Hon pacR D. ~ I'M d to standard
the children's bureau Of the United
States department of labor has just
published pamphlet on THE Public
Health Nurse; How She Helps to
Keep Our Babies Well" This pam
phlet was prepared by DIR, G. E. A.
Winslow, professor of public health
at Yale university. 1t has been sent
to the state child welfare chairman
of the council of national defense for
the information of communities that
are engaged In the children's year
campaign to save 100000 babies.
The national organization for pub
lie health nurses has suggested that
the state councils of national defense
shall engage supervisor of nurses
who shall keep up the standard Of
public health nursing in the state and
especially shall keep in touch with
those nurses who are provided with
only the emergency equipment Of the
ten-weeks' campaign.
Fresh milk will be supplied to 10000
sick and wounded soldiers in France
by 1000 cows which the Frmch gov
eminent has agreed to loan to
the American Red Cross, it is an
nounced by that organization. With
these cows the Red Cross will estab-
lish model experimental dairy plant
at the largest American army hos
pital in France. An appropriation of
$1,000 has been made for the institu-
ton of the plant As the dairy will be
operated by convalescent soldiers the,
cost of maintenance will be compara-
lively small.
To prevent the waste of labor and
parchment paper and cartons made
for units of butter smaller than the
pound size, the rule prohibiting the
manufacture or sale of butter in less
than pound prints, has been amended
so as TO go into effect on January 1,
1919. This is to obviate the waste of
supplies of paper and cartons already
| on hand.
After the first OF the year no quar-
| ter or half-pound prints or any prints
less than d pound can be sold; except
that retailer may cut a unit of a
pound or more and sell as desired.

ERIE COMMUTERS PLANT.
Their Tickets Are Good Only for q
Calendar Month.

To TIN EDITOR OF THE SuN---Sir: Mr..
McAdoo did not 60 far enough when he
issued the order boosting the railroad
rates TO three cents a mile throughout
tho country. Why not give the Erie
Railroad commuters q chance and allow
them to enjoy the same privileges that
are enjoyed by the commuters OF the
Pennsylvania. the New York Central
and the New Haven railroads?
What ! have in mind In the monthly
Communication ticket. The Erie Railroad
commuters tickets are good only for one
calendar month. whereas on other rail-
roads. such as the Central, the Pennsyl-
vania and the New Haven. they are
good for thirty days from tho date Of
purchase.
In the Eries method the commuter,
through not going 10 business on Sun
days. loses four round trips every
month. whereas II he could buy a ticket
when needed and good for thirty days
from tho date OF purchase. some OF the
lost rides could be made up.
or course the Erie Railroad would be
put to more expense II II adopted the
new method. because OF tho fact that
1T would have to issue books in place
OF the cards now in vogue.
Why not give the commuters run
fer the.r money? l.. NJ.

The CnhOnOred Prophet.

The Gnrabed incident appears to be
closed. The commission Of scientists
appointed by Congress unanimously re-
port that the new motor will not run,
that they do not believe In Its princl-
pie. and that they see no probability
Of Mr.. GARGossIAN being able to draw
free energy from the atmosphere. Be-
fore this lately celebrated invention
passes to Its rest along with the Keely
motor and the Philosophers Stone 1t
Is timely to reflect that contempt
rnry disfavor does not always and
necessarily prove man great. Great
ness remains somewhat exceptional.
and the exception proves the rule.
We take chivalrous delight in the
triumphs Of the prosecuted and de-
splsed. But such triumphs are neither
common nor commonly deserved. 1t
Is unsound to argue, rs we are all
prone TO do, that great oak will
grow from every little acorn or that
each ugly duckllng must turn out to
be swan. Many Of the ugliest turn
out to be geese.
1t is quite true that people stoned
the Prophets; but that fate which the
ancient callously described as "wear-
ing stone shirt" did not ms rule
imply any gift Of prophecy. 1t IS
true that NATHAN HALE was hanged
but so were EUGENE .ARAM and GEORGE
BARNwELL. For one COLUMBUS or
one CALLED treated with mistaken
rldicule there nre countless freaks
and cranks and charlatans genuinely
ridiculous. KEATS died unappreci-
ated and LINCOLN was hated and re-
viled. 1t would be well for the world
II contempt always made poet or
contumely statesman. If 1t did
there would be genius enough in any
Greenwich Village street to manage
millennium.
When a man Is fouted by his fel-
lows, that may possibly mean that
he IL in advance OF his age. More
probably 1t means that he Is behind
the times. A man who comes TO n
bad end may eventually receive the
crown Of martyrdom. Or more fire.
quently the verdict Of the future may
be that 1t served him right. Tradi-
ton has it that Genius is born once
In a generation; and that another
sort Of person is born every minute.
1t Is hard to draw fire from heaven.
But It seems comparatively easy for
many people to draw free energy from
the atmosphere.

In the interest Of the Polish people,
but of Germany and Austria. Against
the remonstrance Of the Poles Ger.
many took the province Of Cholm to
build up n Ukraine. Her. intention Is
still further to decrease the Polish
territory and to deprive 1t of on out
let to the SEQ by appropriating the
Baltic Sea coast and the port Of Riga.
N the Lithuanians would stop their
clamoring for republican form of
government and accept q Bavarian
lordllng as ruler they might have part
Of these marine provinces. If they
insist in their refusal military ne
cessities'' dictate that the whole ter
rltory shall be added to Prussia and
the Hohenzollern dominion be moved
northward from the Mcneil to the
Gulf Of Riga.
The remaining conditions are pro-
visional safeguards against the ex-
preston of natlonalism which Ger.
many has been struggling with In
Posen and East Prussia. The Poles
In these provinces accepted the chal-
lenge to fight for an existence on IN
economic basis. Even BIsMARcK's
policy of Prussifcation, of peOpling
Polish land with German colonists,
Of forcing the German language In
the schools and Of suppressing Polish
papers and books, could not destroy
the national spirit. The Germans
will not take the same chances with
Poland rs q vassal. They refuse to
play mt statecraft SO gnmely. They
insist that the same rights they have
denied to the Poles shall be secured
to the Germans by constitutional
provision.
This Is the free and independent
Poland" SO loudly acclaimed by the
houses Of Hohenzollern and Haps-
burg. What do the Polish people say
to this benevolent plan?

The Moral Suasion or the Hun.

Our Teuton Enemy has been both
efficient and Industrious in the dis.
semination of lies. He tells his own
people what he hopes 1t may cheer
them to believe; as that New York Ia
under bombardment and that the peo-
pie Of Brooklyn are living In their
cellars. And he tells the Allied peO-
pies what he hopes may weaken their
resolution, as It did momentarily In
Italy and much more seriously and
permanently in Russia. 1t has been
said, indeed not without some color Of
reason, that he has won greater vic.
tories by falsehood than by force Of
arms, by propaganda than he has by
pro1ectiles.
Therefore many optimistic patriots
among us are much concerned with
the counter project of spreading the
light Of truth among the benlghted
people Of the Central Empires. II
the enemy, they argue, can achieve
so much through falsehood, shall not
We by giving the truth equal publicity
cause him to adopt our wiser views,
turn against his mendacious and op-
pressive rulers and make the world
safe for democracy forthwith?
DO not let US be too confident. The
moral suasion of the Hun Is indeed a
contamination devoutly to be wished.
But the truth in all such contests is
heavily handicapped. In the nrst
