PALESTINE TO HAVE
 OWN POSTAGE STAMP
By Associated Prcss

London, May 15.-Palestine is now the only nation which has no postage stamp of its own. But representatives of the Zionist government here have informed London phuatelsts that this anomaly promises soon to be rectified, for with the establishment of Palestine as the national home of the Jewish nation, it is believed little time will be lost in emulating the examples of other small nations called into being by mandates ot the peace conference by the issuance Of distinctive stamps
 Pending the preparation of definite de signs stamps sold by British army post effces ia adjacent former enemy terri- tory are being utilized by overprinting with the word Palestine"

This is due to the failure of the peasants to enter service in the provinces, where the conservatives looked for heavy enroll ment to offset the industrial centers Many of the provinces failing to raise their quota, natives of the defaulting provinces residing in the cities were en- listed and sent to their home states.

Francisco platform we'll know, the
kind Of separate peace Senator
Lodge condemned was not the kind
Of separate peace Of the Knox reso-
luton. That which Senator Lodge
condemned in June, 1918, was a
separate peace with Germany which
implied betrayal and abandonment
Of our allies when in the stress of
war. What he said had nothing to
do with making a separate settle
ment with Germany after hostilities
were over and after our allies had
themselves concluded peace with
Germany and entered into diplo-
matte and trade relations with her.
The mere correction Of the date
will thus not correct. The charge
will stand that Senator Lodge, by
voting for the Knox resolution eigh-
teen months after the signing Of
the armistice and after our allies
were at peace with Germany, stulti-
fled himself and merited obloquy.

The Eighth Wonder

While diplomats debated in En-
rope upon the fate of nations and
here two candidates and two great
parties struggled for the Presidency
of the United States, and elsewhere
and otherwise the world pursued the
dull and routine details Of its prosaic
existence, history, raw, epoch-mak-
ing history, was being made at our
most historic Of all local spots, the
Polo Grounds. In brief, Babe Ruth
whaled another ball into the here
after and notched his thirtieth home
run upon his mighty bat. And as
if this were not enough, he cut his
thirty-frst alongside a few innings
later
If here is not the eighth wonder
of the world a great many excellent
and knowing rooters of great game
are sadly mjscalculating. After all,
the Colossus of Rhodes but bestrode
a city; the pyramids Of Egypt never
commanded the eyes of hundred
millions, and who would mention in
the same breath with thirty-one
home runs such trivialities as the
walls of Babylon, hanging gardens
and mere mausoleum?
What can America do to express
its respectful affection for this
greatest of heroes? An epic is indi-
Gated, but Homer-the coincidence
Of the name is surely not without
it's hints always hard to find.
Perhaps Mr.. John Masefeld will
oblige. A Colossus bestriding the
Brooklyn Bridge or the Hudson
would be in scale with the emotions
Of the faithful, but the pose could
hardly be lifelike.' Perhaps the best
thing to do is to wait and see. The
greatest heroes create their own
monuments as a matter of inevitable
consequence flowing from their
deeds. Babe may yet knock a ball
beyond the pull of gravitation and
set whirling the nucleus of a new
planet for our solar system.

A Democrat Who Voted for
Hughes

To the Editor of The Tribune.
Sir: AS a Democrat who left his party
to vote for Hughes in 1916, l had hoped
to remain in the Republican party
which was the faith of my father but
the Chicago convention, in the nomina-
ton of Harding, completely upset my de-
sire to help register the will of the
bosses against the wishes of the party,
who wanted Leonard Wood.
From the moment of Harding's nomi-
nation the party of Lincoln has been
on the defensive. No man was more
offensive than Harding in his abuse of
Roosevelt and his ideals, which makes
his eagerness to placate those who
loved Roosevelt as Objectionable as
his former abuse.
AS the writer sees it, at the Chicago
convention the bosses steam-rollered the
people, and the outcome was Harding.
At San Francisco the people steam roll
Tered Wilson, and the outcome was Cox.
who, as Governor. of Ohio, has shown
himself an aggressive, progressive type
of manly man.

cause of woman's suffrage, but I can
not see that the militants have ever
turthered the cause in any way by
their radical actions. Then, too, be-
lieve In giving credit where credit is
due-namely, to the twenty-nine states
that, through the Republican party
have ratified the Federal amendment

out the other twenty-nine.
1t is rather good plan to be CRATE
ful for blessings already received, SO
that we shall then be ready for other
blessings. l herewith extend thanks
to the Republican party that has made
it possible for so many women to cast
their vote at the next election for
Messrs. Harding and Coolidge.

