Enver Pasha's New Adventure.

According to a cable message from
Constantinople, based apparently
upon authoritative information from
the Caucasus, ENvER Pasha, the for
mer Turkish leader who aligned Tur-
key with the Central Powers in
the world war. is stirring up new
trouble in the Near East. The last
news which the world previously
had of ENvER was that he had
crowned himself King of the Kurds
and had settled down to an investi-
cation of the Kurd treasure chest and
to discovering how he could best de-
feat the allied plans for bringing
peace to the remnants Of the old OF.
toman Empire.
In the first place the Kurds' treas.
ury was empty, In the next place the
Kurds came to the opinion that they
did not wish as ruler man who was
denounced by the Paris Conference as
the most notorious of war criminals
and who was sentenced to death by
the Constantinople Government for
ordering the Armenian massacres,
looting the Turkish treasury and ab-
sconding as a common thief. So the
Kurds went back to their old chief.
tain rule and turned their King loose
for new adventures. ENvER first
sought affiliation with the Turkish
Nationalists, but KEMAI, knowing
and mistrusting his intentions, would
have nothing to do with him.
Smarting under this insult to his
dignity, he made advances TO tbs
Moscow Soviet and was entrusted
with the raising of an army in south
ern Russia and the overthrow of the
half dozen small republics established
in the Caucasus region. The subju
cation Of these weak little States was
comparatively easy task. With an
army back of him il was also no,
difficult for him to force upon thi
people the Soviet rule, with himself
as the chief representative OF Mos
COW. He had thus defeated the Paris
plans for northeastern Turkey, and
he had taken revenge upon the allied
nations. His next move was to even
up matters with KEMAL. He has un
kdertaken to do this by organizing a
Bolshevist force in the Caucasus
with the consent of TRoTzKY, and by
marching against the Nationalist cap
ital at Angora. He is said tc have
promised the whole OF Anatolia ID

Another Great Housekeeper.
Miss Catherine Beecher's Book OF
Cookery and Household Lore.

10 THE NEW YORK HERALD: With no
wish to take single leaf from the
laure.s editorially bestowed on the late
Mrs. Lincoln permit me to say that as a
pioneer of household economy she can
not hold a candle to Miss Catherine
Bcecher, eldest Of that famous family.
Her book-I think It is called simply
Miss Beechers Cook Book"-published
in 1S46, is proof positive that in the mat
ter Of good eating no section could possi-
bly, have surpassed New England at its
best. Indeed, to read 1t is liberal edu-
cation in rich food; she thinks nothing
OF saying Take twenty eggs in some of
her cake receipts and Is otherwise as
generous.
In addition to cookery lore there are
many other things we'll worth while
directions for building brick oven, for
example; for making a water bed to be
used for wasted fever patients, delicate
diets for the ailing. useful hints as to
the care Of children. Altogether I have
found no other single volume so oozing
with wisdom OF its special kind.
And know whereof I speak, having
a wide acquaintance with such literature
and being equipped by practice to judge
the value Of what It Gays. The makers
of 1t for the most part doubtless knew
whereof they wrote, but some Of them
must have cooked by hearsay or evolved
their deliverances from their inner con-
sciousnees. If had the ear of a pub
Usher in search of something really
worth reprinting I should certainly bid
him search out Miss Beecher's book ana
thereby deserve as we'll of this newer
time as she did of the elder cne.

