An alert traffic squad stands guard

From the Narrows to Spuyten Duyvil
and beyond the marine traffic problem
la unusually complicated. Scores of
great liners are arriving daily with
their last loads of returning soldiers.
Room must be found for them until
they are made ready for their accus-
toned pre-war activities. The docking
space gave out long ago and the i'm
mense harbor tonnage must find room
in the regular anchorages. The Fifth
avenue traffic cop these days has moth
ing on the harbor police regulating
traffic.
The map indicating the spacious an
chorages makes the harbor seem
strangely unfamiliar. The channels
reserved for harbor traffic are surpris-
ingly narrow, while by far the greater
area is reserved for anchored ships.

authority Of the traffic policeman of
the harbor like that OF the cop at the
street corner, is for the moment abso-
lutte. A wave Of the hand is sufficient
to make the largest steamer move
on" even If it must pull up its anchor
to do so. The penalties are severe.
The traffic problem in New York
harbor is unprecedented. 1t is not un-
common in these busy days for more
than $50 oceangoing ships to be at
anchor at the same time within the
harbor's boundaries. None of these
ships is small. To gain some idea of
the bulk of shipping this represents
the layman should consider that this
fleet placed end to end would measure
more than ten miles in length, while
the tonnage is measured by millions.
The value of this great fleet and its
cargo is fabulous. No such wealth of
floating property ever has been assem-
bled before in history.

In later years there has happily been
no need of resorting to the adventi-
tious aid of pictures in order to gain
a hearing, but his artists instinct
crops out in those graphic little
sketches of his personal correspon-
dence, while in the making of the
scenario of some of his stories, for ex-
ample, 1.-THE Two Van Revels," draw
ings have frequently taken the place
OF words in visualizing scenes and
characters.
The Early Harrington Books.
"The Two Van Revels" was pub
iished after Booth Harrington had
won his audience through the sue
cesses of 1.-THE Gentleman from Indi-
ana" and Monsieur Beaucaire." Yet
the germ OF "The Two Van Revels"
was a short story of two thousand
words written many years before. In
form anything like the form in
which 1t ultimately appeared between
covers THE Gentleman from Indiana"
was not begun until 1898. Yet as early
as 1898 the author had written 10000
words OF a tale about a young college
graduate who became a country edi-
tor IN a town very much like the
Plattsville OF the story. The early
narrative came to an abrupt end when
the hero was in the middle of a walk,
the author being unable to carry him
a step further. In fact. one part O
the story had an even earlier origin.
The circus scene, one of the best de-
scriptive chapters OF the book. APP
peared in a Princeton college publica-
ton when the author was still an
undergraduate.
For year or two after writing THE
Two Van Revels" Mr.. Tarkingtons
activities were diverted TO the politi-
cal field, where. incidentally, he found
the material for a number OF stories
which were collected under the title

The years may have wrought some
change, but fundamentally it is the
same "Tark" that Paris knew, and the
island Of Capri knew and half doz-
en- clubs OF New York and Indian
apolis and Princeton have known, who
is writing hard as he plays hard in his
summer home In Kennebunkport, Me-.
and his winter home in Indiana polls,
with every year a month or two of his
adored Princeton in between.
The worker, toiling unremittingly
over the sentences that sparkle so
brightly and read so easily, is a per-
son whom only few really know.

thorities. The doctors rounds begin
promptly at $3.50. Then the ships, one
by one, are free to proceed to their
docks and anchorages up the harbor.
Left to themselves this great mass of
shipping would soon be one dangerous
ly entangled and traffic jams would
close the channels.
The incoming ships proceed first to
the broad anchorages below the Statue
OF Liberty. Here is ample room for
any feet which may be collected over
night and in this position they are out
of thekway of the regular harbor traf-
fic. The harbor traffic squad now be-
gins to sort them out and send them
about their business. The squad is on
the joo early in the morning and every
morning, no matter what the weather,
the incoming boats are assigned to
their anchorages by the traffic men as
early as possible and proceed on their
way. BY cleaning out this temporary

problem. They are deeply in earnest
concerning this race problem, but il is
hardly necessary to say that they do

LeVe in revolution, they do not believe
In retaliation-they do believe in self
defence. They believe that it is wrong
TO let mobs and lynchers have their

pendence upon the essential decency
and sense of justice of the American
nation, and they ask the American ma

y North, president of the Fed Fed,
Grated Council of the Churches
Of Christ in America, issued a call to
the members of the Home Niissions
Council and the Federal Council OF
Negro Churches for a discussion or
the racial situation. 1t was held ir
this city and issued n statement ano
recommendations on the present RAJ
cial crisis. Included was the follow
ing:
I'VE call upon men and women
everywhere to protect the sanctity OF
home and womanhood, We record
with satisfaction the growing enlist
ment OF negro leaders in programme
of education and Christianization such
as tends to prevent crimes that pro-
woke mob violence.
1.-THE home of the negro should re-
ceive the same measure of respect and
protection as that of other Ameri-
cans, and the sanctity of his home
relations should b. safeguarded in
every possible way. Swift and i'm
partial action OF the law should strike
the violator of any home, white or
black.
1--WE recommend that the Governor
OF each State appoint standing COM
mittee for the careful study OF the
causes underlying race. friction with
a view to their removal and that Con-
gress be requested through a nom
partisan committee TO investigate the
disturbed and threatening inter- racial
situation throu ghout tlIe nation"

were some sixty-five or seventy of
these share troopers who desired us
to represent them. If it's "A crime t.
represent people in an effort to make
honest settlements. then he has COM
mitted crime. If this is crime in
q country where We nave been spend
ing our money and the lives of our
boys to make the country safe for
democracy, we do not understand what
the word means"
There is no evidence that the negroes
planned an uprising. There is evil
dence that they formed a labor union
THE Progressive Farmers and House
hold Union" to raise wages. buy land
and protect themselves. Several white
men and negroes were fired on from
ambush. No one knows who did the
firing and not a single negro has been
proven guilty OF it. These are the
facts and on this basis twenty-five
negroes are reported dead and 2SE
under arrest.
All these things, together with the
, taunts of Southerners in Congress anC
in their papers throughout the South
have aroused negroes as never before
Without doubt there is appearing
among the negroes new radica
element such as has not been hitherto
known. We who for twenty-five year,
have been called the radicals wero not
in fact radical at all, The things thai
we We're demanding were rights which
! every white American and every white
European insists upon as a matter Of
course-the right TO vote, the right e
travel. the right to education, the righ
to trial by jury and ordinary civil
rights.
The New Negro Radicals.
The new radicals who are appearing
| among negroes are in fighting mood
but they are as yet small In number
young in years and their only signifi

their deep feeling of resentment, witt
the appearance of this radical grouI

another group of negroes upon whom
the white South has placed great de
pendence. They We're known amonl
colored people as white folks mig
gers" and their business was to sootl
the rutfied feelings of the colored peo
pie and to tiatter the arrogance OF tn,
i, white people. Negroes We're told tina
duties came before rights and that they
were asking for more than they de
served. Whites were assured that the
! negroes wanted nothing but the RICH
! to work at such wages as the whit,
people wished TO give them. This elias.
of negro is rapidly disappearing. ant
no one ought to be more thankful fol-
this than white Southerners. because
it was they more than any other foil
who blinded him to the seriousness o
the race problem and TO the real jus
tice OF the negroes position.
