where the memorial recalls not only

Britain's Railway Strike.

Government operation-miserable
makeshift of political dodgers afraid
or incompetent to tackle great ma
,tlonal problems in the righc way
doesn't make good in a single particu-
lar, at any time or any place. Old
World or New, democracy Or autoc-
racy, when 1t is put to the test 1t
fails utterly.
For years Government operation
has been common thing in Cont
mental Europe. Freight and passen-
ger rates were much higher than in
the United States under private opera
ton; service was slow, service was
inadequate, service was bad. But II
was always maintained in behalf of
Government ownership or operation
in Europe that at least 1t could keep
railroads moving, and always did keep
them moving, war or peace, in spite
of labor troubles
Like the United States. Great Brit
ain tried Government operation of the
railroads as war measure. Like
Government operation in the United
States, Government operation in Great
Britain piled up colossal costs on the
public. But after multiplying wages
over and over again. after exacting
terrific taxes from the public to pay
operating deficits, the British Govern
ment. faced with still more labor de-
mands. could not keep the roads oper-
ating. The workers of these Govern
nent operated roads walked out and
the national transportation system
was paralyzed. The United Kingdom
Is on a famine diet. The British peo-
pie before many hours may he in the
grip of starvation.
So Government operation of the
railroads cannot do the single. solitary
thing that was supposed to Justify the
existence of Government operation If
anything in the realm of common
sense could justify It.
The touch of the Government in
business is the touch of death.

Good Sense From viscount Grey.

The highly favorable impression
caused among Americans by the ap-
pointment of Viscount GREY as Am
bassador from Great Britain to the
United States will be confirmed and
strengthened by the admirably frank
statement to the press which he gave
out on his arrival here on Friday. Ii
is the utterance of level headed, in
telligent man. whom years of expert
ence have not turned to cyniclsm. but
whom practical knowledge of state af-
fairs has armed against international
quacks. There is sound politics in his
recognition Of the fact that good I'M
Outstanding can best be established on
cordial feelings between the peoples
of Great Britain and the United
States. OF the present relations of
the two nations viscount GREY said
with frankness:
There are some things that do not
exist in common between any two
other Countries common language
Is one of them--which make strongly
for friendship between the American
and British peoples.
con the other hand, there are some
things which out across this happy
tendency and make for misunder-
standing, arising partly out Of old
historical memories. partly out of
British political problems which do
as a matter of fact excite a special
interest in America"
1t is far better to face the facts
than to attempt to ignore them, for
their effects are unacceptable. En-
lightened statesmen do not dodge an
unpleasant or disturbing issue. They
seek to understand it and to remove
the causes of friction. But neither
do enlightened statesmen permit one
subject of disagreement to obscure
the factors in national life which
make for harmony.
Vlscount GREY's Introductory adj
dress to America was wholesome.
broad and In excellent taste. There
was no note Of false sentimentality
in 1t, no hypocritical pretencef that
Ill feeling between the nations might
be regarded as an intellectual and
moral impossibility. Instead, the
new Ambassador spoke with that
manly candor which his fine record
has led us to associate with his name,
and pledged himself simply but con-
vincingly to the high ideals the his
tory of his career has revealed not
only in words but in deeds that make
for justice and for amity.

Transport Corps 54s; the Chemical
Warfare Service 1873, and the Con-
struction Division 900. The infan-
try will have 1914 officers, the Med
ical Corps coming next in strength
with ASST, and the Quartermaster
Corps 1922.
Three special services that are
working out postwar problems are
physical reconstruction, to. which
twenty-five officers are assigned /;
claims boards with 4S5 and foreign
liquldating and special missions with
f0rty-four officers. We have not given
a complete list Of services here-there
are thirty-nine services In all-but
enough of them to indicate How the
supply of $4,000 army officers is to
be utilized until next July. The Sec
rotary of War has directed that
emergency officers retained in the
service be selected so far as possible
from among applicants for perma-
nent service"
Thus about one-third of the $4,000
emergency officers who have already
made application for appointment as
officers in the regular military estab-
lisbment will have an opportunity to
remain in the army through next June
at least.

research before the world. why should
not New York enshrine the names Of
its cons and daughters who made the
great voyage to the war? In each
line of the tablets Of Victory Hall

each would be a message to the men

supply OF Army ON GERS.

