William Bayard Hale Vouches for
DR.. Muck

To the Editor of The Tribune.
Slm In view of the agitation against
DR.. Muck, of the Boston Symphony Orches
ira, promoted by few patriotic ladies
think it is perhaps due to you to be made
acquainted with the following fact:
1T so happens that in June, 1916, crossing
the Atlantic on the steamship Frederil
yin, at Kirkwall, during the examination
there l exchanged a word or two with q
lady who stood next to me, bearing Swiss
pass, which saw and for a moment had in
my hands. did not know her. A day or
two later, on deck, | learned that the ]adv
was Mrs. Dr.. Muck. She said to me: "Oh.
yes! Certainly; although l am myself
practically an American, | was born in
Vienna but take the citizenship of nv
husband, who is and always has been
citizen Of Switzerland"
never met Dr. Muck until couple of
weeks ago, when after the last Symphony
concert mad an opportunity of speaking
to him. mentioned the circumstance
above narrated DR.. Muck said Gas accu
rately as can remcmber) that although
som" question had been raised about h;s
citizenship, he rad not thought it necessary
to make any public statement, because anv
one interested could easily learn on in
curry that he was and always had been
SWISS citizen. VIM. BAYARD HACE
New York, March 12, 1918.
Karl Muck is considered an enemy
alien by the Department of Justice. He
was born in Bavaria before the latter
territory became a part Of the German
Empire He moved with his father to
Switzerland when he was four years of
age. He claims citizenship in Switzer-
land on the ground of residence there.
However, by the terms of the enemy
alien act, birth in territory now held by
the Central Powers and failure to take
out naturalization papers in the United
States throw Muck into the enemy alien

Indian Names for Ships

(From The Tacoma Lcd0cy)
Oown on Gray's Harbor it is planned to

the Pullman car people were overlooking

western Washington for every ship that

A Lift to Camp, Please

There is big, fine feeling in the plan
to enlist members of the American Auto
mobile Association in the friendly ser
vice of giving relatives of soldiers a
Sunday lift from New York to Camp
Upton. There are many among the kin
OF New York's National Army men
whose purses feel the outlay of S27O
on railroad fare to Yaphanls and back.
Yet no one seems to have thought of
simple solution of the problem until the
wife of man at Upton, writing. no
doubt out OF her own unhappy expert
ence, in letter to The Tribune suu-
gested that the Owners of cars thew do
not use on Sundays put them at the
service of poor people who cannot afford
the fare down to camp"
Her suggestion has taken hold here
Willing hands have grasped it, and the
New Ycrk-to Camp Upton free motor
car service now seems an assured s,c-
cess And the idea is passing on. Jer-
sey City is watching New York. The
president of the Hudson County Auto
mobile Club comes through with the
announcement that if the scheme works
out well here similar service will be
undertaken between Jersey City and
Camp Dix.
The plan should not want for spon-
taneous, hearty support.

Henry the Ford

fist has turned to new and more en-

Junkerism from the world. And he is

it and soon hopes to have 100000 men

he says, "Junkerism faces death. In Eng

We like the new Henry and his new

cousin Lizzie, and trust that it's power
for extirpating Junkersm will be some

Censorial Charades

The American censorship, which
seemed to be almost tragic in it's early
days, is weakening into farce. 1t is less
concerned now in keeping news from the
American people than in pretending that
it is. Thus, we read in recent mail
dispatch from Martin Green, of "The
Evening World" "ths article is printed
for friends and relatives of the soldiers
in regiment in which New York holds
a deep interest" Later we learn that
the regiment is doing we'll in bombing,
and that two of the best bomb tossers
have put the shot and thrown the discus
many Sunday afternoon at Celtic
Park" One Of the picturesque bombers,
we are told, is "a product of Kerry, Ire
land" A particular unit of the regi-
ment, so we gather from another article
by the same writer, is commanded by
Kerry man, and the writer adds His
friends at Clason Point will be pleased
to know that he is well and has grown
stout on army food and exercise" We
are also informed that the regiment is
known in France as the Hiking Irish"
The sporting editor has whispered to us
the names of the two bombers who used
to throw the discus at Celtic Park on
Sunday afternoons, and this gives us the
key to the regiment. We are willing,
however, to join the rest of the four
million in keeping the secret. The only
thing that puzzles us is to ascertain Just
whom the circumlocution is meant to fool.
Perhaps it is not meant to fool anybody.
1t is possible that the censor wishes the
reader to experience the same zest of
discovery which comes to the person who
is able to supply the missing letters of
NV Y-rk" in weekly geographical
puzzle contest.

They Will Fight

An observing American, not deeply
prejudlced in the English favor, return
ing after fifteen months residence in
London, has this judgment:
"lf Italy gave up, if France cracked if
even the United States deserted the cause,
and If all her allies failed her, England
would only withdraw her army to her
own shores, dispose her navy to meet the
new situation, develop her own produc.
ton. and if need be, fight on for forty
years. This is the English spirit and the
daily mood of the English people"
1t is good to hear. Such is the Eng
lish tradition, the spirit of the people of
whom Napoleon is credited with saying:
They always lose all the battles but
the last"
Militarism shall not conquer the
earth.
AS long as England can fight, we can
tight even longer for we not only are of
the same stock and fibre, but we are
younger, richer and more numerous.

