BLACK BOYS ANXIOUS TO

COLUMBIA, S. c., July %. While
white young men over the state are
displaying a reluctance to enter the
National Guard under the present reg
ulations which require a six-year term
of enlistment, Negroes in some couh-
ties are making application for per
mission to organize.
Only a few days ago, there came to
the attorney generals office a letter
with regard to the formation of .
company of National Guard The let
ter was turned over to the adjniant
generals department.
The letter is to the general effect
that the writer has seen that several
cities have been granted the privilege
of forming a National Guard company
and that such companies have been
equipped with rifles and uniforms
The letter, continuing. says. "We
have here in Bamberg county, 800 men
fresh from the battlefield who have
seen actual service and they are anX-
ious to stay in practice. Now since
you are granting them this privilege
in other parts of The state. we are
asking for the same privilege, as such
an organization would prove beneficial
to this part of the state

inheritances that fell to the house Of
Savoy from the rulers of the small
States that now have come to consti-
tute the Kingdom of Italy.
In these possessions are included
palaces that are the richest treasures
of many Italian cities. Some of these
palaces Victor Emmanuel turned over
to the nation for its use during the
war. In all, six of his royal resi-
dences, including the beautiful castle
at Caserta, near Naples, and several
villas near Rome and In northern
Italy, were designated by him to be
made into permanent homes for dis
abled soldiers. Whether this relln-
quiehment will include such palaces
as the Pitt, which is the residence
Of the King when he is in Florence,
or the Palazzo Reale. the royal resi-
dence iat Naples, is not indicated In
the despatch sent out from Rome.
The announcement is that the King
gives up his right Of possession to
the buildings on the crown lands "in
favor Of those institutions and chari-
table organizations whose distinct aim
is to mitigate such sufferings of the
people as arose out of the dire conse-
quences of war"
VIcToR EMMANUEL greatly endeared
himself to the italian people during
the war by his democracy and his in
tense interest in the welfare of the
soldiers and their families. His pres
ent action is brilliant example
worthy to be followed by old aristo-
cratic families Of Italy which have
chung tenaciously to their landed hold
ings. 1t is too an example of self
sacrifice that will have an inspiriting
effect upon the patriotism of the
whole nation at time when sacrifices
are most required,

PRoFITEERING BY ORDER.
Punishment Of Haberdasher Who
Delayed in Raising Prices.

To THE EDITOR OF THE SUN-Sir: When
buying collars In a shop on Amsterdam
avenue / asked the proprietor IL he car
ried large stock and IL the.price would
remain the same. He replied he had
on hand an ample supply, but he under
stood word had gone abroad among the
retail trade that the wholesale price
would soon he advanced and the re-
taller would be compelled to charge
more.
This merchant further said that he
had laid In large stock of shirts
priced at So, but last month he received
word from the manufacturer to raise
the price to $3.50. He did not do 80
Immediately. as there was a fair profit
in the shirts at 81 each and he naturally
wished to make as many sales as posi-
BILE during the summer months. Later a
salesman for this shirt factory called
on him and an order for delivery this
fall was given him, but the shopkeeper
has since been informed the order will
not be filled because he did not raise
the price to $3.50 when ordered SO to do.
He said he was helpless. as the manufac-
turers are a rich concern and compel all
of their customers to retail their goods
at prices they dictate.
This Is a glaring case OF profteerlng
on the part of the makers of the goods
The fact seems TO stand out that profit
continues to stand the gaff of exorbltant
prices. PERRY LUKENs.

Saint SwITHN seems to have a rival.
DIR. Edmund Won Mach.

On August 2s and August 20. 1913,
there appeared In THE SUN a certain
news article and editorial concern
ing the activities of DIR. Edmund Won
Mach In connection with the Cltl-
gems Committee for Food Shipment and
the German University League. Both
these articles tended to reflect on the
honesty and integrity of DR.. Won Mach.
DR.. Won Mach is a citizen OF the
United States. a graduate OF Harvard
University in the class of 1895, and for
a number OF years prior TO the war was
an instructor and lecturer at Harvard
University, and has been an extensive
writer on historical and international
topics.
Since the article and editorial ap-
peared In this paper THE SUN has had
occasion to investigate DR.. Won Mach's
activities and connection with both the
Citizens Committee for Food Shipment
and the German University League and
it finds upon such investigation that in
his conduct in connection with those
bodies there is nothing which would re-
fleet upon his honor or personal integ-
rity. THE Sun makes this statement
voluntarily and 80 that a wrong i'm
preston which might have been given
by these published articles may be cor
rected.

