to London. "Poor Jawn l.. found it
So" as Mr.. Dooley feelingly re-
marked when informed of how his
friend had been punished by British
entertainment-o how he had taken
count of ten in furious battle
with John Barleycorn.
Those who cable news from the
other side are discreet There is no

prohibition principles which bcft an
American on his travels arc still
intact, let us hope.
But British beverages are potent

seduce the stoutcst virtue A Yam

All the members Of the Board Of
Estimate know that Governor Miller
is perfectly capable of using his
power of removal if he can find no
other way to end their continued OBJ
struction to his efforts to settle the
traction problem. The knowledge is
very chilling.
They also know, even if they do
not admit it, that he is right and
that they are wrong They know
that they have prevented the compile
ton of the Fourteenth Street tunnel,
as they have delayed new construc-
ton work, for no motive other than
that inspired by mean-spiritod and
petty politics.
They know that the cry of "home
rule is for political use only. After
five years of inaction they know also
that they lack the capacity or the
will to bring order out Of the trac-
tion tangle and have not the vaguest
idea Of how service can be improved
or the five-cent fare maintained
"Anybody," said Governor Miller
in his disturbing speech, can OBJ
struct. 1t requires brains to con-
struct.' But the limit of obstruction
has been reached, as he has more
than intimated
The force Of this intimation will
not be lost on Nh Hylan and his col
leagues. A far milder hint that au-
thOrity is for the purpose Of exercise
when necessary sent Police Commits
sioner Enright scurrying about his
long neglected duties
Demagogues seldom remain in the
wrong at the risk of their Jobs. Now
that the Governor has made it plain
to every citizen that the transit lines
are intolerably congested because the
city administration refuses TO permit
their extension, further appeals to
/ public prejudice will be futile
If the only choice left to the Board
/ of Estimate is to cease its obstruc-
tion or get out Of Office ii will cease
its obstruction Its members are per
fectly aware that the Governor has
the courage to back up his words.

The Normal Navy

The vote in the House on the
naval appropriation bill showed a
wholesome swing away from hys-
terra and toward moderation. The
movement to reduce the enlisted per
sonncl Of the navy to $1,000 had its
roots in the old pacifist hostility to
normal and adequate military pre-
paredness
We are not at war" it cried in
1913 and 1916. I'VE don't intend to
go to war, Why waste money or a
real army or a real navy? They
are provocatives of war, not an IN
surance against it,
We were dragged into the war by
the Germans, because they knew
that we were unprepared. We had
to pay dearly for the errors Of
paciism, But the chief offenders in
1915 and 1916 have learned nothing
They say now: I'VE are guaranteed
against naval war by treaty which
allots US a certain naval strength
Let us depend on the guaranty and
pay no attention to The naval ratio.
Let us skeletonizc our enlisted ratio
and allow our ships to run down.
taking no thought beyond the pres
ent naval holiday"
This frame of mind is as danger
Gus now aS it was before the war.
SiNty-scven thousand men next year.
$4,000 the year after, $4,000 some
other year. The pacifst desire to
wreck national defense is Unsuitable,
1t grows with what it feeds on. To
the pacitist mind an unarmed nation
is safe because it cannot make war.
But there is always some less dis
armed nation to be rcckoncd with.
1t may choose to make war, as Ger
many did. China is d model to the
pacifst mind. To other minds China
is a warning.
The United States needs an en-
listed personnel in keeping with the
capital ship ratio.

| was intimately acquainted with the

night. The room was long and narrow.
with door at one end Of ono of the
long sides and the cabinet in the cor
ner at the other end The wainscot
all round the room was hung with black
cloth. Madame Bennett smiiincly called
my attention to the door. which seemed
cutie norma until she showed me that
when securely locked and sealed it
could be opened without the slightest
noise by taking the architrave with it.
She then explained that after the cues IS

light on the shelf over the cabinet was
extinguished this door opened lust wide

faint light ready by which the spooks

A Keynesisrn

"Having got Russia here at
Genoa we tell her she must agree to
owe us $500 100000 or more. with a
hint that the figures may be reduced
by bargaining to about 81 100000. 600
And that apparently is all. Why
should Tchitoherin accept this LA
biiity without any tangible induce
mcnt or the other side? And if he
did, what would happen to him when
he got home John Maynard
Keynes
1t apparently is inconscqucntial
to Keynes that Russia owes the
money-that the debt represents in
its greater part the hard-earned saw
ings of French peasants, in good
faith invested in Russian railways,
municipal works and factories long
before the war
Keynes would legalizc the rob-
berry of those who trusted Russia
with their treasure. He is tender
Of the Bolshevists, but his heart is
stony toward their victims. He de
fends fragrant confiscatjon and re

