Productive "Vice"

However the Sinking Fund Commits
sion came to make the decision to lease
Pier SO, North River, for term of
ten years at $4,000 a year, when the
firm holding the expiring lease was will
ing to pay $4,000 year, there can be
no question about the advantage to the
public which the legal fight over the
matter has produced. The authorities
have now asked for a court order per-
,mitting the receipt of bids, and one for
$4,000 year has been made. The prob
ability is that if the pier lease is auc
toned off even a larger sum NAV be
obtained.
When public outcry against the pro-
posed lease was first made Mayor Hylan
termed it "vicious criticism" and warned
against it, In view of the present state
OF affairs, it is exceedingly hard to see
the vice in it. The public will be richer.
considerably, by reason of it. The only
people harmed will be the individuals in
the concern which didn't get the very ad-
vantageous lease And with their pr;-
vate feelings and prospective profits the
taxpayers have no concern.

man of the enemy who won from his
British opponents the high title of "a
valiant and worthy foe"? We think
not We think there is reason, and
that it is none else than the fine advent
ure which is the battle of the sky.
The whole conduct of air fighting, so
far as it lies in the control of the in
dIvldual combatants, has been one Of
the few bright spots in the German rec
ord. For raids upon civilian popula-
tlons, upon women and children, the
nigh command that ordered the rape of
Belgium must take the blame The in
dlvldual German airman has shown
courtesy and generosity and the spirit
OF true craftsmanship in his man-to-
man fighting
just how does the call of the air worn
this result? Chiefly, no doubt, in the
type of human being, if German, who
answers it. The German with a spirit
still alive to the ideals of chivalry has
no other service where he can be so
nearly his own master and fight as
he wills to fight. In addition, the day
by-day adventure must surely bring
out the gallant side of the men who
partake of it. Wings are new growth
for man. He still feels that thew are
marvellous and strange You cannot

The Supreme Court of South Africa re-

In 1914 an Australian statute authorizing

person whom the Minister of Defence be-
lieved to be dsaffected or disloyal without

The militaristic feudalism which has wan

Its attempt to conquer the world by assert

feudalism, with it's war lords, Krupps spies

Foch a Home-Lover

tFron. The Christian Science Monitor>
General Foch, like General Joffre, is a
home lover, and avoids society. He is said
to live in a small fat near his Office, when
not at the front, and to be devoted to his
family. The conventions of society bore
him. Like the proverbal Englishman. he
is fond of taking long walks, and never
knows when he is beaten. His saying that
"the battle is never lost until its loss is
admitted" is famous and indicates not only
his military wisdom but his sane and cou-
rageous philosophy. Already a master Of
strategy before the war, he has not been
slow to learn the new lessons of the present
conflict; rather, indeed, has he developed
added initiative, decision and military
audacity.

A Hazardous Distinction

In the Presidents proclamation put
ting women enemy aliens on the same
1ootlng as men enemy aliens the former
Illogical and sentimental distinction be-
tween German subjects and Austro Hun
garlan subjects reappears.
What makes an Austrian or Hunga-
ran enemy, per Sc, less dangerous than
German enemy? Male Germans are
segregated from male Austrians and
Hungarians. The latter are classified as
sheep, the former as goats Now Ger
man women are to be similarly segre-
gated from Austrian and Hungarian
women.
This classification implies that all Ger
mans react in one way to the state of
war and all Austrians and Hungarians
react in an entirely different way. Such
an assumption is at odds with human
nature.
1t is true that certain of the subject
races of the Dual Monarchy have little
or no loyalty to it. But Austrians of
German blood and most Hungarians arc
violent partisans of the Teutonic Alli-
ance. They ought to be, if they arc
biindly patriotic. Prince Lichnowsky's
recently printed analysis of German
Austrian policy before the war certainly
shows that Berlin supported Austro-
Hungarian aims just as much as Vienna
played the game Of the Germans.
No sound distinction can be drawn be.
tween the enemy feeling Of the German
and the enemy feeling Of the Austrian
and the Hungarian if members of the
oppressed races in Austria and Hungary
are left out Of consideration. These dig

jects-the Czechs, Runanians, Poles, Ru.
thenians, Sloyaks, Italians and Slovenes

mass. But prudence requires that the

What Is the Truth About Alcohol? i?

