cisco can happen here. For years
the city by the Golden Gate sat en-
throned among her superlative natv-
ral advantages, giving no heed to
the tribute Ser merchants and bus
ness men and her commerce were pay
ing through the nose to the manipu-
latocs Of labor unionism. And to-
day she is fighting as she never
fought before to regain her posi-
ton as the first city of the Pacific
Coast Los Angeles, a city without
a natural port, a city with an arti-
fetal harbor, has outdistanced her in
population, and bids fair TO win. her
manufacturing enterprises.
Cannot what happened to San
Francisco happen to New York? We
think so. 1t is for New York to de-
eide. 1t is apprised before the fact
Of what may happen. San Fran
cisco was apprised, but declined to
act. She must deal now with the
consequences after the fact.
And should we not remember what
happened to the goose that laid the
golden eggs?

The confusion, amounting almost
TO panic, into which Hearst's "Amer-
lean" has been thrown by the transit
report is manifest in its muddled
editorial comment. IL apparently
realizes tnat the foundations Of its
traction campaign are gone.
Hearst has heretofore shouted that
the Gve-ccnt fare, except for watcrcd
stock and proftecring by private
traction interests, could easily be re-
tsincd, or even lowered. Now he
iumpa h the other side. lie says that
plan undcr which the traction lines
would be operated ut cost and with
out profit By public committee, half
named by the Mayor, "would make

The enrolment at colleges and
universities this fall is not only the
largest OF record, but far in excess
OF the normal increase attributable
to growth Of population. Heads Of
colleges are seriously considering the
question Of limiting the numbers to
De received. Some colleges have
been compelled to reject applicants.
1t IS no longer necessary for a col
lege president to act as drummer
for q freshman class.
Why this npreccdented rush to
the colleges? 1t is scarcely because
more people have money to spend.
Nor is there evidence of an acces-
sion of interest in or regard for that
classical and humane culture which
used to be synonymous with college
education, for there has been of
late particularly widespread and
vigorous drive against that sort Of
culture as mot practical" and
therefore useless.
The chief reason why young men
and women are thronging to the
colleges and universities is probably
because education is becoming
more vocational. Universities row
offer courses not merely in law and
medicine, but in accountancy. in
retail craftsmanship, in the soliciting
and writing of advertisements. in
insurance, and, indeed, in almost
every department of business activ-
ty. Even the less comprehensive
colleges which have not schools of
commerce, finance and accounts
have in a perceptible degree en-
larged their curricula, and the
general tidal wave which carries
thousands into these practical
versity departments sweeps
many into them as well.
80 1t happens that classical and
humane studies are reported to be
holding their own and in some quar-
tiers making substantial gains. The
upholdcrs OF the old ideals thus
have little ground for complaint.
We are to have more technic;ans,
but coincidentally more with minds
generally enlarged. The two edu-
cational concepts arc not antagon-
istic, as some have feared, but com
Elementary and mutually helpful.

Will Befriend Horses and Dogs
To the Editor of The Tribune.
Sir: Some time since you pub
lished cartoon, when Feller
Needs a Friend" showing a horse at
watering trough with sign "out
OF order" which was very appropriate
to the condition VII oh prevails in this
city. where there are. according to the
last census by the Health Department.
/ 10000 horses The A. S. PC. A. EST
I mates 10000
For several years the horses N
greater New York nave been denend-
ent upon the charity Of humanely in
clincd individuals for water while at
work in the streets Of The city. All
open drinking places were closed sev-
elal years ago by order of the Board
Of Health and the Board OF Agricul-
ture. Since that time the city has not
made any attempt to furnish water for
tie dumb servants so important to
commerce.
Organizations supplying water
through contributions to their funds
have been compelled TO close many
places early in the season. This year
nearly all OF the places thus provided
were closed The last week in August,
which was followed by an extremely
hot spell. 1t was ptful to see the
famished, overheaJed horses sucking
dirty water from the cutters. This
administration has demonstrated that
water can be taken from the city
lydrants to cool and make comfort J.,
able the children on the streets, which
was very laudable act. Some Ave hun
dred women have banded together to
work for the election OF a Mayor who
will give some sort Of guaranty to Us
I that the city government will consider
watering facilities at proper intervals
in all sections where horsese are used.
That horse owners be compelled to
supply adequate shoeing FOR horses
during icy weather, that the horrors
Of two winters ago during Billiards
shall not be repeated.
That persons attempting relief for
suffering animals On our streets have
the cooperation from the Police De
partment required by law.
That it be made misdeneanor for
persons to abandon an animal, or
throw it or the street, thus making it
stray and homeless animal. (This
law prevails IN some other States)
That the annual mad dog scare be
eliminated, not only because It creates
a needless fear in the minds Of
ignorant and hysterical persons, but
that it gives an opportunity for brutal
ity to inoFensive dogs By cruelty in
! clined individuals