What about the ultimate consumer
in America? Well, Mr.. HOOVER says
this Government must fix maximum
and minimum prices. He seems to
forget that the Governments fixed
price for wheat is at the base Of the
pyramid Of the artificial prices that
now afilict most of the people.
II America is willing to sell un-
limited wheat and other food abroad
on credit Europe will be an eager
customer. With a fixed price of $2.26
for the grain which sets the pace of
almost all costs and a great European
demand ION tick" when would prices
in the United States ever fall7
Mr.. HoovER's trouble Is that he
tries to lead, in perfectly respect
able way, double life. He tries to
be at once the steward and solicitor
Of Europe and citizen of the United
States sympathetic with the pains of
Americans. It's hard Job.

CHEMISTS PRAISED
BY SECRETARY BAKER
No Profession GaUe More to
War, He Says.

PHILADELPHIA. Sept. 3.-High tribute
To the chemists of America for the i'm
portant part they played in the success
OF the war was paid by Newton d,
Baker, Secretary of War. in an address
to-day at the fifty-eighth annual con-
Vehlion OF the American Chemical So
clety here.
Secretary Baker deplored the terrible
waste OF war, but declared himself
ready to repeat the last two years IL II
again became necessary for the exist
ence of liberty. He discussed the milf
tary system to be inaugurated which
will keep the nation in a state of pre-
paredness. THE soberest, sanest, least
criminal aggregation OF It's size that
ever stood together on this planet" was
a tribute he paid to the American Elk
peGitionary Force.
II am here" he declared because
the Government owes a debt of appre
cation TO the chemists of the United
States.
"Onethird of the chemists OF America
were in the military service OF this coun-
Try one-third were in essential indus
tries, and the other third In war work
at home.
While comparisons are impossible, I
do not believe any profession contributed
larger portion OF it's members to the
military service or did a greater work
In wartime.
The doctors as a class made a great
contribution to the success Of the war
This is the first war in history In which
deaths from disease were less than
deaths from battle wounds"

WHY 1T rs COOL.
Venus Has Been Showing Us Away
From the Sun.

From the Sun.
To THE EDITOR OF THE SUN-sir: As
the poet says.
The great laws OF life readjust their
infraotion.
And to every emotion appoint a re-
action.
This principle is also found true in
the capers of a. planet. Venus ad-
vancing with her repelling force, holds
the earth outward little from the sun
frcm July to September Is, causing
cool and moderate spells of weather
scattered along between the hot days.
Then, as a reaction. Venus passes be-
tween the earth and sun September IA,
moving away from the world by reced-
ing westward around the sun. Thus
Withdrawing her repulsion from the
earth, Venus allows us to move in to-
ward the warm sun again, which will
result in unusually warm spells of
weather scattered along from the mid
die OF September 10 the middle of No
vember, which will be a fine fall season.
AS Venus approaches us she gives US
the cold shoulder" then the reaction
takes place as she retires and welcomes
us back 10 the warm sun again.

The Case OF Everett Scott.

We are indebted to n tireless Bos-
ton baseball statistician for the very
interesting information that Short
stop EVERETT ScoTT of the American
League club Of that city has played
sol consecutive games, in which he
has earned the fine fielding average
of 1896.
An English physician who lectured
in this country year or so ago,
preaching a new health doctrine Of
Incidence, has recently further adver-
tised his cult whereby he severely con-
dennis athletics as supposed aid to
health, even aiming n mighty wallop,
in a way of speaking and for one so
unathletic, at the mild advocates of
deep breathing.
Let him consider the case Of EVER
EFT ScoTr with his 1860 innings of
strenuous baseball since 1916, his
100 times at bat, his oil earned
bases, his innumerable abrupt jumps,
slides, darts. accepting chances he so
seldom misses Of stopping a whizzing
and hard baseball before or shortly
after 1t crosses the path between sec
ond and third bases. Then consider
Major ScorT's robust health
The new cult may be all right for
lazy folk who do not want to exercise,
but we think It's adoption would bore
to death the Hon. EVERETT ScoTr.

The Audit Begins.

