No Foreign Country Has Special Priv.

To THE New YORK HERALD: The
times are indeed diseased. Mischievous
elements of all lands combine In their
mercenary ambitions for revenge and
notoriety, Recent events betray the fact
that faction among us has caught the
contagion, translated into acts.
We had the Capitol Theatre rowdy-
ism. and later the holiday spectacle of
representative city club forced to make
resistance against a wanton attack upon
its property and prerogative. No ma
ton has good enough grievance to ex-
pect our cooperation when that is in
consistent with fundamental rights No
European country has a monopoly OF
privilege within our boundaries: and
each foreign nation must respect the
adopted rights of the other or arouse
antagonism frcm the followers of law
and order.
To critical American eyes the man.
dates transferred from Cork and Dublin
to our cities will be found nugatory

SUNDAY BLUE LAWS.
An American Characteristic Made
Plain ut the Last Election.

To THE NEW YORK HERALD: There
has been a great deal of discussion in
the last few days about the blue Sun
day which is proposed by the Lords
Day Alliance. The idea that people who
seek wholesome recreation on Sunday
are ipso facto irreverent is scarcely in
keeping with the modern doctrines of
efficiency and common sense living.
Every American knows the response
of the Thirteen Colonies to the British
in the Revolution. Every thinking per-
son recognizes the underlying meaning
Of the last election--that the American
nation will not take dictation from any
one man. Now the Alliance is attempt
ing the same thing, and 1t. too, must be
shown the error of its ways.
If you tell small boy that he may
cut the lawn on condition that he be-
haves well, the grass will be kept In
more OF less we'll trimmed condition.
Tell him that he has to do II and the
result will be a Versailles conference
between dad and son, probably In the
woodshed. The Alliance Is telling the
people that they must cut the lawns of
their religion. and the people will doubt
less reply that they are perfectly capa-
bic of doing 1t when and how they
please SHERWOOD JOHNSTON.

MURDERS IN NEW YORK.
Amazement Caused Out of Town by n
Simple Statement of Facts.

To THE NEW YORK HERALD: The state
ment appearing on page of the second
news section of THE NEW York HERALD
in but twenty-eight lines Is perhaps the
most appalling arraignment or criminal
conditions which ever was presented in
a single paragraph to a civilized reader
Leaving out the minor illusions to
footpads, bandits, safe blowers, innumer-
able holdups burglaries and other law
less actions. the factstated. that in New
York city "forty-one murders occurred
between October and November 21.
and in none OF them have the murderers
been apprehended," leaves the mind OF
a law abiding provincial community
breathless dazed and aghast with the
thought whether II would be safe for
member thereof to visit the great
American metropolis. and with the in
quiry whether the latter is enjoying a
regime of civilization or barbarism.

come murderers. and for murderers such

ETHICAL GAS MEN.
Their Consciences Won't Let One OF
Them Do Another Mans Work.

To THE NEW York HERALD: Here is
one reason why the gas companies feel
the need to increase their rates.
The pilot light on our kitchen range
outlived it's usefulness and the company
mt repair man up to put on a new
one. He did not do the best kind of job
an it became necessary to request the
company to have 1t readjusted.
A gas man came few mornings later
but when he had inspected the work he
declared that the pilot light man would
have to do it he admitted that he could
rsnair 1t easily enough. but 1t wasn't
his work. He spent ten minutes trying
to justify his position.
Before he left the kitchen his atten-
tion was called to the fact that one OF
the cocks on the upper part of the range
was leaking and needed repairing He
was impressed with the fact that as
long as he was there and had the neces-
sary tools with him he could stop the
leak in a few minutes.
After calmly admitting that the Job
he was asked to do was one of the easiest
on the whole range. he said that this
was not his work and he would have
to report the leak to the office when
he got back, with the request that an
other man. one who is paid to do this
kind of work, be sent up.
Summed up/in few words 1t meant
that three men were required to do the
work that one could do without over
exerting himself 1t may be that the
but. whatever it is they have. 1t may
make US stop and ponder and incident
ally stop complaining because we are
paying more for gas. It's wonder we
get any service at all under such con-
ditions. ENLIGHTENED.

THE FIFTH AVENUE RIOT.
A New England Opinion OF the Sig
niflcance of the Disturbance.

