H" System Most
Important Link

This system is by far the biggest step
in bringing to effectiveness the most
important link of the dual subway plan,
Public Service officials feel. 1t will
mark, too, the passing of the original
subway as q unit
When it is completed the "H" sys-
tom will provide New York with two
distinct subways-one on the East Side
and the other on the West-with con-
Meeting links at Bowling Green, at
Forty-second Street, at 125th Street
and at 1G7th Street. The East Side
subway will be officially designated the
Lexington Avenue line; the West Side
subway, the Seventh Avenue line.
The East Side subway will start at
Atlantic Avenue, Brooklyn, run up
Broadway to the Brooklyn Bridge, to
fourth Avenue, to the Grand Central,
up Lexington Avenue, under the Har-
lem River and merge with the Jerome
Avenue spur, thereby eliminating the
Mott Avenue station as transfer point.
Its terminus will be at 167th Street.
From there Sixth and Ninth avenue
~ trains, which will run across the
Harlem River on a bridge, will follow
the run to Kingsbridge Road. From
Kingsbridge Road a shuttle subway
service will take passengers to Wood
lawn. When the line is completed the
Lexington Avenue trains will run di-
rect to Woodlawn.
Another branch of the Lexington
Avenue line will, when completed,
branch OFF at Mott Avenue and run
through the east side of The Bronx to
Pelham Bay. Part Of this system is
expected to be ready in a month. This
will not interfere with the present
Bronx Park service, which will run
along the Lexington Avenue route to
Mott Avenue
The West Side, or Seventh Avenue,
subway, when the oh" is finished, will
run from the Battery along the West
Side, with spur to Park Place, and
from Times Square will pick up the
route Of the old Broadway and Van
Cortlandt Park lines.
At Bowling Green passengers from
Brooklyn on a Lexington Avenue, or
East Side, train may transfer to a
Seventh Avenue, or West Side, train,
and such transfers can be made at the
Grand Central, 125th Street and 167th
Street stations. At the last named sta
tion transfer will be made to either
north or south bound West Side "L'
| trains.

Says He Was Misquoted
C. L. Hostetter Explains
Firms Attitude on Wages

G. L. Hostetter. labor superintendent
Of the Wright Aircraft Cor
poraton, who recently was quoted as
saying his concern would obtain all
necessary help, no matter what wages
it was obliged to pay, announced yes
terday he had been misquoted.
He now says the corporation he rep
resents is desirous of cooperating in
the fullest measure with all manufact
urers doing government work and will
in all cases pay wages similar to those
given for the same sort of work in
other plants.

The I ribune
resh Air Fund
Making children happy!

Making children happy
How?
BY taking them out of misery
BY Transporting them to Fairyland.
By keeping them there for two
weeks.
To-day, this glorious Monday morn
ing, 1885 boys and girls, who are used
to awakening
To hear the roar of the az" passing
their bedroom windows in Allen Street.
To look out through their windows,
if their bedrooms have any, upon the
dingy, blank walls of the tenements
that line Macdougal Street.
To smell the odors that cling like
death to the halls and rooms of tene-
ments that TEEN with humanity.
A New Awakening
These 1885 boys and girls awoke
this fair morning with, in place OF the
roar of the city, the music Of birds IN
their ears; to look out through win
dows filled with the blue of an unsul-
lied sky, with visions of rolling hills
and waving treetops; to breathe IN
deep breaths, sweet with the fragrance
of the country.
The 1885 are the guests of The
Tribune Fresh Air Fund.
Eight hundred and eighty-one Of
them began their fortnight vacations
at various times last week. The rest
began theirs during the preceding
week.
To-day the Fresh Air Fund viii
add 581 to the 1885 now in the coun-
try; so that tomorrow morning 24ll
youngsters will awaken to find them
selves guests Of the Fund in Fairy land
During the present week the Fund
, will send out 1,242 children TO begin
vacations. That is to say, plans are
already complete for the sending OF
that many, but the number will prob
ably be considerably augmented before
the week ends.
These are large numbers. No other
organization in the world doing SINH
lar work deals in numbers that ap-
proach them But, 0 Friends OF
Children, the numbers are not hall
large enough to meet the need of the
children of New York City.
100000 Need Vacations
There are 100000 tenement lads anC
lasses in this great city who ought tt
go to the country for two weeks o.
longer, if their acute physical need:
are to be supplied. The Board o.
Health says that they are physically
undernourishcd, and need food anC
change Anybody who has seen then
at play in their home streets know!
that they must be spiritually starved
Many of them are half, or more thar
half, sick. The opportunity to play
play, play is the birthright of each O
them.
Friends of Children, will you hell
The Tribune Fresh Air Fund to NEE
the needs of this great number Of boy
and girls? Their needs will go un
supplied unless you do:
The Tribune Fresh Air Fund is th
only hope of thousands of them for
trip to the country this summer.
If you will help, send a contribution
to the Fund-and send it quickly.

