THEY FEAR THE C0NSE-
QUENCES

Republican Senators who par
ticipatcd in the killing OF the
treaty Of peace with Germany
are not comfortable in their
minds. Most OF them are obvi-
ously uneasy, not to say fearful
heir speech and bearing are not
those Of men who have lately per
furmcd a patriotic duty such as
they pictured their defeat Of the
pact to be a few weeks ago
Rather is their dcmeanor that OF
those who, charged with an Of
Tense against the public welfare
Jar from glorying in their act, re-
0rt to the tactics OF defense.
Senator Knox denounced the
treaty as harsh and cruel to the
German people Yet Mr. knoN
now proposes that il be ratified
"a every provision-and in haste
Senator Lodge contends that the
treaty is dead, but he shows
igns that either It's ghost haunts
him or that he fears its rcvivih-
cation at any moment Senator
Lcnroot protcsts-too much
that il was a bad treaty,a con
spiracy against American inde-
pcndcnce. but IS careful to claim
no credit for destroying the
monstrouS evil he describes tc
his countrymcn. On the con
trary. he seeks to locate the
blame Tor lis death upon Demo-
cratic Senators.
If this treaty was harsh and
cruel; if it WAS dangerous to
America; ii it is deservingly
dead. why do Republican Sena-
tors mouth excuses and defenses
for having saved their country
from the menace? Why not take
pride in their dceds2 Why not

REFORM OF WAR TAXATION

STARES US IN THE FACE

According 10 a statement made yes
'erday by the Federal Food Admins
'rator Wilkins at New York, twenty
cents a pound sugar stares the house

The report SAYS The public viii prob
ably have TO pay that price per pound
for the advance crop of 100000
pounds OF Cuban sugar. now being de-
livered and distributed in New York.
This is due to the fact that dealer.

to the Cuban producers for the croI
which is in advance OF the regular out-
put. We cannot control the prices
charged by Cubans
After one othcr shipment next month
il is expected that the regular 1876
crop of Cuban sugar viii commence

Mr.. Williams said. he and his aid.

Guides the important business of

wilted visibly We 90 not like to
admit. though it is unfortunately
true, that we have lived in New
York for four years without seeing
the Metropolitan, or the Natural
History Museum, or the Aquarium.
or the Bronx Zoo. SO we yielded
sppinely to seeing al these things.
Then in the afternoon a theatre was
proposed. We both struck violently
on Bernard Shaw and compromised
on "tired business man" type OF
play, one with chorus girls and
runway down the middle.
1t was revelation to Evelyn's
aunt and, incidentally, to US.
-Afterward we had tea and in the
evening, since we had not the heart
to resist, came the Stadium and an
open air concert.
The next week was round Of
frivolity and activity. We covered
nine plays, four teas, three con
certs, three churches. including the
Russian one where you have to
stand up during the services, and
we spent an entire day showing
Evelyn's aunt Park Row and Wall
Street and the Battery. We would
have enjoyed it we'll enough had she

luncheon, served and cooked by the
students, which elected from the
farls press several news items Civ
ing the names of the women found
ers and telling Of the objects and
practlcal attalnments of the organi-
zatlon. Since this publicity a steady
stream Of war widows wishing to
place their daughters under the
schools instruction has filled the
pleasant foyer hall of the school
building. AS the school already
has long waiting list it is quite i'm
possible to accommodate all those
who wish to enter, but it is expected
that by this time next year there will
be anothe: building AID that the
venture will give final proof Of it's
success by attaining a self-support-
ing basis. For, happily, the demand
for women hotel managers is larger
than the supply. And, too. the
French woman holds the pocketbook

est virtue in her husbands eyes, and
Nr. lnnkeepes is delighted for Mrs

employees left in the hotels or in the
employment offices were mostly
Swiss, while young French widows,
left destitute, were sadly in need
OF employment, but lacked the nee
essary instruction.
Headed by the Duchess d'Uzes,

