Leading Americans

The Washlngton Times, which Arthur
Brisbane edits when he is not editing
the Hearst Chicago paper, is in the quest
of 1.-The leading American. We read:
ITO pick the leading American citizen
would mean the consideration of long
list Of names and a wide range of accom-
plshmcnts.
These are some Of the names that
come promptly to mind:
General Pershing, Gen. G. W. Goetha)x.
Il x-P re s d e n t Dr.. Simon Flexner
Roosevelt, Josephus Daniels,
OK President Taft Newton D. Baker
Henry Ford, Chief Justice White
"Thomas Edison, Emile Berliner.
civilian G.. McAdoo Frank A. Vanderlip.
John u. Rockefeller Cardinal Gibbons,
DR.. {. II. Mayo, Bernard Baruch,
John Burroughs, Luther Burbank.
"Charles NJ. Schwab, Edward n. Hurley,
Louis D. Brandeis, Admiral William $.
Sims.
"A Washington youngster was asked
the other day who he thought was the
greatest man in American history. We'll,
he said, Il suppose George Washington,
hut I'd a good deal rather be Douglas
Fairbanks
Maybe you Will think Of men whom
you consider worthier the title Of lead
ing American citizen than any named
above. Certainly you will think of others
entitled to be named with them"
To be sure there are others worthy Of
consideration for the title of "leading
American citizen" Some of them must
doubtless have occurred to Mr.. Bris-
bane. Perhaps it was a certain profes-
sional delicacy that caused him to omit
these conspicuously missing candidates:
William Randolph Hearst, who had
himself celebrated last Fourth of July as
the greatest publisher the world had ever
known.
William Bayard Hale, who was hired
by him to promote German-American
understanding
George Sylvester Viereck, who first
nominated him for Governor of New
York State
John +. Hylan, his greatest admirer.
Edward A. Rumely, his bette noir.
New-York tribune. [volume] (New York [N.Y.]) 1866-1924, 1918-08-25

The newsdealers marked for discipline
by the city are referred to by Mayor
Hylan as those not selling ''the daily
papers"
There are sixtyfour daily papers
published in this city. Does Mayor
Hylan mean all Of them?
The offending newsdealers are re-
ferred to by the Commissioner of Lii
censes as those who are mot serving the
public as was contemplated when
license was issued by the city"
But there are no stipulations in the
license as to which of the sixty-four
daily papers newsdealer shall SELL nor
as to whether he shall sell all of Them
nor as to the price at which he shall
buy any of them.
Acting Park Commissioner Muldoon
says "the Mayor has ordered the revoca-
ton of the permits of dealers refusing
to accept newspapers for sale"
Does he mean that newsdealer must
sale, up to all of the sixty-four daily
papers published in this city?
The evasion is palpable.
In all the greater city there is not one
newsdealer who ever handled all of the
sixty-four daily papers. 1t is prepos
ferrous to think that any one should
What the Hylan administration means,
but what it hasn't the courage to say, is
that the newsdealers must handle the
Hearst papers and all the papers that
support Hearst, and must handle them at
the price Of S1.40 per hundred-or lose
their licenses
This we call oppression. The city au-
thorities we'll know it to be SUCH and
hesitate to go through with it. Threats
to revoke licenses have been addressed
to newsdealers in general, so that no
individual has grievance in law on
which to proceed against the city When
it is pretended that license is to be can
celled an unknown man appears, writes
the word reuoked across the back of the
paper, without signing it, and goes away.
What dignifed performance for the
city to be engaged in,
1t evades legal responsibility for mis-
using its power to coerce and Cypress
the newsdealers and expose itself to
ridlcule. 1t is afraid to say what it
really means. It will not define it's own
position
When the notice first was circulated
that permits Of anti-nearst newsdealers
would DE revoked on the pretext that
they were not SELLING the papers" we
sent reporter to ask Mayor Hylan
three questions. He sent back word that
he wished them reduced to writing. We
wrote them out and sent them back IN
nm IN that form, and as they are still
unanswered we now ask them publicly.
The questions are:
% Does the city administration take
the position that the ncwsdealers. in
order TO serve the public as was con
templatcd when the license was granted
by the city" must sell all papers?
20 II so, are the newsdeacrs OBLIGED
TO resume the sale Of the German lam
guage papers which they have banished
from their stands?
l3) Have they any less right to refuse
TO sell the Hearst papers than they have
70 refuse to sell German language
papers?
Meanwhile, the monopoly called the
American News Company, which con
trols the distribution Of all morning
papers, and the Publishers Association,
which is supporting Hearst, have under

praise and thanksgiving to Almighty
God for His many blessings and

we have special and moving causes to
be grateful and to rejoice. God has in
His good pleasure given us peace

