such units as would be OF use In an
emergency involving only the Regular
Army and National Guard components.

DAYLIGHT SAVING.
Valedictory Remarks Of One Who
Wants No More Of It.

To THE NEW YORK HERALD: Those
misguided gentlemen who have inflicted
on long suffering multitude one of tho
worst pieces of mistaken and sumptuary
legislation a community ever suffered
under, the so-called daylight saving law,
now generously announce that next
year five months of the nuisance will do
them as well as seven months did this
year.
That dogs tall should be cut off close
behind his ears. There is no saving In

Of spirit.
have probably spent ten or twenty
times as much for gas to keep warm
before, at and after breakfast on ac-
count of being obliged to get up at an
unreasonably early. hence cold, hour as
saved in the cost of lighting. and It
is as thrifty to save In fuel as It Is to
do so in lighting. Those who have suf-
fered cold instead Of artifcialiy warm
ing themselves have also made no saw
Ing. They had better have been warm
in bed those cold hours and spent money
for light when they needed II than suf-
fer abstraction of vitality as they did.
The whole scheme Is essentially an
autocratic interference with natural law
and egregiously dishonest. and not be-
ing universal II makes for infinite con-
fusion. II speaks volumes for the care
with which our railroads are operated
but It Is also largely q matter of good
luck that the last seven months have
not seen a terrible railroad slaughter.
caused by the confusion Of times which
this so-oalled saving law has thrust
upon railroad operation. And on ac-
count of the constant liability to and its
furtherance of such happenings alone
it s to be hoped that this law will
everywhere be repealed.

ESPERANTO IN THE LEAD.
Victory Predicted for the Language as
Well ms the Schooner.

To THE NEW YoRK HERALD: OF course
Esperanto won the race. Could one ex-
peet any other result from n veteran
record heater? A s-nbination OF YAM
kee ingenuity and the taiismanic spell
Of Esperanto is simply insuperabie.
Since Esperanto. the language. made
her appearance in 1887 a score and a
half of would-be rivals have been clam
oring for the worlds recognition. every
one OF them claiming that Just as VIOLA
pix at the very zenith OF It's success
was supplanted by Esperanto 30 the
new aspirant was sure 70 supplant Es-
peranto. But somehow tho suppianting
always failed to materialize. and Espe-
ranto Is proceeding on the even tenor Of
her way.
Numerous delegations OF phiiologists.
OF whom every one had after his name
such string Of titles that the alphabet
was taxed to its utmost to enumerate
them ALL have been as impotent TO stem
the forward march Of Esperanto as Hin
deuburgs shock regiments were in their
effort to stop the Yankees at Chateau
Thierry. For Esperanto Is no more a
proposition, as are all its would-be rivals
but living fact.
It has long left the classroom for the
counting house. AS the New York dele

citation am receiving almost every day
from various parts OF the world letters
whose writer's talk not of theories but
of business, business, business.
There have been organized In a dozen
principal cities OF Europe common COM
mercial language committees for the
propagation of Esperanto In commerce.
year ago was organized such a COM
mittee in our own metropolis. whose on
GERS are: Chairman. Henry w. Fisher.
chief electrical engineer of the Standard
Underground Cable Company; treasurer.
Rufus w. Powell. secretary Of the Ma
tional Association OF Glue and Gelatin
Manufacturers secretary. James F..
Morton, Jr.
The Soviet Government Of Russia sub
mitted the whole question of an interna-
tional auxiliary language to an official
commission, and the commission ap-
proved Esperanto as the best. and II has
decided to use 1t In all the schools Of
the Russian Republic. Obligatory courses
of study have already begun In Moscow,
Petrograd. Tver, Orel and Smolensk.
Brazil favors Esperanto in its tele-
graphic and Fable service by placing It
on the same basis OF charges as Portu-
guese. and is also introducing 1t In its
courses OF study in secondary schools.
The Chamber Of Commerce Of the
State of New York has given the same
value to Esperanto as to other Ian
guages. and a number of candidates
passed the examination with success. 1t
Is very evident that the longheaded gen.
| tlemen Of the last mentioned organiza-
tion are of the opinion that IL our mer-
camille schooner Is to bring the bacon it
will have to be equipped with Esperanto

FOR SECRETARY OF STATE.
DIR. David Jayne Hin Suggested for
the Choice Of Mr.. Harding.

