INTERNATIONAL SWAPPING
A Plan for n Western Hemisphere
Without European Ties.

To THE EDITOR OF THE SUN-Sir. 1,
has been suggested by certain well
meaning gentlemen that America can
Gel the debts that Europe owes her
Could not this be arranged by having
them in return renounce their sover-
eighty over American territory
Let England give US Canada. the Ba.
hamas, &C, provided the people of those
places desire 10 become part of us. II
not, let them have their complete inde-
pendence. At the same time we should
give up all of the lands that We hold not
on the American continent
Then for the first time in history we
could have an America for Americans
united, strong and free from the pit
falls OF Old World diplomacy and poll
tics.
Let us run our own continent free
from any outside interference or con-
troll Let us keep our hands of the
other fellows continents. Surely this
would be the strongest guarantee OF
peace that We could possibly arrange,
to have a big. strong. healthy American
continent over here minding its own
business and able TO mako others mind
theirs
While making the world safe for de-
mocracy let us make America safe for
Americans for all time. JOHN EwAIp.

BAD NRAILRoAD SERVICE.
Ono Mans Experience In Trying Il
Reserve Accommodations.

To THE EDITOR OF THE SuN--Sir: Re-
Gently my representative called at the
Railroad Administration once at 60
Broadway. engaging passage and re-
ouesting sleeper reservation from New
York to Ridgway, Pa, on the $3.50 p.
M. train, the only daily express train.
He was informed that n sleeping car
berth would have to be obtained at
Philadelphia and was promised that
reservation would Immediately be tele-
graphed to Philadelphia.
The following day no again called,
purchased an excursion ticket from
New York to Ridsway and offered to
pay t2.16 for the sleeper from Phila-
delphia to Ridgway. This the New York
Office declined. stating that they had
advised that purchase my sleeper when
got to Philadelphia en- route. As q
matter OF fact when applied at the
window in the Broad Street Station of
the Pennsylvania Railroad In Philadel-
phia 1 was notified that no reservation
had been made. BY telephone to New
York reply came back that no record
could be found that reservation had been
sent to Philadelphia In my name.
As had an engagement at Ridgway
to attend an important conference at
which two other persons, one from Buff
falo and one from Cleveland, were also
to be present, tha Inconvenience, to speak
mildly. OF the failure Of the Railroad
Administration employees to make good
the agreement with me to hold the res
ervation for a sleeper berth goes with
out saying.
One Saturday I had occasion to mako
trip to visit friends at Poughkeepsie
Az got of the afternoon train pur-
chased a return ticket from Pough-
keepsie to New York and endeavored
to buy a parlor car reservation on the
e:54 p. NJ. train from Poughkeepsie
leaving Sunday. NY money was taken
and receipt given. the ticket agent ad-
ervation to Albany. On my presentation
Of this receipt to- the ticket agent imme-
diately prior to the arrival Of tho New
York train at Poughkeepsis Sunday
afternoon / was informed that no reply
Lad been received by the agent at
Porghkeepsie from Albany. although
more than twenty-four hours had passed
since his telegram was despatched max
ing the reservation. He therefore re-
funded to mo my money. writing on q
slip, stamped with tho stamp OF the
Poushkeepsie ONCE, that q seat was to
be given to me by the Pullman conductor
II reservation had been made.
When the train came in reached the
Pullman conductor just after he had
sold to two men in the crowd the two
remaining psrlor car chairs and to
others all space in the smoker, and after
scme trouble Z secured seating accom-
mediation in an extreme rear seat, which
Is shorter than the ordinary seat, in one
Of the day coaches. this short seat be-
ing occupied with me by another per-
son. Suffice IL to say that the Pullman
conductor advised me that he had no
memorandum OF reservation for = parlor
car seat from Poughkeepsie to New
York.

Two More Airmcn Win Immortal
Fame.

In one straight fight the Atlantic
has been crossed. What Hawker tried
and failed gloriously to do has been
done.
Alcock and Brown had no instruc-
tions, no ships on the sea to guide
them-nothing except the coast of
ireland for which to steer.
Their feat is the greatest sporting
event the world has ever known.
Had ALcocK and BRowN lacked
courage they would not have started
on their flight; had they been deficient
in natural aptitude for flying or in
acquired skill In the management of
their plane they could not have CON-
pleted 1t. To do what they have done
men must be physically, morally and
mentally 1T for the task. Man failure
In the pilot or navigator would mean
disaster, just as engine failure would
mean disaster. Their success splen-
didly vindicates not only their daring
but also their Judgment ana their
attainments in the new and intricate
science Of air navigation.
Yet their Skill as airmen, their
bravery, their powers of endurance
could not have been displayed as they
have been had 1t not been for the
studies and labors Of the men who
invented and developed the machine
in which they few. In drafting rooms,
laboratories, shops and on aviation
fields hundreds and thousands of men
have been busy Tor years preparing for

When flying to Europe has become a
routine incident Of everyday life. as II
soon will be. the names Of ALcocK and
BRowN will CLEAN bright in the rec
ords Of mans progress in mastering
the elements. They share splendidly
with laurels won under adverse condi-
tons in the latest triumph Of human
genius and perseverance. and their
fame will rest on the same firm

