For Our Four Billions.
A Way to Make the st. Lawrence
Our Northern Boundary.

To THE New York HERALD: To those
about to sit In the conferences on tho
refunding of the loan to Britain of some
four billion dollars would like to sug-
gest the abrogation Of the Ashburton
Treaty and the ceding to the United
States of sthat portion OF Canada lying
south OF tho st. Lawrence River. For
this consideration we would cancel the
debt to u.s.
This region was won for England
mainly by Yankees. 1t is now peopled
in large part by folk whose forebears
were Yankees. There is also a large
French element whose political prefer
ence for the United States may be
Judged by their large emigration to
New England.
This territory would give US unlimited
access to the ST. Lawrence, Of great
benefit from transportation stand
point. The St Lawrence under the
present distribution Of territory offers
the same encouragement to free navi-
CATION as the Rhine and Danube. OBJ
vious strategic reasons forbid our plac-
ing too much dependence on II as an ar
terry Of trade.
Yes. the cost is high: sixty-odd dol
lars an acre against three cents for the
Louisiana Purchase. But everything IL
high in price now. H. A. FREEMAN.

say, they can cash in, when the coun-
try gets back 10 the normal toward
which 1t is now moving, on 100

saving something TO be a bulwark
against want, instead of squanderlng
everything, that's a pretty good in
vestment proposition-100 cent dol
lars back for 80 cent dollars de-
posted.

100000 rank and file American citi-
zens spell to the bolshevist or an
archist or whatever he be that wants
TO smear Red all over our Govern
ment, our political institutions, our
social life, our religious beliefs. What
an entertainment that tribe Of nation
wreckers will fall upon when they
come into collision with the eleven to
twelve million savings banks deposit
tors ready, II necessary, to fight like
as many wildcats against any serious
proposal to communize their six and
half billions of prudent savings for
the benefit of the professional gov
eminent busters.

Our Dead in France.
The Mother of Joyce Kilmer Found
Graves Well Cared For.

To THE NEW York HERALD: 1 wish
to express my hearty approval of the
letter from II. G. Dunn urging the be-
reaved in this country to allow their
glorious dead to lie where they are SO
tenderly cared for by France.

few days before / received the an

my mind.
The poem was Rouge Bouquet" and
tells of the bursting OF a German shell
which buried alive many of the gallant
soldiers OF Joyces regiment, the 165th.
These are the words which no doubt
expressed the feeling Of many of our
boys rs they did his:
There Is on earth no vorthier grave
To hold the bodies OF tho brave
Than this place OF pain and pride.

A Start on Naval Disarmament.

AS reported by the Committee on
Foreign Relations, Senator BoRAH's
naval disarmament resolution, if it
still may be called his in its drasti-
cally amended form, shows wisdom
in its prudence and usefulness in its
elasticity.
The resolution neither proposes to
give to anybody nor offers to accept
from anybody pig in a poke. No
specific plan is laid down. No dog
matte principles are decreed. Moth
ing is taken for granted as to any
other nation. Wherefore the resolu-
ton, in fact, merely invites interna-
tional consideration and negotiation
of the great question Of reducing
naval building programmes annually
during the next five years to such an
extent and upon such terms as may
be agreed upon"
This makes the chance to begin,
If the Powers most concerned, the
United States, Great Britain and
Jupuu, are Ill III cdEHtSL dpOuL Will
ing to begin. 1t leaves open for de-
termination and execution under
treaty contract a fair and square
programme Of what each nation can
reasonably be asked to do and can
afford to do.
The issue for this country to settle
with Itself and with nobody else, as
THE New YORK HERALD has before
stated, is not how many more war
ships we have than Japan, for ex-
ample, but how many more thousands
OF miles OF coast line, how many more
millions Of merchant marine tonnage,
how many more tens OF millions of
population and how many more bill
ions Of wealth we have to defend and
preserve. This being the true bal
ance Of interest at stake, the true
balance of protecting power necessary
10 a relative safeguarding Of our in
terest must be figured accordingly TO
be right for this country and accept
able to its people.

they unfavorably affect the tidal
velocity Of the, harbor The tidal
velocity should be restored to NOR
NAL" according to the Department.
1t should define what 1t means by
normal.
Does the War Department mean
the tidal velocity which existed before
any made land encroached on the
river?
Does the War Department mean
the tidal velocity which obtained be-
fore the United States War Depart
ment doubled the area OF Governors
Island?
Does the War Department mean

the completion of the work for the
permanent enlargement of Ellis ISL

direction of the United States De-
partment of Labor?
In the years these pier extensions
have been In use the North River has
not been the scene Of q disproportioh-
ate number OF marine accidents. The
navigators using the stream under
stand the intrlcacies Of It's tidal We
locity. But neither they nor anybody
else can fathom the depths of the
official mentality which would I'M
necessarily deprive the nations great

essential marine equipment.

