Modesty has prevented that martial
Mayor, Major General John F.
Hylan, from revealing the valiant
part he played in holding the un-
fortified City of New York secure
during the dark days of 1917 and
1913. Until yesterday few of the
inhabitants were aware of the mill
tary genius and the consummate
strategy displayed by Richard En-
right. Yet from the moment the
United States entered the war until
the day the armistice was signed
the Police Band and Field Music
were instructed and trained in
saiutes to the Mayor, consisting of
the hourishes and ruffles making up
the honors that are paid to full
major general.
Now we know why those SUBJ
marines which penetrated as close
as Long Island Sound sheered off
iii terror. Their lookouts heard the
hourishes and the ruffles. Th,
Mayor and his escort covered q
great deal of ground. Hardly would
the sound of the fiourishes be stilled
in the vicinity of the City Hall when
the rufflcs would sound near Four
teenth Street and mounted escort
for a major general would clatter
across the Brooklyn Bridge, while
motorcycle outriders would pene-
trate the Bronx to It's remotest
boundaries.
German spies must have believed
from these signs that the city was
absolutely infested with major gen.
erals of stout hearts and ruddy
features. 1t remains, now only for
he city to show its gratitude. Let

Youthful Instabilities

The voice of authority continues
to be raised against the instabilities
of the young. On top of the plea
made by the Rev. Mr.. Stephens, of
the Third Presbyterian Church of
Chicago, that mothers -in-law, de-
clared to be responsible for MANY of
the disturbances of home life,
should be duly educated in the great
art of non-interference, comes the
presentment of the grand jury of
Atlanta:
I'VE believe that this problem I'M
proving the morals of the present
generation] can be solved only when
the mothers and fathers exercise
their jurisdiction as parents and
control their daughters in the old
fashioned way"
The columns of "The London
Times" have recently been filled
with this discussion of the degenera-

OF Professor Caldwell, of McGill

The great danger for Us ia that our

National Housekeeping
Archibald Hopkins Sees Room 70
Improvement in Some Resnrcts

Archibald Hopkins Sees Room for
Improvement in Some Respects
70 the Editor of The Tribune.
Sir: The budget system has been
established for the purpose of improv-
ing our national housekeeping. Rigidly
adhered to and intelligently admins
tered, it will undoubtedly do so.
Are there not other respects in which
our housekeeping can be still further
improved? Nothing can be more con
fdently said of the immediate future
than that there will be this coming
winter large increase of the millions
of our people out Of employment who
We shall have to care for
Last year over 100000 immigrants
landed in this country, and as, count
ing women and children, they could
not have brought an average amount
of $50 apiece, and q very few of them
would have found employment, they
must have gone to swell the ranks of
those without work, who are now be-
ing supported in some way by an over
burdened public. Shall we permit this
enormous increase in the number of
the unemployed from tho outside to
be again unloaded on us during the
coming year?
When the immigration question was
under discussion there was q bill in
troduced stopping all immigration for
year. 1t was wise and timely pro-
posal, and when Congress reconvenes
should be promptly enacted, to pre-
vent the increased distress and dis
turbance which must inevitably follow
the uninterrupted flow of newcomers
In another direction our housekeep-
ing can and ought to be greatly inn
proved. Governments exist and the
heavy taxes they are exacting are
laid to give protection to life and
property. Failing in this, they have no
valid ground for claiming support. Life
and property would be safer to-day if
every man were to arm and defend his
own family, life and property.
Murder and robbery are rampant in
broad daylight, and very few of the
criminals arrested are brought to pun
lshment. OF those convicted only a
small proportion serve out their terms,
and prison life has been made so COM
Portable and agreeable that the
criminal class no longer dread it.
Nothing will check the tide except
preventive law, and the only preventive
law is one which provides a sound
whipping for every burglar, highway
man, rapist and murderer. There is
nothing they dread like that, and moth
ing that will have so deterrent an ef-
feet on the carnival Of crime which is
raging throughout the country
The time has come for the govern
ment, if it is not to abdicate, to give
protection to it's citizens.

