Comparative Comforts Of Jails.

The poet may be right-poets have
been known to be right; but there are
those who will sturdly maintain that
the proper study of mankind Is wom-
an. Observe her in Philadelphia.
There Is DIR. ELIZABETH BAER, once
a Socialist candidate for Congress,
sending the warden of Jail a polite
letter of regret that she was unable
to keep an appointment with him to
begin serving sentence for an at
tempt to obstruct the draft law, and
giving as her excuse that she did not
have a servant in her house
Rejecting the enticlng invitation to
dwell for time upon two other
facts, that practising physician
should be Socialist and that So
cialist should be intent upon having
house full of servants. one plunges
deep into the compelling question,
Why should woman accustomed to
having servants, ami finding herself
without even one, not joyouS.y vel
come the relief of going to Jail?
There's proper study for tho most
studlous. Man, similarly situated,
would offer no such problem. Right
of the bat one can almost hear him
happily exclaim, Warden, old dear,
lead ne to It"
Similarly situated we have said.
That presupposes n man, unmarried.
accustomed to having servants who
served him from the preparation of his
breakfast to the washing Of his din
ner dishes and who daily performed
the appalling multiplicity of house
hold tasks which burden the hours
between breakfast and dinner only
to repeat the daily, never ending
round. Under such afIllction, facing
the performance OF such duties, yet
to refuse the unearned comforts of
Jail ! Why, men have been known I'M
der even less provocation to desert
their homes for their clubs.
The proprlety of the study of wom-
an is exceeded only by the perplexi-
ties it affords.

eral and State laws which seem wise
to their members, and may Of course
evolve means to remedy conditions
which now exist. 1t would be folly,
however, to pretend that repressive
statutes can be framed which will
eliminate malignancy, insanity and
ignorance from men.
In one field there is opportunity
for improvement in the law. The
sale of explosives Is carried on with
reckless disregard for public safety in
many parts of the country. The trade
should be carefully supervised, and
no dealer should be allowed to fill an
order for explosives without Identify
ing the customer. 1t will be said that
assassins IL unable to buy dynamite
will manufacture 1t themselves, but
this would make their diabolical call
Ing harder to follow and expose them
to new risks.
The propaganda OF disorder, vio-
lence and revolution is carried on
necessarily among idle and weak per-
sons. Its publications and its orators
are utterly unconvincing to intelligent,
normal men and women. Because of
this Its possibilities for evil among
the disheartened, vicious and ignorant
are frequently ignored. Yet the fact
remains that foolish though the theo-
ries 1t teaches are, false though the
Illustrations 1t uses are, Its pernicious
influence cannot be denied. In op-
posing 1t there is large field for
educators capable of reaching the
minds of those whom 1t touches.
There are manifest objections to put
ting such an enterprise under official
CONTROL the work would appear to be
more in Line with that done by neigh
borhood clubs, churches and similar
| organizations.
In dealing with this matter one
thing must be remembered: The num-
Der Of revolutionists in the United
States Is small actually and infini-
tesimal In comparison with the law
abiding loyal population. This does
not make the authors of bomb out
RACES less detestable nor will 1t ex-
cuse laxity in their pursuit and pros
ecution, but 1t should serve to keep
our thoughts calm.

The Austrian Delegates to the
Peace Conference.

