Mellon Blocks the Way.

Secretary MELLON, as head of the
Treasury Department, has very
large part to play in the enforce
ment of the dry laws, the principal
enforcement machinery being the
Internal Revenue Bureau, which is
within the province of the Treasury
And Secretary MELLON, with his
sound business head and far business
vision, is not going to let his official
force run wild in the matter of put
ting into effect the astounding opin-
ion of Attorney General DAUGHERTY
regarding the prohibition of liquor
on any foreign vessel within the
American three mile limit.
1t took the foresight OF a Secre-
tary Mellon to anticipate that British
shipping companies and French ship
ping companies and Italian shipping
companies and Scandinavian shipping
companies would do exactly what they
are now doing to test the right of this
country to seize their ships for doing
what they have every right to do
under all international law.
1t took the common sense of Secre-
tary MELLON to see in what a wilder
ness of trouble the United States Gov
eminent would founder IL it under
took to seize foreign ships by fleets.
Imagine the United States Govern
inent Selling the great France and
all the other French steamers COM
ing to our ports!
Imagine the United States Govern
jnent Selling the great Majestic, the
great Berengaria. the great Olympic.
the great Aquitania and all the other
British steamers coming to our ports!
Imagine the United States Govern
ment Selling all the Italian ships and
all the Scandinavian ships coming TO
our ports.
Imagine what would happen to our
very dry laws at the hands of the
American people themselves before
the Government fished itself out OF
the incompatible dilemma such a
course would get it into fathoms
deep,
The British shipowners, the French
shipowners, the other foreign ship
owners were wise and willy strate-
gists to put us to the test by sailing
their great ships toward our shores
cargoed with liquor to be sealed in
side our three mile limit, sailing them
to us with the virtual challenge: "All
right, you seize them"
But the clear Drained Secretary
MELLON, knowing the century old
American contention that an Ameri-
can ship is American soil, was
astute enough to say before case
came to the test that he would not
seize the ships.

the forts and houses which they built
still remain interesting examples of
medieval architecture. Patmos, ac-
cording to tradition, was the island
to which st. JOHN was Danished and
where he wrote the Revelation and it
is the site of the splendid Monastery
of st. John, which was founded by a
Byzantine Emperor. On Cos still
stands the great fortress of Stanko,
built by the knights of st. John. This
island was the seat of famous
Grecian school of learning and from
1t came the great Greek physician
HIPPocRATEs and several of the most
renowned of early Greek poets.
All the associations, historical and
traditional, OF the islands are dis
tinctly Greek. At the same time the
population, with the exception per-
haps of the town of Rhodes, is of
Greek origin. The Reputation of the
Italo-Greek treaty by Italy comes
as considerable surprise. The rea-
son which Italy gives-that the treaty
became imperative through the fail
ure of the Sevres treaty-is perhaps
plausible. Italy, though, has long
coveted these islands and she has
looked upon Greece as her rival in the
Mediterranean. Her attempt to re-
cover the Dodecanese at this time
has much the appearance of an effort
to profit by the present unfortunate
plight of Greece.

There Is wind that sings among the
pines
ON lone hilltop when the twilight
falls.
Sings with mellow murmur, and re-
calls
Sweet memories that come when day
declines:
There when the glow fades out in saffron
lines
Along tho ridges stark as rugged
walls.
When higher in the heavens vast blue
halls
Each star flower like lighted candle
shines;
Out of the dusk and silence comes a
light,
Welcome as is the face Of ono VIC love.
Slowly the glow Increases. slowly

The sky with radiance that transforms

Until October's moon hangs high

Immigration officials are much dis
satisfied with the general class of inn
migrants now coming to this country.
They also fear that the present restric-
tive Immigration law soon will result in
shortage OF labor In the United States.
This Is accumulated by the fact that
for every three immigrants admitted
at least one foreigner ieaves. In the
fiscal year 1922, which ended June 50.
a total of 309.556 aliens was admitted
while 1879 departed. In July ana
August of this year S3,976 aliens entered,
while Is, 1856 left At least half of those
admitted were females. while only one
third Of those which left were OF that
sex. -
One of the chief objects of the restric-
tive immigration law was to halt the
immigration of people from southern
and eastern Europe and encourage those
from northern and western Europe. 1t
Is believed the latter class make better
citizens because they are more like
Americans in character than those Of
Latin blood.
Conditions have improved to such an
extent. however In England. France.
Germany, Sweden. Norway and other
northern European countries that there
Is no particular incentive for the people
of these lands to come to this country.