New-York tribune., 1921-09-20

3. NJ. Jewell, spokesman or the
railroad shopmen who threaten a
strike, is contemptuous of the pub
lie. Else he would scarcely say that
the walkout will not SO much be to
secure higher wages as to restore
working rules under which men are
not allowed to do fair days work.
Here Is an issue that every one
understands. What is proposed is
to standardize and perpetuate the
sorry business of Stacking on jobs.
The program is to sabotage produc-
tion--not as an emergency measure
to win in a particular industrial con-
test, but as regular and normal
thing. This sinister policy means a
lowered standard of living. 1t can
mean nothing else.
The prosperity of this country
now rests, and has always rested,
on the ability of the average Amer
lean, with his skill, his zeal and his
machine, to turn out larger prod
uct per man than the man Of any
other country.
This product per man is lessened
when two men are ON a job needing
only one. This attacks not only the
general welfare, but particularly the
welfare OF the half workers. MI.
Jewell may be aiming at railway en-
ployers, but he is hitting railway
employees.
No union can repeal the mathe-
matical law that when 100 is divided
by 10 there is a quotient of 10, while
divided by 20 there is a quotient of
5. The surest and quickest way to
bring wages down is to increase the
number Of workers without a CORE
spending increase in the product.
Not only is enlarged production
the bringer of golden eggs in the
way of better food, clothes, shelter,
more leisure and comforts and lux
uries, but it exalts the soul. 1t is a
condition Of all growth. Watch a
half worker. He tends to be half a
man. 1t is good to run swiftly and
to do with our might. Nature gave
US faculties not for rust, but for use.
Whether railway wages are too high
or too low under the award of the
Labor Board is complicated ques-
ton, as to which there may be diff
ferences of opinion. But there is no
basis for differences of opinion as to
the significance and effect of work
limiting shop rules. Both in inception
and development they are hopelessly
bad. The hold they have secured in
America in recent years is per-
nicious, 1t is time to root them out
If Mr.. Jewell has no better reason
for his proposed strike than the one
he gives, then the strike is lost be.
fore it is begun. It's assault on the
foundations of high wages is toe
much in plain sight. The shop rule
is the enemy Of high wages, and the
American has sense enough to prefer
high wages.

Ask the State Department

To the Editor Of The Tribune.
Sir: Doubtless many readers Of The
Tribune will recall reading that several
American scientists who accompanied
President Wilson to Paris had. with
others, spent upward Of thirteen
months in collecting data referring to
the boundary lines Of various CONT
mental countries, which were to be used
IN cooperation with the British and
French governments. 1t was stated
that there were three truck loads Of
these records, which were only q part
of what had been prepared relating to
these boundaries.
The writer has often wondered if
any use ever was made of these records
and what became of them. Of course
it would be difficult to pursue an inves-
tlgation into the disposition which ul-
timately was made of various suppos-
edly valuable articles that the war oc-
casioned to be procured by the govern
ment. The writer merely instances a
single case and feels interested to
learn the whereabouts of the three
truckloads of records. L. C. BREED.

