the local girls were leading by
the score Of IL to s. Incidentally this
is the first defeat that the Rockland
team has suffered this season. The
largest crowd of spectators ever
seen on the local floor was on hand
to witness the interesting tussle, the
total number being estimated at
1900, this exceptionally large number
being due to the fact that the boys
in attendance at the conference in
this city were invited guests of the
Portland management.

searchingly into the campaigns of decep:
tion and Misrepresentation conducted abroad
at the expense Of the gullible, the helpless
and the ignorant.
Foreign shipping agents are often a willy
lot and their disregard Of explicit regula-
tions imposed by the United States Govern
ment is fragrant. This is proved by the
pitiful fate Of hundreds Of victims who reach
Ellis island only to be shipped home.
Major Wynne Is concerned just now with
the violation Of passport restrictions in the
case Of Russians dispatched here through Po-
land and with the sums Of money of which
local Russians have been mulcted by ship
ping agents who have vainly promised to
aid in the immigration Of relatives of the
pioneers.
But this Is only one phase of the whole
disgraceful business. When the government
has, to the best Of its ability, checked
series Of abuses by INSCRIPTIONS shipping
concerns Il can more fttingly determine what
races of Europe make desirable immigrants.

STRIKE ON GERMAN LINES

THHE principles-if such they can be
i called-under which the present taxicab
!. strike in this city is being conducted bear
an ominous resemblance to those which pro-
; voked the United States to enter the world
. war.
1t was the German determination, regard
less of all considerations Of life and prop
: srty. to destroy the seaborne commerce of
foes and neutrals. Deliberate terrorism was
the chief weapon employed.
Terrorism is similarly exploited in the
TAXI strike warfare which has resulted
within the last two months in the explosion
Of twelve bombs near cabs parked in central
= Philadelphia. Takes have been ditched
,. ard otherwise wrecked.
One machine was found yesterday at the
bottom Of IN embankment near a Reading
I Railway coalyard at Howard and Gurney
streets. Drivers have been injured. The
4. lives Of cab patrons have been recklessly i'm
periled.
1t is no credit to the organizers of such
|. outrageous sabotage that there have been no
fatalities. Director Cortelyou has announced
that the depredations must end and that
the police will bend every effort to find the
guilty parties.
1t is said that the tiki men are striking
for higher pay. But there Is scant interest
now in the nature Of their grievances. Pub
lie sympathy has been utterly forfeited by
barbarities for which there is no palliation.

WHAT DID PENRoSE SAY?

nTR. WEGLEIN, president of City Coun-
XV1 ell; Judge Brown and Mr.. Cunning
ham. leader of the lob combine" among
others, journeyed TO Washington to chat
with Senator Penrose over the last week
end. 1t is hardly to be supposed that they
left the city with absolutely nothing on
their minds. They did not 60 merely to
gaze on the grandeur that seems to be Pen
c rose. Perhaps they were running TO port
in a storm and they wanted nothing so
much as balm for the wounds laid open by
the Mayors lashins loyalty drive.
On their return Mr.. Cunningham and Mr..
weglein had nothing to say +; that is, nothing
. Of any moment. Mr.. Weglein, in fact, de-
sired to dispose Of the subject by saying that
} Philadelphia matters were merely micro
scopic" in comparison with the pulsating
currents Of great affairs at Washington.
Can it be that the brilliancy of the Pen
rose star completely eclipsed our local lights?
Can 1t be that the imposing encourage Of the
Big Fellow squelched their petty Puthusiasms
and struck them dumb2
It may be so. And observers do not ap-
pear to be quite without justification in as
( suming that the senior United States SEN
ator really silehced them. Whatever may be
The real merits of the case, Senator Penrose
has been credited with being shrewd politi-
clan. He Is not bad "guesser,' therefore,
who insists that the senator, using the Ian
guage his lieutenants best understand, advised
' them to ''lay off, Mayor Moore. No one
: knows better than Senator Penrose the
crushing power of a city administration, in
spired by clean and fighting ideals. He
, knows how short Is the political life and
usefulness Of ward leader who stands out
against an administration with three years
, more Of vigorous life, which employs the
police in straight and thorough police duty.
Senator Penrose did not have to make his
point in words, II he made any point at all.
All he had to do was to sit In state with his
retainers palpitating about the dais. APP
parently he listened and then glanced across
the Potomac. Whereupon Mr.. Weglen
fastened back to Philadelphia and announced
that he was more interested in public i'm
, provements than anything else. Mr.. Veg
y lein should make another trip to Washing
IN and take his colleagues with him.

