knew of their existence. but after a
fruitless search abandoned hope Of
their discovery. stating in his history
that "a veil of mystery shrouded the
events of 1876 and 1s47 in the Sacra-

about a year after these papers were
written they were abandoned in the
mountains of New Mexico, where they
remained for an unknown period. There
Is no evidence to show just when they
came into the hands Of Edward M.
Kern. the artist of the Fremont ex-

A Tribute From One Who Studied
Journalism Under Him.

To THE New YORK HERALD: AS one
OF the students Of journalism under
John 3. Bogart the great city editor
Of THE SUN. I wish to pay my tribute

When recall my days of cub report

upon me find no words SO ft with
which TO express my thoughts as those
that appeared in THE NEW YORK HER

dren were comfortable. The expert
ments showed that If wholesome
luncheons were furnished to the pu-
pills, followed by rest period, the i'm
provement was material; without the
luncheons it was less noticeable. The
beneficial results, however, were clear
cut and conclusive.
The pupils selected for the open
air treatment were those who were
an@mic or were low in vitality. The
experimental school in Montclair
demonstrated that with clean air,
wholesome food and physical comfort
a child with an an@mic and feeble
body could acquire health, knowl-
edge and moral education at the
same time. 1t also demonstrated
the fact that in poorly equipped
school of the sort, without STAFF
trained to conduct 1t, the investment
was useless and the money wasted.
All that can be done to relieve
the children of war devastated coun-
tries of the blight that has been cast
upon them should be done. Whole.
some surroundings and skilled train
ing are necessary to bring these little
ones to a normal condition, but If
human life is worth anything the
investment will be a good one.

There is fact and force in the con-
tention of the American Petroleum
Institute that waste from oil burning
ships is not solely responsible for
pollution of our coastal waters and
consequent injury to the fisheries and
fouling of the beaches. Buoyant
waste of many kinds is dumped at
sea too close to the shore. That has
long been an abuse. Complaints con-
cerning it have been common and
have often compelled steps toward re-
form. But this is not growing evil.
On the whole, there has been a dimi-
mutton of the garbage nuisance on the
beaches in the last twenty years.
The oil nuisance, on the other hand,
has become steadily worse. In the
last two years it has created condi-
tions on shores near New York, in
some instances, which have been all
but intolerable. Those responsible
for this situation show little dispo-
sition to mend their ways. Instead
their conduct appears to be worse
rather than better.
The great increase in the number
Of oil burning steamships raises prob
lens of its own. Disposal Of waste
Is one Of them. 1t is not an insol-
uble problem. Many much more in
tricate questions Of conflicting pub
lie and private rights have been
raised and successfully met in the
course of transportation evolution.
There is no reason why there should
not be a satisfactory disposition Of
this one as we'll as Of those which
have gone before. Commerce is not
going to abandon oil burners; the
public is not going to abandon its
fisheries or the beaches.
The Petroleum Institute complains
that bills now pending In Congress
are discriminatory-that they are
levelled solely at pollution by oil to
the exclusion OF other forms Of pol.
luton Of public waters. II this be
the case, the proposed measures are
to that extent defective. It is not
merely oil but all other forms of
pollution that must be controlled.
But II all forms Of water contamina-
tion cannot be reached by one enact
ment, then it is eminently fitting that
reform should begin with oil. for oil
is the offender most flagrantly in
evidence.

