phases OF the case?
No reference was made in regard to

separate tables.
Furthermore, 1t was distinctly brought
out at the trial that the presence OF

stances could anything but a most re-

LOOting Freight Cars.

Director-General McADoo has given
his promise to shippers that here
after thefts Of goods from freight
cars will not be treated as u joke
The thieves are to be pursued, prose-
cuted and punished; their cases will
go to the Federal courts and their
terms of Imprisonment will be served
in Federal jails.
The evil Mr.. McADoo now attacks
is serious, of ancient standing ana
notorious. 1t came startlingly to
public attention last winter, when a
practical embargo was laid on ship
ments Of silk from the Pacific to the
Atlantic because the railroads were
unwilling to invite the depredatlons
committed by robbers. But this was
only a glarlng instance of an abuse
that has been growing for years,
while State and local authorities lay
back lazily and let merchants and
railroads struggle with 1t unaided.
1t Is fact known to every railroad
man that the robbery of freight cars
has been treated by police and minor
courts as a venial offence. The rail-
roads were rich; the despoiled ship
pers could seek damages from the
transportation company; the thief
was poor fellow" who took only

bred. Whole carloads Of coal have
disappeared, and those who stole the
coal were safe from arrest because 1t
was known to the railroads that they
would be set free by the inferior
courts out Of local sympathy, or on
the broad ground that after all they
were guilty only Of robbing a public
carrier.
In the same way the best conceived
and most persistently followed cam
paigns to rid railroad rights of way

Avoid Appearance Of Evil.

To THE EDITOR OF THE SUN-Sir: II
Is a pity that the innocent and beau

desirable notoriety on account of its

not deserve the odium any more than
the violet which was pluclted on the

However, there IL time and place
for everything, and It would seem TO
ne the part of tact and good taste not
to Haunt the cornhower conspicuousy

are inspired by the appearance OF some
rather too obvious boutonnieres OF corn
flowers In coat lapels that seem to carry
a challenge, whether in behalf OF the
flower OF the Kaiser II is not always
easy to say unless YOU know the indi-
vidual.
So avoidance would seem to be the
wiser course for the present, In view OF

Red, White and Black.

The flag of Germany consists of
three horizontal stripes, black, white
and red, with the black uppermost
and the red at the lpsttom Of the
bunting. 1t Is color combination
that does not appeal to the artistic
taste, and is to-day laden with an
abominable meaning to the world.
There is another combination of
black. white and red now notably in
evidence in Europe, however, that
without making pretence to artistic
worth conveys to the virtuous peo-
pies Of the earth q message of hope
and confidence. 1t Is revealed in
three cable messages from Europe
printed in the newspapers Of yester-
day. One of them records this fact:
Americans, including black Ameri-
cans. and English and Italians fought
between the French"
Thus one color is specified, and the
military rulers Of Germany are COM
PEELED to recognize 1t. The second
already indicated in the official an
nouncement is emphasized In General
PERsHING's communlque thus:
Advance continues. Counter attacks
thrown back. We have taken Cour-
melles, and are near (west of Ville-Mon-
toire, west OF (about 500 meters) Pies

Albin region the Germans appeared to
be fleeing. as few prisoners were made.

north, near scissors. We hold the Mon
tigne- Paris. then further south we
hold Courmelles. Mlllemontoire Is held
by the Germans, but we are still ad-
vancng. We are just west Of Tigny.
Rozet-St. Albin is ours. Maubry Is
ours Above we are west of Plessier-
Huileu. We made good progress dur

cans, were not idle. Now for the red:

POLICEMEN'S PAY.
Regret at the Failure to Increase First
Grade Salaries.

TO THE EDITOR OF THE SuN-Sir. As
a veteran reader Of THE SUN, l notice
with great pleasure the lucid editorial
article which appeared in Saturdays
issue relative to the increase of pay in
the lower grades OF patrolmen as sane
toned by the Board of Estimate
Mr.. Munsey deserves unstinted praise
for his achievement in this connection.
for his statements conveyed truthful but
sorrowful facts about the starvation
wages paid the members Of the Police
Department.
II is TO be regretted very much that
the first grade patrolmen have not re-
ceived an increase Of pay, but l am
quite sure Mr.. Munsey will further
champion their cause Great induce
ments are being made TO them to enSage
in other pursuits at better pay than
they are now receiving and with fewer
responsibilities.
As foreman Of the Grand Jury ]
have seen these men and l know Of their
excellent efficiency, fairness. honesty
and stamina. The loss of the services
OF such members of the Police De-
partment would be a serious blow to
the administration of Justice.
