For the first time since the war, an-
nouncement is made Of the completion
of a large new hotel of the first mag

course of construction for more than
year. has now been completed and

depleted by the closing OF the knick-
erbocker, the Manhattan, the Holland

Since the war. building activities in
New York have been largely devoted
to strictly commercial structures.
There have been limited number of
apartment houses put up, but the AM
bassador represents the only notable
hotel structure to be completed since
the armistice. 1t Is owned and oper-
ated by the Ambassador Hotels Sys-
tenn. II occupies the entire block on
the east side of Park avenue, between
Fifty-first and Fifty-second streets.
The facade is OF white stone and the

The visitor to New York should
have no trouble in finding a home, be-
cause there is no city in the world
the accommodation of the stranger,
whether a person OF great wealth or
Of limited means. or one with peculiar
ideas of home surroundings.
There are 132 hotels in New York
that is, on Manhattan Island-and
ninety of these will be found in the
hundred blocks between Twenty
eighth and Forty-eighth streets, Park,
Fourth and Eighth avenues. 1t Is es-
timated that 10000 visitors can be ac-
commodated daily in these hotels.
In a city where numbers have long
since lost their full sense OF magni-
tude. the best way to visualize the ex-
tent OF the public home accommoda-
tions of the city Is by remembering
the march In Fifth avenue of the
First. Twenty-seventh and Seventy
seventh Divisions OF the American Ex-
peditionary Forces. one after the
ether. 1t would take nearly all of
these fighting men to I'LL the rooms

portation facilities. Broadway, from
Canal street to Fourteenth street was
the center of hotel life from 1876 to
1885. Twenty-third to Thirty-thirJ
streets was in its heydey from 1885
to 1895, when the Forty-second street
section took the lead. At this time
Broadway. from Thirtieth to Thirty
fourth streets. was slowly dying as a
hotel neighborhood, until the opening
OF the Pennsylvania terminal. The
opening of the Hotel McAlpin in 1913
was the stroke which began the re-
juvenation of the Thirty-fo street
section.
Since the close of the Spanish war
sixty-five hotels, many OF which fig
ured prominently in their day in New
York, have passed away. Some of
these. no doubt, are still rememb cred

Editorial
of the Day
DIVORCES AND CHILDREN

In refusing TO grant a divorce to
couple with fi', children, which case
recently came before him, Judge Mel
ton acted wisely in keeping with the
best preachments Of Our present day
society. the News-Capital believes.
The merits Of the case, as presented
on the one hand by the husband and
father and on the other hand by the
mother and wife. are incidental cons
pared to the more momentous ques-
ton of the childrens future and that
was the chief consideration in Judge
Melton's decision.
one must be radical indeed On the
subject of personal liberty and per
sonal convenience to sanction the
parting Of husband and wife after
they have been blessed with a fam
lily Of little ones. Divorce may be a
righteous consummation of an un-
holy and unhappy marital alliance, in
isolated instances and it may be NOR
ally Just in extreme cases where chI-
dren are not involved but the strata
of society is based on the ties OF
home life and children who start Off
with the handicap Of separated par
ontage are playing against great odds
in the game Of success and failure.
When children are born to parents,
then the pleasures and idlosyncracies
of the parents are submerged in their
duty to those children. Society has a
right TO demand that such parents
remain true TO the trust that God
has imposed upon them.
Judges, even as a rule, are prone
to consider merely the facts attendant
upon suit for divorce in cases that
come before them, looking not into
the more intimate and potential effects
of the relation. Judge Melton, in our
opinion, has proven himself in this
decision. a good man, a good citizen
and a good judge.

DEFINITELY SETTLED

Tho Ardmoreite would not seek to
throw one stone in the way Of those
who would seek to advance the moral
conditions Of the nation. on the con-
trary, as a newspaper which endeav-
A-~ faithfully and fearlessly to espouse
the cause Of the upright, the moral
and the just, The Ardmoreite is ever
found fighting the battles Of right.
eousness and purity.
notwithstanding this, however, we
feel that we can say, without being
charged with inconsistency, that those
who are so zealously continuing the
battles for prohibition .and the elm
ination Of the liquor traffic are fight
ing without an issue, fighting without
a cause, fighting for a moral ques-
ton which has been settled by amend
ment of the federal Constitution.
The voice Of the American people,
backed up by the decision of the
highest court in America, has declared
against the open saloon, against the
manufacture and sale of intoxicating
hibition.
To continue the fight now, to con-
tinue talking and preaching and writ
ing and spreading prohibition propa-
ganda Is like unto a little child which
cries for a toy it already has, which
grasps for a gift already in its hands.
There was a reason for the exist
ence Of the Anti-Saloon League, there
was a moral good for that league to
accomplish, just as there was a reason
for the arming of American soldiery,
the banding together OF American
troops, the sending Of American arm
les TO Europe's war-riven lands.
But there is no longer a reason for
this league. Its work has been ac-
complished, it has won the good fight
and its armies should be disbanded
: and its soldiers sent about other voca-
tions, just as have been dsbanded
the armies which crossed the seas TO
France, just as have those brave SOL
der boys who braved shot and shell
and faced death in its most dread
and fearful forms, laid aside their
guns and beaten their swords into
plowshares.
The battle for prohibition has been
won, the cohorts OF Rum and Ruin
have been routed. This nation is dry,
and dry it will remain for centuries
yet to come. The old time saloon
keepers have turned their endeavors
into other channels the brewers are
pursuing other lines. the distillers
have converted their distillerics into
warehouses for the storage OF legiu-
mate goods, the worms have been
converted to other uses and Delirium
Tremens has been banlshed from the
land.
Why, then, should not the members
Of the Anti-saloon League stack their
arms, talks off their uniforms and
seek employment in other fields Of
,ndeavor?
