The Awards to the Switehmeu.

Under the awards OF arbitrator the
railway switchmen will receive a wage
raise Of about 12 rcr cent. They nre
to be paid for overtime at the new
wage rate. Eight hours or less Is to
constitute a day and pay will be COM
puted or this basis.
The men did not ask that their
work he restricted to eight hours
They asked for pay and a half FOR
work beyond eight hours. Thus, by In.
direction and penalty. they sought that
limitation Of working hours which
they professed to desire. and which. II
they did desire 1t, they should have
asked for openly.
The arbltrators have sQuarely met
the issue. granting the eight hour day
but refusing to penalize the railroads
while they are making the gradual
and costly REIMBURSEMENT that the eigh,
hour day entails. The result ia tina
the men will he able. in some In,
stances, TO work only eight hours in
twenty-four; and the number 40 fl.
vored will increase from year to year,
Those men who prefer long hours and
n bigger wage will have the privilege
OF making extra money.

Half Way Individusnst.

Strong though our admiration OF
the individualist, we cannot grieve
for the Pennsylvania to whom the
Interstate Commerce Commission has
denied the right to run his own train
on any railroad. For this man is only
a 80 per cent. i~ndiyiduallst. He would
use his private engine and cars, but
| upon the rails OF another. Such half
measures are to be frowned upon.
The individualist who wishes To in
dulge a passion for railroading must
go the limit. Let him buy n right of
way, build n road and then run his
train. To be perfectly indivldualistic
he should make the engine Of steel
from ore digged by himself. Every
tie should be hewn from his own
self-planted forest. In the end he
ought to be his W engineer, fireman,
conductor, porter and passenger.
While not at the throttle or the shovel
he could take up his own ticket,
brush on his own clothes, and growl
because he was late. If no could not
manufacture enough munitions alone
to make a freight business profitable
he could build n subway in New York
and Il trains in 1t. The present
subway hns been adjudged a public
road, we believe, but tho individual
list would suffer n nervous strain IL
he tried to run his train between ex-
presses 100 seconds apart.
We advise the Pennsylvania, II he
seeks the pleasure Of running a train
without supervision by the Commerce
Commission, to sneak into the parlor
next Monday morning and confscate,
temporarily, the brand new rolling
stock of the child Of the household.

The Use Of Sparrow Catching Devices,

To THE EDITOR OF THE SuN-Str: II
Is quite important to know the American
sparrows. as they should be let free

that has a specklcd breast or thai has
a red patch on top Of the head. The
English sparrow has no speckles on the
breast. which Is n uniform, slightly
soiled white. The bill Is short and
broad at the base and the p half
has an Out curve. The under half Is

ones the yellow Is pronounced.
To kill the sparrows when taken from
the trap ] believe that my way Is the
best. I throw them as hard az I can
against q wall or house or on the hard
ground. I believe this death Is abso-
lutely painless and far better than

The Colonel % Santa Claus,

Colonel ROOSEVELT did not dress for
the part when he played Santa Claus
to the Cove school children ut Oyster
Bay. The Colonel Is just as genial
and jolly as the saint; has as high q
color, painted by the sun and the
winds, and In physical habit is not
dissimilar, having breadth and depth,
girth and rotundity. The patron saint
Of children may be additionally
older, but his heart is NJ younger and
s0under than the ColOnel's.
All this being SO, 1t would be i'm.
possible for the Colonel TO disguise
himself with fur and tinsel and the
trapping of n %patriarchal white beard.
Even tho littlest Cove child would
have recognized in him the Sage and
Soldier Of Sagamore Hill as soon NJ
he opened his mouth as the dispenser
OF delightful gifts from the annual
Christmas tree.

Pension the Police Horses!

TO THE EDITOR OF THE SuS-SU: l
read your article dealing with the sale
by public auction of tho police horses
that have been rendering loyal. faithful
and ungrudglng service for periods Of
many years in tho New York city Police
Department.
The way in which these old and faith
full servants of tho city are in their old
age thrown out like so much rubbish
and sold at public auction to junkmen
and others makes painful reading. l
propose a movement to have changed
or amended the provision in tho city's
charter that condemns to public auction
these old and faithful four legged SER
wants because the city will not spend
the pitifully small sums to protect them
against hardship for their few remain
ing years. J. II. DTMoNr, Jr.

On the Abandonment OF the Mon

The entrance OF the United states
into any league or alliance with Euro

the entrance Of European Powers into

This proposition Is as self-evidcnt as
the fact that an honest coin which has
heads on one side must have tails on

We hope that Secretary LANSING

That he admits that such an alliance
or league can be effected only through
treaties requiring ratification By the

The Main Point.

The unfortunate circumstances at
tending the Presidents attempt TO
widen the rift in the war clouds, the
antiquities of the original note, the
explanations, the explanations OF ex-
plantations, the persistent rumors OF n
mercenary use Of advance information
in the manipulation Of the stock mar
ket-all these things separately or to-
gether should no. md cannot obscure
the main fact of the situation.
If the President succeeds in what
was undoubtedly his chief purpose.
no matter how he may have Numbered
in manner. he will have rendered serv-
ice not only to the general interests Of
civilized humanity but also specifically
and distinctly to the cause of the Allies
and as distinctly to the cause of the
German people.
This Is not a paradox but a de
nionstrable truth,
Outside OF Germany and her auxil-
iary nations, most intelligent people
already know for what the Allies are
fighting, even If Mr.. WILSON. In his
rhetorical and metaphysical fashion,
processes ignorance Of that subject.
II the result Of the Presidents move
IL to make it as plain to the millions Of
honest. sensible and peace loving leu
tons as it must be now to the Germans
higher up that the Allies do o pur-
pose to stop short Of full reparation to
the innocent victims Of the military
policy Of Germany's ruling class and
adequate guarantees for the future,
then. certainly, the cause Of the Al
lies will be promoted In signal degree
for nations will not keep on fighting
hopelessly TO cover mistakes and
crimes OF dynastic origin.
On the other hand, II a pause for
the consideration Of the truth Of the
