Teach All To Swim.
FITS been the Y. M. G. A. slogan for
years to teach everybody how to
SWIM" Mr.. Brugman, the boys work
secretary said, "and swimming has be-
come more interesting for boys In the
last few years on account of the
graded work." he added, and then
he continued to explain this point.
when the boys are first taught to
stay up in the water they are be-
ginners After they have mastered the
first principles and can swim little,
they are dubbed swimmers. From this
stage of the game they are promoted
to leaders, fulfilling certain require
ments. The last round Of the aquatic
ladder is attined when the boys be-
come life-savers Tests are given
each time before the candidates re-
ceive a higher degree to determine
whether or not they are ready for the
harder stunts International awards
are given to the boy for passing these
tests and this is an incentive worth
working for" Mr.. Brugman said.
In The Old Times.
For years the biggest incentive
boy had was to be able to swim the
canal The dump, as the canal wall
was called used to be lined in the sum-
mer time with half naked boys hopping
off in more or less perilously deep
water. Some how, the god OF luck who
watches over the small boy. kept the
annual drownings down to mini
mum, but still the canal and the river
on the other side, claimed their share
of the victims each season.
About this time, however, swimming
schools began to be started down on
the old canal. Prof. Scheuler had a
class which used to dress at his home
on the avenue, and wrap in bathrobes
and blankets for the sprint down the
hill and across the railroad. tracks.
This class was a pioneer in swimming
instruction.
Prof. Hayden's Glasses.
Then came the summer classes for
both boys and girls which Prof. P. c.
Hayden organized. A big diving float
was anchored out in the canal little
below the old electric light plant. A
boat house and a tent provided plenty

Censors Without Hurnor

1t has just been discovered that CEN
sorship powers are being exercised by
the Collector Of the Port of New York,
MIR. Byron R. Newton. And his con-
ception of the exceeding seriousness of
his occupation makes one wonder why
censors are not required to pass a civil
service examination which will attest
the possession of something more than
rudimentary sense of humor.
Mr.. Newton censors notions imported
into this country in the shape of printed
merchandise. He permits the trans
plantation of no deleterious alien ideas.
But he longs for broader realm in
which to WELD the black stencil and the
blue pencil. We take it from an inter
view which he gave The Tribune that
he regrets that he didn't have the power
to suppress some criticisms recently
made in The Nation ON the peace con-
ference.
We, too, dislike The Nations ideas and
phrases. But it is not for the Collector
of the Port of New York to be excited
about them officially. Public opinion will
adequately attend to many of the things
Mr.. Newton would suppress by edict.

Motors and Nautilus

In the United States there is one auto
mobile to every eighteen persons. In
Canada there is one for every %; in
Australia, one for every 100; in Eng
land, one for every 268; in France, one
in 4O2; in Italy, one in 1902; Mexico,
one in 1885, and in China, one in 1907
Here are such figures as Nautilus
might have seized upon. The automobile
is an emblem and barometer of wealth.
1t is most ubiquitous in the newly settled
regions Of the earth and rarest where
civilization is Oldest But the phe-
nomenon cannot be wholly explained on
the theory Of Nautilus. Chinese may
shy from automobiles because of Chinese
conservatism. The lands where auto
mobiles are thickest-America Canada,
Australia-are lands populated by colo
nlsts, and colonists are people who have
initiative, otherwise they would not leave
their homes and countries to colonize.
They have energy and ambition, be-
tokened by the same act Their de-
scendants inherit their qualities. And
they are not distinguished for thrift.
Thrift is the outstanding characteristic
of those people who struggle to keep
their expenditures within their incomes.
The Americans struggle is to bring his
income up to his expenditures

St. Joseph on Guard

The story of an ingenious method Of COW
ering desertion adopted by two German
soldiers was told me the other day (writes

church tower which was used as an obser-
vatlon post, and had to remain there for
twenty-four hours. During the night they
descended into the church and took from n

a necessary police force in that region.
1t also agreed to indemnify Serbian
families wishing to emigrate from the
Banat. The whole arrangement was
clear and explicit.
Rumania entered the war at an un-
fortunate time for herself. She depend
ed on promises Of military support from
the Allies which were not made good.
Sarrail's offensive from Salonica was
fizzle. Russia fulfilled her military agree
ments. But Russia's help alone was not
sufficient. The western half of the king
dom was overrun by Mackensen and
Falkenhayn, and when Russia drew out
Of the war Rumana was compelled to
make an ignominious peace with Ger

Rumania deserves liberal treatment at

ls not yet known. But under the treaty
Of August II, 1916, between Rumania,
on the one hand, and France, Great
Britain, Italy and Russia, on the other,
Rumanla was to receive all of what is
generally known as the Banat-that is
to say, the district lying east of the
Thesis River and north of the Danube.
This arrangement promises Rumania
possession of territory paralleling the
Serbian border from the mouth of the
Thesis to the Iron Gates. Serbia aspired
to annex at least the western half of the
Banat, which has n considerable Serbian
population. But when the Rumanian
treaty was concluded Serbia was in the
hands Of the enemy. Her government
was in exile and her interests were SUBJ
ordinated to securing the adhesion Of
new ally on the Eastern front.
The text Of the treaty, published on
February 3 last in Paris, sustains Ru-
mania's claim to the entire Banat. The
frontier Of Greater Rumania was def

Uncle Sam, turning speculator, took

loaded with offerings when he redeems
his contracts. What will he then do?
Like other forestallers, will he try to
make good ON his corner? Will he ware

pocket his losses and let the grain out at
natural prices?
But there is no fixed price for cereals

somewhere is an express or tacit prof

not a farm in Iowa sell for $500 an acre?
What we are suffering from is the

Many artificial restraints and premiums
