Of fine types Of American manhood

II, II, II!

To stir covenant supporter to
horizontal vision and aerial voice It
is only necessary to mention the case
of Poland as an example Of League
impotency, The Springfield Repub-
Hcan is one of the newspapers which
insist that while league of twenty
nine nations can do nothing a league
of thirty nations could and should do
everything:
"If the French had been reassured
by Americas active membership in
the League and the guaranty against
attack supplied by the supplementary
convention. the motive for encourag-
ing Polish aggression against Soviet
Russia would have been far less
strong, II It had not been entirely alb
sent, In the French capital. It Is a
fair assumption that American infiu-
ence would have been cast against
any Polish offensive In the Ukraine.
that France would have listened to
American advice and that the pres
ent situation would not have come
about"
In fewer and less honeyed words, If
the United States had been In the
League the Republican thinks it
would have deferred France from
helping the Poles to whale the Boil
sheviki. And Frances motives, as
viewed by the Republican, are utterly
selfish. Even Mr.. WILSON, IL his
views are correctly expressed in Mr.
CoLBY's recent note, is not of the
Republicans way Of thinking on the
Polish situation.
The main feature of all these ex-
plantations Of the Covenanters is that
they begin and end with the condi-
tIonal particle. If, If, If! The in
ventor Of n perpetual motion ma
chine, explaining why his contrap-
ton ought to go when 1t doesn't, is
logical in comparison with the apollo
gists of the covenant.

Soldiers In New York City.

There is some talk, not from official
quarters, of the possibility Of using
United States soldiers to maintain
order in New York city In the course of
the Brooklyn Rapid Transit strike.
That United States soldiers might
under certain circumstances be used
for this purpose Is true.
The fact that the Brooklyn Rapid
Transit is in the hands of a receiver
appointed by a United States court Is
alleged to have some bearing on this
possibility.
Those who are anxious to find re-
mote consequences Of potent effects
even go so far as to say that the state
of war in which President WILSON
has kept the nation might have an In
fiuence on the case.
Others point out that In many re-
cent instances Of domestic disorder
In other communities United States

by the passage OF a Congressional
resolution. or by the negotiation OF q

Covenant taat II contains solely In
the light OF their effect on the future
welfare OF the United States"
Read In connection with his speech
of Saturday this early prospectus Of
party policy, this early recognition by
Senator HARDING Of patriotic duty,
gives the measure both of his clear
ness of vision and his steadlness Of
mind. We venture the opinion that
Senator HARDrNG's sly and shlfty
adversary will not be uncommonly
grateful to our nelghbor the World If
that newspaper persists in inviting
comparisons as to wiGgllng and wab-
bling-on the Covenant Of the I Ieague
or on any other subject.
Senator HARDING's speech Is Il
perfectly clear pronouncement, 1t is
straight In line with his utterances
when things were not so plain to sight
as they are now. Ardently desiring
peace and good will among the nations
Of the earth, he had discovered, more
than year ago, the folly and futility
and unconstitutionality Of President
war breeding plan.

Governor COx's Bad English and
Other Things.

A gentleman of Chicago submits this
question to US:
"Is the use of the word nor Cox
ian verblage in this sentence:
"'When am elected do not in
tend that a Senatorial ring nor any
other kind Of ring shall own me-
'Tt certainly is not good style"
There has been a tendency, of
which this letter is symptomatic, to
criticise Governor Cox and Senator
HARDING for slight lapses in literary
style. This tendency should not be
encouraged. 1t indicates that those
who indulge in 1t miss the meaning
Of the election this fall.
Nobody is going to quarrel with Gov
ernor Cox for using NOR" when "or"
should be. Nobody is going to with
hold a vote from him because he is
one Of those to whom shall" and
will" present insurmountable dinlcul-
ties. Nobody is going to deny him at
the polls because the subjunctive mood
and the gerundial case occasionally
puzzle him.
Since March 4, 1918, the nation has
had a President whose literary style
has aroused the enthusiasm of the
self-appointed Janitors of English.
From him the people have learned n
lesson. He has taught them that when
a man comes seeking their sufrrages
they must look deeper than his lit
erary style to find what Is in his
heart, and further than his oratorical
method If they want to know what
schemes are in his head.

Bryce, formerly British Ambassador to
the United States.
Hamilton Holt, editor Of the Tndepen-
dent in an address at the city hall de-
clared that the ideals OF awakening
America of to-day were comparable to
those of the Pilgrim Fathers and that
the United States, regardless OF the
political struggle going on within her,
would enter the League OF Nations
eventually to protect the liberty which
the Pilgrim Fathers sought.
Among the delegates were W. o. Brad

of Massachusetts; Henry Atkinson, DR..

GOOD NEWS FOR DRIVERS.
A New Pavement Is to Be Laid on
Dyckman Street.

