American Girls.
They DO Not Fall Behind the Best
Any Other Country Can Produce.

To THE New YORK HERALD: At the
commencement exercises held on the
campus OF the Fordham University on
June 16. 1921, 119 young lawyers re-
ceived their diplomas. The first prize,
that for general scholarship, was pre-
sented to Miss Ella l.. Ralston Of 5Ia
Manhattan avenue. New York city, who
thus has the distinction of being the
winner Of the first prize, $50 in gold,
and slso of being one OF the first women
who ever was graduated from rordham
University law school.
Miss Raiston had previously earned
the degree Of bachelor OF arts at Hunter
College and the master Of arts degree
at the New York University. She IL the
sister of DIR. Florence V. Ralston, a
well known Harlem physician.
The foregoing shows that American
girls do not lag behind their English or
French sisters in arts, sciences and
letters. l.. r. r.

So, perhaps, this is not so exclu-
sively "the young mans country" as
has been proclaimed. The record
rather indicates that the oldsters as
we'll as the youngsters cut pretty
wide swaths here. And according to
Lord LEvERHuLME il is because the
oldsters have kept going and re-
Trained from crawling off and quit
ting that they are living long and
prospering. They do not shorten
their lives by dawdling. They
lengthen them by working. They do
not crawl along the homestretch of
the life race. They swing along it
with firm. brave stride, keeping
their interest in men and events
alert and keen TO the last. II is not
they, it is the dawdlers and the
crawlers who shrivel up and die be-
fore their time, before half that is

HARVARD GRADUATES
MANY NEW YORK MEN
Lamont, Chambers, Bacon and
HaUemeyer Among Them.

Among the young men who COM
pleted their university course at Har-
ward Thursday several are sons Of well
known men OF New York. all OF whom,
like their sons, claim Harvard for their
alma mater. Mr.. Thomas s. Lamont,
who received the degree of Bachelor of
Arts. is the Oldest son Of Mr.. and Mrs.
Thomas w. Lamont. His father, who
is member OF the firm of ]. P, Nor
gan & Co., was graduated from Har-
ward in 1892.
His New York classmates included
Messrs. Francis Men. Bacon Sd, Am
brose e. Chambers, Isidor Straus I'd
and Henry S. Willard. Mr.. Chambers
Is son Of DR.. and sYrs. Fiewellen
Chambers aHl a member OF a family
that furnished to New York a Mayor.
His father is a member OF the class of
1878. Mr.. Bacon, in whom q we'll known
New York name is continued, Is a son
of Mr.. and Mrs. Francis Men. Bacon.
Jr. His father was graduated in 1884.
Mr.. Willard is a son Of Mr.. and Mrs.
Harold G. Willard and grandson OF
Mrs. Henry Willard, whose father was
William Lloyd Garrison, the Abolition
list. Mr.. Willard also is nephew Of
Mr.. Vincent serrano, the actor. Mr..
Harold Willard was graduated from
Harvard in 1890. Mr.. Straus is son OF
Mr.. and Mrs. Jesse Isidor Straus and
grandson Of the late MIR. and Mrs.
Isidor Straus. His father was gradu-
ated from Harvard in 1893.

will be opened. The battleship will
be bigger target but more dan
gerous adversary. A squadron of six
planes might attack submarine
with the assurance that not all of
them would be crippled before the
enemy was sunk. But it might take
twenty or thirty planes to make sure
of a big ship, even assuming that
one great bomb would finish her.
The contest to which General
MIToHELI's challenge led is appar-
emily just beginning. II the theory
is successful, putting it into prac-
tice is going to be fine task for the
active minds of both the army and
the navy.
One very serious thing was evident
at the tests. Much is to be done in
the way of preliminaries. Some men
were killed by the mishandling of n
bomb. Others were lost through tho
collision Of planes. More care and
better maneuvring would have pre-.
vented these tragedies. 1t is un-
avoidable that lives be lost in the
preparation OF an adequate national
defence, but wherever men and
planes can be saved by precaution it
ought to be taken.
On the whole the tests are showing
good results. At least we are going
that might otherwise have to be
learned when belated education
would mean disaster. When we find
out just how strong are the vessels
of the sea and sky against each other
then we shall know how each must
be improved and which is to be our
greater reliance.

