CARE OF FRENCH WAR ORPHAN
Argonne Associations Plan May Be
Used for Unfortunates in
United States.

, plan for the care and training of
French war orphans. worked out by
the Argonne association, an organiza-
ton formed as a permanent memorial
10 the Americans who fought in
France, is said to be functionng so
satisfactorily that a similar organiza-
ton may be formed for the care of
orphans in the United States.
The Argonne association was formed
m 1918 by a group of Americans in
terested in French orphans. 1t has as
its motto: ITO provide for the child
who has no parents. a home and a
family life; to secure him his birth
right of health; to educate him and
train him to earn a livelihood; to de-
velop his character that he may be-
come a useful and an upright citizen
and to do these things so well and so
economically that others shall follow
this examples the aim of the Ar
come association"
The orphans cared for under the as
! sOciation's plan are placed in private
/ homes in a community where they are
really wanted. They are not Harmed
out" There is a community school
playground and vocational training
center where the children are daily
brought together to get their mental
and physical development. There are
three such centers In France where
the orphans are given three distinct
stages of training.

Auditing Exchange Accounts

In establishing it's own bureau of
auditing and accounting the Con-
solidated Stock Exchange is mani
Testing the same desire to safeguard
the interests Of investors that the
New York Stock Exchange showed in
its new policy of demanding periodic
statements from member firms.
Zone Of the functions Of the bureau"
the president of the Consolidated
explains, will be a thorough exam
nation of the daily clearance sheets
which every member is compelled to
put through the Clearing House" so
that in case of irregularities prompt
action may be taken.
The number of failures in recent
months of brokerage houses doing a
large volume of business has shown
only too clearly the need of some
check. In the case of the New York
Stock Exchange it is hoped that the
policy inaugurated by Seymour L.
Cromwell viii permit of sufficient
supervision TO prevent recklessness.
In the new policy of the Consolidated
Exchange the same purpose is evil
dent. In case Of need the governors
of the exchange may cause the books
of a member to be examined. A
closer check than has been possible
heretofore in any of the exchanges
is expected by the president of the
exchange to result from this new
system.
A mere examination of books is
not in itself complete check upon
irregularities. But the very fact
that in those failures which have
been prosecuted by the state des-
perate efforts have been made to
keep the books from the eyes of the
law shows that vigilant supervision
may well check certain irregularities.
1t is true that control by the ex-
change itself may not have the ad-
vantages of piti1ess publicity. But
ne one cares TO risk having mistakes

A Sure Way to Lose

If the railway shop workers now
on strike wish complete defeat they
can achieve it quickly by countenanc-
ing such sabotage as has occurred on
the Long Island Railroad.
A sure way to lose strike is by
violence and sabotage. The public
will make any sacrifice, even to
getting on temporarily without rail-
roads, rather than consent to the
wanton destruction of property and
the ruthless risk of life and limb.
Sabotage is prejudicial to the
strikers, and when it occurs is likely
to react whence it proceeds. 1t is
not enough for the strike leaders
to avoid personal participation.
They need to join diligently in the
search for the culprits who loosened
brake shoes and help bring them
to condign punishment.
The people are long suffering in
the case of strikes, and always open
minded. But they will not tolerate
crime, or the endangering of life or
the willful destruction of property.

The Twelve-Mile Limit

1he government SEIZURE outside
the twelve-mile limit of an alleged
rum runner will provide a test case
whose decision will determine long
mooted international law question.
The United States has always up
held the rule that territorial waters
extend only to the three-mile limit.
But, like the British government, it
has also claimed that its revenue
officers may board vessels bound for
the United States within twelve
miles of the coast. Richard Henry
Dana jr., in his edition of
|, "Wheaton's International Law"
states, with reference to this hover
ing act, that the right to make seiz-
ures beyond the three-mile limit has
not been insisted upon against the
remonstrance Of foreign states" and
that no clear and unequivocal judi
cial precedent now stands sustain
ing such seizures when~the question
of jurisdiction has been presented.
He explains that ''the statute does
not authorize the seizure of a for
eign vessel when beyond the terri
torial jurisdiction. The statute may
well be construed to mean only that
foreign vessel, coming to an Amer
lean port, and there seized for a
violation of revenue regulations COM
mitted out Of the jurisdiction Of the
United States, may be confscated:
but that to complete the forfeiture
1t is essential that the vessel shall be
bound to and shall come within the
territory of the United States after
the prohibited act"
The general principle upon which
the American government claimed
this twelve-mile limit for revenue
purposes, while insisting on the
three-nnile limit as the boundary of
national jurisdiction, is best summed
up by William Evarts, Secretary of
State under President Hayes, who
claimed that under nations iuris-
dlction over its commerce 'is easily

