For Roosevelt Urged
Forestry Associations Head Sug-
gests Tree-Lined Avenue
in Central Park

A Road of Remembrance in Central
Park was suggested yesterday by
Charles Lathrop Pack, president of the
American Forestry Association, as a
proper memorial either to Colonel
Roosevelt or TO the soldiers who turned
the tide against Germany. The park,
Re declared, should not be made the
site of a memorial building of any
sort.
Mr.. Park arrived yesterday to pre-
sue at the annual meeting of the
Forestry Association, which will open
tomorrow in the rooms of the Mer-
chants' Association, Woolworth Build
ing.
with a Road Of Remembrance es-
tablished in the park" Mr.. Pack went
on, "the city could invite all the cities
Of the country TO plant memorial trees

q magnificent avenue, leading up to a
statue, say. of the beloved former
President"
Mr.. Pack said Roads Of Remem brance
we're being established by many cities
and communities along routes Of motor
highways With the establishment Of

Post Your Letters Early
Slogan in New Campaign
Association Heeds
Postoffice Complaint Over
Flood of Evening Mail

AS measure toward reducing postal
delays the Merchants Association, at
the request of Postmaster Thomas G..
Patch, has undertaken to induce the
New York business community to do
its mailing early. Ne present prac
tice not only in New York but through
out the country is to make mailing
the last act of the business day.
Eighty per cent of New York's tre-
mendous volume of mail, an average
of 100000 pieces, is deposited be-
tween and 1880 p. m. The conse-
quence, according to statement yes
terday by the association, is that the
postoffice is overwhelmed, and delay
results.
The association proposes that busi
ness executives order letters deposited
for transmission as soon as signed.
This, the association admits, will en-
tail some small inconvenience at first.
1t would require the man in charge
of the correspondence Of business
house to sign letters as soon as writ
ten, but the saving in time, it main
tains would be well worth the trouble.
The movement here is part of one
which postal authorities state will be
launched in all large cities.

Sailor in Brig Accused
Of Putting Cook ON Ice
Ship Feud Nearly Ends in Re.
frigerator Tragedy After
Shore Fight

Serafno Golfando, one of the crew
of the freighter Lake Wilson, soothed
oy clear conscience, slumbered peace
fully in the brig when the vessel came
IN at daybreak yesterday from the
Canal Zone. He was put in irons by
the skipper soon after the ship left
Crlstobal on the charge that he had
contrlved to give the chief cook a chilly
reception. Every man jack on the ship
liked the chief cook, and the attitude
of Golfando toward the maker of hash
and pastry was hotiy resented by the
crew. When the facts became known
he was slipped into the brig, primarily
for his own safety.
This chilly reception which nearly
killed the cook was the outcome of
fight which the cook and Golfando had
ashore in Cristobal. 1t is alleged that
Golfando tried to even up the scrap
ashore by inviting the cook into the
refrigerator; bidding him hasty
good-by and coolly sealing him up in
the huge icebox.
When nearly all the oxygen within
had been exhausted the numb hand
of the cook fumbled cleaver, and in
desperation he tried to chop his way
to liberty. The noise caught the ear
of the mate, who opened the refriger-
ator and dragged out the limp form
of the cook at just about the time he
was ready to part company with life.
When revived he told his story and
Golfando was spirited away to the brig.
The accused' seaman puts all the
blame for the cooks Imprisonment
upon lurch of the ship and timely
blast of wind from the north.

Legislature May Avert
Walk-Out of Teachers
Pittsburgh Officials Seek Change
In Constitution to Permit
Pay Increase
Special Corre.pondene.

Special Correspondence
PITTSBURGH, Jan. 11.-Strong SEN
tlment was expressed here to-day in
official circles in favor of appealing
to the state Legislature, which is soon
to meet; to revise the state constitu-
tlon, to take action to avert the threat
ened strike of more than 1000 school
teachers who have served notice on
the Board of Education that if thew
are not given a fiat increase of $500
year in pay within thirty days they
will quit their positions in body.
The teachers framed their ultimatum
at a stormy meeting last night. Mar
Gus Aaron, member of both the city
and state boards of education, tried to
prevent radical action. He explained
that the local board had exhausted it's
resources and appealed to the insur-
gents not to strike, telling them that
the public was weary of walk-outs.
When groans and laughter greeted his
plea he said, "If you don't believe it..
try it,"
In the face of the warning the deci-
sion to strike if an increase were not
granted was adopted by unanimous
vote, but the resolution carried pro-
viso that the order to walk out must
have the support Of rs per cent of the
members of the Pittsburgh Teachers
Association.
The discomfort among the teachers
is due IN part to the recent raise
granted to the school superintendent,
whose salary was increased to $4,000
year.

that the pathological building which

While the loss of the building and

a year, ard it was impossible to make
any estimate as to what the outcome
Of the experiments might have been

Clergy of To-day Called
Benighted Body of Men
Severe Indictment of Church in
Present Day Affairs Voiced
by Prof. III. A. Oyerstreet

A severe indictment OF the Church
and what he termed the failure of
Christianity to meet conditions as
they exist to-day was voiced by. Pro-
lessor Harry A. Overstreet in an ad-
dress on Social Morality To-day and
10 morrow" delivered at the Central
'ewlsh institute yesterday. He ac-
cused ministers of being the mos,
oenighted body of men" he knew of
during the war. They had absolutely
Lacked an understanding of the real
causes of the war and were obsessed
with the ethics Of the past, he said
Religion that spends time and en-
ergy preaching against liquor, topacco
and vice in general is not hitting at
the centre of things" he said. "These
are the problems of past civilizations.
They are mot vital issues to-day On
the whole We are rather fine, clean,
decent people. Our problems have to
do chiefly with fundamental relation

IL iAuihnH ictdLioHSHlps' 1 mere arc tWo
moralities-customary morality and
the morality of revolt"
Professor Overstreet said Christian
ity had failed during the war because
the ethics of 1000 years ago had been
brought to bear and had proved
archaic. A new social and individual
morality was being born to-day, he
said. A new religion was coming into
being and a new code of ethics, suit
able to the times, was being created.
"The nineteenth century, with its
laissez-faire capitalism" he said, "was
productive of much that was good, but
it was just as notorious as it was
famous, and it petered out as one or
the most sordid and disillusoned CEN
turies in history. Out of it grew the
passion for protit-making as against
production"
The new code of ethics and the new
religion were being born out of the
very things people were rebelling
against to-day. said Professor Over
street
