the most satisfactory OF all the
elements in this anthracite settlement is the
agreement which will last for four years.
That means that until spring of 1920 there
will be no more threats of a general tie-up OF
hard coal supply. Taking from S10,0OO0OO to
s12OOOO00 from the purchasers of anthracite
TO put into the pay envelopes Of $4,000 min
ers and mine laborers may seem rough on the
consumer but wages in all the large indus
tries have advanced, and in every instance
the consumer roots the bill. Who else, in
deed. is there TO foot IL?

Jobs for the Middle-Aged.

To the Editor of The Tribune.
Sir: In reply to the letter Of this date on
middle-aged job hunters, signed Henry
Chancellor, would say that there are many
positions open to the middle-aged, both men
and women, if they would reconcile them
selves to public opinion instead Of fighting
against it; also be willing to begin on
small pay and take what is offered. There
is too much coddling Of the very young;
parents work themselves & death, and far
beyond their mental capacity, too, for the
sake Of giving their self-important son OF
their hyaway daughter "a chance" instead
of compelling them to aid in the family
support, Of which they are a part.
While speed and pep" are attributes OF
the very young, experience and good man
ners should be the hallmark of the middle
aged, and many people prefer the latter fol-
responsible positions.
Here is list Of occupations open to men
of forty and over: Hotel clerk, night
watchman, stage-door man, property man
theatre. private secretary (to include
typewritng and stenography), sexton OF
church. superintendent mot janitor) OF
school or public building reviser Of manu-
scripts. translator of same. interpreter at

money. history % buildings, knowledge OF

to backward boy, generally useful man to old
man or woman mot valet; to shop, buy
tickets. pay and collect bills, keep accounts

Fifty Millions for Window Dressing

Representative Bennett may have in
dulged in a slight exaggeration when he
said in the House the other day, in a speech
on the Administrations ship purchase bill:
"There are only two men in New
York for this bill. One is William
Gibbs McAdoo and the other is Mr..
Gibboney. l do not know why Mr..
McAdoo is for it. He is Secretary of
the Treasury Mr.. Gibboney is very
plain and candid as to why he is for
it. He is a hired advocate. He has
the right TO be-"
There is one other New Yorker we know
Of who is for the bill. He is a shipping
man and wrote some letters to The Tribune
last year. as did Mr.. Gibboney, attempting
to convince us that we we're wrong in at
tacking the undenatured government
ownership and operation measure which
was filbustered TO death in the Senate in
February, 1915.
We are willing TO increase Mr.. Bennet's
estimate of the popular demand in this
neighborhood for the ship purchase bill by
at least so per cent. Yet when We do that
we do ample justice to the size of the local
following behind Mr.. McAdoo in his fren-
zied efforts to secure a $5O,OOOOOO option
on the funds in the United States Treas
.ury.
Every local body interested in commerce
or shipping has condemned the government
ship purchase scheme. The Chamber OF
Commerce Of the United States is strong
ly against it. 1t holds out no hope of n
rational or permanent enlargement Of the
American merchant marine. It was de
vised as an emergency measure in the fall
of 1914, when the seas were still infested
with German commerce destroyers and the
merchant ships flying the flags Of the
Allies and even privately owned neutral
ships shrank from engaging in the ocean
carrying trade. There might have been
some reason then for the creation Of a
merchant feet operated under government
auspices and protection.
But now the seas are clear and all the
available ocean tonnage in the world IS
kept employed. Profits are unprecedented
and shipbuiding is stimulated as never
before There is no emergency requiring
government aid to shipping and building
orders from the government would only
dispace the piled-up orders of private con-
Germs.
There has never been a time when there
was less economic justification for an ex-
pertinent in governmental purchase. owner
ship or operation. Yet the shipping bill
which the House of Representatives has
Just passed paradoxically commits the gov
ernment TO purchasing ships for the next
five years, during which the shipping in
terest must continue to boom, and to dis
continue government assistance just at the
moment when the boom will probably be
punctured and the profits of private capi-
tai will sink back TO or even fall below the
normal level.
The House shipping bill cannot help to
