Institute for Crippled Soldiers

THROUGH the gift of jeremiah Milbank
of New York City, of 100000 for that
purpose the American Red Cross will estab-
fish an institute for crippled soldiers and
sailors. The institute will be located in
New York City. and courses in trades and
manual training will ke provided to fit these
men to be self-supporting after they return
from the war.
The purpose of such an institution Is
soundly conceived in business policy as well
as in national duty to those who render
faithful service for their country and sustain
injuries that place them at a disadvantage
in the struggle for existence. The expert
ence Of our allies in the establishment OF
similar institutions for their manned soldiers
abundantly proves their worth. Aside from
the satisfaction to the cripples of being above
dependence, they will be relieved OF the
tiresomeness Of unoccupied existence SO de-
pressing to courageous souls.
The philanthropy of Mr.. Milbank is both
timely and thoughtful, and no doubt other
philosophical citizens of wealth will be in
spired by his example to make gifts to an
endowment fund liberal enough to proyide
for its maintenance on scale equal to
every demand.

Again We Salute the Peanut

A Great American Air Fleet

r ERMANY'S repeated air raids upon Eng
" land should quicken our energies in be-
half of a great American air fleet. Such a
feet is perhaps the greatest single contribu-
ton we may make to the success of the war.
Our food is necessary to the allies. Our
navy is now an important factor, just as our
armies in the trenches will be u tremendous
reinforcement of the men who are driving
the enemy step by step from conquered soil.
But it is not necessary to be a military
expert to realize the effect Of an American
air corps of 10000 or $4,000 machines
capable of carrying the war straight to it's
source. The damage which such a corps
might inlict not only upon the lines of enemy
but upon the munition plants of Germany, is
almost incalculable

HAS been from time to time based upon this
Speculative price Of wheat. A like showing

most all other foodstuffs could be made.
Action, speedy and drastic. is imperatively

The Grundy Ordinance

T'HC 5-cent-fare ordinance now before the
Street Committee does three things: 1t
increases the cost of living, especially to
workingmen and school children, who are
least able to bear the burden: it increases the
gross income of the Virginia Railway and
Power Company, and 1t increases to some OK
tent the income of the city of Richmond. If
the city needs moro revenue, 1t should come
into the open and either effect some real
economies or increase it's tax rate. II the
car company cannot operate profitably at the
present scale Of charges, it should be able to
demonstrate that fact to an unbiased tribunal
1t is curious form of economics that pro-
poses to tax education and divide the pro-
ceeds between the trolley company and the
city treasury
When the committee meets Tuesday night
it should reject the Grundy ordinance without
further ado. Then, at the proper time and
in the proper way, the Council can take up
as separate issue the petition of the power
company to charge such fares as will earn a
reasonable return on the fairly invested CAPT.
tai, bearing in mind such compensation as
the company will make in The way of in
creased service both In the rush hours and
in the newer sections of the city. 1t can
also take up as separate issue the ways
and means of raising revenue. not for multi
plcation of jobs, but for improvements the
city needs.
car company cannot proftably haul passen-
gers at the prevailing rates. 1t does not be-
come the City Council to originate ordinances
increasing the charge on the travelling public.
Nor should that portion of the community
which rides in street cars be taxed to provide
increased municipal revenue which, if 1t be
needed at all, the whole city should supply.

Roses fairer.

Their famed Olympian height;
From the grasses. peeping posies-
Eyes of morning Earth adorning-
And I've flowers that close their petals, whom
They go to sleep at night!
Sweet my Earden--sweet the toiling
That attends 1t and defends 1t;
But the weeds, the murderous woods come, weeds
That choke my garden fair!
Then let summers be broiling.
Twill not stay dismay me,
For the weeds arc In my garden and
My roses languish there!
'Tis garden of my fancy
Planted not in yard pot In

Hopes and dreaming, visions cleaning
And there must be no weeds growing in

Too Brave

THE fault Of the American soldiers. a
French drillmastcr tells the New York
Times is bravery There is no better ma
terial than these men, but they need a deal
or training, and the hardest thing to teach
them Is not to be too brave. They must
learn first to hide, the first essential in this
war. Bravery and human flesh are not good
against machine guns barrage fire. The
American soldiers will want to go right at
the enemy just as the English did But the
English have learned to strike without risk
Ing themselves too much. The business of
fghting Is stealth. And it is to this sort
OF war that German science has reduced the
world.

Books and Authors

"I. Mary MacLane" (stokes). may

fishers grant the request for permission
to translate 1t. which they have recent
ly received. The request came from a
Russian who is thoroughly familiar
with the spirit of his country's litera-
ture. and who believes that this re-
markable book OF self-revelation by an
American woman will find a warm un-
Outstanding and sympathy In his native
land. Miss MacIanes first book. The
Story OF Mary MacLane," published in
1902. won prompt recognition In Rus

the work OF the famous Russian, Marie

It Is nearly a generation ago that
THE Odd Number introduced to many
American readers the short stories of
De Maupassant. This little volume OF
tales, with its admirable introduction
by Henry James. has remained treas
ured classic in the field Of translated
masterpieces. II fault were to be
found with so admirable book, 1t
would be on the ground that Do
Maupassant's work is too varied In
theme and tone and treatment to per-
NIT of adequate representation Of his
many sided genius within the compass
Their selection from his stories has
therefore been made, ''The Second Odd
Number" and Issued as companion
volume to its notable predecessor by
the Harpers. While many of the
stories are not 30 wel1-known as 1.-THE
Necklace" IA Piece Of String" they
have the advantage OF presenting to
the reader examples OF the authors
skill as a story teller in handling novel
themes along unusual lines. The droll,
the pathetic, the grotesque, the cav
alier, the snrdonic, are all strikingly
illustrated In 1.-The Second Odd Num-
ber." The translations have been
made by Charles Henry White and Vir-
ginia Watson. William Dean Howells
furnishes an arpreciative introduction.
