the communities of Northern New Jersey
have fourished under the present arrange
ment and that until recently they have
considered the Port of New York as an
organic whole. He finds that to grant
their application would, in fact, disturb
all freight schedules to and from the At
lantc Coast and operate TO subject New
York to undue prejudice.
All of this seems not only good digest
of the testimony, but good, sound sense.
The Port of New York is an, entity COM
mercially and industrially which can be
split arbitrarily only with great loss to
both sides of the harbor. What is needed
is not division, but a closer and firmer
union between the two shores. The pro-
posed freight tunnels would help. Ra-
tonal development of the Jersey shore. as
New York's has been, would help. That
is the way of real progress, and undoubt-
edly that way will be followed when this
attempt to divide an indivisible port has
been forgotten.

An Unsplit Port

An important advantage for the City
and State of New York has been won in
that Mr.. La Roe, who heard the testimony
in the application of New Jersey cities to
split the Port of New York, has recon-
mended the dismissal of their plea. These
communities sought to obtain a readjust-
ment of freight rates which would take
them out of the metropolitan zone and give
them the benefit of a differential of three
cents a hundred pounds, reckoned as about
the cost of lghterage from the New Jer-
sey railroad terminals to Manhattan. Such
q reimbursement would have disrupted the
freight schedules of the entire country
and inevitably have operated to the detri-
ment Of this community.
Mr.. La Roe's report, while not conclu-
sive, since arguments on it will be pre-
scented before the Interstate Commerce
Commission, is bound to have much infiu-
ence on the decision. He sustains prac-
tically every contention made in the briefs
of Mr.. Wickersham, who represented this
city in the proceedings, and Mr.. julius
Henry Cohen. who represented the State
of New York, the Chamber of Commerce
and the Merchants Association. He finds
that Northern New Jersey is. historically.
commercially and industrially, part OF
the metropolitan district. lie finds that

Savings from the Garbage

Sir. Among the economies to be practised

would make food for hundreds OF thousands
of swine through the summer.
Every housewife should be obliged to keep
the potato parings in a separate pile, laying
them on top of the other garbage IN the pail
with a paper underneath it, the garbage LOT
swine in the bottom of the pail. The Jani-
tors. on emptying the garbage, should observe
this separation. The city carts shouid nave

when selling pork to the government for army

Tin cans and glass bottles and jars should
also be separated from the waste paper and

shortage makes all these receptacles very

Under the new war legislation the contract
made by the city for garbage disposal could

attacked. Compare this figure for single
month with the figure for three months OF
the French record. and the futility of draw
ing such conclusions as have been drawn
is obvious.
Again. consider that in three months the
French patrols and other armed forces
including merchantmen. had only forty
enc engagements with submarines; that IS
e. say. about the same number as British
vessels had in the first eighteen days, as
the First Lord Of the Admiralty reported
in the House of Commons on February IL
The fact is that the French and British
are working in close cooperation on this
problem. and such comparisons as those
referred to are utterly ridiculous. 1t IS
perfectly well known that in the narrow
waters the submarines have had very little
success of late. or, indeed. since the war
began. thanks largely to the extraordinary
success Of the Dover patrol. Furthermore,
il must be clear 10 the most careless OBJ
server that as long as the command of the
Channel is held by Britain and its allies
the French coast is far more secure from
mine LAYERS than the coast of Britain, and
French shipping, apart from all considera-
ton of relative tonnage, much less subject
than British shipping to submarine attacks.

Getting Farm Labor
City Workers and Children Are Little
Good in the Country
To the Editor of The Tribune.

To the Editor Of The Tribune.
Sir: During the past few months there
have appeared in the daily press countless
ideas on the farm question. There come into
our place of business five different papers
every day; this gives me great range of
peoples views. The most amusing one was
Harriet Stanton Blatch's in your issue of
the 18th She intends to make farm crops
with high school boys and girls in seven or
fourteen days time Again. she suggests
that munition factory workers take off a
week for the same purpose. Then she wants
the women of the land to engage likewise.
The skilled foreign men and women farm
workers congregating in our cities came here
not TO continue in their accustomed paths,
but to live in and enjoy city pleasures,
ETC. The work of seeding, planting, cultiyat-
ing and harvesting farm products can be
accomplished by skilled operators only:
others, doing this for week or two. are just
out for lark II. S. B. talks of something
she is unfamiliar with. Regular city folks
can't take up this work by reason of their
physical and other unftncss, resulting from
the enervating and unnatural life of the
city.
The suggestion of another correspondent.
70 take off their hands the prisoners can't
ured by the Allies and put these men 20
work on our many fertile but abandoned
acres in this and other localities, meets with
rational approval, provided they are kent
under Federal supervision
Experienced farm workers who refuse to
follow up their regular vocation cannot be
compelled to leave the cities and 90 shack 70
the farm; this is a free country High
school boys and girls and city women are
of no value TO perform substantial agricult
ural duties for the length of time required
week or two of such work is nothing
but vacation and "jolly good time unite
beneficial, but it does not solve the problem
of furnishing the immediate much-needed
farm labor quota to keep us and the Euro
peon people from disaster and starvation.
The writer is city man, but has two
branches Of the family on farms and is thus
somewhat qualified to know what he is talk
i'g Of, not for amusement but for cold. hard
facts. P. FREDERICK LoESER.

German Perseverance
Iron The London Morning Post

Iron The London Morning Post
The "Stargarder Zeitung" has received par
ticulars from Tischendorf, in Saxe-Weimar,
Of an incident characteristic OF the prevailing
conditions in many parts of Germany. The
local clergyman in the course of a sermon
exhorted his pensioners to practise the ut
most economy in regard to foodstuifs, as the
supplies of the district verged on exhaus-
ton. In conclusion he quoted the famous
imperial dictum, 1--WE must persevere," urg-
ing the congregation to act accordingly. The
following night burglars broke into the pas
tors harder, removed every vestge of its
contents, including dozen hams and a guam
tity of bacon, etc. and left a placard nailed
10 the door inscribed: 1--WE shall now be able
to persevere."

Red. White and Blue

The L in L. s. means You.
The Red and White and Blue
Represent the way
You will feel some day
Ii you don't see this thing through.
Red is the flush of shame
When you hear men speak your name
Among those who quailed
And those who failed
When the golden summons came.
White is the face OF fear
When the fury OF war draws near,
And you're not at the front
Where they bear the brunt
With jest and brave mans cheer.
Blue are the days OF disaster
Under foreign master.
For you're helping the Hun
II you do not run
To enlist to-day. Run faster.
The L in L. S. means You,
The Red and White and Blue
Represent the way
You will feel some day
If you don't see this thing through.
