SHERRY'S BECOMES
ONLY A MEMORY
Famous Restaurant Closes Its
Doors for Last Time With
out Ceremony.
WALDORF GETS WORKERS
Prohibition and Walters Boil
shevik Tendencies Blamed
for Resorts Extinction.

Sherry's restaurant at Forty fourth
street and Fifth avenue. for more than
twenty years one of the city's best
known resorts OF wealth, fashion, beauty
and the epicures, closed its doors after
dinner last night, ending its notable ex-
istence.
A number of considerations, but prin-
cipally the impending drought after
June 80, and the difficulty which he has
encountered since the world went to war
of finding suitable walters and kitchen
help, moved Louis Sherry, the proprie-
tor, to retire from restaurant keeping
and to incorporate as Louis Sherry. Inc.
He will open confectionery and pastry
shop at Fifth avenue and Fifty-eighth
street.
The lease Of the old Sherry Building,
which liz the property OF the Brokaw es-
tate. has been assigned to the Guaranty
Trust Company, which will remodel 1t
for its own purposes in the near future.
Until the trust company assumes pos
session, most OF the tenants of the
Sherry apartments over the restaurant
will. remain there.
There were no exercises OF a valedic-
torian nature when the restaurant closed
last night. Simply whoever came in TO
o'clock The doors were closed. When
the last diner paid his check and went
homo the restaurant had passed into the
limbo of things remembered.
As there are other hotels and restau-
rants in New York which find the prob
lem of obtaining efficient help a perplex-
ing one, Mr.. Sherry prevailed upon those
OF his kitchen and dining room stan
who have been with him long time 10

toria, where a welcome was waiting
them. The hotel in return for this ser
vice has agreed to assume the arrange
ments for certain dinners and parties
which were to have been held at Sher-
rvs during the next few weeks.
In giving up his restaurant Mr. Sher-
ry said that restaurant keeping without
wine on the menu was in itself too for
micable a task to be undertaken, but
tina. to run a restaurant with Bolsheviki
for walters made restaurant keeping un-
thinkable.

FLY ON ANNIVERSARY
OF FIRST STEAM TRIP
Cross Ocean Auiators Mark
IOOth Anniuersary.

ut Is a rema, kable coincidence" said
o. p. Austin. statistician of the National
City Bank and secretary OF the National
Geographical Society. that this first
voyage across the ocean occurs at the
Tooth anniversary of the first transat-
lantic voyage by steam vessel. 1t was
on May rs, 1919, that the little steam
ship Savannah. built in the United States
and commanded by an American. left
the port OF Savannah for the shores or
Europe. arriving In Liverpool June 20.
having thus made this memorable voy-
age in twenty-six days, while we are
now expecting to see American air
planes make the trip in about the same
number of hours
THE Savannah was built in New
York with the especial purpose OF max
ing this first transatlantic venture, and
the engines constructed in New Jersey,
and made its departure from the port of
Savannah under the command of an
American captain. Moses Rogers of Con-
necticut. a navigator. The vessel was
so constructed that her paddle wheels
could be taken out and laid on the decks
when the wind permitted the use of the
sails and steam power was actually used
on only eighteen of tho twenty-six days
occupied by that steamship voyage
across the Atlantic.
whether the practical use OF the
airplane will develop as did that OF the
steamship of 100 years ago can scarcely
be yet predicted, though the fact that
air service for some of the $4,000 flying
machines remaining from the war is al
ready being put into practical operation
In many parts of the world for the
transportation of passengers and mails
might give 1t an even more promp.
recognition than that tardily rendered

voyage of the Savannah before the es-

COMFY S CENT FARES

Nixon Says NeuU Construction
Blocks Reduction.

Lewis Nixon, the new Public Service
Commissioner. explained yesterday why,
in his opinion. II would be impossible to
put a FIVE cent fare to Coney Island In

The contracts provide that the single

construction work is done. Originally
It was planned to stop the city work at
Avenue Y, but II has been decided now
to push this point along to Sheepshead
Bay road, which is only about 600 feet
from the Coney Island terminal. The
work between Avenue y. where the line
now stops. and Sheepshead Bay road is
already under construction and Commits
sioner Nixon approved yesterday the let

Transit Company for the short section
from there south.