Renautiere postage stamp collection.
about a fourth of which was sold at auc-
tion yesterday by tho French Govern
ment for 100000 francs, will 80 to
America. the bidders thus far including
a large number OF agents for amateur
collectors In the United states. English
men, Italians and Germans also are un-
dcrstood to be anxious 10 obtain some
of the rarest issues. but with the ex-
change rate favoring America buyers
from tho United States are almost cei~
tain to have their way.
The collection, which was confiscated
by the French Government In 1915, -
estimated to be worth more than 5.000,-
900 francs and from oil indications the
results OF the auction will exceed this
figure.
The biggest deals yesterday involved
the payment OF 10000 francs for o single
English guinea two cent stamp dated
1880 and 10000 francs for n Hawaiian
two cent stamp dated 1851. which
hitherto have been valued at only 10000
francs a Mauritian twopsnce stamp OF
1s4s in dark indigo brought 5000 francs.
The receipts of the sales will be applied
toward reparations due from Austria.
The collection originally belonged to .
man known alternately as De Ia Renau-
there, La Rsnstiere and as Philippe Fer
rari. who by right Of inheritancs was
the Duke o; Galiera. He was IN Ital-
ian by birth, but transferred his alis-
glance to Austria. When the war be-
gan his stamp collection was In Paris,
but he himself was in Serbia, whence
he fled 70 Switzerland. and died at
Lausanne In 1917 In his will ne be-
queathed his entire collection, which In
cluded the famous collection OF the
Baron Ferdinand Rothschiid, TO the lns-
periai Postal Museum At Berlin. But
the French Government decided that the
collection was hostile alien property ana
tho auction was ordered by the state
custodian Of aibsn property.

such enterprises Improbable. modest

such enterprises Improbable. modest
as they are meant to be.
1t is the question of transportation
which has suggested the return to
methods of the early American the
atre, which saw stock company in
every city of any importance. These
permanent organizations used to be
visited by the stars. who played their
noted roles with the local supp ,rting
company. Advance representatives
Of the stars prepared the players for
the performances so thoroughly that
only one rehearsal with the visiting
actor was necessary. When this plan
prevailed over the country actors
often remained for years in one city.
1t was the regular way of conducting
the theatre until it was displaced by
the Combination" system. which con-
tinued until the present day.
Now managers look toward this
old plan as offering a possible means
of continuing in business and yet
meeting the problem of the impos-
sibly high railroad rates. There arc
artistic as we'll as commercial adj
vantages in the old method. Nc such
training schools for actors as the
old stock companies ever existed.
The actor in one of them played
many parts in the course of season.
Whether these performances will
satisfy public accustomed to what
has been brought from New York for
its benefit is not certain. Probably
the railroad rates will prevent any
attempt at spectacular production and
the out Of town public will be COM
PEELED to satisfy itself with the play
and the acting, which ought after all
to be enough. Idealists have often
deplored the disappearance Of the
stock company as training school
for the actor. Now commercial neces-
sites seem likely to restore 1t again.
If the revival of the old system Is
attempted, it will have one interest
ing consequence. Modern playgoers
will have a chance to compare the
merits of the stage with which they
are familiar with those of the much
lauded theatre of yesteryear.

Japan's Foreign Policy.