Strainiag at the Leash

Not for ten years has the build
ing industry been so eager and so
ready for prosperity as it is to-day.
Despite the restraints imposed by
the two great strikes, by shortage
of labor and persistent effort to
keep material prices up, building
activity is unprecedented.
Capital is ready in abundance to
embark in it and take chances. The
house shortage due to the war is still
acute. Shelterless people demand
homes, and industries are eager to
meet the demand.
The country's June building plan
filings show an increase of 236 per
CENT over last year and q gain of
100 per cent over the nine-year aver
age for the same month. The gain
over May Of this year is PIG per
cent.
Despite the talk Of non-employ-
ment sufficient labor is not to be
had, and materials are rising in
price. Hudson River brick are held
SO high that Florida brickmakers
offer their product delivered in New
York at the same figure. Cement
manufacturers on August I sent
prices up 20 cents a barrel. The
cost of white pine, cypress and all
other material is on the same levels
as the cost of brick and cement.
Were building materials reasonably
priced New York and every Eastern
city would now be enjoying a veri-
table building boom.
In contempt of the revelations of
the Lockwood committee and the
legislation that resulted from them,
combinations have been formed, and
contractors fear they will be out of
pocket at the conclusion of their
work.
With prosperity ready to leap
forward, it is held back by the leash
Of labor and material conditions. 1t
is high time to lift from industry
the burdens greed and harmful indus
trial conflicts are laying on it. Men
Of enterprise commanding capital
are ready to go to work. Prosperity
knocks at the door Is it to be de-
MED entry?

The New Appeal

President Harding, refusing to be
discouraged, yesterday addressed
this appeal to both parties TO the
railway shipments strike:
mindful of the pledge of both the
executives and the striking workmen
TO recognize the validity of all de-
cisions by the Railroad Labor Board,
am hereby calling on the striking
workmen to return to work and calling
upon the carriers to assign them to
work, and calling upon both workmen
and carriers under the law to take the
question in dispute to the Railroad
Labor Board for hearing and decision,
and compliance by both with the
decision rendered"
The striking shopnen having
agreed to accept the IL per cent cut
in wages and both the striking shop
men and the railroad executives
having agreed to abide by the de-
cisions of the Labor Board, the Pres
ident proposes that the Labor Board
shall pass on the undecided ques-
tion Of what seniority or preference
rules shall be applied.
In their answer of August l the
railroad executives, justifying their
refusal to adopt IN toto the Presi-
dents recommendation, remarked;
"The board the Labor Board it
self prescribed the rules of seniority
under which the men referred to the
new employees have secured their
seniority rights"
On this implied acknowledgment of
the Labor Boards jurisdiction over
shop rules, taken together with the
general offer of the railroad execa-
tives to obey the Labor Board, the
President doubtless bases his hope
that the railroad executives will now
see their way to yield to his present
urgent appeal.
The striking shopmen, although
concedIng the wage cut, and, like the
railroads, pledging themselves to
obey the Labor Board, did not spe-
cifcally state they included shop
rules in their acceptance, but such
inclusion, it may be said, is implied.
Moreover, it is probable before
bringing out a new proposal the
President received some sort of as
surance it would not be turned down
by the striking shopmen.
The dividing issue has become a
narrow one. In the mean time, not
only because of the railway strikes
direct effect, but because of its bear
ing on the coal strike and the grow
ing need for coal for industrial use
and for household warmth this win
ter, the public is highly DESTROYS of
a settlement.