Mr.. Nixon, that a FIVE cent fare could

transfer from the elevated railroad to
the surface line, which carries the pas
sengers to Coney Island. Under the
law the commission cannot order trans
fers between n rapid transit railroad and
a surface line.
Another suggestion has been made
that the commission could order the
company to make physical connection
between the elevated and a surface line.
This would involve the abrogation con-
tracts for the city's portion of the line
between Avenue Y and Sheepshead Bay
road. ] am informed that the commits
sion is without power TO order such a
connection.
II believe that the carrying out OF the
present plan will bring the five cent fare
sooner than any other course that could
be adopted"

viii they tend to make it practicable
and lasting We can readily arrange
Tor desirable conferences without dis
advantageous commitments. And it
should be remembered that the great
protection against war for q consid-
cradle period Of years will be found
not IN any forms of words that may
now be adopted, however desirable
these may be, but III economic condi-
tions which are an assurance that for
a considerable time at least we shall
not have recurrence of world strife.
The danger now lies, not in the
menace of force employed to further
imperial designs, but in the disorder
due to the breakup and the removal
OF traditional restraints and the ten
dency to revolution within states In
making commitments it should be re
membercd that while it is highly i'm
portant that at this time we should
do everything that is practicable to
promote peace and to secure stable
conditions, we should be cautions in
making promises which are to be re-
deemed in unknown contingencies.

League or War. Says Poindcxter


CHICAGO. March Ex-senator G. NJ.
H. Hitchcock, of Nebraska, in his
speech before the Association of Com
merce to-day, asserted that, unless the
constitution of the league of nations
were ratified by the nations of the
world the peace signed at Paris would
only be truce. and every nation would
resume war preparations on a bigger
score than ever.
Answering the criticisms of the con-
stitution, he said:
ut was first said the league would
be sort of supernaton, with a great
standing army and navy capable of
destroying any particular nation. The
objection disappeared as soon as the
league constitution was published.
Second, the objection was made that
the United States surrendered part
of its sovereignty by entering the
league. 1t has now become evident
that neither the United States nor any
other nation surrenders anything, as
the league is not government and has
no sovereign powers.
Third, objection has been made that
the United States abandons the Monroe
Doctrine. How can this doctrine be
abandoned by joining a league which
proposes to put stop to aggressions
by force against every nation, includ-
ing those in America?
Majority Vote Needed
Fourth, objection has been made
that British self-governing colonies. like
Canada and Australia, may be admitted
to the league, which. it is claimed, would
give Great Britain five votes to our one
If it were true. it would not matter, be-
cause all important questions must be
decided by unanimous vote. Also, these
colonies arc now almost completely in
dependent of Great Britain, and Canada,
especially, has many interests in COM
mon with the United States.
Fifth, it has been objected that
Japan might insist on having the league
settle the immigration question and
through the league force us to admit
Japanese. If she could she could also
force US to change our laws of marriage
and divorce, taxation or any other do
mestic question. The league, however,
deals only with international questions
and has no relation to domestic affairs"
New-York tribune., 1919-03-27

that the action claimed to have been
agreed upon was taken. If that action
was not taken, although Congress re-
fused to act because it believed II was
entitled to rof'see
regarded as guilty of breach of faith
May Dispute Obligation
Assuming that this could be ox-
pectcd with respect to the legislation
required by Article XVI, it is manifest
that when the covenant calls for the
making of war there can be no such as
surance. And this does not mean
that Congress will repudiate an
admitted obligation, but that Congress
may conclude that the obligation does
not exist because in such a matter it
could not be imposed. From such a
decision there would be no appeal.
II shall not review the provisions as
to mandatorics. The plan has decided
merit. 1t does not follow, however,
that the United States should assume
the obligation of mandatory in the
Eastern Hemisphere. Such an under
taking would present the most serious
questions 1t is clear that we ought
not to be put in position where we
would be bound, even morally, to ac-
cept such designation. The right to
refuse to be mandatory should be dis
tinctly reserved.
ut should also be made clear that
any member of the league may with
draw at its pleasure on a specified
notice.
Amendments Are Needed
"Whilc this is being written there
arc reports that amendments arc being
made. This is as it should be, and it
may be hoped that the amendments
will go far enough to meet serious
objections. The important changes
that arc desired arc not prejudicial
to sound international order Rather

After enumerating the other powers
