Quit Changing Names

The change of the name of Black
wells Island to "Welfare Island"
or some such thing, warns citizens
and civic organizations to be more
active in resisting the practice of
changing the names Of places and
streets for trivial reasons. The map
of New York already has suffered
too much.
1t was silly to strike the name of
the patriot Laurens from the map
IN favor of the pretentious but color
less South Fifth Avenue. 1t was
even worse to change Chatham
Street to Park Row, since it not only
blotted out the name of man whom
every American ought to regard
with honor and gratitude, but there
was the absurdity of calling street
''Park Row" when it was not re-
lated to a park and was certainly
not row.
Years ago, we remember, there
was concerted and persistent effort
to change the name of the western
entrance to Long Island Sound be-
cause some conceived it to be desper-
ately wicked to say "Hell," and for
a time maps and books were disfig-
ured with "Hurl Gate" That child
ism effort happily failed, though the
memory of it causes regret that the
original name was perverted into its
present form.
The value of names lies largely On
their permanence and thus in their
preservation of historic significance,
as also, OF course, in their accuracy
OF description when that function is
involved. In the present case the

The Edison QUESTIONABLE
Editor of The Tribune.

To the Editor of The Tribune.
Sir: Much sarcastic criticism and
entertaining nonsense has followed the
publication of the Edison QUESTIONABLE
for prospective executives.
The ability to answer such questions
correctly is of little value in itself
This questionable is obviously a gauge
of the background of general intelli-
gence, interests and information OF
the applicant. Mr.. Edison warts exec
utives. To be an executive of the high
est type man must have a good un-
derstanding of human nature in add
ton TO given technical training
A highly trained, technical specialist
may be remarkable engineer, design
er or inventor, but if his interests and
education are so narrow that he has no
sense Of a world or time beyond his
own, then he will not be good execu-
tive--though he may be of great assist
ance to one.
Occasionally, it is true, there is
human encyclopedia who might make
a very high percentage on such an ex-
animation and yet be q poor executive
But undoubtedly the Edison judges are
as competent in sizing UP personalities
as they are in checking bare facts
and by this method they probably VII
get what they are after.

Noisiest New York
No Such Pandemonlum, 1t Is Said,
In Other Large Cities

To the Editor Of The Tribune.
Sir: The editorial in to-day's issue
headed "Chicago's Ear Poultice" leads
one TO believe that the writer is com
pletely deaf in one ear and partially
so in the other. ANY one who has the
temerity to say that "New York has
grown in quiet" must be deaf as we'll
as brave.
Only short time ago some one
wrote complaining of the pandemonium
of noise in New York, stating that at
least half Of the motor vehicles shoald
be scrapped. The noise they make,
which is suitably augmented By the
horrible, shrill "what-do-you-call-um
on the motor trucks, the old ramshackle
street cars humping and banging on
the tracks and the clang Of the ambu-
lances, which seem to be constantly on
the go-add all together and one has
the worst conglomeration Of noise to
De found in any city.
The writer has lived in several ether
very large cities-London, Paris, Chi
cago and Boston, also Montreal-snd
knows that present-day New York out
ranks them all for noise. Before the
day of motors there was a certain kind
of noise from horsedrawn vehicles, but
1t was dull clump-clump, with some
ratings of. harness. not the nerve
racking horror that New York is so
pleased with to-day that she seems
quite content to let dad" enough alone
Such editorials as the one referred
to are, in the writer's opinion, unwise
Let our newspapers work to undo an evil,
not TO encourage it. VOx POPUM.

The Plot Of "Decention.

To the Editor of The Tribune.
Sir: l disagree with some of the
critics of the moving picture "Decep-
ton" who claim it is anti-British
propaganda. In the first place / think
the whole plot has been taken from
one of Miss Muhlbach's books--and
that lady lived in days when the word
propaganda was not banded about 80
much as now.
Regarding the picture being satire
on the table manners of Henry VIII,
that, too, is weak argument to bring
up. The table manners depicted in the
story are probably a faithful repre-
sentation of those of any monarch of
the period. E. A. L. BENNETT.

The Coming 7'ower
THE CITY


You have stood before my gates in the
morning, in the Spring,
With your youth about you shining.
you, heggar and king
In your cloak of rags and dreams; 30
you heard my song begin,
And my songs and streets were gold,
and you knocked and entered in.
You were mine, Oh Little Lover
you were mine.
You have conquered and possessed me;
first my garrets and my lights
And my heart against your heart
through tho magic of my nights,
Then your hand upon my throat to
compel me to your will:
Gold and hope and love and power; as
you laughed and took your fill
You were mine, Oh Little Lover
you were mine.
You have won and you have lost: youth
and pride and dreams and gold.
You are dying in my night, you are
naked in my cold,
But no fear is in your eyes as your
ebbing strength spend
Oh, my master and my slaye---n y
fight without an end.
You are mine, Oh Little Lover
you are mine.

