SELECTING JURY FUR
 MARK M CAIN TRIAL
Adjourned Term of Nevada Cir cult Court Convened This MOrning-Cases of Mark Me. Cain and J. l.. Daniel.

The task of selecting jury to try Mark Mccain, father of Henry and Joe Mccain, for the murder of ]. P. Slagle, was begun this afternoon at o'clock. About forty men were sum- moned from all over the county from which the jury will be picked. This morning and part of the afternoon was consumed in considering the re- quest of the attorneys for Mccain for a postponement of the case on account of the physical condition of the de- fendant who was operated on last week, and who the attorneys claimed is not able to go through the trial. This motion was overruled, however, by Judge Haynie, after questioning physicians who examined Mccain at noon today, the physicians testifying that nothing came out in the eXamna- ton to prove that the defendant was unable to stand trial. A continuance was also asked on the ground that Dr, Chastain, one of the main witnesses, is out of town. This was also over ruled by the court and the selection ot the jury was begun.
 Henry and Joe Mccain, the two sons, have been pardoned by the gov ernor. Joe plead guilty to manslaugh- ter and was given seven years, ana Henry was convicted and sentenced ts 20 years.

meric days down to this war never a
time has interviewed when armor of
some sort has not been worn by war
riors. OF late, until the present war,
the armor may have represented
rather sentimental cllnging to n
tradition-as the helmets of certain
cavalry regiments, the traces OF ar
NOR in the uniforms Of certain troops
of culrassiers-than practical de-
fence, such as is the unlovely "tin
lids" our soldiers now wear.
HoMER's heroes clumsily protected
parts Of their bodies with bronze he'll
NETS, cuirasses and greaves, and did
the best they could for other parts Of
their bodies with their shields, also
Of bronze. When later Greeks fur
Their developed armor more nearly to
cover the body, the shield was made
smaller, and finally disappeared when
the use Of lighter metal permitted
mounted soldiers to fight in armor
completely enveloping the body.
The early Germans, says an au-
thorify, had no armor except the
shield until long after the Romans
they fought against were as fully ar
mored as n modern battleship, but
when the advantage Of armor was
knocked into their heads the Germans
went In for that protection with plOd-
ding earnestness. Their merchants
were forbidden to sell outside the
realm chain shirts, the byrnies later
extended into a knee length coat, and
all land owners were required to own
at least one byrnie.
The Crusaders most rapidly devel-
oped armor such as New Workers are
familiar with In the Metropolitan Mu-
scum Of Art collection. This, with
the visor down, SO masked the wearer
that in order to be recognized by com
panions and followers he Identified
himself by armorial bearings.
When gunpowder came into use
armor fell rapidly into disuse; now,
with the effectiveness of gun and
powder enormously increased. 1t is in
teresting that army experts are again
experimenting with armor which can
be used to offset the very cause of
it's dIsuse.

1t Means Adequate Protection to the
Citizens.

To THE EDITOR OF THE SUN-Sir: I
hope you will not cease In the very cred
liable effort to see that the salaries of
our policemen and OF the firemen are
increased to make It possible to live as
they are entitled to live.
I am able to say with authority that
designations are being handed in by the
younger men. who have little to lose,
having been in the department a COM
paratively short time.
Only the men who have been long IN
the service. nearing their twenty year
retirement. are the ones that will re-
main.
No new men are entering the Fire De-
partment. and besides, the draft taking
great numbers away, we are to see our
city badly protected. When it is much
below the necessary number of men now,
what are We to expect should a winter
similar TO the one just passed confront
US?
II Is time the people were aware OF
the inefficient protection their business
and their homes are under at the pres
ent and tell Mayor Hylan that the men
are resigning and will resign IL they
have salaries insufficient for the support
Of their families. ONE FIRE BUFF.

THE WORKS OF WAR.
Is Too Much Time Devoted TO Trivial
Transgressorsi

To TIE EnIroR OF THE SuN-Sir: All
honor to the British seamen who have
had the manhood to declare that they
would not tolerate a German sailor in
a British ship nor take British ship
into German port for a term Of years
after the war in retaliation for the as
sasslnation OF non-combatant seamen.
What contrast the spirit OF this ac-
ton presents to that Of those who, with
the lives and destinies of their country
men at stake, devote themselves in time
Of war TO correcting among their own
people such transgressions as intern
perance and the newly discovered crime
of profiteering.
Half Of the righteous indignation
vented upon these age long evils of CIV
ilizat!on, IL directed upon the modern
crime OF military murder and piracy.
would do much to bring about their
extinction. We did not hesitate once
20 invoke the spectre OF the gibbet as a
deterrent to those contemplating usuri-
Gus practices among our own citizens
when the world was at peace.

when the murder OF our women and
children demand its requisition for the
legitimate purpose for which 1t was in

"A BELGIAN SOLDIER.
He Wants an American GOdmother
Preferably a Writer OF French.

To THE EDITOR OF THE SUN-Sir: Life
in the trenches is not always pleasant,
as you may well expect, and notwith-
standing the highest spirits, one gets
sometimes very weary and lonely. II
is during the rest hours that one longs
for a kind word and a sympathetic
friend who will make one forget all
about war. and remind him that there
are still happy, pleasant things to live
for.
Many OF my chums have come to me
and told me how much they would like
to have a godmother, sympathetic in
her correspondence. to keep them cheer
full In their name and in my own l
appeal to you. hoping that through your
medium young American ladies will
adopt a Belgian "flleul." Some OF the
men have been at the front two or
three years: some are fighting since
the very beginning. Most of them
know some English. yet French god
mothers would be most welcome.
To assure you that you would really
be doing a little patriotic work I asked
my Major to sign my letter. Hoping
that my request may meet with sue

The New Drayage system.

