Henry Ford's Coal Views.

HENRY FoRp, the automobile genius,
may know a good deal about the gen.
eral aspects of the coal business or he
may not. His experience OF shutting
down his plants because OF lack OF
fuel at reasonable price may have
taught him how to get offers OF coal
or may have taught coal producers
the wisdom OF Offering 1t to him. He
burns many train loads OF coal and
naturally would take an interest In
that feature OF his manufacturing
industry.
But when Mr.. Ford says, as quoted
in the news dispatches, that there Is a
vast surplus Of mined and stored coal
in the country-"enough coal above
ground to run the country for long
t:me"-he is under misapprehension.
Neither in the hands Of consumers
nor in the hands OF middlemen and
producers is there at present any
where nearly enough coal to go
around. This is particularly true OF
hard coal, and this is not question
OF opinion, 1t is question OF fact.
based on mine records, railroad ship
ping records and Government statis-
tics.
The coal that Mr.. FORD thinks was
hidden away by profiteering brokers
and other middlemen to force high
prices and "gouge the people" is not
where he thinks it is, for the simple
reason that it never has come out Of
the ground.
Nevertheless, when Mr.. FORD ad-
vises the public ito buy only enough
coal now to get along on. for they
will have an opportunity later to get
their winters supply much more
cheaply," he gives the consumers. big
and little, good counsel. That Is the
very way to create the coal stocks
that do not now exist, although Mr..
FORD mistakenly thinks and mac
curately says they do exist.
II everybody will burn as little coal
as possible. especially anthracite. for
an long a time as possible the coun-
try can get through the winter with
out fuel famine or without even a
tight pinch for fuel. But unless the
scant supply of to-day is carefully
husbanded everywhere for the next
several weeks. the vast coal surplus
which Mr.. FoRD's imagination pic
lures will be found to be woefully
lacking. and many persons will be
living in cold houses.

GOV. BROWN UPHELD IN
USING TROOPS IN STRIKE
NeW Hampshire Republicans
Adopt Platform.

Special Dispatch to TIE NEW York HERALD.
CONCORD, n. H.. Sept. 26.--The plat
form adopted at the Republican State
convention here to-day commends Gov.
Albert Q. Brown for calling out State
troops to maintain order in Concord
after outbreaks in the railroad strike.
The delegates accepted the committee
draft of the platform, which also in
dorses Senator Moses's Federal forty
eight hour bill. declaring that the rules
OF competition forbade adoption of
short work >week when other textile
manufacturing States had a longer week.
The platform accepts the prohibition
amendment as final and voices dsap-
proval Of any beer and light wine legls-
lation in the State.
No reference was made to the soldiers
bonus. every member OF New IIamp-
shire's delegation at Washington hav-
Ing voted against the bonus bill.
Senator Moses had a seat on the plat
form. but he was not called upon to
speak. the only addresses being by
Judge Chester b. Jordan, presiding Off
GER; Windsor II. Goodnow, candidate
for Governor: John s. Cannon. Con-
jgressional candidate in the First Dis
trict. and Theodore G. Risley OF Illi-
nois, who spoke in place Of Senator

complaining soldiers who fought
often without arms and always with
insufficient clothing and supplies.
KEMAL knew his ground when he
chose it as the seat of his Turkish
National State. Nowhere else would
the feeble first growth Of nationalism
have thriven and brought forth fruit.
He had no wild Kurd rebel to assimi-
late and no Arabian hereditary rivalry
to appease and reconcile. But he got
the best that the tribesmen Of kurdis-
tan and the Arabs OF Mesopotamia,
Hejaz and the Yemen could give him
the support Of Islam.
Europe faces not the old Ottoman
Empire, to which none Of its parts
owed allegiance or fealty, but Turk
ish Nationalist State--the first that
modern history ever knew. The Turk
ish army is not the i'll equipped,
badly supplied horde that was driven
into battle in the Balkan wars, but an
army flushed with success and eager
for spoils. Herein lies much of the
Turks assurance, for he is soldier
but not a governor. The condition
of the Balkan States, when he was
ousted from them, is evidence of his
miserable misrule and lack of admin
istrative ability. 1t is as true to-day
as ever it was that where the hoof OF
the Turks horse strikes the grass
never grows. His new Nationalist
State has the same old prop that the
Ottoman Empire had, the unchang-
ing, the unspeakable Turk.

many productive fields vital both to

not hesitate to demand, they insisted

increases based upon the heavy de-
mand for and the falling supply OF
labor.
The Government could and did
draft men TO fight at the front on the
terms of the Government. The Gov

Eastern Invaders OF the p. r.

