A CLUB FOR CRIPPLES.
It Has Seventy Members and They
Study and Play.

To THE EDITOR OF THE SuE--Sir: 1t
is gratifying to notice a change in the
attitude of the public toward the cripple.
The man who happens to have an arm
or a leg missing Ia no longer generally
regarded as helpless. doomed to waste
his life as a beggar or as an inmate OF n
charitable institution. OF course the
crippled mend!cant still plies his trade
and cannot be persuaded to forsake the
tin cup for the work bench as long as
the unthinking passerby continues to
toss coins at him. Fortunately. not all
cripples are made to suffer because OF
the few who degrade themselves by beg
gins.
The crippled beggar will some day be
banished by cripples' union or some
other organization OF the disabled. The
tendency OF cripples to unite for "a
square deal" is in evidence. An example
OF a successful organization of cripples
IL the Red Cross Institute Club, recently
formed to show physically handicapped
men the way out" and to teach them
how to make the most Of their remain
ing abilities.
1t is an inspiring sight to see these Rcd
Cross boys at their baseball or basket
ball practice on the athletic field adJoin-
ing the training school for cripples at
Twenty third street and Fourth avenue.
The one armed fellows, tho one legged
men, some getting about on artificial
limbs others on crutches, n few hob
bling about as a result Of paralysis, some
with a few fingers missing-all OF them
forget their disabilities when they get
into the game.
The club has seventy members all

thing, Tho cripple who is discouraged

tell his troubles to those who can offer
him constructive assistance is invited to

Mr.. Wilson Returns.

The Hon. WOODROW WILSON arrives
to-day in the United States after an
absence which, with the exception OF
his brief visit between February "a
and March 3, has lasted since De-
cember 4, 1918: seven months and
four days.
All Americans will hope that Mr..
WILSON. returning at least tempo
rarily to duties TO which he was
chosen by people accustomed to
seeing their President at the tradi-
tional and official post of the Chief
Magistrate, finds himself in good
health.
II Mr.. WILSON should have a recip-
rocal interest in the well being of the
people of the United States we can
assure him that physically, mentally
end spiritually it Is bully. Not even
the indifference displayed by Mr..
WILSON toward this country, with
which he ultimately confessed he was
unable to keep in touch, has made
the country Indifferent toward his re-
mrkablc adventure. Perhaps II has
not kept in touch with him, but 1t has
observed him at n clarifying distance
and it has kept in touch with itself.
1t would be unfair to expect Mr..
WILSON to discover at once, in a day
or week, with eyes that have been
focused on matters almost entirely
foreign, the true attitude of America
toward himself and the curious poll
cies he has advocated, the humiliat-
ing surrender Of American sovereignty
he has supported. in his attempt to
carry out the ambition that is repre-
sented in his covenant. 1t will take
time for him TO learn the real state
OF public opinion in a land from
which he has been absent so long.
Meanwhile if he has brought back

Is Lloyd Georges Supposed Victory
Unwelcome in England?

The dispatches from England seem
to indicate that Mr.. LLOYD GEORGE,
whose triumphant announcement that
the former German Emperor was to
be tried in London was made only n
few days ago, Is now regarded In
much the same way as a cat that has
loyalty brought into the house some
thing which, on close inspection,
proves to be quite unwelcome.
The British Premier Is given to
promises, and It must be said that
he tries to keep large number Of
them. Before the last general cleo
tion In England he promised that
HoHENzoLLERN should be brought to
trial. This was decreed at Versailles,
and the British Prime Minister fol-
lowed up the decision by announcing
that London would be the place for
the court. 1t appeared for the mo-
ment as II Mr.. LLOYD GEORGE was re-
deeming q promise with interest; but
do his own people care for what he
has thrown in extra?
English opposition to the trial Of
Count HoHENzoLLERN in London Is
based on several grounds. The cold
opinion of some men Of the law Is
that his trial there would at least
not appear to be fair. The sentiment
talists have an idea that it would be
repellent to the British people to have
n grandson Of Queen VICTORIA tried
in England and perhaps executed In
the Tower. The Bishop Of Exeter
represents third class Of dissenters
from the Premier when he expresses
regret lest "a character held in the
greatest contempt should be dignified
and martyrized by an international
trial" The Bishop would leave the
former Kaiser to "a life of shame"
Passing over the guilt or innocence
of the exiled monarch, most persons
will agree that giving the centre Of
the stage to him would be undesir-
able. None would wish more to see
the former Kaiser in a Napoleonic
role than his own Prussian Junkers.
The creation for him of false SYM
patty among the Germans who now
are heartily glad to be rid Of him and
his crew would be bad result.
Neither he nor his memory should be
rehabilitated and although justice
ought to be done, it should be accom-
pllshed In a manner that will not put
a halo around the culprit. 1t is up
to LLOYD GEORGE to find out whether
his diplomatic victory is a real one
or not. Meanwhile there is the Ques-
ton of persuading Holland to surren-
der the guest of Amerongen. And
meanwhile, also, WILHELM says moth
ing and saws wood.

