Wrong Rail Rate Making.

In his address before the Adver-
tising Club DANIEL WILLARD, presi-
dent of the Baltimore and Ohio Rail-
road. rightly names unscientffic and
impractical rate making as one OF
the causes of trouble both for the
carrier and for the shipper. The only
sound basis for rate making that is
advantageous TO all concerned, in
Guiding the consumer. is sane and
fair application of the old transpor-
tation principle Of what the traffic
will bear.
Whenever veteran railroad men
proclaimed this truth in the old days
OF their own rate making powers
storm OF public protest went up. But
nothing has proved the truth of their
axiom more convlncingly than the
system which began with Govern
r1ent operation. This was the slap
ping on OF horizontal rate increases,
one upon the other, regardless of
whether the rate killed some traffic
that could not bear the load or got
virtually no greater volume OF reve-
Bue out OF other traffic that could
stand very much heavier charges
than we're imposed.
Millions OF tons OF potatoes, left 10

good thing for the farmer who raised
his potatoes to no purpose. cannot be
good thing for the public wanting
more potatoes and cheaper potatoes
TO eat. cannot be a good thing for
the railroads hauling empty cars in
stead OF cars filled with revenue
making freight. And what Is true
oi potatoes Is true OF other food
products.
ON the other hand, articles OF small
dimension but OF high value, whether
implements OF fine steel or expensive
underclothes, and whether shipped by

might have 500 per cent. freight

quite negligible proportion OF the
value and the selling price Of the
article. The rate would not kill busi-
ress: 1t would not oppress the public.

The Central Box Office.

When the Producing Managers AS
sociation met and voted to have a
central agency for the distribution of
tickets 1t took step forward in its
effort to protect theatergoers from
the ticket spectators. The specula-
tors have their Offices in convenient
places and that is undoubtedly one
reason why persons who do not mind
the extra cost patronize them. The
aters are hard enough to reach In
these days of congested traffic. II
takes uncommon enthusiasm to seek
out the box Offices for tickets that
will In nine cases out OF ten be un-
obtainable unless the purchase is
made very far in advance.
Accessibility will in any case be
an advantage 10 the public. Theater-
goers probably will not grumble at
paying an additional ten cents for the
convenience They we're recently in
vited to pay fifty cents premium and
evidently did not eagerly respond,
since the managers have come for
ward with the new plan.
The adoption of such a method OF
selling tickets is irreconcilable with
one of the most important principles
on which the business Of the theatres
Is to-day conducted. II often hap
pens that manager. before his play
is seen In New York. is enabled by
the "buy"--that Is, the advance sales
to the speculators--to sell most OF
his tickets for six or eight weeks
The theater IN this country Is pri-
vate enterprise. II Is conducted on
business methods, just as other com
mercial undertakings. The oppor-
tunity to avoid the risk OF financial
failure that Is offered by selling out
most OF the theater for two months
appeals 20 nearly every Snowman.
The spectators are always will
ing to journey to the other cities in
which the play is performed to decide
whether they. as business men, shall
or shall not invest IN II. On this

ure and rate increases were coming
as frequently as spring showers. coal
and steel girders and hay got the
same horizontal percentage push up
ward as diamonds, so to speak. This
was not the only thing that helped to
bring the railroads to the verge OF
bankruptcy In the wake OF the war,
for while their business was being
rate taxed TO smaller volume their
expenses were going up wildly. But
1! threw thousands OF shippers. out
OF markets where they long had been
selling their products. 1t gave the
public smaller supplies when II could
have used larger supplies and higher
prices when 1t needed lower prices.
This horizontal system was hope
lessly wrong when it started with
Government operation; ii is hope
lessly wrong when 1t continues now,
four years after the close OF the war.
The traffic rates of the railroads
need thorough overhauling to get
them on the right basis-the basis
o. what the traffic can reasonably
bear and ought so to bear. This
means some rates would go down.
some would go up and some, perhaps,
would stay where they are. 1t would
mean square deal for the shipper
and the consumer and 1t would mean
moro business for the railroads.