Municipal Ownership a la Hylan

1t is a distinctly novel method which
Mayor Hylan advocated before the SEN
ate Cities. Committee for the taking over
OF public service corporations by this
city if a municipal ownership bill were
passed. 1t is so novel, in fact, that it de-
serves the attention alike of advocates
and opponents Of municipal ownership.
Novel, yet admirably simple-so simple
that it is surprising nobody has ventured
to put it forward before now.
This plan, in brief, is, first, to pick out
nice fat corporation with a large sur
plus and good annual profits. Somehow
the municipality is to find the money to
acquire this-not precisely an easy task
for New York City in its present fnan-
cial condition. Having taken over the
corporation in question--say the gas
company-the city is to apply it's surplus
and annual profits to the acquisition of
other profitable corporations, using their
profits, In turn, to take over still other
corporations, until only the improbable
ones are left. These apparently Mayor
Hylan would leave to their unfortunate
private owners
Just where, or when, the benefits of
the operation of this scheme would ac-
crue to the puolic It's author failed to
point out. Surely not in reduction of
rates, for profits are necessary to the full
filmcnt OF the scheme The public. there
fore, could not expect sixty-cent gas or
three-cent subway fares-at least, not in
this generation. And the contention ia
not advanced eyer by rabid advocates of
municipal ownership that an increased
efficiency Of operation of public utilities
is TO be looked for under public control
10 the users Of gas, electricity, the tele-
phones and street railways need hope for
no particular benefit in that respect. Nor
is the advantage To BIZ gained from build
ing up Improbable Corporations giving,
presumably, bad service 10 their clients,
into good condition TO be counted on, for
the Mayors plan does not include TAX
ing over the Improbable concerns. 50
the public would be no better off there.
One point appears clear. Those who
nGw get the annual profits in the form

Wanted-A Genius for Our Schools

The public school system of New York
is by far the greatest in the world.
The total of expenditures now reaches
near to fifty millions The number of
teachers exceeds 10000. Thye are
more than 500 elementary schools. There
are twentyfour high schools, three train
ing schools for teachers, four vocational
schools.
The total attendance is not far from
100000.
With such expenditure, with an un-
rlvalled opportunity for experiment, the
try-out of new ideas and systems, the
public schools of New York ought to be
not merely the largest but the greatest.
They possess no such distinction They
are simply an excellent type of the aver
age public school of America.
The average American public school
is out of touch with the varied and ex-
acting demands OF the present day. The
educational world is astir with new ideas,
new methods, new ideals
Within twenty years there has come a
deeper insight into the mainsprings of
human action, an illuminating psychology.
closer understanding of the nature of
the child. Out of this a finer pedagogy
must come, is now coming.
And life, the life Of the masses, is year
by year growing more varied, more
technical, more adapted to special needs.
Our schools must broaden and specialize
IN the same way.
The schools Of New York were, are. of
the traditional type, with, so to speak.
10 per cent fringe of modernity. And
traditional education has had its day.
1t would be profoundly gratifying if
the board could find a man in touch with
this new spirit, and not of the routine
or machine type. It would be great
pity If the distraction of the war should
divert public attention from the i'm
portance Of selecting as the next head of
our public school system man of the
highest qualifications and the widest
view. AS the Citizens Conference Com
mittee says: "New York is entitled to
the best there is in educational leader
ship. 1t will be a calamity if the emer-
gency is met in narrow or provincial
spirit"
When in 1904 the London County
Council had need to fill a vacancy, it's
committee searched the United Kingdom
for the man whose attanments and
whose record seemed to mark him pre-
cminently fer the work 1t found such
man in Robert, now Sir Robert, Blair.
We deeply hope that the New York
School Board will approach the selection
Of DR.. Maxwell's successor in the same
spirit and with the same purpose. The
one question is: Who is the ablest and
best qualified man, not in New Ycrl;
City nor in New York State, but in the
United States, or, if need be, in North
America, for this position?
We have in mind no especial candi-
date. The ablest and most qualified man
may be found right here in New York City.
But 1T would be very great pity if the
board, as Mayor Hylan seems to suggest.
should regard the selection as a kind Of
local matter, a home affair, as it were. q
position to be farmed out to some fairlv
available or respectfully mediocre can.
didatc.
The people Of New York would like to
feel that our School Board had searched
far; had weighed the qualifications Of
men from all over the country; had in
vIted and considered nominations from
the foremost educators Of the country
New-York tribune., 1918-03-14

and should finally choose the executive
who, in their judgment, would do most
to vivify, broaden and develop our public
school system to meet the varied and
exigent demands of our cosmopolitan
population.

COAL MINERS WARNED
TO REMAIN At WORK
Wage Demands Otherwise Will Not
Be Considered, Fuel Administra-
tor Garfield Says.

Warning has been given to the
striking miners in the Shamokin
coal fields by United States Fuel Ad-
ministrator Garfield that they will be
held strictly responsible" for any
falling of in coal production. He
also has notified their officers that he
will not consider their demands until
they return to their work.
The inference drawn from DR.. Gar
fields warning to the strikers is that
measures would be used similar to
those applied by President Wilson
several days ago to the striking
machinists in Bridgeport, Conn.
DR.. Garfield received a telegram
late yesterday afternoon from James
Matthews, district president of the
United Mine Workers for District g.
sent from Shenandoah. Pa, which
read:
MANY of the mines are closed in
this district today. Men claim they
won't work until increases in wages
are granted, despite the fact that
am doing my very best to convince
them to remain at work pending a
settlement Of the matter"
