Shots in Busy Streets.
Policemen Accused of Being Too Free
i'm the Use of RevOlvers.

To THE NEW YORK HERALD: Within
the last few days the daily papers have
given accounts of shooting done by de-
tectiveS and policemen In their efforts
to arrest negro and two deserters.
No one will quarrel with an officer
of the law In making arrests. But is II
not time for the Police Department to
curb detectives and policemen in the
promiscuous use of the revolver? Rather
a thousand criminals should go free than
one innocent citizen should be manned
for life or perhaps killed. Is it not
absurd that a policeman should use n
revolver in a busy thoroughfare and
jeopardize the lives of good citizens
simply TO arrest deserter7
While there may be excuse for the
use of the revolver where a murderer
is concerned. there can be no excuse for
the use OF a revolver where deserter
in times of peace. an automobile thief
or other minor offenders are concerned.

Will Hays, P. M. C.

The public and the press have felt
much concern over the appointment
of WIIL HAYS as Postmaster-General
on the ground that he is politician.
1t is true that he is a politician and
a good one. 1t is also true that the
qualities that have made him leader
in politics make him leader of men,
and the Post Office Department needs
leadership.
WILL HAYS is an unusual man. He
is n rare combination of imagination,
vision, initiative, nervous energy and
dynamic force, with Il clever mind
and an extraordinary capacity for
work. As the executive head of the
Post Office Department he is certain
to speed it up and generally to reor-
ganize and revitalize it. Instead OF
developing it into greater political
machine than 1t now is, if that be
possible, he proposes to take it out OF
politics and place 1t on a sound bust
ness basis.
THE NEW YORK HERALD expects
much of WILL HAYS, and as mem
her of the Harding Cabinet he will
bring to 1t real strength.

The Belgian Loan Shock.

The so-called Belgian loan under
standing, kept a deep secret from the
American people for the better part
of two years, is simply dumfounding.
Reduced to its simplest form this
was an agreement by Mr.. WILSON in
the days of the widest Covenant
dreams to recommend to Congress
that Belgium give the United States
Treasury German indemnity bonds to
satisfy Belgium's millions of debt TO
us. Then not only would Belgium
have owed US nothing but the United
States Government would have been
landed in the abhorrent position of
being compelled to take part in the
international operation of putting the
screws on the German people to
squeeze the last penny that could be
squeezed out of them.
There would have been no escape
from this dilemma, because as par
ticipator in the proceeds of the Ger
man indemnity, in spite of our hav-
ing disclaimed from first to last of
the war any such intention, our
bonds could yield only their proper
tionate share of the total that could
be forced out of Germany.
Our Liberty bond subscribers, who
put up the money which was lent to
Belgium, as to Great Britain, France,
Italy and the others, either could
have surrendered their Liberty bonds
for German bonds or could have re-
fused to make the unwelcome cx-
change and waited to have their own
Liberty bonds redeemed out Of forced
German indemnity payments-some-
thing never contemplated by them
when they subscribed to the LIBERTY
Loans, as always scornfully disa-
vowed by the United States Gov
ernment in behalf of the American
people.
This secret Belgian loan under
standing of Mr.. WILSON never can be
carried out in the way he intended 1T
should be. The thing is unthinkable.
But the fact that it was planned, that
IL was hidden from the American peo-
pie, that it was dug up in the last
hours Of the Wilson Administration,
when its furniture was being moved
out, so to speak, is q national shock.

Persian Government Falls.

The overthrow Of the Persian Gov

about by an armed force of Nation

by which the change Of Government
was secured becomes thus Of less i'm
portance than the object to be at

this revolutionary overturn.
The force which occupied the Per-
sian capital and took over the control
Of the Government is a body OF Ma

General REzA Khan. These Cossacks
before the world war were the most

Plays Tschaikovsky's Symphony.

a red letter day marked the history OF
Tschaikovsky's Pathetic" symphony as
heard in New York yesterday at Car
negie Hall when the work was played
under the baton of Willem Mengelberg
at the National Symphony Orchestra's s
concerts. Its old bones took on new life,
flesh and vitality. Color, balance,
sorority, highly polished tone and dra-
matte power were features of this read
ing. The programme opened with an
overture entitled "Cyrano de Bergerac," I"
by Johan Wagenaar, which was played
here for the first time. The composer
is a distinguished Dutch musician, now
the director of the Royal Conservatory
of Music at The Hague. He has written
many works in many FORMS including
two operas and a symphonic poem,
saul and David The music is of
clear melodic form, orchestrated with
skill, and while not highly distinguished.

standing. dash and assurance. In the
accompaniment, however. the orchestra
seemed to carry off solo honors for

metal monoplane," as Superintendent
STAUNToN described it yesterday.
Says the Superintendent: I'VE have
withdrawn from service all planes of
this type until we can determine the
defects"
Why, in the name of humanity,
should not the defects of an airplane
be found by the companies that sell
the machines to the Government?
They have all the air above all the
land and sea to test their devices in.
There are plenty of machines that
viii fly long and well. Why burn up
men and mail merely TO discover that
there is some horrible defect in the
Post Office Departments latest air
plane investment?
SO far the air mail has been an
interesting novelty. But it has not
been of great service TO the public.
And it has cost the lives of twenty
six men. To lose thirteen pilots in
a service which never has had more
than fifty pilots at one time is too
great sacrifice.
There will be a new Postmaster
General a week from to-day. 1t will
be up to him to stop the appalling
loss of life in the air mail service.