To THE NEW YORK HERALD: wish To
express my appreciation of your edito-
rial article on the Thanksgiving Day
riot. l was fearing that no New York
paper would dare to speak of that event
In the way in which it ought to be met.
A few more demonstrations like that
of Thanksgiving Day on the part of the
strong Irish element will prove to Amer
leans that we have our Irish problem
as we'll as England.
There are enough of the right kind OF
citizens in the country to put stop to
un-Amerlcan tendency. but the hyphen-
ates will carry their point as long as the
people who have a good philosophy OF
life stay ununited. Our civilization is
threatened by minority that is strong
and dangerous.

Out of the 6,131 physicians In New
York State who this year have Fed
eral permits to prescribe alcoholic
liquors for medicinal purposes only
DS5, or fewer than one-sixth. have ap-
piled for similar privileges In 1921.
This decrease in the number OF doc
tors seeking this authority is princi-
pally significant, in our opinion, of
growing recognition among, medical
men OF the practical uselessness of
alcohol as medicine.
Within the score Of years immedi.
ately preceding the adoption OF the
prohibition Amendment the antl-drink
crusade was notable for two things,>
One of these was the revolution OF
feeling among out Of doors men-pros-
pectors, explorers. woodsmen, trap.
storatives and stlmulants during and
after severe physical exertlon. Where
MS In the past q flask of cognac or Of
whiskey had been considered an essen
tial part Of every outiit, 1t came to be
acknowledged generally that spirits
not only did not produce beneficial
results but were actually lnlmical to
the attainment Of efficiency In physi-
cal effort.
The other pre-prohibition triumph
of the total abstinence cause was the
movement of the medical profession
generally to abandon liquors in the
treatment Of disease. Nowhere is this
better shown than In the great hospi-
tails of large cities, In which II will
be found that for years before 1919,

D'Annunz'O Missing Chance tC
Prove His Patriotism.


. After several days of silence fol-
lowing the acceptance of the Treaty
Of Rapallo by Italy and Jugo-Slayia
D'ANNUNzIo breaks out with what
he styles a declara ton of war agains;
Italy to become effective to-day. Ills
intense patriotic zeal for the good Of
his country, he says, prevents him
from turning over Fiume TO be dis
posed Of according to the terms Of the
appropriated command of that city
which he has now held for more thin
a year.
He has evidently been making prcp-
arations for this move. His men
more than week ago occupied Cas-
tua, which was assigned to Jugo-
Slavia by the treaty, and also Veglia
and Arbe, two islands at the entrance
to the Bay of Fiume, while buc-
cancer expedition undertaken by his
troops landed at Sebenico and at
tempted to take possession Of other
Dalmatian ports. D'ANNUNZIo has
rejected all efforts at compromise pro-
posed by General CAvIGLIA, the COM
mander of the Italian forces sent to
compel his withdrawal. The Italian
Government has announced It's inten-
tion "of using energetic measures to
enforce the conditions of the Treaty
of Rapallo without delay" AS Ita..an
soldiers have invested the boundaries
OF the Free State of Fiume and the
navy has established a blockade OF
the harbor 1t would appear to be
only a question of time when DAN.
NUNzIo and his regency will be forced
to yield.
His present revolt against the Gov.
ernment Is not likely to raise DAN.
NUNzIo In italian favor. The people
very generally accepted the Treaty OF
Rapallo as satisfactory settle
ment, and they were glad to see the
end of the troublesome controversy
The Secolo. which sustained him In
some of his exploits, says: Enough
of adventures For The honor ol
Italy they must not. they shall not
prevail" Declaring that D'ANNUNzIC
roes beyond all limits, the paper say:
that the world will think "either that
we are country in dissolution OF
that we are base trlcksters, who Offer
friendship with one hand while with
the other one hold n revolver" An
other OF his former supporters among
the italian papers makes strong ap
peal to his patriotism and to his van
ity by promising him triumph
through Italy II he will leave Fiume.
For the renunciatlon Of Fiumt
D'ANNuNzIo would have a precedent
as well as a fine example of patriot
ism In the course taken by GARrBALDl
when he was recalled In 1866 from
the Trentino. His II obey" became
historic utterance. for It meant the
complete and unconditional surrender
OF this long contested mountain land
10 Austria. D'ANNuNZro. In fact. ha.
in the present situation the besI
chance of his career to prove his pa
triotlsm and his vaunted love OF Italy
by obeying the orders OF the italian
Government and getting out OF FlumC
without causing any more useless
