Baseball and Fishing on Sunday.

Governor SMITH has approved two
bills affecting the Penal Law, one
repeating the enactment by which fish
ing was prohibited on Sunday, the
other permitting each community to
decide whether baseball games for
which an admission fee may or may
not be charged shall be allowed on
Sunday afternoons. The section OF
the law affected reads as follows:
"All shooting, hunting fishing, play
ing. horse racing, gaming or other
public sports, exercises or shows upon
the first day OF the week. and all noise
disturbing the peace of the day, are
prohibited"
SO far as fishing Is concerned, the
law had been q dead letter for years,
appealed to only occasionally, and
then usually by some irate landowner
seeking to punish trespassers on his
property. But there Is still consider
able opposition to professional ba So
ball games on Sundays, although the
demand for them In cities Is strong
and constantly growing stronger.

THE ELEVENTH ENGINEERS.
Call for a Reception to This Gallant
Regiment.

To THE EDITOR OF THE SUN-Sir. The
Eleventh Railway Engineers were the
first American volunteers In France, the
first to fight, going into action mt
Cambria with tho British in November,
1917 and tina first to suffer serious
casualties. They have seen more active
service than any other New York regI-
ment and have distinguished them
selves innumerabln times And yet with
all the glory "a. honor they have
heaped not only on themselves but on
the city OF which the great majority are
residents have seen no praise or credit
for them In the daily press.
Aren't these boys entitled to a recep-
ton such as was given TO tho boys Of
the Fifteenth Infantry and the Twenty
seventh Division? I believe there ls
enough credit to be shared from tho
winning OF the war TO see that real
heroes at least get n small part of il.

people OF the hoys' homo city going TO
do about it? A, GEoGHEGAN BARRETT.

1915, when President WILSON sent q
note asking that the Mexican factions
get together for the sake of internal
peace the Zapata person had the ef-
frontery to make public the following
rejolnder to Mr.. WILSON:
"If these Northerners don't wish TO
take into consideration our rights as
guardians of Mexican soil II they
deem us weak and incapable OF de-
Tending our beloved country II they
consider It honorable to allow a
great nation to sink a ship like tho
Jusitania with IMMUNITY and then de-
sire to mix in our political affairs
simply because they are strong. then
say let fostilities break OUT"
That extract gives a good idea Of
the manner in which the demagogue
ZAPATA appealed to his own people
against the extension Of a soothing
and benevolent hand. There was a
strong tide always running in his
heart, but 1t was the wrong kind. But
what else could be expected Of a man
who, as we have said, picked his teeth
with a hunting knife?

An American Greeting with Roman
Trimmings.

The 8S2d Infantry, which will pa
rade up Fifth avenue at 10 o'clock
this morning, was originally Il part
Of the Eighty-third Division and went
to Italy last summer. 1t served under
the italian high command during the
campaign in which the Austrlans
were routed from Italy and forced to
sue for terms Its presence in Italy
had a most favorable effect on italian
civil and army morale.
Naturally this regiment Is an object
Of peculiar interest and affection to
our fellow citizens Of italian antece-
dents, and they have arranged to give
full expression to-day to their senti-
ment toward its men. italian societies
are to escort the 332d on its march
from Washington Square, and the
italian authorities are to present a
medal to It in Central Park. The
demonstration in its honor will be
unusual II not unique in the history
of tho city and the history Of the
American Army.
But great though the interest Of
Italians in the 1924 is. the feeling Of
other Americans with the blood Of
other races In their veins is not less
cordial, and the welcome to 1t from
other hearts to-day will not be less
sincere than that given by those who
have a peculiar attachment to the
land In which 1t served. The regiment
has been preceded by excellent re-
ports Of Its performance Of duty, which
have reflected credit on Its men and
ofncerA The addition Of an Italian
flavor to the ceremonies Of to-day in
no degree impairs their wholesome
Amertcanism.

Barbison painters, DAUBIoNY, brought
$1,000 would seem to indicate that
painters Of this school still retain
much Of the high favor in which they
have been held for the past twenty
five years in America. As regards
the prices obtained for these modern
works, 1t might be safely said that
all showed an increase over prices
paid at sales In the past. This would
be true even Of the works OF CoRoT,
although during his lifetime he had
much more ready sale of his paint
ings than did other men Of the Bar
bizon school; 1t was certainly true Of
the Daubigny and Van Marcke land
scapes, and likewise of the works of
DEeAs and RENon, although these
were thought to have been SOLD at q
very low price
Another Interesting feature Of the
seasons sales was the excellent de-
mand for works by American artists
The sale of historic American DOT
traits early in January was especially
euccessful, one Of GrLBERr SruARTs
portraits of George WARRINGTON re-
alizing for the seller $21, 900, another
portrait Of WASHINGTON by REM
BRANDT PEALn bringing $4,000 At
more recent public auctions GDoRaE
INNrss's Golden Sunset" was sold
for $500, canvas by MAHr CAS-
SAT- for $500 and CHuDn HAS
SANS "Ironbound" for $4,000. As a
general thing. though, the public auc-
lions cannot be considered as show
Ing the actual demand for the works
Of the American painters Of to-day
most of their canvases are disposed of
from their own studios or from the
galleries of dealers who represent
them. They have suffered from war
conditions, as have the artists Of all
the world; in fact, the American por-
trait painter has been forced to meet
competition which has not 10 the
same degree confronted the painters
Of other nations, in the presence here
In the past four years of some of the
most distinguished Of European por-
trait painters.
To tho credit Of the American ar
lists 1t may be said that within the
period Of the war they have been doing
some admirable work, work which,
perhaps, even more than In the past,
Is building up a distinctive American
art. It must be gratifying to them
as we'll as to American art lovers to
find the present recognition and ap-
probation Of their efforts,

