Whatever may be the proper pol

tion of autonomy, arc about the only

deprive them Of protection would be
to subject them to grave risks of ag-
gression. Moreover, it would prob
ably relight the fires Of race hatred
among their many races, and each,
under the shibboleth of self-deter-
mination, would be led to fight for
the boundaries it claimed. The

The Crooked Press

The testimony OF Edward A.
}unely, recently in control of The
.vening Mail, cf this city, and now
N trial on charge ccntering in the
accusation that German money
inanced his newspaper venture, is
interesting 70 all Americans who
'egard free and clean press as
me Of the bulwarks Of republican
nstitutions.
Without seeking to PREJUDICE the
.esult Of his trial, It may be re-
marked hat Rumely, testifying in
lis own behalf says that negotia-
ions and the final agreement touch
ng The MaiFs transfer we're con-
iucted and reached in the office Of
Heinrich Albert, German fiscal
agent in this country. 1t was de-

nan sympathizer. An attorney rep
resenting him was selected to be on
rhe Mail compans's directorate.
But the defendant maintained that
It no time did Albert or the attor-
icy instruct him to present German
Jews Of war conditions.
Why Albert, a temporary resi-
lent, VINO came here on a special
mission, or Sie,cken, far away in
Germany, suddenly became inter
ssted in buying American news
paper properties may be left to the
Judgment Of the candid. But fea
-ure worthy Of special attention is
hat It was German agent that APP

newspaper ownership. Yet about
his time the charge was loudly

cents that British gold vas corrupt
.ng the press, thereby poisoning the
mind Of America. Ye1 the pro-Ally
press came through clean. 1t does
not appear that the Allies ever even
considered the possibility Of tricking

.ired.
Equally significant, as explaining
one Of the reasons Why the American
press Is decent, are figures from his

Licenses FOR Burglars

Those ingenious young burglars
who pedllc tickets to balls and such
like sociables ard rob your store or
house if you DO not bay are taking a
long step toward introducing eff
cheney into their art. Their pro-
cedure is in logical sequence to that
bve-and-let-iive policy which our
Police Department has Of late adopt
cd toward the hitherto hunted
classes.
But would not confusion be avoid
ed and the welfare Of the community
promoted if criminals were first of
all licensed? At present the fees
very properly a ked by the burglar
making mis- roun: is are paid without
organization to enforce rules, with
70 cards Of Identification and in q
very hit-or-miss fashion, from the
public's point of view. Too much is
left TO surmise, vague hints and that
personal honor OF thieves which,
while high, is 10 more infallible than
any other brand Of honor,
What we have in mind, if Mr.. En-
light approves, is to assemble the
so-called criminal classes in con
Vcntion, to have them organize like
my other trade or business and set
about placing Inc entire industry Of
crime on stcadS, law-abiding, divi-
dend-paylng lasis. Police Head
quarters could be turned over to the
organization for general Offices
looks would be kept and audited =;
the burglar would ring up his daily
levy on cash register every night,
end, for a nominal sum, life and
property in New York would be re-
stored to their former Security and
leacc.
1t may be objected that this svs-
tem would eliminate risk and ad-
venture from burglary and that its
practitioners would become unhappy
and restless. The answer to this is,
4 course, that risk to burglar
perating in New York to-day is
hardly enough to keep a healthy
man awake; no change could be for
'he worse in this respect. Perhaps
ioo' jobs might lie found for the
more ambitious members Of the
fraternity running down The Ell

The Deadly Snuff Box

Stern and unbending foes Of ar
tifcial exhilaration face new perils
in substitutes for alcohol which work
as much harm as alcohol itself, or
even more. Hcroln, for example, IS
deadlier than whiskey. But it comes
with a shock to learn that the ele-
ments Of intoxication reside in snuff.
At a recent dinner Of the Scots
Charitable Society in Boston it was
provided for the express purpose Of
cheering up the guests.
A speaker on this occasion told the
story Of the old Scotsman who
warned his son against the insidious
properties Of the potent powder.
Owe been drunken on sneezum," he
said, than l have ever been on
whuskey." 1t is difficult to under
stand how that could be; but pre-
sumably the anecdote, being Scotch,
is authentic. If SO, here is new mat
ter for the anti-tobacco agitators.
Are we to see an almost abandoned
vice revived?
"sir Plume, Of amber snuff box
justly vain," a conspicuous figure in
the eighteenth century, may thus be
come familiar so the twentieth. The
habit seems strangely out Of keeping
with modern manners, and antigua
rian enthusiasm alone would hardly
promote it. But lonely souls, pining
for what is not, resort to strange ex-
pedients.

