YOUNG WILL APPEAL TURKEY
CASE

It has been learned that an appeal
will be taken to district court by the
defendant in the case of Joseph L.
blanc VS.. Charles Young, which was
tried before Justice Garfield last week
and resulted in decision for the plain
tiff. The suit involved the possession of
flock of turkeys. Leblanc claimed
that the turkeys belonged to him and
strayed to the Young place, where they
were cooped up. He got them back on
writ of replcvin and then brought suit
for possession.

The Peoples Friend

The latest piece of information
concerning the breakdown Of the
schools is that next fall $1,000 pupils
must be crowded into high school
buildings designed to accommodate
1850. In three and one-half years
of Hylanism not penny has been
provided for new construction. Not
only is this true, but many existing
buildings are scarcely habitable.
John F. Hylan has posed before
this community as a friend of the
people, especially of poor people. He
has steadily advertised himself as
such. This is monstrous hypocrisy.
He is not the friend of the people,
and is especially not the friend of
poor people. He has been cruelty in
different to the welfare of every boy
and girl in New York.
He has found money to maintain
hangers-on and political favorites.
He has funds to pay $1,000 for menu
cards bearing his engraved portrait.
He has collected from the taxpayers
nearly double the annual sum col
lected by his predecessors. Only in
the school budget has he been eco
nomical. School children are minors
and can't vote.
If any sense Of shame is left to
the Mayor, he must spend uncom-
Portable hours as he thinks of his
demagogic self-laudation and then
remembers he has denied to the ris-
ing generation it's fair chance. If he
is the peoples friend, what, then,
would be an enemy?

Biography a la Mode

Hitherto the art of biography,
from James Boswell to Lytton
Strachey, has moved in we'll ordered
grooves, set down in terms commonly
understood by human beings who
move in all walks of life. DR.. John
son declared that Plutarch's Lives
kept him up all night, and to-day
nothing can be simpler to an ordi-
nary mind than those immortal pic
lures of Greek and Roman immortals,
drawn with such sympathetic candor
and apparent artlessness. No mat
ter where we turn in this fascinating
region of Geographic literature, we
find human beings writing about
other human beings in terms of hu-
man beings. Charles XII lives once
more in the pages Of Voltaire. Bos-
well has woven DR.. Johnson's man.
nerisms into the very fabric of time.
Latterly, sin England, Lord Morley
has outlined almost too faithfully
and tediously the lineaments of Her
bert Spencer and William Gladstone,
and within the last few weeks ,Lyt-
ton Strachey, with the fidelity of
true genius, presents to us the real
Victoria. In this country Parton
has made Aaron Burr and Thomas
Jefferson live again. Mr.. Howells's
My Mark Twain is gem of personal
attachment and detachment.
Can it be possible that now all
this is to be changed, and that new
terror is going to be added to the
reading of all books, by the general
introduction Of psycho-analysis into
the writing of biography? Before
this we have had anecdotes, pleasant
and unpleasant; we have had reve-
lations, superficial and intimate; we
have had, it is true, shocking dis
closures as well as delightful in
tlmacies. But at least all of these
things are the things human and
probable.
But here comes Mr.. Harvey J. |
oHiggins (assisted by>one DR.. Ed
ward H. Reede), in McClure's Maya
zine for July, and rewrites the biog-
raphy of Abraham Lincoln as if Lin
coin had been born in a chemical
laboratory. The things that Lincoln
fought and conquered are no longer |
the things that we all have to fight |
and conquer in lesser degree. They

Give Air Men a Chance
Let Army and Navy Planes Attack
the German Destroyers
H.
By Quarterback

There is feeling among the navy
end army flyers that the Navy Depart
ment is not anxious to let them prove
what they can do.
Only one Of the three German SUBJ
marines was vouchsafed as a target
for the bombers, and three of the 140
available planes sent it quickly to the
bottom. The other planes were not
used. Next week it Is proposed in
like manner to give but one German
destroyer to the bombers, and the
other two to the gunners. In this case
very few Of the air men may get into
the game again and their battle forma-
ton may not be illustrated.
We will gain nothing new by using
guns against the German craft. We
might learn much about bombing and
the value Of air forces if the NAVY De-
partment would wisely change it's de-
cislon and permit all three destroyers
to be attacked by the army and navy
planes. 1t is important to find out all
we can about new weapons. Is not
this the desire Of the Navy Department?
Onlookers and neutral observers at
the Navy Department and elsewhere
have remarked that conservative
bureaucratic influences are very nery-
Gus. Whenever a bomb misses thew
heave sigh of relief, smile and saw
81 told 'em So" When there is q hit
they say it was an accident, or was
harmless. or that the enemy could not
fight back.
We would not wish to believe that
the Navy Department is afraid to give
the air forces fair chance at this
time. The department. need not fear
thu the press and the people will draw
wrong conclusions if air forces prove
to be effective against ships. Not at
all. The people 1T large are intelligent.
The press will be fair. Let us know the,
whole truth. 1t will help, not injure.

