The Meuse-Argonne Offensive

(Continued)
The morning of October II found
US chartered on high hill near the
Valley of the Eprimont, which had
been captured by the Americans
few days before. A spell of gloom had
been cast over the entire company
by the horrible calamity of the night
before, when we had lost so many OF
our comrades-some of them the most
popular members of the company.
The depression was not even lifted
bv what would otherwise have been
a joyful event-the giving out Of cou-
pons to be sent to our homes for the
Christmas package-but 1t did serve
to change the thought somewhat. 1t
is not possible to quite understand
now the great Importance that things
like chocolates, cookies, chewing gum
and cigarettes, assumed to the over
seas soldier In ordinary times the
desires are diversified but with the
doughboy all desire seemed to be con-
centrated on few unattainable things
such as these. Fate decreed that most
of US were to be denied those hoped
for Christmas boxes. Many were kill
ed in battle the next two days; some
were wounded and spent Christmas
in hospitals in France; while some
who were Dumped by the flu on
the hike to the Rhine, spent Christmas
in American hospitals on German ter
ritory. The officers urged the men
to enclose with the coupon letter
to the home people. Even the two
boys of our company who could Meth
er read nor write had someone else
express for them in writing their love
for the folks back home. These were
the last letters for many OF our boys.
After the giving out of Christmas
coupons was over, the kitchen detail
was ordered to prepare the best meal
possible. This was served about three
o'clock in the afternoon and we'll did
we remember what It consisted Of
beefsteaE, mashed potatoes, peas and
Coffee with both sugar and milk
and jam. True the last-named article
had evidently been dipped from the
can with a thimble, for we only came
upon it accidentally as it lay hidden
behind the peas, but nevertheless it
was taste of jam.
Our rifles, gas masks and bayonets
were inspected and 100 rounds of am
munition, one can Of Corn Willie"
and four boxes of hard tack were is
sued to each man, and at p. m. we
babe farewell to the kitchen guard
and set out for the point where we
were to relieve the First Division. We
were scheduled to reach there before

At 5 p. m. we were to go over the

and we were up long before daybreak.

vance. And thus the Rainbow Divi-

Is Singing a Lost Art2

10 the Editor of The Tribune.
Sir To the excellent letter "Oues-
tioning Vocal Teachers" by Douglas
Stanley, in your issue Of August 20, let
me add that we are now face to face
with serious predicament in the
singing world, for there are no new
singers capable of carrying on the
work of those who have left the field.
There are plenty of good voices, and
innumerable students and aspirants for
high honors, but none has the equip
ment necessary to hold the pace de-
manded Of first favorites.
This is not only local condition,
for impresarios are now securing the
world in vain for artists capable of
sustaining principal roles. In singing
the mechanics of sound must be under
stood and applied to the vocal instru-
ment. In the old days singers were
given sound musical training by great
masters. But when musical training
was supplanted by arbitrary theories
of tone production, the mischief began
which is now reaching its elimination
in depriving the world of vocal artists

The Davis Monument

The erection of q stately obelisk in
memory Of Jefferson Davis to mark
his birthplace attracts little atten-
ton. Yet not long ago protests
would have been voluminous and
forceful. Great has been the change.
Multitudes who once would have
frowned upon the shaft will now re-
gard it with degree Of appreciation,
as denoting not SO much glorification
of an attempted secession as con-
firmation of a perpetual and indis-
soluble Union.
Jefferson Davis was for many
years an eminent and respected pub
lie servant of the United States, gal
liant in war, wise in council, capable
/ in administration and pure in char
acter, and for four years was the
| head Of q government of great peo-
plea government which, no matter
how much or how justly we may con-
denim it as unlawful, did exist dc
fdcto, exercised all the functions OF
government and commanded our owr
recognition as belligerent power
Such a career bulks large in Ameri
can history and is not unworthy Of
commemOratlOn.
Years ago, largely by the votes Of
New England and the old Free
States, the name of Robert E. Lee
was inscribed by the side Of that O.

tury, it is profitable to recall tha

our domestic conflict both spran
from the dark and bloody ground
of Kentucky, only a few miles apar
in space and less than year apar
in time. To the one the whole ma
ton has paid such memorial tribute
as not more than one other in all it
history has known. To the othe

Properly Labeled

"The Conference for the Limita-
ton Of Armament" is to be the off,
cial designation Of the meeting in
Washington in November.
The title is we'll chosen. To call
it the disarmament Conference"
was to be guilty of the Wilsonian
practice of vainly promising. 1t
would too much raise millennial
hopes.
To call it the Armament Confer
ence" would also be misleading, for
it would imply a possible increase
in armaments. To call it the "Pacific
Conference" would also be unsatis-
factory, for it would too much stress
geography.
A misleading label is dangerous.
Much of the harm of Mr. Wilson's
catchwords lay in the fact that they
were delusive. They sounded well,
but raised false hopes. They i'm
piled sudden attainment of
heavenly perfection, and naturally
were followed by disillusion, strife
and bitterness.
In the case of the conference on
the limitation of armaments it is
just as we'll to be clear from the
start. While striving to attain the
ideal, which in the present case is
considered by many to be complete
disarmament, we must remember
that this can only be achieved step
by step. The greatest possible cut
in armaments is, of course, to be
hoped for. But it is folly not to
realize that the question is one OF