For negro to win the heavyweight
boxing championship Of Europe, as
did the Senegalese Battling SIKH when
he beat CARPENTER last Sunday, Is
not a novelty. PETER JACKSON, the
West Indian negro who went to Lon
don with the Australian title, wrested
the championship OF England and the
Continent from FRANK SLAvIN when
he knocked him out in ten rounds in
1892. England wept for the fistic
glories Of JEM MACE then, and, as 1t
sees a Senegalese rise in the place
once held by JACKSON, it still must
weep. But the day of Merrie Eng
land, now that CARPENTER has been
eliminated, may be close at hand.
Not that it has a chance to sweep
JACK DEMPSEY aside. but the Euro
pean laurels may return to a wearvp
OF the Union Jack.
With Filipino-PANcHo VILLA
winning the American fiyweight title,
a Senegalese negro taking the
European championship and another
heavyweight of color, HARRY WILLS,
challenging DEMPSEY, the situation In
the roped arena Is In marked con-
trast to that Of some twenty years
ago. Then the suggestion that Fill
pino some day would win an Ameri-
can boxing title would have been
greeted with hilarity. A prediction
that Frenchman would win the
championship OF Europe and then
lose it to a negro from Senegal would
have put the prophet under mental
observation.
SKI, from all accounts, is the old
fashioned type OF ring champion.
There were free drinks wherever he
went Sunday night and Monday.
There was nothing exclusive and al
together commercial about him. The
day after the fight did not find him
at q bank depositing his winnings.
He shared his triumph with the pop
ulaceA-a black John l.. Sullivan. This
sort OF life may make Skis reign
short, but none Of the Berserkers or
old cared for the morrow.

Forest Fires and Fish.
Ashes Change the Slightly Acid
Condition OF Trout Streams.
Fron, thc Eishcric Ser,,icn RulL

From, the Fisheries Service Bulletin
Every one Is more OF less familiar
with the loss of valuable timber sus-
tained each year from forest fires, but
there are other serious losses of yaIu-
able natural resources from this cause
that have received but comparatively
little attention. We refer to the wild
life Of the woods and streams, and par
ticularly to the game and food fishes
Based on monetary valuation the loss
Of wild life from forest fires may appear
insignificant compared with the loss, OF
timber, but when we consider that the
United States Forest Service estimates
that some 6,ooo.o people annually visit
our national forests, many or most OF
them interested In the fish and game,
we become aware to some extent Of the
Importance OF the wild life OF our for
ests. Any game and fish commission or
conservation commission will be able to
vouch for the real value of good fishing
to a community.
In line with the growing tendency to
place large portion OF the responsibility
of conserving our natural resources on
those who reap the greatest benefits
therefrom. il seems proper to invite the
attention Of those persons who find
pleasure and healthful recreation in fish
ing in the waters of our forests to the
destructive effects OF forest fires on the
fish, There is dcplorablc lack of re-
liable information and very few recorded
observations on the subject. A few of
the most immediate effects detrimental
to fish life that may be expected to fol-
low forest fires are sudden rise in the
temperature of the water. lowering OF
Its oxygen content, change in its chem
icaI properties and destruction OF shade.
The slightly acid condition natural to
most forest streams, and recognized as
suitable for trout. is changed to alkaline
from the ash deposited therein. A large
amount of ash In the water may be ex-
pected to have a deleterious mechanical
effect on the fish aside from the chemical
changes.
These are but few of the more OBJ
vious and immediate results OF the fires,
and they take no cognizance of the
more far-reaching though not inmedi-
ately apparent effects that probably oc-
cur--the destruction of food. increased
turbidity, decreased protection against
floods and drought. &C. Reliable infor-
nation on the subject is meager. though
an appreciation OF the loss of Ash from
this cause and record OF intelligent OBJ
servations thereon are Of Importance.
1t will be appreciated II persons having
knowledge OF such occurrences will COM
municate IL to the Bureau OF Fisheries.

Arms for Defense.
Protection Against Burglars Given
by Pistol In the Home.

