Plea for Lake Hopatcong.
Mr.. Serviss Wants to Keep a Beauty
Spot for the Public.

To THE NEW YORK HERALD: As
citizen of New Jersey ! am Interested
In the preservation of all of her beau
tiful and benehcent natural gifts. Among
these Lake Hopatcong Is unique. In
rarity of situation, picturesqueness OF
detail. beauty OF scenery, sanity of en-
yironment and convenience OF location

lation l hardly know where 70 find its
equal.
But as a pool Of drinking water for
distant city, guarded round with re-
strictions against human residence and
natural human use and enjoyment Lake
Hopatcong would lose all OF Its attrac-
ton for the people at large ano all
OF it's usefulness for the inhabitants
OF that part OF the State to which u
belongs. To sacrifice In that way one
OF it's most notable geographical fea-

Warships for Cargo Carriers.

Naval disarmament may or may
not be long way off, but there Is no
doubt that at some future date the
maritime Powers will have on their
hands a large amount of naval tom
nage Of apparently no practical use.
In time Of war surplus merchant ton

can be used as auxiliary naval cruis-
ers and as transports. The conver-
sion of war vessels 70 peace uses is
not so simple. Usually when their
period Of usefulness in active naval
duty passes they are scrapped or shot
to pieces as targets.
Nevertheless an interesting and sue

where the former imperial German
navy yard Is now operated by the
free city as trustee. The two Ger

much discussion among shipping au-

The two vessels were purchased by
private concern In 1910. II was
the original intention to break them
up and sell the material, but the
purchasers found the hulls In such

The average Engllshman Is topped
with level head for business. 1t Is
not surprising, then, that other Than
supporters of the Asquith party are
questioning what Great Britain and
France are getting or are going TO
get out of the Rhineland occupation
In the way of cold cash, which Is
what France needs and what Brit
ain wants.
Sir GEORGE PAIsH, who has been
not political opponent but q imam
cial adviser Of the Lloyd George GOV
ernment. does not imagine that sane
tions" can pay bills as indemnity can.
He recommends strongly an arbitra-
tion award to yield payments.
Il. GARvIN, editor of the Observer,
one of LLOYD GEORGES warmest sup
porters, insists the Germans "cahnot
escape the discharge In some shape
of their liability" They must come
to some better agreement than DR..
SIMoNs proposed" But nobody, he
declares with great vigor, is getting
ANYTHING ont of the present pro-
gramme; everybody is losing. So an
other effort must be made to reestab-
llsh programme under which Ger
many can work. export and pay, and
Great Britain and France can trade
and receive reparation payments.
The Observer urges that some
thing be settled on for five years
which the Allies can collect" Then
let the rest be submitted to "a COM
plete review by some authoritative
tribunal with a neutral or an Aneri-
can element added to It."
In other words, great and power
ful influence in Great Britain, com
posed not only Of the political oppo'
Sition to the party In power bet OF
Independent bodies and even some of
LLOYD GEORGES own followers. is de-
manding what THE New YoEK HER
AID suggested when 1t first became
apparent that there was an indem-

Council and Germany. This sugges-
tion of THE New York HERALD was
for a determination by neutral and
disinterested third party of what
Germany can pay and should pay.
Now, with a growing British Genti-
ment demanding such course when
nothing in the nature Of reparation
or of satisfaction is coming out of the
policy of occupation, this arbitration
suggestion may begin to appeal t. the
practical minds OF France as well as
0f England.
Italy, one Of the Big Four. favors
such way out of the present stale
mate. Neutrals like Holland and the
Scandinavian countries also favor
mediation. 1t is, In truth. we sub
init again, an indemnity solution
which will make for the interests of
the Allies and of Europe as well as
for world peace.

900 dead soldiers of the American
expeditionary army came home yes

the funeral ship came slowly up the

receive them with a feeling that Is
equally compounded OF grief and
pride.
Some Of them are her own sons and

Help the Starving Chinese.

