ABANDONED Boys
MOTHER IS Found
Morristown Sun

The little boy found in the
Court House park early on
Wednesday morning of last week,
proved to be the offspring of a
Miss Lowell of near White Pine,
who recently located here.
Miss Lowell and her 'compan-
ion, George Hixon, to whom she
claimed to be married, were ar.
rested on Thursday in connection
with the case, given hearing
before Justice of the Peace and
committed to Jail in default of
a bond of 81 900 each, which was
given later, and they were re-
leased. The woman broke down
in her testifying and confessed
that she was the mother of, and
had carried the child to the place
where it was found on that
morning. The boy is a bright
little fellow and is still being
tenderly cared for at the home
of Mr.. and Mrs. J. B. Neill.

ditor of The Tribune.

To the Editor of The Tribune
Sir: was much interested in the
discussion in your columns by Ben
Miller of your editorial of January 25,
"Who Reads Poetry?' Many people;
more, no doubt, then ever before, or
there would not be so many writing
IT, or so many magazines and pub.
hshlng houses printing it. But l was
surprised that Mr.. Miller gave so
limited list of present day poets.
Does he not read the more sustained
work of Edwin Arlington Robinson,
such as captain Craig" Merlin" and
"Lancelot"? Has he not heard of the
tremendously fine work of George Ster-
ling, one Of the best craftsmen of them
all? Or of the two epics of John Mel
hardt, Hugh Glass" and Three
Friends" whereby whole lost age dec

New-York tribune., 1920-06-29

Cox's aloofness from party manage
ment in Washington is his chief
asset. Vice President Marshall ap-
peals to the deeper instincts Of
many delegates because he sides on
the treaty issue not with the Presi-
dent, but with the Democratic
Senators.
The conventions problem is to
be pro-Administration without an
tagonizing possible Democratic vot-
ers who are anti-Administration.
Normal party loyalty conflicts with
obvious party strategy. Two
bundles of hay are offered to the
donkey. He is afraid to eat one
and leave the other. The chances
are, therefore, that he will try to
eat both.

The SIesvig Settlement

1t is commonly supposed, on this
side of the Atlantic at least, that
the successive plebiscites in the two
Slesvig zones have settled definitely
the boundary arrangement between
Denmark and Germany, and that
North Slesvig, with the cities of
Haderslev, Aabenraa, Tondern and
Sonderborg, will be automatically
joined to Denmark, while Middle
Slesvig, with Flensborg, will be re-
awarded to Germany.
This, however, is not so. The
treaty reads that the Allies shall
determine the new frontier ac
cording to the outcome Of the vote,
but taking into account the particu-
lar geographical and economic condi
tions of the localities in quoestion." +"
This clause is now invoked by the
Danish minority Of Middle Slesvig,
who argue that the particular geo
graphical and economic conditions"
of their territory requires their re-
annexation to Denmark.
Under the treaty the hAllies un-
New-York tribune., 1920-06-29

doubtedly possess the right to revise
the decision by popular vote In ac-
cordance with the plea Of the Mid
die Slesvig Danes. The question is
whether the Allies will avail them
selves of this right without formal
request on the part of the Danish
government. The plebiscite arrange
ment was originally adopted on the
suggestion of the Zahle administra-
ton.
But, though the Zahle govern
ment was eliminated in con-
fict precipitated by the Flensborg
question, in the subsequent elections
that question was showed into the
background by other issues, and the
outcome of the struggle leaves
Zahle's successor in a rather vague
ly defined position as regards Flens-
borg.
All things considered, the situa-
ton of the Danish minority in Mid
die Slesvig is not an enviable one
if they should ultimately be handed
back to Germany. The treaty con-
tains guarantees Of their national
rights; but so did the treaty of 1866.
The Germans showed an ugly mood
in the electioneering campaign pre-
ceding the plebiscite, and the terror
lied Danes have good reason to fear
the return of the old oppression,
hardened by vengeance. They now
propose as an alternative to restora-
ton to Denmark by Allied decree
that they at least be permitted tc
organize into a neutralized free
state under the League of Nations

Russia's War Losses

Colonel Shumsky-Solomonov the
well-known Russian military critic,
has recently published an interest
ing pamphlet, entitled Russia s
Part in the War" 1t gives what is
perhaps the first dependable esti-
mate Of Russia's war losses-the
losses, that is, up to the signing Of
the Treaty of Brest-Litovsk.
Colonel Shumsky-Solomonv puts
the Russian casualties at not fewer
than 100000, Of which 1900, 900
were in killed. That is much
larger figure for killed than most
Allied calculators have accepted.
The statistical branch Of the Cen
eral Staff Of the United States Army,
In a statement made on May 81,
1919, put the Russian battle deaths
at 100000. This, total includes

Protest uia Debs
But Just What Good VIII Socialist
Votes Accomplish2
To the Editor of The Tribune.

