new YORK IN ORGY
Of PLEASURE
BY Pae. and IntT News Service.

BY Pac. and IntI News Service.
LONDON, April 15.-Sydney Brooks,
the famous correspondent, sends to
the Daily Mail a graphic description
of the orgy or spending and pleasure
seeking which now holds New York in
its grasp. He says:
New York is one of the tragedies of
The war.
Yet even as 1 write the words they
seem absurd. Where is the suggestion
of tragedy? l look out over the city
from the sixteenth floor of my hotel
and everything seems as usual-the
same crystalline brightness of the at.
mosphere, the same white whiffs of
steam against the bluest of skies, the
same glimmering panorama of speck-
less towering edifices. Or l watch il
at night gemmed and twinkling with a
billion lights-the same New York one
has always known, with q movement,
a joyousness, an exhilaration quicker
and sharperedged than anything we
ever had in London.
Where then, is the tragedy? Why,
precisely there; in this very fact and
| condition of sameness. New York, in
credibly enriched by the war, is pur-
| suing the old life, playing the old gid
dy social game as though nothing else
in the world mattered or even existed.
The gayest, the most crowded the
most altogether hectic season in its
history Is drawing to a close.
The social pace on Manhattan Is
land was always hot one. This year
1t has been a gallop. New York was
always a pleasure-loving city. But in
the past few months 1t has eclipsed all
its own frenzied records. It has known
many booms but never such a boom
as the war has brought 1t. It has been
deluged before with spates of money,
but never with such a sustained and
wholesale inundation as this. It has
seen millionaires spring up by the
score, but now 1t has to number them
by the hundred.
How little Americans really care for
dollars is shown by the prodigality
with which they spend them. They
enjoy the pursuit; they are glad to
have the SYMBOL OF victory in their
hands and pockets; but they are the
last people in the world to hoard what
they have gained. Instead, they fling
1t around with unrestrained gusto.
One cannot imagine an American mis-.
er. In this careless, spendthrift at
mosphere, among these Unsuitable
gamblers, he would either be reformed
or snuffed out.
And of all the cities in the Union,
New York Ia the one with by far the
most ample facilities for relieving
Americans of their winnings. II exists
very largely for that end, and long
practice has made 1t almost as expert
as Monte Carlo. But never before has
1t had anything like the opportunities
OF the past few months for indulglng
Its art. All the Americans who need
to live abroad and all who were &C.
customed to flee to Europe from the
terrors Of the American winter have
this year flung themselves upon New
York. The metropolis was never 80
choked with people who were itching
to spend within It's borders the money
that In the years OF peace plastered
Paris and Egypt and the Mediter.

urges EDUCATION
OF IMMIGRANTS
Wilson Tells Citizenship Con,
gress Instruction Is Neces-
sary to Inculcate Loyalty.

President Wilson. addressing the Citi-
zenship Congress at the Wilson Normal
School yesterday. asserted 'the education
of the alien is as important to ourselves
as to those we are trying to naturalize.
IF we are genuine Americans they
cannot avoid the infection. whereas II
we are not genuine Americans there will
be nothing to infect them with, and no
amount of teaching the Constitution or
dwelling upon the idea Of liberty and
justice will accomplish the object unless
we ourselves illustrate the idea of liberty
and justice.
THE sort of loyalty which should be
inculcated into these newcomers is the
loyalty that means you should be ready
to sacrifice every interest you have, and
life itself, If your country calls upon
you"

KEEP OFF THE GRASS"

A general order has been issued by
the state board of administration to
| the superintendent of all state in
situations to remove Immediately all
signs such as Keep off the grass" or
Keep out" "No admittance" and
those designating certain days as
visiting days.
"These signs serve no good purpose
and are very irritating," said Fred
Kern of Belleville, president of the
board.
"The institutions are for the people,
and if they want to walk on the grass
there is no good reason why they
should not. Hereafter every day is
to be visiting day in the state chart
table institutions, so that is another
sign to be abandoned.
IF institution rules are violated by
visitors attendants can tell them in
a nice way. What we are trying to
do is to suppress the atmosphere of
gloom which generally clouds the hap
piness of the inmates of charitable
institutions"
The action of the state board is a
very sensible thing and shows that
democracy is making some progress
after all.
