Herrick Returns to France.

1t is not too much to say Of MYRoN
T. HERRIcK, who was Ambassador to
France under TAFT and Is to be Am
bassador to France under HANDING,
that no American diplomatic repre-
sentative In France since BENJAMIN
FRANKLIN has been more popular
with the French Government and the
French people than MYRoN HERRIcK.
If there had been no war his position
in respect of popularity would have
been secure. His own inherent good
fellowship insured this. But his fine
bearing in the early days of the war,
his steadfastness and courage when
it seemed inevitable that Paris would
fall and the French Government itself
abandoned Paris and removed to Bor-
deaux, won for him the applause and
admiration of both the French Gov
ernment and the French people.
Not alone did he endear himself to
France at this time, but TO very many
thousands of stranded Americans In
Europe whom he so splendldly and so
untiringly served In their sore plight.
Indeed, MYRoN HERgIcK met every
situation, every call upon him In this
period Of stress in so masterful ay
as to reflect great credit ON his Cow
ernment and to bring the warmest
praise to him from all America.
THE New YORK HERALD finds pleas
ure In congratulating Mr.. HERRIcK
on his reappointment to be Ambas-
sador to France and wishes for him
every success and much happiness.

Time Without a Name.
A Difficulty to Be Met When Daylight
Saving Begins.

! To THE NEW YoRK HERALD: On the
last Sunday OF this month the city OF
New York and many other places will
adopt a different time by local ordinance
from what is prescribed by the Federal
Government for interstate and interna-
tional activities and its employees. Both
kinds of time will therefore have to be
kept and many win 1nd their affairs
ordered IN part by each.
This new time unfortunately has been
prescribed without establishing for 1t a
distinctive name. Last year. to make
matters clear, one set of clocks bore
labels reading New York Standard
Time" TO call attention to the fact that
the hands had been turned ahead. The
United States courts in their notices
used the term Standard TO designate
the old time.
When the United States law was orig
inaily passed fve kinds of time were
defined and names given. For this section
the name was United States standard
Eastern time, and the law provided that
the Same name should be continued when
the clocks were put ahead fos daylight
saving This was an excellent bit of
camoufiage. Not a railroad employee In
the land was so stupid that he got 1t
wrong. but astronomers generally ap-
peared not keen enough to see through
1t. The June. 1918, issues of the two
leading astronomical publications dis
agreed by two hours as to the phases
of the moon, although astronomers claim
to be able to make predictions to within
few seconds even by pre-Einstein
mathematics.
The daylight saving law having been
repealed. United States standard East
ern time now consistently means the
mean solar time of the seventy-fifth
meridian west from Greenwich
Places In Illinois and Indiana that
may wish to adopt daylight saving can
say that they change from Central to
Eastern time. but Eastern time Is the
earliest with legal definition, and here
one is left to adopt a name Of ones own
choosing. Each city may give Its own
name to the time and refer one to its
city ordinance for what Is meant.
Daylight saving time is cumbersome
name, but not to be misunderstood. Can
ada extends further east than the'United
States and has Atlantic time, which
would be a good name from a scientific
viewpoint. In England the term sum-
mer time is used. SAMUEL w. BALcH.

Miss Sparkes, Soprano, PIeases.

Miss Lenora Sparkes. soprano of the
Metropolitan Opera House. but one who
has seldom appeared there this season,
gave a song recital last night In Aeolian
Hall. Miss Sparkes was heard in re-
cital here last season. and last evening
she repeated the pleasant impression she
created before. Her programme included
old airs, operate excerpts and modern
songs. In her opening selection her
voice was not always smooth, but her
tonal quality later disclosed the lowell
ness of her scale, and her fine phrasing
and diction added to the pleasure de-
rived from her delivery.

Enrights Prohibition Job.

