LOST WITHOUT u. S.
Says America Is Not Keeping
Faith With France.

LONDON. Sept. 1 ASSOCIATED Press).- =
James NJ. Cox. Democratic candidate for
President of the United States in the last
election. speaking to-day before the
American Society on the subject OF Eu-
ropean conditions, said.
There are those who express the
opinion that things are so bad in Europe
that. America is better outside a COM
plicated situation. They fail to remem-
her two things, first. that the very cir
cumstance of our self-isolation has con-
tributed to the present confusion, and.
second, that economists are all agreed
there can be no effective solution with
ou. Americas wholehearted participa-
ton"
Dwelling on the claims OF France, he
said Let us not forget that when she
asked the right to occupy the east bank
of the Rhine as a measure OF protec-
tion she accepted the counter proposal
that the United States and Great Britain
would Join in a guarantee against inva-
sion. and that America has not kept the
faith.
when we have fulfilled that obliga-
ton, or when we have joined with the
nations of the earth in the only going
concern created for the preservation of
peace. then we can consistently talk dis
armament to France

Stabilixing Coal.
Advantages Of . System Of All the
Year Round Buying.

To THE NEW YORK HERALD: Refer
ring to the letter signed &C. H" about
the coal supply question. as a landlord
required by law to supply heat and hot
water to his tenants I suggest as a
remedy for such q condition as now
exists that the large city consumers Of
hard coal for purposes Of heating--that
is to say. owners or managers OF apart
ment houses, ONCE buildings and hotels
organize system OF yearly contracts
for their hard coal supply by which they
would arrange early in the year for their
supply and agree TO receive it at any
time most convenient to the miners and
dealers. ~.s-
They should pay certain percentage
Of the price, if demanded. as the coal
is delivered. The possession OF the ccal
might be made basis for borrowing
from the banks. The interest on such
borrowings would probably be less In
the end than the losses from waiting till
the approachsof winter before buying In
the hope OF getting the coal cheaper or
saving the interest on the cost, hope
which is generally disappointed.
The certainty that the coal as mined
would be taken by the buyer, and paid
for largely would give the miners Sc
curity for working all the warm season !;
would keep the delivery by railroads and
local dealers more evenly distributed
through the year and theN whole coal
business would have that even running
necessary to economic operation.

the power. welded over mems minds
by fiction.
The quality of the book BoDDx was
reading need not enter into consid-
Grafton at all. The novel could just
as well have been one Of THAcKERAy's
or Of HAROLD BELL WRIGHr's, a detec-
tive story or magazine, yarn Of ad-
venture. For this man CHAMBERS
was interesting.
1t would be truer in many in
stances to say that men merge, rather
than submerge. their identities in
the characters of fiction. They be-
come for time this other man
whom they read about. That is the
lasting attraction which the tale Of
romance and adventure has for the
average man; he enjoys the per-
formance OF feats utterly foreign to
his own manner Of life; he wields
the sword, he subdues the savage
tribe. he rescues the damsel, he flips
the ashes from his cigarette in the
face Of immediate danger.
That BoDpY could forget the chair
in book is interesting also because
1t is commonly believed that only
persons completely lacking imagina-
tion can face death with the stolidity
this murderer displayed. But BopDY
must have had some imagination or
he could not have lost himself in
the novel.

In the emergency tariff law enacted a
year ago to stand until the new law
could be passed. The Underwood tariff
bill had wool on the free hist.
During the debate on the McCumper
BILL now before the conference COM

than 500, 900 900 a year. adding to every
suit and overcoat from 81 to $50. These
figures were furnished by clothing

According to information at the Capt.
to to-day the conference committee on
the Fordney- -McCumber bill has con-
tinued to make rapid progress with the
amendments. 1t Is said that OF the
fifteen schedules In the bill only four,
the textile schedules, remain to be con-
sidered. These, however, are the sched-
ules in which the greatest discussion
rests. Many controverted items in the
other schedules have been passed over
to be settled later. SO, on the whole,
they are not complete.
Chairman McCumber of the Senate
Finance Committee, at tho head of the
conference committee. said he hoped 1T

possible. There still remain to be set

upon has been highly tentative and sub

Danse Macabre.

