Two Mothers.

A youth of 10 was convicted as a
robber in New York city last week
and was remanded for sentence by
the court. He may be sent to Sing
Sing for term of twenty years.
This young mans mother was a
highly respected resident of one OF
those settlements in this town
wherein neighborliness persists and
friendships are cultivated. She bore
up bravely when her eldest son gave
his life for his country in France.
that sacrifice she could make, not
without grief but without despair.
When her second sons disgrace
came upon her. however, she could
not bear up under it. Her mind gave
way, and yesterday she ST. "eeded in
taking her own life.
While this tragedy was III ..")gress
in the crowded city Mrs. CATHARINE
ESoN, the young wife of a farmer
living near Nelson, Missouri, allowed
herself to burn to death rather than
endanger the lives of her two chill
dren. Her clothing was ignited from
stove. She ran to a bedroom to
get blanket to smother the flames.
Her children lay asleep on the bed.
Mrs. ENoN feared that il she went to
the bed to take the blanket from il
her flaming clothing might endanger
her children. She spared them
danger, but at the cost OF her life.
A great deal of time is spent in the
consideration and denunciation Of the
superficial follies of women. In
thinking of women let us think OF
these two mothers.

Time for Action in Ireland.

Generally speaking. strike is a
poor weapon to use against disorder.
it is likely to add fuel to the fire.
But the one day strike threatened by
the Irish trades unions as means
Of bringing the Provisional Govern
ment OF the Irish Free State to a full
sense Of its responsibilities is at least
a good indication of the Irish atti-
tude toward the lamentable condition
of affairs in the island.
The labor manifesto demands that
the military be brought to recognize
civil authority. In other words, the
administration Of COLLINS and
GRIFFITH must put down the insur-
rection that exists or confess itself
unable to govern. The negotiations
now under way between the Free
State leaders and the De Valera
group are unlikely to end the
guerrilla warfare which besets Dub
lin. The wild young men who are
saying with their guns that they will
have republic or nothing would
probably repudiate any agreement
made by DE VALERA in the way Of
peace.
The hesitation of COLLINS to use
drastic methods toward the rebels is
naturally attributed to his disin-
clination to have them regarded as
martyrs. But as the rebels are mur-
dering citizens-citizens Of the Free
State which the Collins Government
has been commissioned to maintain
and protect--it is about time that
they were recognized and treated as
outlaws, not as patriots.

Vatican and Soviet.

Even before Cardinal RATTI be-
came Pope it was reported in Rome
that the Catholic Church had i'll
mind missionary invasion of Rus
sia, which had suffered a decline
spiritual as well as political and eco
nomic. The election of Cardinal
RATTI. who had been Papal Nuncio
to Poland in the days of that coun-
try's struggle against Bolshevism,
added to the belief that Rome would
send its workers to the vast region
where the organization of the Greek
alienated sister Of the Roman.
had been broken by the revolution.
So it is no surprise to hear from
Rome that representatives of the So
Wet have signed treaty with the
Vatican permitting Jesuits, Francis
cans and some other orders to enter
Russia and carry on educational
work. The Soviet, which came to
power through disorder, now longs
for order. AS the Roman Catholic
Church is strong supporter of gov
ernmentaI order the Lenine Govern
ment expects to benefit by admitting
the missionaries. The reasons Of the
Church for wishing the door opened
TO the Russian field are obvious.

The Operas Closing.

