Wages High, Ships Idle.
III Costs Were Cut More American
Vessels Might Be Used.

TO THE NEW York HERALD: Due to
depressed, business conditions about
three-hfths of the American merchant
marine is laid up and the same. pro-
portion Of. marine workers are out Of
work.
A great proportion Of these men have
been out OF work for from six, months
to one year while foreign vessels are
carrying American products The ship
owners contend that due to the higher
wages paid in our vessels they cannot
with foreign vessels. What are
the marine organizations doing to rem
edy this condition?
~ Why are the leaders Of those organiza-
tions. unholding the wages OF the few
who are. working at the cost Of the ma
jnritya who are rout Of work? 1t would
appear to be common sense. for them to
meet the ship owners and adjust wages
So that American ships would have scne
show OF competing
Such adjusting of wages could be
made temporarily and new agreements
entered into as shipping condition
changed. AMERICAN MARINER.

Edmond Clement Gives Song Recital
Former Metropolitan Opera Artist Heard for First
Time in Eight Years

Edmond Clement, who was at one time
a popular idol among the music lovers Of
this town. has returned and gave his
first song recital last evening in Aeolian
Hall. He had not been heard here since
early in 1918. when he gave concerts
similar to that OF last evening, 1t was
even before 1913 that he sang at the
Metropolitan Opera House. where his
Chevalier des Gricur' in "Manon" was
regarded as the last summit of excel
lence by all those who had never heard
or. had forgotten Jean de ResEke.
M. Clement put group Of opera air in
the middle of his programme last eve
ming. the flower song from Carmen"
the dream from "Manon." and less ia
miliar excerpt from .Griselidis.' The
second time. His delivery Of It was not
as finished and delicate as 1t was ten
years ago. but It was correct in style
and fragrant In sentiment. The manner
of his presentation Of this number should
have been lesson In style to some of
the singers and teachers in the audience
M. Clement was less successful In the
Carmen" air. In the first place he was
hoarse. and in the second his voice Is
less fluid than it used to be. There were
vocal subterfuges in the flower song
such as the tenor would have scorned
had he been in perfect command Of his
powers. 1t is unnecessary to make
catalogue of the Debussy. Cesar Franck
and other songs on his list.
His singing throughout the evening
was. as it used to be. conspicuous for
the extraordinary ability Of the artist
to carry down head tones and to cross
them with the medium whenever 1t
suited his purpose. This feature Of his
technic should be carefully observed by
every student of singing. His taste in
phrasing and nuancing was always adj
mirable, but last evening taste had to
yield at times to the vocal exigencies Of
the moment. NJ. Clement was heard by
q very large and enthusiastic audience.

Killing OFF the Antelope.
The Extinction Of a Unique American
Animal Is Threatened.

To THE New YORK HERALD The
prong horn antelope Is one of the very
few North American animals peculiar to
tae continent and without close relations
anywhere in the world. 1t formerly
ranged from near the Mississippi River
west to the Pacific Ocean and from
western Canada south well into Mexico.
In primitive times. and indeed within
the memory of living men. 1t was the
most abundant Of the larger animals Of
the prains---more numerous, many of. US
believe. than the buffalo.
J.. Like many other wild creatures that
formerly were enormously numerous
the wild pigeon and the buffalo, for ex-
ample--tae antelope has disappeared be-
fore the advancing settlement of the
country. There is no place left for him.
To-day this unique animal appears to be
en- the verge of extinction.
Though almost everywhere protected
by law its numbers are constantly grow
ing smaller. so that In place OF the
millions that once existed on the plains
there arc now apparently but very few
thousands. Some Of these are in the
drier. less settled portion of the plains
in Canada, and there are still q good
many arid Mexico. - fstA
"A. small. group Of these animals has
long been known to occupy territory in
eastern Oregon and northern Nevada
lust along the boundary between these
two States and since the country is
valueless for agriculture some efforts
have been made to have n refuge set
apart there for the protection of the
antelope, and Incidentally Of the sage
hen our largest grouse. which also Is
constantly becoming fewer in numbers.
OF late years. however. OUTFITS Of sheep
have been driven into this area occupied
by the antelope. and II is reported tina,
the sheep men declare that they purpose
TO Kill off all the antelope SO that there
shall he no excuse for asking the Gov
ernment to establish. an antelope refuge
in that district.
News recently received in the East
from people In Nevada declares that an
Official of the Biological Survey and his
deputy recently spent some days riding
the antelope range. where they saw
many antelope. and lust across the State
line in oregon they counted fourteen
carcasses OF antelope that had been shot
down and left. The carcasses We're ex-

them. and no portion of'the animals had
been used. The killing was wanton.

The Madness of Labor.
A Railway Strike Offers Chance Ia

To THE New York HERALD: For

organized by clever and powerful
method, declares its readiness to para
lyze or entirely destroy the railroads

commercial life of our country.
In the madness, of their strength. the
misery. sickness and death which would
follow their heartless action. and which
will be chiefly the portion of the women
and children of the poorer classes. mean
nothing to them. for nothing counts with
them but money.
The railroads should not yield to these
Icgalized holdup brotherhoods. The
sympathy. OF the nation is not with
them as strikers and no better oppor-
tunity will ever be afforded to fght
them and beat them. Millions of strong
men and unemployed stand anxiously
ready for the work, and there could be
no greater triumph Of law and order In
the sterilization of the American Re-
public than to do away with the eternal
threat OF labor unions to- starve our
people into making submission to their
demands. p.