Tino as a War Hero
From The Manchester Guardian

'>'''
King Constantine's determination to
"place himself at the head of his
armies" against the Turks will not
cause too much enthusiasm among
those of his subjects who remember a
certain incident during the Graco-
Turkish war Of 1897. On the morn
ing of April "a in that year, when the
people were fleeing from Larissa in
terror of the advancing Turks, one of
the trains which was about to leave.
crowded with refugees, was stopped by
the staff Of the man who was then
Crown Prince and commander in chief.
All the civilians were bundled out; the
staff, with the prince, took possession.
and steamed off by roundabout route
to Pharsalos, leaving town and army
to care for themselves. The fact that
Constantine was in danger from the
rifles Of his own soldiers hardly rem
dered the desertion more becoming.

have been resolved into reactions and
completes. We had hitherto sup
posed that Lincoln was very much
like other people, only more so. Mr..
O'Higgins now tells us that it is
probable that his incongruities were
due to the conscious effort to over
come a conscious sense Of inferi-
GRITTY"
Lincoln's feeling Of pity for the
slave, 1T seems, was something else
than what we are accustomed to
think of it. According to Mr.. O'Hig-
gins, it was "his unconscious defense
of his own oppressed self that was
projected into a defense Of racial
liberty" 1t was an impulse of his
ego Instincts"
This vivisection Of Lincoln, of
course, is only the beginning. The
discovery having been made that the
lives Of all our great men can be
written according to their repres-
sions, their subconscious selves, their
egos and what not, a new biograph-
ical era will dawn upon us. Perhaps
1t will be necessary to have three
biographies--one to tell the story Of
the outer man and one to tell the
story of his inner adversary, and
then the third to describe the COM
posite born from the conflict.

The Farce at Leipsic

The Versailles Treaty contained
special section providing for the
trial of German war criminals. 1t
required Germany to surrender all
persons accused Of having committed
acts in violation of the laws and Gus
toms of war. These defendants were
to be tried before Allied military tri-
bunals. Thus the sanctity of inter-
national agreements was to be vindi-
Gated and an example made Of Ger
man officers who sanctioned or COM
mitted war atrocities.
This section of the treaty has been
made mock of. The Allied gov
ernments lodged the duty of enforc-
ing it. When Germany declined to
fulfill her contract to deliver those
named as war criminals the Allied
Council weakly condoned that
breach Of faith and agreed to let
Germany try the offenders in her
own civil courts. The result has
astonished nobody. Trivial sentences
have been imposed on few small
fry defendants. But the acquittal of
naval officer who torpedoed an AL
lied hospital ship on the ground that
he merely obeyed orders from higher
up, followed by the acquittal of
Lieutenant General Stengel on the
ground that an officer of his high
rank was absolutely incapable of I'M
military conduct, proves that the
German judicial mind cannot take
these prosecutions seriously. The
French government has protested
against the miscarriage of justice in
the Stengel case and announces that
it will try no more cases at Leipsic.
But why should the French and Brit
ish ever have agreed to take their
cases there?
The German courts have not been
affected by the revolution. The
judges still bow with respect to
those who wore the Kaiser's uni
form. They still hold the view that
the atrocities charged against Ger
man soldiers were enemy inventions.
There was much testimony, part Of
it German, to show that Stengel had
ordered prisoners to be shot. But
the court calmly disregarded it on
the theory that such orders on the
Generals part were unbelievable, and
that even if they had been given the
subordinates receiving them should
never have taken them at face value.
To convict their commanders of
murder and barbarity would destroy
the conviction obstinately cherished
by the German people that they
fought the war in civilized fashion,
not as savages. This delusion is
the old orders last claim to popular
respect. German judges will simply
not contribute to destroying it. If
the Allied governments want to pun
ish the war criminals they will have
to try them in Allied courts, where
no unalterable presumption of the
innocence of the higher German
commanders prevails. The Versailles
Treaty should be executed not by it's
enemies but by it's friends.

