PEACE IN THE ARMORIES.
No Danger Of HOstillties Between the
Old Guard and the New.

To THE EDITOR OF THE SUN-Sir: A
wrong impression is given by statements
like the following about the state
militia:
Among the former National Guardsmen
there has been a growing feeling OF re-
sentiment ove- the occupancy OF their
armories by State troops. II was reported
that ono commanding officer intended 90
march his men into the old Ermory ana
take possession forcio!y. 81 necessary.
The general feeling throughout the
rank and file OF the present New York
Guard ia II the old National Guard or
CARNATIONS want TO resume as formerly
the present ORGANIZATIONS are to a man
quite willing to turn over the whole
shooting match" without question ;
hence the take possession forcibly" Is
not only somewhat OF jake but rank
Injustice TO the members of the New
York Guard.
Many persons who mislnterpret or
misread such statements as that quoted
will think that the two forces are on the
verge Of hostillties. when really tho
members OF the present state Guard
are only too willing TO Join in any warm
patriotic reception 10 the returning vic
torious warriors and give them the
whole town along with the armories.
While the present New York Guard
was not called upon for serious service
within the State. It stood and stands
ready at all times 30 respond to what
ever cali may arise for IT'S services.

the doings Of tho underworld, followed
by unusual exploitation Of cases that
normally are not noticed. The kid

wave Of crime, for 1t appeals to the
sympathy Of every individual In the
community. The recent murders OF

the foundation for a wave of crime
had public interest not been engrossei
in other subjects. In the trail of such
crimes there usually come explana-
tons based on the supposltlon that
regularly organized gangs have been
formed to commit them, and fear
inspiring machine Of violence is
erected in the public Imagination.
Paris Is not different from New York
in it's waves of crime.
The police, In the regular routine
Of their work, "round up" all the per
sons of bad character they can lay
their hands on, and this necessary
measure of precaution gives body aud
support to the alarming reports that
gain currency. The popular concep-
ton Of a highly unusual and danger
GUS condition persists until curiosity
Is satisfied or some new occurrence
diverts energy into another channel.
Thus the wave of crime comes to its
predestined end.
Another influence has been at work
in France, and in Europe generally.

attributlon of murders and assaults

Of French villages was likely to be a
common incident Of American partici-
patton in the war was the firm con-
viction of many who had studied our
national habits on the screen. We
may hope that this misconception has
been corrected, but 1t would not sur
prise us If there still fingers in the
minds of some Frenchmen the notion
that Americans, soldiers or civilians,
are likely to break forth into promis-
cuous shooting at any moment
Official statistics have rescued the
good name Of our men. and they stand
exonerated of the charges brought
against them. In this country those
charges were never taken seriously,
for we know our soldiers, and we had
no fear that they would not do honor
to themselves and their Uniform in

Saxons Unite With the Ruma Mans.

The announcement from Paris that
the Germans Of Pennsylvania will sup
port the other races Of this Hunga-
rlan province in their decision for
union with the Rumanian kingdom Is
considered as settlement OF the diff
ficult Transylyanian question 30 far as
the people are concerned.
The German, or more properly the
Saxon, colonies Of Pennsylvania have
presented one OF the most curious and
interesting clinical conditions in Eu-
rope. They were founded In the
twelfth century by Germans from
Flanders and the lower Rhine, who
were brought to Pennsylvania by a
Hungarian King to repeople and cul.
tivate lands desolated by invading

AUTHORITY THAT CALLS.
Trying Moment for a Young Woman
Who Went Out with a Soldier.

To THE EDITOR OF THE SuN-Sir: There
are times when the showing OF military
authority gals. and here Is such case
outlined.
A young lady friend went to New
York on the evening of Sunday last In
the company Of a private soldier. As
they were approaching Forty-second
street and Broadway a provost guard
tapped the soldier on the shoulder and
told him to come along" in tones LOUD
enough to attract general attention. the
predicament OF my friend certainly was
embarrassing, for several people started
to question her about the why and
wherefore OF the case. and she knew as
little as any one.
She watched her escort taken down
the street about half block, not know
ing whether he was going to be incar-
cerated or delayed she was about
ready to start for home alone when he
rejoined her. The explanation was that
the p. G. had seen an officer go by the
soldier unsaluted, and had taken him
away to call him down.
This all seems rather unnecessary,
especially when one sees so many OIL
cers in that neighborhood during an eve
ming. 1t would take a marvel Of quick
sightedness TO see all that went by In
time to salute them.
And Furthermore II seems rather I'M
necessary to make such public dis
play of such an offence against military
law at the expense of young lady's
feelings, as the girl was proffered as
sistance all the way from the courteous

A Premium Paid by Patriotism on
Liberty Loan Bonds.

To THE EDITOR OF THE SuN-Sir: At
the time the last Liberty Loan was
brought out bought $1,000 worth Of
these bonds at par. I could have gone
to a banker or broker and bought the
Third Liberty Loan bonds for about IS,
or 800 less than paid Uncle Sam for
my Fourth Liberty Loan bonds.
I did not make any complaint. and I
have bought literally OF every issue that
has come out, but i do not expect TO
buy any bonds of the NTH loan and pay
Uncle Sam 800 more than l can buy
them for on the open market. The war
was on when the bonds OF the fourth
loan were bought; the war is not on
now and It would not be any more pa
triotic in my opinion to buy United
States Government bonds than to buy
bonds OF our railroads or great indus
tries which are essential to our welfare.
would like TO suggest that the FIFTH
loan bonds bear not less than Az per
cent. and that all previous bonds be
convertible into the 4Hs. I believe this
would take care OF the situation as out
lined in the editorial article in THE Sun
and would also put the bonds on bust
ness basis. y. Y. Il.

That "American Crime Wave" in
Paris.

In the police records Of Paris the
"wave Of crime" attributed by certain
French journalists to American SOL
diers. with its thlrty-four murders
and Its hundreds of thefts, appears
as two murders and not abnormal
number of cases Of larceny, In which
French criminals seem to have taken
the lead. Some bolsterous Americans
have attracted attention to themselves
by noisy brawls and by fist fights,
which apparently the French news
papers regard more seriously than we
should. The uniform of the United
States has been adopted to mislead
the police by some rascals. of whom
Paris, In common with all great cities,
has too many. The automobile thieves
who were posted as Americans have
turned out to be native criminals.

Senator BoRAH has introduced a res
olution asking for information con-
corning army court-martial sentences.
preparatory to requesting n general
amnesty for all prisoners undergoing
discipline. The war being over. there
is IA tendency to regard lightly the Of
fences Of men who failed in their full
duty; moreover, in n number Of cases
there have been inequality Of treat
ment and unnecessary harshness. Yet
it must be remembered that only by
the enforcement OF rigid discipline
were our forces made dependable. and
in showing weakness TO offenders a
grave injustice is done TO the men
who served faithfully and obeyed the
orders issued to them.
