There was never a more decided
contrast than the one afforded BY
cable dispatches from Russia a day OF
two ago. The one told of the Lavish
manner in which Pctrograd was dec
GRATED for the gathering of the
worlds most violent radicals, known
as the Communist International. The
other recounted the fact that 8,00000O
Russians would starve this winter I'M
less America and other countries, but
America chiefly, stepped into the
breach and brought the necessary
food
In Petrograd there was world of
red bunting and brilliant electric
signs. The five-pointed star Of the
Boshevist regime glowed from nearly
every public building of Importance
The street cars were gaily decorated.
The soldiers of Lenine drilled in the
streets i'll preparation for their part
in the great parade which marked the
opening of the International. The radi-
Gals from various parts of the globe
rode about in automobiles on tours
of inspection and pleasure. Well
dressed and comfortably fed dele
gates lounged about hotel Hobbies and
ate luxurious meals in restaurants. By
some saturine chance even the Of
fices of the American Relief Admins
tration were profusely ard. eXtrava-
gantly adorned by the Soviet
Elsewhere in Russia death and
famine were stalking at the same
time. There were well authenticated
reports going to the rest of the world
that cannibalism was breaking oui
again in certain sections. News
stories chronicled the, fact that the
10000 deluded men and women who
followed the notorious big Bill'
Haywood to help him mine precious
metals in Siberia were in the direst
straits from cold, hunger and ex-
posure. Haywood himself was said to
have appealed to America to keep
lIim and his fellow members OF the l.
w. w. from the horrors of starvation.
1t is a peculiar situation and one
that revots the imagination The fact
that numerous Americans were pres
ent at the opening of the international
does not exactly add to the feeling OF
pride with which this country ordi-
narily views itself 1t is warning
likewise that there is still necessity
for care and caution to block the eff
forts of the misguided few who some
how cling to the belief that Russia
offers the rest of the world something
other than most striking example of
all that is worst in government.
The expectation of any good thing
from government that recklessly
spends its substance for vain display
while starvation is rampant among its
people is impossible. The heartless-
ness of the whole performance amazcs
as it nauseates.-Nashvi,le Banner

GETTING BOTH SIDES

There is certain Congressman
who has the reputation of being the
neatest fence straddler in the PRO-
fession, man who is always ans-io us
to conc;iiate everything. A measure,
on viii h there was marked division
of option, was about to come up
''Wil the gentleman vote for this
bill if it comes up?" demanded mem
Der, aiming a finger at the Congress
man in question.
The latter looked from one side of
the House to the other and slowly
answered:
Il will"
Immediately the opposition broke
into storm Of booing. AS soon as
the member could make himself
heard, he continued:

and the speaker added hastily:

Nonsense
In every passionate longing
What real difference would there
That burns meath the vaulted skies,
Though it still may sleep or be hid
den deep,
The germ Of fruition lies;
And the path, tho strange, and the
way unknown
Is leading ever unto our own.
There are depths which we may not
fathom,
There are heights which we can
not see;
In some unknown time or undreamed
of cline,
Who knows what is yet to be?
The shuttle swings, but the threads
lie straight,
In and out of the web of fate.

FATE
A little brook on hillside
Once longed for the distant sea;
In its summer dreams there were
strange, bright CLEANS
OF waves that we're wild and free.
But the bold sun glittered its waters
DER.
And the little brook was seen no more
Then the flowers mourned on the
hillside
For the dream that never could be;
Yet far away there were clouds that
day
That Swallowed the heaving sea,
And loi mid the thunders wild
alarms.
The rain drops slipped to the oceans
arms.

Morons and Mental Tests.

OF course the high grade moron"
so called by Bellevue psychopaths,
should have passed the mental test"
which Judge RosALsxY imposed on
him the other day when he appeared
in court as witness. There is moth
ing at all surprising in the fact that
he did-only 1t wasn't real mental
test at all. A mental test is a scien-
tific technic, not series Of more or
less random questions.
When psychologists speak of mo-
rons they do not mean class set
off distinctly from other people. No
clear line of demarcation exists be-
tween the various grades of intelli-
gence; on the contrary, they merge
into one another without the least
abruptness from the lowest to the
highest. There are different grades
or shades-of moron intelligence.
The witness in Judge RosAIsKY's
court had been called by the Bellevue
exA miners HOt just al uHoiou puI
high grade moron. 1t would be re-
markable II he had not shown con-
siderable degree Of, let us say, smart
ness rather than intelligence.
Forty-hve per cent. OF the popula-
tion has a mental age OF IL years or
less, and that includes the high grade
morons, above whom come next In
order the people OF '1ow average"
and average" intelligence. JOSEPH
CuoATE once remarked that 'the
trouble with the feeble minded is
that there are so many of u.s." II
Mr.. CHoATE or ARISTOTLE had been
graded for intelligence he would not
have received mental rating higher
than is or 10 years. For this is the
upper limit. placing its possessor In
the "a" or Very Superior" rank.
which represents about AZ per cent.
of the present total population OF
America.