The announcement Is made at Paris
that preparations are under way for
the reception Of the Austrian dele
gates to the Peace Conference. There
has been, however, no definite infor
nation regarding who will be the
members of this delegation or what
or whom they are to represent.
Austria to-day has come to mean
only German Austria, as Hungary has
come to mean that rather indefinite
portion Of what was once the king
dom Of Hungary which is occupied
by people of the Magyar race. Aus
tria thus includes the ancient Arch
duchy Of Austria, the Duchy Of Sty-
ria, Salzburg, Voralberg and the Ty-
rol. If the present discussed plan of
the dismemberment of Hungary IS
carried out there viii remain as the
new Hungary scaycely more than the
heart of the former kingdom. Tran
sylvania In the east, 1t has been gen.
orally conceded, will become a part Of
Rumania. On the north the country
inhabited by the Slovaks will be in
corporated in the boundaries of the
Czecho-Slovak Government. On the
south Croatia and Slavonia will be
integral parts of Jugo-Slavia.
The former Austrian Empire in the
course Of forming German Austria
will undergo a still more marked
change in the process Of delimitation.
The important portion of Czecho-Slo-
vakia will be made up of Moravia and
the kingdom Of Bohemia. The final
disposition Of Austrian Silesia and the
former kingdom of Galicia is appar-
emily still undetermined. The Czecho-
Slovaks are contending for the ulti-
mate ownership of much of the ST.
lesian province with the Poles. Po-
land Is insisting upon the incorpora-
ton Of all Galicla within her bounda-
ries, while new Ukraine is contesting
with her for eastern Galicia and Blu
kowina.
The former Austrian Empire is in
the west shorn Of the mountain lands
of Carpathia and Carniola; in the
south Of Bosnia, Herzegovina and Dal-
malta. 1t Is these former provinces
or parts Of them that will constitute
her contribution to the upbuilding Of
Jugo-Slavla. She must likewise aban-
don to Italy the Trentino and the
coastal lands of IstIia, az the head Of
the Adriatic Sea.
1t Is then from this shrunken rem
nant Of the Hapsburg realm that the
Austrian delegation will appear at
Paris. Austria, 1t Is announced, will
be made into a neutral republic. Fur
thermore, she is to be prohibited from
entering union with Germany.
Her ACKNOWLEDGMENT came not from
the purpose Of the Allies to award
her territory to victors in the war; 1t
comes from the will of her own peO-
pie. whom she had so long misgov-
erned and misrepresented. to be free
and Independent nations. She will
meet these now Mt the conference
she must meet them in the future as
neighbors, for upon these once enslaved
peoples will depend her own national
and economic existence.

INCITING DISORDER.
A Protest Against Red Appeals II
Circulars or Speeches,

To THE EDITOR OF THE SuN--Sir: Is
to be wondered at that bombs are being
sent through the malls and the Bolshe-
Wiki are agitating generally. when such
printed matter as the enclosed no-work-
on-May-l circular is permitted to be
spread broadcast over the city without
the strong arm of the law interfering?
And just think, 1t bears a union label,
Notwithstanding we are told that efforts
are making among unions to stamp out
the I. w. w. and the Bolsheviki.
secret service man told me while
ago that no really good results could
come from their efforts to suppress
the revolutionares until a few were
backed up against a fence. He added :
What good does 1t do to make arrests?
The courts don't convict. Look at the
cases OF Nearing. O'Leary. Max East
man and others" repeat. is it TO be
wondered at that the enemies OF the
country are attempting murder?

Are Italy's Sacrifices Forgotten in the
Fiume DiscusslOni

To THE EpIroR OF THE SuN-Sir: 4
am writing as an American to give my
opinion ON the Fiume question.
Italy has sacrificed as much as any
other of our Allies and still some peo-
rle don't know 1t. BY historical and
natural rights Fiume belongs to Italy,
ard Fiume has desired to become a part
of Italy.
Italy fought with all her heart and
might against civilization's enemy. the
Teutons, but through some blunder her
armies were forced to retreat to the
Piave River. but with revenge burning in
her heart she cried. They shall not
pass" They did not pass, and before
the world expected anything Italy had
started an offensive that put a whirl-
wind finish to the Austrian Empire. and
which later caused the downfall of the
Hohenzollerns.
Inside OF two weeks she captured
5000 men, 5000 guns and regained
ali italian territory IN enemy hands and
also the provinces she went into the war
for. Italy won the greatest battle in
history. the war was won on the Ital-
ian front. but Italy is not getting the
pia that she deserves.
Now that the war is over Italy is de-
MED what rightfully belongs to her. Does
President Wilson know that II Italy had
not caused the downfall of Austria Ger
many would not have been SO easily
beaten?
President Wilson's place is in the
United States. Europe can keep her
peace without the aid OF the United
States. The Americans are loved by
every Italian, but President Wilson Is
trying to break our friendship.

Perhaps the nearest approach that
has been made in this country to the
Swiss system of universal training so
desirable in peace as an agent OF physi-
cal improvement of the nations youth
are the summer camps for reserve
officers. These camps, limited of course
to n particular class. have been de-
signed for intensive preparation in a
period OF six weeks, for which purpose
the War Department has provided six
cantonments. Were similar camps
instituted for the physical education,
with a military training. of all citizens
on n voluntary plan the Swiss system
would be surpassed because OF the
absence of compulsion. which does not
always make for harmony.

A Change of Pace Recommended
After the Victory Loan.

