PARIS FIREMEN
PLAY BASEBALL IN
QUEENS GARDEN

Paris, May Boy maiD.-Strange
and raucous outcries profane or at
least enliven the peaceful and roman
tic atmosphere OF what was once the
garden Of Gabrielle d'Estrange's pal
ace in the Rue de Sevigne, where
that charming lady of Old France
walked and talked with Henri of Ma
varre more than three centruies ago.
The -'pom&ers.'' or firemen, are
learning to play American basketball,
coached by Charlie Jones, an athletic
director and instructor of the Ameri-
can Y. NJ. c. A.
The firemen of Paris play basket
ball in GabrieIIe's old garden, wear
ing brass helmets as they play and
shouting ''panier" and lie baIlon'' and
occasionally-when too closely guard
accomplishing "retenu un adver-
saire" at the top of their most excel
lent lungs. They are learning the
game rapidly and as their American
teachers say, they eat it up"
1t just suits the Gallo temperament.
as was promptly perceived by Major
Cauchois, the veteran commandant Of
the fire department, decided after
watching his first game. He asked
that the "Y'' send a teacher to head
quarters and ordered that all the fire
stations in Paris send delegation to
the lessons. which Mr.. Jones has been
giving thrice a week.

A WAITING GAME.

At last there are signs of starting
something in Paris.
The apparent inaction at the peace
conference is disturbing many people,
including the newspapers. Evidently
the diplomatists handling this great
undertaking are making haste to go
slowly. President Wilson, having avow-
ed his purposes in general terms a
year ago and having toured the most
of Europe that is tourable and met
the people face to face, is content to
await the pleasure of the conference,
no matter how impatient he may be to
turn his face once more to American
shores. His policy of silence since re-
turning from Italy was a judicious
move. The American delegates have
maintained the same relative attitude
of patience, so that in point of fact
there has been nothing more added to
the fourteen points of any nature.
Whether they were intended to be
tentative as Il program remaefs to be
seen. Mr.. Roosevelt tore them to tat
tiers among his last acts, but there

the problem than they offer. Playing
the waiting game is an old and wise
process of bringing things about. The
world wants peace, but it wants wise
and guaranteed peace. 1t is going to
have no other If Mr.. Wilson remains
firm he will find himself the gamer by
it, He is surrounded by other wise
men who have the worlds interest at
heart. The moment is tense and won
derful. More depends upon discretion
than ambition. In fact. personal aims
must be eliminated. No man could
come TO the peace table without self
abnegatiOn. Napoleons are not in Par
is. nor are they needed, nor are Fred
eriekS nor Caesars.

RED CROSS "SLAckERS."

Considerable has been written about
so called Red Cross "slackerS." OF
course such a condition, unhappily, eX-
listed. But it was more Of an exception
than the rule The real workers for
Red Cross paid little heed, and cared
less, for those who chose to remain idle
when the call of their country was
greatest An appreciation for IN
SELFISH duty is not for every person
to assert. In the main the Red Cross
workers, men and women alike, were
honest, devoted, sincere and patient.
The women of America played the lead
ing part and did the greater work in
Red Cross endeavors. That all wo-
men of our towns and villages did not
jump in and remain at the work was
not in any sense a cause for either at
tack or insinuation No country ever
worked with the will America showed
in this war. Take any village-Pali-

all did the most wonderful things for
the country in the war. There never
was anything like it. So far as the war
purpose, the war stride, the war spirit,
the war feeling was concerned, we were
just catching its real meaning when
suddenly it all ended after that short
four months roundup of the Hun. 1t
was an amazing performance, but
scarcely less of a deed of heroic pro-
portions than our own labOrS here nj
home. Americas home endurance was
no small part of the war, and the Red
Cross stands out as it's most illuStri-
Gus achievement in the subsidiary eff
forts that brought about such wonder
full final results. Making our men in
the trenches and camps comfortable
was one of the things that helped win
the war AS in the army, an occasion

atty of the greater army of manhood of
which he was the veritable flea.

waves do not sweep countries in this
fashion. Perhaps it is due to an ap-
probation of the higher world aims
induced by the winning of the war.
Americas moral force in the war was
as strong factor as its physical side.
But the great, momentouS enemy of all
mankind is King Alcohol. DethrOning
the kaiser was no more signal a vic
tory for the world than the topping
off his perch of this heinous monster.
If the liquor interests had sought to
prevent the ABUSE of liquor there
would have been some hope for the
traffic. But a revtalized world sees
how little liquor is needed, and is
about to put it aside as among the non
essentials. Now there will be fewer
widows and orphans.

BORROWED PLUMAGE.