Sir Herbert Dixon, Optimist.

Few Americans outside Of the tex
tile industry ever heard of Sir HER
BERT DIXON, who died recently in Eng
land. And yet he and Sir CHARLES
NIAGARA divided honors as the lead
ers Of the spinning and weaving in
dustries, and through decades he
watched these grow until England
supplied the world with upward f
SOC, 100000 yards of piece goods and
100000 pounds of yarns monthly,
position achieved largely through
his energy and initiative.
He was, however, slightly differ
ent type Of man from Sir CHARLES
NIAGARA; not that he exactly shrank
from publicity but because he would
not talk for publication" This ac-
counts for the establishment of the
Manchester Guardian Commercial
that the American newspapers did not
headline him as "Britain's Cotton
King"
On a visit to America Sir HERBERT
was exploited by reporters trying to
get an Interview with him to the
extent Of half a column, his sole con-
tribution being the reiterated answer
to all questions Nothing to say" All
Of which of course did not help spread
his fame in this country as Britain's
cotton king.
But in England his opinions were
deeply respected. One Of the last
functions he attended was q private
dinner given by the Prime Minister
at 10 Downing street. The Chancel-
Tor Of the Exchequer and the President
Of the Board OF Trade were there to
hear the remarks and prophecies Of
the few invited guests, heads of vari-
GUS industries. Sir HERBERT was en-
phatically optimistic with regard to
the cotton trade. He said prices had
fallen below the cost of production, q
condition he did not believe could long
prevail. He predicted a turn for the
better early In 1921. His hobby was
optimism.

The Days Of Expert Evidence.

The death of DR.. WILLIAM j.
O'SuLLlvAN recalls the heyday of the
expert witness. Twenty or thirty
years ago this city had succession
of murder mysteries, each of which
was marked at tina trial Of an &C
cused person by an extraordinary
display Of technical evidence largely
medical. DR.. O'SULLIvAN, man well
versed in the law as well as medicine,
was the earliest of q group Of ex-
perts whose efforts, on one side or the
other, resulted in a great public in
terest in the scientific details of
the crime Of the day.
That was a period of strange kill
ings. Men exercised cunning in the
execution of their wicked plans. The
police were equally acute in solving
the puzzling clues. The District At
torney's office had brilliant criminal
lawyers like De LANcET NIcoLL,
FRANCIS L. WELLMAN and JAMES w.
OSBORNE. And the defence, which
could summon counsel like CHARLES
BROOKE, WILLIAM +. HOWE, FRED
HOUSE and ABE LEVY, could also block
the prosecution with the evidence of
their expert doctors and Psychologists.
Those court dramas far more fas-
chatting than motion pictures. filled
the court rooms In the '90s with eager
auditors. But these shows have disap-
peared, like plays that have had their
run. Now and then crime like the
Elwell case appears to have all the
elements that will lead to return Of
the old days-and then nothing hap
pens No mysteries come to trial, no
great criminal lawyers thunder in the
courts and the voice Of the professor
witness is heard no more. There are
killings all too numerous, but they
are generally rudimentary in ex-
ecution and detection. Murder is now
an industry rather than fine art.

War Risk Insurance.
A Disabled Third Division Man Who

To THE NEW YORK HERALD: In adj

BY deciding that the 100 foot tenn
poary extensions which now make
three North River piers In the Chel-
sea section suitable for use by the
largest transatlantic liners must be
removed forthwith the War Depart
ment has done what lies in Its power
to impair the business Of this port.
Without these extensions the piers
used by the International Mercantile
Marine and the Cunard companies
viii be too short for proper mooring
Of the giant vessels which run on
some OF their routes between Amer
ica and Europe. While in this port
these ships viii have to be tied UP
with their sterns projecting into the
stream, dangerous practice for them
and for other boats using the river.
The permits for these temporary
piers were issued TO meet an en-
Urgency which the Dock Department.
under the administration Of Il. A. G.
SMITH, undertook TO remedy per
manently by building docks inland
above Forty-second street after tie
War Department had refused permits
sion to extend the pier head line
further into the river. In other
words, the city undertook to set the
bulkheads back when It could not set
the pier heads out.
The war needs OF the nation seri-
ously interfered with the orderly and
modern development Of the city's
waterfront, and because Of the dis
organization imposed on the port by
It's devotion to army and navy needs
the permanent works, which would
have made the temporary structures
non-essential II not unnecessary, have
not been completed. IL is therefore
fair to say that as n consequence of
war the city is in the situation which
exists to-day. This fact should have
weight with the War Department In
the reconsideration Of It's decision IL
Is asked 30 make.

Department for insisting on the re-
movai Of the pier extensions r. thss

Judicial district. He obtained from the
Supreme Court an order directing the
Board of Elections and the successful
