NEW YORK'S MARKET PLANS.

For several years tentative plans for
creating n series of municipal food mar
kets, distributed at selected points IN the
boroughs of New York City, have been
under discussion. At the session of the
budget and finance committee on We'd
nesday an allowance of Sl0O,0O0,OO was
made for the establishment of city-con-
trolled terminal markets in all of the five
boroughs. The phrase terminal mar
kets'' is used in the given-out statement,
which seems TO imply that all the pro-
posed markets are to be equipped Tor
direct delivery from the transportation
lines. In other words, loaded cars Will run
right into the markets with oranges from
Florida, Strawberries from Maryland,
peaches from Georgia, and fresh fish from
the Maine coast, unloaded right IN the
market warehouses.
1t is to be presumed that these markets
will be both wholesale and retaIl-the
main idea being for the quick and eco
nomic handling Of all perishable foods. It's
a question that will have 10 be decided IN
the final plans whether subsidiary num-
cipal markets not provided with direct
railroad connections will be established
in order to make the market system as
comprehensive and convenient as the
needs Of city Of near 6,0O0,00O popuia-
ton calls for. Baltimore has more than
dozen municipal retail markets, but not
single terminal markct-no municipal
market which the railroad lines enter
directly The New York scheme, plainly
enough. is not modelled on the Baltimore
scheme baltimore American.

One of a Great Group.

Jacob Gould Schurman leaves the presi-
dency Of Cornell University. He carries
with him the honor and affection Of
Cornell alumni and the public.
The event marks the retirement Of one
of the last of an able and progressive
group of men who have made the Ameri-
can university what it is today.
This group, which included men such
as Schurman, Eliot, Hadley and Angel,
have earned high place in Americas roll
of honor, achievement and service.
These educators were men of vision.
They were also eminently practical. They
were dreamers and administrators who
contrived to make their dreams come true
Like waves stirred in a quiet pond,
the influence of these men who built
universities from colleges has extended
to every part of America. The university
influence has made itself felt in every
walk Of life, in every human activity.

WILL GERMANY STRIKE AGAIN?

Many imagine that when the armis-
tice and peace were signed by Germany she
did so because she was terribly beaten
and crushed. Far from it, 1t was merely
a step to forestall the Allies. Ever since
the signing of the treaty she has never
carried out the terms as proposed. What
ever she did was done because the Allies
forced her. She did not disarm and de-
stroy her munitions; she sent them to
Russia. Her intrigue and propaganda are
being carried systematically throughout
the world. Time is what she is bidding
for, and if the Allies do not wake up it
will be too late.
She has planned with Russia to over
run the small countries and then the de-
Tendencies of the Allies, forcing the lat
ter to send forces to the distant points
to crush the so-called Bolshevist move
ments. The armies being carried away
from home, the homelands will be in
weak and defenseless condition, whereby
Germany, seeing her opportunity, will
strike again and win.
In our country we have so-called Sena-
tors-tools d Germany--who by their
stand against the treaty and the League
of Nations are helping that nation to
carry out her plans.
All such labor and Bolshevist move
ments in the Allies lands as well as here,
are born and promulgated in the chief
headquarters of the German propagandas
and Intrigue Commission, to- waken her
foes for her decisive hour.
We have third party born in the po-
litical circles which also orlginatd in the
same nest.
There should be no dickering with such
an illusiye and treacherolIs foe; her ship
ments to Russia ss must mus be stopped an and all all
out Immediately.
Whoever casts vote this fall for Re-
publican or third-party man, be he a
candidate for Senator or President, casts a
vote for the destruction of the principles
of liberty and for the disgrace of the Unit
ed States.-K. l.. in New York World.

CHILDREN OF THE DEAD.

sWc are tho children Of the dead.
Beyond the doors Of Heavens blue
Brave souls expect us TO be true.
Who knows how many tea1 they shed
When one of ua shall walk hstrayf
Who knows the words Of praise they
say
When one of us upon the earth
Shall justify his hour Of BIRTH
We follow them who lived before.
Because they lived we now have life
AIfd strength to meet it's time Of strife.
For us they opened wide the door,
Bequeathcd to us all thing they learned,
Left g'iidcsposts on the roads they
turned,
And TO the best that they could know,
Pointed the way for US to go.
The dead have sung the songs we sing,
Have loved these roses and the dew
And smiled beneath our skies of blue,
Seen the swift swallows on the wing,
And hoped as we are hoping here,
Toilcd at their tasks from year to year
That we who were to come to birth
Should find a kindlicr richer earth.
We are the living now, and yet
Soon we must go to join the vast
Uncounted army of the past
On whom the sun of life has set.
And like our dead, whose young we
are,
Our influence shall travel far
Behind us countless ages stay,
To learn from US the better way.