A nearby newspaper, with the sup
posed owners name hoisted at the
masthead as editor, some months ago
took up with the idea of buying at a
cheap price syndicated editorials. OF
course they never have any local ap-
plication or significance, and in the
main are out of tune with local senti-
meDt and local ideals. A newspaper
should be at least in sense an eX-
ponenr of the local atmosphere in the
place where it is published. In the pa
per in question some of these syndicat-
ed editorials have been given local
suggestion which would fit any com
munity. The individuality of a news
paper, whatever it is, weak or strong,
should be it's own. And no editor who
has the slightest suggestion of pride
will attempt to palm off on an unsus-
pecting public editorial utterances that
are bought and paid for

loser 1t is gratifying to know that,
unyielding as he appeared to be at
first on the League of Nations pro-
posal, he finally agreed to the general
idea with modified proposals of his
own. Chief of these was that smaller
nations were not to have equal voice
with larger states. This no doubt will
be adopted in the final acceptance of
principles, and nowhere in Mr.. Will
sons proposals does it appear specifi-
cally that a Switzerland would have
equal voice in control with France We
do not believe Mr.. Wilson ever thought
of such a thing.
But all this is unimpOrtant now. The
League of Nations is already in pro-
cess of formation. Mr.. Taft's sugges-
ton that the recalcitrant leaders all
get on the band wagon has borne fruit
in unexpected places. And the fact
that Theodore Roosevelt accepted the
broad idea of League of Nations
proves that he, too, saw the light, re-
CARELESS of his effort to sustain his
rigid views of President Wilson.

Submarines Iifeboat.

For a long time attempts have been
made to evolve some sensible scheme
for permitting a crew to escape when
q submarine sinks, gets ensnared in a
net, or for some reason becomes I'M
manageable while under water. An
invention that has lately been protect
ed by patents is described in Popular
Mechanics. 1t is lifeboat and, in
reality, small auxiliary submarine
that normally Is held in concave seat
constructed In the top part of the large
craft. Water-tight hatchways are, pro-
vided In each of the vessels, so that ac-
cess from one to the other Of them Is
possible. 1t is intended to offer safe
retreat for some thirty persons. Elec-
trio and gasoline motors would propei
it and give it radius Of action esti-
mated at about 500 miles. In the event
of accident, members Of the crew
would enter the lifeboat, close the
hatchways, free the small craft by I'M
screwing two large bolts that anchor
it to the larger one, and rise to the
surface.

BRIDGES AND TUNNELS.

The recent harbOr strike in New
York brings TO the fore again the ne
cessity of getting down to the work of
getting some other method of crossing
the Hudson river besides the present
antiquated forms. If Tammany Hall
and the New Jersey politicians could
only be brought to their senses and
made to drop the selfish ends to be
subserved long enough the bridge and
half q dozen traffic tunnels would be
started on their way of construction
right away. Instead all effort to get
bridge or tunnel has up to this time
deteriorated into mere talk. What is
now wanted is action. Governor Wal
ter E. Edge has always appeared as a
man of action. In politics he has been
particularly happy in bringing order
out of difficult state problems. 1t is
about as cock-sure as anything could
we'll be regarded that if Governor Edge
sets about the task of building the
bridge or tunnels they will go forward
with almost deadly certainty. What has
long been needed for both of these en-
terpriseS is a leader--a man who, know
ing how and with the punch, will step
forward and deliver it where it will
have the desired effect. Gen. Cocktails
latest defy to the effect that bridge
over the Hudson would possibly inter-
fere with the movement of war vessels
in time of war was worse than puerile.
In the first place, the country is not
at this time thinking of another war,
and in the next place engineering skill
certainly ought to be able to make a
bridge across the Hudson of sufficient
height to allow for all mast heights on
every sort of ship or vessel. 1t is
strange that warships can and do go
under the East river bridges, but could
not under Hudson bridge. Somebody
is being fimhammed.

Harbor Strike and Labor.

The harbor strike was only another
demand of labor for a greater share in
the profits of capital. All of the signs
Of the times in this country tend to
show labor to be after more pay, with
less profit for capital. The man who
works feels today more than ever that
capital has long enough overly protited
from labor, without which capital
would be mpOtent. The truth is labor
leaders are now possessed of sufficient
ability to tote their own skillet, and
they are calling strikes in vulnerable
spots because the squeeze play is their
only weapon. Where they can they
force---call it moral force if you like,
yet force it is. They argue, too, that
condition, and when they fail in strik-
ing they can only wait for more pro-
pitious time-then strike again. All
the time it is the demand. One Won
ders if they will not some time over
step the bounds. Capital may some
time be SO exhausted that labor will
become the victim of it's own greed.
but tneS argue lllat capital Is Always
graSpng Few labOring men have been
rich, though many of the leaders have
all the Injuries they seem to want.
Labor evidently seeks, and with some
reason to bring capital to an equiva-
lent plane Of mutual dependence. Both
are so closely related that the degree
of right to share what labor produces
for capital is Il fine question to decide.
And there are two sides to it. Each
ought to be just.

President Wilson's Initiative.

