for the Red TRIANGLE Huts,

New York city Is called on to fur
nlsh 1000 men this week for pecu-
liarly difficult and exactlng service
with the army in France. They must
be men Of high character. of tact,
absolutely dependable, and possess
the great and rare gift Of friendli-
ness unweakened by any strain Of
mushy sentimentality. Such men are
not easy to find, but they can be
found, and they must be found.
These men are to 60 to the triangle
huts established and maintained by
the Young Mems Christian Associn-
ton wherever American troops are
sent. Some Of these huts are In great
cities in France, in England, in Italy.
Some of them are In remote and lone
ly settlements. Wherever they are,
they are erected to serve the needs
Of American soldiers and sailors {;
physical, mental. social and spiritual
needs. The spiritual needs must be
served rather through example than
precept, by deeds instead Of words.
Emphasis is not laid on the religion
of utterance as much as 1t Is laid
on the religion Of action. The soul
of each soldier Is In his own COM
petent keeping; If he Is troubled by
doubts, he will make them known to
man in whom he has confidence.
II he is not troubled by doubts, all
Is likely to be we'll with him. So the
Young Mems Christian Association
lays stress on the physical necessi-
ties, of the soldiers now, not on their
religious or moral requirements.
What the red triangle huts want
may be judged from the class Of men
to which 1t appeals for recruits:
Men who have succeeded in organic
ing and managing other men-such as
department chiefs. sales managers, Of
nee managers; men who are successful
In running departments in department
stores, grocery stores. cigar stores, no.
ton stores. and men who are successful
as statesmen in such stores: men who
can box and teach others to box who
can wrestle, and are good amateur
athletes; men who can play baseball.
basketball. football. both professional
and amateur: men who can write let
tiers, such as good business correspond
ents and personal correspondents; men
who can play on musical instruments.
such as the piano. the guitar and the
banjo, violin, &C.. and who can sing
and lead others In singing"
And all Of them must be above the
draft age, able bodied. with able
brains. The order is large one, but
New York can fill It, because New
York must fill 1t.

THE NEW ELECTRIC LAMP
CONTRACTS.
A Customer who Feels He Has Been
Unfairly Treated.

Unfairly Tfeateu.
To THE EprroR OF THE SuN-6ir: It
was . rather shabby trick that one OF
the two most important electric light
companies in the city played on Its
customers recently when in announcing
tho discontinuancc Of Its lamp service
contract II mailed the following notice
70 each Of its customers:
The company desires to announce that
on and after July 1, 1918, the supplying
Of inosndesosnt lamps under the present
lamp service" contract, which includes
the furnishing Of the FIRST installation
and subsequent renewals Of lamps Of nifty
watts and larger at . charge OF one-half
cent per kiiowatt hour. will be discontinued.
No charge will be made to present lamp
service customers for the use subsequent
to July 1, 1918, Of the compsnys lamps
supplied to such customers under the pres
snt lamp service contract.
II the notice announcing the discon-
tinuance of the lamp service" contract
had been mailed about two weeks be-
fore the date SGT for the discontinuance
II would have been perfectly fair to the
customers. Then they would have had
ample time to avail themselves of the
contract by which they were entitled
to . supply of lamps without having
to buy them outright. But instead Of
adopting this policy the company timed
the mailing OF its notices SO that they
reached the customers on July /. This
prevented the companys customers
from avsiling themselves of the oppor-
tunity Of procuring lights under the
lamp service" contractA The writer
received his notice at 8 p. NJ on July I.
It was mailed late on Saturday after
noon. June 20.
Another thing that makes 1t appear
that the late mailing was a deliberate
act on the part Of the company is that
about six weeks ago the writer. wishing
to avail himself of his lamp service"
contract, ordered new lamps through an
agent who called at his residence. They
were never delivered and the company
now refuses to make delivery.

4 Miracle OF M airline Transp ortstion.

In our qualification over the ire
mendous success which has attended
the operation of the transport service
In landing more than million men
in France with the loss from misad-
venture at sea of fewer than 300. the
fact should not be overlooked that
the record thus established would be
astonishing even were the perils OF
wAr eliminated from consideration.
Under the circumstances now exist.
ing we naturally think Of the danger
Of the U-boat. The common hazards
of the sea are lost to sight because Of
the abnormal menace that must be
met and mastered. Yet the task OF
transporting a million men through
tempests and storms over the Allan
tic is one that with every political
and war time factor eliminated would,
in the natural course Of events, in
volve the loss Of not n few lives.
The steamship service between this
country and Europe in peace time
has been compared to a glorihed
ferry, but all mans ingenuity and
skill had not taken from 1t every ele-
ment Of risk. Accidents to machin-
cry, engine failure, collisions and the
difficulties Of navigation were IL not
common certainly not uncommon be-
fore the war. The list Of modern
vessels lost at sea. even since the
wireless made succor to those in dis
tress much easier than it was, Is
long; the number Of lives sacrificed
runs high.
When these facts are considered,
the credit that Is due to the navy Is
greatly increased, and the debt the
country owes to the commanders Of
the transports is made manifest.
Nothing except the highest profess
sional and technical skill, unremittlng
attention to the minute details Of
feet control and ship management,
could have protected the vessels In
which our men have crossed from
the normal hazards of the deep and
the attacks Of enemy submarines.
To the heavy responsibility that rests
OH the captain of liner sailing alone
has been added, for the transport
commanders, the necessity for OBJ
serving strictly the rigid orders Of the
commander in chief. The shippers
have been obliged TO obey new and
1rksome regulations, to maintain
speeds fixed for them by others, and
to adjust themselves to the require
ments Of n great machine. They have
done these things and other things,
with marvellous success, and the ac-
complishment of their duty must not
pass unnoted.
The naval protection Of the trans
port service can never be overpraised.
The various units that have cooper
ated in this tremendous work have re-
vealed an adaptability and capacity
for cooperation that was scarcely sus-
pected even in sailor men, the most
adaptable and resourceful Of human
beings. The chances Of mlsunder-
standing have been many, the posi-
bility OF mislnterpretln2 orders ever
present. Disaster has been avoided
because the men on whom RESPONSE
bility lies have been constantly alert,
courageous, and quick in the dis
charge of their tasks.

Major MTTcHEL's death will revive
discussion of the unestabllshed cause
Of so many fatal falls in American
training camps. THE SUN recently took
note OF the plausible theory OF one
physician who expressed his belief that
the airmen were suddenly overcome
with illness. He declared that an all
ment which may appear Negligible on
the ground Is likely to be frightfuily
exaggerated In the upper air. A slight
indigestion will become nausea: an or
binary cold will become a paroxysm
OF coughing. 1t has been suggested
that Major mitchell was suddenly
seized with one Of the headaches
which frequently Frustrated him while
he was Mayor. These attacks were
almost unbearable, and If height in
creased the pain it is reasonable to
believe that Major mitchell, If taken
i'll while flying, may have become I'M
conscious.