A STUPID POLICY

gTNHE local raid on motorists with 1920
l. license tags ought to have been stopped
before II began. Instead Of this, however,
1t was announced that all drivers of motor.
y cars who did not display 1921 license tag
would be arrested beginning yesterday. Be
! tween 250 and 300 OF them were apprchended
during the day, including the driver OF n
{ police patrol wagon. Then Superintendent
Mills ordered the raids stopped and an =
nounced that different plan would have to
be devised.
/ II was foolish to order the arrests in the
hrst place Every mOtorcar owner knows
shat he must get his new tag if he is 70 run
his car. 1t is impossible to beat the law.
And under present arrangements it il i'm
possible for the State Highway Bureau in
. Harrisburg TO supply half million license
tags within the time the police here allowed
Hundreds of men who have applied for
their tags have not vet received them Others
have received the tags but have not yet re =
= eeived the drivers license that goes with
them.
Z The only way out is for the highway de-
partment to establish licensing bureaus in
!. the various cities of the state TO which the
local motorists may go and in which they
may get both their tag and their license al
once. If this were done there would be few
last years tags displayed after the first ten
days of the new year and there would be nc
excuse for diverting the attention of the
police from their important duties to the
arrest of men who are guilty Of the minor
.. offense OF delay in doing what they know
{ they must do, anyway, or who are without
their license tags because the authorities who
distribute them have been guilty Of delay.

DAYLIGHT cAMPAICNERS

THE Edge daylight saving bill which
l. would advance the clock in the eastern
United States in summer has already won
the support of numerous business bodies in
this city, including the Bourse.
The latter organization announces that
80 per cent of all persons engaged In gain
full occupations in the United States are
employed within the eastern time zone and
that approximately S5 per cent of those are
engaged in industrial, commercial, financial
and professional pursuits"
The arguments on behalf Of beginning the
long days earlier are, of course, perfectly
valid, but their enunciation implies a child
like misconception Of the nature of con :
grcssionnl mental processes. The federal
lawmakers are less frequently inclined to
give the country what it wants than what
they pretend, for reasons of their own, to
think that it wants.
The advantages Of daylight saving to the
public az a whole are precisely what they
were when the operation of the least onerous
economy ever adopted in this nation was
halted. Renewed proofs of merit In the
suggested new measure chiefly imply that
persons adducipg them 3rc sti'i possessed OF
a faith az naive rs 1t is'somewhat pathetic.

diplomacy. Congress Is always ready TO at
tack and survey any problem that can be
disposed of without specific definitions or an
ultimate and binding conclusion.
Cuba and Europe ought TO I've made to wait
while the House and Senate bend their
energies to clear up the confusion in the
bureaus established to render necessary relief
to the youthful veterans Of the recent war.
The soldiers organizations are asking that
these bureaus be merged and compelled to
concentrate their energies solely In the inter-
est OF men still in need of aid. The aston
ishing thing is that such suggestion had to
come from the soldiers and that 1t was not
advanced long ago In the House or in the
Senate. Something very much like national
scandal is growing out Of the failure OF the
government to keep the promises to the men
who served IL at terrible cost to themselves.
These soldiers ought not to be treated as
mondicants or as suppliants for charity in
Offices where we'll fed officials dole out their
small contributions with the manner of
rich and bored relation or suspicious pawn
trokcr. They seek only that to which they
have an unquest,cnable right.
Congress cannot afford to waste any time
In giving its approval to the bill for central
ization and reorganization Of the govern
ment soldier relief work. And having done
that IL ought to provide without any ques"
tion, as much money as Is needed to reor-
ganize and CO. ordinate the work Of the Vo-
cational Board and the Medical Service.
The country will learn with a pang OF
shame that many soldiers who suffered the
mental arrangements that attend most cases
of shell shock are now confined In private
and public asylums beyond the reach Of the
expert care that is necessary to their re-
covery. This is because the Health Service
has been without the money necessary to
provide better accommodations and scientific
care. The saddest example Of all Is pro-
vidcd by the men who, for a year or more,
have found affairs so involved in the three
bureaus that they have been unable to get
any help at all.
The country cannot be content to remain
untroubed by what il cannot see. Many
thousands of the soldiers who were cheered
so loudly when they marched to the ships
are now broken men, shut away out OF sight,
TO endure in silence the neglect and injus-
tee about which they cannot complain. Is
that any reason why they should be for