1t is squarely up TO Commissioner
ENRIGHT now to enforce prohibition in
this city, as the State has charged
itself and its law enforcement ma
chinery with such enforcement. There
was nothing else for the State TO do
in good faith and in common sense.
IT was the States in truth, which
made prohibition the law of the land
The United States Congress did not
do that work and the President of the
United States had nothing at all TO do
with it. Congress gave the amend
ment to the States TO vote on, but
when it was for them of their own
will and in their own discretion to
adopt it or reject it, they adopted it.
Having made themselves responsible
for prohibition the States could not
honestly fail to provide for its en-
forcement.
ga Furthermore. without State cooper
. alton there was no chance that prohi-
bition ever could be widely and strictly
enforced. THE New YORK HERALD
said on January IA, In discussing
Governor MrLLER's call for State
law similar to the national law, that
I It would bankrupt the Government 50
to police our vast sea boundaries and
land boundaries as to shut out abso-
lutely the rum traffic. But the States,
cooperating with the national Govern
oh hnf
police, can enforce the law il they
want to enforce ii.
Commissioner ENRIGHT does not
question his responsibility for en-
forcement of the State law in this
city He does say, however, that to
do the work he needs more policemen
and more money for salaries of the
new policemen, and for other ex-
.penses In enforcing prohibition. But
Governor MILLER hit the nail on the
head when he said of this verv mat
ter that undoubtedly the police knew,
when ii was not their. particular busi-
ness 10 suppress the Illicit liquor
traffic. just how it was being carried
on and who were In 1t. Now that ii
is the particular business and the
imperative duty of the police to sup
press the traffic they can suppress
il, whether with 1900 members of
the force or with 1000.
III the Police Commissioner con-
vinces the men he has now that he Is
iu deadly earnest; If every inspector,
captain, lieutenant, sergeant and pa
tnolman is made to feel that the pro-
hibition law is not a joke and that
the Governor means what he says
about 1t, then the law will be en-
forced. But If that spirit does not
rermeate the whole department It will
make no difference whether there are
1000 policemen or 111,000.
Once the breakers of the law see
that the police are in earnest the vio-
lations will stop. When It is known
that each of the 1900 patrolmen now
in the department Is really looking
for lawbreakers the bootleggers and
their clients. the speakeasy men, will
20 out Of business.
1t Is the morale Of the police force,
not It's numbers, that will bring en-
forcement of, the law. If the morale
Is not there 1t Is the fault Of Mr.
ESRrGHT. for It was there when
Arthur Woops left the Commission.
ership. We think there Is morale
enough left to do this job as the law
wants 1t done. Most policemen are
honest. Not even all the politics the
Hylan administration has played IN
the last three years can have ruined
them as policemen.

Easton Sings Isolde at the Opera
Her Lovely Impersonation of the Role Enjoyed Again
at the politan-Society Present.

'Tristan und Isolde" was repeated at
the Metropolitan opera House last eve
ming. Nine. Matzenauer being engaged
In singing German songs In English to
the excellent audiences OF the Los
Angeles philharmonic Orchestra. Mime.
Florence Easton sang Isolde to one OF
the thinnest aud fences OF the season.
1t was not this admired sopranos first
appearance as the Irish princess, as
she has sung IL In Brooklyn and also
once in Manhattan. But such u lovely
impersonation should not be permitted
to pass unnotced even at It's third
disclosure.
Nine. Eastons voice is not OF the
type traditionally associated with the
role, but she succeeds In making II meet
all the demands or the music. 1t has TO
be forced sometimes and there We're
moments OF hoarseness in the tones last
night, but the sopranos Interpretation
was so intelligent that only praise can
be award ed to It. Her Isolde is neither
termagant, nor a half civilized erotic,
but a perfectly human woman, aston
ished by the sudden bursting OF her
own bonds OF restraint and swept away
upon a flood of normal feeling.
The other members of the cast were
those OF earlier performances Miss
Jean Gordon repeated her creditable
BrGngaene. 1t is pity that she has
not a larger fund of vocal skill to fall
back on and a better command Of
enunciation, but the latter Is not possible
with her method or tone production. Mr..
Sembach was the Tristan and Mr..
Whitehill the KanepGi The latter
singer was hoarse. William Gustafson
recited the wearisome woes of King
Mark. Mr.. Bodanzky conducted. The
orchestra was sometimes too loud. But
almost everything is done at the Metro
politan on a tonal scale altogether too