In recent years cooperative organ
izations have done much to raise the
level of dramatic achievement in
this city. The Theater Guild has
accomplished so much that its pro-
ductions have been eagerly sought
by commercial theater managers
after their usefulness at the Garrick
had come to an end. But the direc-
torate of the Theater Guild is not
made up exclusively of actors.
The players will be brought to
recognize the business of amusing
the public from the viewpoint Of the
managers. They will learn to SYM
pathize with the troubles of the men
who have on their shoulders respon-
sibility for the successful business
direction OF theatrical enterprises.
Whatever actors may have thought
in the past, they will probably look
more sympathetically on the strug-
giles Of the impresario.

Unlawful, Expensive Buses.

The opinion of Supreme Court JUS
tice DELEHANTY accompanying an in
junction against the operation Of the
Sixty-f1fth street bus line gives a
good idea OF the manner in which the
Hylan administration fiouts the law
and spends the peoples money in it's
effort to embarrass the Transit Com
mission and delay the making of a
real transportation system.
In establishing this bus line the
city administration violated the
Charter. 1t violated the transporta-
tion corporations law. 1t violated
the Public Service Commissions law.
1t violated. indeed, the Constitution
itself by giving or lending the city's
money or credit for other than city
purposes.
Persons who have been deluded
into thinking that the Hylan admin
istration was running the buses for
the peoples comfort and profit will
pO iieSiCobCu W iCdi IL llOih
DELEHANTY' opinion that, while the
city spends thousands of dollars a
year for the salaries of the starters
and supervisors Of this bus line, the
city gets nothing back. AS Justice
DELEHANTY remarks:
Although the owners of the buses
are acting as common carriers of
passengers for hire. and the opera
ton OF the buses is successful. yet
the city receives no revenue there
from and all the profits go to private
individuals"
What a bitter indictment of the
gang in the City Hall who mouth
abuse OF public service corporations
and talk about the benefits of mu-
nicipal operation!

A Wireless Law.

Naval officials are reported from
Paris as saying that none Of the
French freight steamships near the
steamer Egypt when she sank off
Brest, the lives of fifteen passengers
and eighty members of the crew
being lost, was equipped with wire
less.
The Egypt went down twenty min
utes after her collision with the
Seine. The captain of the Seine,
according to his own declaration,
had difficulty in finding the Egypt
after the crash. 1t took him almost
twenty minutes to get to her in the
fog. and when he reached her the
Egypt was laundering. II other ves-
sells had heard the Egypt's call for
aid they might not have reached her
in time to be Of help. But that is
not the point.
The point Is that years after wire
less has been proved invaluable for
the saving of life in accidents at sea
there were vessels in the much used
waters connecting the open sea and
the English Channel which lacked
the means of communication they
should have had. These vessels
would have carried wireless had the
international agreement requiring all
ships to be equipped with 1t been
signed promptly after it was put for
ward IN January, 1914. The United
States and four other countries, in
Guiding Germany, signed 1t before
the war began. French officials were
not authorized to sign until July,
1920. They were then informed that
it was too late because the conven-
tons time limit had expired in
December, 1914.
There the matter has rested since.
No further action has been taken
to compel all vessels which travel the
sea lanes to carry wireless. There
is just about as much sense in per-
mitting small vessels to ignore wire
less as there would be in permitting
small motor cars to run without
lights at night while requiring motor
trucks to display them.
This is a matter which, while it
needs international action, should
not be marked by the hemming and
having which usually precede. such
agreements. Action could be quickly
taken and should be quickly taken.

A Theater for Actors.

The actors are now to have play
house OF their own. Their Equity
has leased the Forty
eighth Street Theater, which will
hereafter be devoted TO productions
by the Equity Players, Inc. This is
the enterprise of its members rather
than OF the association itself. The
money to maintain II Is not to come
out OF the treasury OF the society,
since the players to be concerned In
the management Of the theater have
underwritten it's financing. Plays
will be presented by the actors next
season, although the engagement OF
each will be limited. In case a play
wins enduring success II will be
transferred to another stage.
The actors have long wanted to
direct theater OF their own. IL
took their uniGcation i'm the Equity
to make this possible. Their strike
was protest against domination by
the managers. Now they are going
TO protest artistically and try 10
show that after all they alone arc
necessary to the theater. or course
they have not eliminated the play.

