At Last

1--WE accept the invitation" wires
De Valera to Lloyd George. "Our
delegates will meet you in London on
the date mentioned"
This is the best news that has
come out of Ireland since the Easter
rebellion. 1t is alike welcome to the
great body of Irishmen, to the great
body of Britons and to the great
body Of Americans, as friends of
both sets of cousins across the seas.
The British Cabinet is committed
to granting to the dissatisfied of Ire
land the greatest measure of self
government consistent with contin-
ued association with the British fed
Grafton. The Sim Fein leaders now
abate their demand for independ-
ence. The long struggle seems al
most over, for it is to be taken for
granted that both sets of delegates
will in good faith seek to arrive at
an agreement.
The Ulster question is seemingly
the only one left open--the question
of whether it is fair to coerce six
counties Of northern Ireland into
subjection to a Dublin government.
AS to this General Snuts gave sound
advice-that the new Irish govern
ment may well trust to time to bring
an all-Ireland union. Certainly to
fan hatred between the Orange and
the Green, as some recently have
done, is not calculated to contribute
to good result.

educational institutions. While men
retained the exclusive right to
higher education women put them
on a pedestal. When women also
climbed up to the pedestal they
found men not to be so much su-
perior after all. But they have not
fully adjusted themselves to the
similarity. They still expect the
men they marry to have some at
tainments superior to their own.
That is where the argument
against the four years segregation
fer the college girl carries weight.
Those are the impressionable years
of her life, when she demands less
Of her masculine admirers than she
does later. 1t may be that coed
ucation will induce women to accept
nHcn as they are, rather than to ex-
pect too much of them. Otherwise
it will take woman a long time to so
lift up backward man as to make
him worthy Of connubial partner
ship.

The First Sten

The German Reichstag has ratified
the treaty with the United States,
following the Reichsrat's example.
German adhesion is now complete.
The Berlin critics had good deal
to say about the contingent and in
definite obligations which the Reich
assumed. The same argument
against ratification is made here,
but it is one which defeats itself.
Both countries are confronted
with a state Of facts. Germany
agreed at Paris to make certain in
demnifcations to the United States.
The reparatlons and economic Sec
tions of the Versailles Treaty were
not objected to by the Senate or the
American public. They are still
satisfactory from our point of view
The Versailles Treaty having failed,
it is necessary for US to keep Ger
many's obligations alive in some
other way.
The Treaty Of Berlin keeps them
alive through assent given by both
countries to the parts Of the Yer
sailles compact which we desire to
retain. We could have inserted
these bodily in the separate treaty.
But our ability to collect is limited
by Germany's capacity to meet prior
Obligations contracted toward the
other Allied powers. 1t is simpler
for US to use the reparation ma
chlnery already created to make
good our claims than to set up new
and separate machinery of our own.
The contingent character of the
treaty - that is, it's interrelation
with another treaty-is not a fault.
10 deny that interrelation would be
fault. The treaty is a first step
toward peace settlement, too long
delayed. Looked on in that light. it
commends itself to con. non sense
everywhere. Most OF the opponents
Of the treaty say that it doesn't go
far enough in the way of repairing
our broken relations with Europe.
But if we don't take the first step in
that direction we cannot take other
steps.

