When native Borneo husband is
asked TO bring some eggs home the
chances are he Will start out with a
boat and a thin rod. He doesn't row
over 10 market or a chicken farm.
He paddles out TO some island on
which he knows turtles lay their
eggs.
Drawing his boat up on the sloping
beach the native takes his rod with
him and walks along the sand look
ing for a turtle or her tracks. These
turtles are large They are so big
and strong that one can stand on
the back OF a fully grown turtle and
the turtle will walk along as II no
one was riding on his back.
If the egg gatherer sees a turtle
laying her eggs his search is ended
All he has 20 do is 20 wait until she
has finished then frighten her away
and take her eggs. Even If the egg

Haywood's Good Work.

Whether William D. Haywood, one

sedition, ever returns here to accept
punishment, his flight to Russia has

tent upon breaking down the existing
governmental and social system in the
United States. Indeed. in gratitude
for this convincing proof that Haywood
has given of the incendiary character
of his organization the government Of
the United States might grant him
a pardon and leave him at large to
continue this good work Of propa-
ganda.
In the Moscow meeting Of the third

disagreement with the delegates of the
American communists on the question
of the method Of most effective labor
organization in this country. He took
issue also with Trotsky, who con.
demned duality of organization and

1t is no longer possible to camouf1age

bodies. So thoroughly is it understood
now that pernicious radicalism is seek

by other means. that all loyal work

seeing. more clearly the menace to
their own security and prosperity in
the activity of the left wingers,' "di
rect actioners" and communal owner

At Moscow it was said that Hay

thing, that the radicals should all
leave the American Federation OF
Labor. But for different purposes
Haywood, it seems. wants them out in
order to enroll them into his own
group. Gompers wants them out in
order to purge the American Fedora

Haywood's troubles at Moscow have
pretty effectually shown up the whole
game of seditious propaganda. and he
can return or not. just as he pleases.
He no longer counts in this country

The Ship Board Losses.

Chairman LaSker'S disclosures OF
Ship Board losses and wastage are
presented with a deep feeling on his
part that can be readily appreciated
He has been assigned to an admin
istrative task of great Importance. On
looking into the situation he finds. ac
cording to the statements just made
that the whole business of government
shipbuilding, purchase, operation and
sale has been conducted at shocking
loss of public money and with no re,
gard for business principles. His esti
mate is that last year the Ship Board
used $3.50, ,0OO,0 900 of public funds, and
that of this amount 5000 100000 rep.
resented an absolute loss in the board S
operations.
We are used to big figures now and
in a way, to big losses. We have heard
a great deal about the immense eX.
penditures in the aircraft program of
government during the war, and the
relatively small results. We have
known of the vast expenditures in the
maintenance of the railroads by the
government; in the purchase Of sup.
plies never used and ultimately scrap.
ped; of the enormous shrinkage of
values after the war, when the gov.
ernment has come to settle up its
accounts. But this Ship Board bust.
ness is particularly disturbing. OF
course, when this government needed
ships at any cost to carry supplies
overseas and to transport troops in
the greatest hurry, all kinds of prices
had to be paid in the development of
new yards and subsidiZing the old
ones, in the purchase and construction
of ships. But that this job should
have been done with so little regard
for regularity of accounts. so little
thought for business principles, as
Chairman Lasker's revelations now in.
dictate. is a shock even to a public
more or less accustomed to the
thought of extravaganza in war time.
This Ship Board scandal will prob.
ably furnish one of the recurrent
themese Of discussion for years to
come. Apparently it will take some
expert probing to get at the bottom
Of the situation and to straighten out
the figures. Much more important,
however. than to ascertain just how
much has been lost. is to assure sound,
honest, business-like administration
now and in the future, so that NO
moro waste will occur.

The Liquor Smugglers.

