THE MAN IN THE MASK.
The Latest Guess as to the Face Be
hind the Velvet.

To THE EDITOR OF THE SuN-Sir: Mr..
Appleton Morgap's interesting letter in
your issue OF July II takes for granted
somewhat Anticipated explanation OF
the Man In the Iron Mask. More re-
cent attempts to identify the mystic
rious prisoner lead TO the belief that.
far from being the brother OF the King,
he was an Italian priest sent from
France to instruct Charles H. Of Eng
land In the Catholic faith. Circum-
stances put him in possession Of some
state secrets Of Anglo French diplomacy
and his imprisonment was meant to
obviate the dangers that would arise
from any indiscreet talking on his part.
Every other hypothesis thus far ad-
yanced has been disproved. How long
this theory will hold the field we can
not know. But the brilliant defence OF
it made by Monsignor Barnes OF OK
ford will be hard TO upset.

The Search for q New Name.

To THE EDITOR OF THE SuS-Sir! The
old discussion has been raised anew
regarding the namelesmess OF these
United States. We share the name
America" with two continents. and the
name United States with the United
States OF Mexico" the United States OF
Brazil" and several others. IL we called
ourselves the United States OF Almer-

national name very similar to our pres
ent one, yet distinct from the name OF
our continent. Amerigo Vespuccrs Chris

It's Lombard form. From this form
we might coin the national name AL

Tho Board OF Estimsts Sees the
Gravity Of the situation.

The Board Of Estimate has taken a
step on the way to the relief Of those
inadequately paid city employees, the
patrolmen and the firemen. 1t Is not
long step, but 1t Is better than stand
ing still. It gives immediate relief to
the men Of the grades most poorly
paid, and 1t offers tacit encourage
ment to the others-the majority, In
fact--of the rank and file to remain
in the Police and Fire departments.
The resolution adopted yesterday,
increasing the salaries Of the men
who have been getting less than 81 500
year, affects only rather small
fraction of the patrolmen and fire.
men. OF the 1884 patrolmen, a few
more than 1000 are going to have In
creases Of pay beginning on August /.
OF the city's 3.715 firemen, only 10
will have this immediate benefit.
More than three quarters Of all the
patrolnfen and four-fifths Of all the
flremen are already $500 men; and
the salaries Of these have not been In
creased, although they are the very
men whose importance to the city has
been evident. They are to a great
extent men beyond the present draft
age; many. II not most. of them have
families and are undergoing the COM
mon struggle with the rising cost of
living. The temptation to leave the
department and engage In business or
trades that pay well has come to
many of them, as their Commission
crs know only too well.
What will be the effect Of yester-
days action on these more than 10, 900
menf We believe they will see, as
THE Sun sees, that the inadequacy Of
their pay has been recognized and
that 1t will be only n matter Of few
months-until the adoption Of the
1919 budget-when they will receive
salary increases that will enable them
to remain in. the departments and at
the same time to live In q manner be-
fitting Americans.
Regret over the postponement of
benefit to the majority Of the deserv.
ing and anxiety lest January seem to
them too far Off do not detract from
The Suns pleasure over the fact
that quick relief has come to the
patrolmen and firemen Of the lower
grades-the men whose salaries, rang
ing from $1,05O to 81, 400, have been
increased, in most cases. by $50 a
year. These men are nearly all Of the
draft age. and a great many Of them
are already in the army. The rise in
their salaries will be a good thing for
them and their dependents. 1t cannot
be said, as 1t could be said Of the
$1,000 men, that the added pay will
keep them in the city's service, for
the draft law does not consider mu-
nicipal requirements; but 1t is GER
tain, with the minimum pay increased
to $1,000, that more men will enter
the departments. The maximum age
Of entrance has been raised to IS
years In the Police Department.
The action of the Board OF Esti-
mate, viewed from the standpoint Of
New York's needs, is important in
that 1t is evidence that the board rec
ognizes the conditions which THE Sun
made plain. If the board will now
proceed to insure the presence in the
budget Of adequate pay for fall the
and fremen 1t will be do
ing its part to preserve the integrity
of two great departments.

Let's. not have a fuss over the pro-
position of the fuel administration
that our city water and electric plant
and the Florida Power Company'sI
plant combine. This is no time for
local fuses. We can discuss the price
of -four, sugar and shoes without
riot, and these have to be paid for the
same as electricity There is nothing
to be wondered at in the fact that the
fuel administration knows of the
Florida Power Company's plant. It
has every hydro-electric plant and
every coal burning plant in the Unit
ed States listed. 1t isn't posted on the
Ocala plant because our plant hasn't
been burning coal. Needn't anybody
fool themselves into the idea that the
people of this town want to sell or
give away or scrap their plant They
are more determined to keep it than
ever, but we don't think they will OBJ
ject to an arrangement that will let
them keep it, save them money and
help the government at the same time.
Also, let's not jump on the Camps.
The proposition didn't come from
them, and they had nothing to do with
it more than telling the government
they had a plant. In this they were
no more criminal than the owners of a
lot of other hydro-electric plants,
most of them bigger. Moreover, If
you are in the noticing business, you
may have noticed that the Camps are
doing their bit when it comes to help
ing in the great war work. They are
pulling right abreast of all the rest
of US, and if one of them sees some
thing he can do to help he generally
trots to it as fast as he can go.
