JAMES island,
GAME PRESERVE
Clement Henry, Who Ac-
quired Land From Har-

OLD SHORE LINE
is CHANGING

CAMBRIDGE. Nd. July ia
Clement Henry has purchased.
through J. Richard Smith, from for
mer Governor Emerson c. Harring-
ton and the latter's brother, BenJa-
min Z. Harrington, Of Taylor's
Island, practically the entire island
known as James, lying between Lit
tie Choptank river and Chesapeake
bay. The only portion OF the island
not included in the purchase consists
of three small lots with the improve
ments thereon belonging to Daniel.
Solomon and Everett Dean. Mr..
Henry intends to make OF the island
a game preserve for the use of him
self and friends.
The practical abandonment OF
James island as a place OF residence
is, like many other changes that
have occurred along the shores of
Chesapeake bay. due to the action Of
the waters of the bay. which never
give up their work OF changing the
shore line. of cutting away the earth
from beneath the very habitations of
men, and OF forcing the sure but
slowslow removal of the inhabitants
from the smaller islands of the bay.
Twenty-six years ago James Island
was connected with Taylor's Island
by a tongue Of land over which the
people there could drive or walk in
comfort and safety. Taylor's Island
is connected with the mainland by a
hrfdr,o o.ro- CI,,rbtor ~rooIr n,,~fur-
a severe storm the tongue of land
between the two islands was cut
away by the tide. The people there
could reach Taylor's or the main
land only by boat. and the gradual
desertion of the island began. For
many years a church. school and
store were maintained, but the ero-
sion of the waves began TO under
mine the houses closer TO the shore,
and so by degrees the population de-
parted. The merchant went out Of
business. the school had TO be
abandoned and the total number Of
people on the island declined from
about 200 to 3. Some Of the people
sold their holdings; others allowed
them TO be sold for taxes. The sepa-
rate parcels were bought up by the
Harringtons. and The island. with the
exception Of the Dean properties,
was sold to Mr.. Henry.
That the new owner is in earnest
in his intention 10 make it game
preserve is shown by the fact that
he has already purchased nine deer
as a beginning.

II does not seem fair
That high in the air.
The cats and the dogs.
And maybe the frogs
Can have a nice ride.
While we must abide.
On this mundane sphere
It's all very nice.
For little white mice.
And Jof the monkey
A gay little fiunkey-
The COW and the calf.
But not the giraffe.
And It all sounds queer.
The lion and bear.
Both dread upper air;
Antelope, and jay
Enjoy the high way;
But the giddy goat.
Cannot keep a1oat
In a climate clear.
Dog Jim lay him down.
Whenever he found
His master flew away
Without him any day:
He never would move
His great love TO prove
Though the weather be severe
So, away they go.
Through clouds and snow:
The mascots and man
A right merry clan.
High up In the air.
But Il does not seem fair
We must stay right here.

MORE TREATY DELUSloNS

DN WAY of consolation for the negotiation
ID of n treaty which recognizes that Ger
many lost the war, the Berlin government
softCns its plea for ratifyng action by the
RciChstag with the observation that the new
pact is full of holes.
SupCrfiCially, an instrument held TO be thus
rdded might be expected to appeal to the
nation which has looked in vain for oppor'
tuntics to wrigglc out of the obligations OF
the Versailles Treaty In the memorandum
just presented to the National Assembly,
however the Government quickly vitates
its own arguments by admitting that the
DrCscl- Roscn pact Is q preliminary to tur-
thcr negotiations with Washington.
Specific questions will come up for adjust
mcnt in these inevitable subsequent arrange
mcnts. but there is not the slightest reason
TO believe that the detailed terms will be
any less tender Of German sensbilities than
was the more general contract.
One of the chief differences between the
methods of the Allies and those of the United
States in dealing with Germany is that the
associated Powers e,aborately and in exact
vcrbage stated the whole case as they saw 1t.
The United States has seen fit to negotiate
along less vivid lines. principally because OF
the necessity Of establishing official peace as
speedily as possible with a practical instru-
nent. The holes" if they exist, will be
plugged up in later transactions from which
Germany. by reason of the diplomatic pre-.
udc now up for approval will be unable to
escape.
In Berlin there is little prospect of pro-
lonSed wrangling over the DreSel- Rosen
Treaty. If it plcases the Government to
pretend that 1t is too weak to be worth de-
fcating, no especial harm will be done.
Secretary Hughes is not reported as losing
any sleep because Of alleged inadequacy of
the agreement. 1t may be presumed that
he regards it as an indispensable preliminary
to a tightening process which will fully safe
guard and protect for the future the inter-
ests Of the United States. German delusions
on this subject arc of mino" consequence.

TIME TO SHOUT

VAGUE introductions to the formidable
! Y task of preparing for the Worlds Fair
in Philadelphia in 1925 have about eX-
hausted their appeal.
While It cannot be said that the public is
emotionally aroused over the project. 1t iS
equally undcniublr that definite incentives to
enthusiasm have been rare
The Executive Committee in charge Of the
program has expressed the feeling that more
spirited publicity methods ore needed. There
can be no argument on this point.
Campaigning on behalf of the exposition
should be comprchcnsively planned and pur-
sued with all possible celebrity.
The congressional sanction impcratively
needed to support the Endorsement by Council
and the State Legislature will probably be
withheld for several months. When the
appropriate moment arrives for presenting
the case in Washington the diffusion Of infor
nation concerning the undertaking through
out the United States will be an obvious help.
The committee is properly emphasizing
the necessity of prOcaiming its purposes in
a way to enlist millions of Americans.
This is the fashion in which all world s
fairs in this country have been launched.

RAIL MERGERS

ONLY the responsible executives OF the
~ great railway trunk lines can properly
assess the value Of the Interstate Commerce
Commissions suggestion of new system Of
mergers of small lines with the larger ones
in new scheme of national transportation.
The theory behind the formal announcement
of yesterday appears valid enough TO the
eye Of a scientific economist. 1t is relni-
niscent of formulas adopted by the Govern
ment in the period Of fedora lied rail control
1t would provide plan under which. accord
ing to the theorists, big lines and little ones
should prosper while communities now
served by dispirtcd and down at the heels
rail systems should fare best Of all
Meanwhile. because OF the desperate Situa-
tion in which the lnrger railway corporations
find themselves at the end Of a period Of
unexampled financial and economic ronfu-
sion. there may be good reasons why the
executives of the dominating lines might
shrink from a suggestion which, in the end
would involve for them increased response
bilitieS and part Of the burden Of anxiety
now borne by the smaller roads.
The Interstate Commerce Commission OBJ
viously Is aCtualed by trust in the added
efficiency which closer CO. operation ought to
bring to railway organizations evcrywhcro.
But the problem, as it appears from the
outside at least, is one for executives 10
deal with. 1t Is generally felt that the big
lines should share some Of their strength
and vitality with the smaller ones for the
general good of the country. But many Of
the big lines are now so situated that they
need all their strength and vitality to keen
In running order.
