To THE EDITOR OF THE SuN-Sir: Tho

actually figures about 1871 feet but il
commonly called 200 feet.
This rule computes all sizes. | think.

are contracted for on the standard or
market basis. In the Province OF Quebec
the Government scale figures much tho
same as this rule which IS considered
fair rule on small and medium sized
logs.
In many parts OF the country what
is known as Doyles rule is used. Now
tho same lot OF spruce logs sold In New
York State under Doyle's scale would
show a loss to the seller of from rs TO
80 per cent. as compared with tho

New York Wants TO Do Honor. to the
Entire Division

To THE EDITOR OF THE SUN--Sir: In
view OF the valorous service rendered
by the Seventy-seventh Division. com
posed of New York city's drafted men,
on the battlefields OF France Il would
be lamentable IL the War Department
officials cannot see their way clear to
allow the entire division to parade up
Fifth avenue.
The War Department officials, in
order to soften the disappointment OF
New Workers.. hold out the hope that
the various regiments composing the
division may parade separately on their
arrival. But what ridiculous idea
this is!
In the first place the people of New
York city wish TO honor the division
as whole and not piecemeal, rs it
were. Secondly. It is unre asonahle TO
SIX the merchants on Fifth avenue to
have their business suspended or Sc
rlously interfered with every time r.
regiment parades.
As to the matter OF tho expense o.
keeping the first units IN camp until
the arrival of the entire division. il
would be money well spent. Perhaps
we will never have the opportunity
again to welcome home what is an all
most entire New York outfit.

ANOTHER LINE OF MARCH.
The Route Around Central Park
Might Prevent 0vercrow ding.

TIC THE EDITOR OF THE SrN-Siy: In
view of the overcrowding along Fifth
Avenue at the parade OF the Twenty
seventh Division and the barring out and
col sequent disappointment of thousands
VINO were unable to get sufficiently
near &c witness the procession Of heroes
and also in view OF the apparent pref
crcnCe given TO Fifth avenue over the
West Side, why not change the route Of
the next parade thus: Starting. say, Mt
West Forty second street and Fifth ave-
nue., instead OF Washington Square, up
Fi'th avenue, around the north side Of
Central Park and down Central Park
West 10 Firty-ninth street and Column
bus Circle?
This route would furnish much bet
ter opportunity for the multitude to
view the parade from the park side
walks and enclosure on three sides in
addition to the space on the opposite
side Of the streets. and would prevent
repetition Of the congestion that al
WAYS Characterizes great paradcs in
lower Fifth avenue, and which involved
absolute danger TO human life in sew
era localities along the recent line OF
march.
II does not seem absolutely necessa ry
tina; the parade should pass under the
arch at Twenty fourth street, and the
great bulk of spectators would have
nearly all of Central Park In which to
disperse, instead of clogging the city
thoroughfares further down town.

NARCOTIC DRUGS.
Strlcter Laws for Their Regulation
Are Demanded.

To THE EDITOR OF THE SUN-Sir: /
have read with amused interest your
report In this mornings paper of the
raid on narcotic prescribers. dispensers
and users. As all the other raids. this
one will finally f1zzle out, and nobody VIII
he punished because they are all careful
to keep within the law.
The fault lies all in the inadequacY
OF the law for the control OF the narcotic
habit. and the Harrison law only legal
ICES INSCRIPTIONS practice.
These accused members of the medi-
cal and pharmaceutical professions
claim to be treating. with the object or
cure. the unfortunate addic:s. They
comply with certain stipulations, such
as taking name, address and age of the
patient. the length of time and the
amount he Is using. the particular drugs
Of which he is an addict they make
an examination and prescribe and dis
pense the amount they think necessary.
1t is n hard matter to prove or dis
prove their good faith in so doing, and
owing to their inability to control the
actions OF the patient they are absolved
from further responsibility. I have
known a particular man go to three
different physicians narcotic prescrib-
ers) on the same day and three diff
ferent druggists, and obtain three times
the amount that he should ordinarily
have had. 1t costs quite some, but then
such men do not figure cost. II they
cannot earn enough they will steal. and
II they cannot steal they will beg, as
their moral standards are lowered be-
yond comprehension.
The fault lies primarily in the law,
which should be modified. Many be-
ginners In drug taking would be saved
II II were difficult to obtain the drug
in the usual manner, as the majority
hate the habit at the start but have not
enough will power to stop.
The narcotic habit will only be con-
trolled by law that will absolutely
prohibit the prescribing and dispensing
OF the noxious drugs in quantities above
the average dose and establish reputa-
Bile licensed institutions under proper
supervision for the cure of habitues.
Making 1t harder for tho individual ply
stefan or druggist only makes 1t more
expensive to the patient and so in
creases the criminal instinct to obtain
more money.
The mehace IL great and 1t needs rad
ical measures The question of personal
liberty ought not to enter into consider
alton. We have deprived our citizens
OF the enjoyment of a mild stimulant like
light wine or beer without conjunction ;
why not attack this real evil more &C
| lively and IL possible destroy 1t?

Victory Note a Good Buy.

By just as much as Secretary
GLAss's Victory Note Is a bad secur-
ity--a very bad security---for the
United States Government to put out.
by exactly as much Is 1t good
security--a miraculously good secur-
ity-for the American investor or for
any investor to buy.
1t Is II bad security for the Govern
ment to sell because, paying Az per
cent. interest, exempt from the nor
NAL income tax, convertible into a
note paying 3si per cent. and free
from both normal and super taxes,
this Victory Note discredits indescrlba-
bly, every other bond which the Gov
eminent has issued. 1t endaHgers the
value of every other American Sc
curity in existence. 1t cripples the
credit of every other borrower in the
country-the individual, the railroad,
the industrial corporation, the munlci.
pality, the State. 1t makes the saw
ings bank return look sick.
1t is for the very reason that 1t
kills normal financing in all other
fields that the Victory Note becomes
security, at whatever sacrifice OF
everything else and at whatever re-
preach upon the name of the United
States Government. which nobody in
his senses can fail 10 take advantage
of when he has the money or can get
it to invest in the Victory Loan.

