A Paris Of the Seas

The arrival in American waters of
the Paris, the magnificent new liner
which the Compagnie Generate
Transatlantique has contributed to a
further cementing Of French and
American contacts and sympathies,
has been fifty made an occasion of
ceremony. Such ship is an ambas-
sador Of good will. 1t breaches mutu-
ality of national interests. 1t SILENT
ly influences through the years the
throngs that move across it's decks.
As knowledge and friendship come
with commingling, Ignorance and
her children, Suspicion and Distrust,
go overheard
The celebration was marked by a
graceful message from, Ambassador
Herrick, known and loved and be-
come q legend throughout France as
the man who wouldn't go to Bor-
deaux--who said his duty was to re-.
main in Paris. The name borne by
the new vessel. aroused in him, he
indicated, very sacred and tender
memories, and he regretted that,
through postponement Of his, de-
parture, he would be unable to step
at once from the American shore to
q Paris of the seas.

To the Editor Of The Tribune.
Sir: The first days of hot weather
remind US Of the summer discomforts
of men, and this leads me to write that
in all the good your paper has done
for the poor and needy have not been
aware of your having ever started any
movement for the freeing of our male
inhabitants from the bondage of style
the uac omfortable, unwanted and
unhealthful burden Of wearing coat
in hot weather.
Most people say they would welcome
the change, but ''let some one else start
it" Some think a man couldn't leave
his coat off, because his shirt is al
ways mussed. but mans shirt would
not be any more mussed than a
woman's shirtwaist If he didn't wear
the coat to muss It up.

The Hobo of Yesterday
His Good Points Recited by 0ne
Who Knew the Species Well


To the Editor Of The Tribuns.
Sir: In your issue of June ia @Sals
bush Bill" descants on the "Hobo," Of,
as he is called in Australia, the @Sun-
downer." Bill tells about old nan
Tyson, the millionaire stockman o.
Australia, and his peculiarities. re-
member old man Tyson myself. When
mere boy, ranging around the antipo-
des and South Seas, met old Jimmy
Tyson at the Menzies Hotel, in Mel
bourne. The stories Bill tells Of bin
are true, but the old man must hsye
been dead these many years.
In this country the old-fashioned
hobo, fear, is no more. Years age,
when the West and Southwest were be-
ing opened up by railroads and what
are now great trunk lines, no construc-
tion camp was complete without its
quota of the simon pure, honest-to-
goodness hobo. When he did work he
worked hard and earned his money
anywhere from the Great Lakes TO the
Gulf and from the Ohio to the Golden
Gate.
I knew lots of hoboes, from sBoz
Car Casey" to "Spiker Sullivan" snd
more versatile, hardy, healthy and gen
orally square men it would be hard to
find while they were on the JOB during
the spells between the vanderbilt and
a desire to "roIl in the sawdust" in the
saloons of Kansas City, Chicago, Den'
yer or San Francisco. We're a doctor
should certainly prescribe tour de
hobo for any male patient suffering
from anemia, indigestion or geners
lack of pep. Such prescription wouia
either kill or make man of him.
Amy of the oldtime construction su-
perintendents or contractors who hsys
helped develop this great country o.
ours will remember lots Of koboes ana
may perhaps have ridden IN side-do'f
Pullmans themselves. Things have ssr'
tainly changed, and the construction
worker Of to-day is not In il when u

General Dawes's Program

In exercising his powers as the
head of the Federal Budget Bureau
General Dawes intends to supple
nAent what he calls the "pitiful
machinery" offered him by the bud
get act. He will call in volun-
teers to help make the first budget,
as the "dollar a year" men were
called in to help run the war.
The General understands the value
Of publicity aand the pull of the
spectacular in getting new enter
rrises started. The more success
fully public attention is focused on
the reorganization of governmental
operations the easier it will be to rout
the forces which will oppose reor-
ganization from motives of self-in-
terest No bureaucrat likes to sur
render power, and in Washington
the departments and bureaus have
We'd with one another for years in
extending their activities and their
pay rolls.
The head of the budget service prob
sbly will need outside experts to sus-
tain him in his differences of opinion
with government officials who are
used to the old way of doing things
and want to stick to it. Yet in the
departments many men may be
found who see that the ancient
easy-going method, inherited from
the days when the office-holding
class were welded into a political
machine, is out of date and must
yield to the theory that the govern
ment's primary function is to con-
duct public business on a sound en-
gineering basis. These men, who
know the ins and outs of depart
mental imitation and duplication, may
be of more use eventually than any
reorganizers from the outside. 1t
is only fair to Congress to say that
it may have framed the budget act
with the understanding that reform,
to be lasting, must come from inside.
General Dawes's criticism of Con-
gress concerned detail in The
budget act. But he has been prompt
to repudiate the Islander, so widely
spread, that Congress has shown no
interest in reorganization and re-
trenchment. He says very justify:
at is popular misconception that
Congress is primarily responsible for
the extravagant expenditures of the
government. For twenty years, in
cluding 1916, before we went into
the war, there were only two years
when Congress did not reduce the
appropriations asked for by the un-
coordinated departments of the gov
ernment In the last two years it
has cut down the appropriations re-
quested by the departments by bill
lions of dollars. 1t is Congress which
has created the reorganization COM
mittee and the Budget Bureau in
order to give the President and Con-
gress the information necessary for
| them to meet the existing emergency"
| He is going to do inside the execu-
| tive esta blishment what Congress has
| been trying for years to accomplish
through resistance to extravaganza.

