The finest thing in connection with
the long trip back toward normalcy,
a considerable part of which has been
covered during the year just closing
has been the willingness with which
the more fortunate people of the
world have eased the burden of the
unfortunate. In America, especially,
has this been true where millions OF
dollars worth of supplies have been
sent to save the lives of the hungry
and naked in Europe and the Near
East Sometimes we may have given
unwisely, through the influence Of the
over-zealous, but in the main we have
given where the need was great and
we are a better people for having

While there is considerable crlt1-
cism of the stand France has taken Oh
the question of limitation of submarine
tonnage, the world should not forgel
that France has suffered terribly IL
war. AS the result of the recent war,
her young manhood is gone, many OF
her cities are masses of wreckage and
large areas of her land must be re-
claimed. Then there is the war OF
1870 to recall, with it's horrors ano
the heavy indemnity which France
was forced to pay. France is very
naturally a little bit nervous. She Is
also financially embarrassed and it is
certain that she will not spend any
more money for armament, either Oh
land or on sea, than she considers
absolutely necessary for her pro
lection. She could safely follow out
the disarmament plan proposed by the
United States, and probably will
sooner or later. Just now 1T is evil
dent that she don't know just what
she wants to do.

Justice to Santo Domingo

In the statement concerning the
evacuation of Santo Domingo by the
United States is a stipulation that
the commissioners representing the
Dominican Republic in the negotia-
.tions are to be appointed by the
American Military Governor. Unless
Article So of the Dominican consti-
tuition modifies this stipulation it
marks an unusual departure in the
manner of selecting negotiators, as
the United States not only chooses
It's own representatives but also
those of the opposing state. Under
the circumstances it is to be expect
ed that the American Military Gov
ernor will merely act in the capacity
of Chief Executive, pro tempore, of
the republic, who under normal re-
lations would designate delegates to
consider the terms of such a conven-
ton. To exercise this power in anv
other spirit would be intolerable to
Dominicans and Americans alike.
These Dominican commissioners
are expected to ratify all acts of
the American military government.
If such ratification be retroactive it
Is not inconceivable that it NAV
work injustice. There are often
. broad provisions such as this one in
negotiating treaties which, if ac-
cepted without qualification, pro-
duce results that are incompatible
with the general spirit of the ne
gotiatlons. To obviate this in the
present instance, would it not be
well to add proviso that cases
arising under this section in which
injustice is claimed Should be ex-
anined by mixed commission?
Certain citizens of Santo Do
mingo have objected to the terms
of the new $2,5oO,000 loan, fear
ing, apparently, that it increased the
republics debts unnecessarily. Ac-

book reviewers have much to say
about books that are written and pub

'Briefer Mention,' Holiday Juveniles,

tant point concerning the publishing of
books for children. You who have only
one child can hardly know how few
books there are that interest children
Of different ages and different sexes.
But to the parents who have a girl of
five or six and a boy of nine or ten
the problem of getting books that will
interest the two children is not an
easy one to solve. And if you knew
how difficult it is to properly (what-
ever this may mean) entertain two
wild young things whose libidos are
just beginning to sprout you would
appreciate how vital this problem is
for parents who can't afford the flock

Two Betsy ROSES

Sir: The letter which speaks of "The
Flags Origin" and of Betsy Ross re-
ceiving the trough sketch as a basis
for a design for the flag" viii probably
call forth some dissent, since the story
of Elizabeth (more familiarly known
as Betsy) Ross having made the first
flag is disputed.
We had in our town until two years
ago a great-grandson of this Elizabeth
Ross, who remembered hearing MS
grandmother tell the story OF Betsy
making the flag. He said that the pos
sible reason for dispute was that there
were two Betsy Rosses. AS some peo-
pie knew that the other Betsy Ross
did not make the flag they were IN
credulous.
Mr.. White, Betsy Ross's descendant
here, showed me the old family record

