Spring improvements.

b q somewhat common way for people
to join the campaign Of spring improve.
ment, is for them to clean up their front
yards, and to dump all unsightly objects
in the back Of the house or on the river
bank. But the neighbors can see it. II
is perfectly apparent to close scrutiny
AS consequence, the average American
back yard is a place of tumble down
fences, ash heaps, disorderly hencoops
wiring, and miscellaneous litter. Very
few back yards are concealed from
public view. To get a clean town
litter and disorder must be removed
from the rear as well as from the front
1t is amazing how little improve.
ment work on ones property will en-
nance it's value. When you replace the
broken parts of fences, when you
straighten up the door or gate or blind
that was looping on one hinge, when
you remove the out building whose roof
has fallen in, you add more to the ap.
parent value of your place than the
work would cost, even if you hire it
done.
One Of the most needed spring i'm.
provements is to grow new turf in grass
plots that are thin or worn out, both on
street land and on private grounds
One great difficulty is that so many PEG.
pie cut corners across such plots and
spoil their appearance It makes even
a handsome town look seedy and care
less. But if people keep their grass
growing right up to the correct line, it
gives an impression Of style and taste.
Public school teachers Should urge
the children to respect the grass plots
No mans time is so valuable that he
can't spare two seconds to walk around
and save the green spots that beautify
his community.

What the Warren Battalion Band is
capable of doing was demonstrated at
the Strand Tuesday evening of this
week. Some high class music was play
ed which the audience greatly appre-
GATED. All Warren people should be
willing to put in a good word for the
.Dand as it surely is credit to the city.
A boost for the band is a boost for YOUR
self and the community.

ship OWNERS
WILL OFFER
COMPROMISE
Freight Houses in New York
Piled High With
Merchandise.

New York, July 21 Ship owners
whose vessels are tied up at this and
other Atlantic ports, today faced the
problem of framing a compromise
proposal to the demand of striking
seamen for recognition of the union.
An offer to give preferential employ
ment to union seamen after men of
American citizenship were given an
opportunity to fill vacancies in crews,
was made and union leaders said that
1t might be accepted since all Ameri-
can seamen are union members.
Ships entering New York harbor
continue to tie up for an indefinite
period, the crews quitting Immediate
ly. Ships scheduled to leave port days
ago remain at their piers loaded with
cargo. Freight houses are piled high
with merchandise ready to be loaded
on ships that cannot reach this port
from other harbors along the Atlantic
coast.
1t is estimated that about half Of
the shipping under the American flag
were tied up in New York and other
Atlantic ports
Estimates of ships tied up in Amer
lean harbors on account Of the strike
range from 500 to 500. According to
the ship owners about $50 American
vessels are idle in New York harbor
while the strike leaders say that, twice
that number cannot be moved for lack

CHICAGO CAR
FARES MAY BE-
RAISED soon
Raise Would be For Purpose
Of Allowing Higher Wag-
es to Employees.

Chicago, July Il The question Of
permitting the street car and elevated
lines of the city to increase fares in
order that they may be able to meet
the demands of their employees for a
raise in wages was taken up today
by the state public utilities commits
sion. 80.
Last week the employees voted al
most unanimously to strike unless they
are granted an increase from the
present wage Of 4S cents. an hour to IS
cents.
The companies replied they were
unable to grant any increase unless
permitted to charge higher fares, and
at the same time made application to
the commission for authority to in
crease rates.
Before the meeting Of the public
utilities commission, Thomas E..
Dempsey chairman, indicated that
enough increases would be allowed
the companies to meet a just wage in
crease.
I'VE are prepared to protect the
companies from any Gripping effects
which might be sustained through a
wage increase by granting them per-
mission to increase their revenues" f"
| said Chairman Dempsey. This, how
ever. does not mean that they can
enter into a wage scale agreement in
accordance with the seventy-seven per
cent demands now being made by the
unions. The demands Of the carmen
are unreasonable and fare increases
in proportion would work hardship
on the public"

Prompt Ratification of
Treaty Urged by Senator
POmerer1e in His Address

Washington. July 21.-Prompt and
unreserved ratification Of the peace
treaty with the League Of Nations
covenant was urged upon the senate
today by Senator Pomerene Of Ohio
Democrat member Of the foreign re-
lations committee.
In q prepared address Senator Pom
creme said the league was not a sure
preventive of wars but would tend
to prevent war. and could be amend
ed as experience required. He replied
to the criticisms Of Republican Leader
Pennsylvania, former Senator Root
and Chairman Hayes of the Republi-
can national committee. Much Of the
opposition he asserted springs from
partisanship.
Surely" he said. ''if the treaty is
ratified after the experience through
which we have just passed. it Will help
to keep our former enemies in the
straight and narrow path until the
present plan can be modified or inn
proved to meet requirements Of our
future experiences ond our mature
thoughts,
Not q Certainty.
No friend Of the league has ever
claimed it would be a panacea against
all future wars. But we have an abid-
ing faith that when the nations Of the
world leagued together. pledge them
selves to suspend warfare that inter-
national disputes can be submitted
either to arbitration or to invesiga-
ton and publicity incident thereto, it
will materially reduce the chances Of
war.
Il would not find serious fault with
some Of the proposed amendments or
reservations If they did not mean de-
lay and a consequent encouragement
to- revolutionary elements. Is 1t not
going to be better. therefore. that we
surrender some Of our convictions in
the interest of immediate peace,
rather than to insist upon changes
which will require the pending treaty
to be sent back to the associated pow
ers?
"A war-sick world demands the
early ratification OF the treaty. That
demand must not be ignored.
During the war many Of us voted
for measures. not because we would
have approved them in time OF peace,
but because We felt the exigencies OF
tn situation required. Aayfwe not pur-
sue similar course when 1t comes
to the ratification OF the peace treaty {
