Der has been reached maintaining a
state of fuldity behind the front line
Of spectators by statloning patrolmen
on the sidewalk to prevent Jams. In
other words. the regulation Of the
crowd should be from the rear as
well as from the front, and not ex-
clusively from the front.
1t Is obvious that when all the peo-
pie OF q State having 100000 In
habitan want to concentrate on n
narrow strip of asphalt Eve miles
long, and as many Of them as can
raise the price endeavor so to do, con-
gestion Is bound to occur, and thou

pointed. Enforcement Of the system
herein suggested might add few tn
the tale Of the disappointed, but 1t
would serve the comfort and safety
Of hundreds Of thousands Of others
and add immensely to the pleasure OF
women and children, who are most
liable to injury in crowds.

Daylight Saving Begins Tomorrow.

Metlculously law abiding citizens
and those whose occupations keep
them up O. nights will obey the letter
Of the law tomorrow morning at 2
o'clock and set the hands of their
timepieces ahead to 3. Thus they
will begin their daylight saving sea-
son of 1919 in exact accordance with
the terms Of the statute.
Other folks will not bother to walt
the moment decreed by Congress for
the change Of time. When the hour
to turn in comes, even though 1t may
be some time before that fixed for
the official change. they will attend
to the small matter Of adjusting their
clocks and watches and turn out the
lights with clear consciences and the
hope that their slumbers may not be
disturbed until they are ready to arise
and dress for church.
Nature should have been more hos
pitable to daylight saving and guaran-
teed a balmy day for tricking Father
Time. Perhaps the ancient dame
feels an unfair advantage Is taken Of
her by the followers Of WILLIAM
WnLErr. whose publication In 1907
of a pamphlet entitled Waste of
Daylight" started a reform that has
become effective temporarily or per
manently from Iceland to Australia
Mr.. WnLErr was pretty generally
ridiculed when he first proposed to
NEEDLE with the clocks. But It Is es-
timated that daylight saving reduces
the gas and electric bills Of England
by $12,OO0,0O0 a season, and that In
the United States S40,O00,000 meas.
ures the value Of the coal we did moi
burn In 1918 because the nation got
out of bed an hour nearer the sur
than had been Its habit.

The theatre ticket SPECTATORS Of
New York may thank the Aldermen
for saving them from themselves and
the tax collector. The new amusement
tax laws which 20 into effect next
Tuesday, provide that when a ticket
is sold in excess Of It's established
price the seller shall pay "a tax
equivalent to 5 per centum Of the
amount of such excess; and II sold
for more than 80 cents In excess Of
the sum of such established price
tax equivalent to 30 per
centum Of the whole amount Of such
excess"
Under this law II the spectators
pursued their former method Of
charging IS for a much desired two
dollar seat they would be taxed SO
per cent Of So. or $3.50. But as the
Aldermen recently put through an
ordinance forbidding SPECTATORS to
charge more than 80 cents above the
price printed on the ticket, evidently
the Government will never receive
more than two and one-half cents on
the sale Of any ticket sold by a New
York Spectator.
Is not the broker happier now that
the city has protected him from the
Kitchin claw7 Or would he prefer
to make s. and give half Of 1t to the
tax man rather than to make 80
cents and keep all of 1t except the
half Of a njckeI7

teen days Of which thirty-nine Sena-
tors, from twenty-eight States that
contain two.thirds Of the country's
population. pledged themselves to vote
against the covenant In Its form at
that time. Mr.. WILSON, who had de-
clared on February Is that there
is a good and sufficient reason for the
phraseology and substance Of each
article" had not uttered a word to
indicate that he would consent to any
modification of the draft.
A full month, in the course Of
which Mr.. WILSON repeated, in the
Metropolitan Opera House, the SUBJ
stance of his Boston speech, but added
nothing to explain the covenant upon
which all Americans then looked with
mingled curiosity and suspicion.
A full month, In which Mr.. VIII
SONS approved spokesman, Mr.. TAFT,
eventually decided that "the covenant
needs revision" ats meaning has to
be dug out" ut should be made more
definite by n larger reservation Of the
Monroe Doctrine" &C.. &c.
A full month. in which, thanks to
LODGE, KNOX, BoRAH, HuoHEs--and
even TAFT and LowELL-calm inspec-
ton Of the Wilson covenant confirmed
the early impression that, whatever
might be the virtues Of a league to
end war, this Wllsonian draft utterly
failed to meet the most important re-
quirements. 1t not only would not
prevent wars but 1t would invite
them. Instead OF beneftlng America
1t would surrender her ancient po-
litical treasures and entangle her In
a foreign web OF unknown size.
1t has indeed been full month for
the United States, and It has been
devoted to showing Mr.. WILSON that
the good and sufficient reasons" for
each article Of his covenant are not
good and sufficient for the people in
whom Mr.. WILSON ought to be most
deeply interested.

