Letters to the Tribune's Editor

Twain in South Africa
Unique Copy Of "Innocents
Abroad" Twice Autographed

To the Editor Of The Tribune.
Sir: Mark Twain in his preface to
the first edition Of 'Innocents
Abroad" mentions that in that book
are inserted portions OF several let
tiers written for The New York Trib-
une."
As write ] have before me prob
ably the only copy extant Of the origi-
nal edition "Ianocents Abroad" pub
lished in 1869 by the American Pub
fishing Company, Hartford, Conn, FOR
private subscription. It may interest
Americans to know that this volume
$50 pages with 234 woodcut illustra-
tions--has found home In sunny
South Africa for f!fty-one years.
But it will interest lovers Of the
wonderful American humorist still
more to learn how this volume came
to survive in the backwoods Of South
Africa. At the time of its publicat ion
Mark Twain gave this book to a per-
sonal friend-Mr. J. H. Rilcy-who
was a fellow scribe, and he (Twain)
wrote on the fly leaf: Presented to
J. n. R., from Mark Twain"
About then Mark Twain had evident
ly published-!n some paper not now
known to the writer-an article OF
about 1,4oo words, headed:
MEMORANDA
By Mark Twain
Riley-Newspaper Correspondent
which opens with the sentence:
Zone Of the best men in Washington
t~or elsewhere-!s Riley, correspondent.
of great San Francisco dail!es."
This article was cut out Of the pape,
It was published in and pasted into the
volume now before me either by Twain
before presenting tho volume 60 Riley
or by Riley after receiving it. Fo,
there IL Is to-day.
Shortly after this Riley came out tc
the South African diamond fields (now
Kimberley, and on leaving there ir

to Mr.. Alfred Webb, a we'll known
South African journalist and the iathe,
Of the writer.
Mr.. Webb kept the book, and In 1896
Mark Twain visited South Africa ir
the course Of worlds lecturing tour
During his stay in East London the
writer took the book to him at thu
Beach Hotel. He was greatly interest
ed in it, and volunteered to again put
his name in it, which he did, as fol
lows:

This is to indicate that God Is above
country, and from it lesson may
be drawn by those who believe in
Decatur's "My country, right or
wrong"
The American Legion weekly's page
on How to Treat the American Flag"
is incorrect as regards the grouping Of
our flag with those of other nations,
when it says: always place the (our)
national colors at the onlooker's right"
The "onlooker" is in no wise to be con-
sidered. When the flags on their stats
are so grouped there is an invisible
host present, and his position is in the
center at the top. In the position of
honor, his immediate right, he places
the American flag, while in the next
| position Of honor, his immediate left
! he places the flag of our sister republic
+ France. In so many cases you see the
United States flag at the extreme, or
lower, right hand Of tho group, which
is not correct.
AS to whether the field Of blue
should be at the right or left when the
flag is hung vertically, one should first
realize that tho flag represents an in
visible presence, the spirit Of all the
flag can possibly typify. The flag, when
not on its staff and used as banner, is
supposed to be on the breast of the
spirit, the field of blue, the point of
honor of the flag, being at the right of
that spirit body invisible but none the
less there, and corresponding to the
right arm or sword arm, mute co
challenge to all who would seek to de-
stroy the liberty and freedom of any
who have taken allegiance under its
colors.
It is fundamental that the position
Of honor is the heraldic and military
right In heraldry the devices are
always described as if they were being
worn on the breast of the describer-
the heraldio dexter being the side
toward the wearer's right, the same
as the military right is on the march
er's right. The directions as they ap-
pear to the observer are never used
except to better explain the position
| in question to the uDinitiated. 1t is
this principle of the heraldic and mill
tary right that has determined the
proper place for the field of blue in
our flag to always be in the upper
(heraldic and military right corner,
regardless of whether the flag is hung
vertically or horizontally.
One of Mr.. Briggs's critics accepted
the above when the flag was hung
horizontally, but said at follows as
matter of course that the logical thing
to do when the flag is hung vertically
is to simply tip it over"-the extreme
of inconsistency Another critic gives
as common sense" reason the fact
that the flag has a hem, and therefore
should never be shown back -side front
thus putting the material things
above the spiritual
AS :" your correspondent, who "put
in twelve years in military service"
and believes he knows "the correct
way of putting up flag" let me say
for his solace that the Adjutant Gen
eral Of one of the Middle Western
States did not know that the flag
should never remain at half-mast after
noon.
1t is only necessary to mention the
views of many Of the critics to realize
the lamentable ignorance which exists

DUBLIN, Nov. 23.-The hunger

similar tactics by Irish political fig

NEW RECORD BY
AGRICULTURE IN
LAND AGQLNALDO
High Water Mark Reached in
Acreage of Six Leading
Crops of Island

MANILA, Nov. 22-The high
water mark was reached in Phil
.ippine agriculture in the year
1921 insofar as the area planted
to the six leading crops is con
cerned, according to the annual
report of the bureau of agricult,
lure. In that year 8,788,967 acres
was cultivated, compared with s.
'lo2.355 acres in 1920.
Notwithstanding the increase
in acreage the year was one OF
general dissatisfaction from a fl
financial standpoint, the report
says.
Because of the record prices
prevailing during 1919 and 1926
the cultivation of edible crops
especially rice and sugar, was
| igreatly extended, The area thai
Twas planted to rice i'll 1921 wa'

IN FREIGHT RATES

Reductions In freight rates on all
commodities now moving under class
rates from San Francisco and Sacra-

Nevada, as well as locally within Ne.
yada, ranging as high as fifty per
cent and averaging about twenty-five
per cent will become effective Sat
urday on intrastate shipments and
December 81 on interstate move
ments, It was announced yesterday
by the Southern Pacific Company
The new rates, which are voluntary
on the part OF the Southern Pacific
and made after consultation with
shippers organizations and public
service commissions of the states
concerned, will effect a complete re
vision of rates now IN effect in that
region from the top OF the Sierra
Nevadas eastward to western Utah
They will also iron out the present
wide blanket OF class rates from Sac
ramento into Nevada as well as
establish relatively the same scale of
rates to Southern Pacific branch-llne
points in Nevada as applies to main
line points, however, observing the
principle followed in California Of
somewhat higher rates for branch
line hauls than for mainline hauls