Of oxen. The professional man or
salarled worker or wage Garner who
can shift his savings into It and beat
the savings banks returns by about
90 per cent. will jump at the chance
unless he needs n guardian. The rich
man who can drop 100000 into it
and escape income taxes on such n
pretty bit Of pin money will not take
four years, the life of the note, TO
figure out what particularly good
thing It Is for him. The same thing
is true of the corporation with spare

The western Spread OF Bols he vism.

The first test of the official work
ing of Bolshevism outside of Russia
appears in the election just held in
Hungary for the formation of Soviet
Councils. The reports from Budapest
say that the majority of the voters
apparently did not know why they
were voting and that the whole proc
ess of the elections was carried on
under the coercion of the Red Army.
The conditions in Hungary were such
that It was not question whether they
were satisfactory, but whether they
twill become worse before they grow
better" One report said that despite
the desperate earnestness Of the Com
munlsts, outsiders in Hungary take
the economic view of the experiment,
which they feel will not develop into
a lasting success"
The gains in the west of which
TRoTzKY boasts are actually reduced
only To the gains recently made. LIZ
NINE some time ago declared that he
had practically abandoned the propa-
ganda in Poland and the Baltic prov
ince, giving as the reason that his
Government did not have the army
necessary for the conversion of that
region. The progress OF BolShevism
westward would thus he represented
by the adoption Of n Soviet rule by
Hungary, the invasion OF Bavaria ny
propagandists from Moscow and Blu
dapest. with the attempted substitu-
ton Of Communism for Socialism and
the capture from the allied forces of
the Black Sea port of Odessn.
Each Of these successes, according
to dispatches. "cauSed considerable
anxiety" in western Europe. The
most recent, the fall of Odessa, 1t
was said, would have the moral eff
feet OF strengthening the Bolshevlst
propaganda and would lead to the
conquest Of Rumania and the Balkan
States. There IS nothing to indicate
that these advantages were attained.
The Balkan States with their sparse
rural population and democratic gov
ernments have refused TO accept Boil
shevism. Rumania, a State of large
landholders and Of limited popular
representation, was believed 10 he
an especially good field for the spread
of Communistic principles. Despite

DOUGHNUTS AND CRULLERS.
Also Nameless DellCacy Made OF
Fried Pastry.

To THE EDIToE OF THE STN--Sir: To

Information about fried dough goodies
in answer to I'D s. question regarding
doughnuts and crullers
The word doughnut applies TO a piece
OF bread dough cut round with a hole
In It's centre. The word cruller applies
to plated strip OF the same dough,
To make the cruller or doughnut less
tough add few eggs and handle as
you would pie crust,
Now the home made doughnut, the
most delicious Of them all. has never
had n name OF its own. IT is not really
doughnut. 1t Is a fried pastry cake.
Tho pastry cake, being OF better quail
ity, should develop its name and not
cause trouble by CHASING itself with a
cheap doughnut.

greater loyalty than before the war
to the existing form of monarchical
government.
Hungary, considered in every re-
spect the most fertile soil for the
growth Of the doctrine of Bolshevlsm,
represents an uncertain conquest for
the Moscow Government. The devel-
opments would indicate considerable
foundation for the earlier reports that
lIungary's change was due less to the
work of propagandists than TO the
willingness of KARoLyI to turn the
Government over to weak commu-
nstic body for the effect that such a
transfer would have at Paris.
In Bavaria, where Bolshevism ac-
tually met strong opposition, 1t has
made no progress outside of Munich,
and Its hold on power there Is
apparently of the slightest. The
peasants and the farmers have taken
such q decided stand against the
movement, which they considered
was entirely engineered by the Spar
tacus group at Berlin and by the rep
resentatives of LENINE and TROTzKY
at Budapest, that 1t has entirely lost
the character of a national uprising.
HoFMANN, the Socialist leader, de-
clares that the only hope for Bolshev-
ism Is an army from Moscow, and
Of this there appears at present no
likelihood. The situation Is, as
HoFMANN declared that 1t would be,
practical separation of Bavaria
from Munich, which must be eventu-
ally forced to capitulate through the
refusal of the rest Of the State to
furnish It supplies.
OF the situation in other districts
Of Germany there are naturally con-
flicting reports. The strikes at Es-
sen and at the Industrial sections Of
the Rhine valley have been attributed
TO the activity Of the Bolshevist prop
agandists, as represented by the Spar
tacus group. The Berlin revolution,
which was undertaken by this group
at time when it seemed there was the
most likelihood Of its success, was put
down not by the army alone but by
the people. The Spartacans were de-
feated and lost their two most ag-
gressive leaders in LTEBKNEcHr and
Rosa LUxEMBCRG. There has so far
no one arisen who possessed the same
faculty of organization or leadership
either of these possessed.
The Minister of National Defence,
NosKE, a workingman and answering
in every way to LENINE's description
of n proletarian, has been able to
suppress without great difficulty all
strikes and outbreaks by the extremist
elements of the population. He has
shown that he has at his command
an army capable Of maintaining order :
he has announced his intention Of
combating Bolshevism, and has shown
his ability to prevent it from getting
control of the Government. There is,
in fact, no good reason for believing
that Germany will become Bolshevist
unless its present rulers decide that
it shall be. Bolshevism no doubt
remains menace to western Europe,
but as n subterfuge for forcing favor
able peace for the former German
Empire and Austria Hungary i: is los
ing its power.
