Constantine
Out Again

A Nd SO Constantine has followed
N the prevailing fashion among
"A kaisers, kings, czars ana
sultans. He has-and is-resigned.
"Divine right" is giving way
steadily to the demands OF the
people and the exigencies OF inter-
national politics and economies.
Constantine has certainly been
out of luck.
His close relationship and sus-
pected sympathy with William
Hohenzollern naturally made him
persona non grata with the Allied
Powers and their premiers.
When Greece belatedly entered
the war on the side of the Allies
and became the beneficiary of the
Sevres Treaty, and Constantine had
meanwhile been recalled by the
Greek people to his former throne
the Allies were none too friendly.
Jealousies and conflicting in
terests between France and Eng
land, Italy and France, kept these
powers aloof from the conflict be-
tween Greece and Turkey.
And again Constantine was out
of luck.
When Kemal crushed the Greek
forces, the Sevres Treaty was as
effectively smashed as Sevres
vase. All of the Greek king s
horses and men could not put Con-
stantine s throne together again.
Out of luck as a king, perhaps
Constantine will have more JOY
living the life of a common man.
Even as you and l."

Here, now, is a woman who sues
for divorce, charging her husband,
among other items, with response
bility for her tubercular condition,
because he obliged her to live in a
sixdollar-a a-day hotel room and took
her to restaurants and rotisseries
for meals.
On the other hand, others of us
have felt unwontedly rich when
we paid that sum for a days lodg-

we dined at the rotisserie.
Nor does one sentimentalize over
much as one realizes that whole
families, "east side, west side. all
around the town." are glad to get
one room for a weekly rent of six
dollars.
We are neither ready nor eager
for a communistic equalizing of
conditions; but it is wholesome on
occasion to face the fact of in
equality-with a sympathetic tear

Almost any nation can borrow

Bonus Fight
to Continue

~ PEAKING of the President s
y veto of the Bonus, Mr.. Mac
Nider, president of the Amer
lean Legion, says:
The Legion feels the Bonus
to be just obligation. The
offering of man s life and his
services with the colors at least
should receive consideration with
the services of contractors, manu-
facturers, railroads and shipping
interests.
These obligations have been
or are being paid, and they un-
doubtedly are proper debts, but
the obligation to the veterans still
remains and will remain until
some adjustment is made.
We think that Mr.. MacNider
was altogether too modest in pre-
senting the claim of the soldiers.
This claim for a pitiful acknowl-
edgment of the potential sacrifice
of life and limb and actual sacrifice
of business interests ought not to
be put upon the same footing as
the profits of our war contractors
and other war profiteers.
The Bonus is not a profiteering
matter. 1t represents merely a
little acknowledgment of the. SOL
diers' service.
1t takes the place of lot of
gush, cheering, tears, smiles and
promises that cost nothing and
which are a poor expression of
the gratitude of any people if un-
supported.
1t is beyond belief that this
country feels no gratitude to its
soldiers. The American people
have never hesitated to do Justice
to the soldiers, and they do not
hesitate now.
Therefore let the fight for the
Bonus go on. Let US put out of
office men who find money enough
IN the country to reward the rail
roads by gifts of huge sums for
mlsmanagement which nearly cost
us the victory; who find us rich
enough to pay in full the extor-
tlons of the war profiteers and
manufacturers for poor service and
shOddy goods; who find us able to
raise a huge, new crop of million
aires over night-and yet cannot
tmd money enough to. pay a paltry
five hundred dollars apiece to the
young men whom we took fror,
their homes and their business,
transplanted to foreign country
and subjected to death and disease
and all the discomforts and hard
ships of military life under actual
war conditions.