Woman's Aspirations.
A Creative as Well as an Emotional
Side to Her Nature.

To THE NEW YORK HERALD: want
so much to answer the letter signed
by "A. W."
He cites one after another of his wife's
uses throughout her life, such as caring
for an Invalid mother, bringing into the
world and caring for four healthy chill
dren, &c. Certainly this was a great
deal to do on the emotional side of
her life. And she needed and wanted
the emotional side of her life COM
pleted as he. "A. w." wanted the emo
tional side of his life completed in a
family and wife.
However, "A. W." had a creative
side to his life which was after all the
expression of his soul. Now what his
wife meant was that she too wanted a
creative side to her life, in fact she
wanted it to be the prime motive f& her
living.
The last generation did not know all
this and the woman who was forced
20 use her emotional side as her crea-
tive side has been a brick and a trump.
I am a woman and l love most to see
woman go ahead. Give woman more and
more opportunity and the finer women
Will seize 1t. Woman has more soul
than temperament when given half a
chance. Give her a chance TO create

Emphasis on People.
Wendell Phillips's Rendering Of Lin

To THE NEW YORK HERALD: With
respect to the emphasizing of Lincoln's
government of the people. by the peo-
pie and for the people" l remember to
have heard Wendell Phillips deliver his
we'll known lecture upon Abraham Lin
coin in one of the smaller New England
cities some years after the close OF the
civil war.
In repeating the portion in question
of Mr.. Lincoln's Gettysburg Address he
avoided any emphasis upon the preposi-
tion and placed it noticeably upon the
repeated word people"
This unusual emphasis made comment.
as many of his hearers had committed
the address to memory as public school
pupils, always making the proposition
prominent.
Presumably Mr.. Phillips was present
when President Lincoln spoke at Gettys-
burg, as the occasion brought together
a notable and representative audience.

Building Not a Sport.
Why a Remedy Proposed for the
Housing Shortage Would Fail.

To THE NEW YORK HERALD: Now ii
appears that member of the Assembly
has incubated q bill TO stop all building
except of houses and apartments unless
by special permit.
The theory on which this bill is based
seems to be that builders are so in love
with the job that if they are not per-
mitted TO put up profitable buildings
which they can sell they will put up
Improbable buildings which they can
not sell.
The pleasure of contending with in
spectors of various city departments,
dlckering for material. settling strikes
and hunting mortgage money. and the
carefree. open air life they lead Is
relied on to keep them busy. even at
a loss.
The actual results of such a law would
be found quite different. The door be-
ing shut on profitable building, the sue
cessful middle aged builder might Very
we'll call it day and permanently re-
tire from the business. Younger men
with the energy and knowledge gained
in the business would find other occupa-
tions, which IL congenial might hold
them permanently.
The Legislature and the public will
have to learn the lesson that the apart
ment business will not flourish nor the
needed houses be built until the man
agement of such property is taken out
of the hands of the tenants and the in
experienced court and returned to the
hands of the owners. Few of these
could show even a savings bank interest
rate of return during ten years past,
even if depreciation of the buildings
were not considered.

the Bolsheviki recently attempted TO
invade Persia they refused TO obey
their commander and gave to the
Red army the small success it OBJ
tanned in the Caspian region.
The Nationalist party represents the
one strong political organization Of the
country. But its strength is mt the
capital and its leaders are almost en-
tirely men who have lived abroad and
been educated in Europe or America.
The Persian of the country knows
little of the nations political prob
lens and takes little interest in them.
The Bolsheviki have advanced their
line TO the northern border of Persia,
they have a small fleet in the Cas-
plan, they are in occupation of Batum
and they have made frequent attempts
to place the small Caucasian States
under Soviet rule. So far the Persians
have held the Moscow Government on
their frontier, despite the active Boil
shevist propaganda. But at the same
time the Persians have not definitely
accepted the Anglo-Persian agreement,
with its very heavy loan, which the
Shah negotiated while in Europe.
The reason that the Persian situa-
ton causes so much serious concern
Is that on account of it's position, at
tho parrnwact poutro1 Doiut of thp
Asiatic continent, Persia holds the key
to the overland traffic from the Medi-
terranean coast to India and the
Far East. 1t is too a land, If prop

of wealth and of rich mineral and
oil resources. In its present state 1t

FILL Now, It is a misnomer to call them
sculpture paintings The fact is they
are mere tinted or colored pieces of
carving; some. very few. are
"sculpted." and, when finished. the sculp-
tor just gave them a coat of paint. Quite
simple TO be sure.
Sculpture painting is quite different
branch Of art and more difficult to exc
cute. 1t Is the achievement of a real
painter. who uses nothing but pigments
and brushes to produce on canvas or
cardboard pictures in which the objects
and human figures have the body and
lifelike semblance Of those we sec in
nature.
Il takes a painter years OF expert
menting. ] have known some who had

The difficulty lies in not showing how
the miracle is done. Sculpture in wood

get the result are not apparent