Henry Ronaine

When we open our copy Of The
Tribune tomorrow morning it will
not be to laugh with Briggs nor to
frown over the latest meanness Of
Hylanism nor to see if the printers
have made us say "last" for "pas6"
and things like that. Those special
ties Of ours will have to wait. What
we shall search for first of all and
what We shall hope to find is news
dispatch from Indianapolis which, if
there is anything in faith, will read:
"INDIANAPOLIS, Oct 2.-Henrv
Romine, the lfer, whom Governor
Warren 7. McCray paroled five days
ago in order that he might attend
Grand Army encampment, to day re-
ported to the warden Of the Michigan
City penitentiary and resumed his
place as an inmate Of that institu-
ton Romine gave the Governor his
word that he would return to the
prison at the end Of the encamp-
mcnt."
We know nothing Of Henry Romine
beyond the bare fact that he is
Civil War veteran in his seventy
sixth year, who, in March, 1918, was
convicted of murder at Columbus,
Ind, and sentenced to life imprison-
ment. But though life undoubtedly
has hurt him, even to making him a
prisoner, yet has he saved out of the
wreck he has wrought so much of his
original character as to make his
word of honor acceptable to the chief
magistrate of a great state.
There is satisfaction in the thought
that Governor McCray's heart is big
enough to have been touched by the
old soldiers appeal for permission to
go to the encampment and fore
gather with his ancient comrades of
the Grand Army. There are not
many of them left, and at seventy
six Henry Romine cannot look for
ward to many more such meetings.
Ever since we saw in last Tues
days Tribune report of the parole
we have been thinking OF Romine
and trusting that nothing would oc-
cur to prevent him on the exact point
of the hour his freedom comes to an
end from redeeming his soldiers
word. Somehow we cannot help feel
ing that Governor McCray's faith is
going to be justified. Somehow we
cannot help feeling that, no matter
what may happen, Henry Romine
will not betray him.

Bombay and Japan

There is so much that smacks Of
other days in what is now being re-
vealed by the Meyer Investigating
committee concerning police fnan-
ciering.
AS we read the testimony of In
spector Dwyer in explanation of the
intricacies Of his real estate opera
tions it is 1894, and not 1921. The
Lcxow, not the Meyer, committee is
in session. Recorder Goff, later
Supreme Court justice, not Elon
r. Brown, is counsel; and Aleck
("Clubber") Williams, inspector of
police, possessor of a country home
at Cos Cob and owner of a yacht
and fast horses, is on the witness
stand, being piled by Goff.
Inspector Williams, where did
you get all this wealth? How did
you amass it," Golf is asking.
"I'll tell you, Mr.. Goff. Speculat-
ing in real estate in Japan"
Golf nor Lexow could disprove that
statement. They could not carry
their investigation to Japan.
Twenty seven years afterward
another police inspector, Dwyer,
pressed about how he came into pos
session Of an apartment house in
115th Street, answers that the prop
erty in question belongs to his son,
James.
Says the testimony:
"Where is your SOM" asked Mr..
Brown.
'He left here on the steamer Steel
maker for Bombay, India" answered
Inspector Dwyer.
Bombay and Japan. Japan and
Bombay. Doesn't Kipling say some
where that when "a man ears the
East a-callin' he can't ear nothin'
else?

Of the original construction Nearly
all of the skin is hidden by the heavy
ceiling, but in one place where this had
been cut away the frame was of n hard
oak and the planking was apparently OF
teak, which corroborates the report OF
the first rebuilding at Pitchers Yard
Northheet
1t is most unfortunate that no veri-
fed model or lines of this noted vessel
exist to-day. While originally built
from a block model, cut in the base
ment of the old house at 81 Cannon
Street, New York, by George Steers, it
is unlikely that finished plans were
made as would be the case to-day; the
designer builder working out all de-
tails as the work progressed It is said
that the custom Of George Steers was
to "kick" the battens on the floor: that
is, as he laid down the full-size lines in
the mold loft by means of long thin
strips Of wood held in place by avis
or nails, he would move these battens
in or out, thus altering at the start
from the original block model.
Later, when the vessel was in
frame, he would go into the yard on
Sunday, look over the frames and rib
bands at his leisure, and dub" or
"shim"; cutting away with an adze
where the form was too full to suit
him, or putting pieces Of wood, "shims,"
on the outer surface Of the frames
where the form showed slack. The re-
suit of this process was that the com
pleted vessel might differ widely from
the original model.
How many sets Of the true lines of
the America are in existence to-day
it is impossible to say; I have some
seven, all vouched for on one or another
authority, all different in exact detail,
but most of them showing a common
origin of truth and substantiatng one
another.
While the history of the yacht from
her inception to this fnal cruise from
Boston to Annapolis is pretty clearly
known, there are two points which are
still obscure. 1t is hot known just how
she came into the possession OF the
Confederate States of America in 1861
nor when or where ne~ tiller. which
she had at the outset in common with
the pilot boats of her day, was replaced
by wheel This was probably done
about the time of the first race in de-
fense of the cup, in 1870, and there
is vague report that the actual work
was performed in shpyard in Brook
lyn. W. p. STEPHENS.

