for that purpose, because coal Is not
selling and coal will not sell at the

question of time--perhaps a few
weeks, perhaps a few days-until the

down these mines again and these

Several details of interest to laymen
are lacking from the official statement
concerning the performance. II but
one airplane was used for the entire
flight then the trip connotes the fact
that relays Of both fllers and planes
at the four points where Major Ma
CAULEY made stops could effect the
carriage of n considerable amount Of
letter mail from ocean to ocean In a
gross lapse of time but little in ex-
cess Of the net flying time reported
for the trip, nineteen hours. That is,
with relays of men and machines that
time would be added to only by the
few minutes 1t would take to transfer
mail from an arriving machine to an
other ready to start.
Without preliminary publicity the
army aviation service seems to have
made practical demonstration Of
transcontinental flight well within
days length; feat Of manifest i'm
portance, though not perhaps at this
time In respect to passenger or freight
movements, but mighty in its posi-
bilities for fast postal service; letter
mail carried, foV example, between
New York and San Francisco In
twenty -four hours.

KEENAN, LAND.
Explorer Stcfansson Explains What
Seemed TO BE n Discrepancy,

To THE EDITOR OF THE SUN--Sir: In
your Issue OF March IS you have an
editorial article on "Disproving Polar
Discoveries" The last paragraph Of II
is as follows:
IL dead reckoning and observations
mean anything Macmillan proved his
case. But from the latitude and lonGl-
tude reached by storksrsen at his
furthest north--reported to be ~ de-
srees north l52 degrees west--it is not
so easy to understand how he could
have seon land ten degrees distant, tho
position of Keensn's Land, as given
by Stefansson In his statement, being
somewhere In the region OF 81 degrees
north latitude and $50 degrees west
longitude" As this would place Stork-
erson not nearer than 600 miles from
Koenan's Land It would appear that
the explorers eyesight ana binoculars
must have been unusually powerful to
enable him to see that distance; or else
there was something wrong with his
calculations
In quoting me as you do you are prob
ably quoting me as quoted by your own
reporters. You may not DO as familiar
with polar explorers as am with news
paper men. but your mere familiarity
with reporters, linotypers and proof
readers should have inclined you from
the FIRST to the opinion that It Is more
likely that one of them made a mistake
Of ten degrees in my statement Of iati-
tude than that should after ten years
OF polar experience imagine that any
one could SEQ 500 miles, with or without
binoculars Of domestic or foreign manu-
facture. II you had tho time to look
It UP you would find that whereas The
SUN quotes me as saying that Keenan,
Land Is at 81 degrees north latitude,
all the other papers say ! said It was
at -, which corresponds with tho latest
circumpolar chart as published by tho
American Geographical Society.
II you revise THE SUNS figures to
correspond to those Of other newspapers
and with tho map you will see that
Storkersen's drift commenced Just about
at tho point whore Keenan, Land was
supposed to be and extended in a north
westerly direction therefrom for about
1875 miles. As he took soundings and
got moro than a mile Of water, 1t is
fairly clear that our expedition has dis
proved the existence OF Keenan, Land,
at least at tho point where II has been
charted. v. STBYANssoN.

A RAIL, NOT A FENCE.

Fine Literary Line.

To THE EDITOR OF THE SUN--Sir: After
being inspired II not exhilarated by
your editorial article, mo. Sir; Not a
Rail Fence :" I hasten TO disclaim the
alleged near sacrilege. What said was
not rail fence" but fence rail-" and
even at that was about as serious, but
no more so, than your exquisite editorial.
The various serious Charges" that are
made by the opposition worry me not
at all, but never can I rest under the
Implication from so gracious a spirit as

about a raw, new fence rail-" have
slandered fence rails" collectively

Price Fixers killing Business.

President WILSON asks Secretary
REDEIELD's Industrial Board and the
Railroad Administration to get to-
sether again on the job of fixing
steel prices at which the producers
will sell and the Director General will
buy. The Secretary of Commerce
whlmpers that If only the Director
General would pay the fixed prices
everybody else would pay them. But
IL the Department of Commerce would
lake its hands Off the law of supply
and demand, and II the President of
The United States would keep his
hands off, the question would settle
itself soon enough and properly
enough, just as 1t has settled itself
In the copper field and elsewhere.
For upward of half a year now.
since the end Of the war, the Govern
ment and the steel producers have
been trying to sell steel by fixing the
price for 1t. All that has come Of
their efforts has been a falling busi-
ness for the steel producers week
after week, with mills being closed
and wage earners cut Off the pay
rolls. Meanwhile those consumers
who would like TO use steel II they
could get it at a price which would
enable them to use II profitably are
waiting. The work they could do, If
steel were obtainable at suitable
prices, isn't done. The wage earners
they could employ, If they could re-
sumo operations, aren't employed.
Price fixing In the coal industry, re-
gardless of the utility value of coal to
consumers, has resulted In the same
thing. Coal mines have gone on half
time, coal mines have shut down. Men
have had their weekly earnings cut in
half, men have lost their Jobs. Only
Two or three days ago large body of
miners was beseeching the Lehlgh Coal
Company to reopen its mines on some
sort of basis to keep the miners and
their families In the community from

Any fond hopes Rugged in New Eng
hnd must De dlspelled by the clear
and cold news from the White House
abroad:
PARIS, April 13.--Presldent VIII
son this morning cabled Secretary
TUMULTY declining a request he had
received from New England Cover
nors to intervene in the telephone
strike in New England.
The President said he felt he could
not act intellgently at this distance"
When Mr.. WILSON went abroad
much against the wishes Of the Amer
lean people, as the New York Times
made 1t it's patriotic business to show
1t was announced in Washington that
the matter of distance would be negli-
Sible: that the President would direct
his Administration from Paris as cas-
lily as If he had remained where the
President of the United States is sup
posed to stay.
Now, for the first time, Mr.. WILSON
makes the plea Of inability. We can
not recall that any other President In
The possession of his health ever Of
fered such n plea In defense of nom
feasance. And yet the matter upon
which Mr.. WILSON was asked to act
Is one that is notorious in forty-elght
States. No person familiar with the
public service has risen to defend
BURLEsoN's abuse of the power which
he seized under cover Of the war;
Men and newspapers of his own
party have protested the outrages
committed by the Postmaster General
upon the three forms Of public COM
munication represented In the mail,
the telephone and the telegraph.
Mr. WILSON Is in France, pretend
ing to act intelllgently upon questions
as foreign to the Presidential duties
MS circus Is foreign to a prayer
meeting. Yet, by his own admission,
he cannot act intelligently upon a
scandal the painful details Of which
are known by everybody between the
Lake Of the Woods and the Rio
Grande.

Tho Lure OF Spring.

From tao Toro~to Kod o~d Empire.
when the Sun IL winkins early
In the gray dawn OF the East;
And shines all dsy in his sleepy way,
His warming rays increased;
When the muskrat haunts tho marshes
All along the silver stream.
And the blackbrds CLEO rings out "ch-
Wee"
A song like a golden dream:
IT'S then the pulse OF days Ions gone
Beats strong In every vein,
For the lure OF Spring has a captive ring
And We are young again,
when the velvet grass Is sprinkled
with the dsndelion's gold:
And the humble bees, meath the willow
trees
Are growing very bold.
When tho clubs and rsdtlns gambol
Up and down the old mill rnce
And tho butterflies and the dreamy skis.
Are smiles on Natures face:
IT'S then the memories come once more
hut Time should not complain
For tho lure OF Spring has a captive ring,
And we are young again.
