LUSlTANlA CLAIMS

THE Cunard Steamship Company has
been finally absolved by the United
States District Court of responsibility
for loss of life and property by the sink
ing of the Lusitania. 1t has decreed that
the sinking was caused by "the illegal
act of the imperial German Government
acting through its instrument, the sub
marine commander" and has intimated
that reparation is to be sought from the
German Government through indemni-
ties collected by the United States Gov
ernment.
This decision commends itself to the
sense of justice and fair play. All that
remains now is for the government to
adjust the claims of those who were in
jured by the sinking of the ship and to
reimburse them out of the German prop
erty now in the possession of the alien
property custodian. This property now
amounts to about half billion dollars.
The Lusitania claims are between five
million and six million dollars. They
will ultimately be paid, for public senti-
ment will not tolerate the delay which
has characterized the settlement of past
claims for damages suffered in war.

WHERE IS OUR CIVIC PRIDE?

rs PHILADELPHIA really viifed
L when outsiders call her backward and
apathetic?
The plight of the Phipps Institute gives
the sting of warranty to such criticism.
Its philanthropic founder agreed to sup
port the combined hospital and research
institution for ten years with an annual
donation of $4,000.
The city rejoiced in its acquisition
during the endowment term. Neglect
followed the cessation of the comfortable
decade of funds.
The hospital is out of commission. The
University of Pennsylvania, of which the
Phipps laboratory now constitutes a de-
partment, is unable to provide for the
upkeep. The institute is doomed to go
out of existence unless substantial aid
is speedily secured
At the moment when our medical emf
nence is so seriously overshadowed by
the comprehensive plans of New York to
win first place, the decay of the Phipps
institution is especially significant. 1t
can be saved if our civic self-respect is
greater than detractors say it is. Is it

RED TAPES GOOD JOB

pED TAPE is the most friendless of

occupants.
None the less, checks, counter-checks,
Identification schemes, tagging and all
the elaborate paraphernalia of red tapery
did execute one extraordinary job in the
world conflict. Fair play demands recog-
milton of the fact.
The governments official records show
that of all the millions who shouldered
arms for the United States the fate of
but forty of the men actually in action
remains a complete mystery. Of the
| nearly five thousand American prisoners
made by Germany, but twenty-one defy

The battle mysteries of France number
more than 100000 and of Britain more
| than 100000. Pretentious systems of
efficiency are logical food for satire.
Often the government moves in a rec
ondite way its superfuities to perform.
But even red tape should have its

REGISTRY RUSH

THAT was a disgraceful scene in the
l. City Hall yesterday when three thou
sand voters crowded the offices of the
registration commissioners on what was
said to be report that their names were
fraudulently to be kept from the voting
lists.
The commissioners are sworn to make
an honest list. Every qualified voter is
entitled to have his name on it. If there
lis feeling anywhere that it is to be made
difficult for voters to qualify it is the
duty of the commission to remove that
feeling at once by proclamation set
ting forth what constitutes qualification
under the law and its determination to
obey the letter and the spirit of the
statute.
8 The talk about one faction stealing a
march on another faction is unpleasant
at time when it was supposed that all
excuse for attempting such tactics had
been removed.

as the price of her help, and Japan was
unwilling to forego the pound Of flesh.
But no such reasons bound Mr.. Wilson
and the people of the United States.
There must have been some other motive,
some vitality impelling fact which has not
been revealed. Was it fear that japan
would form an unholy alliance with Ger
many? Was it fear that japan would
stand out against league of nations?
Was it fear that japan was brave enough
self-reliant enough, to defy the rest Of
the world for the sake of bit of foreign
land? Was it because Japan has orally
promised to treat this bit of China as we
have the Philippines and benevolently
foster government, although the
treaty makes no such provision? These
are merely suggestions, not inferences,
to show that variety of causes properly
and authoritatively pointed out may put
different face on the matter. But what
ever the reason, Mr.. President, the time
has come to reveal it.