Everybody whose business takes
him to the water front has recognized
for years that the drayage practices
of the port Of New York are hope
lessly antlquated, cumbersome and
extruvngant. They cannot be said to
constitute II system their chief char
acteristic, In fact, has been lack of
system. Whoever had freight to carry
from the piers has sent his own truck
or hired cartman to get his goods,
and then sat down to walt for them.
The cOnslgnee might wait a day, or
two days, or three days for his bales
and boxes. In many cases the wharves
have been used as storage warehouses
while the owners of goods peddled
them In the trade.
The result has been congestion of
traffic, delay In unloading cars and
slowing down of the transportation
system. There being no central au-
thorlty competent to make and en-
force regulations, no remedy could
be enforced. Every transportation
company was law unto itself, and
every merchant and manufacturer
was obliged to conform to the situa-
ton, whether he wanted to or not.
With the transportation lines under
The sun., 1918-07-09

one direction, however, the evils that
have grown up can be corrected, and
will be, under a sensible plan for the
management of trucks and unloading
Of ships and railroad cars. The
scheme worked out by JAMES s. HAIR.
Lam of the Interstate Commerce Com
mission with the help of number of
other citizens, and approved by Mr..
McADoo displays all the elements of
practlcabillty. 1t provides for prompt
unloading of cars and ships, imme-
diate delivery Of goods to conslgnees,
and the utilization of the full carry
ing capacity of trucks. 1t should re-
duce the number of vehicles In the
streets. and by expedlting the hand
ling of freight greatly increase the
effectiveness of all of the transporta-
ton lines. Every freight car used as
storage place Is a dead loss to the
country. The fact that demurrage Is
paid on 1t is Of no consequence. What
we need is not high receipts from idle
rolling stock, but the rolling stock In
active service. Any reform that will
get the cars back on the main tracks
quickly will confer great benefits.

BASTILE DAY.
July ID Should be a Great Hollda,
for America.

To THE EDITOR OF THE SuN-Sir. The
universal celebration Of American indie
pendence Day in the nations fighting the
cause of human freedom has carried
throughout the world an inspiration
whose effect can only be measured fully
in the histories OF the future.
In the American mind the effect Of
the French adoption of our holiday prob.
ably is even more impressive than the
British recognition OF July 4. The spirit
OF brotherhood between Americans and
French has finally been most thoroughly
proved by the Joint celebration Of the
great anniversary.
The opportunity to reciprocate lies d.
rectly before us. On July IA the won
derful nation OF France will celetrate
its holiday concentrating the fall Il
the Bastile. the incident in history which
heretofore. in the French conception, has
marked the annual recognition ~ the
greatest step toward freedom in Europe
Why not adopt the most important
French holiday here in this eyerttu
year as fitting compliment TO the men
who are now helping US in the great
fight begun in 1875?

A Third Term Issue That Does Not
Hold Water.

Attorney General LEWIS has in
iected third term issue into the
Gubernatorial campaign. 1t is one
Of his "Ten Reasons Why Governor
WHITMAN Should Not Be Renomi-
natcd":
80. No third term.
For eighty years the Empire State
1as followed this precedent II a third
term. why not a fifth term, or a life
tenure?'
When he mentions eighty years,
Mr.. LEWIS is thinking of the end of
the reign of WILLIAM l.. MARCY, who
served three consecutive terms and
was nominated for a fourth, but was
beaten at the polls.
Has Mr.. LEWIS forgotten the case
of DAVID B. HILL? That Democrat
first came to the Governorship
through the resignation of GROVER
CLEVELAND, who had been elected
President. This was a first term for
Hill just as certainly as Roosevelt's
holding Of the Presidential office after
the death Of MCKINLEY was first
term for the Colonel.
HILL was elected to his second term
in 1885 and to his third term in
1888; and 1t must be remembered
that these were terms OF three years
each. while Governor WHITMAN has
served in two year terms. HILL was
nominated for Governor in 1894; a
fourth cup Of coffee. The fact that
HILL was beaten in 1894 may be used
by Mr.. LEWIS to illustrate the. States
supposed horror of many terms. The
real reason for DAVID B. HILLS de
feat was the general unpopularity
he had brought upon himself
If President Is permitted to serve
eight years, why should not Cover
nor have The same honor? The word
term in the sense ii is used by Mr..

Dirtiest New York,

The description of the filthy New
York Of half century ago which ap-
pears elsewhere on this page Is from
the pen of man who saw these hor-
rible conditions and helped TO eradi-
cate them. DR.. STEPHEN SMITH made
the survey which convinced the Leg
islature that New York must have
health department. 1t has been de-
scrlbed as the most perfect sanitary
Investigation of municipality on
record: surely 1t was the most i'm
portant. Measure the reform in
terms Of human life and you find that
If the city were as foul to-day as DR..
SMITH found 1t In 1865 the deaths
would be $4,000 more a year than
they are.
OF course New York could never
again he the pigpen that it was in
those benighted years. Yet It is we'll
10 remember the horror. Every poll
tlclan, present or future, who may
try to attack the structure of health
department which DR.. SMITH and his
associates built up ought to he re-
minded of the era Of the plaques.
We may add, and not wholly ex-
traneously, that virtue is not always
its own only reward. That DIR. STE
PHEN SMITH, whose work saved more
lives than we dare TO compute, is still
able, at the age of % plus, to write
so graphically of the ancient horrors
is sign that the law of compensa-
tion Is not repealed.
