FRANCE DEMANDS CANDOR

CABINET crises in France are not what
" they are in other countries. In Eng
land they are the result OF political
changes in national thought; in France
they are almost always a mere process OF
administrative readjustment. For exam
pie. such detail of administration as the
Goethals .Denman dispute would have
been a parliamentary "affaire' In Paris
and the fall of Premier and Cabinet would
have been inevitable. But there would
have been no more change of sentiment
or of political alignment in France as a
result Of the incident than there was
here.
French Cabinet is appointed to ac.
complish II certain definite program. and
when that is achieved a new Cabinet is
sought for the next series OF necessary
measures. Naturally the changes are
more frequent in war than in peace, as
war demands a constant readjustment of
policy. SO far from indicating apathy
toward the war, the present house clean
ing in the French Parliament shows
that the nation is keenly alive to the
needs of the new situation. The specific
charge against Painlevc was lack of can.
dor about current scandals" 1t is
healthy sign that candor of the kind
Lloyd George has just given such fine
example of is desired as much in France
as elsewhere.

pies of the food administration. Proflteer-
ing greed in this matter, which takes on
all the aspect of conspiracy in restraint Of

OF food ready for consumption should

Hundreds of cars lying idle should be

board is to keep all food commodities
moving in as direct a line and with as
little delay as practicable to the con-
sumer.
Potatoes. the most important winter
vegetable, boarded in freight cars for
carefully forced rising market and freight
cars congested on railroad sidings argue
that commercialism is overriding pa
triotism and even wartime common sense

have had perforce to yield to Hoover. Po-
tatoes must succumb, and will do so now
that the food commission has taken active
note of the situation here and elsewhere.

WAR NEWS AT THE FRONT

Trench gossip is a fearsome and un-
canny thing" says Ian Hay CMajor Beith)
in "All In It," the continuation of THE
First Hundred Thousand" 1T usually
begins life at the reilling point where the
A. S. g. motorlorries dump down next days
rations and the regimental transport picks
1t up.
IAN A. S. G. sergeant mentions casually
to regimental auartermaster that he has
heard II said at the supply depot that heavy
firing has been going on in the Channel.
The quartermaster on returning to the
transport lines observes to his quartermas-
ter sergeant that the German fleet has
come out at last. The quartermaster SER
geant, when he meets the ration parties be-
hind the lines that night, announces to a
platoon sergeant that we have won a great
naval victory. The platoon sergeant, who
is suffering from trench feet and is a con-
stant reader of a certain pessimistic half
penny journal, replies gloomily:
"'Well have heavy losses ourselves, too.
7 dootv This observation Is overheard by
various members of the ration party. BY
midnight several hundred yards Of the
firing line know for a fact that there has
been a naval disaster of the first magni-
tude of the coast of place which every
one calls Gally Polly and that the whole OF
our division is TO be transferred forthwith

FOOD VALUE OF CANDIES

TO the Editor Of the Evening Ledger:
Sir-Much has been printed regarding the
great quantities of sugar used in the
making Of confectionery Little or no con-
sideration has been given the actual return
in terms of caloric food value.
In the case of chocolate goods, more
nutrment is to be derived from a pound of
chocolate than from a like amount of al
most any other food. In accordance with
the regulation of the Federal food author
tiles, manufacturers using only so per
cent of the usual amount of sugar. and in
many cases considerably less.
II must be borne in mind that to a great
extent the manufacturing confectioners
have been a great encouragement to sugar
growers and producers during the last ten
or twenty years. When 1t is considered that
but one pound of sugar is used in the
manufacture of four pounds of nourshing
food chocolate, some idea of the importance
of sufficient sugar supply is obtained.
II sugar is withdrawn In too great guam
titles, 1t will be impossible to utilize the
vast crops of cocoa beans. almonds and
other nuts. SO plentiful at the present time.
This would represent a loss of nutritious
foods, difficult to offset by any substitute.

FIRE AT CLINTON
TEACHES LESSON
Building Regulations Should Be
Revised Comment on
Current Topics
To the Editor Of the Euening Lcdgcr:

To the Editor Of the EUening Ledger:
Sir-It usually takes a spectacular event
such as the fire i'm the Clinton apartment
ton to an evil tendency.
In Philadelphia there is a tendency to
follow the bad example of New York and the
cities of continental Europe in building null
tiple buildings. And this tendency is mani
fest at a time syhen New York and the
European cities. having had full experience
with multiple dwellings, are seeking,
through the coming and other regulations, to
check their increase. Admittedly there is
a demand for n number OF multiple dwell
ings. even in IL city of homes, to shelter
those who have no intention of staying here
ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS couples or families
whose real home is elsewhere and who use
a city apartment only for the winter months
while their children are away at school.
But even for them there should be at least
light and air and protection against fire.
Our present standards do not assure these.
We are accustomed to think of upper
Manhattan and its lower East Side as solid
masses of high barrack tenement and apart
ment houses. Yet New York requires more
space about its multiple dwellings. larger
yards and courts than does Philadelphia.
Our salvation so far has been that we have
only few scattered apartment houses, each
overlooking single-family dwellings. from
whose lots they borrow light and air Yet
New York was so dissatisfied with its stand
ards that 1t has adopted. with the approval
or the realty interests. a coming ordinance
that imposes much higher standards in
areas not yet overcrowded, in order to pre-
vent an extension of present conditions.
BY the time New York began effective
regulation of its multiple dwellings it's
streets were lined with sx-story nonfire-
proof structures. These 1t had to accent as
its starting point But It did the best Il
could by requiring that tenement or apart
ment houses exceeding SIX stories must be
or freproof construction. Chicago, grap-
pling with the problem earlier in its deveI-
opment, set three stories as the nonflre-
proof limit. Other cities. like Minneapolis
are following Chicago's example. PhiIadel-
phia would do itself service by adopting
the same standard.
incidentally. we should consider cost OF
maintenance. ] will mention only one item.
AS all who have studied housing know n
change from single-family houses to muI
tiple dwellings makes necessary a great in
crease Of inspection by the city authorities
There are so many more things that must
be required for multiple dwellings, such a.
fre-escapes. And each must be inspected
frequently to make sure 1t is in proper con-
dtion. The door at the foot of the Are.
escape on the Clinton should not have haer
locked. Whether It was or not. such doors
are very likely to be locked unless insnec,ed
II for no other reason than that the tenants
fear marauders. And inspection must he

WORK OF THE Y. M. C. A.

Our men face fearful dangers in France,
long before they get into the trenches. 1.-THE
Battle of Paris has put many soldier

red-blooded men, face to face with the
fiercest temptations and all home responsi-

they have plenty Of amusement for their

the trenches is over they must have whole-