President Wilson, speaking to Italy
the other day, did the most daring
thing he has undertaken. He told
them that laboring men We're so much
the essential factors of government
and society that their position was not
longer to be questioned. In fact, MI.
Wilson SO cracked up the common peO-
pie as necessary adjuncts to civiliza-
ton that some of the more naughty la
Dor leaders will make great deal of
capital out of his speeches. Reports
from portions of Europe indicate that
this movement has already begun. But
it will make little difference to Mr..
Wilson. He generally says what he
thinks on all subjects, whether wisely
or not, it is in the record of his spoken
words. OF course President Wilson did
not mean to say that all working men
were the equal to the average every
day business man the world over. That
was not what he meant. But when a
working man thinks enough of himself
to rise in intellectual capacity; when
Palisadian. [volume] (Cliffside Park, N.J.) 1906-current, 1919-01-18

he becomes better educated; when he
assumes to refine himself; when he
lends those graces of manner and per-
son that makes the man at the head OF
our factories and business establish
ments generally, he will become part
of the real social fabric. There are
many kinds of brains. Culture does
not always make brains, and an educa-
ton does not make a manly man al
ways. A brick mason may be as fine n
gentleman in the abstract as the col
lege graduate. There are no college
brick masons, therefore the college
man has precedent in the social status.
But labor is coming on apace, and after
awhile it may be as much honor to be
the finest stOnecutter as it is to be the
lordliest bank clerk. We place our de-
greeS OfentimeS on unworthy Shout
ders. When the father of today who
has fine factory, bank or store will
welcome his foreman into his home as
his social equal labor will have con-
quered the world. But the main thing
to consider in this connection is, VIII
the social orders coordinate this way?
And does labor want to attain this kind
of equality?

OUR SUNSETS.

Our local reporter occasionally sights
one of the many wonderful palisade
sunsets and remarks about it, Some
of his efforts at description have been
eXtravagant in praise, but this was due
to his enthusiastic daring. Feeling
the inspiration of the great spectacle
spread out in the western sky, he has
ion to portray a picture-to give an
adequate idea of which no words can
convey. Turner, the great English eX-
pOnent of sunset art. sought often in
his pigment and canvas to convey AIDE
quate limitations of the glories of the
evening in the sky But his most am
bilious achievements are regarded by
many as Overdrawn, when, in truth,
such views of these overwhelming dis
plays on the canvas of the sky could
not be exaggerated. Many of Thomas
Moran'S sunsets, the most ardent mod
ern disciple of Turner. are looked upon
as unreal, when as matter of fact
sunsets we have noticed from atop the
Palisades could never be initiated. 1t
would be impossible to reproduce such
bOundlesS imagery wrought in the fam
ciful colorings of the Great Magician
above. A Palisade sunset becomes at
times so all absorbing in wonderment
as to make us oblivious, almost, to
truth in describing it. They are the
poets dream and the artists inspira-
ton. Yes, and they make us think of
Gods power and purpose as they raise
us to the seventh heaven of delight in
beholding their wonders.

Quiet on Peace Commission.

The news that the peace commission
was about to get start at Paris last
Sunday caused little or no interest in
the village. Everybody seems to take
it for granted that things are going to
work out right because the world is
sick at heart of war. If only some
definite conclusion could be arrived at
regarding armament. A large standing
army is at all times a menace to the
worlds peace. No matter what nation
maintains a large army, it is always a
challenge to somebody. If England

how it would terminate. But no one

TAXING AUTOMOBILES IN FORT
LEE.

A radical departure was made this
year in the borough of Fort Lee.
Heretofore automobile owners. have
not paid tax. Now, if a man own no
other property and owns an automO-
bile he is taxed for it. There have
been some rather broad interpretations
of the order for this form of taxation.
\ case in point being that of mother
and daughter owning car jointly, the
daughter registering the car in her
own name being taxed. No eXplana-
ton of the joint ownership was admis-
Sible. Another case was where a man
bought an automobile as Il used car
and had not owned it more than few
months. He was promptly made to
pay ii tax on it. The law does not tax
property until it has been in posses
sion year. But then one may look
to see any form of taxation in Fort
Lee after the mention of the question
able records of the Sanford boss as
SeSSed valuations and also of the ALI
son Land Company inequalities. In
stead of being a high priest of the
people some tax assessors in these
times are mere tOOtS, with the tenden-
cies of the devil himself and no cour-
age except gall But they get away
with it because there are none to say
them nay. Nobody cares, and if they
do they do not dare oppose.

of the conference. The conference is
fighting Germany as hard as the allies
fought her. And at the peace table
Germany is this minute fighting for
disrupting it as hard as she fought in
the war. 1t is alone for this reason
that at least the conference organiza-
ton should be secretly perfected. The
armistice tied Germany's hands, but it
did not throttle her voice. Her diplO-
mats are still devilish and must be
held at arms length. After awhile,
maybe, there may be open sessions of
the peace conference, but not now.
The actual determination on Germany's
punishment is none of her business
until sentence is passed. This is the
kind of justice just jury will award.
