Manhattan's Shining Portals.

After little journey in the world
Of these United States the homecomer
by rail is struck afresh by the shining,
ordered cleanliness of New York's own
portals. In other cities smoke stained
train sheds Cypress his vision and
dull his spirit; sulphurous vapors add
the last touch Of supertorrld heat
engendered by his journey, and scrap
Uttered tracks prick at his sense Of
neatness. Waiting rooms, II it be his
portion to utilize them, are untidy
under foot and depressing overhead.
Nowhere else in public architecture is
the beamed ceiling so pondetous and
SO undecorative in its oiled and var
nished timbers. The dining rooms are
places for feeding and little else.
They know not the graces of snowy
linen. of cool glassware, Of the color
Of flowers. And Of the delights OF
gastronomy they are totally void.
Moreover. travelling impedimenta are
IN actual burden to the flesh /; for the
quick handed red cap" is conspicu-
Gus by his absence. And when the
traveller pays the fixed tariff of the
taxicab from station to hotel he may
well wonder how New York ever won
a reputation for overcharging.
Electricity has had much to do with
making Manhattan's two chief por-
tails, the New York Central and Penn
sylvania stations, free Of sooty and
smoke filled train sheds. But that Is
only one phase Of their atmosphere
Of cleanliness. Their Housekeeping"
admits of no Uttered tracks; their
wide e1panses Of stone ramp and floor
and corridors know no dust nor mud
under foot by some magic. Of unseen
porters' brooms and swabs Their
marble walls, noble vaulted ceilings
and great windows might be the COM
ponent elements Of some temple de-
voted to Hygeia. so speckless are they.
If he must abide q while in their
waiting rooms the travellers aesthetic
senses are uplifted by the serene pro-
portions of these great apartments; II
he will eat he may amid the refine
ments Of the table; and II he Is but
a homecomer he will find porters to
Tighten his burdens, and clean, clicked
taxicabs to carry him to his journeys
beginning and end. 1t Is not the least
Of the pleasures Of that journeys end
that it should pass through one Of
Manhattan's shining portals that are
symbols Of that gorgeous and shining
metropolis we call New York.

blending Of vision and common sense
which enabled you to get all you

happy occasion, the pain of remember.

From the significance Of the CO.
incidence that this week Of the R-3t's
departure is the third anniversary
week Of the Deutschland's arrival a
hope that tho two innovations viii! not
follow similar careers must be drawn.
The commercial possibilities which the
Deutschland opened are as debatable
as those Of the Rae. Nevertheless
the German submersible came and
went, and to this moment no further
attempts have been made to continue
practical experimentation In her line;
but when the British dirigibie departs,
when the wind has subsidized, the hope
Is to be expressed that she and her
sisters will make the voyage repeat
eddy until the interesting novelty be-
comes a valuable commonplace.

The Day OF Brass Tacks.

Our neighbor the World goes a lit
tie too far, We fear, in the direction
Of complete misunderstanding Of the
situation when 1t says: 1.-THE signifi-
canoe Of the great popular demonstra-
ton In welcome to the President In
this city ought not to be lost upon
Washington"
Several things combined to produce
the demonstration aforesaid and to
contribute to its magnitude and fer
vor. Never before in the history Of
the nation did President of the
United States arrive at this port Of
entry after an absence of seven
months from the seat of Government.
1t was a unique occasion, even more
compelling of popular interest than
the arrival of the first dlrigible to
cross the Atlantic. If President VIII
SON departed with much more than
half Of his fellow citizens seriously
In doubt of the wisdom or necessity
Of his going, the joy over the return
to his post of official duty was nearly
unanimous and was expressed in this
town with enthusiasm. A ceremonial
progress such as was arranged for
Tuesday by the faithful members of
Mr.. WILSON'S Cabinet, aided by the
uncommonly astute and imaginative
talent of Brother TUMUITY, naturally
appealed to the disposition of our
vast population to join heartily and
good naturally in an event Of spec
tacular importance. 1t was mani
testify welcome to the President of
the United States, not to the cove
nant of League OF Nations. The
distinction will certainly not be lost
upon Washington.
We are not sure yet whether Presi-
dent WILSON will choose this day,
Thursday, or some later day for max
ing to the Senate Of the United States
and to the American people that full,
specific, coherent, definite and lucid
explanati Of his doings at Paris
and his intentions with regard to the
future of American policy which the
people have the right to expect Of
him and which it is to his own po-
litical interest to make now for the
first time in straightforward, CON
stitutional fashion.
Whether to-day or some other day
Witnesses the change of method in his
treatment Of this all important sub
ject, the day of that change Of method
will be the day Of brass tacks In the
intercourse between President WILSON
and the coordinate part Of the treaty
making power of the United States,
and his fellow countrymen generally.
Tuesday should be the last day Of
vague oratory and evasive generali-
ties respecting the covenant and the
League and Americas duty Of SER
vice to humanity. The day of brass
tacks cannot come too quickly.