With CARUso gone, New York has
had its first full season of grand
opera--the season of five months at
the Metropolitan which will close
this evening. CARUso was supreme.
New York had come to look upon him
as indispensable to grand opera. Yet
lacking CARUso the opera season has
been success.
With GATTI-CAsAZZA at the helm
opera went on. New talent was en-
gagged and New York had strikingly
successful season.
The Metropolitan Opera House has
held uniformly large audiences. 1t
may be found on investigation that
the patronage this year has been
greater than ever before in its his

The company has been strengthened
by the engagement of GALII-CURcI
and TITTA RUFFo. JERITzA proved a
greater favorite than anybody had
reason to foresee and CHALIAPIN drew
immense audiences. These newcom-
ers added their power to the strength
Of the familiar company, and the 1921

history Of New York as one OF its

it was besieged and captured by Al
banians, Greeks and Bulgars, and
served all in turn as capital. Near
by at Ochrida Gear SAMUEL in the
tenth century proclaimed the Bull
garian Empire, and through Monastir
struggled back home SAMUEL's $1,000
soldiers, blinded by order OF the
Byzantine ruler BASIL III.
The Turks after long siege cap
tured 1t and, partly destroying 1t,
built upon its old foundations new
town with Turkish palaces. great
administration buildings. barracks
and hundred splendid mosques.
Monastir in the last century was the
center of the long racial and re-
ligious strife in Macedonia. The
Serbs finally won it in the Balkan
war and transformed it into a Ser
bian defense. No place in the Bal
kans was so hard fought over in the
world war as Monastir, and when the
Bulgars with King FERDINAND at
their head marched into the captured
stronghold they found silent, devas-
tated city.
The inhabitants had scarcely be-
gun to remove the scars of wars and
fires when they were confronted with
this weeks disaster. Hundreds, ac-
cording to the report, were killed
and more than half of the inhabi-
tants are shelterless owing to the de-
struction of their homes. Ii this
town of tragedies is to be rebuilt It
would seem that Europe must help
in the work of reconstruction. Who
was to blame for the disaster is not
yet clear; perhaps the responsible
ity will never be determined. But
the placing of such an immense
stock Of high explosives in a position
which imperiled a whole town full
of people is certainly an offense
against humanity which should not
pass without an Investigation.

How to Study Music.
knowledge Of Composition an Aid
in Actual Playing.

To THE NEW YORK HERALD = The rea-
son many music pupils of the present
day take little interest In their work Is
because they have not the rcmotest idea
as to how music Is composed.
The word harmony a generation ago
meant years of endless writing Of chords
after fixed rules away from any instru-
ncnt. Present day methods have made
it possible to obtain the elements of
simple composition in year. A person
who has learned how to write an eight
measure period with very simple bass
accompaniment Is far more interested
and advanced musically than one who
has learned a few snowy pieces in the
same time.
To write these measures the student
must possess a definite understanding Of
how notes are written, the time and
length Of each note. the rhythm of 1t and
the key or keys It may be in. The OBJ
ject Of such study should not be to make
another poor composer in the world, but
to gain an understanding OF the process
SO that in actual playing the reason for
everything seen on the printed page will
be obvious.
When we know why a thing Is writ
ten In a certain way 1t becomes simple
to play It that way. Let music students
look deeper into their music and so OBJ
tain real pleasure and profit from 1t.

Our Great Coal Problem.
Too Many Mines and Too Many
Miners One Of the Factors.

To THE New YORK HERALD: I have
read with much interest indeed your
editorial article of April on "Our
Great Coal Problem"
There is one factor in the situation
which the public does not seem prop
eriy to appreciate, and that is that the
coal business, as many others in this
country. Is overbuilt We have too
many mines and too many miners for
the present coal trade.
This Is not merely an incident to the
expansion In war time. but so far as BIZ
luminous mining is concerned Is chronic.
The system Of collective bargaining in
the central competitive States was built
up as an Offset and with a view Of in
Producing certain amount OF equaliza-
tion Of competition and regularization
OF industry, since under the Sherman
antitrust act it was impossible for the
operators to protect themselves.
The industry will not be on sound
economic basis until some means are
adopted to require the showing OF
public need before additional mines may
be opened in any district. This could
be done through the Interstate Com
merce Commission, which has jurisdic-
ton over the allowing of railroad con-
nections and the allotment of all cars.
IT is very doubtful. however. IL pub
lie opinion win sustain any such restric-
tive measures. II. FOSTER BAN,

Hylanesque.

