The counter claim Is based largely
on the alleged effects of the block
ade upon the life and health of the
civilian population. 1t is argued
that. roundly, million births were
prevented as a direct result of the
food blockade upon the vitality of the
women. The same cause, 1t is con-
tended increased the deaths approx
mately 100000. Lack of milk for
young children. absence of rubber and
cotton for hospital use and interrupt
ton of supplies of quinine, camphor
and other medicants were further fac
tors in the losses, according to the
German argument.
Should the Germans open this field
of inquiry, the allies are prepared to
reply effectively by reference to the
far greater decrease of births and in
crease Of deaths in France, Belgium,
Poland, Rumania and Serbia, as
direct result of the German war meas
urec.
The allies possess the German Off

production in Germany during the
war was never below forty-five per
cent of the normal production which

The failure of German cities to re-

German system of distribution. Lack

HOPE FoR SEPTEMBER.
Dry Weather May Follow the Rains
Of August.

To THE EDITOR or THE SuN--Sir: Look
ing over the New Bedford records since
the war Of 1912, more than century
ago, we find that the months OF August
and September three times out OF four
have an indicating value as regards
the fall weather.
A dry August has nothing to Go with
the fall, a wet one little more. A wet
August is a pretty good sign OF n dry
September, while dry August. by COM
pairing the weather for the month OF the
year before. has some value. September,
IL wet, usually stands for wet fall and
IL dry for a dry one.
Tho three principal ratios are: Wet
August. dry September. thirty-four years
wet. fourteen. Wet September. wet fall.
thirty years; dry, eleven. Dry Septem-
Der. dry fall. forty-three years; wet,
eighteen,
Wet Augusts may be taken to mean
dry Septembers four times to one; wet
Septembers to include wet falls, six
times to one dry Septembers to start
dry falls, seven times to one.
BY comparison dry Augusts may indi-
cate the weather in September. though
with accuracy of less than two to one,
as follows: II August was dry the year
before September may be predicted to
be the opposite of the September OF
the year before.

THE DOLLARS WORTH.
Further Reduction In It's Purchasing
Power Reported.

To THE EDITOR OF THE SuN-Sir: I
noticed in The SUNS Wall Street news
a man is quoted as saying that dol
lar was now worth but 80 cents, that
being all the value of potatoes and meat
that he procures, when shopping. for the
dollar.
He must have commenced being a
purchaser of such necessary commodl-
ties of recent date or years I'deem
that dollar is almost down to the
value Of 25 cents and even less in its
purchasing power of many articles. 1t
is only a very few years ago when farm
ers were pleased and happy at getting
so cents a bushel for potatoes dug from

ing price.
I have bought many thousands of
bushels Of best potatoes for so cents

with present prices a dollar has shrunk

Mayor Hylan's Place In the City
Advertising Campaign.

The Hylan administrations utiliza-
ton Of police shelters along the road
sides OF Queens Borough for advertls-
ing purposes is an innovation in mu-
nicipal housekeeping which opens n
vide field for development. The city
needs money, and If the Mayor drives
sharp bargain with advertisers he
ought to be able to turn a pretty
penny for 1t by Transforming into bill
boards all the structures, great and
small, owned by The taxpayers.
Police stations, court houses, the
Municipal Building, borough halls, the
Fall OF Records, City Hall itself, city
boats, each should command a hand
some price from any lively promoter
OF advertising. The school house priv
i]ege would be enormously valuable.
Bridges, viaducts, fire plugs, fire
houses, all occupy conspicuous sites,
where the announcements of enter
prising manufacturers would COM
mand attention. Residents of the
rural districts get their barns and
fences painted free of charge for al
lowing pill makers to proclaim their
wares therefrom; the city of New
York certainly might do as well. No
municipal guaranty of the goods ad-
yertised should go with the leases.
This should be understood from the
beginning: caveat emptor.
Nor do the buildings owned by the
city exhaust the possibilities of this
novelty Of progressive government.
Policemen would make splendid sand
witch board men. Unlike the profess
sionals of that calling. who frequently
sneak up dark alleys when they
should be patrolling congested streets,
the men In blue would have to keep
TO their beats Plain clothes men
might display illuminated shirt fronts,
flashing the merits of useful articles.
Firemen bearing banners recommend
Ing patent IRE extinguishers would
have a psychological effect on burned
out householders not to be ignored.

Mr.. wilson's Labor Day Thought.

Mr.. WILSON'S proclamation to labor
Is not enlightening and is extremely
mysterious in its reference to new
basis for the division OF the proceeds
of industrial effort between capitalists
and workers. Meanwhile, If the mill
ions of men and women and boys and
girls who celebrate Labor Day this
year by attending picnics and athletic
meets and by taking a day Off at or
away from their homes would give
a few minutes serious thought to the
significance of this holiday and the
fact that labor is commendable, dig
nified and essential to the well being
of the race and the happiness of the
individuals who compose the race
they will turn an admirable institu-
ton to better purpose than it has
commonly been put.
There is an unwholesome feeling
in certain quarters that labor is some
thing to be avoided, shirked, escaped
in any possible way that Is not posi-
lively illegal. To this feeling good
many OF the major ills Of the world
may be directly or indirectly traced.
To it we owe falling off in production,
scarcity of needed supplies, bad feel
Ing and numerous other factors con-
tributing to the present jumpy condi-
ton of human beings all over the
troubled earth.
Labor itself deserves a respectful
thought on Labor Day.

GIANTS AGAINST YANKS.
Shall There Be a Series to Decide
Which Is the Better Teamf

To THE EDITOR OF THE SuN-Sir: AL
though it is still possible for the Giants
to win the pennant in the National
League their chances OF doing so are
so remote that the majority of the
local baseball enthusiasts have already
conceded the banner to the Clncin-
natl Reds. Only a miracle would keep
Pat Moran's great team from finishing
at the top. and as Moran himself
seems to be a miracle worker there
appears to be little hope for the
proteges of John McGraw. They have
done their best. but that has not been
sufficient
But II New Workers. are to be denied
the privilege OF seeing the world series
staged at the Polo Grounds the alterna-
tive of city series between the Giants
and. Yankees still remains. Already
there are rumors in the air that such
a series will be arranged in the near
future. At least the gossIps have 1t
that the two Colonels-Ruppert and
Huston--are anxious to have their
Yanks play the Giants and have given
their consent to such a meeting. 1t is
obvious, then. that the final say rests
with McGraw. If the latter can be
convinced that the local devotees OF the
national game desire the series It IL
certain that he will decide in the
Affirmative.
Ever since the American League In
vaded New York, the stronghold of the
National League. there has been a diff
ference OF opinion locally as to which
is the stronger team, the Giants or the
Yanks. In the years in which the
Giants won the pennant-the Yanks
have yet to experience that pleasant
sensation--there was no room for argn-
ment; the fans took It for granted that
McGraw's men were the better team.
This year II is different. While both
New York teams seem certain Of An
ishing in the first division. owing to
their admitted strength, It is a difficult
matter for the non-partisan enthusia st
to decide which is the stronger. There
is one way to settle the matter to the
satisfaction OF all, and that is TO have
the issue settled on the field. Then we
shall see whether Home Run Baker is
capable OF driving them into the stands