The speech made by Mr.. WILSON
to the soldiers and sailors on the
George Washington last Friday is now
made public. From II we quote an
interesting paragraph:
America did not at first SEQ the
full meaning OF the war that has just
ended. At first It looked like a nat
ural raking out Of the pent UP jeal-
ousies and rivalries OF the compli-
Gated politics OF Europe"
There were some who did not share
the impression described by the Presi-
dent; some who believed that the
sinking Of the Lusitania, eight mont tbs
after the war began, was plain muir.
der. These persons were singled out
for criticism by President WILSON in
a speech made by him In Des Moines
on February 1, 1916, a year and q
half after the start Of the war:
There are actually men in Amer
lea who are preaching war. who are
preaching the duty OF the United
States to do what 1t never would
before, seek entanglements IN the con-
troversies which have arisen on the
other side Of the water-abandon
its habitual and traditional policy,
and deliberately engage in the con-
fiict which is now ensulfng the rest
Of the world. I do not know what
the standard OF citizenship OF these
gentlemen may be. only know that
I, for one, cannot subscribe to those
standards"
What a horror of entanglements
Mr.. WILSON seems to have had then !
Even going to war was an "entangle-
ment." But now all is changed, and
the villains of to-day are those who
object to ENHANCEMENT.

THE COAL SUPPLY.
for Increasing the Output
Of Anthracite.

To THE EDiroR OF THE SuN-Sir: There
Ii no doubt about the threatened short
age Of anthracite coal this winter unless
the public will heed the appeals OF the
Government and the coal mining COM
panies to lay In coal now. and even
then II is doubtful II tho output can
be increased sufficiently.
1t strikes me that one OF the causes
namely the shortage of labor at the
mines. might be partly overcome by re-
pealing the law now on the Pennsyl-
vania statutes that prevents a miner
from working in the mines Of that State
unless he has been resident of the
State for two years. II was passed and
signed by q weak kneed Legislature and
Governor to prevent labor from Ellis
Island from swapping the mines.
As II stands a soft coal miner from
West Virginia, no matter how good
man he may be at mining. cannot go
across the State line and get the neces-'
sary certificate to go down In the mines
from the county, mine inspector-who
Is appointed from one Of the unions
unless he has been resident for two
years.
seventy-hve men to one OF the coal
cutting machines instead Of, I think,
only twenty-eisht. One Of these ma
chimes can cut enough coal In a day to
keep seventy-flve men busy IL the seam
of coal Is good. As 1t is the union
agreement allows only twenty-eight men
and the machine is idle after IL A. NJ.
until the next day. A lot of the men come
out OF the mines at IL A. NJ. through for
tho day after making big money. I
don't object to the wage, but they
should not restrict tho output at such a
time, as there Is work enough for all
Of them.
Another help would be to allow
laborers to enter the mines and shovel
the coal into the mine cars and thus
relieve the miners OF that part Of the
work so they can devote the time to
mining more coal. AS they are paid
on a tonnage basis this could be ar
ranged easily. RAILRoApER.

Increasing the Difficulties In . Turk
ish Settlement.

While the conference at Paris is
struggling to find a solution for the
Turkish and Near East problems the
Turks themselves are apparently do
ing the most in their power to add to
the complications of the situation.
What they had expected of the mis-
sion that went to Paris is not clear /;
but they certainly could not have be-
lieyed that the terms embodied In the
Grand vizier's demands would be &C.
cepted. The mission had done its
best In foriorn cause; nevertheless
there has unquestionably been an ef-
fort to prove Its insufficiency and the
weakness of the Government.
ALI KAMEL Bey, the Minister of
the Interior, resigned a few days ago,
declaring that the Government was
too weak to decide upon a policy to
be pursued regarding the rights Of
non-Moslem races. At the same time
three different bodies of Turkish
troops were operating In Asia Minor
with the avowed purpose of recover
Ing territory which had been assigned
at the allied conference for Greek
occupation. To a remonstrance from
Paris the Government at CONSTANT
pople replied that the operations
were without Its authority and that
1t was unable to repress them.
A despatch from Paris gives the
further development of this move
ment by stating that 1t is an effort
to form a separate Turkish Govern
ment In Asia Minor At its head are
MUsTAPHA KAIiEL Pasha, who held
high command In the Turkish army

To THE EDITOR OF THE SuN--Sr: The
Poet once Departments notice OF the
establishment OF regular air mail ser
vice between New York and Chicago
brings to mind an old time railroad
triumph.
On the night Of September l6. 1878,
at the Union Station, Cleveland. Ohio,
I saw the first of the famous fast mail
trains between New York and Chicago
over the New York Central and Lake
Shore and Michigan Southern railroads
The project originated in the mind of
George S. Bangs. general superintend-
ent of the railway mail service. Tho
train left New York at 4:lo on the
morning of the day named, with thirty
three tons Of mail, Hank Mulligan fur
nishing the motive power as far as

Forest City were George Bates, Will
lam Gould and Nicholas Hartman.
The train, in charge Of Joseph Lyons.
reached Cleveland at 80 p. NJ. As
it entered the Union Station, which was
crowded with people, roar OF cheers
went UP. The train consisted Of the
engine, four postal cars and a palace
drawing room coach for invited guests,
George s. Bangs. general superintend-
ent Of the railway mail service. being
enc of the party.
The four postal cars were in pure
white with a border finish Of light buzz
and gold. They were named Governor
Tod, Governor Tilden. Governor Nor
gan and Governor Dix. and they fol-
loved the engine In that order. Each
car bore an inscription in Latin IN ad-
dltion to a legend similar to the one