Governor SMITH called the special
session OF the Legislature, which meets
tonight, to pass on the proposed
woman suffrage amendment to the
Constitution Of the United States. The
power Of the Legislature under such
circumstances is strictly limited. The
Constitution OF the State of New York
provides:
He 1.-THE Governor] shall have
power to convene the Legislature. or
the Senate only. on extraordinary
occasions.
AT extraordinary sessions no sub
sect shall be acted upon except such
as the Governor may recommend for
considera ton"
Naturally the Governor has been
urged to recommend for the consldera-
ton Of the Legislature in eStraor-
binary session, besides the suffrage
amendment. a number of subjects,
chief among which is the housing
problem in New York city and In
other parts of the State. Governor
SMTH's attitude on this is that II
concrete proposal Is made he will
study the advisability of recommend
ing Its consideration by the Legisla-
ture, but otherwise he will not act in
the premises This Is a sensible post
ton. A general debate in the Legis-
lature on the housing difficulties and
a law enacted merely to satisfy the
cry that something should be done
about them" could not accomplish much
good. The problems Of finance, taxa
ton and property rights involved are
too intricate to be solved ofYhand.
The plain fact is that the shortage
Of acceptable dwelling places IS
direct and an inevitable result Of the
formal and informal restrictions put
on building operations by the war.
Until the effect produced by them is
overcome the trouble will continue.
The solution of the difficulty is to get
the country back to normal again so
that builders will be able to meet the
requirements of the public, and the
New York Legislature alone cannot

Policemen Are Entitled to the Laws
Protection.

A City Magistrate recently made the
commendable resolve to do all that
lies within his judicial power to dis
courage the growing practice Of GRIM
inals who in resisting arrest or at
tempting escape shoot police officers.
1t might be of value to law abiding
citizens to read all the records which
prompted this excellent, If delayed,
purpose, but enough knowledge is sup
piled, perhaps, by the newspaper re-
ports of recent gunmen's activities TO
impress upon the popular mind an
opinion which will give assurance To
any Magistrate that he will have sub
stantial backing in action designed
effectively to teach criminals a better
understanding Of the position a police
officer occupies in relation to the
whole community, what his sworn
duties are in respect to the laws made
not only to protect the lives and prop
erty of citizens but to insure as far
as possible their immunity from the
annoyance Of rowdyism, insult, moles-
tation by language or act.
The personnel Of the police Of New
York is admirable; better, perhaps,
than ever before; Its members, largely,
are athletic, well drilled, intelligent
men, who perform their arduous and
many times dangerous duties In a
manner emitting them to the respect
Of all good citizens, to a backing Of
public opinion which should be made
manifest. for 1t would aid every
effort of the courts to convince Grim
inals that to shoot a police officer is
not minor offence.
Nothing written here should sug-
gest that any New York policeman
has complained Of the dangers of his
calling. Inspector ALEXANDER 5.
WILLIAMS used to tell story to prove
that in his times there We're members
of the force who sought duty in parts
Of the city where there was the great
est likelihood of rough work. Un-
doubtedly there are such men on the
force to-day.
1t was when Mr.. WILLIAMS was cap
tain in the old Tenderloin precinct that
one Of the best patrolmen in his COM
mand, whose post was along the then
brightest stretch of Broadway, asked
for transfer to post nearer the
North River front. The captain COM
mented that the applicant had fine

YES" was the response, cts fine
for those who like it. But there's no
excitement there. The most I get is
when rah-rah boy, on bet with a

my jaw. But, Cap, you'll admit that's
more amusing than exciting. I'd like

work now and then. 1t makes the

Scarcely had work on the Federal
building at Broadway and Park row
been completed a generation and a
half ago before demands for its demo-
lltion were heard. The city had con-
veyed, under restrictions, the site on
which 1t stands to the Federal Gov
crnment, and ABRAM b. MULLET, Su-
pervlslng Architect of the Treasury
Department, designed 1t. Nobody has
ever attempted to defend the building
as an artistic or practical success.
1t is ugly TO look at, inconvenient for
Its occupants, and i'll arranged for
the public. The agitation for the re-
moval OF the structure and the res
toration of the land 1t occupies to
City Hall Park has never been al
lowed to die; the day of its disap-
pearance was brought nearer when
the new General Post Office was
opened opposite the Pennsylvania sta

looking toward the demolition of the

toward the accomplishment of this
highly desirable end would have been
made before had the war not diverted

with the city the Federal Government
must sell the site OF the old post
office to the municipality If it is aban.

is now used. The price must be $780,.

narcotic drugs, says the committee,
estimated to be equal to the legiti-
mate traffic" Consequently, IL the
committees conjectures are correct,
there Is per capita consumption of
opium in the United States Of ~
grains day and the annual H.
licit consumption Of cocaine Is 262,-
500 ounces, allowance being made for
the 1880 ounces Of this drug legiti-
mately consumed.
The committee asked 3,023 health
officers and 1893 chiefs Of police HAS
drug addiction increased or decreased
in the last few years?" Out Of e82
officials who answered this inquiry
forty-eight reported increases and 914
decreases. But:
'Tn virtually every instance the
increases were In the largest cities,
and in particular in those cities where
moro than the usual attention Is be-
ing directed TO the eradication Of
drug addiction"
In towns where more than the
usual attention is being directed to
the eradication Of drug addiction
the authorities should and presum-
ably do have more nearly accurate
knowledge Of facts Of drug addiction
than is possessed by the officials of
communities In which no Intensive
study Of the subject is made. Cred
ible deductions cannot be drawn from
such answers as the committee re-
celved to this query.
Consumption of narcotics Is de-
clared to have risen from one pound q
year for about BIT Americans in 1900
1869 to one pound a year for about
POS In 1910-191S. But we do not know
what proportion Of narcotics was con-
sumed In the eos In the manner
now described as illicit, while We
do know that there has been a great
increase in the use Of narcotics in
medicine. surgery and dentistry since
the civil war.
1t is Of the utmost Importance that
the facts concerning the use ofInar-
cotic drugs should be made available,
because with the enforcement Of pro-
-hibition the traffic Is likely to require
stricter regulation than has hitherto
been imposed on II.
