Gated on this declaration was report

mentality Of Senator Borah, Of
Idaho. 1t was understood that Pres
ident Harding, in keeping with his
Endorsement of the party platform,
desired it's passage at the earliest op-
portunity.
Yet what means the word which
went to the Senate Republican lead

the President desires the tolls ques-

And what means the report that he

Element of the matter is one of Dip
lomatic negotiation and not legisla-
ton? Does he find himself standing
with Hay and Root? Is it the view
of Secretary Of State Hughes that
we stand pledged by the treaty?
We feel that Mr.. Hughes's great
legal mind could render no other
decision than that.
The Tribune stands with John
Hay on this. It stands with Elihu
Root. 1t stands for the treaty as
it was written and ratified.
Reason, honor and all that our

to the rest of mankind sustain us.
Let the Borah bill be shelved for
all time.

Loss Of Camp Devens

Massachusetts Grievance Against
Her Statesmen in Washington
To the Editor Of The Tribune.
Sir: eve are being Disseminated
against" said L. W. Berry, member
of the Aver Board of Trade. eve
have Coolidge, Lodge and Weeks in
Washington from massachusetts,, and
they can't get camp for their own
state. The towns within radius of
twenty-five miles are up in arms over
this outage"
The above, clipped from q recent
newspaper, is remarkable document,
one which almost makes citizen lose
faith in the average Americans real
desire for reduction of anybody's taxes
but his own. The War Department has
been making tremendous efforts to re-
duce its expenses. A recent order is
sued will cause the abandonment of
some dozen or more wooden canton
ments throughout the country. But
three are to be retained-one at Camp
Dix for the East, one in the South in
Texas, and one out on the Coast. The
saving in overhead will be heavy.
But "our state" should have a camp!
Not because Of its strategical value, it's
nearness to ports of embarkation, it's
availability for all-year-round drill, but
because eve have influential men in
Washington" On the long suffering
Congressman is laid the stigma of be-
ing the possessor of the hand which
deals out from the "pork barrel" But
the blame can be but lightly placed
upon his shoulders when he received
so loud cue from his heavily taxed
constituents.
Without question every locality in
which one of the dozen or more camps
to be abandoned is now located like
wise feels that it is being Disseminated
against. Congress will be deluged with
letters of protest. Little wonder that
small progress is made against the
cost of government.
The War Department is doing won
ders in the reduction of its overhead.
AS your recent CARTOON so cleverly
showed, Secretary Weeks is the first
to put his house in order. May we give
him our most heartfelt thanks and sup
port, even If the citizens of his own
disseminated against" tate have the
itching palm. HENRY R. WILSON,

The Dover Patrol Monument


To the Editor of The Tribune
Sir: The proposed presentation by
the British Memorial Association to
this country of an obelisk in memory Of
the dover Straits PATROL" of which
our navy constituted an able part, has
been accepted. The City Of New York
has given site for the memorial
at the foot of West Eighty-sixth
Street."
On the tall cliffs of Dover, swept by
stiff sea winds, were met recently a
body of officers and men of the Brit
ish navy, who unveiled an obelisk COM
memorating the dark and hazardous
days Of the Dover Straits Patrol. Bare
headed, many among them must have
raised their. gaze seward, straight
across the Atlantic to the United
States, to their companions Of the
great adventure
"The foot of West Eighty-sixth Street."
which is backed by modern apartment
houses and fronted by the high ground
of Jersey, lacks the environment suit
able to this obelisk A fitting site
would be the high cliffs of New Jersey,
where on bleak winter nights the mon
ument would be silhouetted against
rift in the sky, as a sentinel. In fairer
hours it would be an objective point for
the motorist. From the inscription of
the Dover Straits Patrol his gaze
would lift to the broad expanse of the
sea with more understanding.