The Universal Language
From The Miltcauhes JournaO


Where did the fashion for bohbes
hair come FROM" inquiries an English
business man, and answers: From
America and by the film It is the
contention Of this man that English
children are rapidly becoming Amer,-
canized through American-made screen
pictures.
So there's tilat to worry about. It
doesn't appear that the films are de-
signed as propaganda. AS a matter Of
fact, most films for propaganda pur-
poses have been too obvious TO achieve
/ their end. But inevitably they present
etyies and customs and settings which
are more American than they are any,
thing else except STACEY. And if the
children like what they see. they prob
ably translate it into action.
THIS is no menace. Thoss English
children aren't going to lose their love
of home or their loyalty to their ma
tive land. They are going to under
stand some part Of the rest OF the
World better than their fathers nave.
Americans will lament that the ma ority
OF films do not present our life more
faithfully, especially as they would
then be better and more entertaining
pictures Of ourselves. But there's no
great harm being done.
Here at last is universal language
that needs no grammar like Volapuk or
Esperanto The trumpet sounds the
same notes in al languages, fish are
caught largely in the same ways, pic
lures mean much the same thing And
II we can understand other folks bit
better, especially = We set the under
standing naturally. we shall get along
with them better

Americas Delegates

The United States will have only
four delegates to the Conference on
the Limitation Of Armament. what
ever number any other country may
send, Each delegation will have but
one vote. Representation is there
fore more question Of quality than
Of quantity.
There can be little dissent from
President Harding's view that the
four men whom he has already
named - Messrs. Hughes, Root,
Lodge and Underwood-can deal
adequately with all issues before the
conference. This delegation is some
thing more than adequate. 1t is e:s-
ceptionally competent and well
rounded and is brilliantly fitted for
its tasks. Secretary Hughes, MI.
Root and Mr.. Lodge aye ali experts
in the field Of foreign affairs. Since
assuming the Secretaryship Of State
the first named has shown a grasp
and vision which rank him among
the most distinguished holders Of
chat office. MIR. Root is former
Secretary OF State and former
Secretary Of War and is the fore
most American authority or inter-
national la7v and practice. Mr..
Lodge has been for many yes' rs
leading member Of the Senate For
eign Relations Committee, and is
now its chairman. Mr.. Underwood
has not the detailed technical knowl-
edge Of foreign affairs which the
others have; but he is a statesman
Of long experience and riparcd judg
nent, thoroughly familiar with the
general aims cf American foreign
policy.
Mr.. Hughes represents the Admin
istration. Mr.. Lodge and Mr.. IN
derwood represent the Senate and
the two party groups in it, The for
mer being the majority leader and
the latter tic minority leader. Mr..
Root represents the public and, more
especially, that body of intelligent
opinion striving for fuller enforce
ment Of international law and for
larger international cooperation,
which has long looked to him for
leadership.
EIr. Harding couldn't we'll have
picked a stronger, better balanced
delegation. The Democratic Senate
caucus the other day expressed the
highest satisfaction at Mr.. Under
woods selection. President Wilson
ignored the opposition party when he
chose his peace conference delegates.
President Harding has given the
opposition party representation
which contents it. The delegation to
the arms conference will have the
full support Of the country, not only
because it is able but also because it
is eminently national in character.

1t was a the Hague fortyhve years
ago that the International Law Asso-
citation held its second meeting Its
name at that time was Association
, for tho Reform and Codihcation Of the
Law of Nations" a rather unwieldy
title for which some years ago the
present one was substituted. This
years gathering showed the largest
muster Of the association on record
AS many as 800 members came spe-
cially to attend the sttings, in addition
TO about 200 Dutch members. Just as
after the war Of lS70-'7l, there has
been a great revival OF interest in in

as justifcatio for interfering with it.

however, they separated into two dis

French biologist, who spoke before

Hearst now says Hedley is right. If

a fare? Obviously, the only conceiv-
able way to force a balance and keen

The Slaughter Of the Ch.ilelrel1

To the announcement OF the Health
Commissioner that the death rate in
this city last week was the lowest in
its history we gladly volunteer the
addition that it was one Of the low
est, if not actually the lowest, ever
recorded for q city Of anything like
New York's size. But in the same
aper was the news Of the killing of
several children in the streets by
motor vehicles, casualty so COM
mon as to have perceptible effect
upon the death rate.
Such deaths are due to three gen
eral cause.-the criminal reckless
ness Of drivers, the suicidal reckless
ness of children, and, finally, the en-
forced use Of the streets as play
grounds. Punish the drivers, train
the children, but, above all, give
them play space. The parks and the
few public Fairgrounds are too far
away to be accessible.
The town needs another Jacob
Riis. As things are it has Hylan,
who, though 10 be acquitted of active
animosity to Fairgrounds, is so
much more concerned in looking out
for the welfare Of his Tammany
friends that there is no public money
for their purchase.

An Unemployable E1ousemaid

y
TO the Editor Of The Tribune.
Sir: II the good old days before
the war we had maid who had been
with us for more than ten years. One
fine morning she gave US half-hour's
notice and went to WORK as guard in
the B. Z. T. subway. My wife was a
bit sore at losing her maid SO sud-
denly, but | rather admired the latter
when so many of the men were "ovcr
there" But have you noticed any
alac-ity on the part Of the women in
passing back the mons jobs when The
men returned?
The next reel shows our former
maid drawing still more inflated wages
in munition factory ever in Jersey.
This plant did not close Immediately
at the aruisticc but Hilda has now
been out Of work for about a year,
and, aside from an occasional days
WORK for my wife and few other
favored ones, she is still among the
Unemployed"
She is unemployed because she is
unemployable. We have urged her TO
return to brighten our home once more
at an advance Of 80 per cent over her
pre-war wage-l00 per cert more
than the increase in my salary during
the last five years. Her present in
tentior, however, az nearly as | can
gather, is patiently to await revival
Of the munition-nahing industry.