Lady Astor's Message

Lady Astor's shining example is
As much an inspiration to American
women as are her charming personal
ity and convincing speech, She has
accomplished what no other woman
ever accomplished before, the break
ing down of an agc-long prejudice
against granting women seats in
Parliament. This she did without
smashing any windows or going on
any hunger strikes. Her only weapon
was her intelligence
American women need the message
that Lady Astor brings to them. Too
many of them have succumbed to the
temptation to sit back and sigh
"Woll, that's that" after the strenu-
Gus campaign that won them the
vote. Too many Of them, now they
have it, don't know what to do with it.
The only woman member of the
British House of Commons may be
oVeroptimistic when she tells women
that they can end wars, but they Ger
tainly can help to end wars if they
follow her advice and take an active
part in politics No one will dispute
her assertion that their influence can
make itself felt and that it will be
am influence for good.

A Familiar Odor

Our neighboY The World echo
ing the utterances of the "Staats-
1eitung" and The Call" holds if
the Russo-German compact is an
evil thing that it is the Allies who
forced" Russia and Germany to
make it,
That's it, The dreadful truth at
last is out! Wirth and Tchitcherin
were coerced. They were driven into
corner and compelled to sign.
Wicked Poincare and wicked Lloyd
George pushed a pen into their un-
willing fingers.
This defense provokes reminis-
cence. 1t recalls the days when the
Kaiser, grievcd to learn it was be
lieved he had started the war, put
his hand on his heart and swore
on the faith Of Hohenzolern that
the war was forced on him.
The refurbishment and repetition
Of the falsehood by which the Kaiser
supported his claim of innocence ex-
press a tendency which has been
widely noted Why is it that on
practically every issue which has
arisen since hostiIities ended certain
elements in this country invariably
have supported the anti-Ally side of
the contention? Is there regret that
Germany lost?
1t cannot be that she always IS
right, The law of averages is
against this. Yet as to practically
an questions, whether Of boundaries
or Of rcparations clearly pledged by
The fourteen points and confirmed
ny express provisions Of the Yer
sailles Treaty, Germany and Russia
have been pictured as innocent lambs
surrounded by ravening wolves.
Is it the smell Of the oldtime Ger
man propaganda that smites our
nosuils? To many it seems so. The
odor is surely suspiciously familiar
Peace, We are told, hath her vic
tories 40 less renown'd than war"
To this IS now to be added. "and de-
feat hath her victories more re-
uowuod than peace"

The Spirit Mysteries

10 the Editor of The Tribune.
Sir: Among the many explanations
offered to account for the undoubted
sincerity of Conan Doyle in his belief
in all sorts Of spiritualistic phenom-
ena, the only plausible one seems to
be that he has been duped by un-
scrupulous persons who arc in tho me-
dium business for things other than
their health. But Conan Doyle is nc
fool.
Locke says the difference between a
fool and madman is that one comes
to wrong conclusions from right prem
ises, while the other draws the cor
rect differences from premises that are
false
The error into which the creator of
Sherlock Holmes falls is in attrbutng
the communications he receives from
the hands of undoubtedly disintcrcstcd cd
mediums as being messages from the
dead, whereas they are from the liv-
ing who knew the dead. and never from
the dead themselves.
The unimportant and often silly
character Of these spiritualistic com
munications is we'll known. No mes
sage ever came from a so-called dc
parted spirit that contained any in
formation which was unknown to 9th
ers who were still living, somewhere
or other. The ways of the subconscious
mind, whether it speaks through me
dium or ouija board, arc one Of the
mysteries that arc still unfathomed
but no dead person ever spoke through
either.
When we come to the other aspect of
spiritualism, the naturalization of de
parted persons. we get to the domain
of pure fake I have had the pleasure
of knowing many of these takers and
have been no less astonished at their