Special Dispatch TO THE NEW IoHK HSnALp
LOCUST VALLEY, l.. l.. May 2s.--More
than 800 neighbors and friends OF the
late Henry +. Dawson attended the spe-
cial service held here in his honor this
afternoon in the Mat!necock Neighbor-
hood House
Mr.. william j. Tully presided and the
memorial address was made by Mr.. John
W. Davis. former Ambassador 10 Great
Britain. The platform was banked with
flowers and across its front was large
Red Cross flag.
In his address Mr.. Davis said the
gathering was not to pay tribute to Mr..
Dawson as business man but as
neighbor.
''Mr. Dawson was not only a beloved
friend and neighbor." he said. "but an
American TO a degree not surpassed by
any Of Lis generation--one who had the
respect and esteem of the civilized
world"
The former Ambassador said many
lessons could be learned from Mr.. Da-
vison's life; that he was leader and
teacher and had the confidence OF ma
tions. In comm enting upon the visit
Mr.. Dawson made to Washington when
he was appointed head of the Red Cross
the situation and said the Red Cross had
zone liab.lity--the solemn obligation to
relieve the war suffering-and one asset
the good will OF the America people.
His work for the Red Cross, many
thought could not be done, MIR. Davis
said. but he went ahead with the RELIEF
work and "astonished the country On
what he accomplished
Mr.. Davis said that Mr.. Dawson had
four wonderful attributes-frst. the at
tribute Of capacity to see the.larger view
of things with vision never marrow nor
restricted; second. an inspiring snthu-
slasm to all great captains; third, an
carnestncss to be helpful to his Fellow
man. and, fourth, his courage.
The Rev. Charles Hinton, pastor OF
the Episcopal Church of st. Johns of
darlington. opened the memorial with
prayer and the Right Rev. Frederick
Burgess of Long Island gave the bene-
dction.
During the services Mrs. Dawson. the
widow her two daughters Miss Frances
and Mrs. Alice Dawson Gates. and her

son, remained in small room and lis

The Situation in Bulgaria.

The Bulgarian Minister at Wash
ington, STEFAN PANAREroFF, in deny
ing the recent report of revolt in
Bulgaria, added that the political
situation in that country was threat
ening. The dour, hard headed Bull
garians are intense politicians and
the bitterness of their contests have
in the past sometimes led to political
excesses. SrAMBoULoFF, the wisest
OF their early leaders, was killed
by a political enemy. ALEXANDER
GIE1orr. one Of their ablest diplo-
mats, was assa ssinated last Sunday
night. ALEXANDER STAMBULIsKI, the
present Premier, declaring that zone
must be prepared for DEATH" said
that he placed on record the Govern
ment business so that the functions
of Government might not be sus-
pended by "any fate OF mine"
Bulgaria's problems are peculiarly
her own. She was dragged into the
world war by King FERDINAND
largely against her own will and she
carried on the fight half heartedly
after she defeated her ancient enc
mics. the Serbians. She was in
tensely bitter at losing the hegemony
of the Balkans, the territory she had
won in Balkan wars and the outlets
she had acquired on the Hgean Sea-
She declares too that the reparation
demands inflict too heavy burden
upon her in her present impover-
ished condition.
Now that FERDINAND Is gone II Is
difficult to find person upon whose
shoulders to place the blame for all
these national ills and II Is equally
difficult to find person or a party
that can furnish a satisfactory rem
edy for them. The situation is COM
plicated by the presence OF about
10000 Russian refugees, soldiers ur-
der General WRANGEI.. former anti
Bolshevist leader. Many Bulgarians
insist upon the expulsion of these
refugees. The reason is not entirely
communistic sympathy with the Mos
COW Government hut rather a desire
TO do nothing that might bring down
upon Bulgaria the wrath of the big
neighbor on the north and also to
be relieved from the burden OF car
ing for this addition to the nations
own poor.
Many Bulgarians are communists,
but their communism Is OF differ.
ent brand from that at Moscow.
LENINE believed that Bulgaria would
be easily won TO Bolshevlst ideals
and he early sent his representatives
there. What the BulgarIans told
those representatives in substance
was this: We were communists cen
turies ago; communism was one OF
our early tribal institutions; we
