brought supper for two packed in

turned in at the receiving stands at
one end of the stadium promenade on
arrival between and $3.50 p. m. and
each girl on turning in her box had a
number check given her, correspond
ing to one attached to her box. At
$40 these boxes were auctioned on,
the men being the biders. Each man
was introduced to the girl who
brought the bog he bought. and she
was his super partner. II was great

not let chance quite "go it blind" as
she is supposed to in the matter OF

Declaration of Corfu thus became
merely a historical "reminiscences.
The situation Is unquestionably made
more difficult by the Fiume controversy
and the dispute over the Dalmntian
boundaries. But another element Of
the situation Is the part that Is being
played by the Austrians and Hunga-
rlans. Profitlng by the division
among the Slavic people was one of
their strongest cards in the past; 1t

days of the monarchy to be aban-
doned In their present extremity.

Recently Mr.. Anderson asked can
didate for the Assembly a number of
questions. Although he answered the
questions, the candidate informed Mr.
Anderson that he would represent the
people of his county, and not Mr.. An
derson, II elected also, that he resented
Mr.. Anderson's methods.
Mr.. Anderson became peeved at this
lack of awe of his majestic person and
said that the candidate and his kind
would only give lip support to the Con-
stitution." He also called the candi-
date tin soldier"
The candidate is Colonel Ransom Gil

training school. was commissioned a
Major. was wounded severely while
leading his men and is still partially
crippled and was cited for bravery. If
he is tin soldier" what is a real

Greenwich Villagers in Politics.

Greenwich Village Is not merely
the haunt Of art, flowing ties and
bobbed hair. 1t is the home Of poll
ticians. The official lists of the can
didates, which give their home ad-
dresses, prove this.
Major LA GUARDIA lives in West
Thirteenth street, Magistrate CURRAN
In West Eleventh street. All three
of the Republican candidates for JUS
tice Of the Municipal Court in the
First district live In the Village, Miss
REMBAUGH being of Grove street, Mr..
TuRLEY of West Twelfth street and
Mr.. MURRAY OF West Tenth street
OF their Tammany opponents two are
Villagers.
Tammany Hall has chosen none
except district candidates from the
Village, as Mr.. MURPHY shows a
preference for the Gramercy Square
Stuyvesant Square and Gasbouse
regions In his making of the slate.
The Socialists found a few cnndi
dates In the Village. JOHN SLOAN
who lives at SS Washington place
drops the canvas for the canvass and
wants to be a Municipal Court Jus
tice. His wife, ANNA NJ. SLOAN, is
running for Alderman.
The Prohibition party has district
nominees In the Village, but its can
didates for the higher offices live vi
town. Incidentally, why does the
Prohibition party nominate dozer
candidates for the Board of Alder
men? Does 1t fear that non-Pro
hibition board may overthrow the
Dry Amendment?

members land was not able to lay
down or approve definite pro
grammc" for the guidance of all con-
cerned 30 that munitions would keep
pace with man power. Congress and
the nation did not understand the
complexity Of the problem and money
for munitions had not been provided
in time Of peace to prepare us for
defence in war.
To remedy this situation Colonel
BURNS advocates a scheme of organi-
zation under which the users of
weapons and ammunition should make
their needs known to the Ordnance
Department, which should be charged
with responsibility for production of
designs and stocks, knowledge of the
capacity of Government and COM
mercial plants and the ease with
which raw materials could be OBJ
tanned being essential factors in its
duties An Ordnance Committee
made up Of representatives Of the
various arms of the service should
be constantly at work on the prob
lens. The General Staff should
keen up to date the ordnance pro-
gramme, checked against the military
programme In its entirety, and Con-
gress should be educated to under
standing of the paramount importance
of munitions.
We fought the war against Ger
many with munitions purchased from
the Allies" In Colonel BURNs's phrase.
In another war we may not be able
to purchase munitions Even though
we think we may always be able to buy
what we shall require in an emergency
we are not absolved from preparing
our own defences, and the scheme out
lined by Colonel BURNS appeals tc
good sense and is supported by the
experience Of men and governments
in other great enterprises.

To.morrow's Opportunities.