The Wetness of Cleveland

To The Editor of The Tribune
Sir: l was immensely amused at
reading yesterday that in your survey
of the effects Of the Eighteenth Amend
ment in the United States you find
Cleveland the only city where the
amendment is being observed and
where prohibition is enforced
Evidently Chief OF Police Smith and
the Federal prohibition officers didn't
tell you of the Lakewood police who
were recently arrested for taking all
the liquor off a large yacht and selling
it directly to the residents Of Cleve-
land and Lakewood, and they dions
tell you about other consignments oe
liquor being handled in a similar way
The fact is, however. Cleveland has
improved on the prohibition amendment
and doesn't need TO buy It's liquor from
outside sources. We have such large
number of home supply shops where
you can buy crooks, hops malt extract
and everything except the yeast which
can be bought from the neiehborins
grocery store, that Clevelandes@ prefer
to n,ake it themselves Cleveland prob-
ably makes more brew and more wine
per head than any other city in the
country. A CLt.NFl.A\Dtk.

Expecting Too Much

The tendency Of college women not
to marry came in for goodly share
Of criticism at the Eugenics Con-
Rress this week. Partial isolation
during four years Of young woman
hood, the nature Of the studies pur-
sued and the close association with
unmarried women to the exclusion of
men are held to be factors in subor-
dinating marriage TO the ideal of
personal culture
Another cause for feminine cell
bacy remarked is that women set
the qualifications Of possible mates
so high that they cut in two their
chances Of marriage. The higher
the development Of woman, mentally
and cuturaIly the higher the tvpe
Of man she demands. That will fol
low whether she is educated in seq
rcgatcd schools and colleges or CO.

Jewish Race Integrity
To the Editor of The Tribune.

To the Editor of The Tribune.
Sir: The statement made by Dr.
Maurice Fishbcrg before the Interna-
tional Conference of Eugenics, that
the Jews are vanishing as a race, is
untrue. Time will not eventually
conquer the Jew. Millions of orthodox
Jews in many European countries will
not even change their customs, the in
heritance of thousands of years. Thev
remain true to the faith of their fore
fathers. One need only 60 back to the
days of the Spanish Inquisition, when
thousands Of Jews were slaughtered
for their refusal to be converted. And
still the race survives.
Undoubtedly there have been wan
derers from the ranks of Judah. but not
sufhclent to warrant any fear for the
Jewish race. The charge that more
than 70 per cent of the Jews in Ger
many have been absorbed is exagger-
ated, although the greatest number of
those who have been assimilated must
be admitted to be German Jews.
AS to the assertion that the Spanish
and Portuguese Jews have almost dis
appeared, we would advise Dr. Fish
berg to attend the service of the Span
ish and Portuguese Synagogue on
Central Park West, where the de-
scendants of the early Jewish settlers
still worship under the guidance of
the Rev. de Sola Pool. And many more
of these descendants are scattered
throughout the country.
But the brightest hope of all, the
greatest assurance of the Jews de-
termination to live on as Jews, is the
pledge of the British government to
the Zionists of homeland for the
Jewish people in Palestine.

the same time stabilize realty values,
make moving day less of 4 horror,
and develop districts where neigh
bors know one another and have
wholesome local contacts and con-
sciousness. 1t will mean, in the ag-
gregate, cheaper transportation, for
traffic will be less shifting and vari-
able. AS things now are, counting
transfer charges and interest on city
bonds, the fare averages about seven
cents, but it may become five again.
AS to the future, the report re-
lieves anxieties that have naturally
become acute as months have drifted
into years, with nothing done to re-
lieve the crowding, which is already
a daily trial and is soon to become
terrific. When the transportation
system is self-sustaining new bases
of credit will permit new construc-
ton, with enough over for schools
and modern docks.
In many items the plan is tenta-
tive, but there is at last a definite
Start in the right direction. The
publlc has something before it to
study, whereas for four years it has
seen a constant march toward
traction abyss. The period of mega
ton is over and something affirma-
tive is offered. Is there longer doubt
as to who are the friends of the
masses of New York and who are
their enemies?