The Albanian PRKNK BIB DoDA, whose
assassination Is reported from Rome.
was several years ago the centre Of
a demonstration unusual even for the
Balkans. He was kidnapped when a
boy. as many promising young Alba
man chiefs were. by emissaries Of An
Dull HAND, and for more than q quar-
ter of a century forbidden to return
to his native land. During the years
Of his exile his place as chief was
sacrediy guarded by his clans, and
when after the Turkish revolution he
returned he was hailed at a wild. bar
barrie festival in the mountains by
the north tribesmen as the Prince of
Albania, the savior OF his country.
PszNx never justified their hopes. His
exile had softened him, his tribesmen
said, and he was unable to under
stand the Albanians. He might be
hardened this; at least. he should not
have been killed for t.; as most OF the
wise men OF Europe have confessed
In recent times to the same lack OF
understanding.

no Misunderstanding. The country
has been nisinformed. We have not
been negligent Of national defence"
DR.. SHAW probably remembers that
this extraordinary utterance by
President Of the United States jaun-
tily brushed aside the question of
national preparedness at time when
the great world war was already a
portentous fact and an immeasurable
menace. There iods need to discuss
the question Of national defence. The
country had NOT been misinformed as
to the urgent need for action. The
Government and the people Of the
United States had been negligent of
national defence. The Wilson Ad-
minlstration had been unmindful Of
the great responsibility resting upon
It, The inaction, the lack Of military
initiative affirmed and defended In the
passage quoted above, delayed the ma
tion's preparation for the tremendous

A Pertinent Reminder.

DIR. ALBEKr SHAW justly remarks
in the Rede,o of Reptetos for April
that "a moderate expenditure for
military and naval development a
few years ago would have saved us
the terrible burdens Of military ex-
penditures we are now bearing"
The proposition Ii almost axio-
matte. It's corollary Is equally and al
most as obviously true A heavy re-
sponsibility rests upon any man who,
on account of personal lack Of vision,
or personal obstinacy Of opinion, or
for political and partisan purposes.
interposed the great authority Of the
Presidents Office to prevent that mod
crate expenditure for military and
naval development few years ago
which would have saved US the terri
BILE burdens Of military expenditure
that we are now bearing.
Every overburdened taxpayer In
the United States will agree with the
editor of the ReHeto of Repietos In
this view Of the magnitude Of the
responsibility that belongs to the
blocker o: mil'tAk' preparedness
We suppose that what DR.. ALBERT
SHAW had In mind when referring to
past neglect Of opportunity was this
ever memorable passage In the mes
sage addressed to the Sixty-third
Congress at the opening Of It's third
session in December of 1914:
at Is said in some quarters that
We are not prepared for war. What
IL meant by being prepared7 Is II
meant that We arc not ready upon
brief notice to put a nation into the
field. a nation OF men trained to
arms? OF course we are not ready
to do that: and we never shall be
In time of peace 30 long as We re-
tain our present political principles
and institutions. And what Ia It that
II Is suggested that we be prepared
to do? To defend ourselves against
attack? We have always found
means to do that. and shall md

out calling our people away from
their necessary tasks to render COM
pulsory military service in time Of
peace.
The subject Is not new. There Is
no new need to discuss II. We shall
not alter our attitude toward It be-
cause some among us are nervous
and excited. The question has not
changed It's aspect because the times
are not normal Let there be

Police Management OF Orderly
Crowds.

Police management of orderly
crowds In New York city has greatly
improved In the last score Of years.
A comparatively few years ago the
eagerness of the spectators who rushed
through the lines at Madison Square
Tuesday would have brought them
broken heads. The newspapers would
have been filled with tales Of police
brutality. This week the police earned
high praise by their good nature, their
restraint in handling enthusiastic
men, their tenderness for helpless
women and children. But the respon-
sIble officers Of the force cannot es-
cape adverse criticism for their fail
ure to take one fundamental precau-
ton which, without seriously impair
ing the opportunity Of any citizen to
watch a great parade, would prevent
such incidents as the blocking Of
Fifth avenue at the Victory Arch
Under the practice now followed by
the police a Gordon Of patrolmen is
esta blished at the curb and citizens
are allowed to pack themselves be-
hind It as densely as they wish. The
early corners get front places. Later
arrivals stand behind them, crowding
as close to them as they can. Spec
tators may be ranged dozen or more
deep. Those In front are satisfied
with their view. Those behind con-
stantly try to better their opportunity
to see. The result is ever increasing
pressure from the rear. which forces
the front line forward over the boun-
dairy established by the police. ...
To keep the spectators where they
should be the police endeavor to press
the persons in the front line back. and
usually these persons are willing to
help. But with the best Of good will
the attempt to straighten the line and
restore It to Its proper place resolves
itself into a contest OF strength be
tween one policeman and one or two
men and women on one side and q
half dozen or dozen persons on the
other. In other words, each patrol
man with such assistance as one OF
two citizens can give him tries tC
shove three or four times his number
of human beings backward. None Of
them Is willing to give an inch, ant
the result Is confusion.
The police were once accustomed
to meet such situations by the use Of
force, clubbing the spectators. This
was the worst thing that could b.
done, aside from the uncomfortable out
rage Of 1t. Confusion turned int
riot; panic seized the crowd, NOR,
| policemen. patrol wagons, ambulance,
were needed. The authorities hav,
made sufficient progress to refrair
from inviting a disaster in the hop,
of overcoming an inconvenience.
This inconvenience, however, cal
be avoided II the police will preven
citizens from forming compact, prac
tically immobile masses, and this car
be done by regulating the number O.