Special Cable TO THE NEW YORK HERALD.
Copyright, 1921, By THE NEW York HERALD.
VIENNA, Dec. THE Allies having
cuing Austria owing to the American
refusal to consent to waive claims
for some s24, 4,000, 900 for foodstuffs Aus
tria is now seeking credit assistance
from her neighbors. Czecho-Slovakia
end Jugo-Slavia. This Is the real reasson n
behind Chancellor Schober's visit to For
eign Minister Benes in Prague, and
THE NEW YORK HERALD correspondent
here is informed that their conversations
will be devoted exclusively to financial
questions, especially the idea Of a
Czecho-Slovaltia loan for financing sup
plies of coal and sugar for Austria,
while Jugo- -Slavia will be asked to sim
ilarly provide credit for fats and other
foodstuffs which the Serbs are able to
export.
Meanwhile Austrian manufacturers are
seeking assistance from private British
firms. For instance, the Berndorfer
metal ware factories, which hitherto
have been considered the Austrian
Krupp. intend TO Immediately increase
their capital 100000 crowns. the new
shares to be handed over to a British
group headed by the ROBERT Whlteneao
and other important British interests.
The final estimate Of the damage
done in the rioting here last Thursday
when many shops and residences were
looted, is 1,250,000 900 crowns. The city
is now quiet. A repetition of the riots
has been made impossible by police re-
endorsements and military contingents
from outside Vienna.
Sir William Goode, British member
of the Austrian section of the Repara-
ton Commission, said the outbursts of
Thursday may be regarded as sign
of worse things If Austria does not get
foreign financial help. which is indfs-
pensable in overcoming the present
crisis This confirms the opinion of
foreigners who are conversant with
Viennese "gemuthlichkeit." One who
was through the Good Friday riots two
years ago told THE NEW YORK HERALD
correspondent that the most notable fea-
ture then was that although the stav-
ing mobs attacked the Parliament Build
ing wealthy automobilists passed
through the streets unmolested and no
attempt was made to destroy private
property. That the privations which
the people have since undergone have
brought about attacks on private prop
erty is very striking sign that the
recent crisis is pregnant with evil posi-
bilities,

has been imposed. In the case of the
Warner-Quinlan Company of New Jer-
sey, referred to the United States Attor-
ney for the District of New Jersey, and
ln which the defendant was accused of
permitting the escape Of oil from its
works at Tremley Point, the penalty Of
$500 was imposed by the District Court,
and on appeal to the United States Dis
trict Court of Appeals for the Third Dis
trict the penalty was confirmed
In addition there are pending In the
Federal courts number of cases re-
ported by the deputy inspectors under
tfis Office against oil burning steam
ships for polluting the harbor by the dis
charge of refuse oil In the waters there
Of in these cases libels have already
been filed.
The information on which convictions
were obtained in these cases was OBJ
aimed by deputy inspectors employed un-
der this office, as It has been it's expert
ence that citizens cannot be depended on
for information leading to a successful
prosecution. as they are averse to furnish
ing other than anonymous communica-
tons and decline to appear as witnesses
upor the ground that it would hurt their
business to have their identity known
this Notwithstanding the fact that the
law authorizes one-half the fine to be
paid to the informant.
In inviting attention to the efforts Of
this Office to protect the harbor of New
York and its tributary waters from in
furious deposits of any kind, including
oil waste, 1t is proper to say that with
the meagre facilities at it's command
much reliance must be placed on the
public spirit of the citizens of this mu-
nicipalty and New Jersey and on the
ccordinated efforts OF maritime and in
dustrial interests to eliminate or at least
to mitigate this menace of the first order.
am glad to inform you that having
last August presented this subject in
mere detailed form to the above men
tened interests and also to the munich
pal authorities. requesting their coopera-
tion, there was Immediately noticeable a
leseening OF the oil pollution evil. From
daily inspections by myself and the dep
uty inspectors of this Office Il is evident
there has been such marked Improvement
tha- feel safe in stating that the waters
Immediately in the vicinity of Manhattan
! Island and along the Brooklyn shores are
to-day freer from OIL pollution than at
any previous period during the last few
years. d. c. HANRAHAN.

Bonding Habitual Criminals.
A Practice Which Permits the Rob-
Der to Keep on RObbing.

