New York on . Holiday.

1t Is not the hoopskirts Mayor
HYLAN drapes on City Hall, the i'm
penetrable jungle of depressed ever
greens and their stays of wire which
sprout on once respected greensward
that most impress when New York
goes on holiday. Not even the for
mality Of Mr.. HAsTINas's Madison
Square arch or the gorgeous specta-
Gle of the Illuminated entrance to the
great reviewing stand at Sixtieth
street gives the color to the town.
These are tangible expressions Of the
spirit Of the city, themselves the
creatures of a deep sentiment which
in its entirety human ingenuity is in
capable Of fixing In monument or pic
ture. The composer or the poet Of
gifts may register 1t for all time; no
medium less fluid than music or
poetry meets the needs Of the case.
There Is a distinct and palpable
change in the aspect Of the crowds
that fill the streets. The everyday
concentration Of purpose is cast aside.
The apparent intensity of the throngs
that hurry here and there undergoes
a subtle change. There is a relaxa-
ton, an expansion, growth in hui
man fellowship that warm the heart.
The contagion Of good feeling works
a miracle of brotherhood. The as
perity Of daily intercourse is relieved.
The habitual politeness of the few is
communicated to the many. broadened
in Its application. 1t Is not on this
day an effort to smile. Good nature
becomes the wear Of all.
Since war brought some up and
more down to understanding of hu-
man interdependence New York has
frequently seen this unaffected and
natural transformation worked in Its
population. The Liberty Loan cam
paigns effected 1t; the Red Cross un-
locked the hearts Of the multitude
the united'effort of religious and civic
societies for money did 1t. Block par
ties have ceased to be block parties ;
they are city parties. Urban reti-
cence gives way to that all embracing
acquaintanceship incorrectly supposed
to mark rural life. 1t Is not the spirit
Of New Year eve gayety; a finer, deep
er, more potent essence marks 1t. Not
merely to have a good time, but to be
of good time, TO give as well as take
i may be It's specific popularity. There
Is less obvious thought of self, greater
interest In common concern. made
manifest unconsciously but neverthe-
less convincingly.
The historians of New York must
not neglect these interesting phenom'
ena when with judicial poise they SET
down the successes and failures, the
reaction of New York to the sorrows
the duties, the stern joys of war
Somewhere, let us hope, the successors
of PHILIP HONE are preserving for the
enlightenment of future generations
those priceless Incidents and anec
dotes that illuminate more clearly
than the most pretentious generaliza
lions the habits Of men.
We have seen 50 much and lived sc
much in not quite twenty-four month:
we have become insensitive to all ex
cept the most penetrating excitements
but the whole record OF our city's ex
pressions and demeanor should be pre-
served for the New Workers of an
other generation.

Peace Anthem.

Father. enthroned on high.
Humbly Thy children cry
Bless Thou our land!
Look down from Heav'n and bless
Earth with Thy righteousness.
Then reign OF happiness
Shall have its birth.
Bless our beloved ialdl
Firm may she ever stand
Through storm and night!
Guard Thou her children brave
Mid perils dark and grave;
Do Thou our country save.
Bless Thou tho Right
May earth no more rehesrse
Wars song OF crime and curse.
o make war cease!
Death tube and shrieking she'll
Sound for brave men tho knell.
Women the chorus swell
Send Earth Thy Peace!
Not on this land alone
Be Thy compassion shown
But on the worldl
May all the nations be
Banded in unity,
Hailing with loyalty
Thy dag unfurled!
Thine be the victory!
Thine shall TIVE glory be!
For Thee We night!
Thy kingdom we proclaim'

From moral standpoint the opponents of the treaty
were stronger IN their position on Shantung but on the
bass Of the vote they were not bit better off than they
were on the Fall amendments There is but one other
amendment about which the advocates Of the treaty need
feel any tneasnes-tbat which provides that the voting
power Of the members of the League Of Nations shall be
equal thus reducing the vote of The whole British empire
TO the level of the United States but there does not seem

PASS THE MeNARY BILL QUICK

n there is storage Of sugar. Government officials
and sugar interests believe it is due to boarding.
Hoardns prompted by the fact that sugar control by the
Sugar Equalization Board ends December 81. Because it
ends the board cannot pchasethe Cuban sugar crop Of
1920 at the figures of last year and the year previously,
when we dealt with the Cuban government, bought the
entire crop and 50 were able to keep the price down and
everybody supplied.
Senator Mclary of Oregon has introduced bill which
is now before the Senate committee on agriculture extend
ing sugar control over 1920 1t too late to prevent some
re in prices, because the Cuban government after offering
US the sugar CROP when we failed to take the offer, with
drew it in September. and the Cuban crop-estmated at
100000 tons for the next years being sold the open
market at high prices.
But government officials, believe that it will still be
possible reopen negotiations with the Cuban government
and buy most of this crop if we act quickly.
The McNay bill is the only hope tho people of the
United States have of getting sugar 92O-at anything
like reasonable price.
If you want sugar in 1920 at reasonable price, better
tell your representatives and senators to get busy They
will, if you tell them loudly enough.
