Dr.. Kes,el Offer, Fine Gift to the City

| II. AeS3el OUeIS el0e Ollt 10 Ioe ~lty
| For some time DR.. Kessel has had il
mind most magnificent gift to the cit,
in the form of soldiers memorial OF
some permanent character to be locat'
ed in the city park adjoining the hos
pltal grounds on the south. At ban
quet Wednesday evening attended by
large number of Commercial and Civ
ic club members, Dr.. Kessell made
knowa bis proposition. He offered to
erect 1T his own expense nemoeia! in
pergola design, with granite columns.
tiled floor and slate roof if the city will
pave the streets adjacent to the park.
The estimated cost of the memorial is
$40, 900 and the cost of the paving it is
estimated will not exceed 81, 200.
A resolution was introduced and car
ried enthusiastically requesting ''the
mayor and city council to do oil things
necessary to procure this memorial,
and to take immediate steps to that
end; such action to include proper res
olu tions of necessity and other steps to
provide for the paving of Second Street
West from the present paving to the
north end of the street, and for the
paving of Seventh Avenue West from
Second Street to Third Street, and that
suitable provision be made for the
parking of cars adjacent to the Park
grounds.
We do not see why there should be
any hesitation or delay on the part of
the city officials in complying with the
request which we believe has the
hearty approval of practically all our
citizens. The splendid value our south
side park has proved to our people has
demonstrated the necessity of the es'
tablishment and development of a park
system for the city, and for the small
expense it will be to the city, Cresco
cannot afford to lose for one of it's
parks patriotic tribute to our soldiers,
sailors and marines as we'll structure
(the proposed size is about 18x72 feet)
useful for many forms of outdoor
gatherings. Aside from the utilitarian
view of the project, Cresco should not
be shsmed AID placed in the role of 4
''piker" by failing to comply with the
msdsrsts request Of the public spirited
Gtissn who offers such . generous gift.
II, however, the city officials do not
see their way clear to comply with the
request Of the resolution, the CONNER
cial Club should adopt other methods to
secure for our park system the patri-
otic and practical memorial proposed
by DR.. Kessell.

PRESIDENT CABLES MESSAGE TO
CONGRESS.

WASHINGTON, May 20.-The
most striking recommendation in
President Wilson's message, read be-
fore Congress Tuesday, is that the
wartime ban on wines and beers be
lifted. is recommendation does not
extend to the stronger intoxicating
beverages. This part of his message
read as follows:
tary forces of the country has pro-
crossed to such point that it seems
to me entirely safe now to remove
the ban upon the manufacture and
sale of wines and beers, but I am
advised that without further legisla-
ton l have not the legal authority
to remove the present restrictions.
l therefore recommend that the act
approved November 27, 1918, en-
titled AN act to enable the Secretary
of Agriculture to carry out during
the fiscal year ending June 80, 1919,
the purpose of the act entitled, 'An
act to provide further for the nation
al security and defense by stimulat-
ing agriculture and facilitating the
distribution of agricultural products,
and for other purposes, be amended
or repealed insofar as it applies to
wines or beers"
The second most striking recon-
mendation is that calling for return
of the railroads, as well as the tele-
graph and telephone lines, to private
ownership and control. This is the
first authoritative declaration of
the Administration of its future pol
icy, and greatly surprised many
members who had interpreted the de-
velopments of the last few months to
mean that Mr.. Wilson eventually
would propose some form of perman-
ent Government operation. On the
contrary, the .directness of the Pres
ident's declaration on that point left
no doubt that he was through with
any possible scheme of permanent re-
tention.
"The telegraph and telephone
lines" the message reads, will, of
course, be returned to their owners
as soon as the transfer can be affect
ed without administrative confusion.
The railroads will be
handed over to their owners at the
end of the calendar year."
In the case of each the President
asked for legislation to max eeasier
the readjustment necessary because
of the change.
The foregoing features are the
"high lights" of the message, which is
unique in that it is the first in
American history ever cabled from
abroad by a President sojourning in
foreign land, and also the first
Wilson message in six years read to
Congress by reading clerk instead of
being delivered in person. In addi-
ton to the recommendations noted
the President in his message renews
his plea in behalf of woman suffrage !;
recommends that the tariff laws be
supplied with teeth to protect Amer
lean industry against foreign attack;
rges legislation to facilitate Amer
lean enterprise through the expansion
of shipping and approves Secretary
Lanes programme for land for re-
turning soldiers.

ty-one years old. of No. II Seventy
ninth street. Bay Ridge, has applied
to JustiGe Creenbaum. of the supreme
court, for separation from Fridtjof
Bryde, wealthy ship owner.
1t the time of her marriage to Mr..
Rryde on December 27 last, Mrs.
Bryde asserted she exacted from him
a pledge that he would become an
American citizen and put his vessels
under the American registry. Mrs.
Bryde alleges the ship owner acted
cruelty .oward her when she insisted
he fulfill his ante-nuptial pledge.
Counsel for the husband contended
that Mrs. Bryde could only sue In the
Norwegian courts, because she had
forfeited her American citizenship
through tn emarriage. Mrs. Bryde
asked for permission to serve notice
of the action upon her husband by
publication. Justice Greenbaum re-
served decision.

FOR PEACE; AGAINST WAR

IN n America some object to
~ the League of Nations for
fear England win domi-
nate the league. In England a
considerable faction of tories
object to the league because
England wont run it and cannot
do so under the covenant adop-
ted.
No single power will be able
to control the league. The vi
tai work of the league will be
handled by the Executive Coun-
Gil which will eventually have
nine members but at the start
will be composed of represen-
tatives from the United States,
Great Britain, France, Italy
and Japan. The Council will
deal with the subject of arma-
ments, with the taking of steps
against disobedient members
and with other big issues that
will arise affecting the peace
of the world.
1t is not true as some believe
that in the executive council
Great Britain will have more
than one vote. Britain has the
same representation there as
the other powers. In the as
sembly or meeting of delegates
representatives will be allowed |
from the self governing domin-
ions like Canada and Australia |
but these countries will have |
no voice in final decisions |
which are taken by the council. |
The league will deal solely !
with international subjects, not |
with internal questions. The
prime purpose of the league is
to prevent wars, thus saving the
colossal waste in lives and pro-
perty resulting from warfare.
1t sets up in the most satisfac-
tory manner possible machine
whereby peace may be safe
guarded. 1t may not accom-
plish everything but it need not
be objected to on that account.

a league obtain the millennium.

AMERICANIZING THE SEA

n T is remarkable that of the
thousands of men being re-
cruited for the American
merchant marine, so per cent
come from states not on the
seaboard. With the single ex-
ception of Massachusetts, none
of the seaboard States is fur
nishing as many men to the new
merchant marine as such inter-
ior states as Ohio, Indiana and
Illinois.
This proportion of go per
cent has held good throughout
the campaign, which to date
has recruited $4,000 men for
sea service since the first train
ing station was placed in opera
ton in January, 1918.
The fact that so many of the
recruits are coming from the
interior, where the percentage
of native-born population Is
highest, in large degree ac-
counts for the AmericaniZation
of the merchant marine being
SO rapidly accomplished. At
the outbreak Of the war, 70 per
cent of the men on American
merchant ships were foreign
born. In March 40 1-2 per cent
of the men recruited for sea
service were native-born Amer
leans. This percentage would
be considerably increased il
those who have been naturaliZ-
ed were included.
Another evidence of the
Americanization of the mer
chant marine is found in the
figures of the Marine Firemen''
Union membership. Prior Il
the war, less than so of the
members of this union were
American citizens; today ths
percentage is more than 80.
