THEY WILL COME BACK

" HOUSANDS of alien laborers
are returning to their native
countries and the danger of
manpower in the industries and on
public work grows apace. These
foreign-born people have managed
to save few hundred dollars each
and on arriving in the homeland,
they are Immediately classed as
nabobs. American money represents
several times the value of the native
currency and the chap who spent a
few years in this country waxing
a real plutocrat in Macedonia and
elsewhere. The older men will
probably not return, but the belief
is generally entertained among
these in touch with the migratory
population that the younger men,
after seeing the folks with whom
they have been out of touch since
the beginning of the war will come
back to America, and take out
naturalization papers.
These returning immigrants are
preparing to cut some swath in
their native villages. 1t is quite the
common thing for an individual
who has skimped in clothing and
been nourished with the plainest
food to purchase silk shirts and
classy underwear and otherwise ar
ray himself in gorgeous apparel as
against the day of his triumphant
return to the fatherland. It's going
to be a continuous "old home week"
observance in the Balkans and the
peninsulas of the Adriatic and
Mediterranean when the husky tide
of humanity sweeps back upon the
coasts which saw these men sail
away, toward the West, years ago.
We're going to miss the muscular
and Industrious workers. but it is
hardly conceivable that, having ex-
perienced the advantages of our
free and independent institutions,
they will long remain amid the
poverty and depression of the scenes
of their youth. The lure of the
West is certain to bring these rest
less spirits back to the American
shores after they have learned def
nitely, the fate of their relatives in
the years of war.
Meanwhile, we must give earnest
heed to the great summons for
Americanization effort that these
aliens may learn how to become
real citizens and participate in the
development of all that is helpful
and worth while in our American
life.

What's Ahead of the Trolley?

From the Nations Business.
|" IME is showing that, in so far
as the facts are reflected by
street car traffic, the riding
habit" is ceasing to grow. May
hap it is declining. Between 1902
and 1907, street car riding increased
at the rate of 27 rides per inhabi-
tant of the United States. The in
crease fell to 10 during the sue
ceeding five years and to nine for
the period ending with 1917.
or course, the automobile ac-
counts for much of it, though the
doctors and physical culturists ac-
count for some. But whatever the
cause, the fact, along with many
others of more immediate impor-
tance, is bringing dreams of indus
trial dissolution to the managers of
electric railways. Already nearly 20
per cent. of the country's electric
railway mileage has been scrapped

or is in the receivers hands. Divi-
dends have almost ceased and inter
est payments are quite generally be-
ing passed. Equipmen is becoming
rheumatic; virtually no extension of
lines is being made; and no less
than 1853 miles of road have been
dismantled, and PSI miles aban-
doned.
Regulatory bodies in some cases
have permitted increases in the
price of fares. But, according to
the railway managers, the mere rails
ing of rates, in a majority of cases,
Will prove only a temporary sur
cease. The difficulties that threaten
the industry with extinction are due
to more deeply rooted things than
the cheapening of the nickel.
Cause for these difficulties reverts
back to the beginning of the enter
prise, which was .christened in
characteristic American optimism
more than in sound economic prin-
ciple

Bakers Compldcency
tFrum the New York Times. ]

lFrom the New ork I1meS.I
Secretary Baker seems to be luke
warm when the maintenance of the
air service on a plane of efficiency is
urged. Senator New reminded him
at a committee hearing the other
day that of the 1000 planes finally
built for the front in France SO per
cent had been struck off the service
list, and he asked the Secretary IL
he thought that in the event of an
other war emergency the delay in
supplying the army with machines
would be repeated. Mr.. Baker was
positive that nothing of the kind
would occur. The industry, said he
confidently, would survive. There
will be dissent by those who know
how it is running to seed for lack of
interest by the War and Navy De-
partm ents. Congress should heed
the American mission that came
back from study of aviation in
Great Britain and France with a
recommendation that the air service
of the army and navy should not be
neglected. 1t is certainly in great
danger of neglect when the Director
of Military Aeronautics can say that
the number of aviation officers on
the army list is too small even to
maintain an expedition to Mexico" 4"
That is so startling statement that
it should dissipate official compla-
cencys

