Inexcusable Negligence.

IIOW careless paper work" in government
n department may lead to tragic injustice and
bitterness is nowhere better illustrated than by the
appearance in the War Departments Stacker list
OF the name OF Thomas Monahan, who died from
tuberculosis in 1910. His relatives justly in
dignant at what they deem incxcusable official
carelcssness both in the original mistake and in
failure to investigate before branding the guiltless
with the mark OF cowardicc. And to those without
a personal interest in the matter, there will seem
something peculiarly repulsive in this CHASTITY mis-
take that unrectifed, would have placed the stigma
of all that is contemplate upon ono whose lips
were Sealed by the fingers OF death. Had Thomas
Monahan been without relatives to right the wrong,
this stigma probably would have forever defaced
an otherwise spotless name. And the pity of it is
that the whole thing was probably due to the care
lessness of some one who may have followed the
shirker's method OF filing the papers in the waste
basket"

from leaping into the millions.
judging the rate of progressive In
crease by the paucity of arrivals in
1919, when the steamship lines car
ried 46,169 first cabin passengers.
44.l56 second cabin and 77,70O
steerage, or a total of only 16S,O25.
The dead low levels in numbers
of passengers was not reached in
1919. however. but in 1918. when
there were only 71,741 passengers
landed in New York. Almost half
of these. or 1885,. were first cabin
passengers, 1884 were second
cabin and only 1886 were steerage
passengers. But it was in 1919 that
the steamship companies reached
the lowest ebb of disbursement,
permitting thei- ships to a total of
only 424 trips, as compared with 799
trips the year before, when handling
the smallest business.
The retrospect must be carried
back to the pre-war period to find
the number OF passengers landed
topping 100000. In 1913, the last
full year, the total was 1.33S.21
Before that a gradual diminution Is
seen. In August, 1914, the can
collation. of bookings was automatic
and six lines suspended service en-
tirely during the month. They
were the Hamburg-Ameri line,
North German Lloyd, Austro- Amer
icana, Russian american line, Red
Star line from Antwerp and the
Cunard line from Trieste and Fipme.
Although the first cabin pas
senger traffic was heavy before the
war, nearly a million of the pas
sengers carried in 1918 booked In
the steerage. This was nearly four
time the number of first cabin pas
sengers, who totaled 1915, while
the second cabin passengers were
230,437. The actual number of
steerage passengers was $3.50. In
that year the number of trips made
by all vessels landing passengers
from Europe in New York was 1924.
In 1914 the number of trips was
cut to 1857. The subsequent de-
crease to the low point in 1919 was
rapid. In 1920 a more economical
basis was again attained when the
67s.ss2 passengers were carried in
604 trips

Margot is losing her pep. Her recent
classics have not been quite up to the standard,
and if she doesn't wake up and hand us a few
hot ones we may forget her altogether Dur
ing the week all she could think of to say
about America was the following:
1.-THE dry law is farcical.
american trains simply terrible.
"You do everything violently over here,
you know.
at is quite common to find young girls
drunk at dances
Americans make so much fuss about
everything.
They have no reverence for anything.
"You think of nothing but scandal over

"You want to read about Fatty Arbuckle

you are bringing up your young men to
be lawbreakers.

School Needs.

THE Congressional conferecs must not cut the
school items on the District appropriation
bill.
1t is, lamentable situation when a member of
Congress frankly states that he has removed his
son from the schools in the Capital because he fears
for the boys safety in our fire trap" institutions
1t speaks i'll for the city when pupil compares
school OF the District to the city Jail, much to
the disadvantage OF the school.
Volumes OF expert testimony have been sub
mitted to Congressional committees describing the
schools as poorly ventilated. badly lighted, unsafe
from the standpoint of fire escapes and inadequate
to care for the large number of students.
No responsible voice has been raised refuting
these clearly proved allegations
There can be only one remedy-the Congress
sionai conferees must allow all the school items.
The issue is plain and cannot be evaded
Any attempt to slice the appropriations for
District schools will be looked on by residents of
the Capital direct hostility to the interests OF
Washington.

NEW YORK, March 27.-Milllon-
aires Row Is about the only spot
left In New York where the very
rich are herded into one district.
1t extends on the avenue from
Sixty-second to Nlnetieth and the
occupant of every house is said
TO be in the multi millionaire clasS.
Not until the morning sun has
bathed Fifth avenue I'm its golden
aureole and the glittering brous-
mans ana victorias swept south
ward with their loads of shoppers
do the big mansions along the Row
show signs of life.
In early hours they apear &c
represent nothing save certain
WEAKNESS and dreariness-an over
tone Of derision against the worku-
day world. The servants Clot into
little groups around the drilled en-
frances. Curtains are tightly drawn.
Morning papers lie on the door
steps unread.
The first to appear are the PAM
pered young blOods off for a gallop
on the bride path in Central Park
opposite or for brisk walk down
the avenue. Theirs is an expression
of bored nonchalancc. a supercilIous-
ness born of adolescence.
They seem Curiously detached
from the stirring crowds that move
and churn about like boiling pitch.
Graded in luxury. they arrive at
manhood with apparently nothing
to occupy their attention but a wisp
of a mustache.
The young girls are different.
They are vibrant with health-exotic
young things who thrill to life and its
myriad activities. They bound down
the stone steps and into their wait
ing cars with a dash. They wave
at passing friends and bubble with
enthusiasm.
Here of late, the very rich are
breaking away from ancestral nails
The great Vanderbilt mansion at
the head of the avenue is soon to
be dismantled. A new colony is.
soon to flourish in Sutton Square
near Avenue A, hard by the East
River and in a neighborhood of
squalor.