than the choicest cuts of beef had been

than the choicest cuts of beef had been
once upon time.
Nevertheless the fact remains that
the American people by their self-sac-
rifice during the war have learned
that they can do with a great deal
less meat eating than they ever before
dreamed was possible. They are not
going back to their former degree Of
meat eating unless meat can be made
cheap enough to appeal to them. Just
as they turned from slrloin steak to
Goldfish steak they may turn back from
Goldfish steak TO sirloin steak when 1t
becomes a better bargain or when 1t
becomes nearly good enough bar
gain, the superiority Of beefsteak to
Goldfish steak considered, to tempt
them. Otherwise they will not.
Nor will IL suffice to say that the re-
tail butcher can easily untangle the
economic knot. Maybe he could II his
other costs went down as the price
of beef went down In the packing
house and the price of steers went
down on the range. But his other
costs don't 90 down. They don't even
stand still. He goes on paying more,
not less, for his labor. He goes on
paying more. not less, for his rent. He
goes on paying more, not less, for the
feed of his horses used In his delivery
service. He gees on paying more, not
less. for his fuel, for his light, for his
taxes, for his insurance-for every
single thing necessary to the conduct
of his general business and the selling
Of his specific beef.
There was a time, with all other
costs normal, when the prices which
the retail butcher paid for his beef at
wholesale largely determined, or at
least could determine, his charges to
consumers. This isn't SO any longer.
All his charges are so high, so abb
normally high, that his beef can go
down, and down, and down, and yet
this decline be more than Offset by
the rise in his other costs.
What is true Of the butcher is true
Of the grocer and the candlestick
maker. What is true of them is true
Of every other trader compelled to
deal--if he stays in business-on the
basis Of pennies In cost of material
but dollars in cost Of handling 1t.

The meat problem Is giving anxiety
TO everybody. The consumer is trou-
bled by the high retail price. The
stock raiser is troubled by his ina
billty to sell his cattle. Ordinarily
he could afford to hold his live stock
for while, feeding and fattening it f;
but grain prices are now so inordl-
nately high that II he doesn't get rid
of his cattle they will, so to speak.
eat him up. The Department of Ag-
riculture Is troubled because it knows
that If there isn't profit for the
stock miser in his cattle he not only
will sell them Off on any terms to
stop his heavy feed bills but will quit
raising any cattle at nll. Then the
country will be without beef.
1t Is indeed an extraordinary stu
alton when for the first time in years
there Is an abundance OF beef on the
hoof and in the packing houses-an
actual oversupply-but such high re-
tail prices that the burdened public
will not eat meat
The cattle ralsers, the packers and
the Department of Agriculture want
to stimulate the consumption of beef.
They want to teach the American peo-
pie that with so large supply In the
country they no longer need to save
beef either for our own soldiers or for
the hungry peoples of Europe. But
the trouble is-and 1t IL mighty big
trouble--that tho American people
aren't cutting down their consumption
OF meat because they think 1t is
needed abroad. They aren't cutting it
down because they think there is a
shortage In the West or anywhere
else. They are cutting down their
consumption because they are not
willing to eat 1t at the prices de.
manded for IT,
1t IL true that when American con-
sumers quit one article of consump-
ton because Of its price they usually
turn TO another article of cOnsump-
ton with an increased demand which
also drives its price ~. When bread
got dear the consumers made a rush
for potatoes and made potatoes very
dear. Then they made rush for rice

way they turned from beef to fish and

The Mission From AbyssinIa.

The Abyssinian flag flew yesterday
for the first time over n Government
building at our national capital. The
occasion was the arrival OF the mis-
sion from that North African land
for the purpose of cOngratulating the
American people on their part In
winning the war. 1t will be remem-
bered that In 1915 the Abyssinlan
ruler. LII YAsU, offered the Entente
Powers 100000 of his soldiers after
German agents had vainly solicited his
aid in the conquest of Egypt and the
Sudan. Although the offer OF troops
was not accepted, the assistance
which LII YAsU had given to the pro-
lection Of Egypt and tho Suez Canal
was acknowledged by Funce and
Great Britain, and Abysslnla proudly
aligned itself as one Of the support
ers of the allied nations.
Since the death Of MENELIK II.
Abyssinia has been somewhat neg
lected in the news OF the world. That
genial old autOcrat was skllful adj
vocate for the recognition of his land.
He reminded us that Abyssinia was
old when Rome was young, that his
imperial line was more ancient than
Adams time, that one Of his forebears
was the Queen OF Sheba, that his ma
ton was the grandest of the universe
and his army the greatest.
IL was in the reign Of MENELIK
that the treaty between Abysslnia and
the United States was negotiated. The
mission for this purpose WIS under.
taken by ROBERT i. SKINNER. the
United States Consul Mt Marseilles, In
1904. This mission made an overland
"trip from the Red Sea to Adds Abeba

presents that were sent to President
ROOSEVELT were two ivory tusks and
two young lions.