The Burgenland Issue

The Burgenland district, over
whelmingly German in population
and sentiment, was awarded to
Austria by the Treaty of Trianon.
But the Hungarian government.
though it signed the treaty, has en-
couraged and even instigated propa-
ganda against obedience to it. For
weeks previous to the date set for
the transfer preparations for armed
resistance to the Austrian occupa-
ton were carried on by agents of
the Magyar government, and when
Austrian forces were sent to put into
effect the settlement agreed to by
both Hungary and the Entente thew
met with armed resistance on the
part of what were discreetly de-
scrlbed as Hungarian irregular
bands. In fact, these s'bands" were
either more or less disguised units
OF the Horthy army Or else volun.
teer formations led by Horthy's
officers. So far, however, this open
defiance of the will of Europe and
OF international law and order has
succeeded. Law-abiding Austria is
thus at the mercy Of the militarist
government of Horthyfied Hungary,
violator of pledges and general dis
turber of European peace.
The Burgenland episode is a
symptom of the general attitude of
the Magyar government toward its
treaty obligations and toward the
European settlement in general. Re-
sponsible Hungarian statesmen
headed by Regent Horthy himself,
have on various occasions declared
that Hungary signed the Treaty OF
Tr1anon merely to gain time for the
reorganization of her army. At this
very moment the Budapest govern
ment strains the patience of Hun
gary's neighbors by refusing to COM
ply with the provision of the treaty.
ordering the reduction of the Magyar
army to $4,000 men. The Magyar
government has camouhaged sub
stantial portion of it's armed estab-
llshment as railway guards, fire de-
partment units, college marksman-
ship organizations and what not.
Recruiting Offices and draft regis
tries have been disguised as statisti-
cal bureaus.
The Horthy policy obviously aims
at upsetting the entire organi-
zation of the Continent as created
by the treaties of Versailles, Trianon
and st. German. The Horthy CLIQUE,
which to-day rules Hungary. acts
as the vanguard of the vast Junker
conspiracy which has it's headouar-
ters under the protection of the
White government of Bavaria. The
relations between Horthy and the
bavarian and Austrian royalists and
mllitarists, exposed the other day in
special Berlin dispatch to The
Tribune, are OF old standing.
For the powers of the Little En-
tente TO feel uneasy under these cir
cumstances is natural. The policy
OF the Budapest militarists is di-
rected against their existence in the
first place. To nip in the bud the
Burgenland adventure is for them
Imperative. The report that Italy.

New-York tribune., 1921-09-20

The provinces of Tacna and africa,
in northern Chile, have often been
called the Alsace-Lorraine problem of
South America, and in measure this
is true. Sentimentally the disputed
territory continues to serve as bar
ricr to more natural and friendly re-
lations among Peru, Chile and Bolivia,
whereas, patriotically, it can be used
to solidify and aggravate national
spirit.
Industrially the provinces are most
important. Chile derives almost 70 per
on nitrete, and since the vast nitrate
deposits are almost wholly within the
disputed area there is small wonder
that citizens Of both countries react
Immediately to any suggestion OF plan
that would attempt to settle the ques-
tion finally. Moreover, for an outsider
to discuss the matter may connote an
warranted meddling. Latins are no
more sensitive than we are when ma
tional ideals and issues are involved.
Yet one may be pardoncd, 1 think, if
he states frankly his own personal
views in regard to the matter and tries
in the best way he can to show the
sincerity of his observations.
The Treaty of Ancon
The disputed territory consists of
tvvn 4 n~,c IL
square miles, with population of
about $4,000. The provinces are not
important except for the rich nitrate
deposits. There is very little farming
of any kind, no manufacturing and but
little mining interests other than
nitrate. In the Treaty Of Ancon, signed
October 20, 1883, Chile practically die
tated the terms. Her defeat of Peru
and Bolivia had been SO decisive that
she was able to insist that the Peruvian
provinces should be occupied by her
for period Of ten years, at which time
it was agreed that a plebiscite be held
and that whichever country received
the provinces was to pay 10000, 900
pesos. Peru, due to her weakened con-
dition and political instability, could
do nothing but submit to the demands.
Immediately upon the ratification of
the treaty Chile began to Chi1eanize
the provinces, so that at the end of the
ten-year period she was ready to sub
nit the question to popular vote. In
the mean time, as the day of election
drew near, Chilean forces to the num-
ber Of $4,000 were thrown into the ter
ritory ostensibly for the purpose of
keeping order during the election. Peru
complained that such large force was
not necessary, and insisted that in
counting voting population only those
should be enumerated who were
living there prior to 1883. Chile re-
fused the request, and so the matter
was not submitted to arbitration.
Later Peru was able to pay the in
demnity of 100000 pesos, and in
formally, it is said, made overtures to
Chile. The latter refused, however,
stating as reason that such procedure
was not fulfilling the terms of the
Treaty of Ancon. Thus the matter has
dragged along with intermittent fare
ups until it has become most salts
factory political and economic nostrum.

