MYERS

We regret to report that the con-
dition of Esq. Noah C. Bible remaina
unchanged. He is in very bad health.
Mr.. Graham, who purchased the
Farnsworth farm here, is preparing
to move his family here in the near
future.
Your scribe and family spent Sat
urday night with Willie Bible and
children. His son, Cecil, has been
right sick for the past few days, but
is some better at this time. Also Mr..
W. E. Hendry and family, of Mos
helm, spent the evening with Mr. BIZ
BILE and children.
Mr.. G.. F. Harmon is back on his
! lob, to the delight of his many friends
here.
In conversation with Mr. Lyon a
few days ago, he tells US that hin
large new printing press has been
shipped, and that he would be able
! to give US better paper when same
was installed. But what we started
to say is, that the cost of running a
newspaper has increased more in pro-
portion than most anything else, and
at this time the Sun is in need of
money. So for few days only YOU
can get The Daily Sun on whole year
for the small sum of only $500. Help
out now; we all know that $500 a
year for the Sun is like getting SUI
gar for four cents a pound. This is
no Joke. can it in all seriousness,
Send the Sun $500 and have your
subscription extended whole year
Do it now, please, or hand it to me-
and we will be only too glad to send
or take it in, and receipt you for it.
You'll be paying at least $4.O0 for
The Sun and perhaps more, this time
4 next year.
Mr.. and Mrs. Noah Ellenburg and
children, of 0. c. Chapel, spent Sat
urday and Sunday here the guest of
relatives.
We have /, 2, 3, barns of bur
lev tobacco. If the pin-hookers want
it let them come forward. TIL sell
them the whole thing, lock, stock and
all for less than 80 cents the pound.
The Misses Barlow, of Mosheim,
we're guests of Mrs. C. c. Bible Sat
urday and Sunday.
Rev. NJ. G. Price, of Mosheim.
preached very able sermon at the
Union church here Sunday morning.

DRYDoCKS IN QUAKER CITY,
Nation VIII Build Them II Private
Interests Do Not Act.
From ia. pA'lsesipAis Public Ledger.


Drydocks for Philadelphia are now
assured. Ard Il 81 quite -smA that
they will be built by Philadelphia capt.
tai In spite OF repeated assertions by
officials OF the Emergency Fleet Corpo-
ration that financial men of the city had
looked upon the project with scepticism.
Howard Coonley. vice president of the
Shipping Board. said yesterday that the
erection OF three drydooks here was a
certainty; that he thought It possible
that the transaction would be put
through with private capital and that
regardless OF this. the docks were as
sured because II after March it definite
action has not been taken by local
financial interests the Government will
at that time begin dredging at the navy
yard, where the drydocks win be
located.
IT have recently had conference
with William e, Law and William J.
Conlin. both OF the port facilities COM
mittee of thu Chamber OF Commerce
which gives promise OF bearing fruit"
said Mr.. Coonley. I'VE still have the
matter under advisement and the time
limit for the action by local interests,
originally set for March /. has been ex-
tended TO March l5 to give the COM
mittee more time to become thoroughly
acquainted with the situation before
It acts"
Mr.. Coonley believes II would be
vastly better for drydocks TO be erected
and maintained at the port of Philadt~
phia by private interests. but In the
event of failure to successfully float
the project the Government itself will
Immediately go ahead with the con-
struction.

handing men. Men, trained or un.
trained, equipped or unequipped, he
declared to be the immediate, press
ing need Of the Allies. He pleaded,
urged. explained, and the burden OF
his message was men, men, men. More
over, he had the support of all the
other foreign military authorities. and
there remained nothing for us to do
except to send men.
Thus, instead of waiting a year to
begin the overseas troop movement
we began 1t at once, and necessarily.
This unfortunately took many un-
trained men, and 1t took many trained
regulars, who, It had been intended,
should be kept here as instructors.
The American troops who paraded In
Paris on July 4, 1917, were largely
recruits; we boosted later Of one draft

dent called for registration under the
selective service act.
Under these conditions the United
States sent its men to France, not
because our professional soldiers or
any other country's professional SOL
diers thought they were trained, but
because the high command Of the Al
lies demanded men. 1t was not
American army officers who talked of
native grit outweighing training; 1t
was not West Point that chartered
about one American licking half a
dozen Germans. That sort of folly
came from others. But It was pro-
fessional soldiers who made the best

their own plans to the grim require
ments of desperate situation ard
set In motion the food of men who,
armed somehow. somewhere, trained
somehow, somewhere, added the
strength the Allies needed to beat the
German army back and win the war
in the summer and fall of 1918, six
months before professional American
soldiers had expected to begin their
tirst great military movement. year
before the most sanguine expected
victory to be achieved, and with losses
in dead. wounded and captured in
finitely below what the most optimis-
tic calculated on.
We have passed the peak of emo
tional exaltation. We are in the back
wash Of depression. We are entering
on a period of criticism, exposure and
recrimlnation. This is all inevitable.
But in the ensuing time Of lamenta-
ton and accusation let us be just to
our professional soldiers, let us re-
member how the regulars fought, and
let us always bear In mind that
WOODROW WILSON kept us unprepared
for war, and fate deprived us Of the
time to train after We entered the
struggle.