Bliss Reveals Allied Dissensions

TO take the responsibility, each national
commander assumed that the sustained
attack In force would come against him.
He had to assume. In the light OF his
information. the most probable line OF
this attack and locate his own general
reserve accordingly. Otherwise he left
everything to chance"
Gen. Bliss proposed that the general
reserve be constituted as planned that
the British quota be called for, and that
meeting of the Supreme Council be
called ito pass upon the validity OF any
protest made against the proposed COM
position OF the general reserve
Rut these measures to bring Gen.
Haig to time seemed too strong, and the
matter was left for the regular meeting
OF the Supreme War Council scheduled
for March IA in London. At this meeting
Mr. Lloyd George wavered. II have
come to the conclusion he said. "in
against us, that II would be very diff
cult for Field Marshal Haig to spare the
necessary reserves" Even NJ. Clemen-
ceau. though saying that there '.can be
no question Of abandoning the principle
OF the general reserve" thought that tho
threatened attack made 1t impossible to
withdraw divisions for the moment
Cen. Bliss comments. in part. as fol-
lows:
1.-The proposition OF the American rep
resentatlve, made to the Supreme War
Council on February .. that the de-!
ctsions of the executive committee
should be made by a majority vote, had
been rejected. Decisions, therefore, must
be unanimous II had been three to one
on the. proposition for British con-
tribution to the reserve. 1t was now
three to one on the Italian contribution.
Had it been all the world to one the
one vote was majority.
'"rhe great battle commenced on the
following morning. And now, because
there was no commander OF an allied
reserve there was to be a commander
In chief OF the allied armies. And, after
all, the supreme necessity for an allied
commander in chief was to enable him
to create and handle reserves at his
will
Even then he did not come until the
black spectre OF irretrievable ruin was
broodIng over the battlefield. BY the
26th Of March the situation had become
gravely critical. The Germans had ex-
pected, about this date. to inflict the
final blow. They were opening breach
between the two armies, the very thing
that Gen. Foch's plan for the allied re-
serve-had he been permitted to or
ganize II and prepare II In time for
orderly movement-was intended to
prevent 1t began to appear that British
troops might have to be withdrawn on n
line that would have completed the
separation Of the armies. The way was
almost opened for an advance on Paris

A Child Labor Amendment.

The country will be solidly behind
Senator LODGES resolution providing
for the submission of a constitu-
tional amendment empowering Con-
gress to regulate and prohibit child
labor. Many of the States already
have made ample provision to pro-
tect their youth both from labor that
is too exacting for their tender years
and from other work and from work.
ing conditions that are not suitable to
them from the point Of view of Amer
ican aims and ideals. Some Of them
have done this better than Congress
ever has sought to do 1t, better, per-
haps, than Congress ever may do it.
But there are States that ignore
American sentiment In this matter
and defy the child labor standards
observed by the greater part of the
population of the country. In such
communities the American people
have demanded that the national
Government do what the State Gov
ernments refuse or fail to do. Con-
gress has tried to meet the situation
with roundabout and faulty legisla-
ton which has not been able to stand
the Supreme Court test.
Congress has not been to blame
for this miscarriage, because 1t was
trying the impossible under Its con-
stitutional limitations. The Judges
have not been unsympathetic or in
different; they simply have been
compelled to deliver their opinions in
accordance with the fundamental law
as it now bears upon the situation.
But as THE New York HERALD has
maintained aud as President HAIR
DING said to Congress in his message
last week, the safeguarding Of child
hood from injurious and unwhole-
some labor is national issue In
which American sentiment will not
be denied.
The American people are respon-
sible for their Federal Constitution.
When that instrument does not ex-
press their will and does not permit
the-fulfillment Of their purpose in re-
spect of child labor there Is only one
just and sensible thing for Congress
to do in the matter. That Is to give
the American people the earliest pos
sible opportunity to change the Con-
stitution so as to clear the legal path
to what they wish and what they
mean to have.
This preliminary work Of amend
ment now begins in Congress; it will
be finished by the nation.

Mime. Breshkovsky's Schools.
Alice Stone Blackwell Asks Help for
Orphans In Russian Carpathia.

To THE NEW YoRK HERALD: A bright
spot In the darkness of Europe has been
the group Of boarding schools for poor
children organized by Catherine Breeh-
kovsiy, 'the Little Grandmother of the
Russian Revolution
When the BolshevilSi seized the Gov
ernment she escaped from Russia and
after various vicissitudes visited the
United States. where she made many
friends. Being unable to return to Rus
sia she went to Russian Carpathia, now
part OF the Czecho-Slovak Republic,
and devoted herself to helping the or
phans there.
The people of that region are OF Rus
sian stock. very poor and ignorant, but
eager TO learn. She says they are ad-
mirably endowed by nature. both physi-
cally and mentally. With, means given
by American friends she started schools
where several hundred poor children
are fed, clothed and educated. They
are trained to become artisans, teach
ers, &c, besides being taught TO be good
citizens.
The excellence Of the work done in
these schools has commended them to
all who have visited them, and they
have been aided by Hoovers organiza-
ton and by the American Junior Red
Cross. But now. with the withdrawal
OF these societies from Czecho-Slovakia.
Nine. Breshkovsky is left dependent
upon her own exertions to raise money
for her schools. 1t is hard struggle
and her health is breaking under the
strain. She writes to me
I'VE never feel sure OF tomorrow. 1t
Is hard to have to rely only upon YOUR
cwn energy All the missions. such as
the Y. NJ. 6. A.. the Methodist. &C.. are
SO well organized and supplied that their
members are sure they will encounter
no unexpected changes. With US It is
quite different. 1t is constant strug-
gle. But we never turn back. We
search and find new means; we wait
somewhat and then continue"
These schools are doing a.. beautiful
and much needed work. They are the
apple of Nine. Breshkovsky's eye. They
are so straitened for funds that some
OF the pupils have to sleep three In q
bed. Will not Catherine Breshkovsky's
American friends give her happy
Christmas by sending a shower OF con-
tributions for her schools? Nothing
could bring her so much joy.
She asks that the money be sent TO