to see the old question exhumed with
all its pyrotechnic splcndor; if labor
troubles become. acute the real situa-
sion is skillfullt diverted into pseudo

The 7acna-Arica Question
Onookcr Opinion That Chile Has the Weaker End of The
Argumen-But She Has the Provinces.
BY Arnold A. Mckay
Former United States Consul Amtofagosta, Chile

settlement now as it ever was.
The war, however, has clarified GER
tain sides of the controversy. The
Chilean citizens in the provinces have
been most active since the war. Or
ganizations of citizens, known as Ligas
Patrioticas, composed exclusively of
Chilean patriots, have been formed os-
tensibly for the purpose of keeping
active the nucleus of Chilean interests.
Actually, however, these leagues have
been most effective in terrorizing and
expelling from the provinces Bolivian
and Peruvian citizens. They have
chased out such citizens by giving
them notice that they must leave be-
fore certain date under penalty of
violence. Consequently Bolivians and
Peruvians have left posthaste, selling
their lifetime earnings at a heavy
loss.
Of course the action of the league
had no official governmental sanction,
yet there is no proof that much atten-
tion was paid to it by the newspapers
or that the Chilean government made
any serious effort to punish such acts
OF unwarranted authority.
The Chilean government has, In a
, way, abetted the Wholesale exodus of
Peruvians and Bolivians. In 1918 the
government, wishing to safeguard the
81 \
ary elements, required that every for
eigner residing or travelling through
Chile must present himself at the near
est police headquarters and be regis
tered. A minute and accurate register
was made of the foreigner-his finger
prints, photograph, personal character
lstics-everything in the most approved
police method. Such a census. of
course, gave valuable information. 1t
showed Immediately how many for
elgners there were in the country and
also how many Peruvians and Boliyians
there were, particularly in the dis
puted territory. Similarly it will serve
as excellent data in the event that the
problem is finally adjudicatcd around
the arbitral table.
EStrense Tieics
There the matter rests to-day. Cen
orally speaking, sentiment is not yery
much divided. One must admit. if he
knows anything at all about the oues-
ton, that Chile has the weaker end
OF the argument. Yet every nation has
skeletons in its closet that cannot he
looked at too closely. OF course the
old stock argument is that the prov
'nces are better off under Chilian con-
troll than they could possibly have been
under Peruvian or Bolivian administra-
tion. Such argument is static and is
comparable only to the other view that
inasmuch as Chile remained neutral
throughout the war she should now
have very little consideration in a
world that is prepondcrately Ally in
sympathy. They arc both extreme
views and are not worth considering.
Just now, then, Peru and Bolivia
seem to have the better end of the
popular decision, but Chile has the
provinces. The whole question is
purely domestic ono and outside
meddling is neither encouraged nor
sought The American government
should have no concern about it unless
our counsel as friend to all parties is
earnestly desired. Yet this lost prov
inces will continue to be the sore spot

TWIN CITIES WILL HAVE CLUB IN NEW
 BASEBALL LEAGUE

Albany, April 21.-(Specia)-St CTS in the new AIbany-Decatur baseball club will meet Wednesday night in the rooms of the Albany chamber of com merce to perfect the organization and elect officers. The club will be incor- porated Thursday, according to present plans.
 Local committees today had subscrip- tions in hand sufficiently large to en- able the Twin Cities to make application for berth in the new North Alabama Tennessee league, it was stated.
 A meeting will be held here Thursday of representatives of the Twin Cites, Columbia, Sheffield and Huntsville when it was planned to arrange the organiza- tion of the league and adopt schedule.
 The circuit will be class D and af- filiated with organized baseball.
 It is planned now to begin the season about June l and complete it on Labor Day. The four clubs making up the new league are near the same size in population and as there is intense good is expected that the league will furnish a close penant chase.
 It was planned at tonight's meeting to officially elect manager for the local club and it is expected that Gordon Me Duff, local star, will be named for the job. McDuff has had many years of professional experience, last year hand ling club in the Delta league.