In his effort to counteract the ef
feet of Governor MILLER's speech on
the States duty in the matter of the
city's transit situation Mayor HYLAN
resorts to all his old ways of abusing
the Governor. One Of these is the
statement that Mr.. MILLER was once
the attorney of the Brooklyn Rapid
Transit Company.
What is the evil in that. assuming
its truth? Mr.. HYLAN himself was
once the attorney for the Black Dia
mond Automobile Company. If that
corporation were still alive and look
Ing for city business would the Mayor
be suspected of favoring it? No, only
by the meanest minds.
1t is doubtful, however, whether
the Governor cares what the Mayor
says SO long as the city gets better
transportation service. In the same
speech in which he breathed fire at
the Governor Mr.. HYLAN as much
as promised that the Board of Esti
mate would act soon on the Four
teenth street subway contracts. II
sounded like a man who is yielding
to the inevitable.
Governor MILLER made it plain to
the people of New York that the
State, through the Transit Commits
sion, is doing it's best to right the
transportation wrongs and that i
will not patiently endure obstruction
from politicians or public service
corporations.
The straphangers do not care how
badly the Governor has wounded the
Mayors vanity. They will be de
lighted, though, If the Governor
plain talk stirs the Board of Esti
mate to action.

A Subtle Countermove.

OF course the public has not had,
and is not likely to have, the whole
story of the Rapallo treaty between
Germany and Russia. The secret mo-
tives that caused it's precipitate exc
cution have not been revealed.
The rather casual statements given
out by Germany and Russia to the
effect that treaty between these two
nations had been discussed in Berlin
and was on the verge Of execution at
the time of the opening Of the con-
ference are not convincing.
Neither is the statement convinc-
ing that they wished to enter the
conference unhampered by a treaty
alliance. Such statements are ad-
missible in diplomacy.
II Germany and Russia had found
the atmosphere of the conference
more to their liking; IL they had
found themselves in the favored
sphere of influence, it may well be
that the Rapallo treaty never would
have been framed and signed.
Indeed, the whole affair has the
appearance Of subtle countermove
by these two nations to strengthen
their position, and the indications at
this juncture are that they did So
strengthened it markedly.

Contrasts in City Hall Park.

Now that "Civic Virtue" is on its
pedestal in City Hall Park the pub
lie has it's chance to form its own
opinion of the MacMonnies marble.
If it thinks the hero's face too remi-
niscent Of the football player of the
'90s, IL 1t finds the bobbed hair or
the bony form Of the sirens distaste-
full, IL 1t fears the work too large for
its surroundings, then let the Art
Commission hear the verdict of the
Six Million.
At any rate, the people should so
and see. And If the big white fel-
low on the fountain does not fill their
minds eye then they have only to
turn around and find solace in an.
other work OF Mr.. MAcMoNNIEs, exc.
cuted thirty years ago. In all the
world Of sculpture there could be no
greater contrast than that between
"Civic Virtue" and the bronze like
ness of NATHAN HALE. One is huge,
white, we'll fed and somewhat vacant
OF expression. The other Is small,
dark. lean and burning with the fire
of the patriot.
1t is worth while putting "Civic

no other purpose than to bring New
Workers to a spot where they must

mines on the Pacific coast would be
opened UP by this railroad. Capitalizing
the new railroad at the above stated
cost. what would the price of coal have
to be to pay per cent. on the cost of
the road? And how many tons could
be mined yearly?
And is the statement as to the value
of the coal a true one? And is 1t not
the fact that the navy, in whose behalf
this money was spent. is abandoning
the use Of coal in favor Of oil?
And is It not Clifford Pinchot, now
campaigning for Governor Of Pennsyl-
vania, who is responsible for the whole
situation, the throttling Of the future
of the Territory ten years or SO ago?
Is there more perfect example OF
bureaucracy in the whole departmental