To-day brings to an end local
political campaign which in general
has been interesting less on account
of the personnel of the candidates
than on account Of the things for
which they stand.
Tomorrow the men and women OF
the First judicial district will de-
eide whether they want as Justices Of
the Supreme Court Major MoCooK,
an eminent lawyer, and JOSEPH E.
NEwBURGEB, Judge Of long expert
ence, OF ROBERT L. LUCE and IRWIN
UNTERMYER, the second Of whom was
nominated by the boss Of Tammany
Hall with such disregard for judicial
tradition and the wishes Of his own
party that MURPHY went to the ex-
tent of treating Justice NEwBuRGER
as CROKER treated Judge DAILY. The
voters who must pass on this case
will be in the polling booth only a
minute, but the Judges they choose
will be elected for fourteen years.
Another judicial post in the filing
of which the voters must decide be-
tween Mr.. MURPHY's pleasure and the
precedent Of renOminating just judges
is the City Court. The Tammany
leader refused to put Justice RICHARD
H. SAIrH-like Justice NEwBURsER-
Democrat-on the ticket. but the
elector will find Smiths name beside
the Republican eagle emblem, with
his well qualified fellow candidates,
DAVIS and CHoBosH. Republicans.
There is still another Judgeship
which should be denied to Fourteenth
Street. The Tammany nominee for
Surrogate, while his professional quail
hcations for the ONCE have not been
gainsaid, is in and of Tammany and
is the personal choice Of the Halls
boss for this important, rich and en-
during place. The successor to the
learned RoBEKr LUDLOW FOWLER
ought to be JAMES O'MSILEr. whose
experience and temperament fit him
for the office and who is free from
association with u selfish political
machine.
1t Is possible for the voters to
remedy at the polls tomorrow the
miserable conditions which now exist
in that body which is styled the
Board of Estimate but which has
taken ON the habits Of a menagerie.
The election Of LA GUARDIA as Presi-
dent of the Board Of Aldermen and of
CURRAN as President Of the Borough
of Manhattan would do a good deal to
bring order and dignity to that which
is now only band Of Tammany or
near Tammany officials, quarrelling
over their party troubles while econ
omy and system are neglected.

LIMIT OF ENDURANCE.
/ Four Year.Old Child's Severe Test
In a Far North Winter.
From the San Frunotsco Chronioie.

Fleeing before an epidemic an In
dian family in the Peace River country
in the Canadian Northwest overlooked
and left behind one of its numerous
children. 1t was autumn. and when
the loss was discovered the parents were
SO far away they assumed that the
wolves already had the child and did not
even go back TO look
The lost child was an infant OF 4 years.
boy, clad only in a ragged cotton shirt
and drawers. But such was his will to
1--we, his initiative, his endurance, that
he went through the sub-arctic winter
and was fat and hearty when his parents
came back next summer. Through the
long months the only human help he
received was when passing Indian
gave him piece of an old blanket The
child picked up scraps of food and birch
twigs, fought with Indian dogs for frag-
ments of fish and slept throughout the
winter in shelters OF his own contr1ving.
How or where he obtained all the
food necessary to keep him in good con-
dition no one knows. What windtalls
he may have had he was too young to
tell. All that is known is that he fed
somehow and that no one helped him.
He helped himself. though only years

No More Class Favoritism!

To THE EDITOR OF THE SUS-Sr: There
are many like yourself who recall the
popular criticism of a man prominently
connected with railroads who in a mo-
ment of cynicism was asserted to have
explained his attitude toward the pub
lies relation TO his line of work by the
expression The public be damned ="
Clearly in rule and practice trade unions
have adopted this as their slogan.
Much is said OF the patriotism of labor
through the period OF the war. Surely
in a great measure it was a patriotism
well paid for-fsr exceeding the misery
pittance awarded those who made the
great sacrifice by perilous service at the
front followed in so many instances by
burial in foreign land or return home
crippled and unab Bile to earn a livelihood.
Is il not about time those high In gov
eminent ceased the codding OF limited
class which arrogantly assumes It alone
represents labor?
The great multitude which the unions
are anxious to embrace in their organ
lzations could not endure the stultifying
influences OF unionism-the atrophy OF
individualism which unionism surely
produces c. G. C.