To THE EDITOR OF THE SUN--Sir: When
the Victory Loan drive is over and its
success has been absolutely assured it
would seem advisable that some public
comment be made on the subject Of
drives" recommending that the people
OF the nation stop all drives. except for
governmental purposes, that instead Of
continually driving" we learn to walk
and work and create, and so increase
our usefulness TO the community and
advance the prosperity of our country.

The Theft From the Metropolitan
Museum Of Art.

According to his own confession an
East Side boy Of fifteen pocketed an
tique jewelry and rare books to the
value Of $4,000 at the Metropolitan
Museum of Art and calmly walked
out of the building. AS remarkable
as the theft was, still more remark
able was the ease with which 1t was
committed. The youth forced one of
the cases and selected the objects
which from his own knowledge he
knew were OF most value. There was
apparently no suspicion directed to
him; he disclosed himself as the thief
by attempting to sell some OF the
stolen books.
When the magnitude and value OF
the collections It houses are consid-
cred the Metropolitan Museum has
been slgnally free from losses by
theft. There has too been m cx-
tremely liberal policy pursued by the
directors in giving access to the mu-
seum's treasures, liberallty of policy
which has been freely taken advnn-
tage of by artisans in metals and tex
tiles seeking patterns and models.
This privilege has never been abused
the directors say.
The Metropolitan Museum, IN fact,
has had fewer thefts than some Of
the European museums with much
more rigid policy and a larger body
of guards. A few years ago In the
verificatlon of the collections at the
HARLEM Museum, Holland, 1t was
discovered that drawings by old mas
tiers, the museums most valued treas
ures, had mysteriously disappeared.
Fra ANGELICo's Madonna della
Stella" valued at 100000, was stolen
from the Musco di San Marco, Flor
ence, Italy, In some unexplainable
manner. After Mona Lisa" so
strangely disappeared from the Lou
vre the French authorities began an
Investigation which showed that 1923
paintings, some of them by such ar
lists as Co2OT, MILLET, BOUCHER, Con-
STABLE and REYNOLDS, were also miss
Ing from the Louvre.
One reason that art thefts are not
more common perhaps is the great
difficulty Of disposlng of the loot to
any advantage to the thieves. Even
with the almost perfect system OF
agents and bribed officials which a
notorious Partisan had at his COM
mand n few years ago 1t was shown
at his trial thnt he realized compare
lively little from almost priceless art
treasures he and his gang had taken
from French churches. The theft of
PINTUmCCIo's famous Madonna and
the Child" from Spello In Umbria had
scarcely been reported before 1t was
recovered. This was ACCOMPLISHED
despite the fact that the thief had
replaced the original by a good repro.
duction and had shipped the master
piece to London. Many Of the thefts
from museums have been committed
by cranks or insane persons, and in
the commission of their crime they
have shown the cunning often dis.
PLAYED by the insane. A famous AIu.

RELEASING THE SAILORS.
Foreign Service Men Would Like to
Come Home.

To THE EDITOR OF THE SUN-Sir. While
there is no doubt that It Is more diff
cult to unscramblc our forces abroad
than II was to scramble them. it would
seem that II n little more judgment in
the unscrambling process were invoked
the results would on the whole prove
happier.
This thought is merely a preface to n
letter have received from n young
friend Of mine who is In the Naval Re
serve service. and who il but one Of
many in thinking that greater rapidity
might be made in returning many of
the young men OF this service to civil
ian life. May beg your indulgence
iE setting forth a few extracts from
this letter? In part he says;
You will probably be surprised TO
hear that am now at Inverness.
Scotland, and that our feet is engaged
in mine sweeping
Shortly after the armistice was
signed we left Queenstown flying our
homeward bound pennants, and made
Plymouth our rendezvous. We laid
there for four months, expecting every
moment to get orders TO return to the
states.
Imagine our disappointment when We
were suddenly shunted to this place.
After a couple OF months duty here we
will engage in sweeping up the 10000
mines our boys laid from the orkney
Islands to Norway.
What We can't understand Is why,
after a year of the hardest kind Of
service. we are not relieved by those
other chaps who did not get a chance
TO see foreign service and are anxious
to get q taste of II.
Personally ! do not know what prog
ress is being made by the navy as COM
pared with the army in returning these
men to civil life, but every reasonable
thinking citizen will agree that demobil-
ization OF this force ought at least TO
keep pace with that Of the ARMY. Many
OF these young men are needed at homo.
The case OF this boy, who, by the way,
Is 10 relative of mine Is one in point.
