Give Now to the United Hospitals.

More than $4,000 sick and injured
men, women and children unable tc
pay for the expert care and expensive
medicines their grievous plight re-
quired were treated as free patients
last year in the fifty-seven hospitals
among which the United Hospital
Fund annually distributes the money
entrusted to it by the people of New
York who recognize their obligation
to their fellow men.
These fifty-seven institutions COM
ply with rigid regulations laid down
by the United Hospital Fund for the
government of the purchase of sup
plies and the keeping of accounts.
The money which is allotted to each
hospital is spent under intelligent bus
mess direction. Every dollar given
to the United Hospital Fund pays for
one hundred cents worth of supplies,
medical attention and nursing for a
person greatly needing attention which
he or she could not get were it not
for this enlightened charity.
Every year the United Hospital
Fund appeals for aid to the people of
New York who can give their money
to cure the sick and heal the wounds
of the injured. In peace and in war,
in time of plenty and time of strln-
gency. its work must go on. SO this
fall it asks the 100000 residents of
New York to give $1,500,000 for the
free work of the hospitals next year.
Were the sum levied as head tax
1t would come to about 2712 cents
apiece for us, or between $1.35 and
$1.40 for a family of five. The sum
called for from each individual is
rldiculously small it not only will buy
pehce and health for great numbers
of our neighbors who are down on
their luck but it will assure to every
person in town the maintenance of
an efficient hospital system to care for
any victim Of disease or disaster. This
is n selfish consideration, but one
worth thinking about. The institu-
tlons supported by the United Hospi-
tai Fund care for victims Of street
and other accidents, to which all of
us are constantly exposed.
This Is a call which must be needed.
New York needs the fund. Its treas
urer is ALBERT III. WIGGIN, 81 Broad
way, and the New Yorker with sur
plus Of money who does not contribute
is remlss in his duty and neglectful
Of his opportunities.

A Real Test of Riches.

The latest returns on Americans
with an annual income Of million
dollars or more show that their num-
bers are falling. Where there were
IA in 1917 there were only 67 in
1918; and million was worth less in
1913 than 1t was In 1917.
A million a year, however, does not
sound as large as it used to. The
everyday mind always became numb
as it mounted into the zeros Besides,
after a period in which one Govern
ment agency wasted two thousand
millions in two years, billions" has
supplanted millions in the vocabu-
larry of those who talk and think of
big money.
Unfortunately, no official bureau is
able to supply the numbers, much less
the names, of the men who are gen
timely rich.
How many citizens can read the

How many can listen to CARUso
singing of the furtiye tear, and, with
equal relish, play a burst of jazz on

How many can spend an hour

Paying or the HohenzOlIerns.

A Berlin bank of which the GUS
toners were almost entirely members
of royal or noble families or Of the
landed gentry of Prussia was raided
few days ago by order of the Prus-
sian Government. The charge was made
that the whole activity Of the head Of
the bank, who fled at the time of the
raid, was directed to smuggling capt.
tai abroad for the Hohenzollerns and
princely and noble houses, many mill
ions of which are said to be gone
already" The books and documents
found were all seized, and the facts
revealed by an examination of these
as to the amounts Struggled out of
the country and the part taken by
the Hohenzollerns in these operations
are to be laid before the Reichstag by
former Chancellor HERMANN MULLER.
The purpose of the secret removal Of
the Hohenzolern fortune. 1t is as
serted, is to place it beyond the pos
sibility of seizure and the jurisdiction
Of German tax collectors.
The raid followed closely on the
official statement in the Prussian Ma
tiOnal Assembly that the Prussian
Government had paid the former Ger
man Emperor sfnce his flight to Hol-
land an amount in Dutch florins
which in normal times represents
about S3O,000O00. This fact was
brought out in the judicial investlga-
ton being made as to the value OF the
Hohenzollern estate and the amount
of compensation that should be paid
to the former Emperor as head Of the
house.
His fortune at the time OF the col
lection of the so-called Contribution
for Defence in 1914 was estimated at
$50 100000 and his income at $4,000
600. An inventory Of the Hohenzol-
lern estate then showed that 1t COM
prised about 100000 acres of land
and fifty-six castles and some valu-
able and productive real estate, which
included the farm at Cadlnen, ex-
tensive forest tracts and eighty-thrcc
villas and houses In Berlin, Potsdam,
Klel and other parts Of Germany.
Added TO this was the fortune in gold
and good Industrial bonds In strong
boxes and money on deposit in for
eign countries, notably in Holland.
The disposition of this property has
been under consideration by the Prus-
sian Assembly almost from the time
Of WILLIAMS abdicatlon. It was man
ifestly poor time to attempt to sell
the castles, the royal villas and the
art treasures SO plan was pre-