When his attention was called to the
fact that a firm with which he was
formerly connected had been dump

excellent imitation Of the anger
which is Mr.. Hylan's favoritc mood
when asked questions he finds it in

been in New York City more than
$50 hold-ups, robbcrics and thcfts, in

Rising Irish Hope

The extreme wings Of the Sim
Fein extremists repudiate the recent
"neacc" message Of Father O'Flana-
gan to the British Prime Minister.
What is called the 'murder gang
prefers the anarchy Of internecine
warfare to any compromise settle
ment. It demands recognition OF
the secession principle, with abso-
Lutte independence, and power to
drive out of Ireland a million or
more people who fear their rule.
In the mean time the followers Of
these extremists continue to be the
victims of an exaggerated sense Of
historical retrospect. Many are back
in Cromweil's day, feeding their
spirits on memories of Drogheda.
Such reject, as having no bearing on
the question OF whether Ireland is

commonly understood, the admitted
fact that for SIX years the Irish peo-
pie have been the most prosperous
in the Eastern Hemisphere.

the While paying high prices for
produce sold by those who stayed
at home and made few sacrifices, are
not easily convinced that they have
fattened on ireland.
But, despite efforts to have the de-
struction go on, there are hopeful
signs. Michael Collins, who signs
himself as commander in chief Of the
Sim Fem army, writes Of the
grave danger that the country may
stampede on false promises" He
manifestly fears there may be peace
Moreover, the heads Of the Church
which includes q majority Of the
Irish people seem waking UP to the
idea that the Sim Fem, radical in
politics, is radical in other respects
is possessed of q Bolshevist spirit,
and that if the Sim Fem banner
goes up it may not be long before
the Church, offensive because a
cementing and constructive infu-
ence, will be assailcd by disinte-
orators.
Finally. American opinion, much
relied on by the Sim Fem, seems
rapidly perceiving what the new
hyphenism implies. Americans who
held on tbs battlefield that the at
mosphere Of a continent was net
wide enough to float two hostile flags
understand why the airs about the

not deemed sufficient to sustain two

A Three-Plane Navy

Previous to the World War
navies were practically confined to
one plane-thc surface of the sea.
The submarine and the airplane
were comparatively crude; the
dreadnought was supreme.
To-day navy must operate on
three planes-on the surface, under
the surface and above the surface
Of the sea. The surface ship is
now seriously threatened from
above and below. Despite Britain S
grand and overwhelming surface
fleet the German submarine came
within an ace of winning the war
by starving England. Admiral
Sims, Ambassador Page and Ad-
miral Jellicoe testified to this fact.
The modern naval officer must
have a thrcc-plane mind - not a
one-plane mindl He must give to
each Of these three naval forces its
proper value. He must solve the
problem Of their cooperation, stra-
logically and tactically. Future
naval warfare viii be complicated as
never before.
1t is manifest that the advocates
of the dreadnought. the submarine
and the air force must wisely con-
fer and effect compromise. They
must keep constantly before their
eyes a picture Of this thrce-plane
fleet advancing in ofense or dis
posed for defense. Naval officers
are facing an era demanding new
conceptions.
Moreover, it is evident that the
money available for the navy must
be judiciously divided and ex-
pended on these three planes. At
present our surface feet is com
paratively strong. Il is deficient
not in dreadnough.s, bat in auxn-
larry types, which should be supplied.
And the submarine feet is fast de-
veloping. while the air fleet is
sadly deficient.
Ii the last three years we have
spent $4,o00,000,000 or the navy.
This exceeds the total cost Of he
navy for the previous 1875 years Of
cur national existence The people
OF this country are staggering un.
der taxation. There is crying need
Of economy.
1t is not difficult to outline a pol
icy to meet the present situation.
The United States feet, now
divided, should be Immediately re-
united and reorganizcd INTO one Ct
fcient fighting force The Navy
Department itself should be reorgan-
lied. Finally the Navy Department
should cal! the Naval War College
and the General Board into confer.
ence to tackle the problem of a
three-plane navy and to consider
how best to expend the money that
Congress is prepared to appropriate
