1t will puzzle Eastern housewives
to learn that In the House Of Repre-
there is q feeling that n
sugar famine threatens" the United
States and that an embargo must be
put on sugar to prevent this famine
from becoming "acute."
In crude empirical way house
wives have been given to understand
that the acute famine is not only
here but has been oppressively in
operation for weeks and months.
These housewives have not been
able to get sugar for canning or for
cooking at the normal rate Of con.
sumption, and they have had diff
Guilty in many cases in getting enough
for table use--that Is, as much as
their families wanted to sweeten the
food and drink served to them.
1t has not been a question of price.
Housewives who did not ask what
the price of sugar was when they
ordered 1t have been in the same fix
with housewives who made particular
inquiry as to the price. None Of them
could get the sugar.
Nor did the shortage become no
ticeable only when the loHgshoremen's
strike tied up shipping and pre-
vented the unloading Of sugar for the
refiners. II was felt long before that
date. It has been felt since then.
Perhaps Washington can do some
thing to relieve the shortage. If II
can It should. But Washington won't
get far II 1t treats the sugar famine
as possibility and not as a fact of
present Importance.

VERMONT AND THE SOLDIER
One State which Gave a Bonus Of
$12O to All Service Men.

To THE EDITOR OF THE SUN-Sir: In
THE SUN OF October IA "One of the,
Four Million" discussing the proposed
bonus for the soldier, says: THE good
old Commonwealth of Massachusetts, has
led the way in this country by giving
all her ex-servioe men 800"
Permit me TO call attention 10 the fact
that Vermont. in March. 1917, feeling
certain that we should soon enter the
war. provided State pay OF S120 to all
her National Guard who might be called
into Federal service and to such OF her
men as might volunteer In the service
OF the United States and for the sup
port OF their dependent wives, children
and widowed mothers In March. 1919,
Vermont extended the law TO all men
inducted under the selective service law
and to all men and women enlisted in
the Army, Navy or Marine Corps. Has

We had supposed that the lmmlgra-
ton act Of 1917 erected barriers as
strong as were necessary to protect
! the country against anarchists and
the advocates Of violent overthrow OF
our Institutions. That statute con-
tained the provisions shutting the gate
to illiterates which caused It to be
vetoed by three Presidents--CLEvE-
LAND, TAFT and WILSON. 1t was
passed over Mr.. WILSON'S veto, and
many persons who did not believe in
the llteracy test acknowledged the
measure to be admirable in many of
its other sections.
Because Of the war this law has
not had fair trial. There has been
ro opportunity to observe its operation
Under normal conditions. The in
quiries administrative and legislative
officers will make in the coming twelve
months may reveal 1t an instrument
requiring no change, or little change,
to protect us from agltators. Like all

prohibitions are modified by weakness

MRS. HETTY GREENS
ESTATE WINS POINT
Surrogate Again Declares Her
Property Is Not Taxable
in New York.
ROMAN LAWS ARE CITED
Opinion Declares Modern Legal
Processes Are Misapplicd
to SOcialistic Ends.

The legal tournament which the estate
OF the late Hetty Green and the State
Comptroller's Office have been wagins
for some time past turned again In favor
OF the former yesterday when Surrogate
Robert Ludlow Fowler rendered a deci-
sion reaffirmins his former views to the
effect that the wealthy woman did not
do business" in the State OF New York.
and that her property is not taxable ac-
cordingly.
The Surrogate's decision. which scores
the socialistic tendencies OF many mod
ern tax laws and declares that "the
growing danger Of injustice is not to the
poor. but to the people OF property" Is
the NTH Of a series OF court tits which
began when State authorities sought to
prove that Mrs. Green was legal resi-
Gent of this city at the time Of her
death. This contention was lost in both
the Surrogate's Court and the Appellate
Division. The next move, which the
Surrogate declares to have been incon.
sistent, was to prove that she did busi
ness" here. and although this was de
cided In favor of the estate, the Appel
late Division later ordered a new hear
ing on the point 1t Is on that rehear-
ing that the present action of the court
Is taken.

but obnoxious. 1t is his magnificent Pre-

among these war poems with closing lines

found in all this brilliant bitterness:
"And through some mooned Valhalla there
will pass

The unreturning army that was youth;
The legions who have suffered and are

"The Elstones"

4 CYCLE of life in an English family,
L y covering q year in point of time,
many marked spiritual changes, quick
springing love, are set down with an ex-
quisite art in the pages Of Isabel C.
Clarke's new novel, The Elstones. Lovers
of English prose, readers with searching
sense for beauty of pattern in the con-
structiOn Of q story, will find profound
beauty in Miss Clarke's tale, even if they
are not moved by its religious fervors nor
touched by the souls travail of the four
members of the Elstone family who be-
came converts to the Catholic faith. Pref
udice burns brightly here land very nat
urally) in the soul of Lady Elstone, in
the material human machine bearing the
name of Miss Gibbon, and less finely so In
the petty nature of Miss Forneett. 1t Is
Miss Clarke's moving art to make the
reader feel these shades of difference, even
more clearly than she does the resentment,
on the other side of the medal, of Mrs.
Arnold, whose mental attitude had justif-
cation enough and to spare from her suf-
ferings because Of her religion.
But of all the characters in the tale
Ierne Elstone and MagaI Arnold stand
out most clearly as portraits of warm liv-
ing beings. In the one is the child with
a passionate sense of justice, or else her
dying father never would have had his
chance Of being taken into the church be

quotes in q very excellent introduction
which reveals to US among other things
Mr.. Nicholas decision that the upper lips
Of poets are apt TO resemble shrixelled
leaves.
@Let no one ever" Mr.. Sassoon COM
mands, "from henceforth say word in
any way countenancing war. It is dan
gerous even to speak of how here and
there the individual may gain some hard
ship Of soul by it. For war is hell and
those who institute it are criminals. We're
there anything to say for it it should not
be said, for. its spiritual disasters far out
weigh any Of its advantages"
His is savage cynicism that obscures
beauty in the usual sense and has made of
this volume a CRYING out against the OBJ
scurity. There il nothing otiose in his
attitude, never touch of easy sentiment.
He wants us to forget whatever beauty
we may have found in war, lest in our re-
Numbering we distort the angle of vision.
1t is not necessary, although it is temp
tation in speaking of Sassoon's poetry, to
philosopher. He does it quite adequately
with q forceful economy which leaves in
our minds the imprint of personality so
memorable, so vivid and so at variance
with the general idea of what soldiers
should be that some time is needed for
adjustment
1t isn't the way we want soldier to
write or feel-its most unhappy book
and the rest of US are given short shrift
unless we be of the army, preferably the
Unreturning. Every poem in the book is
miserable, everything is denied the out
slider, even the tragic splendor of sacrifice
and the bitter and terrible solace Of its
final worth. There is positive cruelty in
Glory Of Women, which We quote in part:
"You love US when we're heroes, home on
leave,
Or wounded in a mentionable place.
You worship decorations; you believe
That ehiyalry redeems the wars dis
grace.
You make us Shells You listen with
delight,
By tales Of dirt and danger fsndly
thrilled
You crown our distant ardors while we
fight,
And mourn our laurelled memories
when we're killed"
What, you dare to ask yourself, has the
war done for his soul?
Unloading hell behind him step by STEP"
he justifes his attitude in such summing
up as this, In Punishment:
"The darkness tells how vainly I have
striyen
To free them from the pit where they
must dwell
In outcast gloom convulsed and jagged
and riven
BY graphing guns. Love drove me to
rebel
Love drives me back to grope with
them through hell;
And in their tortured eyes stand for
given"