Of arms, a mere relief from the strain
and tragedy Of war. 1t has come as
great triumph of right. Complete

alone, but the confident promise Of a
rev day as well, in which justice shall
, replace force and jealous intrigue
among the nations. Our gallant
armies have participated in triumph
which is not marrcd or stained by any
purpose Of selfish aggression. In a

mortal glory and have nobly served
their nation in serving mankind. God
has indeed been gracious. We have
cause for such rejoicing as rcvives

REPORTS INDICATE
CHAOS IN GERMANY
Confusion Over Powers to Be Given
Government Committees
NEW SET CAUSES TROUBLE

Amsterdam, Saturday, Nov. 49,
Berlin newspapers and dispatches
reaching here indicate that there is
great confusion in Germany over the
powers to be given the various coun-
cils, committees and officials.
The dispatches indicate that there
IS chaos in government affairs owing
to the formation by the Spartacus
group of new political party, which
has reduced the strength of the In
dependent Socialists. How strong this
new party will be is not known.
The so-called executive council of
the wOrkmen's and soldiers council
has followed the Berlin garrison's de-
inand for the formation of civilian
red guard. There is reason to believe
fact that Capt. Won Bccrfeld was
forced to leave it because he was con-
| sidered too radical, is still more So
| cialistic and radical than the larger
council, from which it has it's commits
sion.
That the bulk Of the soldiers them
selves refuse to countenance Boil
shcvik methods again has been demon
strated at a meeting in the Reichstae
Of delegates of the all soldiers coun-
ellis in Berlin and delegates of similar
councils elsewhere. The Berlin sol,
| diers are united firmly against DR.
Karl Liebknecht. They declared he
had been thrown out OF the barracks
owing to his repeated efforts to dc
liver incitive speeches.
Premier Ebert in addressing the
meeting declared that vast majority
of the people supported the govern.
nent. The government had nothing
to fear from the troops at the front
| but that many men from rear posi-.
tions who are hurrying home are
causing disorder in Baden and Wurt.

The premier added that the United
States would help feed the Germans
but that order must be maintained.

Sidehghts From the

WASHINGTON. May 27.-Air-
planes are now making two daily
round trips between Washington
and New York carrying letter mail.
The postage on airplane letters is
"a cents per ounce and the patronag
is frequently in excess of carrying
capacity. Planes leave New York
and Washington each morning
which gives each city and Philadel-
phia daily air mail one day the
fog was so dense the airplanes could
not keep their course and the mail
trains had TO help out.
Last Sunday Mai. Griffin turned
S.1O0 carrier pigeons loose AT the
Washington Union station grounds
and they. one and an. made a dash
for the east where they arrived at
their home lofts i'm New York and
New Jersey in four hours and 10
minutes-nearly two hours faster
than the fastesr railroad trains make

COAL SITUATION
AGAIN SERIOUS
Local Administrator Issues
Warning to Consumers.
Big Shortage.

William +. Miller, local fuel adj
ministrator. who last season adjusted
the coal situation TO the satisfaction
Of everybody concerned, issued the
following statement TO The News
Times Monday morning:
While I do not care TO be an
alarmist, the soft coal situation
looks more serious this morning than
it has at any time Owing to the
lack Of cars and the draft, soft coal
is falling behind the production
schedule at the rate of 100000 tons
per month, and il is predicted that
be behind from 10000. 900 to $4,000,
600 tons per month.
1T is also stated that anthracite
figures are as discOuraging and, un-
less there is something done, we
will face a coal famine this winter
that will be far worse than the one
last winter.
ITO those who burn soft coal, my
advice is TO get your coal as quickly
as possible as dealers cannot stock
enough TO carry the town through
the Winter. luOot "np Id z
burned soft and Pocahontas coal in
their furnaces, there is absolutely no
chance TO get any hard coal as a
burner of Poca hontas coal is classed
as a burner of soft coal and no one
who has burned soft coal will be al
lowed in the anthracite class. This
applies also TO stoves No hard coal
can be sold for use in other than
base burners.
ITO those who can change their
furnaces and chimneys so as to burn
soft coal. my advice is to do it at
once
Early in the season the L. S. fuel
administrator issued an order that
the anthrac cite producing states were
TO have their supply first, then the
eastern states, and, if there was any
left, it was to go to the states east
Of the Mississippi river. which in
cludes this territory. The report in
effect today is that the eastern states
are going TO be taken care OF.
With the production of anthra-
cite not up 10 normal. it is easy to
figure that this territory will not get
enough hard coal to take care Of the
demand. OF course there may be
changes made to increase the output,
but that has been a promise for
some time and instead OF the condi-
tions getting better they gradually
grow worse"
