Workers Versus Jobholders

The Board of Estimate protests that It
wants to grant the 10 per cent increase
in pay demanded by the firemen and no.
hcemen, but that it can't find a way to
raise the money. 1t admits the Justice of
the mems demand. 1t laments it's in
ability to meet it,
This difficulty may seem to be onlv q
temporary one-until the next budget
may be adopted. Then the raise could
be passed along to the taxpayers. Mean.
time the school teachers are asking for
material increase in salaries, and the
nurses in the Health Department want
their pay raised, and their case is as
good as the case Of these other city en-
ployes.
But there is limit to the ability Of
the taxpayer to pay. When an individual

An Explanation for Mr.. Damrosch

10 tHe EuitOT Ol 1 he lTlDune.
Sir: l beg to correct a statement pub
lished in some of the newspapers in con-
nection with Walter Damrosch's recent de-
parture for France under the auspices Of
the overseas division of the Y. NJ. c. A.
Mr.. Damrosch did not take an American
orchestra with him, as some of the news
papers stated. An orchestra of fifty French
musicians was recruited in Paris TO play un-s
der Mr.. Damrosch's direction in the Ameri-
can rest and concentration camps in France.
The salaries of these musicians viii! be palo
from fund provided by Harry Hardness
Flagler, president of the Symphony Society
of New York, whose chief motives in donss-
ing the money, besides that of provid'ns
entertainment for the American soldiers
were to furnish employment for needy
French musicians and to testify to his gress
admiration for France and for French idea~
in art.
Will you kindly give publicity to thess
facts so that there may be no further M
understanding about them!

Hearst Tries to Unstab Italy

While German propaganda was eating
into the morale Of Italy. unawares, like
cancer, Hearst was inoculating the
readers Of his newspapers with the same
disease. That he insulted Italy in doing
so was nothing to him. He probably
never thought of it, He was as wrong
about the attitude of Italians in this
country toward the war as about the
spirit of his own countrymen.,
On April Z, 1917, just as we were
going into the war, "The New York
American" said:
10 speak OF this war war between
an alliance of democracies and an alll-
ance Of autocracies, between a league Of
free peoples and a league of despots. is
to speak foolishly. . What we'll
informed person believes that either Ru.
mania, or Serbia, or Italy, is, or ever has
been, a democracy?"
Four and a half months later. on
August 16, 1917, with a German peace
offensive taking place, "The New York
American" predicted the utter collapse
OF Italy and assumed her to be perfidious
In the following outrageous and gra-
tuitous manner:
Italy probably cannot go through an
other winter Of suffering and another
year Of warfare without the risk of reyo
luton and the overthrow of it's present
government, SO that NECESSITY, if not
inclination, compels the Italian govern
ment seriously to consider the Pope's
proposals and to stand ready to support
them in secret, at least, with representa-
tions to which France and England must
give reasonable heed"
And now, when people are taking their
revenge by making bonfires of his news

On Tuesday "The New York Ameri-

"A deathless page of history is being
inscribed by the Italian armies on the
Piave. Italy's hour Of glory has struck.
The exalted valor and military genius
with which she has turned the Austrian
offensive into disorderly retreat may
come to be recognized, in the perspective
of the future, as having forged the de-
cisive thunderbolt of the war"
But that was not enough. The bon
fires continue.

HAUBER THEATRE MONDAY

Never make love behind a window shade, is one of the lessons taught in "The Golden Wall,' World-Picture production appearing Monday at the Hauber theatre.
 Making love behind a window shade proved to be the downfall of Rudolph Miller, Marian Lathrop's fiance. Ru- dolph was engaged to an heiress, but he also loved another. He and his secondary sweetheart were silh0uet- ted on the window shade and exposed by little Madge Evans playing the role of Madge Lathrop. The exposure paved the way for Carlyle Blackwell, as the young French marquis, and Evelyn Greeley, in the role of the millonaire's daughter, to declare their love for each other.
 In this picture the pcor man is accused of being fortune hunter. But the unexpected happens-the young millionaire proves the money hunter. Charles Fontaine has sworn he will never marry the girl unless she is as poor as he is or he is as rich as she. Time comes when the girl finds she really loves him and she asks her father to cut her out of his will, so that she could be as poor as Fontaine. On the the other hand Fon- taine has invested in oil securities and suddenly accumulates a fortune

BELGIAN RELIEF DAY CELEBRATED
 IN PINE BLUFF
Thousands of Articles of Clothing Collected by
 Rotary Club.

Yesterday was Belgian Day and the Rotarians celebrate: il by collect ing clothing for the war stricken Belgians. Automobiles were 'as- signed certain districts to canvass. These automobiles flew the American and Belgian flags and carried Boy Scouts who rang COW bells to tell of their approach.
 Many bundles, and some large ones. were collected but the result of the drive did not come up to the expec- tations of the Rotarians. This fail -ure was attributed to the lack of accumulation of clothing since the canvass of the city in the winter.
 The Isaac Dreyfus company dnnat- ed q load of cloth to be made into clothing and collection of hats estimated at $6O.
 The unofficial count of what was brought in is as follows.
 131 pairs of socks.
 20 mems suits.
 90 pairs trousers.
 52 overcoats.
 56 vests.
 15 mems overcoats.
 40 ladies' coats.