To THE New YORK HERALD Society
and the newspapers are complaining Of
the crime wave which overwhelms this
country at present. Through the col
umnc of your influential and widely
circulated journal / desire to call atten-
ton to an evil practice which definitely
Increases the number OF crimes and
which can be stopped.
Certain bonding companies in this
city ard elsewhere furnish bail bonds
to habitual criminals. that is, those who
have previously been convicted of crimes,
the effect being to leave these criminals
free to resume their preying upon so
ciety. sometimes for many months be-
fore their trials can be reached in the
present crowded condition of our GRIM
inal courts, during which period robberies
and many other crimes are committed.
Judge Talley and other Judges OF
the Court Of General Sessions have
again and again. 1t is only necessary,
I believe, to call It to the attention of
tho general public and Of the RESPONSE
bio officials Of the bonding companies
to have It stopped.
The continuation and increase OF the
cr.rne wave has startled our cities from
coast to coast. Many reasons for 1t
have been offered and the blame Is
placed in many quarters. The effect on
the public morale has been dangeroue
and has come ut a most unfortunate
moment Of social and political crisis.
SO long as habitual criminals are
froed Immediately after arrest by the
issuance Of these bonds the crime wave
cannot be expected to decrease. Public
opinion should be brought TO bear upon
this matter of furnishing bail bonds to
such habituai criminals, so that the
problem may be attacked at one of It's
most vicious sources

Audubon classes in the schools of
the State, with a total membership
Of 10,6S9. The interest of these chill
dren promises to insure the perma-
nence of the work.
That New Jersey stands sixth
among the States in the matter of
organization for bird protection dur
ing 1921 is a matter OF pride among
the members of the Audubon socie-
ties. The State occupied similar
position in 1920, and special appeal
is being made for the recruiting of
new members during the coming
year. The educational campaigns
conducted through the newspapers
and by means of lectures illustrated
by photographs and motion pictures
will be continued.
Among the activities planned is
the strict enforcement OF the legis-
lation against stray cats, than which,
in the opinion Of some bird lovers,
there is no greater peril to bird life.
The Montclair Bird Club has induced
the Town Commission to place traps
in strategic spots to rid the town of
vagrant cats. That the surrounding
country is fertile field for the
ornithologist is indicated by the re-
port of Field Secretary BARBOUR,
who says that 1S4 species of birds
were seen during the past season by
members Of the Montclair Bird Club
within six miles of Montclair.

THURSDAY, DECEMBER s, 1921.
DR.. Lorenz Should Stay.

1t is sincerely to be hoped that DR..
LoRENz will not permit himself to be
driven away from this country by
the attitude of few persons who do
not in any way reflect the American
spirit or the ethics of American
medicine.
The great Vienna surgeon is sensi-
tive man. Coming here from a coun-
try which before it was dismem-
bered and reduced to poverty was
one of the Central Powers, he may
have feared that he would encounter
prejudice. That he has met with
none among the masses of the people.
that the American newspapers have
almost without exception hailed him
as great world figure, are facts Of
which he and Americans alike should
be proud.
But few persons, some of them in
DR.. LoRENz's own profession, narrow
in their professional jealousy, have
made sighting remarks. To these
petty manifestations have been added
mutterings to the effect that the great
crthopadic surgeon was mercenary.
There may have been grafters who
traded on fictitious association with
Or. LoRENz. but nobody familiar with
the princely opportunities for fees
which he has declined will doubt DR..
LoRENz's fine motives. On the point
OF accepting remuneration there
could be no more legitimate criticism
of DR.. LoRENz for receiving private
fees for his services than of any
American physician for taking fees.
DIR. LoRENz announced that he had
come to do certain things and he has
kept his promise. He has given of
all Of his strength, even to the verge
OF prostration, for humanity.
DR.. LoRENz should not be misled
by the mutterings Of the few persons
whom Health Commissioner Core
LAND aptly describes as damn fools. "
He should not worry because those
few keep talking about natioualities.
Science and mercy know no boun-
Diary lines. Even assuming that after
three years there remained any Amer
lean animosity toward the wreck OF
Austria, the visit Of DR.. LoRENz went
n great way toward dispelling it; a
longer way than formal treaties Of
reace or visits of diplomats could go.
II DR.. LoRENz should be driven
away by the few small minded and
envious persons his going would be
the cause of shame to the millions
who appreciate not only his genius
Lut his fine spirit. The medical pro-
fession of New York, representative
OF the best in America, should get
together and hold DR.. LoRENz here,
end as an evidence of their good
feeling and their appreciation of his
great work they should give him
such a testimonial as could leave no
doubt of the attitude of the profes-
sion and the people.

