When neither danger, sickness pain
Nor death, nor want, have entered

We are as many as we were
That other night when all were
gay
And full of hope and free from care
Yet is there something gone away
The moon without, as pure an(

Is shining as that night she shone
But now to us she brings no balm,
For something from our hearts Il
gone.
Something whose absence leaves .
void
A cherries want in every heart;
Each feels the bliss of all destroyed
And mourns the change-but each

AS redly as it used to burn;
But still the hearth is desolate,
Till mirth and love and peace re-

Twas peace that flowed from heart

With looks and smiles that spoke
of heaven;
And gave us language impart
The blissful thoughts itself had

THE DAY OF THE BOY

This is the day of the boy. Never
before has there been SO much atten-
ton paid to the right bringing up OF
the boys of this country.
Those ~of the older generation often
say that they wish that when they
were boys they had had the opportun-
tiles now presented for reasonable
and sensible recreation, for the
chance to learn the many things that
boys now learn under the wisest and
hearts of boys.
broadcast supervision of men with
hearts of boys.
In the older days there was, or
there seemed to be, great gulf be.
tween the man and the boy, except in
very few cases. Fathers either did
not take the intimate interest in their
sons that they now do, or the boys
were harder to understand and to ap.
proach. In any event, there were
not the many agencies for interest.
ing boys and intoxicating right princi.
Piles as there are now.
If there is any difference between
the young boy and the boy grown old.
er and perhaps grayer, it is not now
so noticeable. II one desires to in
terest any group of men, now, all he
has to do is to propose something for
the benefit of the boys Of the com.
munity.
And under that wise and kindly
feeling Of the men for the men Of the
coming direction, boys have taken a
very prominent place in the world
and are proving their right to con.
sideration, respect, encouragement
and help.
In none of the regular agencies now
working for the advantage of the
boy is there one that has done more
for the boy and for all boys than the
great organization known the world
over as the Boy Scouts. y
Readers are too familiar with that
organization and too we'll versed in
it's activities to need any extended ex.
PLANTATION of it's work and its success.
Briefly, the organization takes
groups of boys and organizes them
into sort of military troupe. Under
the leading of men of experience the
boys are trained in the qualities that
make for manhood, are given a
chance to learn much of out door life,
to act correctly under emergencies,
to care for themselves under all Con.
ditions, and above all, they are taught
the value of service to mankind, to be
courteous and helpful And this is
all done while giving the youngster
the time of his life. Serious lessons
are taught, deep problems are solved
while at the same time the boy is
having vast deal of healthy amuse.
ment and recreation.
While the organization is interna.
tional in scope, it does not yet have
the following or the membership it
deserves. 1t has been determined

On the Bowerv

Zero weather in New York, and at
the Bowery Mission only one man
applied Wednesday night for bed |!
The Municipal Lodging House, with
e capacity for 918 men and women,
had sixty-four guests. Bread lines
no longer string out their queues of
shivering men with shufiling feet.
Truly great change, attributable
to the high wages and to the paucity
of imbibable alcohol. Once there was
a theory that the "bum" would not
work. But he will-at a price--and
if the job hunts him. The sandwich
man now gets So where formerly he
received so cents, and talks of form
ing a union. For the dishwasher SO
and board was once the ruling wage
rate, but no longer. The question of
whether or not life is easier for
those on the fringes Of society is bet
ter answered by a walk down the
quiet and orderly Bowery than by
all the tables Of statisticians inter
ested in upholding a preconceived
opinion.
One applicant at the Bowery Mis-
sion! The fact makes foolishness OF
a vast body of hectic sociological lit
erature.
New-York tribune., 1919-12-20

the Senate is that some Senators, of
whom Senator Hitchcock has been
one of the gravest offenders, respond
to Executive dictation. Let them be-
come free Senators, obedient to their
own conceptions of public duty, and
settlement will be quickly reached.
And if the business is done in the
Senate it is unlikely that the Pres-
dent will pigeonhole the treaty. If
he does, of course there is no remedy;
but it is safe to assume he won't.
Senator Underwood has raised the
banner Of Senatorial independence
and, greatly to his credit, refuses
longer to be a ventriloquist. Every
friend Of ratification should exert
himself to use the influence he pos
sesses, not on Senator Lodge and his
associates, for they do not need con-
version or stimulation, but on the
group of Senators who went into
coalition with the Borah group to
vote down the only kind of rcserva-
tion which is possible.

Eight Cents for WHAT

To the Editor of The Tribune.
Sir; Eight-cent fares? Not, I hope,
until the lnterborough shows not only a
Willingness but a capacity to improve
the service. AS one who has to spend
an hour standing up in overcrowded
cars, riding from 176th Street and
Jerome Avenue to Brooklyn Bridge
every morning, in a train that crawls
and jerks all the way down the line, I
want to suggest my belief that increased
fares won't operate to make transit
conditions better. The subway people
themselves make no contention that the
money would make things better. They
need it to break even. l for one don't
want to encourage them to break even
on the kind Of service they are giving.