To THE SUN AND NEW YORK HERALD:
OF interest to thousands Of automo-
bilists and drivers Of other vehicles is
the news that the city at last has started
to repair the Dyckman street pavement.
A score of men are now engaged in tear
ing up the old pavement.
Probably every driver Of an automo-
bile who in the last two or three years
has used Dyclman street to get to
Broadway or the ferry to Interstate
Park has noticed the deplorable condi-
ton Of the pavement. 1t has often been
called the worst paved street in New
York. Everywhere were ruts and holes
to try the strength Of springs and the
tempers Of men. Many an automobile
came out Of the battle At for the repair
shop.
Now the job is, being tackled In the
right way and it is promised that when
1t is completed Dyckman street will be
fit for the gods to ride on.

WAR LID STILL BARS
ALIEN IMMIGRATION
Rules Governing Entry Of Ger
mans and Austrians Given
Out in Washington.
ANSWER MANY INQUIRIES
Service in TeutOn Armies One
Of Obstacles compelling
Appeal Recognized.

WAsHlNGToN, Aug. 30.--Many Ameri-
cans OF German or Austrian descent
throughout the United States are con-
stantly inqulrlng whether the time has
yet arrived when their relatives and
friends In those countries can come to
America, and what restrictions are I'M
posed upon such immigration.
Some are patiently waiting until all
restraint Is lifted when the United States
and Germany shall have made peace.
Others betray impatience because nearly
two years have elapsed since the ter
OF hostilitles and the ban has
not yet been raised.
The State Department holds that citi-
zens of Germany and Austria may OBJ
tain admittance to the United States only
through circumstances Of compelling
appeal" under regulations laid down by
that department; that wartime restric-
tions against enemy aliens still hold
good, and that Germans and Austrians
must apply to American diplomatic or
consular agents abroad, or to the State
Department direct, for wise OF passports
temporary admission to this
country. Under unusual circumstances
the passport may be continued Indefinite
ly after the aliens reach the United
States.
Germans and Austrians who may OBJ
tain authorization to enter the United
States must fall within the following
classificatlons:
Business men who can prove con-
clusively that their visit will be OF ad-
vantage to American business interests.
In such cases letters of recommendation
must accompany the application from an
American firm establishing the necessity
for the visit.
Aged parents of naturalized American
citizens when It is clearly proved that
such parents are dependent upon their
American children for their
support
American born women who have mar
ried German or Austrian citizens.
Relatives of naturalized American
citizens who can prove their dependency
upon such citizens.
Service In the German army L. held
to preclude admission of any German
citizen who might claim right Of entrance
under any OF the foregoing circum-
stances.
Because Of the absence from Germany
and Austria of American diplomatic and
consular officials pending the establish
ment Of peace between the United States
and those countries, German and Aus
trian citizens find 1t difficult to obtain
an American wise for passport Those
desiring to visit the United States must
either go 10 country in which there
are American diplomatic or consular rep
resentatives, or must communicate d.
reotly with the State Department In
Washington.
Only fifty-two Germans and fifty
three Austrians were admitted to this
country in 1919, the first year following
the world war. In 1914 the total num-
ber of German immigrants coming to
the United States was 35,734 and the
total of Austriars was 27S,152.

THE SAME OLD WORLD.
In Some Respects It Is Growing Bet
ter and in Others Il Isn't.

To THE SUN AND NEW YORK HERALD:
Is the world growing better? The an
swer depends on the meaning Of the
word better. II It means scientific ad-
vancement, or increase In wealth, or
higheA standards of living, or moro
sources of pleasure. then truly the world
Is growing better
But II the word better Is taken to
mean moral or aesthetic Improvement
the answer Is not so certain. And none
but a morally or spiritually minded per-
son is really competent to express an
opinion. All such who can look back
over twenty-five or thirty years of world
history can easily draw comparisons.
The world war of course has put US
back lamentably and perhaps is the
cause for the present prevalence Of
crime. greed and general lawlessnesS.
Also, when we consider the field Of let
ters or art or drama Is there not a ret
repression from the ideals Of the nine
teenth century? There is quantity
enough, blt what Of the quallty7 The
motion picture cannot be said to equal
stage presentations. The phonograph
sends forth more cheap songs than clas-
sic lyrics. Severe criticisms have been
launched against certain dances even by
the dancing masters themselves.
In the midst Of this evident lax ten
dency the minds of some folk turn to
the church. But few clergymen's names
are nationally known. While the men,
bership of the churches grows naturally,
the spiritual tone Of the members, so far
as / can see, Is below what 1t was some
years ago. My observations cover sew
eral towns and many churches. The
more conservative and perhaps older
denominations do not exhibit SO much
change in religious. demeanor as do
others Reverence especially has fallen
away.
Over against these laxitles, II they be
such. may be found an increased activ-
ity in social welfare and community ef-
fort. These activities, however. would
seem to the writer to have been under
taken ir consequence of loss of In
terest for the salvation Of the souls Of
the people.
In conclusion let It be said that every
war has been followed by period Of
moral depression and physical extrava-
gance, and we may hope to come out
into time when we may truly say the
world is growing better.

These considerations are all beside

The fact is that New York city has