scientific consideration the report
just issued by the minority of the

What are the real sentiments Of

mystery. Is the explanation of the

SO 1nslstent have been the profess
sions of good intentions emanating
from President Obregon and so few
have been the deeds backing this
loudly trumpeted good faith that it
is impossible not to wonder in what
direction the President of Mexico is
really travelling.
On nearly all matters at issue be-
tween his country and ours he has
professed hearty desire to see them
adjusted. He has stated that Article
XVII would be interpreted in ac-
cord with international law. He has
said that interest on the foreign debt
would be paid. He has promised fair
treatment for foreign enterprise in
Mexico, etc.
But the Mexican Congress has
postponed interpreting the disputed
constitutional article. The Mexican
treasury has failed to pay the inter-
est on the promised day; and an ex-
ecutive decree has increased the ex-
port duty on fuel oil to a point where
it is almost confscatory. Finally
comes the report that what amounts
to fine equal to three months pay
for each employee is to be levied on
American oil companies that have
shut down.
This course is scarcely consistent
with professions Of friendship and
assurances Of fair dealing. Presi-
dent Obregon must have advisers.
The two Mexicans reputed to be
closest to him both have extreme
radical synpathies. This may &C
count in part for some Of his ac-
tons. One man in particular, Elias
Gales, is considered strongly anti
American. But isn't there something
more? Hasn't he turned for guidance
to Americans whose advice was tenn
pered by prejudice, ignorance or
mischievousness?
Last fall the State Department,
after proposing the creation Of a
joint committee-a proposal Mr..
Oregon was unwisely advised to
ignore-suggested a treaty of COM
merce and amity. All seemed going
we'll until some one put the idea into
his head that America was not seri-
Gus. At about the same time GER
tain activities commenced in Mexico
that were strangely reminiscent Of
President Wilson's Bureau Of Misin-
formation. Propaganda poured out
of Mexico City, addressed, apparent
ly, at the American people over the
heads Of the American government.
Furthermore, it seemed to be ad-
dressed in particular at the minority
party. One long article printed in
The World had familiar ring to it,
and many people said it had not been
written in Spanish. Some people,
when they heard who was in the
counsels of Mr.. Oregon, thought
that they recognized the touch.
In the Mexican paper Ell Univer-
sal on June % there appeared let
ter from the Minister Of Foreign At

s07 AS result of the parleys at Dub
ain, cannon de Valera, as the repre-
J sentative of the majority element in
southern Ireland, has agreed to meet
) Lloyd George, the British Premier,
in conference. AS the government of
northern Ireland has already accept
led the invitation to attend the meet
ing, the negotiations will now be
transferred to London, with excel
lent prospects that much desired
settlement of the Irish question will
Be reached.
!, AS an earnest Of its good faith,
and realizing that calm counsels
9 would not be promoted if news Of
new troubles disturbed the negotia-
tions, the British government an
Hounces a suspension of repressive
operations against Mr.. de Valera's
followers, and it is to be assumed
i that Sim Fem will declare like
truce. Once the fighting is stopped,
it is not likely to be renewed.
M Neither side so far has specifically
stated the irreducible minimum of
dts terms. But it may be taken for
granted that De Valera, by going to
London, gives up that part of his
program which related to the indie
pendence of Ireland. Thus one rock
: Of discord is removed Ireland is to
continue a part of the British EN-
pire.
! The second stumbling block-of
what is to be done with respect to
U1ster-remains Mr.. de Valera is
quoted as saying that if Ulster will
! Come in he will give her "terms
more generous and a legislature
more dignifed and powerful than
Lloyd George conferred on northern
Ireland" This, taken at the letter,
shows great progress. Ulster has
accepted the autonomy provided for
jim the Home Rule act. If she is to
be offered more she naturally will be
pleased. But De Valera says that he
nWill confer the boon. Ulster is likely
to note the presence of the personal
! pronoun and to insist that her rights
8 be guaranteed by better authority.
d. If southern Ireland has at last
/; concluded to yield with respect to
Ulster it is a pity John Redmond is
= not alive to see the day. In 1916,
following the Easter Day outbreak,
Lloyd George secured an agreement
between Sir Edward Carson, on the
one side, and Messrs. Redmond, Dill
Ion and Devlin, on the other, that six
counties of Ulster should be excluded
from the Home Rule act until the
British Parliament should decide
otherwise. But the compromise was
upset in Dublin, and Redmond died
! OF, a broken heart, his leadership re-
jected.
$50 Now Sim Fem, after having
wrecked the Irish Nationalist party,
seems on the eve of accepting the
! Nationalist policy after five years of
unnecessary bloodshed-seems COM
ing around to terms that Lloyd
George has offered during all the
period of anarchy.

Scant Allowance

To cut such a staff to one-sixth
Is virtually impossible on account of
the mass of business. 1t is conceivable
that it might be reduced from seventy
one to twenty six-I am reliably in
formed that the latter figure is an
absolute minimum-and yet the gov
crnment has allowed enough for only
twelve. Is the new ambassador sup
posed to make up the deficit?
To do SO would manifestly work a
grave injustice. But so long as the
government fails to provide suitable
quarters for it's foreign representatives
with sufficient allowance for upkeep
and fund for official entertainments.
and so long as the government will
not furnish adequate clerical assist
ance, the high cost Of being an am
bassador will prevent any but the very
wealthy from serving their country in
this capacity and will continue to VIC
late American traditions Of democracy.