The German Fact
Who Can Forgive or Forget Until
Scales of Justice Are Balanced9

Who Can Forgive or Forget Until
Scales of Justice Are Balanced7
To the Editor Of The Tribune.
Sir: Ten thousand times ten thousand
thanks for yesterdays leader, "The
German Fact" and Darling's accom-
panying, ooh, Dry Those Tearsl" We
need more of that sort of thing More
strength to your elbows when you rap
the knuckles of those Christians CO
who, folding pious hands, placidly OBJ
serve, "The war is over-let US forgive
and forget"
America, scarce touched by war, frds
1T easy to forgive and forget. But shall
we then forgive the death or mutlation
of millions of men? Shall we forgive
the tables in the marketplace of Liege :?
Shall we condone theft, deliberate and
malicious, and encourage the thief in
his greedy desire to keep from those who
fought the good fight the wherewithal Of
life? Shall we forgive the unrepentant
criminal who clearly proves his desire
to follow his old path?
Forget! Who wants to forget the
glory Of Belgium, the indomitable cour-
age that backed the slogan of "They
Shall Not Pass!" the heroism of the
Zeebrugge raid? Who can forget that
the poppies Of Flanders blow because Of
one nations hideous lust for power? 1t
is moro than amazing that any human
being can sit complacently BY encourag-
ing Germany to violate her pledge-not
for the first time-to build up her in
dustries and army for another on
slaught, to cause again a succession of
little wars after the horror of the
greater war.
When the scales of justice balance
as evenly as human hands can make
them, then, and not one moment before,
is the time to forgive and forget, if one
wishes so to do, We cannot give Ger
many what she gave US, for our self
respect forbids such degradation; but
we can exact the return of stolen goods
and the payment Of the promised in
demnity. AS you observed in "The Ger
man Fact" If released from these obli-
cations, Germany will feel encouraged
to try to realize her objective by an
other war
Let us have peace, II the League Of
Nations will permit, and let us have it
not by complacently allowing greedy
Germany to swallow her spoils, and so
give some future generation chance
to taste the horrors that Belgium and
France know so we'll, but by exerting
every ounce of our strength in the cause
of justice. JAMES P. BENNINGTON,

Travelling at Home
Objects of Beauty and Interest Tha!

To the Editor of Tho Tribune.

To the Editor of Tho Tribune.
Sir: People often say: II would love
to travel" or II wish could afford to
travel" 1t has come to me that IL
some Of these folks would avail them
selves Of few Of these glorious sum-
mer days, take 4 map of their own
state before them and save few Of
the dollars that 60 into the movies,
for instance, they would realize that
they do not have to 60 very far from
the City Of New York to SEQ beauties
that are equal to any in other places.
am not o New Yorker and have
travelled some through tho United
States. The past week had occasion
to take q short trip, and chose the
Hudson River and up into tho Catskill
Mountains. Arriving ut Kingston, N.
Y, I found 80 much Of historical in
terest that I cannot help sharing it
with Tribune readers.
As many Of you know, Kingston Is
the Oldest city in New York State.
It was there, at Senate House, that
the Constitution Of the State Of New
York was signed, and where, on July
80, 1777, the first Governor, George
Clinton. was inaugurated. The old
house still stands, filled with relics,
the pride Of Kingston. The charming
lady in charge Of the house will tell
you Of numerous other places that you
must see while in Kingston.
Then take a ride through the noun
tains, along the great Ashokan Reser-
voir, the marvellous piece of work that
supplies the City Of New York with
water. 1t is forty-four miles in cir
conference. At the plant itself Is q
spectacle that is worth travelling thou
sands of miles to see, hundreds of
"geysers" throwing the water to a
height Of eighty feet, against a back
ground of woods and mountains. One
could linger long-it is a thing of
marvellous beauty.
Then on through the forests of the
Catskills and Phenicia, right in the
heart of the mountains, whero there
are peace and beauty. And beyond
Phenicia, more mountains and more
beauty.
Now, why mourn because we cannot
travel and "see the world"? I And
that New Workers know their own city,
not to mention state, less than people
who come from all parts Of the coun-
try. Why, many young people who
have lived here all their lives have
never been to Bronx Park, have never
been inside the Metropolitan Museum
or the Museum Of National History!
The trouble is that we are ALWAYS
wanting things too far away and not
taking that which is within our reach.
Ny advice, then, is: Look for beauti-
full things and you can't help finding
them right at home. D.J.H.