tine Thompson, editor of ola Vie
Feminine" cooperating with COM
mlttce Of men from the Hotel Az
ISOLATION, opened the Ecolc Hotelierc
Feminine on the Boulevard Beausc-
jours.
Their avowed object was threefold,
first, to establish homework as a
profession; second, to give an op-
portunity for country girls to be
trained az maids, and, third, to at
tract capable women with sufficient
education TO fit them for executive
positions in large establishments.
The course for maids lasts one

detached houses than he could ever
hope to do in stereotyped city
apartment.
THE tenant consults his own taste
IN the selection of the colors of his
shutters, window sashes and doors
and in the layout of his garden. He
may build a trellis over his porch
and plant whatever vines he wishes
to trail over it. AS for the interior
of his castle, he may practically go
as far as he likes in this, for there
is no clause in his lease that forbids
him to drive a nall or otherwise
deface the property. If he is me-
chanically inclined, he may build all
sorts of 'fixments' into his house
sideboard, corner cupboards, even
four-poster beds-if he likes.

the rent. The houses will be wired
for electricity, but there will be cleo
trio fixtures only in the service por-
ton. In the other rooms there will
be base plugs, so that the tenant
may attach whatever kind of lamp
he prefers, thus doing away with
the ugly ceiling light. These base
plugs, too, are convenient for at
taching the vacuum cleaner. Each
house has a fireplace that works.
in which coal or wood may be
burned.
by building these houses 1Sx25
as specified, the regular stock size
floor beams can be used. AS the eel
lar is only to be used for storage, it
VIII not be necessary to spend much
money in finishing it off. Builders
have figured that these houses can
be put up complete for $4,000 each.
There is no question but what they
could be rented for from $50 to $50
month, which is the rent of the
ordinary city apartment. If the
settlement is built on land which is
reasonable in price-and there is
plenty TO be had within a short dis
lance of New York, on Long Island
or Staten Island or in New Jersey
the investor would easily make 10
per cent on his investment, and in
all probability he would make more
than this.
tennis is coming more and more
into vogue, and a clubhouse with
tennis courts could easily be in
cluded in the building scheme. The
railroads are always willing to erect
little station if the patronage war
rants it, and if the settlement is not
near a shopping centre a little block
of stores may be put up to shelter
the butcher and the grocer and the
little thread and needle shop with
living quarters for the shopkeeper
above, after the English custom.
"Such a community is not intend
ed for the 'dweller in the crowded
East Side tenement nor for the
more prosperous class whose means
enables them to live wherever they
choose. 1t is offered as scheme for
housing the families of the great
middle class. particularly those in
which the man of the family earns
from $4,000 to $4,000 a year.
"As a matter Of fact, we are all

month, while the curriculum for the
executive branch requires three

man is guaranteed employment if
her apprenticeship has been salts

carries with it a diploma The
classes are so arranged that group

Il have been thinking good deal
about this housing proposition" said
this wise person, land l have an
Idea which / am determined to put
into practice at the very first oppor-
tunlty. 1t is along the lines of COM
munity housing, but it is not in
tended for those who wish to own
their own homes, but for those who
desire to rent
propose to erect number of
little houses--anywhere from TWEEN
ty-flve to 1O0-arranged something
after the system of the Globe Wer-
nlcke bookcases--that is, there will
be unit, any number of which NAV
be placed together in any form that
is practical. For instance, two or
three or four may be grouped in a
straight line or in the shape Of a
right angle; or a greater number
may be arranged in the form of
hollow square, with common in the
centre. There are endless ways of
arranging these units, so that each
will have its own little plot of
ground, and yet the whole SETTLE
ment will be interesting and the
houses will not look like rows of dog
kennels, each set in the same loca-
ton on a plot of ground exactly
the same size and shape as it's neigh
boris.
According to my scheme, the plot
on which the community is to be
built is divided irregularly, and al
though each little house is allotted
a plot Of 1000 square feet-45O of