Women in Japan

1.-THE women are voiceless. They canno,
attend political meetings. They are the
women of Jane Austin's novels-meek and
submissive, They obey their husbands as
lord and master. 1t is their duty to serve.
In their homes they occupy the position Of
upper servants. Socially they have no life.
"Woman there is frankly considered
mans inferior. The>girl's education is moi
the same as the boys. Today girls schools
are increasing. There are several exception
ally fine ones-among the best and earliest
is that of Miss Suda. But the portion edu-
Gated is small. Few girls 60 beyond gram
mar school, and the typical high school fol-
girls limits the education to sewing and
etiquette.
''In spite of woman's low social status
she is everywhere working. The pay she
receives is a triAe. In one packing house
the wage for women was $3.50 month.
For man the same labor brought SIS. And
even the woman's meager earnings are not
her own. Before she marries, the wages go
to her parents. After marriage, unless she
has registered her claim, which she rarely
does, the husband receives the wages.-Er.

The Latest Rumor

The sentry is calling the Corporal of the
Guard,
For some one or something, has passed
through our yard;
1t seems that our gates, have been left all
a-jar,
So Master Epidemic, could have entered
from afar.
From gossip here and rumor there, it is
very hard to state,
How these germ-illed strangers, passed
through our iron gate;
Have you heard the latest ? l will tell it to
you straight,
Some one saw Epidemic, watching the
Corporal at the gate.
1t sure was Epidemic and some of his sec
ret chums,
Seated in their auto, with their driver from
the slums;
They seemed planning and scheming, TAX
ing count of all the men.
Finally convinced themselves, this place,
they'd make their den.
Now Master Epidemic and his well-known
close relations,
Vainly tried for weeks and weeks, to start
their depredations;
Their names seem quite familiar, in every
City and Town,
They've stolen life, left only grief, it's hard
to run them down.
They called their driver ''Enza," told him
to speed-oD high.
We must get within these walls, the time is
now quite nigh;
They caused all kinds of trouble, around
the Army Post,
Now they have fully decided, on harming
us the most.
They sought the Corporals confidence, of
many things they spoke,
And even tried to blind his eyes, with puffs
of auto smoke;
They made him dream of Mexico, some
things about Carranza,
Handed him the Spanish Grip, and sure
'nough "In-Au-enza.
Now you know and understand, just how
this illness came,
So do not ''break'' the Corporal, for he is
not to blame;
Let's buckle down to business, and fight
this 'sSpanish Flu"
However, if we weaken, we'll take some
s'medics" too.
Well freeze old Epidemic, with fresh air,
right off the bat,
Then we'll give him scrubbing, lye and
soap will do for that;
We should have plenty tobacco, for those
who smoke and chew,
For surely that would help a lot, to kill that
"Spanish Flu"

Rheims in Utter Ruin

The last shells. have fallen upon Rheims.
The Germans have retired over the hills to
save the guns that fred the parting shots.
one of which hit the cathedral.
''The crash of it, said witness, ''of
this last blow OF brutal force at the inani-
mate product of supreme art, sounded like
an explosion of impotent rage"
few more stones fell from the ragged
edge of an old breach in one of the arches
of the ceiling; another cloud of dust and
smoke rose out OF the skeleton structure and
the German effort at the destruction of the
ancient capital OF the Remi was ended.
There is little more the Germans could
have done, for Rheims is in utter ruin, as
complete a symbol as even the Germans
would wish to leave behind them of the
ruthlessness OF war as they have waged it.
Only the buildings in the outskirts remain
erect, and not one of them was left un-
touched.
Toward the center of the town nothing
but the ragged remnants of walls remain
standing, while around the cathedral and
other churches even the walls have been re-
duced to heaps of debris.
The cathedral, which required more than
200 years in the building, has been reduced
to ruins in four years of more or less con-
slant bombardment. The walls ale stand
ing, but daylight shows through them in
many places.-Er.

Plain Tales From the Bible
Continued from page two.)

