Tell Them When War Is Over.

When the peace treaty has been
ratified by the United States Senate
and the German Reichstag the
Presidents proclamation that the
war is over should be spread broad
cast in this country. A great many
persons seem to have been waiting
for the end OF the war before seek
Ing work.
The young men who spend the af-
ternoon at the Polo Grounds or the
motion picture shows while their
mothers take in washing ought to
be informed that the war is over
and that there is no longer an excuse
for the most subtle loafer.
At the racetracks and on the street
corners, wherever are gathered po-
tential bricklayers, concrete mixers.
plumbers apprentices and plain labor
ers, the word should be heard that
peace is here, technically as we'll as
actually, and that there are houses
to be built as soon as the silk shirt

There Is the honey dew indued.

The peach. short sklrted, radiant hued

Down near the end Of Vesey street.
There is the ounce OF jaundiced mien.

Whatever vine. tree, bush have grown
To pander TO a taste discreet.

Fresh Air for 1000 More.
Money Asked to Send Mothers and
Children to the Country.

To THE NEW YORK HERALD: or the
many thousands who have applied to
US to be sent to our five fresh air homes
we have carefully made up a list of
1000 mothers and little children for the
time yet remaining before fall really
comes. They are not merely those who
love the country and long to see 1t
again but those to whom country air
and food and rest will be lifegiving-
the anamic. the wornout. the under
rourished, the nervous. those to whom
financial distress has added the burden
OF worry to their heavy load.
We have already sent nearly 5000
such to the country and seashore, and
we are planning 10 keep our country
homes open until September 22, mostly
for mothers and little children who do
not go to school. In the hope that tho
friends OF New York's tenement poor
Will help us entertain 1000 more of
these unfortunate ones.

Foch's Visit.

Marshal FocH has chosen a good
season for his visit to the United
States. October is usually our best
month, very like in climate this ac-
cidentally magnificent August. In
October the whole country has some
thing to show the visitor. The farms
are picturesque with the final har-
vests, the forests splendid in their
changing color, the cities full of the
zest that follows summer.
The Marshal may be sure of q
warm reception. 1t Is long time
since Armistice Day and most of the
heroes of the war ere being gently
forgotten. Yet nobody forgets the
Generalissimo. He is neither a ma
chinelike military man nor a talka-
tive statesman, but a fine being
whose thorough understanding of
the virtues and faults Of his fellow
creatures, added to profound
knowledge of the art of war and the
value Of patience, resulted in the
allied victory.
The Marshal doubtless has a great
curiosity to see the land whence
came the stream of eager doughboys.
And America wants to see the school
master who taught the last lessons
Of the war.

LuMBUs; perhaps a dozen centuries
before CoRTEz sent ALyARADo explor-
ing down that way.
When ALvARADo made his journey
to the south he almost stumbled over
at least two of these dead and for
gotten centres of the archaic Maya
civilization. The lush tropic growth
had hidden the cities and the monu-
ments and the hieroglyphic records.
The early explorer knew nothing and
saw nothing and heard nothing Of
this mysterious American civilization
which even then had passed from To-
cal memory. Now the Tribune comes
with its facts. What did the early
Mayas record about NOAH and the
Deluge and the celebrated Ark? Ex-
actly what did their chisels tell of
the Tower OF Babel and the Egyptian
Sphinx? Having invited its readers
to this feast of nnsuspected knowl-
edge we do not see how our esteemed
contemporary can decline to go fur
rber into the alluring subject.
We shall profit with the rest of the
unlearned. Our own unscientific,
ignorant supposition--till the Trib-
ane came along--was that while
considerable progress had been made,
at least tentatively, In the under
standing from the Maya tablets and
stones of the cycles and probable
duration of their elaborate system Of
chronology-extending perhaps from
its disappearance few centuries
after CHRIST back to the litsrate be-
ginnings of an already perfected me-
dunn of American record somewhere
about the time. let us say, of RAM
EsEs in Egypt--the key that unlocks
the historical text of the inscriptions
was yet to be found. There was no
Rosetta stone that we had heard Of
till the Tribune made its astounding
editorial announcement.
Can 1t be that our esteemed neigh
Dor has confused that ancient mys-
terious Maya civilization, which the
greatest problem of archaeology con-

later peoples, loosely styled Mayas

Tribune been reading too much OF
AUGUSTUS LIE PLoNGEoN, meritori-
Gus explorer but an unsafe guide to
conclusions? A whole generation ago
--thirty-hve years to be exact--LE
PLoNGEoN published here in Barclay
street his interesting account of ac-
tual experience in Yucatan, blurred
by a fantastic tumble of conjecture,
Masonic and Chaldean mysticism, sa-
cred symbolism and unstable philo-
logical speculation, He actually
printed in parallel columns as long
ago as 1886 the Egyptian hieratic al
phabet according to CHAMPoLLIoN
and BUNsEN and an alleged Maya
hieratic alphabet deduced from his
own observation Of mural inscrip-
tions In Yucatan. The two alpha
bets are extraordinarily similar, but
we fear the Tribunes savants would
not find the LIE PLoNGEoN hieratic of
much help in working out the hero
glyphs of Quirigua and Copan.

Real Voices in the Air.