To the Editor of The Tribune.
Sir: Your several editorials on
the recent political happenings were
read by the writer with considerable
interest. 1t was no doubt very painful
for you to have to compose these and
to apologize for the nomination Of
Harding as candidate for President In
1872, 1916 and again in 1920 the Re-
publican bosses ruled contrary to the
wishes Of the people; yet, admitting
this, you advocate supporting the
ticket.
You seem to forget that there is a
third way to protest against the con-
tinuance of such methods. one to-day
does not have to vote or either the
Democratic or Republican ticket. The
writer, for one, Will vote for Eugene
Debs, in spite of the fact that the
Jealous Palmer has him in prison. 1t
is to laugh to think that Debs is in
prison when men like Bryan, Wilson,
Baker and the rest Of this crowd Of
pacifists, which is responsible for the
deaths Of thousands of soldiers, due to
the unpreparedness of the United
States when the war broke out, and
the needless sacrifice of thousands OF
Englishmcn, Frenchmen, etc, are held
III high respect by the white ribbon
ladies and white livered men Of the
country.
Protest in the shape of 100000 or
100000 Socialist votes this year will
show the two dominant parties Of this
country the temper Of the people !
hope they have some temper let
Further, such a vote viii convince the
profteers in clothing its necessary m

In view of the fact that you have
agreed to support Harding, I sAall

editorials from now until Election Day

The New Cup Defender

The graceful and slippery Vanitie
gained many admirers in her last
races, yet there is probably no one
who will not agree that the Cup
Committee chose inevitably and
wisely in preferring the Resolute for
our American representative. The
improvement this season in the Gard
ner yacht has been extraordinary.
Under a skillful skipper she has
rounded into form that proves her
the equal Of the Resolute on almost
every kind of sailing and in almost
every weather. The one exception,
however, is serious one, consider
ing the Sandy Hook course. In
ghosting-the ability to keep moving
in the faintest of airs-the Resolute
showed distinct superiority. And
the record shows that the cup races
are overwhelmingly light weather
contests. Add this factor to the
point that the Resolute crew is the
better organized and trained, and the
decision becomes beyond debate.
The Vanitie's excellent showing is,
however, source of profound re-
joicing for yachtsmen. Too long,
having regard for the future of the
sport, has the name of Herreshoff
ruled alone in the big yacht class.
In designing the Vanitie William
Gardner placed himself practically
on level with the best that Bristol
can show. Undoubtedly the reduc-
ton in the size of the cup yachts
from 80 to rs feet has aided in this
development. Henceforward there
is likely to be keener and keener
competition in the selection of a cup
defender.
incidentally, the yachting public
would welcome later series of
races between Vanitie and Resolute
after the cup races are over. As
matters stand now practically deac
heat exists. A series of races, ir
which every last effort would bt
) made and every risk taken, woule
produce sport second only to the
Sandy Hook duel in interest ane
thrill.
New-York tribune., 1920-06-29
Afraid of Wisconsin

Nearly all the dispatches from
San Francisco reflect the prevailing
disunity and instability of opinion
there. Most of the delegates are of
two minds. They talk about the ad-
visibility of saying something clear
cut and definite. But nearly every
group shrinks from the consequences
of too clear and specific declara-
ton about anything.
The main obstacle is the fact that
the convention is not a free agent
and knows that it is not. 1t is
operating under political mortmain.
The Democratic party has been in
power for eight years. 1t is tied
up with the record of the Wilson
Administration. Most of the dele
gates are officeholders or Of the
otticeholding class. The party has
but one leader and could hardly free
itself from his domination even if
it wanted to do so.
Were the party really proud Of
the results of Mr.. Wilson's leader
ship and eager to gamble on them for
another election it's task would be as
easy now as it was at St. Louis in
1916. 1t would ask for vote of
confidence in Wisconsin, But the
striking thing at San Francisco is
the universal hesitation to go the
whole road with Wilson.
Take the treaty issue. The sim
plest solution would be to indorse
the President unqualifiedly by de-
claring for ratification without res.
ervations. That is what he wants
and what his nearest spokesman
Secretary Colby, advocates. Yet a
majority Of Democratic Senators
have supported reservations. There
is the powerful minority in the
party which would rather see the
treaty fail than see the Presidents
draft Of it adopted
With respect to candidates the
same unrest prevails. Mr.. Palmer
is held to be undesirable because ho
is Cabinet member and closely as
sociated with many phases of the
Administrations record. Mr.. Nc
Adoo Is SHE'D at because he is an
ex-member Of the Cabinet and the
Presidents son-in-law. Governor

