Subway Telephones Lacking, Though
New Clock Has Appeared.

To THE EDITOR OF THE suN-sir: Now
that the marlborough has installed .
clock in the Park place station Of the
Seventh avenue subway 1t occurs to me
that q greater need, namely, the in
stsllation Of public telephones in all
subway STATIONS, has not yet been pro-
vided for.
II memory serves me right, the Public
Service Commission more than a year
ago took UP the matter Of public tele-
phones in tho subway. and approved a
contract between the telephone company
and the marlborough. believe the work
Of putting In the telephones was to start
early in January, 1913. and they were
10 be ready for use about six months
after that time. But something has
intsrfsred with the plan, and the result
Ia that the subway stations are still
without telephones. This makes 1t
rather incohvenient for passengers
under some circumstances for instance.
when a person is caught in the rain
without an umbrella and could get one
easily II he could telephone homo from
the station. CENTRAL.

The Dark Side OF the "Farms for
Soldiers" Plan.

What the personal attitude of the re-
turned American soldier viii betoward
the proposal that he go to farming
assuming that he has no fixed job-re-
mains to be seen. Our men are Just
getting back, and the Government has
not perfected plans for putting lands
in the possession Of those who wish
to farm. Meanwhile, lest the enthu-
siasm Of the officials who are heartily
for the scheme everyday itself, it Is
just as we'll to consider what has hap
pened in other countries which of
fered to Set returned soldiers up as
farmers. A man who has experience
in this line is WILLIAM T. II. PRESTON,
formerly inspector of emigration
agencies and commissioner of emil
grafton for the Canadian Government
in Europe. Mr.. PRESTON has an arti-
Gle in Munscy's which shows the dark
side of the harvest moon.
Great Britain went keenly into the
soldiers land proposition, hoping not
only to find work for It's disbanded
soldiers but to retain them within
the empire and to increase the agrl-
cultural wealth Of the colonies. Earl
GREY and Sir RIDER HAGeARD were
1.-THE heads of the movement. Sir
RIDER returned from n tour of the
world to assure London that Canada,
Australia and New Zealand would do
their part. The Ottawa Government
set aside thousands of acres to be free
for veterans. The Canadian Pacific

years ago, and he says so again In an
interview in Berlin.
Instead of encouraging or even
countenancing plots to wreck NUM-
ton plants and disorganlze labor con-
ditlons in American industries, to de-
stroy the Welland Canal, to place in
fernal machines on outgoing steam
ships or to falslfy passports to help
reserve officers home to Germany, the
Count looked upon all these regret
table occurrences as gravely disturb
Ing factors In his important diplo-
matte work in this country.
Those two attaches Of his embassy
whose recall was demanded by the
United States, Captain BoY-ED and
Captain FRANZ Won PAPEN, he dis
owns entirely. They were merely
free lances, who opened offices and
bank accounts Of their own. They
acted Independently the German en-
bassy was only an intermediary in
the transmission of their cables. So
innocent was the Count Of their
deviltry that the contents Of all their
dispatches were unknown to him.
Not a single German plot, he de-
clares, was planned, engineered or
financed at the German ambassa-
dorial offices in Washington. And
as for the unfortunate happeninps
adds the Count, there never was any
knowledge Of them until after they
had been committed" or course the
United States can do as 1t pleases
about believing this But the Count
himself is certain Of his innocence.
His only guilt. he said, was in plotting
to keep this country out of war with
Germany, and from the way that he
went about It the United States might
hesitate to believe that also.

Will the Nobel Prizes ne Distributed

Since the first Nobel prizes were

have been made to individuals in the
five classlficati tons into which the fund
created by the inventor of dynamite
is divided for achievements in physics,
chemistry. medicine. literature and
the promotion of peace. In 1914 no
prizes were given for literature or for
activities in behalf of peace; the next
year medicine and peace prizes were
not conferred; in 1916 only the liter
airy distinction was given; in 1917 the
peace purse went to the Internatio
Red Cross of Geneva, the others not
being awarded. and last year the ad-
ministrators- Of the fund felt obliged
to withhold all prizes.
In the naionalities represented by
the prize men Germany stands first,
though the peace prize has never gone
to German. However, Germans got
twenty-five of the eighty -four awards
or eight more than their nearest COM
petitors, the French, to whom four

Spouse, says Mr.. PRESTON, was Moth

This answer, of course, was not
unanimous. There we're some accep-
tances of the Governments offer, and
Mr.. PRESTON relates that 300 men, to
whom the Ottawa Government ad-
vanced $500 each, took up land in
western Canada. On the other hand,
Of 80 soldiers who had been on farms

Happily, our farms would not be as
badly Off as those of Canada, which
sent 100000 men from her farms to
Europe. The Provost Marshal Gen.

Gated that only about $4,000 young

upon me that the last thing the SOL

japan at the conclusion Of the war
with Russia and he learned that the
young men who left the rice fields to
go to war had largely settled in the
cities as soon as they were out Of
uniform. Mr.. PRESTON was in Great
Britain during a large part of the
great war and he canvassed thousands
Of English and Canadian soldiers on
the subject Of settling down on a
farm, "but almost invariably the reply
was an emphatic negative; only an
infinitesimal percentage Of the SOL
diers viewed the suggestion with any
sort Of favor"
The criticism from this man Of ex-
perience Is not entirely destructive
He believes that the discouraging ex-
