some of the useful labor reconstructed
individuals excel in. A new England
would see the folly Of encouraging
mendicancy; It would count the cost
Of that recess, the folding doors, the
lock. and write reports about the

treat the beggar as Bishop DUNN has
treated him.
Undoubtedly this ward Of morgan

come seized of a property right in

VETERANS SEEK H0MESTEADS
Civil and spanish-American War
Ask Privileges.

WASHINGTON, June S,-Veterans of
the civil and Spanish American wars
asked to-day that they be included in
Secretary Lanes project for farms for
soldiers and sailors. When the subject
was broached Informally last week, Sec
rotary Lane told the House Public Lands
Committee, conducting the hearing, that
to take in veterans OF other wars would
invite opposition.
There is no estimate OF the number Of
civil war veterans who might seek
farms, but Daniel b. Chisholm, repre-
senting the Spanish war veterans, es-
timated that about 20 per cent of the
100000 members might apply for home-
stead privileges. Members OF tho COM

Penalties That Go with the Re.
movaI OF the Waistcoat,

This is mans moultihg season, and
his feathers are his waistcoat. The
male biped does not shed this gar
ment because he dislikes 1t of itself.
1t Is a useful thing, handler than a
pocket in a shirt. He takes 1t OF
because OF the heat, and not without
regret. The waistcoat holds so many
things. The upper left hand pocket
was made for pencils and fountain
pens and cigars. Since the top of the
ear was discarded as a pencil holder
there has been nothing half so good
as that pocket. The opposite upper
pocket is Just the place for the memo
randa book. The watch sleeps alone
in one Of the lower pockets, across
from the home Of the mans knife or
matchbox. The inside pocket Of the
waistcoat Is peculiarly adapted to
carrying money. A thief cannot get
1t without cutting.
When the waistcoat Is hung up for
the summer Its working contents
must be put elsewhere The coat,
already overloaded with handker-
| chiefs. wallets, letters, cigarette cases
and Communication tickets, is asked
to take up what the turf reporters
call n staggering impost. The trou-
sers, with their standard burden Of
money and keys, can make little room
for the articles evicted from the
waistcoat. SO every June the man
wonders whether he shall tether his
watch to the lapel Of his coat and
let 1t joggle around in his breast
pocket or whether he'll try 1t once
more in the waistband pocket OF his
trousers and look upon its face only
after an exhibition OF gymnastics.
Shall the fountain pen be attached to
the coat pocket or laid away until
autumn?
Man suffers for a while. He finds
himself without matches when he has
cigar or without a pen when he has
check blank. His watch spells the
At of his coat. His memoranda book
gets lost IN the bottom OF his coat
pocket He Is all at sea, and merely
because he Is not the efficient crea-
ture that woman Is. She puts all her
Junk and all her worries In the faith
full handbag. Fashions change in
clothing and in bags but the mess Of
small belongings is always carried in
the same way. II man would ape
woman in this respect he would be
more comfortable. He need not carry
a silken reticule; a canvas sack
would do, with a strap to 60 over the
shoulder Perhaps some Of the fel-
lows who carry brief cases are Sc
cretly taking a leaf from woman's
book. AL SMITH once said that II
you held up a reformer and looked
in his brief case you would find sand
witches in II, not great public docu-
ments. A brief case would hold cigars,
pencils and handkerchiefs. Maybe in
time all men will carry these leather
cases just as all women carry bags

According TO a despatch from Paris
Norway has refused to Join in block
ade OF Germany IN case the German
delegates at Versailles refuse to sign
the peace treaty. In this Norway fol-
lows tho course which the Swiss Fed
eral Council announced a few days ago
that Switzerland would take under the
same circumstances.
In the case of Norway this action is.
perhaps, moro unexpected, for OF all
neutrals she was the heaviest loser by
German submarines and the most Wig
orous protestant against German treat
ment. Norway declared last NoNem-
Der that the German U-boats had
taken the lives OF 1.170 Norwegians
and had sunk s31 Norwegian vessels
Norway's memory seems very short. II
may be necessary to impress upon her
that the memory Of the rest of the
world Is longer and that the war is
not over until the treaty Is signed by
the German peace delegates.

To THE EDITOR OF THE SuN-Sir: The
spectacle OF a President Of the United

can soldiers in a cemetery in France
and praising them for what they did
Is indeed impressive. The address on
Memorial Day will be accepted in Eu-
rope as voicing the sentiment OF the

American citizen, therefore. to scan Mr..
Wilson's remarks in order to ind out

Big Surplus Likely.

The present stocks and crop condi-

would indicate that there should be in
the coming harvest year an export sur
plus of wheat and rye OF from $40. 000.-
900 bushels to 900, 900, 900 bushels, but
Of this other countries than Europe re-
quire about 1OO. 100000 bushels. leaving
the supply Of from 770,000.o00 bushels
to 500, 00O, 600 availa BILE for Europe.
The consumption in the United States
has increased to an extraordinary de-
gree in the year. From the 1918 crop Of
wheat and rye we will export about 270,-
900. 900 bushels and, as the 1919 crop
promises at least 200. 000.O 900 bushels
larger than 1913, II seems that we can
export at the present rate OF consump-
ton about 100000 bushels. The
minimum export surplus from Canada,
Argentina, Australia and minor coun-
tries may be estimated at 400. 900, 900

considered out OF the export list next
