REAL ESTATE BOARD AGAINST
TENEMENT HOUSE AMENDMENT

adds the board. II has the approval Of
the Controller.
Approval has also been given TO the
principle Of Senator Emerson's bill TO
impose a tax on the sale Of admission
tickets to theatres, baseball games. au-
tomobile races, etc, but the board says
IL is somewhat defective.
Assemblyman Evans's bill, which
aims 10 protect the water sheds from
pollution, has also been approved.
The board will make a special effort
TO procure the passage Of Assembly
man Bells bill, Int. No. 4l5, when
would amend the real property law by
requiring that all leases or interest IN
real property exceeding one month
shall be in writing. This bill is intro
duced at the request of the Real Estate
Board. While it is designed to correct
a common practice of unfair breaking
Of verbal leases, it is also Of advantage
to the tenant.
The Real Estate Board is TO launch
membership campaign this week. IT
hopes to increase its membership by
1000 firms and individuals. Property
owners in larger numbers than ever
are protesting the eXtravagant eXpendi-
lures of the city and state, says the
board. With an increased membership
it believes lis work for minimizing
legislative and municipal obstacles TO
real property interests will be more in
fluential and productive Of results.
joseph p. Day, William c. Breed,
Warren Chuikshank, Lawrence p. Eli
man, George T. Mortimer and Robert
+. Simon are members Of the campaign
committee.

Another TeutOn Dream Shattered

Another TeutOn dream il shattered with the re-
port of the German military critic, Capt Won sail
mann. that there is no longer possibility of war
between the United States and Japan.
BerIin's fantastic ideas of the outside world led
the German war.makers astray in the summer OF
1914 and in spite of many bitter experiences these
same war-makers continue to make the most unpar
donable mistakes. Their distorted psychology, once
the admiration of other nations because it had not
been put to the test and found wanting has not yet
been get right. And it will not be set right until
they are convinced by the only argument they rec
ognize-that of superior force.
Germany's theory of world-war was predicated
on the belief that Belgium would allow access for
millions of soldiers to attack France; that England
would not come into the war; that the Irish revolt
would cripple Britain fatally that the suffragette
faction would turn England; that Italy could
be bribed into continued passiyeness; that one de-
cisive defeat would dispose of Russia Even after
the bitter truth had dawned on Berlin, the vii.
helmstrasse continued TO expect the impossible.
Americans could be murdered with impunity; the
United States could not pass CONSUMPTION bill (;
if passed, there would be an American revolution
and probably civil war; troops in force could
never be landed in Europe-and other wild flights
of kultured imagination. ......
The vision of an Acknowledgements war per-
sisted in the German mind long after other illusions
had been dispelled by hard knocks the German
Uranium.
But the recent visit of Viscount Ishi with it's at.
fendant circumstances shattered this illusion also.
1t is true that the question of an exchange Of
American steel and iron for japanese shipping still
remains unsettled and that there is possibility of
some debate and perhaps slight friction before it
is settled but this debate and friction far
moved from hostilites that not even the censorfed
Germans can derive comfort from the situation.
Not in fifteen years have relations between Japan
and the United States-and the circumstances in
which each country now finds itself-been so de-
cisive for peace as today War between the two
countries is an economic and military impossibility

I've seen parks in wretched condition
because the keepers were too lazy to
turn on water tap, and no one to stir
them up! .@.z
Out Of this loose, shiftless condition
of unaccountability to any one man,
the need of a superintendent to take
over the management of the parks
and school grounds appeared pre-
eminently necessary If any advance
we're to be made at all in this division
Of municipal business. Accordingly,
the ordinance referred to above was
passed and Mr.. Vierra was appointed
superintendent
Mr.. Vierra's appointment was made
Just before Mayor Lane left office. He
has done extremely we'll. But what is
more important now, at this writing,
is that the office has amply justified
itself. Ask any school teachers If this
office should be abolished, or Jumped
in with some other office, and the ans
wer will be emphaticalIy in the mega
tive. And put the same question to