umes of sound do not travel in COM

Thousands who have piles have moi
learned that quick and permanent le-
lief can only be accomplished with in

any amount of treatment with oint-
ments will remove the cause.
Bad circulation causes piles. There
is q complete stagnation of the blood
in the lower bowel and a weakening of
the parts. Dr. ]. S. Leonnardt was the
first to find the remedy. His pre-
scription, HEM-ROID, is now sold b.

an understanding between Great Brit
ain, the United States and Japan to
stand together permanently on all
questions affecting China. A three ma
ton agreement would make the Anglo
Japanese alliance void automatically,
in a way agreeable to both Great Brit.
to the British idea, the question of
armament should be settled.
Two Differing Methods
1t is these two differing methods OF
approach that lie at the heart of the
conference today. The differences are
not material. And yet America will
probably take the position that what
ever else is done, or can be done, by
the conference, the reduction of arma-
ments must take place anyhow. Amer
lea will be slow to consent to any pro-
gram which makes the arrival at an
agreement about ornaments wholly
contingent on the previous arrival on
an agreement about the far east.
The difference in point of view is
not enough to endanger the success of
the conference, and there is no reason
to doubt that some formula for the or
der of the various questions will be
reached amicably.
Mr.. Hughes method of approach, by
boldly taking the line of first giving
the public concrete proposal covering
armament, practically makes impossi-
bic any procedure which would render
ultimate agreement on this point con-
tlngent on agreement on anything else.
The whole question has its greatest
Importance in relation to the United
states Senate. There can be no doubt
that an agreement on armament alone
would be ratified by the Senate with
much less debates and controversy
than an agreement which includes our
future participation in far eastern
questions. In fairness to Great Britain
let it be said that she sees this. and
from recent experience has much rea-
son to fear the capacity of the Senate
to muddle things up.

found under the heads of material and
labor.
Since its organization, an officer of
the company said, the company has
never paid as high as six percent on
its total securities, and often less than
four percent. Under depreciation the
company has never set aside more
than four percent, and in some years
nothing at all, this officer said He
also pointed out that the Nebraska
public service confession, after an in
vestigation, said depreciation of tele-
phone companies would run as high as
II percent. These figures were the
result of an extensive research by its
engineers and affected a number OF
companies. However, it was said by
an officer of the Richmond Home Tele.
phone company that a depreciation al
lOwance in the amount of six percent
would be adequate TO take care of its
depreciation account.

WALTER REED LAND
DEAL|SEXPLA|NED
Col. Parker, Criticised in
Hospital Site Transaction,
Took Big Business Risk.

How the patriotic offer of Col.
Myron NJ. Parker to assist the gov
ernment in acquiring additional land
for the enlargement of Walter Reed
Hospital during the war was misun-
derstood by several persons. and re-
suited in accusations of profiteering
without foundation, has just become
known.
1t is disclosed that instead of
profiteering, Col. Parker actually as
Sumed an unusual business risk in
acting as a third party in the realty
transfer.
In coming to the rescue of the Army
officials, whose authorization pre-
vented them from purchasing the
added ground on anything but gen
eral warranty deed, and who could not
secure the owners consent to such a
road-termed contract, Col. Parker
agreed to purchase the property from
the owner on straight deed and
then turn the land over to the gov
ernment on d general warranty deed
without profit to himself and assum-
ing all risks involved.
Deed Involved.
1t was Col. Parker who sold the
original major portion of the Walter
Reed site to the Army. The additional
tract desired by the surgeon general
adjoined the original land. and was
owned by the late Senator Don Cam
eron. The senator's son. James Cam
eron, was asked what price he would
take for the property. much of CT,
already had been built on out of wars
necessity. Mr.. Cameron named a price
based on surrounding land values. but