New-York tribune., 1921-09-01

In the presence OF armed lnsurrec-
tion a civilized democratic govern
ncnt does not argue. 1t acts.
When there are deliberate rejec-
ton Of public law and persistent eff
forts to substitute private wishes
therefor a government does not par
ley. 1t suppresses.
So President Harding's proclama
ton to the armed bands which are
terrorizing the Mingo district Of
West Virginia, demanding of them
immediate dispersal, will be over
whelmingly supported by public
opinion. In almost the same region,
facing a similar defiance Of law,
Washington, as our first President,
brought the Whisky Rebellion to a
speedy end.
Where lie the merits in West Vir-
ginia's s protracted industrial disturb
ance it is not necessary to explore at
this time. 1t is enough to know that
against men peaceably at work
others with weapons in their hands
arc marching, and that West Vir-
glnia's Governor confesses that he is
unable to provide protection. The
Presidents action, coerced as he is
by q provision Of the Constitution as
wise as it is explicit, is automatic.
When order is restored, when the
marchers arrive once more at thel,
homes wholesomely free of the no
ton that the law does not bind then
and they may violate at pleasure thu
rights of others, then, of course, will
come serious consideration Of wheth
er or not they have grievances. Blu
first there must be acknowledgment
of the laws supremacy-of a laN
made in the interest of all, and no
the selfish creation of few.
Having acted prudently by movin.
promptly, before collisions occurre
and passions were infamed, tn
President will doubtless win fo
public authority a bloodless victor!
Men have been betrayed into ir
surgency by listening to the allie
doctrine that the law is an enemy
They will recover from their foil
and realize that the nations chic
was their best friend when h
stopped them. The law IS a jealou
nncster, tolerates no rival in it's civ
worship. Only so can it secure thf
equality of right which is the ave-
age mans safeguard against inju

OF Such Is HyIanism

A spectacle, indeed, to fill and en-
gage the eye of the town was that
provided yesterday at the hearing of
TIE legislative investigating commit
tee-the Markets Commissioner quit
ting the witness stand rather than
meet the charges of corruption and
graft and chicane resting upon his
department! Having been compelled
tc sign waiver Of immunity, O'Mal-
ley knew and his counsel knew that
any testimony given by him under
such circumstances would be avail
able to the state in any proceeding it
might desire to undertake. So his
counsel, seeing him pressed by the
investigators, bade him be silent.
And O'Malley, who had clamored for
his day in court and all opportunity
to be heard in defense Of himself and
his administration of the Markets
Department, chose, as was his con-
stcutional right, to accept that ad-
vice.
The act speaks for itself. So does
the act Of tine counsel in chief Of the
Investigators in forwarding to the
public prosecutor transcript Of the
evidence which has been adduced by
him concerning O'Malley's admins
tration of his department.
But let not the public forget that
there is more than that to this scan
dal. All that has been dragged into
the light and recorded of bribery and
corruption and maladministration
could not have been, could not be,
save for Hylarism.
And how mean it Isl Of what
meanness is Hylanism capable! 1t
boasts of it's sympathy and interest
in the poor, and it stands unmasked
as profteer in their foodstuffs-
an exploiter of their market places!
The Markets Department was con-
ceived as a division Of the municipal
government primarily to help the
poor and cheaper the cost of living.
1t was planned to provide stands and
stalls at such nominal rentals and
under such regulations as would en-
able those Of limited means to pur-
chase the necessaries Of life at prices
forbidden by other forms of private
distribution. 1t was to be the haver
of the housewife who not only has tx
count the noses around her boart
but the dimes in her pocketbook.
The while, however, that tn.
housewife was counting her dimes
and wondering why the prices of he
: bread and meat and fish did not com
down, but instead kept soaring, sh
was being betrayed. For every dol
lar of graft that passed she in tur1

Our Trade With Venezuela
Of Much Larger Volume Than With
Paraguay and Bolivia

Paraguay and Bolivia
To the Editor of The Tribune.
Sir: In recent issue of The Trib-
unc a letter was published from
Francis B. Purdie in which the writer
seemed to state hy implication that
the trade of Venezuela with the United
States is of lesser volume than that Of
Paraguay and Bolivia.
Of course, exactly the contrary is
true. According to the figures Of the
United States Department of Com
merce for 1919, the latest available,
Venezuela that year bought 4,429,-
2O2 of goods from the United States.
During the same year the imports Of
Paraguay from the United States
amounted to S994,271, while this coun-
try exported $4,771,177 to Bolivia.
There is the same disparity when we
come to examine the figures for eX-
ports from those three countries to
the United States. In 1919, still ac-
cording to the figures Of the United
States Department of Commerce, ex-
ports from Venezuela to this country
amounted to $32,110,7S5. The CORE
spending figures for Paraguay were

The correspondence of President
Harding, John Wanamakcr and Mrs.
Domenico Zaccahea, mother of nine
teen, is so crcditable to all the par
tcipants that comparisons may well
be avoided. But if choice must be
made, here goes one ballot to Mrs
Zaccahca. The promptness with
which she sought better job for her
husband suggests how it happens
that the numerous Zaccaheas arr
able to thrive on $40 week. New

lily not guilty of the offense which

Time has brought changes in the
ideals of the ancient institution OF

The Zaccahea boys and girls are

greatest woman in the world, re

But though there is a shift ir

aspirations. Mrs. Zaccahea would
have larger income so as to have

mothers have worked and planned