Possibly no other great nation in
the world could match the clear-cut
economic limitations which circum-
scribe the foreign policy of Japan.
These limitations, or they might bet
ter be called extenuations, arise from
the fact that Japan Is not in any
sense a self-contained economic unit.
Her foreign policy must be for Japan
policy on ways and means of domes-
tic existence.
The facts of this situation must be
taken into consideration in the dis
cussion of our relations with Japan,
discussion sure to be stimulated by
the presence here Of parliamentary
delegation from Japan returning the
visit made by American Congress
men to Japan recently.
To obtain the greater part Of the
| fuel and raw materials for industries
which support the 60,000,00O of popu-
lation in Japan proper, and to. sup
plement the domestic food production
to sustain the 100000 surplus pop
ulation, Japan has for the most part
only brains, ingenuity and service to
give in exchange.
With this in mind. an excerpt from
a statement on Japan's foreign pol
icy which appears on the introduc-
tory page of an elaborate Japan
number of the Manchester Guardian
takes on large interest. The state
ment was written by Viscount
UoHIpA, Foreign Minister of Japan,
who is we'll known in this country.
It is in part as follows.
what Japan desires is the devel-
.opment and utilization, for the bene-
fit Of ALL of the resources of her
continental neighbors for that is the
only hope of her teeming and fast
multiplying millions. Japan's inter-
est in this regard is first and last
economic. If there has been or will
be one controlling motive in Japans
policy in the Far East il is her
legitimate desire to make secure her
economic life. For the attainment of
this aim peace in the Far East is to
Japan a condition sine qua non.
Happily the external menace to
the tranquility of Asia has now
been removed No responsible states
man will ever again talk OF splitting
up China. And the present mood of
the world seems to point toward in
ternational cooperation rather than
scrambling competition in China as
elsewhere. This tendency Is marked
In a concrete way by the formation
of the Consortium. New vistas have
thereby been opened up of peace and
prosperity for China and of harmoni-
Gus cooperation and friendly concert
for the nations concerned. 1t only
remains for China TO awaken to the
significance OF the new era thus
ushered in to emerge from factional
feuds united nation, strong and
rejuvenated."
This is the expression of states
man, not the irresponsible talk of
alarmists and jingoes who do not
even now realize that war is no
longer even practical expedient
for economic plunder, let alone a
means of promoting sound economic
development.
Baron UcHrDA's statement OF ia
pans foreign policy squares in words,
and let US trust meaning, with the
enlightened views of ali. the great
Powers interested in the Far East
directly, and even with the views Of
nations whose economic welfare is
not bound UP like Japans with the
Asiatic continent.

500, ,OOODrug Shipment
Barred in Smuggling Plot
Narcotic Said to Have Been
Thrown From Liner Out
side of Quarantine

= Unusual methods of an alleged drug
smuggling ring were reported yester-
day to have been detected by narcotic
agents under Director Frank Oyler Of
the government narcotic division. The
new developments involve shipment
of 100000 worth of heroin, which. il
is charged, had been thrown from a
liner outside Quarantine and picked
up by agents of the ring in this coun-
try, who met the liner in q launch.
The circumstances reported by Di-
rector Oyler yesterday developed from
an Investigation of an arrest several
days ago of two men charged with
possessing and vending drugs, and the
seizure of twenty 1-ounce cans Of
powdered and compressed heroin. The
seizure is worth $4,000, and is said by
Director Oyler to be a part of the
100000 shipment. The case is still
under investigation. and Oyler said
yesterday that he hoped to locate the
remainder Of the shipment.
II would not care to give you the
names of my informants," said Mr.
Oyler, "but we were informed that
these. twenty tins were part of ship
ment which is worth 100000, street
vending prices. There is no doubt that
agents of the ring in this country had
launch and that they met the liner
outside of Quarantine at night. The
bags were thrown overheard probably
on prearranged signal and picked up
by the launch. The shipment was
brought to this side on an Italian
liner, without the knowledge of the
ships owners or officers"
James Milo, twenty-sevcn, laborer
of 225 Bowery, charged last Sunday
with possessing narcotics, and who, it
was learned, had been selling his blood
for TRANSMISSION purposes, was SEN
fenced to serve four months in the
Workhouse by Justices Voorhees,, Her
man and O'Keefe in Special Sessions
yesterday.
