THE NOTE TO GERMANY.

q BCRETARY HUGHBSS note to the German
- Government, transmitted through the Ameri-
can High Commissioner at Berlin, turns out to be
a brief and rather Spneless communication in which
the only positive, downright statement is the fol-
lowing:
This Government stands with the Gov
ernments of the Allies in holding Germany
responsible for the and therefore
d" ally bound to make reparation so far as may
be possible"
s. The rest is mere polite and optimistic asslrnp-
lion that Germany recognizes her position and is
prepared to do her utmost to satisfy the just claims
of the Allies and permit Germany hopefully to re-
new its productive activity"
Secretary Hughes gives no indication how far this
aGovermnent is to stand with the Governments of
= the Allies beyond holding Germany responsible for
the war
Yet in that beyond are all the really important
present questions of peace

contested COURTS.

IRON time to time The Evening World has
1 pointed out the need of improved machinery
in the administration of the Rent Laws
Congestion of court calendars with rent cases
results in delay of justice which is, in effect, a
denial of justice.
Municipal courts no longer function for the ex-
peditous settlement of the minor civil cases for
which they we're created. Almost the whole time
of the Justices engaged in The settlement of rent
cases.
The term of the Legislature is drawing to a close.
If relief is to be had il must come soon.
A feasible plan to relieve these courts is outlined
and endorsed by several of the Justices II would
provide for the appointment of referees 10 nveSti-
gate and make recommendations to the court for
the disposition of summary proceedings and actions
for rent
Here follows a brief statement of the present
condition of the calendar of the Fourth District
Municipal Court Brooklyn. The actual figures
reveal the shocking congestion
In January 1920, there were "a jury cases
on the calendar OF this court. In January,
1921, there 463 such cases. In Febru-
airy, 1920, there 40 jury cases, and in
the same month OF 1921 there 636 The
March calendar Of the present year bore up
ward OF 800 jury cases. Of which only
tried, the remainder going to the April
jury week, which has a calendar Of close to
1000 cases.
No effort by the Justices and Clerks of the
Municipal Courts can remedy such a condition,
" the Legislature fails to take action the cases
will continue to pile up The situation becomes in
creasingly difficult each month.

HOW LONG?

THE new Prohibition regulations prepared by the
i Internal Revenue Bureau and tentatively ap-
proved by the Treasury Department contain the
following:
Malt liquors containing one-half of per
cent or more of alcohol by volume classed
intoxicating liquors under the National Pro-
tanning one-haf Of l per cent. OF
alcohol by volume, regardless OF the quantity
of ex active matter therein derived from malt,
are held to be intoxicating liquors and
within the purview of the National Prohibition
Act and regulations issued pursuant thereto"
At hearing before the Judiciary Committees
of the New Jersey Senate and Assembly in Feb
ruary, 1920, lawyer William d. Guthrie wrung
from the Anti-Saloon Leagues general counsel
Wayne B. Wheeler, the following admissions:
CD That beverages containing one-half of
per cent. of alcohol not intoxicating
(2) That the definition OF intoxicating liquors
contained in the act of Congress and backed by
the Anti-Saloon League is false and, instead of
prohibiting beverages that are intoxicating, pro-
hibts those which are Notwithstanding.
The Internal Revenue Bureau is obliged to accept
the definition of intoxicating liquors it finds in the
VolSead act.

In the Washington COlored American we read:
I'VE kept in power the political plans OF
the Republican Party for twenty-five years"
There in single sentence is the secret of the
split in policy evident in Republican ranks.
Some Republicans hope to expand the organza-
ton into national party. They hope to break the
Solid South, and know that this will be possible
only by an appeal to 'Lily White" sentiment.
IOther Republicans of the Penrose school are
less interested in Matchmaking the party. They are

Men Who Made New York
No. 10--JoHN PETER ZENGER
1857 1746).
BY IRWIN Thomas
CnpyrAeht, 1881. by The Pr~s Publishing Co.
TIT NCT YORK ETcniuE Verdi.

No. 1o--JoHN PETER zENGER
1857 1746).
John Peter Zenger was acquitted
Of libel in New York in 1885 after his
trial had lasted almost the whole
summer There then was born the
freedom of the press Zenger was
sent to this country a poor boy by
Queen Anne. He learned his trade
as a printer from william Bradford
Bradford started a paper here that
was the organ OF the Administration.
He was the public printer. Zenger
was aided by the opposition and in
1893 put out the first number of his
New York Weekly Journal. He wrote
and his contributors wrote for him
about the freedom OF the press IL
was taken up through the Colonies
In New York was actually a news
paper, a publication. anyway, that
dared criticiSe the Administration.
It printed articles that lampooned the
dominant party. 70
1t got into trouble through WHAT'S
now considered a public service.
James Alexander, a Colonial aristQ-
crat, received a threatening letter.
1t was said the Hon. Francis HaI-
rison had written it. 1t would be
termed ''Black Hand" letter to-
day, as it demanded money. Zenger
printed the story. Alexander threat
ened to whip him, Then he was
arrested for his alleged libel and
kept in solitary confinement. They
let up on this and Zenger got out
his weekly from the Jail
| Zenger wasn't great, but he had
| the courage of his convictions. At
his trial the aged but great lawyer
Alexander Hamilton, not the Fed
! Philadelphia and beat down the
| ruling OF the Judge that the greater
! the truth the greater the libel He
admitted the publication and plead
ed the truth Of it.
| Chief Justice Delaney warned the
| jurors they were the judges OF the
| fact and not the law. They brought
| in a verdict of not guilty. Ham
! ilton was the hero of the hour. The
acquittal OF Zenger was considered
! the triumph of the age. The people
had grown ripe for revolt. Zenger
was lead ng, so much so that when
( his papers had been ordered burned
no ohicial would burn them and the
sheriff finally detailed a negro slave
for that purpose. OF Zengers trial
it has been said:
ut was well styled the germ OF
American freedom and the morning
star of that liberty that revolution
lied America"
Had Zenger not made his battle
for the freedom of the press, that
wonderful work of the pamphletee-s
that was done to arouse the people
years later for the Revolution never
would have had the basis for its ex
.Stence IN point Of Law.

Court for delay as the Labor Board.
Moreover, the completely of the questions which
the Labor Board must adjudcate is evident when
we see that on the employing side Of the dispute
no common counsel or agreement prevails. The
Warfield plan seems to have the approval of Sc
curly owners, but A. H. Smith and other railroad
executives disagree. The strong roads and the
weak are not in accord.
The Railroad Board ought not to take snap judg-