Jugo-Slavia and Albania met in the
salon Of the President of the French
Senate Friday and, promising to
forget the past and to be good
in the future, brought to an end, off,
cially speaking, their recent war.
like demonstrations. The Albanians
emerged from the dispute with the
advantage rather in their favor; the
boundary line for which they con-
tended and which was laid down
by the Council Of Ambassadors is
accepted and the Jugo-Slavs are to
cease making incursions into Al
banian territory.
This latest difference between these
two Balkan peoples was first brought
to the attention of Europe three
months ago, when Fra NoLI, the
fighting Bishop of Albania, protested
to the League Council at Geneva that
Albania, a member Of the League,
had been attacked by Jugo-Slavia,
another member. He declared that
Serb troops had appeared on the bor-
der and were bombarding Albanian
towns and killing Albanian high
landers. The Jugo-Slav representa-
tive admitted part Of the charge, but
said that the Serbs had as good right
in the region as the Albanians, and
that as for the bombardment, such
things are occurring there all the
time and it has no Importance"
NoLI's appeal, however, had the
effect of interesting the Council Of
Ambassadors and that body decided
that the boundary fixed in 1913 by the
London Conference should remain
unchanged, and that the disputed
territory should go to Albania.
There is more or less truth in the
statement of the Jugo-Slav represen-
tative that the frontier region was
"at no time place where either Serb
or Albanian ought to walk in the
dark" and that even those of the
same race and faith make the mis-.
take of not recognizing each other
The matter was complicated not only
by the mixture of races but by the
question Of a central market and the
division Of distinctly Albanian tribes
between the two countries.
To regard as the beginning of the
dispute between Serb and Albanian
the warlike demonstration of three
months ago is scarcely correct. The
difference arose centuries ago and
there has always been bad blood be-
tween the two races, the Albanians
insisting t-,.L the Serbs were covet-
ing their territory and Serbs holding
that the Albanians we're too pugna.
cious as neighbors to get along with.
out strong power to restrain them.
1t will be fortunate for the Balkans
il the dispute is settled, for this
small strip of territory has always
been fruitful source of trouble. It
was fought over by Austrian and
Serbian diplomats in the past; it is
in way key to the vardar Valley
and to Macedonia, and it lies in the
line of direct communication be-
tween the Adriatic ports and the in
terror Of the Balkan peninsula. 1t
becomes thus matter of Importance
not only to Jugo-Slavia and Albania
but to Greece and to Italy.

The Packer Employees Leading
the Way.

Talk about unemployment RENE.
dies and cost of living relief was not
good enough for the hard headed
workers in the packing plants when
their jobs we're fading away; they
got up and did something. They
looked into the conditions which
were paralyzing the great industry
where the country's meat foods are
prepared for consumption, found the
trouble was excessive labor costs and
volunteered to cut their wages.
If the railroad wage earners, the
coal miners, the workers in the
building trades and other industries
would follow straightway the lead
Of the packers employees instead Of
stalling economic readjustment while
the basic industries suffer from dry
rot the public would not have to go
on waiting and praying for American
business to get up steam: it would find
itself riding on a nationwide boom.
The workers in the packing plants,
slaughter pens and stock yards of
the great West, in truth, have more
economic sense than Congress has.
They are better industrial recon
structionists than the United States
Railroad Labor Board is. There is
no difference in effect between a
manufacturing cost that kills busi-
ness and transportation charge
that kills business. There is no diff
ference in effect between a manu-
featuring cost or transportation
charge that kills business and a gov
ernment tax that kills business.
Tens of thousands of workers in
the meat products industry who vol
unteer to reduce the high labor costs
which are paralyzing the business
upon which their livelihoods depend
must have fine opinion of ma
tional Congress which cannot or will
not see what they see. They must
look for the finish of United States
Railroad Labor Board which does
Lot do what they do.
If the Railroad Labor Board will
not let excessive operating costs Of
the railroads come down it hinders
the free distribution of the commodi-
ties which have had their production
costs brought down. If the United
States Congress taxes oppressively
the business of producing meat or
else, taxes oppressively the
business Of distributing meat or any
else, taxes oppressively the
essential functions Of trade agencies,
then the workers in the packing in
dustry specifically and the workers
and consumers in the country gen.
orally are the sufferers from such
legislative blunder and humbug.
The man FREAR, who stood up in
the House of Representatives last
week sneering at the President OF
the United States for urging a sane
tax rate which would let capital stay
in business and operate business.
asked the members how they were
going to answer to their constituents
for their record with mere letter
from the President. How are the
Frears in Congress going to answer
to the employees in the packing in-
dustry and to other clear-eyed work.