Here Comes the sixty-uinthi

1t Is useless 10 assert that the 165th
Regiment, now nearing this expectant
port, Is not the Old Sixty-ninth. It IL
waste of energy to remember that
half dozen National Guard regiments
contributed to its original compost
ton. 1t Is beside the mark to remind
ourselves that its ranks have been re-
filled with replacement men many Of
whom are strangers to New York.
The regiment began as the Sixty
ninth, 1t retained Its old designation
throughout the period of hostilities
and 1t will be greeted to-day under
that honorable title.
The dash and zest Of the fighting
Irish mark and dominate this unit
Of the Rainbow Division. The flavor
Of New York city clings to 1t, no mat
ter how much the stern necessities Of
war may have compelled Its organiza-
ton to change. The persistence Of its
original quality Is the best testimony
that could be given to the texture Of
It's earlier personnel. Its reputation,
its peculiar individuality, has sur
vived all the changes time, valor and
tho hazards Of war have wrought in
1t. The Sixty ninth 1t was, the Sixty
ninth 1t is, the Sixty-ninth 1t will be.
Long after men have let slip from
their memories the designation 165th
Infantry they will speak with high
and enduring pride of the Sixty-ninth.
Shall It march up Fifth avenue?
The question is preposterous. Not all
the War Departments horses and all
the War Departments men could pre-
vent that martial display New York
looks forward to, without which we
should not acknowledge that the
Sixty-ninth had reached home.

Is Bolshevlk Propaganda a Cause Of
the Labor E1odus3

To THE EDITOR OF THE SuN-Str: The
news that thousands of alien workmen
are quitting the country is disquieting
irdeed. Tho savings banks have been
asked. according to n recent Associated
Press despatch, by the American Bank
ers Association to aid in checking this
exodus OF men and women, who are
dumping their Liberty bonds on tho
market as we'll as Withdrawing millions
OF savings. OF the 5000, 900 that may
go. 100000 cannot be stopped from
going" say the bankers. and these will
take with them IAN amount four-ffths
that OF the total currency in circulation
and IN reserve in the United States be-
foro the war"
The loss Of so much labor, moro espe-
cially in occupations for which native
Americans show little inclination. will
be felt all the moro when immigration
las been cut Off or materially curtailed.
The bankers attribute this growing
loss of money and OF labor to Boshevik
propaganda. but are they sure OF this?
May not the laws soon TO take effect
whereby these hard working men and
women shall be deprived the country
over OF their accustomed beer and wine
have much to do with their returning to
their native lands?
There would appear to be food for
thought here for those bankers and other
employers whose financial and moral
support has had no much to do with
the success of the prohibtionists.

Buy Victory Bonds!

A number OF communities have al
ready notified the Treasury Depart
ment that their full allotments OF
Victory Loan bonds, the sale Of which
begins today, have been subscribed.
These communities cannot get credit
for their enterprise until they comply
with certain formalities, but their
eagerness to obtain the bonds to which
they are entitled is proof that their
people recognize good thing when
they see it.
As The Sun has said, the Victory
Loan is bad security for the Govern
nlent to issue and security no man
or woman with money to save can
afford not to buy.
That 1t is a patriotic duty Of all
citizens to buy Victory bonds. that the
Victory bonds must be taken, are facts
which need not be discussed here. The
fact which Is Of paramount Importance
to individuals who want to do the
right and wise thing by their country
offers them such IN investment oppor-
tunlty as it has not offered them be-
fore. IN opportunity which enlightened
self-interest impentively urges them
to grasp.
1t should not be necessary for the
Treasury to spend penny to stir up
popular enthusiasm for Victory bonds.
The citizen who knows how to read
and write and who has the moral
capacity to save up his money for his
own benefit should need no other in
struction as to the high desirabllity Of
this security than is contained in the
oficial circular describing it.
The man who does not subscribe for
all the Victory bonds he can swing
will do himself and his dependents
gross injustice.