NEW SHIP LINE

nEF1N1TE prospects of the diversion
~ to this port of thirty-five cargo YES
sells in foreign trade are only mildly COM
plimentary to Philadelphia business en-
terprise.
The Brooks Steamship Company is
transferring its service here because of
specific natural conveniences and finan-
cial compensations. 1t is stated that
wharf which would cost $500 day in
New York can be secured here for only
SIT day. Virtually no lightering is re-
/ quired. Motortrucks can be backed up
/ to the side of a ship.
~ With these advantages and numerous
! others Philadelphians are inclined to
!, thrill when even a baby boom hits the
ports commerce. The attitude is but i'm
. perfectly reflective of the true signifi-
canoe of the situation.
The city ought to command an i'm
mensely greater volume of sea-borne
, trade than it does now. What it needs is
energetic development of resources, a
really comprehensive vision of their pos
: sibilities. The gains that the port does
make are in no way commensurate with
what the right sort of hustling could
: bring.
I, Something is clearly lacking if with al
our superiority over our rivals we still
lag so far behind them. Progress in drib
lets, however welcome, won't make up thu
difference.

INFLATED DOLLARS

T>HE prices of food and clothing and
X = coal and house rent are higher in
Europe and America than they were five
I years ago. Wages are higher and work.
ingmen are demanding that they be in
creased still more. And no one knows
what the end is.
IN But Of one thing we may be certain,
and that is that prices will not go down
SO long as wartime imitation continues
There is more money in circulation to-
,frday than there ever was before.
The total circulating medium of the
whole world on January 1, 1912, was
VI about eleven billion dollars. This in
! cluded gold and silver and paper.
There was in circulation in the United
8 States, France, Germany, Austria
Hungary and Italy on January /, 1918,
: twenty-two and half billion dollars
- worth of paper. In these five countries
g when the war began the paper money in
circulation amounted to about two and
fAa1f billion dollars.

there cannot be imitation of currency
without imitation of prices.

TAY COOKE will never be able to escape
his reputation as federal food admins

front him all through life; particularly
whenever an economic crisis arises that. de-
mands courage, fearlessness in the discharge
of a duty, and a stout heart to guide in an
emergency. ...
His management of the ice situation in
Philadelphia in 1918 was one of the founda-
ton stones on which his reputation was
built. He deserved the encomiums that came
to him. He kept the price of ice at normal
figure. Every effort was put forth TO see
that the poorer people were supplied. In
crowded sections he established ice stations
on the leash and carry" plan, and he in
duced dealers to enter into an agreement
that any profiteer would be denied ice during
the entire summer. His plan was put into
operation in every city of the state.
This was only possible because he knew
the game. Dealers and manufacturers alike
were aware that he knew it. Furthermore
they realized that there was no use going up
against q determined man who held all the
trumps.
It was natural when the present ice short
age became imminent that Doctor krusen
and the other city authorities should seek the
advice of the one man who had had expert

pealed to they said:

The jay Cooke of thACivil War era, the
financier of the government in those parlous
times, was the grandfather of the Jay Cooke

turn to the man who had piloted not only
Philadelphia but the entire state through
similar ordeal. Again the inspiring
words:

The Celestial Army

T STOOD by the open easement
l. And looked upon the night
And saw the westward going stars
Pass slowly out of sight.
Slowly the bright procession
Went down the cleaning arch,
And my soul discerned the music
Of their long triumphal march.
Till the great celestial army,
Stretching far beyond the poles,
Became the eternal symbol
OF the mighty march of souls.
Onward, forever onward,
Red Mars led down his clan;
And the moon, like a mailed maiden,
Was riding in the van.
And some were bright in beauty, =.
And some were faint and small,
But these might be in their great height
The noblest OF them all.
Downward, forever downward,
Behind. Earth's dusky shore
They passed into the unknown night,
They passed and were no more.
No more! Oh, say not so!
And downward is not just;
For the sight is weak and the sense is dim
That looks through heated dust.
And though the hills of Death
May hide the bright array,
The marshaled brotherhood of souls.
Still keeps its upward way
And long let me remember,
That the palest faintest one
May to the diviner vision be
A bright and blazing sun.

Locking the Stable

The proprietors of the
Locking the Stable warehouse in which
six fremen were killed
have been arrested. They are charged with
operating a rag shop without license and
are liable to a fine of $25! But when they
were ordered last March TO remove the rags
from the warehouse why did not some one
see to it that the order was obeysa? 1t looks
as IL it might be profitable to conduct an
investigation in this direction as well as into
the origin of the fire.