A Distinguished French Visitor.

New York yesterday welcomed a
distinguished guest of the American
Legion in Brigadier-General CHARLES
j. M. PAyoT, who as chairman Of the
Military Board of Allied Supply had
no small part in the successes which
came to the armies of the European
allies and America in the world war.
He was accompanied by Captain
CHARLES DE MARENCHEs Of the
French Infantry, who upon General
PERsHINe's arrival in France was ap-
pointed special liaison officer, repre-
senting the French High Command
at the American High Command
For the valuable service which Cap
tain DE MARENcHEs rendered In this
capacity he was honored by the
United States Government with the
Distinguished Service Medal.
Brigadier-General PAYor was a
staff officer under both General
FocH and General PErA1N. While
serving under the former at the War
College he formulated, in conjunction
with the British War Office, the plans
for the utilization Of the French rail
ways in the case of German attack
upon, France. The success which at
tended these plans at the beginning
of the German invasion of northeast
ern France led to his appointment
as Assistant Chief of Staff to General
PETAIN and his complete control OF
the French railways as well as OF
the service of supplies to the quar-
termaster ordnance, signal corps and
automobile transport departments.
From this post he was subsequently
promoted to the chairmanship Of the
Military Board of Allied Supply.
In recognition Of the faithful per.
formance, of the duties of his high
Offices and of his helpfulness to the
Americans in France General PER-
sHING himself bestowed upon him
the Distinguished Service Medal of
the United States Army. Brigadier.
General PAyor was received by spe.
cial representatives of the War De
partment and receptions in his honor

Colors il, the Seas.
Where the Water Appears Blue, Red
Nps~ and Green.
FROM the London Daiiu Mqi,

.4.. IroDb the London DnflU 4uGil.
Placed In vase. sea water appears
perfectly transparent and oolorless. yet
when gathered in large mass 1t reveals
o number of beautiful colois, the most
common being flne azure blue. This
coloring Of the sea IL caused by filtra-
ticn Of the suns rays through the in
Vulnerable small salt particles held In
suspension in the water.
The Mediterranean. which holds an
unusual proportion Of these salts. is blue
to excess. The polar seas also are de-
scribed as being of brilliant ultramarine
blue. SO are the waters of the equinoc-
tlal Atlantic, while the Pacific APP
proaches more nearly to indigo. AL!
four. however, are alike In one respect.
Near shore the color changes and be-
comes green: sometimes such an in
tense green as to appear almost black.
When the waters are agitated the green
changes to a brownish hue. Beneath a
calm sunset the surface seems lit up with
all manner of delicate tints--pink. topaz.
emerald and purple.
Many local causes influence the color
of marine waters and give them certain
decided and constant shades. A bottom,
OF white sand causes grayish or apple
green color. In the Bay o" Loango the
water appears to be a deep red owing
to the red bottom.
Around the coasts of New Zealand are
seas in which countless floating red
animalcules cause the water to adopt a
crimson complexion. known to local fish
ermen as "whale-spawn red" Nearer
home there are in the south of France
salt marshes where red sea water Is
concentrated, but the color is due to the
presence Of red shelled parasite OF
microscopic size. The salt lakes OF the
watershed of Great Tibet owe their color
to the same cause. The tiny creatures
are present in their millions. but do not
appear until the salt water has attained
certain degree OF concentration. and
disappear Just as mysteriously when a
further density Is reached.
OFF the coasts OF japan the sea Is
yellow, and to the west of the Canaries
II is a vivid green. Near Callao, the port
OF Lima, in Peru, the water Is olive
colored. while near Cape Palmas and
along the Gulf Of Guinea the ship often
appears 20 be moving in a sea of milk.

The iron and coal regions are d.
vided between the two countries.

The iron and coal regions are d.
vided between the two countries.
For fifteen years, however. raw
products from both sides of the line
are to pass duty free to other parts
OF the industrial zone, and Germany
is during this same period to fur
nish a proportion Of iron ore to Po-
land and Poland is to furnish pro-
portion Of coal from her mines to
Germany. Other provisions are made
for the safe conduct from one zone
to another of workmen, for the Joint
use of the railway, for the govern
ment of the region and for "the pro-
lection of the economic unity of the
Silesian industrial region
theoretically this plan would ap-
pear to- be more satisfactory to the
two most interested nations than any
other proposed. The Peoples party,
representing the industrial interests
of the country, is the chief opponent
OF the decision in Germany. The
Paris bureau of THE New YORK
HERALD. discussing the German po-
sition, says:
what Germany actually loses
materially in Upper Slesia under
the decision consists principally OF
tax resources and the possibility of
including Silesian factories and mines
in any national economic programme.
The entire province was expected to
bear precisely e-thirteenth OF the
total German tax burden this year,
In which indirect and direct taxes
would be about equally represented"
1t is, however, pointed out that
only small geographical part of
Upper Silesia is lost to Germany, that
practically all the business transac-
tions will be with Germany and that
as soon as either raw material or
manufactured products cross the
frontiers they will be subject to a
turnover tax, which is certain to be
increased this autumn. Another fac
tor which will have its weight in
Germany is that France and Great
Britain are apparently not now in op-
posing camps on the Silesian con-
troversy and that the allied nations
are really in a position to force the
carrying out of the provisions of the
present settlement.