An End

The public declaration of Lord
Curzon, the British Foreign Secre-
tary, that the Geneva League Of
Nations is a failure may be re-
garded as bringing to an end the
long -protracted discussion Of this
league and of Americas proper re-
lations thereto. Great Britain is a
member of the league; is still loyal,
it may be assumed, to it's underly-
ing principles; but facts are facts,
and the British government appar-
emily sees no virtue in denying them.
A great mistake was made, first
at Paris, but later and more fatally
at Washington. A great oppor-
tunity was lost and a high hope
brought to naught by Mr.. Wilson
and those of his party who blindly
followed his leadership. The world
saw infanticide committed. Mr..
Wilson made the impossible demand
that the covenant, exactly as he
signed it, be accepted, and when it
became manifest that such accept
arlce could not be secured said in
effect. that he preferred the slaugh-
her of the instrument to its amend
ment. Why he followed this course
is matter for debate, but that he
followed it is not.
For a year the ratification Of the
treaty and consequent entry of
this country into the league were
within easy grasp. The opposition
OF the so-called "irreconcilables'
would have been futile through lack
of votes except for White House or
ders to Wilson Senator'S to vote with
the irreconcilables against the rati-
tication that was rendered. And il
we had been allowed to enter the
league it might have been going
concern, and the Curzon speech
might never have been delivered.
The open burial of the league by
the British Foreign Secretary light
ems the task of the Harding Admin
istration. Its chief, who had voted
twice for ratification, was elected on
g platform which expressed approval
OF his record, but as to the future
made no league promises. In the
campaign Mr.. Harding, often de-
ciaring In favor Of an international
union or association to promote
peace, as often declared that he did
not and could not know the conditions
that would exist after his election
hence could not bird himself to 4
precise course. The 1000, 600 ma.
jority given to him expressed ap.
proval of this common sense attitude
Events have vindicated the Prasi,
dents convictions new condition
has come. In France and Italy, nc
less than in Great Britain, the break
down of the league is admitted
When a matter Of international con.
cert, involving possible peace or war,
arises, ambassadors consult, not the
delegates accredited to Geneva.
The business is considered BY the
S:,prcnle Council and not by the
ieague's council. Except as to a
fsw minor matters the league does
ret junction.

tend to know anything about fish, al
though we once caught perch and we
have frequently been grabbing, but
even in our ignorance we hazard he
opinion that the exploits of Grim the
Pike are overdrawn. Even if all the
incidents in Svend Fleuron's highly
colored novel of under water life were
true, we would still be less than en-
thusiastic about the book. A fish is
not altogether satisfactory as a hero.
We would much prefer another story

Producing new collegiate hero to

advetures of Chester Merriweil,
younger brother of Frank and Dick,
at Yale. Chester, according to the
plan, is to be complete bust. He will
follow the Merriwell tradition of never
coming to bat without finding three
men on base, but he will meet the
crisis in new way and either strike
out or hit into double play. Natural
| ly it will be Chester who will leap high
into the air after the Harvard CAP

hands on the ball drop it. Recover
ing quickly, he win let loose terrific

into the grandstand. Later, however.
Chester will find his particular bent

METHODIST
The elimination of the Great Ed
ucational Movement.

Men and women of vision of all
churches, agree that there has never
been more potential and vital move
ment in the Protestant churches than
the Educational Movement, 1t is not
so much the mere question of educa-
ton but the kind of education the
church and world must have if we are
to have any church or world worth
while.
The lessons of the world war en-
pasize, as never before, this fact. Inc
of the most fundamentally empera-
tive things of our day is the Chris
tainizing of all education.
The Kingdom cannot live and
achieve without trained leaders. Just
now all our churches are fatally short
in men, both for the pulpit at home
and for all sorts of workers in the
foreign fields. Professionalism needs
today not less than 100000 trained
leaders for both her home and forei-
gn work. The M. E. Church South
needs, 5000.
They do not come, but with rare
exceptions, other than through church
schools. The church that will not pro-
vide the means for its supply must
step aside and let others who have Wis
ion and liberality take her crown!
