Ready for Emerqency

WASHINGTON, July .5.-Contact with the British dirigible, R-34, whose calls for help continued to grow more urgent all day as she neared the finish of her trans Atlantic journey only to find gasoline and sustaining hydrogen gas were exhausted, was established tonight at 11:40 by the destroyer Ban croft of the United States navy. The Bancroft at that hour, according to messages which reached the navy de- partment, was trailing the dirigible as it proceeded southwest across the Gulf of Maine. The R-34 still was under her own power.
 Naval observers said the destroyer probably would stand by the dirigible until daylight, calling the Stevens to her assistance. No attempt to take the air ship in tow or to refuel would be possible until then, it was said If the vessel has gas and fuel enough to sustain derself until she can reach Bos- ton, it is expected that no attempt will be made to resupply her at sea.
 Fuel Supply Low
 A message from the Bancroft to the eommandant of the first naval dis trict, forwarded to the navy depart ment at 12:30 a. m. Sunday, indicated that the R34s fuel supply will hold out until the dirigible reaches Chat ham, Mass.
 The message reads as follows:
 Position 4251 north, 6S.04 west Heading for Chatham. Speed 23 or 24 knots. R-34 thinks fuel will hold out. .
 Another message, evidently sent from the Bancroft to the R-34 and in- tercepted by Otter Cliff radio station said:
 We see you are heading for Chat ham. Course 230 true. Speed 23 knots Keep me informed of your movements
 The new positions of the R-34, as given in the Bancroft's dispatch, shows that the dirigib1e is making steady progress toward Boston and was al the time the dispatch was filed about l15 miles from it's objective. At the rate the R-34 is travelling it should cover the distance in five hours. whicl would bring it over Chatham tIetWeei and S o'clock Sunday sss sssss Orders were sent late tonighf u tn, commandant of the first district a Boston sto get out everything availabl, immediately" in an effort to rendel assistance to the dirigible

Destroyers Aid in Search

WASHINGTON, July 5.-Available naval vessels at the Boston navy yard put to sea tonight in an effort to get into touch with the R-34.
 The message from the R-34 asking for help and saying she was making for Boston, was broadcasted tonight by the navy department to all vessels in the vicinity of the Bay of Fundy.
 The orders sent by Rear Admiral Benson, chief of naval operations, and acting secretary of the navy, said:
 Communicate with all stations along the Maine coast. Get out everything available immediately and get in touch with and keep in touch with R-34. Render every assistance possible. Keep department informed of action"

MOVING TO EXPEDITE
FINAL BEER DECISION
Counsel on Both Sides to Ask
for Extra Circuit Term.

United States Attorney Francis G.
Caffey and William d. Guthrie. attor-
ney for the brewing companies which
have instituted suits against the Govern
ment in an effort to establish that 2.75
per cent. beer is not an intoxicant, will
appear In the United States Circuit
Court of Appeals to-day and ask that
the court hold an extraordinary term to
hear an appeal which the Government
will take at once from the decision of
last Friday, by which the brewers OBJ
tained a temporary injunction restrain
ing Government officials from interfer-
ing with the manufacture OF the beer.
The purpose Is to obtain a ruling by
the appellate tribunal as soon as possible
80 as to permit the questions involved
to go before the United States Supreme
Court before July l, the date on which
the food conservation law goes into ef-
feet
Mr.. Caffey and Mr.. Guthrie appeared
before Judge Mayer yesterday and were
heard as to the form of order which
should be entered under his ruling last
Friday. He signed a separate order for
the benefit of each OF the brewers who
are suing, providing that either party to
any one of the actions may move to
have a day set for trial on Ave days no.
tice. The suits will be pressed for trial
before July regardless OF the appeal
from the Injunction orders.

Homer to the Man who Can Change
HIS Mind From Wrong to Right

About Ave months ago Secretary
DANIELS went before the House Com
mittee on Naval Affairs and advo-
Gated a policy of enlargement which
would have cost the Treasury and the
taxpayers hundreds of millions Of
dollars-billions, probably, before the
job was done-in the foolish and use
less effort to surpass even Great
Britain's sea power. THE SUN spoke
plainly then and afterwards about this
crazy performance. Perhaps no more
preposterous recommendation ever
came from responsible administrative
authority, II We consider the world
situation and the present status Of
the armament question.
Yesterday, we are glad to report,
Secretary DANIELS went to the mem
bers of the House Naval Committee
and asked them to send to the limbo
Of abandoned follies his ten battle
ship and ten scout cruiser programme
1t makes little difference either to
THE Sun or to an applauding nation
what cause has produced this dia-
metrical change In the Secretary's
view of naval policy. The main thing
to us Is the fact that he has changed
from wrong to right; and We con-
graduate him heartily.
The demerit of the abandoned pro-
posal and the merit Of its utter aban-
donment by Secretary DANIELS bear
no real relation to the question of
the covenant and the League of Ma
lions. If no league had been visible
the credit due to the Hon. JosEPHUs
DANIELS for his unshrinking return
from nonsense to common sense would
have been neither more nor less than
1t is this morning.

1t has been said that some Of the
enterprising youths who sell news
papers on our streets carry on their
trade with the public and with each
other by the use of not more than a
hundred words; that a class of our
illiterates are able to make their
wants and prejudices known and to
express some opinions by using less
than three hundred words; that n
large class of people, not all illiterates,
use not more than four or FIVE hun
dred words, which enable them to ex-
press many human emotions, dispute
on topics which interest them, and
upon occasion, a soap box being con-
venient. to dogmatize on subjects Of
many complexities with force and
volubility.
A thousand words, 1t is said, serve
the business and social purposes Of
many admirable citizens who would
resent the charge that they possess
but scant vocabularies. DICKENS,
some searcher has recorded, used but
ten thousand different words in all
his published writings. We do not
know. and are content to pass on to

THE WAY WOMEN LOOK AT
OTHER WOMEN.
One Woman's Comment, Inspired by
the Night Work Law.