His Honor COMPLAINS

Mayor Hylan, who is favoring the

the following to The Tribune:
In your to-day's issue you state on
page 13, without qualification of any
kind, nature or description, the fol-
lowing:
"Thc Hylan administration has not
built single school during its three
and q half years Of Office"
This is but one Of innumcrable
vicious false statements published by
you. It's publication Ia without a
shred OF justification. 1t is to your
knowledge wifully untrue. Your
paper On September published that
twelve new schools and additions
were opening on September II, and
on September - you again published
an article about new school openings.
This establishes your knowledge Of
the falsIty Of your publication this
morning. Why do you fee the truth
and persist wilfully in falschood?

which he quotes related to high
schools, and when it said not new
school had been built the reader is

Brave Policemen
Disheartcned by Release Of Alleged
Criminals on Low Bail
To the Editor Of The Tribune.

To the Editor Of The Tribune
Sir: I ask for the privilege OF iit-
tie space to express my feelings in
connection with this latest foul murder
of member of the New York police
force that has aroused every one Of us
in New York. | refer TO the murder Of
Patrolman Joseph A. Reuschie, of tina
42d Precinct
Here was a man with n splendid rec-
ord in the force, who had only recently
distinguished himself through the cap~
ture, single handed, OF five gunner,
and his life was snuffed out in an in
stant by single shot from the gun Of
some unknown assailant
He leaves behind wife and three
children to whom the City Of New
York certainly owes biz debt. It Is
earnestly hoped that those in authority
will see that his dependents are prop
erly cared for. 1t Is the least that can
be done
Why cannot the magistrates fix much
higher bail for men who arc arrested
on criminal charges? Day after day. we
read Of crimes committed by men on
bail awaiting trial for other oifenses.
This can be remedied if the magistrates
will only fix high enough bail.
l have talked with members % ths
police force of all ranks ard they all
tell the same story-that it is disheart>
ening to arrest alleged criminals. often
at extreme personal danger, and then
upon srraigning them in court TO have

bail.

South America Receptive
But United States Exporters Lack
Banking Accommodations

To the Editor of The Tribune.
Sir: May I through your columns
address communication to the bank
ing fraternity of the country, particu-
larly the bankers of New York City :?
We are all much distressed over the
number OF closed factories and unem-
ployed men and women. 1t is the
natural result of falling off in de-
mand for goods for home consumption
as well as for export. During the war
we were working at top speed and
everybody was busy. To return to the
condition of normal operation We must
find an outlet for our merchandise.
There is such an outlet. South Amer
lea wants to buy American goods, GER
tain countries of central Europe want
to buy American goods. But they will
buy only on their own terms of pay
ment, viz: 90 to 120 days after receipt
of the goods-terms that they are re-
ceiving from England and Germany
to-day.
Our small industries and many of the
large ones cannot give these terms. A
draft due ninety days from the time
it is presented in almost any port of
South America means that the exporter
must wait at least five months for his
money. The banks of America must
discount these long term drafts, as do
the English and German banks. If the
banks of the United States would let
it be known in the public press that
they had money available for this pur-
pose large amount of export business
could be secured at once and factories
started up all over the country.
The banks claim they have money
tied up in the South American ports.
Let the government send competent
representatives to these ports to liqui-
date their claims, possibly extending
overdue drafts in order to give the
South American time to sell his goods.
The high price of the American dollar
has made it very hard for Latin Amer
ica to do business. If the American
banking institutions really have no
money for this purpose let the gov
ernment release some of the funds
held by the War Finance Corporation
for this purpose. If we are to export
we must be ready to give as favorable
terms as our competitors.