Continued from page two.)
that Moses had revealed, by Gods command
was but an earthly manifestation of Divine
pleasure and love. Seeing, at last, the utter
futility Ct his efforts and sensing the sure
end of the Hebrew nation that was approach
ing, he turned away from temporal things
and voiced his inspired utterances concern
ing moral and spiritual living.
The literature of the world may be search
ed from the first word to the last but no.
where will be found imagery so striking, so
understandable, as that which is credited to
Isaiah; nor, withal, any so directly appli-
cable to life as humanity must live it.
As his vision broadened he saw the Holy
One blessing all mankind extending His
loving purposes to all the universe. Time
has set the stamp of verify upon the proph-
cts hopes. The Christ was born, proved a
living example of Right, trod alone the way
of death and returned to life conqueror of
deaths grim terrors. The marching years
bring ever into holder relief the Divine fact
that the wonderful force of Good is infinite
and Interchangeable. Close to three thousand
years ago Isaiah moved among scenes of the
widest disorder, witnessing peoples de-
spair but alive to their possibilities for hap
piness. 1t was from experience and obser-
walton as we'll as by inspiration and visions
that his warnings and promises came; and
all the intervening years have served only
to add to their worth and wisdom. Happy,
indeed, the mortal who reads with an under
standing heart: ''Keep ye judgment, and
do justice;'' in other words adhere to the
Right and eye shall 60 out with joy, and
be lead forth with peace"

Darkness Above The Sky

The projectile of the gun with which the
Germans have been Smelling Paris from a
distance of seventy-fve miles must rise in its
trajectory to height of twenty-four miles
above the earth. The Scientific American
says it is probable that at that height there
is so little air that the sky loses its blue ap-
pearance, because there is hardly enough of
it to produce the refraction of light which
gives it its luminosity.
eff we could accompany this shell on its
course" continues the Scientific American,
1--WE should probably find the sky growing
darker and darker, until it becomes nearly
black. In.the black sky the sun would
show as ball of fire, while the stars which
were not obliterated by the suns light would
also be visible. Below us we should have
the reflection of sunlight from the earth and
from the denser strata of the atmosphere.

Der Tag"


IKiplines poem was never more timely than now
when the German braggart is seeking to escape
the impending disaster.J
You boosted the day, and you toasted the day
And now the day has come.
Blasphemer, braggart, and coward all,
Little you reck of the numbing ball,
The blasting shell, or the white arms fall,
As they speed poor humans home.
You spied for the day, you lied for the day,
And worked for the days red spleen.
Monster, who asked Gods aid divine,
Then strewed His seas with CHASTITY wine,
Not all the waters of the Rhine
Can wash thy foul hands clean.
You dreamed for the day, you schemed for
the day,
Watch how the day will go.
Slayer of age, and youth and prime
(Defenseless slain for never a crime),
Thou art stepped in blood as hog in slime,
False friend and cowardly foe.
You have sown for the day, you have grown
for the day,
Yours is the harvest red.
Can you hear the groans and the awful cries!
Can you see the heap of slain that lies,
And sightless, turned to the Aame-split skies,
The CLASSY eyes of the deadl
You haved wronged for the day, you have
longed for the day,
That lit the awful fame.
It's nothing to you that hill and plain
Yield sheaves of dead amid the grain;
That widows mourn for their loved ones
slain,
And mothers curse thy name.
But after the day there's price to pay
For the sleepers under the sod,
And He you have Knocked for many day
Listen and hear what He has to say:
Vengeance is Mine, l will repay"
What can you say to Godi

But He Never Bought A BOND

He swore that he was loyal,
Just as loyal as could be,
And wished that he was young enough
To 60 across the sea
And fight the bloomin' Kaiser
To his face across the pond;''
He was wild to be soldier
But he wouldn't buy a bond.
He waved Old Glory proudly
All along the village street,
And he spouted patriotism
To all whom he CHANGED to meet;
But he couldn't see the Red Cross
And he couldn't see beyond
To the soldiers in the trenches
For he wouldn't buy bond.
His voice was heard in churches
Sounding Liberty's glad strain,
Aud he spoke at every meeting
In patriotic vein.
He was leader in the shouting,
OF his country he was fond,
He Dragged and bluffed and clustered
But he didn't buy bond.
While neighbors frisked their breeches
For another FIVE OF, ten,
He clutched his string hound wallet
Like niger grabs hen.
He would die, you bet, for country,
But be totally dog-goned
If he d loosen up on his money
So he never bought bond.

The Battle-Line

Like gray ghosts on sea of gray
The great gray feet at anchor rides,
Proud conqueror of the nervous tides,
Whose broken rollers slosh away,
Defeated from its sides.
There in the doubtful mists they wait,
Tense, for the vision they may see
Of grim and ghostly foes-when free,
They may at last unloose their great
Red voice of victory.
