In every play the audience is asked
one or more questions. These ques-

rather through the actions of the

the audience answers in the affirma-

ticular player has done through force

German arrogance died hard. He re-
manned seated while delivering his re-
ply to Premier Clemenceau's speech,
whereas the French statesman stood
during his part of the ceremony.
For the Germans President Wilson
alone seemed of absorbing interest.
Almost from the time they assembled
to receive the treaty the eyes of the
Germans were on the President as IL
fascinated. There was a space of sixty
feet between the German and Ameri-
can delegations, and across this the
Germans stared continuously.
The. President is the objective OF the
diplomatic battle the Germans are
waging. To them he typifes all pow
err and it perhaps was for that reason
that he had such a strange fascination
for them.
The interest of the President visibly
heightened when the German leader
began to reply to Premier Clemenceau
charge that it was Germany who start
ed the cruel war. Count Won Brock
dorff- Rantzau during his talk was al
most a pitiful spectacle, but when he
made the charge that the Entente al
lies had caused as many needless
deaths as the Germans there was a
noticeable stir in the assembly.

These people directly affected look

rectly their rents are increasing because
OF the expensive and roundabout
methods present conditions necessitate

The newspapers occasionally score

Had Been Consulted.

Mayor Hylan has declined TO approve
and has returned to Gov. Smith ths
Senate bill which would have abolished
the Police Reserve and would hsv.
created a municipal guard. The bill,
which was opposed by the Police Com
missioner and virtually all police or.
CARNATIONS, was entitled IAN act to Sc
peal Chapter COL OF the Laws of 1917.
entitled AN act TO authorize the Police
Commissioner Of the City of New York
to appoint citizens TO perform duty In
the Police Department Of said city dur
ing the continuance or the state of war
now existing and to amend the Greater
New ork Charter In relation to the
municipal guard of the city Of New

In a memorandum which the Mayor
sent TO the Governor with the bill. he
write
This bill was presented to the au-
thor. I am informed, by n member OF
the Police Reserves OF the city OF New
York. without consultation with the
Mayor, Police Commissioner or the Spe-
cial Deputy Police Commissioner In
charge of the Police Reserves.
There are Objectionable features to
this bill which might have been elim-
mated had the author of the bill COIL
suited the Police Commissioner and Spe-
cial Deputy Commissioner in charge OF
this force.
THE Police Reserves rendered efficient
and patriotic service during the war,
and in my opinion should be continued.
Too much cannot be said in praise OF
their work. without compensation,
without thought of loss of time which
they incurred. these men and women
have given their service to the city in a
spirit that calls for the highest praise
and commendation.
They have been guided in their work
by man of the highest ideals and whose
force Of character has made itself felt
in the rank and file of the Police Re-
serves. To Rodman Wanamaker. Spe-
cial Deputy Police Commissioner. the
