Marshal Jofre Says
Soldiers Need Play Spell

New York, June IS. - Marshal
Joffre, of France, who was recently
in Anperica, says a soldier must play
as well as fight or he is not a good
soldier. just as civilians must rest
and play to be most efficient in
their work. Nor Is the doctrine aD-
piled merely to the bomb throwers
and trench defenders. but it is put
self, and by the Frencn army chiefs
all down the line.
Marshal Joffre believes the green
hedged banks and the shady shores
of the rivers of France afford {.
cure for all ills. and since he has
seen America he is sure that the
placid streams and lakes of the
United States hold a healing power
to the value of which Americans
will some day awake. The hero
OF the Marne is, in fact, what
Yankees would call a "motorboat
bug"

Civil Service Reform.

Greater New York DOES not enthusc
over the appointment of Mr.. Patton to
the postmastership. Tammany, which
did not present his name-did not pre-
sent any name-is extremely moderate
in its qualification, while the rest of the
community is either indifferent or out
fpokenly hostile.
The New York Evening Post, reluc-
tant always to deny Mr.. Wilson support
says:
"The President has missed the oppor-
tunity to give the city and the country
great object lesson IN the toning UP
Of the public service"
True. The opportunity was exeep.
tional. From a civil service point OF
view, the reappointment of Mr. Morgan
would have "toned up" the merit system
considerably. Under that system he
had every claim lpon consideration

respecting that place. Those who had
the Presidents ear insisted on an ap
pointment on partisan lines, and he
yielded. He tried to az before election

Tammany man he then picked out would

appear as unable to make returns for a
favor received.
In political circles the appointment
is construed as meaning two things. U
The President wants the support of
Tammany in the next House for his pro-
gram. and (2) the election of straight
out democrat next November for MAYOR.
If the democrats, either with or with
out the aid Of the independents, organ
ize the next House Tammany will have
to be rcckoned with in all matters the
administration may try to push in that
body. 1t will have votes that will be
necessary, and they will be well led.
Hence the removal indicated by the Pat
ten appointment of Tammany from the
black list # Tammany will be good
now. so will the administration.
The mayoralty question will come
later If the President and Tammany
can hit it off well together-say at an
extra session of Congress if one is held
on lines of national moment. they will
probably be drawn together on lines of
local moment and bv nominating either
MIR ratten or Mr.. Gerard for mayor,
Tammany would make a strong bid for
'he Presidents assistance at the polls.

The Reinstatement Evil.

1t will be Unfair to the railroads to
lay Ipon them an undue share of the
blame for the congestion of food freights
in the present crisis in the markets. If
the whole process could be barred for
public understanding it would doubtless
be found that the speculative wholesale
dealers are accountable for most of the
fluctuations which impose heavy toll
upon the coJsAmers. A favorite prac-
tice of wholesalers is that of the ere
consignment" of cars, whereby goods are
kept in transit for undue periods in Or
der to affect the markets. By means of
these reconsignments, which cost the
shippers little in comparison with the
profits to be made, cars and trains are
shunted about in search of the highest
markets and kept from points where
their arrival will break prices. The rail
roads, under the present conditions, are
unable to cope with this. If orders are
received while goods are in transit to
SWITCH Gals lioiu thoit oiiHAhdi ueotiHd-
tions elsewhere they must be obeyed
The mischief is that there is no penalty
for speculative reconsignments. In the
case of non-perishable goods or refriger-
ated supplies, which are practically non
perishable, they can be kept moving
about at the will of the original shippers
for long periods. As far as the public
is concerned it is the came as though
the goods were in storage On the books

The Municipal Hospital.

1t will be calamitous if the District
appropriation bill is permitted to pass
at this session without making definite
provision for the projected municipal
hospital, over the location of which
controversy has ragged for some time
This institution is urgently needed. The
present municipal hospital is a miser-
able makeshift, in no respect up to re-
quirements, and constantly the subject
of bitter complaints. The District can
well afford and should be promptly given
a hospital for the care of the sick. On
this general point there is agreement
on all sides, but on the question of site
there has been n discussion which at
times has become raroorous, rs neigh
borhood interests have been involved.
Now the Senate has added to the Dis
trict bill proyision for beginning the
work on the municipal hospital. nam
ing rs the site reservation - on the
banks of the Eastern branch. The
House confcrccs object to this emplace
ment and the House has confirmed their
position, thus raising the possibility of
continued disagreement even to the
point of deadlock, in consequence of
which the whole item may be thrcwn
out of the bill. The legislative situa ion
is such that this is easily possible, in
asmuch as the House Vill originally made
no provision whatever for the hospital
and thus the item is now in the bill
only as a Senate amendment. Thus the
issue stands practically as one of pro
vision for the hospital or no provision,
irrespective of site In this situation it
is imperative that an agreement had
at this session upon the question of site.
which eventually must be worked out
and which might as weH be settled now.
The subject is familiar to all those now
engaged in the handling of the bill, and
nothing will be gained by postponemcnt.
Will, much will be lost through further
sacrifice of the public interests.