President HARDING's appeal to all
Americans to help the starving
Chinese emphasizes once more the
obligation which the suffering In the
afflicted provinces lays on all humane
men. The distress resulting from
two years of crop failure is terrible;
the outlook Is more terrible, for con-
ditions exist now which, unless help
is promptly and generously given,
will prevent even planting this year.
This would mean extension Of the
area In which the suffering Is acute
and continuation of the famine with
incalculable consequences. The suf-
fering people must have food to sus-
tain them and seed to put in their
fields. Food and seed must come
from those who can afford to spare
money or It's equivalent. The farm
ers in this country have offered of
their surplus crops freely; many per-
sons have contributed money gener-
ously; but the need IS still urgent.
1t will simplify the work OF the
administrators OF the relief organi-
zation If checks are sent direct to the
China Famine Fund, Bible House,
New York city. A number of friends
of this newspaper have sent their
gifts to us, asking us to forward them
to the proper authorities. This SER
vice we have been glad to do, and
shall be glad to do in the future, but
the simplest thing for givers to 10 is
to write direct to the headquarters
of the fund.

Rail Rates and Wages.

In one sense the railroads as
whole, under the present law, cannot
90 to financial perdition, wage cuts
or no cuts, better business or worse
business If there We're no other
way to meet their payrolls, their liked
charges and their taxes, not to men
ton investment return, the Interstate
Commerce Commission would be COM
pelled, under the law, to provide more
revenue by putting up the traffic
rates again.
But the railway managers now
realize, as we'll as the economists,
that excessive traffic rates slaughter
railway business. And everybody
ought to realize as well as the econo-
mists that the business Of the rail-
roads cannot be slaughtered without
the business of the country being
slaughtered. In the long run, there
fore, with the country's industry ana
business undergoing dry rot because
of the prohibitive cost of distributing
products, many Of the countrys rail-
roads eventually would become mere
streaks Of rust.
Since the health and strength or
the railroads, whatever the traffic
rates, depend. like the health and
strength Of the country, on a grow
ing business, there isn't responsible
railway manager to-day that Is talk
ing higher rates. On the contrary,
they would about as lief take a dose
of poison as another colossal traffic
rate increase. What they want now
is for the rates to go down, as soon
as ever they can 60 down, SO as to
make more business.
If the railway wage earners also
don't want rates to go down, then
they want to kill their Jobs. Millions
Of tons of freight cannot go off the
carriers without tens of thousands
of railway workers going off the pay
rolls. Hundreds of thousands Of the
public cannot stop travelling without
thousands more Of the workers losing
their employment as passenger trains
are abandoned, consolidated or other
wise curtailed. On the other hand,
anything that will increase the busi-
ness of the carriers will first stop the
throwing of men out of their jobs and
next begin to refill the vacant jobs.
The economic readjustment which
is absolutely necessary to restore the
country from a war basis to a peace
basis cannot take place without re-
vision of abnormal wage scales along
with abnormal costs of production
and abnormal selling prices. Further
more, that economic readjustment is
inescapable; as inescapable rs death.
But with everybody doing his part to
work out the inevitable readjustment
It can be brought about smoothly and
expeditiously as compared with the
violent shocks and prolonged penalties
that must be suffered If industries,
whether railroads or mills, and work
ers, whether producers or distribu-
tiers. come into headon collisions.
In the years before the railroads
Of the United States were bedevilled
by Government operation railway
workers were particularly distin-
guished for their common sense, their
teamwork and their loyalty. 1t will
be strange indeed IL the Glenn Plumbs
and Sam Gomperses have so muddled
the hitherto level heads Of the trans
portation wage earners that they can
not now see what to the workers in
the textile mills, the steel plants, the
copper mines and other industrial
fields is as clear as sunshine.

A Bargain by Mistake.
From the london DalLv Mail.

The Court OF Cessation, the highest
French appeal court has given an interest
ing decision. While a Paris bookseller was
away from his shop recently his assistant
was asked by collector the price OF copy
Of the si-s' rdltion on fine paper OF zola's
"Assomnis,r, limited 10 seventy-five copies.
The assistant replied by mistake 2s shillings.
instead of $50 shillings. The collector paid
rs shilllngs and took the book away. When
the bookseller found out tho error he asked
the collector 70 return the book In exchange
for the money or else TO pay the balance.
The collector refused TO do either. Now the
Court Of Cassation hos declared that as
the collector knew there had been mis-
tago he had been guilty OF fraud and the
rale was void.
