American Press Affords
Neutral Zone for Bellig-
erent Discussion.
BLOWS
NOT LOOKED FOR
Russia's Aim at COnstantinOple
and Dardanelles COmpli-
Gates Situation.
By FRANCIS W. HIRST.
Editor The Economist" London.
nv Cable 10 Tho Tribune

London, May 23.-Those whom !
consulted on President Wilson's
Charlotte speech attach great i'm
portance to it, but only two or three
sentences have yet been published
here.
United States newspapers have af-
forded a neutral zone for discussion
between belligerents. The view that
the war cannot be ended by Ma
poeonic blows gains ground and in
creasing numbers believe that the
status quo ante with notifications
offers a ground for a secure settle
ment. especially now that the changed
psychology of the German people be-
gins TO peep out in the German press.
Their long casually lists and tinan-
cial sacrifices compared with our new
vote Of credit tell everywhere, but
German dependency is further slim
ulated by their food shortage and the
recognition Of their commercial isola-
ton.
The difficulties Of reaching a set
Element Of Eastern problems would
be very great if Russia pressed the
views of Professor Paul Miliukof,
leader of the Democratic Constitu-
tional party of the Duma. which IN
clude the acquisition of CONSTANT
nople and fortification of the Darda-
neles.
Sir Edwin Pears reminded me to-
day that Constantinople has popu
lation of more than a million. in
Guiding mainly Greeks. Turkish and
Armenians. It has only about five
or six thousand Slavs. including, per-
haps, fifty Russians.
The establishment of free port
with no Notifications appears to be
the ideal solution.
Meanwhile peace talk continues IN
the financial district, and the stock
markets. though quieter to-day,
maintain cheerfulness. Bulgarian
IS sold yesterday at r. Brazilians
were strong. The fall in silver may
indicate that the high price brought
it to the melting pot. Clearly the
vast quantity of silverware operates
against extreme prices.
Daylight saving has been intro
duced without friction or incon-
venience except for some grumbling
by farmers. We all rise and retire
an hour earlier than usual. and only
complain that it was not done in
April But the saving Of water in
the watering Of streets is rousing
protests. for dust carries disease.

THIS DESERVES
CONSIDERATION
2. E. TWITTY WRITES THE NEWS
REGARDING THE CLEANUP
CAMPAIGN.

The following letter received yes
terday by The News is seIf-explana.
tory:
Editor Of The News:
The Splendid work done by the Civ
ic association in Brunswick during the
last few years deserves the commen-
dation Of all the people of Brunswick,
and it is gratifying to note. that the
Officers and leaders in this work are
now receiving more generally the sup
port of the public. They have revo-
lutionized the appearance of a number
of our parks and streets, and partic-
ular mention should be made of the
improvements that have been made
on the small squares on Newcastle
street
Their campaign in connection with
cleanup week is being vigorously CON
Quoted. and this is an opportune time
to call attention 10 the duty of the
merchants on Newcastle street to CO.
operate in the efforts to keep the New
castle street squares in order Some
of the merchants unpack their goods
and put the wrappings and waste pa
per in the rear Of their stores either
on Grant or Richmond street, as the
case may be, and with the winds pre-
vailing as they so frequently are these
squares are frequently almost covered
with this waste paper in a few min
utes after they have been raked and
cleaned.
There is an ordinance against put
ting trash of this kind in open recep-
tacles, and | feel sure that it is only
necessary to call the attention of the
merchants to this condition, and to
tn most unhappy results of this prac-
tice. Some of the merchants have