FOOT-POWER FLYING

THERE is interest in the an
nouncement from Paris that
Gabriel Poulain is the first
man to get flight out of a strictly
man-power device. Poulain. who
first won fame as a cyclist, expects
to win a $4,000 prize in a few
weeks by proving that his aero
bike" or "aviette" really can fly by
leg power.
Airmen who witnessed his recent
trial flight at the Long Champs
race course were thrilled by the
possibilities of the machine that
lifted Poulain one meter off the
ground in a fight of twelve meters
the dispatch says. They see in his
device an antidote for engine
trouble, that dread of aviators, and
Poulain explains that when his in
vention is developed there will be
an attachment for motor powered
planes. BY this means flight may
be maintained by pedaling, while
mechanics affect repairs to recall
citrant motors or pilots seek safe
landings, the inventor believes. In
transatlantic flights, he says. the
aero bike attachment will become
indispensable for emergencies.
In the prize flight to win the
$4,000 offered by the Reugot BIZ
cycle Company, Poulain is required
to fly only ten meters, and having
done twelve already, he regards the
money as good as won.
The "aviette'' is a bicycle with
wings. On it Poulain gained a
speed of about twenty-five miles an
hour by vigorous pedaling and then,
with twist of the handles he ele-
waited the planes and glided through
the air. To land he simply depress-
ed the wings and eased up on the
pedals; no greater exertion is neces-
sary, he reported, than in ordinary
cycling on good roads.
The inventor hopes that when his
device is brought to the commercial
stage of perfection, it will become
the popular jaunting aero car of
the common people, inasmuch as
there is no expensive motors to be
bought nor costly gas therefor.
Can it be that we are to witness
the dream of our old and much
derided friend, Darius Green, come
true at last. The aerial bicycle has
been standing joke for cartoon
lists ever since poor Langley essayed
his disastrous flight with heavier
than air machine along the Po-
tomac. The comic" artist has
filled in many a dull day with
grotesque conceptions of the man
power flying machine and now we
expect a fresh outburst of energy
on his part. Let us hope M. Pou-
lain's invention is a success, If 1t
does nothing more than take into
the air those motorcycle fiends
whose chief delight is using the
highways of the Commonwealth for
racing purposes, when they are not
annoying sleepy folks by running
up and down the streets with cut
outs open.

NEARING THE LIMIT

rHE American public has always
had a feeling of sympathy for
the coal miner and his efforts
to better his condition in life. In
every great strike or wage con-
troversy the miner has had the ear
of the people. They have believed
that his demands were in very large
measure justified and that the dan
ger of his calling and the disagree
able nature of his work entitled him
to the best of wages and as short
a working day as conditions would
permit.
But when the miner comes for
ward with a request for a six-hour
day, five working days to the week
and at the same time a big increase

SATURDAY, AUGUST %, 1919
A NEW FRONTIER

A FTER every war in the history
n of America We have opened
up a new frontier. When we
had settled down to peace follow
ing the Revolution we had vast
stretches of virgin territory right
at our doors waiting to be conquer
ed and turned into productive farm
lands. The same lure with a fresh
incentive followed the war with
England in 1912. The Mexican war
gave us Texas and vast territories
beyond, which we went into with
great energy and determination
when the Civil War had determined
for all times the stability of the
Union.
Always America has been a coun-
try of frontiers. Always, previous
to the present, there has been a
mighty empire of wilderness to con-
vert into habitations for our people,
with all that has meant to us in
the way of material reward for indi-
Vidual initiative and daring. New
territory makes for new business
and where opportunity is open to
all who will do and dare public dis
content never comes to the danger
point. So we must look about us
now for new worlds to conquer in a
business and industrial way if we
are to remain true to our traditions
and get back to the principle that
has been potent in the up building
of the United States, and the in
dicator points unerringly toward
Mexico.
Not that Mexico should be an
neXed to the United States, but that
through the protective arm of Uncle
Sam that vast country, fertile as to
posits beyond almost any similar
area on the face of the earth, may
be opened to the American pioneer
who wants nothing but to be as
sured of life and opportunity south
of the Rio Grande to do for that
great empire what his forefathers
did for the land west of the Mis-
sissippi.
Wise craftsmanship would have
recognized the need long ago. But
perhaps it is just as well, from the
American standpoint, that affairs
should drift along to the point
where the United States will have to
interfere for the sake of the Monroe
Doctrine and the safety of the peo-
pie residing close to the border
In the end our chance to do in
Mexico what we did in Cuba will
be all the greater.
Nobody wants the United States
to loot Mexico of territory or pos
sessions, but it would be Gods
blessing to the down-tro dden masses
of that benighted country if they
could be brought temporarily un-
der the sheltering folds of the Stars
and Stripes and placed in position
to work out their own salvation
without the constant threat of self
seeking revolutionists and murder
Gus bandits. Perhaps we are just
on the verge of one of these great
pioneering movements that have
followed in the wake of every wal
even the Spanish American, when
we set about freeing Cuba and put
ting the Filipinos in position to gov.
ern themselves.

of the public almost to the breaking
point.
The miner should consider that
hard coal is now so expensive as to
be almost prohibitive and the sup
ply none too large. The time has
arrived when people in general
must think of their own interests
as well as those of the miner, and
If the miner loses that moral sup
port which has been his great stand
by in time of trouble he must not