The Mayor to the Firemen.

1t was the proprietor of THE New
YORK HERALD who was largely instru-
mental in getting for the policemen
and firemen- of this city the rises of
salary which they have won in recent
years, and it is the opinion of THE
New York HERALD that their present
demand for further increase of 1920
year is justified. 1t is not the opin-
ion of Mayor HYLAN that the police
men and flremen are entitled to any
more pay now, and in so far as he can
Justify his position by the condition
of the municipal treasury, the burdens
OF the taxpayers or the relative COM
pensation of these loyal servants OF
the public measured against workers
Of similar responsibility and intelli-
gence in other walks of life, Mayor
HYLAN is entitled to his opinion.
But Mayor HYLAN transgresses all
the rights of his own Office and trans
crosses all the laws of justice and
decency when he upbraids. the spokes-
men of and abuses the whole force OF
firemen as he did upbraid and abuse
them at the Board of Estimate hear
ing simply because they asked this
increase.
When Mayor HYLAN thinks that
the splendid body of fire fighters,
faithful at the call of duty day or
night, endangering their lives when
ever necessary without culver OF
hesitation, have "a pretty soft time"
as he declared they have, he thinks
what the people of New York do not
think of their firemen. When Mayor
HYLAN says, as he said of them, that
the firemen OF New York think too
much of their beds and too little of
their public obligations when on duty,
he says what the people of New York
know is not so.
AS for the propriety of the fremen
and of the policemen appearing at
the City Hall TO press their claims
for favorable consideration, they have
right to ask the Board of Estimate
for rise in salary. They have
right to dignified treatment at the
hands of the Mayor and the board
They have a right to respectful con-
sideration of their arguments.
+ The Mayor and his colleagues. like
the firemen and the policemen, are
the servants of the city. The firemen
and the policemen if individually of
lesser official grandeur than the
Mayor are as important cogs in the
great bulk of municipal machinery as
the larger cogs represented in the
Board of Estimate.
And whatever the relative status OF
a fireman and Mayor, the people OF
| New York do not like to see Mayor
swing his bludgeon against the petit
tioning firemen as Mayor HYLAN
swung his bludgeon against them.
The people of New York will not
think the less Of their firemen for
being subjected to such uncalled for
and unjust treatment. They cannot
but think the less of their Mayor for
being guilty of such conduct.
When this question came UP THE
New YORK HERALD advocated the In
crease. 1t advocated It in the con-
viction that the requested wage, meas
ured by the cost of living, other
wages, &C., was just. And in spite of
the unfriendly attitude of the Board
of Estimate. in spite of the incensed
attitude of the Mayor, THE New York
HERALD still believes the firemen Of
the great city of New York and the
policemen of the great city Of New
York should have the increase in
wage for which they ask.

BOYS MUST SWELTER
 WHILE GIRLS ARE COOL

PORTSMOUTH, N. H., July IT, The school rule that all boys, no mat ter how high the temperature went, must be fully dressed before they enter the school was enforced in the Lawrence and Portsmiuth (N. H. high schools by Principals Horne and Gray. Those who vialate this rule are punished.
 During a warm wave several of the boys went to school in their shirt sleeves. They were sent home by Principal Horne. Boys with their col lars and coats on are forced to sit sweltering in their respective classes, where their girl classmates, with sleeveless blouses and threats ex, posed, are as cool as cucumbers.