Good News From Ireland

The summons to the Irish repub-
lican or Sim Fem parliament to
meet in Dublin on August 16 may
properly be. regarded as the most
hopeful indication Of an Irish peace
settlement that has so far developed.
In the parleys with Lloyd George
at London it is admitted that the
British Prime Minister did not con-
ceal the fact that he would not con-
cede Irish separation. There is no
evidence that General SHUTS hid
from the Sim Fem leaders that the
irreducible minimum was that Ire
land should remain in the British
Empire.
So when De Valera signed the call
for the Irish parliament he did so
with knowledge of this condition.
His action is idle and absurd, then,
if it is not a practical declaration
that he will not insist on Irish indie
pendence. If the parliament agrees
with De Valera, as it seems almost
certain it will, the Irish question, so
far as concerns the relations of Ire
land and the British Empire, seems
practically settled.
What remains unsettled is the Ul-
ster question. The Ulster govern
ment, by declining to send represent
atives to Dublin, shows again that
it has no intention of putting Ulster
under the dominion Of southern or
majority Ireland. Ulster, for the
present at least, will not agree to
mergence-stands for the princi-
pie of self-determination. Will the
Sim Fein parliament abate insist
ence on right to coerce Ulster into
an unwelcome subordination? If it
does, if it grants to Ulster the privi-
lege of disposing of herself, then the
Irish question altogether may be re-
garded as on the eve of settlement.
y The prospect is bright The real
friends of Ireland in this country
will do all in their power to promote
the settlement by refraining from
doing anything stimulating either
side to resort to arms again and to
revive anarchy.

Books u.yv.. By p,...

In reading your review of that por-
ton of my book How to Choose and
Get BETTER Job that dealt with how
an applicant should Dress" writes Ed
ward Jones KildufP, 81 was much
puzzled to know how you found out
that am Yale man and hence a shin
ing mark for a Harvard reviewer en-
Uttered by the victory of the Yale
crew. Why is it that Yale men write
the books-and Harvard men review
them?"
Mr. Kilduff's question is too difficult
for us to answer. We don't know why
it is that Yale men write the books and
Harvard men review them. We don't
know why it is that Yale men start the
end runs and Harvard men spill them.
"But speaking about how to dress. as
you were," continues Mr.. Kilduff, "sev-
eral weeks ago you were pointed out to
me at Henri's, on Forty-sixth Street.
You probably didn't notice me sitting
a few tables away. I was the fellow
wearing soft collar. AS I gazed at
you for the first time T remarked to the
waiter: We'll, he certainly looks like
writer. He reminds me of how DR..
johnson used to dress before sitting
down to good mess Of tripe.' The
waiter agreed.
"Yet you in your dress examplify
how writer and critic should apuear
when applying for job. If you were
the editor Of paper, and smart-look-
ing young man dressed in a Brooks
suit and wearing stiff linen collar
asked you for job as book reviewer.
would you consider him for the place :?
Rather. wouldn't you be inclined to
hire man who wore a soft collar and
an impressed suit and who made q
general sloppy appearance? So YOU
see you are proving my case for me-
the applicant should dress the part.
Il agree with you that soft collars
are more comfortable than starcbed
collars7-but maintain that it NAV be
wiser for man applying for a bust
ness job not to wear a soft collar at
the interview. Soft collars are all