An interesting incident In the de-
velopment of wireless communica-
tion will soon be staged at Chicago.
Beginning August 81 and ending
September 3. amateurs In wireless
telegraphy and telephony will hold
their first national convention there
under the title of the American Radio
Relay League. 1t is expected that
more than thousand private owners
Of wireless stations, representing all
but three of the forty-eight States Of
the Union, will be present. The
league has a membership Of more
than 5000. In addition II is affili-
ated with some 300 radio clubs hav-
ing an aggregate membership Of
about 10000.
Although sectional meetings In
Philadelphia, st. Louis, San Fran
cisco and New York have given a
hint Of the wide interest radio COM
munication las aroused among the
American people, this convention
promises to be something OF revela-
tion in this respect. The increase
in the number of listening-in and
transmitting stations in the country
within the last few years Is surpris-
ing. They range all the way from
the cigar box outfit OF the small boy
to such elaborate and expensive
plants as those OF HIRAM PERCY
MAXIM, president OF the league. at
Hartford. Connecticut, and of IRVING
vERMnYA, at Marion, Massachusetts,.
In age the league members range
from a fourteen-yesr-cld boy to a
mature gentleman of 81.
The amateurs are under the dis
advantage of being restricted to
200 meter wave length, as against
the $4,000 meter wave of the Govern.
ment and commercial plants. Hence
the relay system, which has grown
TO be very efficient. Messages are
passed along from station to station
across the continent with remark
able speed. A few months ago the
Maxim station at Hartford relayed
a message to Los Angeles, California,
bys way OF Chicago and Rof veil, New
Mexico, and got an answl < In

Events That Did Not Happen.

Among many interesting papers
read at the recent annual convention
in Boston of the American Numis-
matte Association was one by DR..
MALCOLM SToRER on naval medals.
One Of his deductions was that sea
power has played SO conspicuous a
part in the development of civiliza-
tion that it's achievements alone suf-
flee for comprehensive grasp of
world history.
OF these achievements many are
recorded in medals. But these nu-
mismatic records present a difficulty.
Many Of them were cast in honor Of
events that never happened. DR..
SToRER cites specific instances. One
is the Invasion Of England" medal
Of NAPOLEON I. 1t bears the inscrip-
tion Struck in London and IL was
intended TO commemorate the cap
ture Of the British metropolis by the
French armies-an event thatN was
indefinitely postponed. other exam
pies of the danger of thus writing
history in advance are the medals
which the former Emperor WILLIAM
of Germany caused to be struck in
the early days OF the war. These
were all ready for issue as soon as
the Germans captured Paris.
OF course neither of these numis-
matte falsifications will ever lead
historians astray. Their interest Is
wholly apart from any historical
value. 1t depends upon the artistic
quality of the medals themselves, for
one thing. In the case OF the Napo-
leon Struck in London" specimen
the excellence Of workmanship is
very marked. In the case Of the
German capture Of Paris example 1t
Is nil. But there Is one line OF in
terest which is identical in both.

sions of the frog just prior to the

interest which is amusing or melan-
choly, according to the point of view

Captain l. z. LAMBERT of the War
Claims Board, in adjusting a suit for
damage to land, asked the claimant. a
North Carolinian, how far away his
property was from the soldiers camp.

reply. That's the way we calculate
down there, whoop is as far as the
voice can carry and holler is half as
far" The Board of Claims declared
that though this was measure OF
tradition, it was not measure a
court could accept. Do sixteen can
dies make a pound? A country store
keeper in southern New Jersey,
whom a county superintendent OF
weights and measures found using
this standard in weighing groceries,
said that he always understood from
his study OF the law that they did,
and that each candle represented an
ounce. The Judge OF the county con-
yinced him that his belief and un-

Use for a Caruso Fund.
Outline Of Vocal Conservatory in
the United States.

To THE NEW YORK HERALD: I believe
the proposed Caruso endowment fund
would lose its natural character II
allowed to embrace in addition to voice
culture other fields of musical art. pos
sibly excepting operatic composition,
which was very close to Mr.. Caruso's
musical heart.
A worthy idea Is the endowment of a
Caruso vocal conservatory where those
displaying sufficient talent might re-
ceive tuition and living gratis. Further
more, to give girl aspirants from all SEQ
tions Of the United states a fair COM
peting show let examination centres be
established In San Francisco. Chicago,
Atlanta and New York. in which cities
committee of opera singers and sing
ing instructors worthy of the name
would annually pass upon applicants for
the Caruso conservatory.
Artists and vocal teachers through
their personal regard or admiration for
Mr.. Caruso and in furtherance of such
a noble cause ought to give their SER
vices as judges free. outside of attend
ant travelling expenses. What a sterling
examining body or conservatory faculty
could be selected from the following
names: Mines. Eames, Sembrich, Frem-

To THE New York HERALD: As con-

two men keeping a book called q

then stopped keeping the book and put
the two men at work on something us--
full. Then ! learned the origin of the
book.
Years ago. when the work Of tho
Office was away behind, this book was
kept in order TO locate the instruments
which were piliIy up in the office be-
cause physically unrecorded. When the
office under the salaried period reached
the stage of recording and indexing the
current days receipts each day this
book was no longer necessary. That
time must have been about twenty-five
or thirty years ago, but the inertia OF
the job kept the book going till I dis
