Cleaning New York.

New York city is 4 magnet which
attracts every ambitious religious
leader in the country. The great
number Of the towns inhabitants, the
fanciful tales Of wickedness among
them which circulate through the
CONTRIBUTES without substantial
foundation-the splendid opportunity
for serious labor which is offered
here. unite 10 urge men who feel they
have a mission TO exercise their pow
ers here.

Flax Spinning Numbers.
A Clue to Their Origin in Chill
dren's Counting Out Rhyme.

To THE New YORK HERALD: i know
nothing about the words used in count
ing threads or reels of fax as they are
spun, but perhaps "A Student of His
tory" could get some light on the sub
ject in some of the books dealing with
the origin of childrens games. In
counting out to determine who shall be
"it" they use a doggerel or did around
1850, running:
Eeen, teen, tether. feather fis
Patent leather, pour, debber. dig.
Eeending. teendlg, tetherdig, featherdig.
bumpet.
Eeenbumpet. teenbumpet. tetherbumpet.
featherbrmper, jig.
This is very similar to the counting
mentioned by "A Student of History"
and the variations are only such as
might easily arise. patent leather" for
instance, being undoubtedly modern
version of some earlier form. L think
there is no doubt the origin of both
counting ditties is the same.

Paul kochansSi, Polish vioiinist,
made his debut yesterday afternoon IN
a concert given in Carnegie Hall with
the assistance of the Symphony Soci-
ETY.. Two numbers constituted the pro-
gramme, Tschaikowsky's Pathetic
symphony and the Brahms violin con-
eerto. The choice of the latter by Mr..
Kochanskl as the medium of his nitro
duction to this public disclosed pur-
pose to invite consideration Of him as
serious musician and not as another
addition to the already formidable list
of wizards of the bow.
It has been a season opulent in vio-
llnists. and almost every one of them
has proved to be well trained. Many OF
them have betrayed the fact that train
ing was the bulk OF their capital. The
hands we're the hands of pupils but the
voices were those of the teachers. Per-
haps the most interesting feature OF
Mr.. KochanslSi's performance of the
Brahms concerto was its independence
The reading was Individual. 1t was not
prepared lesson. The player showed
nj nseIf TO be genuine musician
equipped with taste, intelligence and
feeling.
Technically Mr. KochanslSi rates high.
albeit his mechanics are happily not OF
the kind that carry excitement with
them. His tone is very fine, and 1t was
heard with delight yesterday in the can
tilena passages. especially in the slow
which was delivered not only
with breadth but with exquisite finish
The artist displayed here richness Of
conception as well as the dignity and re-
pose which accompany the noblest art.
Naturally there were moments of m
certainty in the performance, for any
yiolnist may fall into trouble in certain
rapid flights but they were Of no great
significance. The fact stood out at the
end that the concerto had been played In
mastery style. The audience. whi en-
was OF good size, was most enthusiastic.

An Inquiry ..bout the Decoration Of

To THE New York HERALD: For the
last year or two / have noticed num-
ber Of high grade automobiles with the
arms of the city of New York showing
on the radiator. 1 have frequently no.
ticed these cars standing in the shop
ping district. and on several occasions
have met them far from the city filed
with women and children out for ride
in the country.
Besides myself there arc many others
who would be glad to know why the
motor cars above referred to are hon
ored by carrying the arms OF the city

enlightened on the subject.

emergency the Sunday school rooms
could be fitted up as dormitories. II
should be borne in mind that such
dormitories would be subject to in
spection by several city departments,
and could not be opened except with
the consent Of these departments.
1t is notorious that the marches of
the unemployed upon churches in the
hard times of 1894 were not the
result of spontaneous movements
among the sufferers. but were care
fully planned and carried out. Is the
city to be treated to limitations of
those marches this year?

British Parliament Opening.

King GEORGE opens the British Par
lament to-day and with it a kettle of
troubles for the Prime Minister.
LLOYD GEORGE shares With LENINE the
distinction of being one of the two
Government leaders of all the major
European Powers to combat SUCCESS
fully the reaction after the armistice
and retain his Office. His downfall
has been prophesied time and again,
and when no better reason for il
could be given the apparent banker
ing Of the whole world for making
changes for the mere sake of change
itself was accounted enough to doom
the extraordinary Welshman's admin
istration. But nothing of the kind
happened in England. although in
most other countries the prophets saw
their predictions fulfilled.
The credit for having kept the Goa
lition intact does not rest altogether
with LLOYD GEORGE. His ability to
defy aud also placate labor has been
nothing short of astounding His skill
at multiplying promises made by his
Government, but which IL fulfilled
would have wrecked it, has been Just
as remarkable. His dealings with
Ireland. his foreign policy, especially
with regard 10 France, Germany and
America, and his negotiations with
Russia have brought him many times
10 the edge Of political ruin. But al
ways and apparently without much
effort on his own part, the troubles
were smoothed out.
To fathon his success ii is neces-
sary to look further than the policies
Of LLOYD GEORGE himself. The tac-
ties Of the Opposition. consisting Of
the Labor party and Mr.. AsoUiTH's IS
Libernl following, must be taken into
consideration. it Is doubtful IL any
nation has ever been so much sur
priscd at the course followed by any
politician i'm position to assume
leadership as the British have been
surprised at Mr. AsoUITn since his
election nj Paisley.
In his campaign speeches Mr.. AS.
oUITH gave the impression that when
he once regained his seat at wes
Minister he world go after LLoYr
GEORGE in the most vigorous style
In fact he h,s made not single at
tack on the Government in which he
has met tho hopes OF he electorate OF
in which he has not been roundly
trounced.
Mr.. AsQuITu, of all the strong mer
ia Parliament is the one man who
would bc expected TO assume the
Prime Minister'S mantle If LLoYI
GEORGE were TO cast IL of. He knows
what that would mean. All the after
war problems which have caused
LLOYD GEoRGE endless worry woul(
fall upon his shoulders. The state
Of the world Is such that the power
ful British Prime Minister canno
have his way even in the smallcs
matters. Hc has always to consult
some foreign Power and to keep II
mind the temper at home. Perhaps
this Is why Mr.. AsQUITH refrains a
yet from seeking JLoYp GEORGE
scalp.
In the coming session, however, the
Prime Minister win have TO be NOR,

There Was a Shakespeare.
And Those Vino Knew Him Believed
He Wrote the PLAYS.

To THE NEW YoRK HERALD: Those
who knew Shakespeare. or knew of him.
during his life, saw him. did business
with him. acted with him. lived with
him. rubbed shoulders. so to speak, with
him from day to day never questioned
so far as we know. or doubted that he
could and did write the plays bearing
his name.
On the contrary. those of his contem-
poraries most competent to pass upon
him praised thanked and glorified him
for his plays and his verse. With no
evidence not known to his eontempo-
raries it would seem somewhat futile to
try to prove three hundred years after
his death that he did not write his
plays. G. Il. S.

Our War Accounts.
Thirty eight Billions Spent. Twenty
four Billions Owing.

To THE NEW YORK HERALD: 1t has
been said in the newspapers generally
that the debt of the United States is
approximately twenty-fopr billions OF
dollars. Does that include or exclude the
amount of loans to foreign Powers? And
assuming that those loans are paid back
with interest and applied to satisfy OBJ
legations incurred by the United States
Government would that not leave the net
debt approximately fourteen billions Ct
dollars instead of twenty -four billions?
l have seen it stated that the total
expenditures for the war were above
thirty-eight billions. which seems to me
10 be erroneous. What are the facts?