Too Liberal With Our Oil.

One sentence can embrace a world
OF meaning when it is uttered by an
authority. WALTER G. TEAGLE, presi-
dent Of the Standard Oil Company of
New Jersey, said at the Chicago
meeting of the American Petroleum
Institute: "The United States has
been doing a little better than its
share toward the maintenance Of
the worlds petroleum supplies"
More than a billion barrels of Pc
troleum have been taken out Of Amer
lean subsoil in the last three years
to promote world commerce and in
dustry. We have supplied the ships,
railways, automobiles, airplanes and
farm machinery of other nations
with fuel, while these nations kept
their own oil sealed in the ground.
We produce IS per cent. of the oil
consumed in the world, and the per-
centage is rising instead of falling,
as It should to conserve our own
supplies. The concentrated demand
OF more than two-thirds Of all oil
consumers centres on our wells. In
1919 this demand reached 24,000,000
barrels. 1t was at the annual rate
Of 575, ,000 900 barrels in some months
Of 1920. In February, 1921, 1t dropped
to the annual rate Of 421, 900, 900, and
IN September last it rose again to
the unprecedented annual rate Of
COS, 100000 barrels. Wide fluctua-
tions in prices, with consequent hard
ships to both consumers and produc-
ers in this country, resulted from the
great variation in demand.
Mr.. TEAGLE prescribes as remedy
for these spasmodic price movements
that we build up big reserve of oil.
We can build up this reserve out Of
domestic output only when foreign
fields, carefully guarded for future
use by other nations, are opened UP
to supply some of the demand In
parts of the world where American
oil is contributing more than its
share.
We are far too liberal with our oil.

Private Vikoren's Anabasis.

One morning in March, 1920, Pri-
vate SYDNEY VIKoREN, Company M,
Thirty-first United States Infantry,
awoke in Nikolsk, ninety miles west
of Vladivostok, Eastern Siberia. His
memory was indistinct. The last
thing he could remember was that he
had gone on vodka party. AS a
choice Of routes he had behind him
Vladivostok and his commanding off,
GER, before him some 5000 miles and
the Atlantic Ocean. He chose the
latter way home.
1t might be natural to suppose that
Private VIKoREN was broke. That
would be the usual result of vodka
party or any other similar party
anywhere in the world So there
was an interesting, IL not exciting,
phase added to his transportation
problem. In year he had reached
Omsk, near the frontier of Russia in
Europe and about 1000 miles from
his starting point. The whole jour
ney seems to have been an alterna-
ton of arrests and releases; but
how much of 1t he tramped and how
much he rode is not stated.
The remainder Of the year and a
half was spent in the journey from
Omsk to Moscow and from there
to Riga, which place he reached
Wednesday of last week. In the
meantime his regiment had left
Vladivostok and Private VIKoREN was
reported as lost. The last lap of his
European journey will be to Coblenz,
where he will be asked to give the
United States military authorities
some of the unreported details of his
adventures.
Private VIKoREN's experience was
more remarkable perhaps than that
Of any other American doughboy. II
has at least a variety which entered
into the service of no other one of
them. When he is back home at
Grand Forks. North Dakota, he will
have some fireside stories for the
winter night. Possibly he may tell
whether or not he regrets that vodka
party in dear old vladivostok.