To THE New YoRK HERALD: While
tho public is specializing about the Cab
met of President Harding and sug-
gesting sundry persons therefor l ask
leave to offer through your columns the
name OF DR.. David Jayne Hill for Sec
rotary of State.
The Republican party. and Mr. Har-
ding In particular. have Herculean
task before them to correct the plumbers
end maladministration of the last eight
years. The best talent of the country
will be needed on the Job. and hardly
any position In the Cabinet will be OF
greater help and Importance than that
OF Secretary OF State.
Under tie present Administration this
department has lost all prestige and
about struck the bottom of incompe-
tency and inefficiency. Dr. Hill is the
man to restore Its prestige and make
II function efficiently in the discharge
of its gravely important and multifari-
Gus duties.
He has rendered no mean service TO
the nation and the Republican party
during the last eighteen months by his
able and most intelligent discussions
Of the League Of Nations. in which he
has furnished the moro intelligent and
thoughtful people of the country the
best reasons and arguments against the
League. He is thoroughly American
experienced in diplomacy. and question
If there Is a man In the United States
more learned than he in international
and constitutional law and diplomatic
history and practice.
In word. he has all the qualihca-
tons to make an ideal Secretary OF
State. ALEXANDER SIDNEY LANIER.

England Is Anxious About Our Oil
If We Are Not.

If We Are Not.
Lord PIRRIE Is here to find out how
much longer the American fuel oil
supply is going to last at the present
terrific rate of consumption. He does
not expect Americas oil fields to dry
up in the next four or Eve years and
leave this country kicking on It's back
for supply Of petroleum. Lord PR
RE, typical Of the general run Of big
business men in England, Is worrying
about period more distant than 1925.
He is thinking Of the prospects for
supply Of fuel oil for British ships
say a quarter or even a half century
from now.
If America intends to go on reck-
lessly consuming the oil from her
strategic sources for uses which could
just as well be supplied from foreign
oil fields England does not purpose
to be caught later with a great fleet
Of oil burning steamships In the At
lantic trade dependent on American
oil for fuel.
So long as OIL fuel costs no more
than coal the advantages Of oil burn
ing ships will continue Lord PIRRIE
probably has tucked away In his port.
folio statistics which show the two tn
one proportion Of coal and oil re-
spectively required for ship propul-
sion, the increased fuel units, the
clipping of three days from the round
trip across the Atlantic, the saving of
% per cent. cargo space, 65 per cent.
in firemen's wages and IS per cent.
in bunkering time, all Of which result
from the use Of oil under the ships
boilers. No doubt he has multiplied
these figures by the 100000 tons of
world shipping and divided that into
the present 400,OO0.OOO barrel pro-
ductive capacity of America, proving
that If the whole merchant fleets Of
all countries were oil burners they
would consume fewer than 100000, 600
barrels year. He cannot be troubled
therefore about the present output.
But Lord PIRKIE knows and every
body else who has stopped to think
about it knows that If the vast con-
sumption of American oil Is not dimin-
ished the time will come when it will
not be SO plentiful and cheap. The
oil burning ships will not be able to
compete with coal burners unless some
foreign sources can be tapped to sup
I plement the American supply.
The primary step should be taken
now to prevent the exhaustion of
American supplies. Production from
foreign fields should be speeded up to
decrease the demand on our domestic
sources. Oil is not coming so fast as
it might come from Rumania, Mesopo-
tamia, India and Persia. England
controls 70 per cent. Of the oil bearing
lands of the world. but she produces
less than per cent. of the oil con-
sumed. She is carefully conserving
her fields.
When the time comes for opening up
these British oil reserves British ships
burning oil will have the same pre-
ferred, treatment her coal burners en-
JOY when bunkering English coal. But
they will not be opened so long as the
price Of American oil puts premium
on keeping them closed. Meanwhile
we let ours flow away in rivers.