To THE NEW YonK HERALD: heart
lily commend your editorial article en-
titled "Police War on the Pistoi as
sane and we'll timed. The pistol is no
more responsible for crime than Is the
knife. the club or Nne ak, all Of which
are used by criminalA
: A number OF misleading arguments
favoring the vicious Sullivan law have
appeared lately. They have sought to
show that revolver in the home Is no
protection against burglars. Instances
were cited by George lie Brun of the
Bureau of Statistics OF householders
who were injured in attempting to de-
fend themselves when threatened py
burglars. and he also referred to nu-
merous accidents caused by revolvers IN
homes. Nothing is ever said In such
articles Of the deterring effect on crimi-
rails of a weapon in the home.
Formerly, with revolver in nearly
every home the most daring burglar
hesitated and was very cautious in maxi
ing forcibie entry, as there was always
the possibility OF drawing shot from
somebody inside defending the prem
ises. This was the important factor
and the real protection whici, the pistol
gave the householder. After the bur-
glar is once inside and has the drop on
his victims no weapon Is any protec-
ton or OF any use. All that, can be
done then is to yield and make the best
of a bad situation. Any other course
may end fatally.
No we'll informed person will advo-
cate promiscuous gun totins. Nobody
except officers enforcing the law and
messengers carrying valuables should be
licensed to carry firearms. Eut every
home and every financial institution, and
shop and warehouse where valuable
goods are handled or stored should be
privileged to have weapons Of defense
and without the necessity, annoyance
and expense of obtaining permits.
The Sullivan law could easily be
amended to provide for such a modifica-
ton. and when this is done there Will
be an immediate reduction in the rates
of burglar insurance, and we viii soon
return to former conditions when crime
waves were unknown.

New York's Settlement.
Governor Minuit and Colonists Came
on the Sea Gull In Ice.

To THE New York HERALD: The let
ter sent by George p. Lawton of Sara
toga Springs about New york's first set
tiers Is correct in the assertion that the
sailing vessel Nieu Nederiand arrived
at these shores in the spring of 1874 in
stead Of 1898. This vessel brought thirty
families to New Netherland which then
comprised all the territory on the At
Iantic coast situated between Canada
and Virginia.
This first colony was composed mostly
OF walloons. generic name given to
religious sect not from the country now
called Wailonia or Walioonland in Bel
gium, but from an old Germanic word
meaning stranger. servant or slave.
Lest however your readers be led to
think that this first colony established
New Amsterdam on Manhattan Island.
now the city OF New York. 1t must not
be forgotten that these thirty families
instead OF settling on Manhattan Island
proceeded up the river and founded Fort
Orange, now South Albany, as Mr.. Law
ton himself infers In his last paragraph.
Not until 1926 did n newly arrived
colony OF .Netherlandcrs establish them
selves permanently on Manhattan Island.
They came on the Sea Gull commanded
by Adriaen Joris and accompanied by
the new Governor Of New Netherland.
Peter Minuit, who shortly after his ar
rival bought the Island OF Manhattan
from the Indians for s24. Peter Minutt,
desiring to increase the colony brought
over by him on the Sea Gull, ordered
some OF the settlers of Fort Orange to
Join him in New Amsterdam. Whether
there were any walloons among them Is
not known. but it is probable there were.
The above facts are set forth at length
In an article by L. Wittert van Hoog-
land in the September number OF Hoi-
land and Her Colonies. 1t Is imperative
that the records OF these early events be
clearly set forth in view OF the errone-
Gus statements as to the correct date OF
New York's founding.

A murmurous melody that sobs and

Out of the past, Of half forgotten
things.
OF memories as bright as Is spray
OF goldenrod that torchlilSe lights the

Down winding lanes where crimson
woodbine clings
To some low rambling wall, or where
there springs
The purple aster In it's brave array.
Out OF the wind seem to hear your
voice
Your voice that calls across the drift
ing years
Which stretch between US; once
again / see
Your old glad smile that made my heart
rejoice;

You are become lifc's sweetest mel
ody.

Wood Ducks Coming Back.

The wood duck, the most beautiful
OF all the duck family, is increasing
in numbers as a result OF the protec-
tion given by the migratory bird
treaty act. The news will be well
coined by those naturalists who
warned the Department Of Agricul-
ture some years ago that this bird
would soon be extinct like the pas
senger pigeon unless prompt measures
were taken for its preservation.
The wood duck Is also known as
the summer duck, and unlike others
OF the duck family 1t nests In trees.

The drake is a gaudy fellow with so
many colors in his coat that he is the
Beau Brummell Of his kind, rivaling
the cock pheasant in the riot OF plu-
mage he displays as he flashes amid
the trees in the swamps in which he
makes his home.
Certain parts of Illinois and Mis-
souri, at one time afforded great sport
for hunters OF the wood duck. but the
bird is known and esteemed by gum
ners in every part OF the United
States.