Outdoor Church Services.

To the lavrnan il will seem unusual for

hs fellow rectors against participation in
nt~rdenominational services held in the
viesnitv of his church. The case in point
10 the outdoor religious meetings held by
the churches Of different denominations
wurrhipping together on Sunday evening
under the trees of Washington Park, in
the Ninth Iord. In a letter to other
Protestant Episcopal elergymen of the
city Or. Alban Richev, rector of st. Johns
Church, requests the former not to par
ticipate in the outdoor services referred
20. and 20 instruct their respective con-
grcgations 20 not lend their aid 10 support
them. DIR. Richey regards these services
Ar an Intrusion and an invasion of his

PRESS COMMENTS.
THE VOLCANO AT OUR DOORS.

Disaster assumes many forms these
days, but that nt East Brooklyn, Wag-
ner's Point, is more or less OF n novelty
for Baltimore, and all the more terrlfy-
ing on that account OF course, people
who live close to 100 huge oil tanks
and great refining plant know what
may happen. But so do those who live
near Mount Vesuvius. And in one case,
as in the other familiarity breeds indif-
ference, If not contempt. In point OF fact,
volcanoes would seem much safer neigh
bors than regiment of gigantic oil reser-
voirs, and when the latter go on strike
man is about as helpless in their presence
as in the face of mountain vomiting hre
and lava. The danger from domesti-
Gated fire under these conditions Is OBJ
vious, but it seems a little hard that
when that has been guarded against,
nature should step in and lend assistance
to calamity with lightning.
As matter of business all possible
precautions, it is to he assumed, are
adopted against confiagrations where so
much infammable stuff is housed at one
place. That they are not sufficient to
protect it from the menace of the clouds
is shown by Mondays alarming and de-
structive occurrences. Perhaps inven-
tive genius will find way to battle even
these raiders from the sky.
One thing for which We can be thank
full is that, in spite of the formidable and
unusual character of the peril, there was
no loss of life. In second happening
of the same sort there might not be the
same good luck Every effort, therefore,
should be made TO reduce TO a minimum
all the grim possibilities that may be
inherent in such tuation.-Baltimore

LAROR MORE PRODUCTIVE.

The Merchants Association publishes
interesting correspondence from manu-
factIrcrs regarding the efficiency OF labor.
That wages have been increased, hours
shortened and working conditions largely
improved all know and approve. lhe
disheartening aspect has been cutting
down of production. At last there are
signs that labor senses an alteration IN
ublc sentiment which II would be pru-
dent TO check.
The body of evidence from forty-nine
employers is not great enough TO be con-
elusive generally, but its publication Is
useful. Nothing need be quoted regarding
the earlier decrease Of efficiency. Ii Is
only the increase of efficiency that Is new.
The jewelry, automobile and candy trades
negative the idea that hbor's better
conduct Is due to its being conscience
stricken. The explanation they give Is
rather thst a certain slackness OF employ
nent is convincing labor that It's lndli-
ferent attitude cannot continue. Other
manufacturers saw that labor is working
better and that employers have better
choice OF workers. One manufacturer
reports improvement following change
from closed to open shop, and another
from the change 10 piece work from the
wage system. Some go so far as to put the
betterinent in output at 30 to 40 per cent.
Only three employers report a contlnu-
ance of the old conditions of lnefhciency
This is in accord with experience that
strikes succeed better in times of rising
prices and profits, enabling employers to
shift the cost of labor to consumers. That
they have succeeded in doing so in recent
wears is clear from labor's outcry against
the rise in the cost of living, which is only
the cost of production come home to
roost. Experience also teaches that
strikes are fewer in proportion that they
are resisted when they are unreasonable