Total e.......... 100000, ooO, 900
AS to the methodsof collection the
docurnenE was most exnIici+.

AS to the methodsof collection the
document was most explicit:
"As compensation for our losses
we shall exploit the conquered coun-
tries in the first place by taking pos
session of all private property and
of all property belonging to the state
that can be exploited for the benefit
of the public. The payment of in
IDENTITIES to the owners of private
property thus taken over for ex-
pfoitation by Germany will be mat
ter for the enemy to look after"
If France had done what Germany
openly proclaimed her intention of
doing the French would have taken
possession of all the German rail
ways, canals, forts, warehouses, coal
and iron mines, factories, business
buildings and even all agricultural
land. The German wishing to use
his former property would be COM
PEELED to pay rent to the French
owner to an amount that would pro-
vide for the payment, principal and
interest, of the $4,000, 100000 in
demnity.
This was the German bill in 1917,
after only three years of war. A
year more would have further lifted
the total. With France and Belgium
as hostages, there would have been
practical confscation for German
benefit of all the private property in
both countries. 1t is not strange
that it is difficult to convince a
Frenchman that he is hard and vim
dictive toward Germany.

The Parking Mystery

Sir; Apropos of your recent remarks
about the difficulty of parking space
for your automobile, please find out by
what authority the owner of houses
40 and 81 West Fifty-fourth Street
puts out big, painted sign reading:
DO not park cars in front of either
40 to 81 West saith Street"
Does the title to these premises also
include the right to tell what shall
happen on the street in front of the
house? Does not the payment of a
license fee to the Imperial State of
New York entitle the owner of an auto
mobile to the use of the streets?

Lloyd Georges Proposal

Even the Germans have enough
aeumen not to take seriously Lloyd
Georges extraordinary proposal that
the Reich be permitted to join the
Allies in pacifying Upper Silesia.
The Vossische zeitung says peril
nently:
"Impotent Germany, whose dis
armament was alleged to be the best
guaranty of world peace, is invited
by Lloyd George to help establish
the Versailles peace ny fighting the
Poles. What turn of eventsl Ger
many has the same right to demand
fuifllment of the treaty from her OPP
ponents. Just as the Entente repudi-
ates German objections based upon
difficulties of fulfllment, Germany
cannot accept Entente differences as
ground for shaking off the Entente
obligations in Upper Silesia"
The Deutsche Tagliche Rundschau
remarks:
''The Inter-Allied Commission hav-.
ing failed completely, Lloyd George
indicates that the Reichswehr might
be used. In that case, however, in
.calculable complications might arise"
The new Chancellor, Julius Wirth,
being asked what was his solution of
the Upper Silesian problem, replied.
"A solution of the problem on the
basis of the peace treaty.
That is the only practicable solu-
ton; and such a solution must recog-
nize absolutely Germany's position
as an outsider. Germany can't be
made military partner in restoring
order in Upper Silesia unless she re-
eeives a unanimous invitation from
the Supreme Council. To think that
France would consent to such part
nership is an absurdity.
Graf Won Waldersee led an inter
national expedition to restore order
in Picking after the Boxer uprising.
AS field marshal he outranked all
the other generals present. linden
burg is the ranking field marshal in
the present European establish
ments. Gould Lloyd George have
dreamed of putting him in charge
Of an international expedition to
drive some Polish rioters out of
Upper Silesia?
[ Leading British newspapers de-
plore the hysteria of Lloyd Georges
speech. The Daily Chronicle, sup
porter of the coalition ministry, ad-
mlits that it would take the situa-
ton more tragically but for the def
ance of the Allies by. Mustapha
Renal Pasha, leader of the Turkish
Nationalists; Gabrielle d'Annunzio,
who occupied Fiume for more than
year, and General Zellgouski, whose
Polish 'irregulars' are still holding
Wilma"
The Morning Post accuses Lloyd
George of Glitter partisanship, in
tense dislike of Poland, pusillani-
nous fear of Germany and igno4
rance of European politics." 1t ex-
presses the hope that the British
public "will not allow itself to be
rushed into acquiescence in the
Prime Minister'S contemplate and
senseless pro-Germanism."
The pacification and partition of
Upper Silesia are problems within
the exclusive jurisdiction of the AL
lied Supreme Council. German
armed aid in settling them is more
than undesirable. 1t is unthinkable.