the world at that particular time.
This happily was not the case.
PEREGRGNE became a citizen of Marsh
field, where his stepfather also had
his estate. and the court gave him
200 acres of land Gin consideration
of his BIRTH" PEREeRrNE had started
something. Perhaps the local rulers
felt it in their bones that New Eng
land was going TO show the way to
the Western Hemisphere for centu-
ries to come.
The first genuine Yankee was a
handsome fellow and politician. No
such statesman, of course, as his
stepfather or his half brother, JOSIAH
WINsLow, but man fit for small
offices. The captious historians of
that day wrote it down that PERE-
CRIME was "extravagant." We would
wager a groat that he was no Ship
ping Board, but he may have sent a
shilling on its way without more than
an hours thought. The terrible first
winter Of the Puritans seems not 10
have impressed too much economy on
the infant. Even if he was ''extrava-
CANT in his youth, we have it from
the same critical historians that he
was much reformed in his later
years and died hopefully" Extrava-
gance and all, he lasted to the eco
nomical age of 81.
A first white child has been born
almost everywhere by now, except in
the air. PEREGRrNE WHITE was one
of the best of these famous early
arrivals

In the direct primary system and In
the practical abolition of the party
convention as the representative OF
the party's will as TO candidates and
its purposes as to policy.
81. II places a weapon IN the
hands OF the party voters which they
can use with effect in case of need.
"2. The fact OF this control gives
TO the voters a consciousness OF
power, TO which present direct pri-
mary methods have given RISE"
This seems TO be all that Mr..
HUGHES has to offer to counterbalance
the foregoing tremendous statement OF
structural defects. With due respect
TO him we must say that 1t strikes us
as an exiguous showing. 1t is the
oretical rather than practical, contin.
gent rather than present, iridescent
rather than dyed in the wool. The
real question would appear to be not
whether the direct primary, no con-
vention system places a weapon in the
hands of voters which they can use in
case of need but to what extent they
have been using it and are using it for
the public good during the period of
experiment and opportunity.
Yet slender as the stated advantages
may seem when matched against the
manifest defects and objections, they
are sufficient, in the sight Of Mr..
HUGHEs's very able and sincere I'M
Outstanding, TO lead him to pronounce
judgment against the restoration of
the old line party convention on the
ground that while it might work
we'll for a time it would, in the alb
sence of suitable checks, give oppor-
tunity for the wrongs and selfish con-
troll of party machinery which brought
the old convention into contempt. We
need not return TO such conditions.
All the advantages Of action through
representative bodies can be secured,
while at the same time control can be
assured to the party members so that
they will be fully conscious of their
power"
The weight of Judge HUGHEs's opin-
ion in any such matter and the ear
nestness of his advocacy give impor-
lance to what he now has to say. The
fact remains, however, that he is
pleading for a cause that is about to
undergo in this State the test of po-
lltical common sense, sharpened and
enlightened during most discourag-
ing period of ao+ual experience.

Softer than lambs and winter than the curds.
o Galatea, swan nymph of the sea!
Vain is my longing. worthless are my words
Why do you come in nights sweet dreams
And when wake. swift leave me. as in fear
The lambkin hastens when wolf Is near?
Why did my mother on dark-bright day
Bring you for hyacinths a-near my cave?

Peace left my soul when you knocked at my

Come, Galatea, never to depart!
Though ! am dark and homely to the sight
A Cyclops I, and stronger there are few

night,
And in the morn too, fawns feed for you.
And four young bears: rise from grots
Soft love and peace with me forever know!
Last night dreamed that I. n monster
Swan in the sea and saw you singing
gave you lilies. and your grotto filled
With the sweet odors of all flowers rare:
gave You apples. as l kissed your hand.
And reddest peoples from my richest land.
Oh. brave the restless pillows OF your world ::
They toss and tremble see my cypress
And bending laurels. and the tendrils curied
or honeyed grapes, and a fresh treasure
trove
In vine crowned Aetna. OF pure running rills /!
o Galatea, kill the scorn that kills!
Softer than lambs and whittier than the curds,
O Galatea, listen to my prayer:
Come, come 10 land. and hear the song OF
birds:
Rise. rise. from ocean depths, as lily fair
As you DIRE in my dreams! Come, then. y
Sleep,
For you alone can bring her from the deep.
And Galatea, in her cool. green waves.
Piaits her long hair with purple flower
bells
And laughs and sings. while black browed

And 10 the wind his iovelorn story tells;
For well she knows that Cycops will ere
long
Forget. as poets do, his pain in song.

BridegroOms' Souvenirs.

1t has long been the fashion for
brides to wear gowns or lace or other
articles Of feminine apparel worn on
matrimonial occasions by their moth
ers or grandmothers. But 1t is I'M
usual to hear of bridegroom wear
ing any of the wedding trappings of a
forbear. Such an incident occurred re-
Gently in Illinois when a man was
married wearing the white kid gloves
that his grandfather had worn at his
wedding eighty-two years before.
If bridegrooms adopt this custom,
granting they have grandfathers Of a
saving turn Of mind as well as sem
timental. future weddings will afford
variety in description hitherto un-
known. But to utilize grandfather's
wedding garments may bring embar-
easements An old fashioned dress coat
may serve very well, but linen shirt
with tall collar attached, such as
ones grandsire wore with black silk
SlOCh, MOuiu SCdIttly bt III Tire hiOut.
An Andrew Jackson high hat would
lend an air of distinction to almost
any bridegroom, but a stovepipe of
the Hayes period would be impossible.
Grandfather's tall boots would be an
embarrassment on a wedding journey
owing to the shortsightedness Of mod
ern hotel keepers in not providing
bootjacks.
But there is one thing of grand
fathers that any and every present
day bridegroom might welcome. That
is his well filed black pocketbook
with a strap around II. Any bride
groom with such treasure left by
grandfather could look forward to his
wedding journey with a stout and
grateful heart. OF course to have
such practical souvenir handed down
for weddings every bridegroom must
have the right kind of grandfather.