We print this morning in our discus
sion a letter from Dr.. Allan McLane
Hamilton, fatty denying many Of the
statements that are currently made re-
garding the effect of the moderate use
OF alcohol, and of intemperance gencr-
ally. 1t will be seen that DR.. Hamilton
radically disagrees with the views put
forth by Dr. Eugene Lyman Fisk, DR..
Frederick w. Seward DR.. Isham G. Har-
ris and others
This eminent physician cites the in
vestigations made in the Galton Labora-
tory of Eugenics, in London, which are
strikingly at variance with many ideas
that find general currency in this coun-
try. These researches seem to show p
greater fertility of alcoholic parents. q
slightly greater weight and height. a
slightly better health of the children.
and, more striking still, that parental
alcoholism is not the source of mental
defect in offspring.
We are sure that DR.. Hamilton's letter
will be read with great interest and
arouse interesting discussion. Coming
from physician Of such standing, it is
far too important for the supporters of
the prohibition amendment to pass in
silence; and we shall promptly print
their replies.

oped in the letters we publish this

A Possible Compromise for the
Schools

According to all accounts, it is evident
that the attempt to "deliver" such an i'm
portant position as the superintendency
Of our public schools has definitely
failed. The new Board of Education has
convincingly shown it purposes to make
a thorough survey and to place at the
head of our schools man of whom both
the school system itself and the people
Of New York may rightly be proud.
President Somers would scarcely have
written the letter he did to DR.. John Fl.
Finley, and given out the latter's reply,
If majority of the board would not
have supported his election. 1t is also
well known that President Somers has
highly favored the choice of Superin-
tendent Shiels, formerly of the New
York schools, but more recently at the
head Of the schools in Los Angeles; and
educators are everywhere agreed that it
would be difficult to find an ADLER man.

The Submarine Is Not Dead

A great many people have the belief
that because ship losses from the sub
marine have recently fallen to low
level the effect of the submarine is de-
clining accordingly. 1t is not.
A moments thought will show that a
very large part of the efficacy of the u
boat warfare remains, and will remain
until, practically speaking, the Uboats
are put off the seas. 1t is not the num-
ber of sinkings, it is the disruption Of
ocean commerce, that has really been
the deadliest part of the submarines
work. Owing to the convoy system and
to the use of circuitous routes, the aver
age time Of cargo boats, across and back,
has been more than doubled That is ex-
actly as if the whole seagoing tonnage
of the Allies had been cut in two.
Aside from all this, if the submarine
could be completely bottled up it would
mean to the Allies, through the move
ment of troops, the sending of supplies,
the possibility of attacks at distant
points and supported from the sea, an
obvious and tremendous gain.
Alkthis is so simple, so clear, that it
is more than regrettable to learn that
2 red tape, inaction and a conflict of au-
thority still delay the letting of con-
tracts for the large feet of U-boat
chasers which is absolutely necessary to
achieve the end we have pictured. Only
Mr.. Ford is making chasers. Highly as
for production, this is simply absurd.
Our information is that it would be
perfectly possible to build and equip
with engines at least $50 submarine
chasers outside of Mr.. Ford's work. and
without interfering with any naval
work or other shipbuilding construction.
In the face of this we hear of the Navy
Department parleying and quibbling
over the question Of letting contracts for
another ffty!
England has had drastic experience
with dead wood, conservatism and old
fogylsm in her navy, and so important
work as the building of this chaser fleet
seems languishing now in our Navy De-
partment for exactly the same reasons
1t is now running into months since it
was unequivocally demonstrated that
submarine detectors of remarkable
range could be built. In point of fact.
the original proposals for chaser fleet
were made by the responsible bureau in
Washington more than six months ago.
Does Secretary Daniels realize what all
TINS lnactlon and invincible prejudice on
the part of his bureaucratic heads is
costing the country and the Allied cause
Inls IS a matter about which there
ought not to be another such humiliatinq
delay as has characterized the shipbuild-
ing work.
