GIVES DEAD SOLDIER SONS
EQUIPMENT TO THE
SALVATION ARMY

A little old lady, gray of hair with
a tired, sorrow stricken face walked
into one of the Salvation Army head
quarters recently carrying a battered
and travel marred suit case which she
sat down before one of the attendants,
and without a word departed. Aston
ished the Salvationists opened the
bag to find inside the complete outfit
of an American doughboy. There
was the khaki Uniform, the under
wear, handkerciefs,> socks, ETC., with
all the little personal and intimate
trifes-the parting gifts of those who
had loved him-the soiled game of
checkers that had helped pass the
hours in the trenches; the worn air
pillow, the wrist watch and pinned to
one of the garments was scrawled in
pencil by the shaking hand of the
m other.
"My boys gone on He amt got
no use for these things now, but he
wanted the Salvation Army to have
them to sell so they could help some
one else with the money, like they
helped him Cover there
Just a pathetic little note from the
torn heart of a mother but it told the
story of a soldiers gratitude for help
in days of war and his desire that
what little he had should be sold to
benefit the unfortunates in the days of
peace. 1t is this Home Service for
which the funds that the army is ap-
pealing for is to be used.

MR.. DANIELSS PROGRAMME.
1t Recalls Certain Utterances OF Ger
mnny's Former Ruler.

To THE EDITOR OF THE SrN--Sir! The
Secretary OF the Navy has just an
nounced that i've must build ships 80
as to have such n powerful navy that
1t would make any nation in the world
think several times before venturlng TO
attack us"
Evidently Mr. Daniels had in mind
the preamble to the German navy act
of 1900: THE German navy must be
made so powerful that It would be dan
gerous for any nation, even the
strongest maritime nation, to attack It,"
In his other expressions Mr.. Daniels
goes only a little beyond the German
m!litarism OF 1900.
In Justice to the Germans II should
DO remembered that the naval policy
which Mr.. Daniels copies was not an
nounced during one of the Kaiser S
visits to Great Britain.
Even those who are hoping that the
President will keep US out OF peace
might have scruples of taste at threat
ening England on a day when the
President was n guest at Buckingham
Palace. o~EPHEN II. OLIN,

or expenses lowered. Nobody will i'm
agine that expenses can he pulled
down In the near future. But with
out revenues to meet those higher eX-
penses ali the Manhattan companies
can run into the same disaster in the
immediate future.
1t may he that IN the long tun Tie
best solution of the whole rapid tran
sit problem would be n traction re-
ceiver everywhere, resulting in reor-
ganizntion OF the good with the bad.
But, receivers or no receivers, If the
traction roads don't earn enough
money 10 support themselves they
cannot serve the public as 1t must be
served If the millions Of our popula-
ton are to 80 to and from their work,
do their business and lead their lives
as they are required to do in this
great and busy city.
The same thing would be true if
the municipal government took hold
of the roads. The city cannot oper-
ate Il traction system without ade-
Quate revenues any more than private
management or recelvership can.
Without revenues to pay the bills, the
city cannot provide new cars, extend
the service and safeguard the system,
unless 1t dares to go before the pubic
with an extra taxation bill of millions
of dollars a year to cover operating
deficits.
Whether the management Is by
private owners, by receivers, or by
municipal officers, as long as wages
and other costs are so high as TO
devour receipts on the present basis
there will be no escape from n higher
fare But the city government, the
courts and the public might as well
face the truth now, while they arc
hunting for the necessary revenues
that 1t will do no good If. as has hap
pened in the case of the national
steam railroads and In SO many other
fields, the fresh revenues are immedi
ately absorbed by new advances n
labor and other charges.

The Assembly Greets Two Interest.
Ing New Members.

We congratulate the mere men in
the Assembly on their gallantry and
success in inducing into the legisla-
tive service under the pleasantest and
most promising auspices their new
colleagues, Mrs. IDA g. SAMMIs Of
Suffolk county and Mrs. MARY NJ.
Lilly of New York county, first Of
their sex to sit as lawmakers in the
Capitol at Albany.
The testimony Of these pioneers as
to their reception is explicit and con-
vlnclng. Mrs. SAMMIs feels "abso-
lutely at home; as Republican she
asks, "Why should not, with all
these good and true Republicans
about me?" But her fellow partisans
do not deserve all the honor. Mrs.
SAMMIs dlsclaims any intention TO
say she has no confidence in the
Democrats" for:
"The way in which have been treated
by all Is wonderful do not think the
fact am a woman will prove OF dis
ad vantage TO me. On the contrary. I
think II will prove Of distinct advantage"
A year ago Mrs. LILLY would have
laughed Mt anybody who prophesied
she was to be member of the As
scmbly. Now she belongs to the Dem
ocratic caucus. She does not feel
lonesome; Mrs. SAMMIs's presence re-
lieves the situation of any tinge Of
strangeness. Moreover, Mrs. Lilly
testifies thus:
II am delighted with being here and
am also delighted with my colleagues,
am sure that we shall all get along
splendidly."
No doubt mere man, though he be
official and clad in the vestments OF
authority, IS likewise delighted. The
first Assembly fruits of woman suf-
frage start off on the right foot
Their Influence will be good; they
will soon learn the ropes, and distin-
suish the rhetoric Of partisan debate

discussion. The short roll call will
not long remain n mystery to them.

uted Importantly to the good sense