An ingenious explanation is offered
Of the so-called mystery ships that
have been puzzling navigators for
some months past and to the opera
tions Of which some unsolved disap-
pearances at sea have been attributed.
It is suggested that these "phantoms''
are substantial craft engaged in the
business of transporting liquor to the
United States or seeking ships to
which their contraband cargoes are to
be transferred. That an extensive
traffic in liquor is being conducted off
the coast of the United States is well
known. The profits from liquor i'm
portation and sale are high and tempt
smugglers and blockade runners. It
is known that ships have landed their
cargoes and some of these have been
seized. 1t is suspected that as a means
OF reducing the chances Of detection
the whisky runners intercept certain
assigned ships at sea and transfer
their cargoes there. usually at night.
Prearranged signals are displayed.

The President as Adviser.

Congress is showing marked respect
for the Presidents Judgment in mat
ters of legislation.
He formally expressed himself on
the subject of the bonus to the soldiers
OF the world war, and his views pre-
vailed. Until he spoke, sentiment in
the Senate seemed to favor the pas.
sage Of the House bill. At his request
the bill was recommitted, and the final
fate of the proposition depends on de.
velopments.
He expressed himself informally on
the subject of the proposed duty in
the Fordney tariff bill on crude and
fuel oil, and in the House yesterday
his views were indorsed by majority
of more than a hundred.
In both these cases the President. it
is understood. acted as referee. His
views had been sought. Divisions on
Capitol Hill were such it was thought
advisable to turn to him and get a
''steer" from the outside.
In each case the President had an
opinion. and the courage of it. AS
the leader of the party responsible
for legislation he responded at once
when assured that his advice would
assist in solving difficult problem.
Here is where the Presidents ex-
perience as legislator comes in. He
grasps legislative situation readily,
and knows the value of word spoken
In time. And now that start has
been made, we may probably expect
during his term of office to see him
called in to settle important disputes
whenever they arise.

Bank Robberies.

A few years ago a lone-handed bank
hold-up occurring in a city was re-
garded as an amazing development of
wild west" methods. Every such en-
terprise profoundly shocked the COM
munity in which it occurred Nova
days these bank thefts are not so un-
common as to excite more than pass
ing interest and concern. Yesterday
one Of them occurred here in Wash
ington and the thief got away with
nearly a thousand dollars. At latest
accounts he has not been captured.
He turned the trick with ease. He
not only held up the bank. but he
commandeered a passing motorist at
pistol point and compelled him to
carry him swiftly from the scene Of
his crime. Then he disappeared.
This is not to suggest that holding
up banks is a particularly easy or
safe procedure. Whether it is done
singh. handed or in company, it al
most invariably results in capture and
punishment. Some months ago band
Of robbers descended in midday upon
the bank at Sandy Spring. Md, shot
one of the officers and got away with
a large amount of cash and secur-
tiles. After a long search several of
the members of the gang were caught
and some of them have been tried and
convicted. Over in New York the lone
handed gunman robbed a bank. killed
two men and got away. He was
caught. convicted and executed.
The hold-up bank robber must work
in daylight. His features are exposed.
He can be later identified if he leaves
any one living to tell the story.
Usually the securities and the cur
rency can be traced through mum.
bers. Clues almost invariably de-
velop by this means. A clean get.
away is extremely difficult. For the
first few hours or days after such a
crime the police seem baff1ed. but
thanks to the system of intercity
police exchanges it is possible to sound
a countrywide alarm, and even though
modern robbers are aided by motor
cars and telephones and other devices
the net almost always closes about
them.
No reproach can be put upon the
bank official who suffers a hold-up.
He is taken unawares, with pistol
thrust into his face. He has no al
tentative but to "stand and deliver.'
In some banks alarm signals may be
sounded by pressing foot buttons. and
knowing this the professional bank
robbers avoid such institutions while
the chances are against their escape.
The favorite prey of the hold-up men
are the smaller banks in towns and
suburbs. where such protective devices
have not been installed. These re-
peated hold-ups suggest that no finan-
cial institution should be without
some means of signaling for help in
an emergency.