Any competent and conscientious
accountant, we think, would be in
clined to view with professional sus-
picion the "itemized" statement trans
mitted to the chairman of the House
Appropriations Committee by President
WILSON through Mr.. TUMULTY. The
"itemized" account purports to show
the expenditures by the President of
the $50,o00,000 emergency fund voted
by Congress at the last session. The
disposition of the earlier emergency
fund of $100,O00,000, voted at the
time Of the declaration of war, has
been accounted for incompletely In q
previous statement.
The figures supplied by Secretary
TUMULTY to Chairman Coon are beau
tifully round, so far as they cover ex-
penditures for the Peace Conference.
An auditor who knows his business
would hardly be satisfied with items
like these:
For preparation Peace Con-
ference ..........s1 800. 900
For political intelligence,
Peace Conference. ...... $4,000
For American mission to
negotiate peace. ......... 500. 900
"Iaor expenses b. NJ. BARucH,
technical adviser. ........ 10000
For expenses Peace Com
Ostensibly the grand total Of ex-
penditures, including these and SINH
lar "items," described as directly
connected with the peace mission" is
81 ,575, 900; and as the occasion for
such incomplete information as has
already been afforded to Congress Is
a Presidential request for an appro-
prIation of $685., 900 more on the same
account the total already plainly In
sight is $2,400,OO0.
The people who have been strug-
Cling for several years with their re-
stricted incomes to pay taxes and
buy Liberty and Victory bonds aud
help on the country's cause will be
likely to agree with the Committee on
Appropriations that something like
mathematical accuracy and specific ac-
counting is highly desirable and fairly
to be expected of the Administration

THE GREAT MEN OF THE
ELECTRICAL AGE.
Mr.. Edison Replies to Mr.. Sprague's
Recent Observations.

To THE EDITOR OF THE SuN-Sir:
have noticed in your paper OF August
a. 1913. communication from Frank
J. sprague In which he takes me to
task for claiming in a recently published
article the invention of the trolley car.
If he will read the article more care
fully he will notice that made no
claims at all for the invention of the
trolley
Mr.. Sprague's principal contribution
to the trolley car was the mechanical
suspension of the electric motor to the
truck. The motor itself was the mod
ern reversible, low resistance. high eff
cheney, dynamo-motor devised and de-
velcped by me in working out the mean
descent electric light system. This was
already invented and at hand for Mr..
Sprasue to adapt to the conditions of
a railway car truck. Neither he nor
Siemens nor any one else could have
succeeded in making a trolley system
commercially practicable without this
development.
A trolley car does not constitute
trolley system. A central current gen.
Grating and distributing station and a
complete system of conductors are abso-
luto necessities. had ALREADY spent
years in their development for the in
candescent electric light system and they
were available to Mr.. Sprague. So, while
I have never made any claims In re-
gard to the trolley car, 1t will be con-
coded that my connection with It Is not
entirely remote.
Mr.. Sprague states also that he had
great financial difficulties in introducing
the trolley system into Richmond and
carried it out largely by his personal
credit. Perhaps he has forgotten that
when his company was without funds
and the Richmond project was in seri-
Gus situation, due to too much mathe-
mates on the part of Mr.. Sprague, 1
came forward and trusted his company
for over 100000 worth Of apparatus
and the aid of my men to pull the
scheme through.
What Mr.. Sprague can really claim is
| that by his persistence and electrical
knowledge he was the first one to start
the trolley car system commercially.
This IL what have always thought and
publicly stated. THOMAS A. EDISON.

vague as to where, locating the in

A Kings Gift to His Nation.

At the present session of the Italian
Parliament, which opened yesterday
ut Rome, Premier NITTI is to an
nounce the REIMBURSEMENT by King
VrcToR EMMANUEL of all the crown
properties held In his name through
out Italy. This grant Of the royal
domain is made, according to a des-
patch from Rome, "for the benefit of
the peasantry and of those who fought
for italian unity"
The gift Is one of.the most remark
able ever made by sovereign to his
subjects. and In making it VICTOR
EMMANUEL has taken Il course con-
trary to that Of European rulers, who
have heretofore endeavored zealously
to protect themselves from any en-
croachment of the people upon the
rights and prerogatives Of properties
which have been held by their dynas-
tic houses.
The exact value of the italian
crown properties is not stated; Il
perhaps Is not so great as that of the
crown lands held by the HApssuRas,
which included rich mineral and agri-
cultural lands in different parts of the
former Austro-IIungarian monarchy,
or that of the possessions of the Ro-
MANoFFs, which comprised immense
forests, mineral tracts and mines In
European Russia and Siberia. The
Italian crown lands, however, are un.
doubleday more extensive than those
held by the present rulers of any
other European countrN-.Theye were