The Department of Agriculture, hav-
ing special concern in the consumption
Of sugar and all soft beverages in
which sugar is an ingredient, has prop
erly undertaken to decide for kickless
generation which has very little sugar
how beverages containing less than
one-half OF per cent. OF alcohol can
be sweetened without the use OF cane
sugar. Somehow the report 1t has
made is not thirst provocative, al
though in other respects highly inter
esting. There are essays on corn
syrup, commercial glucose, reflners'
syrup, maltese syrup, corn sugar,
honey, saccharin and other products
with which experiments have been
made. All hopeless. The learned
chemists fiud fatty that none of
these products can be used to replace
all Of the cane sugar; and "the
keeping qualities Of the products
when made up is not so high as
that OF ordinary syrup" and each OF
these proposed sweetening ingredients
possesses a characteristic flavor which
may affect the palatability of the bev-
erage." Dour chaps. those chemists.
It is plainly to be seen that after all
the analyses and experiments and tests
and everything the whole proposition
comes down to the question Whats
the matter with water?"

STRIKES AND THE PUBLIC.
Fruits Of the Surrender to the Rail
way Men Three Years Ago.

To THE EDITOR OF THE SUN--Str: How
long is this suffering country to be kept
in constantly recurring states OF appre-
hension and turmoil from strikes and
riots? There is a cause and cure. q.
The cause is plainly that our cowardly
politicians have formed a habit of be-
traying the interests of the public when
threatened by the labor leaders, as for
instance in the shameless surrender to
the railway mems holdup. three years
ago. What we are now enduring is the
natural effect of the cause
The power drunken labor leaders have
now set out to control the entire coun-
try. But such is their effrontery and
brutal Disregard of Justice that there
are signs that even the politicians are
beginning TO awaken to the fact that
somethins in opposition must be done.
The cure will come when the Govern
ment IL at last driven to stand for the
simple truth that these so-called labor
men-the agitators who labor only with
their Jaws and who are solely respon-
sible for strikes, idleness and rioting-
are to be denounced as the conspirators
and public enemies that they are and
sent to jail. II necessary to effect this
let martial law be declared.
One thing Is becoming palmer every
day. This Is that it is the trade unions
against all the rest OF us. Let the cure
be applied. and the sooner the better!

One Emergency In Which the Con-
sumers Have an Organization.

Representative CHAMP CLARK ut
tered a familiar half truth in his
speech on the coal miners strike:
The capitalists are organized, the
laboring men are organized, but the
consumers are not organized"
So far as the coal strike Is con-
cerned the consumers find their organ
ization performing Its functions. This
organization is the Government. When
the executive, the legislative and the
judicial branches all do their duty
there IS no need to worry about the
comparatively small organizations OF
capital and labor.
Sometimes statesmen like Mr..
CLARK forget that the Government
takes its orders from a union-a Union
with membership of more than a
hundred million.

JUDGE LUCE DEFENDED.
An Attack on Him by the Newburger
Committee Resented.

To THE EDITOR OF The SuN--Sir: With
keen regret read in Thursdays papers
paid advertisement by Justice New
burgers committee making bitter at
tack on Justice Robert l.. Luce.
What does this mean? Governor
Smith appointed Justice Luce to fill
the vacancy caused by the resignation
of ex-Justice Shearn, and the Demo
cratic party nominated him to succeed
himself. The Republican party noml-
mated Major McCook.
Many months later the Democratic
executive committee decided to nomi-
nate Mr.. Unternyer for n different va
cancy, that caused by the expiration
Of the term of Justice Newburger, and
the Republican party nominated Justice
Newburger to succeed himself. The
issue between Justice Newburger and
Mr.. Untermyer therefore is clearly de-
fined.
why, then, does Newburger's com
mittee attack Luce?
Where do we stand who were think
ing OF voting for Luce and Newburger?
As a lawyer l earnestly hope to see
Justice Luce elected He is better
lawyer than Newburger. McCook or
Untermyer He has made a better Judge
than Newburger. He was nm active
lawyer and ne has proved himself to
be a painstaking and courteous Judge,
fully conversant with the fundamental
principles of law.
Frankly, expected to vote for JUS
tice Luce and Justice Newburger, and
may do so yet.
But why, at the eleventh hour Of the
campaign, does Newburger's committee
attack Luce?
OF course l shall vote for Luce. but
shall my vote for the second vacancy
be for Newburger. who has forsaken
his attack on his opponent, Untermyer
in order to attack Luce?
Or for Untermyer, the beneficiary OF
the attack?
Or for Major McCook. an organiza-
ton Republican?
Republicans have an easy answer
They can easily vote for Luce and Nc
Cook. Should Democrats in my posi-
ton vote in the same way2

sooner editors quit printing the phrase
fight between labor and capital" the

talist pays and always has paid every

Not only does the public pay in actual
cash after the increase is given. but II
pays in suffering, mental and physical.

ployer is figuring how much he must