Judge Mayors Receivers.

The traction eituation in New York
city has been reduced to financial
chaos by internal and external infiu-
ences which have put the Brooklyn
Rapid Transit and the marlborough
Consolidated Corporation In the
hands of receivers.
The arrangements OF the corpora
tons are partly TO blame; the State
and municipal governments are partly
to NAME; -<AS pns& itself Is partly
TO blame.
The progressive impairment OF the
corporation treasures has been n
matter Of notorlety for years. The
consequent deterioration of their ser.
vices has affected 100000 persons
every day OF their lives.
The plight of the owners of the
roads must not be spoken of; the
singular state of public temper to-
ward them is revealed in the fact
that nobody dares to raise a voice In
their behalf when their holdings are
deliberately transformed from assets
into liabilities.
All that can be said now is that
events have reached their Inevitable
elimination In the bankruptcies with
which the court must deal; and this
community is singularly fortunate In
having Judge MAYER to protect all
the interests concerned. He has Sc
lected gentlemen Of unlmpeachable
honesty, great ability and high re-
pute to act as receivers, Judge GAA-
RIsoS to salve what can be salved Of
the Brooklyn Rapid Transit. Judge
Hedges to do the same for the New
York Railways Company and JAMES
r. SHEFFIELD for the marlborough.
Judge MAYER has done more: he
has set himself firmly against the an

Readers of THE Sun who have en-
Joyed the reminiscent letters of FRANK
DUMoNr on matters OF the theatre
will regret 10 learn of the death Of
that veteran. perhaps the last OF the
old fashioned MINISTRIES who had their
own theatres as we'll as their own
companies. Mr.. DUMoNT, who was a
boy singer with GEORGE CERIsTr's
troupe at 5S5 Broadway before the
civil war. made Philadelphia his head
quarters from 1882 until his death. At
70 he was as much interested in his
business as he had been at II. FRANK
DuMoNr is also remembered by the
atregoers OF the last generation as a
playwright He wrote The Rain
makers" for DoNNE1Lr and GIRARp,
Marked for Life" and a dozen other
dramas now generally forgotten.

Spring.

Spring is here, having arrived in
perfect vernal condition.
1t is a spring to be taken advantage
Of for several reasons.
1t Is the first peaceful spring since
that of 1914.
1t Is the last spring for book beer,
assuming that that dark nectar Is
intoxicating.
1t Is the last spring for May wine.
assuming that the delectable stuff with
the waldmelster flavor is intoxicating
as has been averred.
Spring itself Is an intoxicant. but no

In the matter OF this transoceanic
aerial flight there is of course no
precedent; but the voyages OF COLUMN
BUS and the American steamship
Savannah can be looked upon as the
logical precursors OF the impending
great event in interhemisphere trans
portat!oa. Since the days OF the
Genoese navigator human credence
has kept pace with human progress
COLUMBUS met derision and scorn, the
sponsors for the Savannah encoun-
tered scepticism, but to-day there can
be said to be almost absolute faith in
the success of the trial which will
revolutionize methods of transporta-
ton once again.

A Message on the Wilson League
From q Fighting Roosevelt.


To THE EDiron OF TIE SuN--sir: Many
Of us who were in France or were lying
wounded in the hospitals In the United
| States are now wearing civilian clothes
and have the right of free speech. We
have returned to life that seems new
and strange. and we are mystifed by the
events following In the wake OF the war.
We find President demanding and
receiving the absolute obedience required
| In time of war only in the front line /;
but unlike the officers in the front llne
he will listen to no suggestions from the
| rank and file. We are amazed at his
having the insolence to career over TO
Europe to tell our friends and foes that
a large majority Of the American people
are united behind him and his plan for
his League Of Nations. The majority Of
the American people are not behind him.
Most of us--and believe / am a fair
ga mple of the average American--have
no idea what the language of Mr.. Will
sons covenant means.
We want timo TO Talk the matter over.
and to see what we can do for other ma
tons without running our own nation.
1t will do but little good IL. by helping
the Czecho-Slovaks or the Armenians
to keep their freedom, we subject our
country and the Western Hemisphere to
tire mandates of alien Powers.
Yet while we want to talk over the
| league. to clarity our ideas and TO have
time to choose and select what we want
to do In regard to our future interna-
tional relations, at the same time we
want an immediate peace. which will
restore the world TO normal conditions.
and render the clustering, bullying,
cringing German entirely impotent.
The solution seems no self-evident
that 1 hesitate to mention II. Let us
make peace Immediately. and after hav-
ing made our peace let us convene n
council of representative men OF the
allied nations for the purpose of Great
.nE league OF nations which will strive
TO limit wars in the future.
Before we sign or agree to any league
of nations we must solemnly VOW to
ourselves to live up to the letter and
the spirit of any international agreement
we make. We must be very careful to
mako no agreement which we cannot
live UP to. We must never share with