OF all the terms and phrases that
have come into use by our army since
We entered the war against the Cen
trail Powers there is none that has so
qhmilitary a sound as the word "over-
bead" and none more firmly fixed, ap-
liarently, In army usage. Until re.
Gently the problem of supplying a
working overhead" of officers for the
new services developed during the
war-Tank Corps, Air Service, Motor
Transport Corps, Chemical Warfare
Service and the staff corps called the
CONSTRUCTION Division-was a grave
t,1e. For if the strength of the com
iaissloned personnel was reduced to
that established by the national de-
fence act of 1915, as seemed probable
In August, the army would have had
barely enough officers for the old line
and staff duties and would have been
without a surplus sufficient to carry
on even skeleton organiza lions of the
hew combat and service corps.
This situation has been happily
saved by the agreement of the House
and Senate on the bill to provide
$4,000 officers for the army until Jnne
so, 1920, of which number approx
inately $500 are to be officers of the
emergency army. Our military estab.
lishment is to have a sufficient "over.
head" until next July at least. Mean
while it will have more officers In
service than in any postwar period In
eur history.
The distribution Of these $4,000
efiicers has been worked out by the
War Department from estimates sub
mitted by the responsible head of
each organization Of the military es-
adjustment as to "the minimum
plumber of officers required to func-
iI9n his organization under the alb
normal conditions that will obtain
during the fiscal year ending June
30, 1920" These estimates origi-
nally called for 24,693 officers, but the
number had to be scaled down to
$4,000 to meet the requirements of
the bill.

BEEF AND ExTRAVAGANCE
Meatless Days Healthful and EconOm-
ical, Says Professor Lusk.

To THE EDITOR OF THE SuN-Sir: In
an address given by me recently on the
subject of National Food Economics"
was erroneously reported as regards
the consumption OF meat. I would be
glad to have you publish the following
note of what actually did say:
Beef, which contains II per cent. Of
the calories of a diet conforming to a
high American standard of living, costs
AZ per cent. Of the total money ex-
pended for food. The quantity of meat
provided in such a diet Is four pounds
a man a month, surely a very large
amount One may we'll question whether
an accurately informed social conscience
would tolerate the consumption of such
an amount of meat.
THE influence of family income upon
the quantity of meat with relation 10
the quantity of bread bought Is easily
understood. for to produce butchers
meat means that grain must pass
through the animal with considerable
loss OF it's energy and at variable cost
in labor The end result is that for
the calories yielded in meat the cost is
many times the cost of the cereal.
"A vegetarian diet is an economical
diet. Restricted income means meatless
days, but. fortunately, no harm results
from abstinence from meat. especially
when milk. eggs and cheese are avail
able" GRAHAM LUsK.

KAN ERAD."
Is 1t a Fit Name for Post Of the
American Legionl

To THE EDITOR OF TUE SUN-Sr: win
you permit me to protest against the use
of the word "Kamerad" as the name of
post of the American Legion?
The temporary chairman, Charles j.
Dieges, says the name signifies only the
desire of the surrendering German SOL
diers for peace and fellowship" II This
we're true II would not justify the use of
the name by a post OF the American
Legion which is not composed of sur
rendering German soldiers" and was not
organized for the purpose of fellowship
with them.
But 1t is not true that the word has
such a significance to Americans. On
the contrary, 1t has come to mean foul,
crawling, cownrdly, hypocrtical treach-
ery. The "Kamerad" was one Who
walked with uplifted hands in token Of
surrender and with pockets stuffed with
bombs to destroy those who trusted HIM.
The "Kamerad' was one who. when he
lay wounded, shot in the back the Red
Cross doctor who had just saved his life.
The "Kamerad" is the snivelling Hun
who now begs an outraged world to
forget his bloody crimes, to let him on
without punishment and to receive him
again TO our cohhding fellowship"
while his unrepentant heart is still full
Of it's black purposes of further crime
and conquest. EUGENE lHWlNC

LOSS SHARING.
A Business Principle Overlooked In
Plans for the Railroads.

To THE EDITOR OF THE SuN-Str: 1t
is a we'll understood law and usage OF
the business world that whoever shares
In the earnings of a corporation or part
nership shall also share in the losses, II
any.
In all of the varied plans for restoring
the railroads on the profit sharing idea
this principle seems 10 have been en-
tirely overlooked.
II railroad cannot earn its expenses
there Ia no resort except bankruptcy.
But II the loss could be divided In pro-
portion between the stockholders. the
bondholders and the employees who now
get the largest share of the earnings and
would get the largest share Of the profits,
II any. then any railroad could operate
safely and every employee would have
a double incentive to do his best work.
