Where the League Has 1t Easy.

The promoters of that nationwide
campaign in favor of the League of

England ought to have as much doubt
about its outcome as a Democratic

The distinguished statesmen who are
solemnly appealing TO the British pub

not likely to be discouraged.

AVOID VOLCANOES, PLEASE
The Earth's Crust Is Going to Bend
In Next Month. Says Mr.. Grover.

To THE EDITOR OF THE SUN-Sir: The
earth's crust Is comparatively thil like
the peeling is to the apple hence we are
living on delicate shell. The least
bending Of this shell makes use of a
leverage that produces tremendous pres
sure upon the pent up gases under vol
canoes and in other portions Of the earth
A pressure like this forced Off the top
Of volcano Mount Pelee at o'clock one
morning in 1909 and destroyed a city.
A good opportunity for studying this
crust bending stunt will occur in Decem-
Der. The earth will be running along at
the usual speed of eighteen or twenty
miles per second, but since the planets
Jupiter and Saturn will be ahead of her
In the race around the sun the repelling
force Of the advancing earth will be
holding upward from the sun the weight
OF those two giant planets. This would
be nothing unusual for the earth If It
were not for one little circumstance that
may cause a little hitch or interference
with the earth's progress. At 2 o'clock
p. NJ. New York time, December 5, the
earth carrying its extra load Of those
two planets will be moving directly
toWaru tne repellnB force OF one OF
them, the big pSsnet Jupiter.
OF course something will happen. The
earth's crust will bend little more than
usual. This will increase the pressure
of gases under volcanoes and elsewhere
In other words. It will increase volcanic
activities. II a volcano happens to be
located where the pressure Is greatest,
caused by immense leverage as half Of
the earth's crust bends in from Jupiter's
force, that volcano would be next to
be numbered among the i'll fated dis
asters Of history. But II at that critical
time no volcano happens to be along the
neighborhood of the earth's horizon as
viewed when Jupiter looks directly down
at the earth there may be no great erup-
ton, but just increased volcanic activi-
ties. also contractions of released earth
quakes caused by the bump.

OF Jupiter November 10 and the weight
Of Saturn December 4. Keep away from

SIMS ON NAVAL UNIFORMS.

Admiral Sims reported to the Navy De-
partment, II he made any report on this
subject, but there is before me now a
reprint of letter from him dated Nay
IL. 1918. which originally appeared hin
the Army and Navy Register, in which.
over his title vice-Admiral, he holds the
projected modification Of the coat UP to
ridicule. He says. among other things !:
II my memory serves me It was pro-
posed that, in place of the present So
called blouse. we should adopt a blue
kimono, the alleged advantages being
that"
The Vice-Admiral then gave ten al
legged advantages of the, ,klmono. such as !:
1T will discourage putting hands in the
trousers pockets; It is more serviceable.
as there Is no braid or anything to wear
out; It requires no tailoring skill, any
lady can make one 1t has no shape, SO
that 1t therefore holds it's shape better"
After this amusing introduction Vice.
Admiral Sims, admitting his belief that
majority of the officers approved the
proposed change on account of the
comfy advantages of the sack coat
wrote an Illuminating essay on the phi
losophy of uniforms, emphasizing the de-
STABILITY of distinctive appear rance-the
Daniels sack coat can scarcely be told

NEW YORK, October IA.

1t is the Administration of the
United States Government which is
responsible, under the emergency re-
quirements Of war and under the en-
abling acts of Congress, for the oper-
alton of the express companies, for
the operation Of the shipping, for the
operation of the whole national trans
portation. 1t is the Administration
OF the United States Government,
therefore, which is responsible, strike
or no strike, for the delivery to New
York city of its supplies of food, fuel
and other necessaries.
When the British Government, re-
sponsible in exactly the same way to
the people OF tine United Kingdom,
was faced with suspension of rail
transportation threatening to starye
the urban populations, that respon-
sible Administration Of the British
Government met the issue fairly and
squarely. 1t put thousands of motor
trucks into the service Of carrying to
the people the food they needed. 1t
put tens Of thousands Of passenger
automobiles, motorcycles, bicycles, into
that service. 1t put even airplanes
into that service.
The responsible Administration Of
the British Government called for and
obtained volunteers to operate the
tracks and trains and terminals aban-
doned by the strikers. The respon-
slble Administration of the British
Government thus operated the ma
tion's distributing machinery, new
and old, customary and improvised.
II thus delivered to the public its
necessary food. 1t thus showed the
strikers that they had not the power
to starve and freeze the people. 1t
thus broke the back of the strike and
Won the fight for the nation.
In our own crisis the responsible
Administration of the United States

responsible for the helplessness of the

las the responsibility. 1t has the au-
thority. 1t does not function.
So the public is swept on nearer and
nearer to want, hunger and misery !;
the responsible Administration of the
United States Government drifts fur
ther and further into the menace of
disrespect and defiance Of Its func-
lions, its powers, its existence.

A Staggering Budget.

The budget of the city's expenses
twenty years ago was SOL 100000.
Ten years ago it had mounted to
$16o, 100000.
Last year it reached the appalling
figure Of $24S,OOO,OO0.
Now the estimates for 1920 are out.
They are $316521, ,42S.
Overpaid citizens will take the news
with shrug. The underpaid will
receive it with the numbness of those
in whom constant soaring atrophies
the nerve of appreciation.
The Mayor says 1t mustn't be:
"This tremendous increase will place
a tax burden on the little property
which the landlord will compel the
tenant to pay" The tenant will smile
bitterly over this, the landlord having
started compelling" months ago. The
landlord will see In the budget a JUS
tifcation of his rent increases.
Mr.. HYLAN very properly approves
the salary rises for underpaid civil
employees-policemen, firemen, street
cleaners and laborers. They must not
be starved to keep the tax rate down.
The Mayor opposes all new construc-
ton except "vital necessities" such
as schools.
Who is to blame for the huge rise
Of the city's expenses2 Mr.. HYLAN
says 1t is mandatory legislation and
"the extraordinary manner in which
war expenditures were made by the
Federal Government" In this Second
reason he hits the nail on the head,
for the imitation Of all prices and the
rise of all taxes are easily traced to
the squandering in Washington.
We wish the Mayor all success in
his promised effort to cut down bud
get which would impose a tax of $50
for every head Of New York's popu-
lation. The closer the budget can be
kept the better the city will be able to

ease and certain varieties of igno-
rance. The West Is afflicted just now
with greed, laziness and false eco

stant If slow Improvement In Its def
ciencies, while the West daily takes
on new symptoms. When the East
accumulates some of the civilization
which the West has had for a GEN.
tury its population may not increase
so rapidly. 1t Is the habit of pro-
gressive nations to have fewer but
better children.
Incidentally, Sir HENRY shows a
sad lack Of faith in the League of
Nations. His own Government con-
trolls a large part of the East, and
the terms Of the covenant give Great
Britain a firmer hold than ever on
India so why should he worry? Per-