The Amherst Centenary

The centenary of Amherst College,
which occurs this week, an event un-
der any circumstances of interest to
the educational world, is of special
interest now, when on the one hand
there is complaint of the fewness of
students in theological seminaries,
and, on the other hand, some uni
versity heads are seriously discus
sing the question whether there
should not be limit set upon the
numerical growth of their institu-
tions.
Amherst was founded as theolog-
ical seminary for "indigent young
men of promising talents and hope
full piety who shall manifest de-
sire to obtain a liberal education
with sole view to the Christian
ministry" But that sole view"
was early abandoned and the college
became simply an institution of lib
era1 culture under Christian inhu-
ences. AS such it has doubtless done
far more for the advancement of
Christian culture than it could or
would have done had it's students
been confined to candidates for the
ministry. 1t has, indeed, been the
alma mater of many eminent preach
ers, including the most noted of all
pulpit orators of our time, Henry
Ward Beecher But it has also sent
into all walks of life thousands of
graduates permanently nodded by
their training.
Amherst has been content to re-
main for hundred years a college,
and has not sought to expand itself
into university. 1t has been and
is a typical college," conspicuous
among those institutions which ju-
dicious educators generally regard
as invaluable, and perhaps as con-
stituting the real heart of our higher
educational system. The universi-
ties are of course indispensable for
professional, postgraduate and re-
search work. But their service of
necessity stresses specialization and
thereby minimizes broad culture and
the great business of character
building. In the end it may easily
be that the colleges will ccsse aping
the universities and the universities
in turn will give up their academic
departments. If this change occurs
Amherst may we'll claim that in one
respect her consistent course has
pointed the way.

A Matter of Manners

The protest of the clergy against
being held up to ridicule in motion
pictures has a substantial basis. Re-
cent statistics tend to show that it
is becoming increasingly difficult
to get recruits for the pulpit. If
ministers are constantly presented
on the screen as mollycoddles this
will certainly not help to lead young
men to enter the service of the
churches.
That irreverence is becoming more
general and that things which are
sacred to numbers of people are not
respected are matters of common
observation. At bottom this is not,
perhaps, so much a matter of vary
ing points of view as of manners.
AS individuals most of us respect
the point of view of those with whom
we differ, at least by not outwardly
deriding them. But some motion
picture managers appear to be re-
gardless of the feelings of others
That is not as it should be.

nouncement, however, the purpose
of the loan is "to complete the
public works which arc now in
actual course of construction" In
other words, certain improvements,
such as roads, have been started by
the American forces Of occupation
which can and should be brought to
prompt completion. In the opinion
of the American authorities the
sum of $2,500,o00 is needed to do
this and the state of the Dominican
Treasury holds out no hope Of rails
ing that amount by taxation. To
leave uncompleted such public
works is naturally bad economics.
The convention draft also pro-
vides for an American military mis-
sion to assist in the organization of
a state constabulary known as the
"Guardia Nacional." The nature of
the mission is the same as that of
the various military missions sent
by European countries to South
America to assist in the training
and organization of local forces.
The intent is to train a Dominican
constabulary capable of maintaining
order throughout the republic. The
expressed duty of the American mis-
sion is to obtain the competent or
ganization of this Guardia Nacional.
Whatever the differences of opin-
ion about the letter or the form of
the negotiations with the Dominican
Republic, they must not be permitted
to interfere with the rendering of
complete atonement to Santo Dol
mingo for Mr.. Wilson's act of inter
national piracy in 1916.

been called "a cyclonic boy in

white, and we read that there is
nothing distinctly Parisienne about
her appearance. And it seems
that she, like Miss Leitch, dresses
in her boudoir and has no readjust-
ments to make while addressing the
net. She plays hard to win, and at
each point in her favor she hides
her pleasure by blowing in her left

Grade Crossing Gates
Accidents Might Be Avoided by
Adopting the English System
10 the Editor Of Tha Trihune.

To the Editor OF The Tribune.
Sir; The fatal collision which oc-
Cured last Wednesday at the grade
crossing in Perth Amboy, and other
similar accidents, might, I think, be
avoided if the railroad companies in
this country were compelled to adopt
the style of gates which are in general
use st grade crossings in England
There, instead of the gates being ele-
waited and lowered they swing across
the railroad track, except when opened
to allow trains to pass, and effectively
set a signal to the engine drivers.
whereas under our system the engine
driver has no means Of telling whether
the attendant has lowered the gates or
not
think the majority Of US pay heed
to the old warning of "Stop, look and
listen" when approaching a grade cross
ing, not being willing to place implicit
confidence in the infallibility Of the
gatemen; but fremen hurrying to 8
call, or others who are not naturally
cautious, cannot be expected to observe
the same precautions and should be
protected to more nearly perfect de-
gree than they are at present. | can
see no reason why the English style Of
gate, which when it is opened to allow
trains to pass swings squarely across
the street and which at other times sets
directly across the railroad tracks as
warning TO the engine drivers. has not
been adopted before this. CIT.