am, or for a critic, such as you are"
Mr.. Kilduff's reflections are entirely
justified, but we contend that the break
in fortune is hard on US. 1t was just
our luck that he should have seen US
the one night in all the year when we
happened to venture out without din
ner coat
"Since it has become the custom to
criticize and argue about your book
reviews" writes Samuel P. Ward, az
feel obliged to call your attention to
the fact that the story quoted from Mr..
Klrkaldy's book was very much better
told twenty-five Cor more) years ago
in vaudeville by George Fuller Golden,
who, in telling'about Casey, a mythical
London cab driver, told about riding
beside Casey across London Bridge and
commenting about the beautiful tone
of Westminster chimes. He had to re-
peat his remarks several times, because
Casey could not hear. Finally, the cab
by said: Excuse me, George, but them
damn bells make 30 much noise can't
hear word you say"
1t has also been called to our at
tention that the E. M. Hull who wrote
The Sheik is not a small Englishman
with hay fever, but Ethel M. Hull.
Other carping objections come from
those who are not to be dissuaded from
the theory of the conquering male.
The desire for real-honest-tc-Go God
caveman is still aflame in the hearts of
most women" writes NJ. P, "no matter
how highly civilized they imagine
themselves to be. Now do not vent the
ire of your wrath on this contributions
or shall Immediately develop a strong
passion for you"
A dangerous business is criticism.
but we will hazard the opinion that
Real Life, by Henry Kitchell Web
ster, is an ingenious and larky farcical
romance. One of the things which
draws us to the book is that all the
hauling and pulling about is done by
the heroine. Does neither M. P. nor
anybody else realize that there NAV
also exist in the world some few hearts

The Coming ower
FRANCES AND JOHN

FRANCES AND JOHN
I'm whut Charles Pratt considevs--ond
Nth acutely critical and sympathetic
cha,m-the manner of Longfello,o.)
In an old and forgotten volume
Of pages musty and brown,
/ read the pathetic legend
OF the lovers of Tunwck town.
Of John and gentle Frances,
Whose lives flowed on serene
AS the river beneath my window
Its grassy banks between.
For John was the village tinker,
And in his garage all day
He repaired the cars of tourists
For as much as the tourists would pay.
But oft did he pause and listen
To the motors insistent noise;
II reminded him of Frances
AS she told him her hopes and joys.
And never rim was fitted
In new tires close embrace,
But he thought of her pure caresses,
Her simple and clinging grace.
So toiling, hoping, praying,
This good mans hours were spent;
Each day saw some traveller aided
And sent on his way content.
And each day in her humble cottage,
Her household duties done,
Did Frances await her lover
At the hour of the setting sun.
Her eyes were deep and tender,
Her permanent wave was sleek,
And the rosy glow of the sunset
Was matched in her glowing cheek.
Flow TRANQUILITY on, River,
Seeking the distant sea.
You know not what rocks await you
Nor how troubled your course shall be-.
One night in the dewy sprYngtime
Frances stood at the garden gate
Expecting the faithful Johnny
And wondering why he was late.
II wilt stroll to the shop" she MUIR
INJURED,
"And give him a glad surprise.
I'll return that old revolver
He lent me to kill the fies."
She opened the shops wide portal
And there, before her eye,
Was car, and Johnny assisting
Its owner, Miss Nellie BLY,.
AS when some tire, inflated
To pressure it cannot bear,
Succumbs, and it's cry Of anguish
Bursts on the startled air;
Or as when a peal Of thunder
Descends from the clouds o'erhead,
There came loud explosion,
And John was suddenly dead.
Poor Frances knelt beside him.
"He looks just grand" she cried.
She tenderly smoothed his necktie
And turned him upon his side.
Full many a fragrant springtime
With nesting thrush and wren.
And many cold December
Have come and gone since then.
But the flowers still bloom on the hill
side
Where Johnny lies at rest.
The trees still cast their shadows,
The sun still sets in the west.
And as Frances, dear old lady.
Moves quietly down the street,
The children gather around her,
And her face is sad ard sweet.
Her smiles, though her eyes are misty
With an unforgotten pain,
AS the sun on an autumn morning
Smiles through the mist and rain.
These all might have been her children,
And John might be now alive,
If, the eight-hour day observing,
He had gone from the shop at five.
But, though he did her wrong that eve
ming,
She is true. He is her man still
And she knows that to her he is faith
full
AS he sleeps on the quiet hill.
Each night in her lonely cottage,
When her simple prayer is said,
She looks at his old revolver,
Weeps softly, and goes to bed.
Thus is the tale recorded
In the volume old and brown.
May we be ever as faithful
AS the lovers of Tunwick town.