As went down the winding path
That led me through the wood
heard brisk wind piping in
The basking solitude.
And met upon the narrow way
BY lofty branches spanned
A fairy In a russet cloak
Who danced a saraband.
She whiried and spun and leaped along
Before me as went,
Now circing swiftly to and fro,
Now resting still and spent
And then gyrating on again
With light and airy grace.
AN elf" | said, come out to play
In this secluded place"
Still faster round and round she flew
And fell upon the mold
Reposing for a space beneath
A ray OF morning gold.
And 10. Il was the first brown leaf
or Autumn, sad and sere.
Dancing the devils dance OF death
Before the dying year.

Remember the Woodpecker.
Some Dead Trees Needed TO House a
Useful Friend of Man.

To THE NEW YORK HERALD: While
Mr.. Sutria is cutting down the dead
trees to supply wood for fuel. please
may we ask him to spare those which
are old enough and soft enough toFbe
excavated by woodpeckers for living
quarters? Also please let stand here
and there enough dead maple and oak
trees not so soft to take the places OF
the old ones as they blow down.
One good old dead bole will harbo-
several families of birds. And one fam
lily Of these birds will keep at least a
quarter mile plot OF woodland pretty
free from some OF its most destructive
insects. Cut down all dead trees and
the woodpecker must move away to
places not yet within reach Of mans az.
As rule / believe injurious insects
prefer a tree that Is already dying or
at least Is sick or with injured bark.
They seldom attack healthy trees.
speak not from technical knowledge, so
perhaps I am wrong; but those have
been my observations through decade
of living in the woods.
Anyway. please spare the oldest trees
for the birds. BELLE SILvERA.

1t is q question Of playing the game
in the most scientific way and the
best way to get winning results, or
Of playing it for the highest edifica-
tion OF the gallery. which from time
immemorial has been worshipper Of
power.
The crowd likes to see the golf
ball soar over yards and yards of
turf. The long fight OF the sphere
appeals to its sense of the dramatic.
The baseball fan likes to see the
ball soar over the heads of the strain
ing outfielders and into the stands.
That means a run in the quickest
possible way--power combined with
the last word in quick scoring. The
fan does not care fig for the fact
that the batter. with his ambition
fixed on home run. may have lost
three or four opportunities in that
very game to make shorter hits and
help his teammates more effectively
than he does with the home run.
The best American golfers are ig-

Long Hits in Golf and Baseball.

In commenting on the defeat of
the British golf team by the Ameri-

most forgotten art. The skillful
squeeze play. on the rare occasions
when It is attempted, is regarded as
the most brilliant OF diamond gems.
The intricate double steal, the inter-
cepted throw from the outfeld to get

throw from the outfeld itself, are
submerged by spectacular food OF

The Fate of the Bonus.

The details of twisting the bonus
bill into form which shall be agree
able to both Senate and House are OF
relatively small interest now. Each
end Of the Capitol has voted for a
bonus and the public Is not particu-
larly concerned with the appendages
Of the bill.
+ What the public is Interested in
now is the ultimate fate of the meas
ure with which politicians in Con-
gress believe they are securing their
reelection. Will President HARDING
veto the bill and II he vetoes it will
Congress pass it over his veto?
So, far as the public knows the
President has not swerved from his
stand on the bonus. His expressed
opinion was that the bill should not
be passed unless Congress provided
the means Of meeting the huge cost.
President HARDrNG's Secretary Of
the Treasury recently pointed out
that the Government is faced with
deficit Of s4O0, ,000,00 How, then,
can the United States begin paying
the five billions of bonus money, even
1T the outlay for the first year were
not more than $4,000, 900, as Sena-
tor McCuMBER says it will be?
Manifestly if the bonus bill be-
comes law there will be no way of
providing the funds for 1t except by
issuing bonds or piling new taxes on
a nation which is now staggering
under the taxes created by the war.
II President HARDING should veto
the bonus grab THE NEW YORK
HERALD believes that the United
States Senate will not pass the bill
over his veto. In the vote OF Thurs
day thirty-two Senators were aligned
against the measure. Add one more
Senator to this group and the bonus
will lack the two-thirds vote that IL
necessary to override the Presiden-
tial objection. s
Surely among the Senators who
were counted for the bonus there will
be at least one man willing to stand
by the President in the happy event
OF Mr.. HARDrNG's refusing to coun-
tenance the grave mistake Of the five.