The Return Of Clothes

One Of those welcome winks Of the
off eye that our serious world some
times INDUCES in doubtless accom-
panied the name of the gentleman Of
the United States Attorney Generals
office in charge of the campaign to
reduce prices, and therefore con-
cerned in the fashions Of dress for
name being Figg.
This Mr.. Figg does not adhere to
the Garden of Eden notions of pro-
priety. Rather, he chooses to live up
to his name and the principles which
obtained following the eating of the
Eden apple. When extreme models
of fall skirts were shown to him,
reaching only down to the knee or in
that region, he fled from the camera,
expressing his disapproval and as
serting that the government never,
never would approve the sacrifice of
womanly modesty, no matter what
saving in cloth was offered in ex-
change.
1t is not this end of woman's dress
that has received most of the atten-
ton from reformers. Not where
dresses stopped, but where they be-
gan (reading downward) has been
the concern Of our experts in morals.
President Hibben of Princeton in his
interesting interview in Sundays
Tribune had reference more to eve
ming froclls than other costuming,
and to their cut only as an incident
to the general intimacy of modern
dancing.
Everybody is fairly we'll agreed
that something will happen in this
interesting matter Of dress, for the
obvious reason that little further
progress can be made along the pres
ent lines-without complete change
in the climate, that is. The knee
length skirt is neither particularly
beautiful nor practical-any more
practical, that is, than the rainy day
skirts, now an accepted fair-weather
commonplace, only a decade or sc
back a shocking and immodest inno-
walton bewildering the Mr.. Figgs
and Dr.. Hibbens Of that era OF
change. We suspect that skirts vii
scarcely ascend beyond their present
sensible and graceful level. AS fol
decollete, have not already high col
lars made their appearance for stree
wear? Very likely evening gown:
will follow suit and our reformer:
will be happy. Whether morals will
be vastly improved is, however, no
at all certain-any more certain
than that they have gone so utterl!
to pieces as DR.. Hibbon asserts.

The Child Driver

Any one who handed fifteen
year-old girl a loaded revolver and
told her to wave it in crowd
would be regarded as viciously and
criminally reckless Of human life.
Yet parents will permit a boy or
girl to drive a motor car upon a
public highway and think nothing
of the fact that they are risking
lives right and left, and incidentally
violating state law designed to af-
ford protection to users Of the pub
lie streets.
The Sunday tragedy upon Pei
ham Parkway spent itself upon the
girl driver and her family. But the
peril was for every one within strik-
ing distance, and the lesson is for
every one owning car. An auto
mobile is not a simple toy that a
child can be trusted with. It's dp-
Grafton calls for muscle, judgment,
nerve and experience, which only
adults possess-and not all adults,
by any means. The danger to ones
own car and ones family involved
in permitting a child to drive is
great and immediate. The danger
to the public is even greater and
just as direct.
A wanton disregard of the law
and the rights of the public is in
volved in every case in which a boy
or girl is permitted to drive a motor
car

Making Work Interesting

To the Editor Of The Tribune.
Sir: Downtown in these days one
hears great deal about the unsatls-
factory employees in Offices. 1t seems
to me that part OF the trouble is due
to exactly the same thing that causes
a certain amount of labor trouble IL
factories and shops-the workers are
not interested in their work.
1t is very easy to say that this IS the
fault of the employees, and most en-
p,oyers take that view Of i. Howe's.'
ii is also true that a great many posi-
tions involve work OF the most moA0'0'
nous nature, and in which i IS lmp0s'

men who died of their wounds. So
there is discrepancy Of 100000
between our General Staff's estimate
and the latest Russian count.
The Russian General Staff struck
an average of 100000 a year as
the absolute loss Of the Russian
armies. That would make 100000
for the four years up to 1918.
About 2, 100000 Russians were taken
prisoners. Colonel Shumsky-Solo-
monov allows 100000 for discharges
of soldiers who recovered from their
wounds. Thus he deduces that at
least 100000 must have been killed.
Russia lost more than twice as
many rpen killed as France did and
more than three times as many as
Great Britain. She lost practically
as many in killed as all the other
Allied nations put together. The
reason for this was that in fighting
Germany Russia lavishly opposed
crude man power to modern war
material. General Gourko empha-
sized that fact in his admirable
book, "War and Revolution in Rus
sia." Brusiloff is also quoted by
Colonel Shumsky- y-Solomonov as ad-
hitting it.
The Russian soldier fought brave
ly and died unflinchingly. But he
was sacrificed to an unfortunate de-
ficiency in military material and
preparation. And the consciousness
Of the soldier and his commanders
that he was being sacrificed was one
of the prime causes of the easy sue
cess of the anti-Czarist revolution.
