A Small Dog Ahoat.

When the ferryboat Edgewater left
10th street at S:45 on Thursday
morning she carried her usual contin-
gent of morning passengers for New
Jersey, most Of them undoubtedly af-
flicted with a consuming desire 20 get
to the west side OF the North River
as soon as possible. Few indeed are
those in or near New York who are
not convinced that their time above
all the time used by all others is
money.
In the middle Of the river one of
the deck hands on the ferryboat
caught sight Of a small dog adrift
on cake OF ice. The deck hand
told the captain; the captain sur
veyed the unfortunate dog, and the
ferryboat was turned from her course
to rescue that iinperilled beastie.
Half an hour was required to get
the dog on board the ferryboat, and
quartermaster got a ducking In the
process. The ferry schedule went to
smash, and the busy passengers were
all detained.
Did they raise row because OF
this interruption OF their trip and
the consequent delay in the prosecu.
ton of their business or pleasure ?
They did not. Instead they gave
every evidence OF enjoying the Incl
dent. They eagerly crowded to the
rail' when the quartermaster went
over the side, gasped when he took
his wetting, held their breaths while
sailor dexterous with the boathook
helped him nnd the dog TO the deck.
Undoubtedly some persons were I'm
convenlenced through this display of
humanity by the Edgewater's skip.

Oh, for the Old Greek Pilotl

The invitation of the Supreme Coun-
ell to Turkey and Greece to send dele
gates to q conference at London for
the reconsideration of the Sevres
treaty has been very differently re-
ceived by the two Governments. Tur-
key as represented by the Sultan at
Constantinople has announced its in
tention not only to send q delegate
but also to urge MusTAPHA KEMAL
Pasha as the head OF the Turkish
Natlonalists to be represented. Greece,
according to all the reports from
Athens, has not accepted the invita-
tlon and hesltates to take any action
regarding it. The point over which
the Government Is quibblng is that
the invitation apparently places the
two countries upon the same plane
and does not refer to Greece as an
allied nation.
Greece, in fact, for the first time
has been brought face to face with
the conditions growing out OF the
return of CONSTANTINE and the over
throw of the venizelos Government
Some Of the boasts made by the Greek
Natlonallsts that they could carry on
their country without outside aid and
that they were still able TO hold the
territory obtained by yENIzELos
through the force OF their own arms
they have In q measure made good.
They have kept an army in the field
and they have lost little II any terri
tory, principally because the arms and
munitions with which the Allies sup
piled Greece have not been exhausted.
There has been In reality no decisive
action in Asia Minor, despite the COM
munlques sent out by both the Greeks
and the Nationalists A striking evi.
dence Of this Is that the victories
recently reported by the commanders
Of both forces before Brusn were not
won, because the twos forces we're so
wary that they never actually clashed.
The reports we're made by the two
contestants purely Tor the political
effect they might have.
The present Greek Government fears
that in the crisis brought about by
a reconsideration Of the Sevres treaty
It may be compelled to surrender
some Of the advantages which were
gained for the Hellenic kingdom by
vENIzELos. TO report defeat at the
conference to the Greek people would
place the self-confident, self-contained
Government in a humIliating position
On the other hand, the Greek hold
on Asia Minor is not being strength
ened and there must eventually come
n time when the present military sup.
plies will be exhausted and when ar

Poems Worth Reading.
The Journey.

And now fancy you across the might
Swift hurrying beneath the march Of
stars.
The glinting wheels upon tho Ions
chill bars
Revolving as they whirl in spectral
flight:
Sometimes among the hills a phantom
light
Is seen. then gone. as the on-plung-
Ing cars
With lurch and swirl and multitude
nous Jars
Reel toward the bourn to loom ere long
In sight.
Hour follows hour as il some maddened
thing
Bore you through blackness on your
journeying;
Then In the east a sudden fieck OF
foam
Becomes the dawn; there is the peer OF
sun;
And now at last your wandering is
done;
Here are your lovers arms, :.nd
Welcome home!'