A Correction That Does Not
Correct

The announcement is made that
the revised draft of the San Fran
cisco platform will rectify the false
date given to the quotation from
Senator Lodge. 1t is acknowledged
that the paragraph quoted appeared
IN June, 1918, while the war was
IN progress, and not, as the platform
says, in December, 1918, after the
armistice.
The correction of the date is all
right as far as it goes, but it does
not go very far in apologizing for q
glaring misrepresentation 1t will

After-the-E.vent Wisdom

Perley Parker Christensen, former
I. W. W. lawyer, now Presidential
candidate of the Farmer-Labor
party, was a member Of the original
Committee of Forty eight third
party convention. He landed some
thing, although the Forty -eight
gathering went on the rocks.
He now denounces the Forty
eight leaders who won't support him
as coupon clipping intellectuals"
and "pink tea uplifters." His quar-
rel with them is that they had in
telligence enough to realize what had
happened to them when the Labor
Farmer convention opened the back
door and waved them out.
Mr.. Amos Pinchot says that the
Forty-eighters failed because their
ranks were infiltrated by "well-
meaning mushheads." Those mush-
heads, it appears, were captured by
the union labor extremists, who
meant all along to turn the third
party into an exclusive class organ
ization. Looking back at the ludi-
crous attempt at Chicago to create
third party out of various imprac-
| teal groups of "liberals' and fad
dlsts and some very practical near
Bolshevists, who don't want to sub
nit to the discipline either Of the
Socialist party or the American Fed
Grafton of Labor, both Mr.. Pinchot
and Mr.. Christensen exchange cpl
thets with some show of justifca
! ton.
The third party project was fan
tastlc. There were tied up in it, as the
frozen-out intellectuals sadly admit,
''the cat and the dog, the monkey
and the parrot, the lamb and the
hon. No group which has any posi-
tive. ideas was willing to subordi-
nate them to the cause of unification.
No American third party can be a
class party. Nor can any vital
third party emerge in this country
unless there is an enormous mass
pressure behind it. If thousand
delegates can only agree to disagree,
what cement can hold together four
or five millions of voters looking to
them for leadership?
The third party experiment was
educative, at all events.

Sha1nrock's Troubles

Every American will regret great
ly the unfortunate difficulties in
which Sir Thomas Upton finds him
self in respect to the command of
Shamrock Nv. There should be lit
tie desire to obtrude with advice or
form hasty conclusions as to his best
course. It is no easy problem to
shift shippers in the midst of cup
series, and it may well be that his
best chance is to stand by Mr..
Burton.
1t is not an easy matter to appor-
ton blame for all the faulty han
ding that Shamrock ~ has unmis-
takably had. If the rumors Of dis
agreement upon the afterdeck and
of discomfort among the crew are
true, much is already explained.
Sailing a great yacht to get the last
knot of speed out of her throughout
an afternoon of shifting winds and
altering courses requires a coordi-
nation of command and a teamwork
by crew of the highest quality. Reso-
lutte shows exactly this sort of han
ding and Americans can congratu-
late themselves on this factor Of sea-
manship, in which the American
craft has clear advantage. It is
an extraordinary triumph for the
American yachtsmen that this per-
feet handling comes from an anna
teur skipper, bred and trained in
that small boat tradition which gives
American yachting the great vitality
which it possesses.
Whatever decision Sir Thomas
reaches during the remaining races,
it is to be hoped that both weather
and handling will enable Shamrock
" to show her best footing.

turous small-boat yachtsman bob
bing around off Scotland Lightship
in his family yawl cocks an eye at
the towering kites Of the giant racers

There are, Of course, unhappy, dis
contented Sons Of Martha-and
daughters, too. Yet most of this self
pity is simply that Of foolish, mis-
cast human beings. The really good
cook loves her pots and pans, for
example, and the browning biscuit
and all the clean shininesses Of q
well-run kitchen. When we were
children we saw these things more
sensibly. Nothing seemed as de-
licious as the smell of blacksmith
shop or more to be envied than that
fiery, ringing job at the anvil. 1t il
only when conventions grip US that
we switch to stock brokering and
lawyering and all the other toplofty
chores Of the mind that hold no more
tang or zest or fun than the minutes
Of directors meeting.
About the only way to keep ones
senses alive to the facts and, being
Son of Mary, none the less share
some of the joys Of the Sons of
Martha, is to devote every possible
spare hour to living with things.
Golf is pathetic effort of the Sons
of Mary to steal back something of
that contact with the earth which
they have lost. Fishing, sailing
hunting-all the playtime Of man in
this modern world of ideas is spent
in trying to get back to things
shining niblicks, supple, cunning
rods, bit Of lead for the heart Of a
deer, white sails for a blue sea as
old as the Argonauts.