To THE EDITOR OF THE SuN-Str: The
female uplifters generally consider
themselves feminists, but the uplifters
responsible for the passage of the Lock-
wood Caulfeld bill. restricting tho en-
ployment OF women on street railways,
are the most old fashioned type of
women. The fact that they use what
power they have for the purpose of en-
shaving other women shows the effect OF
generations Of political and economic
slavery behind their sex. They are Of
the sheltered class, with no practical
business experience beyond the super
vision of their own housemaids. But
the women who are responsible for their
own living have taken a step in ad-
vance.
Unlike the reformers. they have
earned their right to independence. Be-
sides, the fear Of losing their Jobs.
especially when the Jobs are good ones
has made It necessary for them to think
Of consequences before acting on their
impulses. This necessity. which the up
litter has obviously never felt, is what
has made responsible adults OF the work.
ing women. They asked for the right
OF suffrage because they resented being
classed politically with children.
They resent the same classification in
industry. They resent the impertinent
patronage of the otherwise idle reform
ers who have now taken II on them
selves to get their hours shortened and
changed here and there without con-
sulting any one. Working women think
that these self-appointed guardians of
theirs had better go home and mind
their own business.

creator Of the Pickwick Club used
more or fewer words in setting down
his fascinating tales.
These speculatlons arose from read
ing Mr.. WILSON'S cabled message to
the Congress. We have wondered II
all his phrases met with quick and
clear comprehension in the minds OF
the millions who read them, or wheth-
er the interest in what Mr.. WILSON
says depended on small, In some
cases on no, understanding of his
words. When he spoke publicly in
Rome, in Paris, not a hearer, practi-
cally, understood a single word he
said, yet multitudes applauded his ut
terances with cheerful vigor.
In some degree, then. IL must be
that when he speaks Mr.. WILSON
arouses public interest by some factor
other than full popular understand
ing of his words; as when he ad
dresses the Congress, and through the
Congress all Americans. Do all who
read, or listen as others read, wholly
and instantly understand Mr.. Wilson
when he says:
THE great processes of sustaining
populations and winning successes
amidst commercial and Industrial
rivalries. A genuine cooperation and
partnership based upon a real COM
munity OF interest and participation
in control. The organization OF in
dustry Is a matter Of corporate and
individual initiative. Agencies Of in
ternational council and suggestion
are presently to be created. Pecu-
liar and very stimulating conditions
await our commerce and industrial
enterprise. The instruments neces-
sary for the assurance OF equal and
equitable treatment. Accentuated
foreign competition. Make these in
dispensable instrumentalities OF our
mated system. The scientific means
by which communications by such
instrumentalities could be rendered
more thorough and satisfactory"
1t would indeed be a reason TO
very real satisfaction to us II W,

RAILROAD TICKET RULES.
A Traveller Who Missed q Train Gives
Warning to Others.

To THE EDITOR OF THE SuN--Sir: I
wish solemnly to warn your readers
against ever puVehaslng railroad tickets
at any office save the one at the terminal
from which the expected departure is to
be made. To purchase transportation at
any of the so-calied consolidated ticket
Offices established by the Railroad Ad-
ministra alton for the convenience Of the

omy, is a grievous error.
recently planned to depart from New
York on a train leaving the Pennsyl-
vania Station at 6 :02 P. NJ. started
from my office in ample time to catch the
train. but was delayed in traffic con-
gestion due to Polish demonstration in
the nature of a parade. And with
rarades New York has been literally
blessed during the past few weeks. I
reached the station as the train was
pulling out.
then inquired at the ticket office
when the next train left for the West.
] was advised the time was 8 80 p. NJ.
Were my tickets good on that train
They were not. Would the ticket agent
be good enough to make the indicated
exchange? He could not, because the
tickets had been purchased in the
Railroad Administration ONCE In Thir-
ty-second street, and that was a
bailiwick foreign to the potentates at
the terminal What must be done?
must buy new tickets and redeem the
others In the far distant future. The
tickets could. however. be exchanged al
the Thirty-second street Office. Was that
office open? No. It was closed. Sup
pose I did not have enough money &c
purchase new tickets? Then must stay
at home.
The upshot was that new tickets were
purchased.
So beware! The obligations OF the
Railroad Administration are not valid ,ir
any other ONCE than the one in which
they were purchased. We must bow tc
necessity. however. for this regulation II

Tumulty on ID urlesOn.

The farmers who are reported as
having said after an interview in the
executive offices Of the White House
that Secretary TuMULTY "intimated
that as soon as President WILSON re-
turned Mr.. BURIEsoS would be asked
to resign" appear to be poor judges
Of intimations.
Secretary TUMuLrY may have inti-
mated to the visiting farmers. and
probably did, that he was mighty
glad to see them; that 1t was, indeed,
a wet spring. but he hoped that crops
would not be injured; that Washing
ton was always lovely in May; that
he would be delighted to have the
war workers homes in Potomac Park
removed so that the Lincoln Memorial
could be seen by others than airmen /;
that the roads between Washington
and Baltimore needed repairs, but a
good car could, in an emergency,
make the round trip in three or four
hours; that he always wanted to be
farmer, but being from Hudson
county he Just couldn't keep out of
politics long enough to prune the
watermelon vines; that he hoped that
they would see the Pan-American
building and the Congressional Ii
brary and call again any time they
happened to be in town.
All these limitations the Hon. Jo-
sEPH may have made, but as to any
intimation that his boss would fire the
Postmaster General-Never!