Punishment for Fool Firebugs.

In Massachusetts the lawmakers
are considering sensible proposal to
enact statute under which persons
who through negligence cause de-
structive fires might be held respon-
sible for the damage done.
Under such a law the man or
woman who threw lighted match
into waste basket and thus set fire
to house would have to pay for the
careless act. The smoker who threw
lighted cigarette or cigar on an
awning might be brought to account.
The householder who allowed cur
tain to blow into an open gas flame
would be called to court to pay for
his folly.
To an extent unknown in this coun-
try European nations have made it a
practice to penalize persons respon-
sible for fires Generally in the United
States, however, even the grossest
carelessness causing a fire goes un-
punished, and prosecutions have been
few except in cases of deliberate
incendiarism.
In New York city chimney fires re-
sulting from failure to keep fues
properly cleaned lay the householder
open to fine. The power of the city to
compel the installation Of automatic
sprinklers and fire apparatus is we'll
established. In November, 1912, the
owners of building In East Ninety
ninth street were ordered to install
automatic sprinklers. They neglected
to obey. A fire occurred in the base
ment OF the building January 81,
1914, and spread to adjoining build
ings. 1t was cxtinguished with great
difficulty by the Fire Department.
Commissioner ADAMsoN brought an
action to compel the owners to bear
the expense of putting out the fire.
The Special Term Of the Supreme
Court sustained the defendants de-
murrer and Mr.. ADAMsoN appealed.
The Appellate Division reversed the
lower court, and held:
can owner OF property in the city
OF New York who fails to install a
system OF automatic sprinkIers in
compliance with an order of the Fire
Commissioner may be held liable for
tho expenses OF fighting a fire which
would not have been necessary IL
the order had been cou1piind with
This. upon the ground of 'wilful or
culpable negligence within the mean
ing OF Section 7e1 OF the Charter
This decision was in line with the
sentiment OF all who have studied the
problem of fire control. 1t Is recog-
nized that Americans are extraordi-
narily reckless with fire, and our an
nual fire loss in property and lives
is shocking indictment Of our heed
lessness. 1t has been impressed on
us In recent years that fire preven-
tion Is better than fire extinguish-
ment, and much energy has been ex-
pended in educating the public in this
respect. There still remain many in
dividuals who give little heed to the
dictates Of ordinary prudence in the
use of fire, however, and they de-
serve punishment for their dangerous
misconduct in the manner in which
the projected Massachusetts statute
would inflict ii.

Dividing Capitals Share.
What Would Happen II an Even

To THE NEW York HERALD: In 1919
there were sixty-seven persons in tho
United States each OF whom received
an income OF from f1.000,000 TO f5.ooo,-

II this superincome Of sixty-seven per-
sons in 1918 had been equally divided
among the oo.0o0.oo6 population Of the
United States each person would have
received sf.44 for his share. II Il had

workers, whom tho radicals are no fond

Lower Rail Wages and Rates.

