THE CITIZENS HOUSING LEAGUE.

COMMISSIONER HIRSHFlELD'S attack on
~ the Citizens Protective Housing League does
not carry much weight II is generally recognized
that David and John Faithful are David and Johna-
than. When Johnathan has toothahe David
squeals.
It is also generally known that political jealousy
(probably without any foundation) lay back of the
Mayors dismissal of Nathan Hirsch as Chairman
of Hizzoners Committee on Rent PROTECTING
eighteen months ago, since which time the Mayors
committee has practically ceased to function
There is nothing to indicate that either Mr.. Hrsch
o. Mr.. Untemnyer is playing politics when they
ask 100000 tenants to enroll in the Citizens Pro-
tective Housing League before Aug. I.
The detectives of the league are clearly stated
and there is need for sud service. The league pro-
poses to provide expert legal advice for all members
involved in housing litigation. 1t further proposes
to mobilize tenant opinion behind constructive
legislative programme.
The Hirshfield attack should only serve to ad-
vertise the Housing League.
Any tenant can we'll afford the dollar that en-
titles him to membership. The fund so raised is
not likely to meet expenses, but it will help ma
teially.
The 100000 should be enrolled by Aug I.

FORGIVE AND FORGET"

OPENlNG the Ulster Parliament at Belfast,
~ King George said:
II appeal to all Irishmen to pause, to stretch
out the hand Of forbearance and conciliation
to forgive and to forget. and to Join in making
for the land which they love a new era of
peace, contentment and good will
1T is my earnest desire that in Southern
Ireland, too. there may ere long take place a
parallel to what is now passing in this hall;
that there a similar occasion may present it.
self and similar ceremony be performed"
Along with these words of the English King We
should like to place the words of great lrid,ma
of another century:
England and Ireland may flourish together.
The world Is large enough for us both Let It
be our care not to make ourselves too little
for it."
If more IriShmen could listen to the appeal Of
King George with the calm and in the spirit OF
Edmund Burke, the solution of the Irish problem
would not be far off.

1t was an Irishman-Joseph Read,
secretary to Washinston-to whom
the British Commissioners offered a
bribe of $4,000 If he would desert the
almost hopeless cause of the Colo
nists. His reply was: I'm not worth
purchasing. but the King of Great
Britain Is not rich enough to do it."
This patriot was appointed an Ad-
jutant General by Congress. He was
elected Chief Justice of Pennsylvania
and was its Governor three times. At
the first council Of the war, held at
Cambridge, Mass, in ITS, two were
Irishmen-Richard Montgomery and
John Sullivan-and fully one-half Of
the active chiefs of the army were OF
Irish birth or descent When Con-
gress ordered Pennsylvania in ITS to
raise several regiments the Colonels
commissioned were Anthony Wayne,
Stephen Moylan, William Irvine,
william Thompson, Walter Stewart
and Richard Butler, all Irishmen. The
regiments Of Wayne, Stewart Irvine
and Butler formed part OF the
famous Pennsylvania Line, also called
the Irish Brigade" They were the
picked men OF the whole army and
Point on the discovery of Benedict
Arnold's treason. Col. Fitzgerald, an
Irishman, was Washinston's favorite

Washington was a member Of the

held its annual banquets at Cox's
Tavern in Philadelphia, Pa. When
Washington's army was starving at
Valley Forge this society sent him

A National Nickname.
To the Editor OF The Evening World
have been reading numerous ar
ticles about Georges Carpenter
(alias the Frog.
A few days ago I read in one Of
New York's leading papers that the
vulgar nickname of Frogs" was a
gift to the French by the English
at a time when the two peoples were
not on the best terms.
In 1917 when our boys landed in
France, the Tommies from England
nicknamed these newcomers from
the United States "Sammies. The
French poilus soon picked up this
expression. Our boys made a kick
over being called Sammies as it
sounded too much English, and OF
course they disliked the name. When
the French poilus learned OF their
blunder in misusing the English
slang toward their new allies from
America they Immediately refraincd.
In few months American soldiers
were known and called yankees"
among the French poilus.

knottiest Of all problcms-the exist-

The story, as told by the highest
authority in the world. is wonderfully
encouraging. II puts heart and hops
In US. In our fight against the forces
of the dark It stiffens the backbone
and puts into us the pep that

Let me give the story In the-ver~,

Tho Judaean farmer in question, be-
ing personally interested in his work,
himself sowed tho wheat He would
not trust the hired men They might
SOW poor seed. They might SOW too
early or too late. Some carelessness
on their part might spoil the whole
thing. So he made It his business TO
attend to the work himself. 100
Now, while the farmer was soundly
sleeping after hts honest days work,
a scoundrelly neighbor who hated him
bitterly eneaked forth through the
darkness, sowed tares In tho midst OF
the wheat, and then sneaked back
home, chuckling to himself over the
dirty deed that he had done ,
BY and by the vfle tares mado thear
appearance, and tho hired men said
to the farmer: -Sir, you wouldn't
trust Us to SOW tho wheat for fear
We might make . mess OF It; but

To the Editor OF The Evening World:
Every one knows that an aged spirit
is more wholesome than crude alcohol.
II. r. 6752 makes 1t compulsory to
use crude alcohol in medicines rather
than the more wholesome aged spirit,
unless the Commissioner is satisfied
that the latter Is essential. Flavoring
extracts are included in the prohibi-
tion.
This is a queer age and many queer
laws are passed. but this Is the queer
est yet.
1t should be entitled "An Act to
Make Medicines and Foods Less
Wholesome" or perhaps the following
would be more appropriate: AN Act
to Encourage the Use Of Imitation
Wine in Medicinal Agents" for 1t will
be noted that to use a pure wine in
any medicine would be in violation OF
the law.

piece of legislation offered during the