A Little Talk on Thrift
President American Society For Thrift.
BY S. w. Straus-

That America is tagging be-
hind in this important phase Of
thrift work is shown by a COM
parison with conditions in Eng
land and Wales, where the
combined death rate during the
period Of 1911 to 1920, was S6s
accidental fatalities for one mil.
lion Of deaths. In the United
States the rate for the same
period was TIA.
IF this foreign standard OF
- efficiency were applied in
the United States, It would
mean the annual saving Of ap-
proximately $4,000 lives In ad.
dition to the saving Of a vast
amount Of property otherwise
destroyed by preventable causes.
It Is a good idea to paint tho
letters "A. b. c." on the pave
ments Of a busy city, 1t Is a
splendid thrift lesson.
The Washington times., 1922-10-04

IN a large Middle Western
l. city there can be seen on
almost every principal corner
the letters "A. B. c." painted
on the street pavement in
large, bold strokes.
Wherever one goes In the
business district one Is greet
ed by this cryptic message.
Curiosity leads to inquiry as
to the meaning Of the sign. and
one Is then told that the let
ters mean Always Be Care
full"
IN the United States, a human
l. life is needlessly sacrificed
every six minutes. In the year
1920 there were 10000 acci-
dental deaths. and the toll Is
increasing.
The elimination Of the loss OF
life and property from accident
comes within the range Of thrift
work.

WIN without ldct or conSluerd-
w ton for others is a cruel
w weapon which nobody can
afford to use.
Once when Wilhelm Hohenzol-
lern was Kaiser of the German
Empire, he attended a great din
ner at the end Of a boar hunt.
One of the guests, rough, hon
est landowner, tucked his napkin
under his chin. Wilhelm remarked ::
Does the gentleman want a
shave2'
One cannot quite imagine King
Edward VII, of England, Will
helm S uncle, saying those words.
Edward would likely have tucked
his own napkin in to make the
cOuntryman feel at ease.
The sheer charm of the British
Kings personality had much to do
with the forging of the iron ring
of the entente which came to en-
circle Germany.
Today King Edward is dead, but
his son reigns over the great
est empire of history-an empire
increased by acquisition of Ger
many s oversea possessions. And
Wilhelm Hohenzollern is a broken
old refugee in Holland.
If Germany had had Edward VII
and England Wilhelm II as sover-
elgn, how different might be today
the world in which we live.

YOm Kippur
BY DIR. Charles Fleischer-

IN colloquial Hebrew-not Yid-
L dish-Yom Kippur means
the Day Of Atonement.
The most impressive festival
in the religious calendar Of the
Jews began with sundown last
night and ends with today's set
ting sun.
1t was ushered in with prayer
in all the temples, synagogues
and temporary places Of worship
and is marked with a twenty
four hours strict fast, complete
abstinence from food and
water.
All day reading Of traditional
ritual and practice of solemn
ceremonial characterize the OBJ
servance Of a holiday OF unique
significance in the spiritual an
nails OF the human race.
TT is not easy-or necessary
L now to say anything new or
even novel about Yom Kippur-
the Idea enshrined in a Day
which has claimed and held the
religious loyalty Of practically
all of the billions of the Hebraic
heritage these $500 years.
And yet It may be a bit infor.
native, at least to non-Jews, to
indicate the inner meaning and
purport of this festival, while de-
liberatly ignoring other collater-

IF you examine such maps

Smith in his "World's Food Re.
sources. showing the distribu.
ton OF population over the sur
face of the earth, you will be
struck by the fact that it is
coagulated into a few spols,
while great areas are sparsely
inhabited.
The reason for this is that
most of the desires generated by
modern civilization urge people
to the cities. In the city is
amusement, art, music. culture
and wealth.

al and important aspects OF
Yom Kippur.
THAT inner significance is per-
l. haps best indicated in the
equivalent name by which the
Day Of Atonement is known
namely, the Sabbath Of Sab
baths.
According to Hebraic interpre-
tat:on. the weekly Sabbath is
not merely a day of rest, but Is
a day Of reunion Of Man with
God.
On the Sabbath the cessation
from toll gives the opportunity
for attention to mans spiritual
nature and the assertion Of his
kinship with God.
BY the same token. the Day
OF Atonement, the Sabbath Of
the Sabbaths, symbolically en-
phasizes by the fasting mans
mastery over his physical limi-
tations and by the days devo-
ton to spiritual communion. his
essential oneness with the God
he worships.
CTRIPPED OF the merely He
- braic coloring. the Day OF
Atonement is thus seen to be a
holy day of universal meaning,
another proof OF the Jews
genius for religion.