Railroad men of brain power and
vision have deplored equally with
shippers and consumers the necessity
Of heavy increases In traffic rates. To
such dominant minds of the transpor-
tation business nothing was ever
more idiotic than the now celebrated
suit Of underwear argument, under
taking TO show what a mere trife
was added to those garments by the
higher shipping charges from Lowell,
Massachusetts, to Chicago. They knew
that 1t was not merely the single suit
of underwear which must cost the con-
sumer more but every single commod-
ity used by every single person in the
whole country. They knew that pill
ing some three billions Of dollars
year of added transportation bills
on the American people from first to
last meant $3.50 year more for the
average American family TO pay.
They knew then that only the des-
perate transportation situation, caused
equipment costs, capital costs, and
all other costs of railroading, could
justify as a temporary emergency
measure rate increases that were
bound, when they were too high, like
the price of beef, or clothes, or shoes,
or anything else, to shrivel the nor-
NAL volume of traffic. They would
rather have transportation charges
come down right now, with operating
costs coming down correspondingly,
than to have traffic rates go up.
They know that traffic rates cannot
come down unless labor costs, calling
now for hundreds Of millions more
than all the former railroad costs
put together, come down.
: The one thing that is more terrible
to intelligent and competent railroad
men than hauling all the cars and
hauling them full at traffic rate that
Is not profitable is hauling empty
passenger cars and jamming up the
sidings and storage tracks with idle
freight cars. An inadequate rate on
heavy traffic is heart breaking, but
traffic stopping rate is death.
With improved operating efficiency,
cheaper supplies and more reasonable
equipment the railroads can give
every dollar of rational wage reduc-
tion to the public In lower traffic rates
and be better off than ever they can
be with topheavy traffic rates that
crush out business.
Carriers are no different in the eco-
nomic structure OF the nation from
farmers, manufacturers and mer-
chants. They must all join forces to
stimulate business with a price to the
public that is right. They must all
do their share in lifting the murder
Gus cost pressure Off production and
distribution which If allowed to go
on would doom labor TO suffer pro-
tracted unemployment and business
to perish OF dry rot.
The railroads are prepared for ac-
tion looking to traffic rate reductions.
Are railroad workers, rapidly losing
their jobs as traffic dies, ready to
lend a hand?

Useful Poison Gas.

A curious by-product Of the war
Is the turning loose Of the army
chemical service to aid the Depart
ment Of Agriculture in fighting the
boil weevil, the insect which for many
years has played havoc with the cot
ton crop in large areas Of the South.
This plague has cost the country hun
dreds Of millions in destruction Of
crops and millions In efforts for its
eradication. Close quarantine on
seeds has been tried and the burning
of infected plants has been practised
wholesale, but the results have been
so far very unsatisfactory.
The use of gas Is not altc Their a
new idea. Hydrocyanic acid has been
used for the disinfection of carloads
Of seeds. But the new plan Is ito
lay down barrage of poison gas"
quite after the method Of active war
fare in regions Of the cotton States
where the presence Of the weevjl has
been detected. The same gas that
has been evolved for use In the
trenches is to be used. Brigadier-
General FRIES, chief of the service,
says that experiments already made
promise good results.
Poison gas is being tried for the ex-
termination of locusts in the Philip
pines; if successful there no doubt 1t
will be used to stop periodic devas-
tation from this cause. IT Is also un-
der experiment as check to the rat
population and it's evil ways. Here
1t would seem, the danger to human
population might be an impediment,
but 1t is said to have worked well in
trial applications along wharves and
pier lines.
There is at least hope of humap
benefit from this new line Of effort.
1t will be a fortunate thing indeed
II device invented for purposes Of
death and destruction may be turned

lition Of creatures which destroy ma

task at the beginning will demand
what VENIzELos promised. demobili-
zation- In the meahtime the Nation
alist force continues to exist and the
movement which 1t sustains has grown
through the support given by many
men prominently connected with the
Sultan's Government. The fact that
the Constantinople Government asks
that the Nationalists be represented
at the conference is an evidence Of a
change Of sentiment in their favor
among the ruling classes.
What gives the situation it's gravest
aspect to many Greeks Is the fact that
there is apparently no one among
their Representatives who could go
TO the conference with a chance Of
success The former Premier, VENT
zELos, could because he has solved
more difficult Greek problems and Is
thoroughly familiar with the condi-
tions. The independent and oprosi-
ton newspapers declare that he alone
Is able to handle the situation, and
the Pdtris, one of the most influential
of Athenian papers, calls upon the
National Assembly as it's. first act
upon meeting tomorrow to name
vENrzELos as the representative of
Greece. In view Of the fact that he
has definitely announced his retire
ment from Greek politics It may be
doubtful II VENIzELos would accept
the mission. But the policies which
he is asked to sustain are those which
he himself outlined for the upbuild-
ing Of Greece. So big man as vENI-
zELos could well afford to rise above
national political conditions to serve
his country by helping 1t to hold its
position among the nations Of the
world.