That BaMed Vulture
Reflections of an Aviator Upon a
Marvellous Bird

To the Editor of Tho Tribune.
Sir: The account of the battle be-
tween aviator and vulture which won a
headline on The Trbune's front page
this morning awakens ones interest in
this little understood menace to avia-
ton, the full details of which for the
first time appear with the story of this
Moulmain bird.
The vulture appears to have been
huge in size, and so he must have
been, since he shattered the propeller
OF the alrplane on the first pique and
even then remained with lust unsatis-
fed. Adequate justice is not done the
bird to describe him merely as huge.
One must be fair to the bird. He must.
too, have been unusually speedy, since
no other bird in the world ever over
took an airplane that moves through
the air at 40 miles an hour
1t Is true that Burmah "weather con-
ditions" stayed the airplane's speed on
this occasion. But the sagacious vul-
ture, with rare headwork, outwtted
the weather conditions" and "circled
above" the sluggish machine while he
planned his attack. Little did the
French aviator dream of the resources
of his "feathered enemy"
One must wonder whether the
"feathered enemy" lost any of his
feathers in his "baffled attack" which
broke the propeller. An ordinary me-
chanlc interruptng the revolutions of
propeller would have been cleft from
crown to toe. The iron constitution Of
this bird can be estimated from the
fact that he felt merely baffled and not
annoyed by his contact with this pro-
peller. He "continucd the struggle. ."
moreover, which is greatly to his
credit.
Too much praise cannot be given the
victorious aviator, who, despite the
weather conditions" and his propeller
less airplane, pluckily continued to
"search the mountain tops for half an
hour for suitable landing place" He
deserved to find one after such a feat
1t is no surprise that such a miraculous
navigator should soon whittle out an
other propeller from nearby mahogany
trees and olithely resume his journey
How baffled the bird must have felt
at this spectacle! Anybody would. The
bird should not be blamed.

Campanini's Service

A fine name in music Cleofonte
Campanini bore, and he added
to it high repute and wide popular
favor in his own chosen field. In
the dozen years since he first ap-
peared upon the local scene much
music has come and gone, but no
feat of leadership and direction
has equaled that extraordinary
achievement which Oscar Hammer
stein conceived and executed so sue
cessfully largely through the aid
and wisdom of Campanini. To
apportion credit in such a venture
is difficult and risky. But, at least,
we have in the later and still going
success of the Chicago company
proof of the directing genius of
Hammerstein's conductor. Just as
there were in 1905 unheard operas
and unheard singers only waiting to
be heard to become popular favorites,
so to his death Campanini was able
to produce great operas and great
singers, new and stirring.
An Italian born and bred was
Campanini; yet it was in the pro-
duction Of French opera that he
captured the imagination of his
public. Largely, too, it was with
French artists--Renaud, Gilbert,
Dufranne, Bressler- -Gianoli, Dal-
mores-that he met the rivalry of the
established Metropolitan. From the
puelic's point of view there can be
no doubt of the loss to New York
when Campanini moved to Chicago.
"Pelleas ct Melisande" and "Louise," !"
for two operas, made an unforget-
table impression upon the drama low
ing public, an impression which leaves
wholly aside their precise musical
quality. An admirable operate con-
ductor and an energetic director
one Of the most distinguished in both
feds that Americans of living gen
erations have seen, was Campanini
HIS death stlrs regrets for the loss
OF an interesting personality and 70,
musical service That will be sadly
missed.

Europe Is Wiling

The Paris Temps, which is in close
touch with the French government.
sa q a week or more ago that the
Gehate's reservations to the peace
treaty were not Objectionable to
france. 1t went even further and
declared that they contain certain
interpretations which it would be to
our lFranccs] interest to SANCTION"
I.ils newspaper has now pune
tured another fction-namelv. that
the reservations are in themselves
Objectionable to the British govern
ment. 1t says
AS matter of discretion the
French and British governments have
not made any official request of
Washington, but everybody knows
what they think. France thinks that
none OF the reservations and inter-
pretations voted by the American
Senate do any irreparable damage
to the Treaty of Versailles. Great
Britain asks simply for the sup
preston of the preamble"
Many of the Presidents SUPPORT
ers have put forward broad and
generous Interpretation of his oppo-
sltion to the reservations. They
have said that he was trying to
avoid giving offense to France.
Great Britain and Italy by submit
ting to them qualifications of the
treaty and the league covenant
which it would mortify them to have
to accept. He himself said in his
letter to Senator Hitchcock that the
reservations would "nullify" the
treaty, the implication being that
they would nullify it by making ap
proval of it in its modified form i'm
possible for the major Entente
powers.
sNhat remains of this artful sug
gestion? Nothing so far as France
is concerned. Nothing also so far
as Great Britain is concerned, ex-
cept the wish that acceptance shall
be tacit instead Of through a formal
exchange of notes.

Mr.. Mondell's AK

Mr.. Mondell, the House leader,
says that the estimates for 192O-'21
must be scaled down a billion dol
lars. If he succeeds in cutting ST.
00000O.000 out of the Treasury's
budget he will be entitled to a statue
'some day in the old chamber Of the
House Of representatives, now uti-
lized as Hall of Fame.
Mr.. Mondell is right in holding
that no more taxes ought to be
levied and no more bonds ought to
be sold. The only alternative is to
reduce Federal expenditure, which,
under war conditions, has been ac-
companied by enormous waste. High
taxes and government loans have
contributed to push up and keep up
the cost of living. Statesmen and
economists are eXhorting the aver
age citizen to be sparing and to
avoid extravaganza. This advice
would be needed more generally if
the government itself should set a
shining example of frugality.
The Secretary Of the Treasury
estimated the appropriations re-
quired for the next fiscal year at
S4,ss5 100000. Next year will be
the critical year. If we get through
it with total expenditure Of less
than four billions the corner will be
turned. Government requirements
will lapse toward normal. The
burden Of oppressive taxation,
thrown on the consumer eventually,
may be lifted. Mr.. Mondell has
furnished no bill of specifications,
but he has set a goal which the pub
lie hopes to see him attain. More
power to his pruning knife-or
should it be his ak?