The First Down Easter.

Three hundred years ago yesterday
the first white child was born in New
England. The Light that greeted him
was that which came through the
portfolios OF the Mayflower. His par
ents, travellers at the end OF a mo-
mentous journey, appropriately
named the boy PEREGRINE. His
father was WILLIAM WHITE, his
mother SUSANNA.
Unfortunately for Mr. WHITE, he
died before PEREGRINE was four
months old. Fortunately for SU-
SAUNA and PEREGRrNE, long widow
hoods were not in fashion among the
Pilgrims. EDWARD WINsLow's wife
ELIZABETH died i'm March. 1921, about
the time of WILLIAM WHITES death.
Widower and widow married in May
and PEREGRNE had an influential
stepfather and better prospects. He
was doubly famed, for he was not
only the first English child born In
the region but his mother was the
first bride.
The reader who finds so many
ironies I'm history might expect that
nobody i'm PEREGRrNEs time ever
thought Of him as being distinguished
by the accident Of his coming into

The kelent'ng OF George Conan.

The evening of August IA, 1919, was
not unduly hot, but Mr.. GEORGE NJ.
CONAN was. He uttered the follow
ing vehement words, provoked by in
cidents of the actors strike:
"I've never broken my word to my
self, and though it's the toughest
thing l ever had to say, no argument
can make me go back TO the Friars
or the Lambs as long as live"
We recall this historic declaration
because, coupled with the announce
ment that Mr.. CONAN has again be-
come a member of the Friars, it offers
an example to the very rash.
1t is unwise to say publicly that
you will never do something unless
you have considered it coldly as well
as holly. This applies to politicians
as well as to playwrights.

Hazing Is Often Brutal.

To THE NEW YORK HERALD: Most
schoolbcys consider hazing a fine art.
If they would consult the dictionary
they would learn that the definition of
the verb is ito irritate, vex, annoy"
Another meaning is ito subject to mock
discipline
In practice hazing, instead of being a
mild form of teasing a lower class stu
dent or an inferior to oneself. whether in
shop. factory, office, school, college, So
ciety or regiment. generally degenerates
into bullying and humiliation Of the
weaker person.
In the district live In have noticed
that the larger boys are too much in
ciined to illtreat the smaller ones on
the pretence that the lesser individual
must be taught to respect the older or
larger or more powerful one. This is all
wrong. Had I the power would pun
ish severely all hazers who indulge in the
practice. In the school / attended the
hazers were In most cases the DULLES

West Point at one time was noted for
It's malicious tormenting of students by
haze-s. I hope that these practices have
been stopped there. Annapolis also had
a bad reputation for hazing: In fact. II
was worse than West Point.
Secretary of the Navy Daniels has nv
good wishes in his orders to stop the
practice at Annapolis, and 1 hope he will

RESENTMENT IN JAPAN.
An Old Resident of the Far East Ad-
yises America TO BE COnciliatOry.

To THE NEW YORK HERALD: On my
return to Japan I find deep and growing
resentment at the expressions of certain
sections of Americans concerning the
wonderful country and people OF this
empire. our next door neighbor, which
for years we have proudly boosted was
opened TO the world by Commodore Perry
in 1856.
wonder what the Commodore would
say could he arise and observe how some
Americans are doing everything possible
to kin the kindly feeling and relations
existing for over half a century between
America and Japan, and to put the
Pacific and it's shores in the same state
as exists in Europe to-day.
After my long experience in Japan
and the Far East. extending over a
period of nearly thirty years, will say
there is no more kindly and hospitable
people than The Japanese no race more
American in thought and action; no race
more assmilable and ready to change
it's ways of living II necessary to meet
new conditions.
Any suggestion of the inferiority of the
japanese to any other race. American
or European, is absurd. The statement
that other races are morally superior to
the Japanese Is ridiculous.
Americans travelling through Japan
can see schoolboys playing American
baseball everywhere and can also see
American founded schools. II they ig-
more all these and similar evidences OF
appreciation OF America which the Japa-
nese have shown. and IL they pretend
that the Japanese are an inferior race,
give warning that the japanese will
become from stanch friends-pained
though they are beyond expression by
recent utterances Of Americans--not only
enemies but formidable adversaries. by
TO means to be despised. and ready and
happy to defend their great name and
country In the face of all odds and
against all insults.
Before II is too late the American peo-
pie should realize this situation. A

on equality and fraternity should be pre-
pared. Each country should respect the
dominant position of the other, the United
