From the first new Germany has
been a sore disappointment to the
extremists. The communistic gov
ernment set up with so much display
in Bavaria was a short lived affair.
Bavarian conservatism soon recov-
cred itself and sent the foreign dis
ciples OF radicalism scurrying from
the country. The Spartacus movement,
which seemed at one moment to have
Berlin and all the industrial centers
of north Germany in its grasp, came
to an end when the German Govern
ment really got into action.
At one time communist leader
remarked: Germany is not yet
ready for communist government.
But wait" Germany has waited;
and communism has less hope to-day
than it had then.

Bristol Lieutenant Tabor, who was
picked up, died on the way to shore.
OF the bodies recovered on that day
only those of Colonel Ferrier. r. f., and

DAME BUTT, CONTRALTO, SINGS.
Appears With Her Husband, Ken
nerIy Rumford, Barytonc.

Dame Clara Butt English contralto.
and her husband, Kennerly Rumford,
barytone, gave a concert last night in
the Hippo drome. 1t was the first ap-
pearance here of the two singers since
1914. During this interim they have
devoted much of their time to war work
and have given many concerts for
wounded soldiers
In recognition OF her war work and
artistic achievements Clara Butt has
had the title of Dame of the British
Empire bestowed upon her recently by
King George. The two artists gave an
interesting progrnm last night. Dame
Butt sang Beethovens songs. I'm
ouesta Tomba" and Creations
Hymn" and selections from Gluck,
Haydn and Goodheart. In closing she
gave Germain's setting of Kipling's
poem Have You News of My Boy
Jack?"
Mr.. Rumford sang English songs by
Williams, Davies Ireland and Sharp and
Farrar's lyric, Brittany" M. Meka
q Polish violinist, played several solos
and Miss Grace Torrens was at the
piano.
Dame Butt was very warmly re-
ceived when she first appeared upon
the stage, as also was Mr.. Rumford
The work of both singers was literally
applauded. The audience included the
British Consul and his staff.

Some Rapid Transit Sense.

There wasn't any sense in Mayor
HYLAN's bluster about bringing legal
action to seize the subway roads and
operate them in behalf of the city.
The power to take over the roads does
not lie in the Mayors hands; it is
vested in the Transit Commission.
If the commission did take over the
roads the commission, under the law,
would operate them. And 1t would not
operate them in behalf of the Ihunic.
ipal corporation; it would operate
them in accordance with the law in
behalf of the transit roads IL they
were solvent, and, If they were in
bankruptcy, in behalf of the bond
holders of the roads.
Furthermore, the roads would not
be operated in any event at more
than a five cent fare. The amend
ment to the transit act just signed
by Governor MILLER has settled that
question.
III IObtIdoC Will buC AhdJOl IL
tile seizure order to his Corporation
Counsel, there is sense, good, hard
sense, in Mr.. HEpLEY's promise to
buy and operate $50 more cars If
the city would do its part in provid-
ing storage yards for them and IL
a lower rental than is now paid by
the Interborough for the elevated
system could be arranged.
The city needs more and better
service, the Transit Commission in
sists upon more and better service,
and the Interborough management in
response to the commissions COM
mands must give more and better
service, or the commission can take
the most drastic steps to enforce the
giving Of more and better service.
Along such lines as these, and not
along the lines of the Mayors non
sense, there is chance for the long
suffering public of New York to have
some of its rapid transit miseries
relieved. Fl

Bread Line Men.
Lack OF Work, Not Choice, Leads
Most of Them to Seek Aid.

To THE New YORK HERALD: Every
once in so often there crops UP either
a city official or some irresponsible who
asserts that bread lines make for mem
delaney and encourage laziness.
We thought that our experience. given
10 the public time and again. had effectu-
ally shown the fallacy of such state
ments. and we consider our forty-two
years service in this work makes for
knowledge and good jud gment.
Prior to and Including the winter of
1914-15---the first year of the war
unemployment was as bad as now our
bread line averaged 1000 men a night
During 1915 business improved amaz-
ingly. and so during the next winter,
1gi5-fs1s, the attendance at our bread
lire. through no effort on our part, fel!
automatically to eishty-five men a night
IA reduction of more than 90 per cent.
The men had a chance and took 1t.
Let me cite two recent incidents. One
night the Street Cleaning Department
called for men I'm our bread line. and
we found seventy-1ve men present. sixty
OF whom immed lately volunteered
Again. at the time OF the snowfall OF
March 2, the street Cleaning Depart
merit called for men. and Of the forty
two present thirty-two accepted the jobs.
Tho men had a chance to work and
they took 1t.
To men lily fed and clothed It smacks
OF the heroic to work all night in the
snow and rain, especially IL ones shoes
are broken.
During the winter we supplied the
street Cleaning Department with all the
men they asked us to furnish. viz. /:
December 20. 1877; January II. 225 ;
January 12. 3e: January IL. 32: jan
uary 2s, 252: January 80. 199; February
12, 105 February 15. 21s; February
30. 30 March 2. 80; March 4. so. In
al. we supplied laos men.
The men had chance to work and
took t. We could have furnished hum
dreds more II called upon.
The men on the Bowery are not loaf
crs. They are decent, law abiding ctis
gems, anxious to work at anything, and
they patronlze bread lines only through
dire necessity.
We hope this will convince the gen.
eral public, even IL 1t has no effect on a
small band OF critics who find fault and
do nothing constructive.

Blue Sky Laws.
In Utah Stock Sharks Still Pursue
the Unwary Investor.

To THE New YORK HERALD: You
are right in the stand you take regard
ing blue sky laws. according to my OBJ
servation and experience Out here In
Utah such legislation has simply run
amuck to the detriment OF new and
legitimate development enterprises.
State securities commission is usu-
ally made up of from one TO three poll
ticians. who entered politics because
they were unsuccessful in other lines.
But by virtue of their political offices
they now have autocratic power over
the destinies and finances of corpora
tions and traders In general. They as
sumo duties which can be handled prop
erly only by superfinancier.
They never do anything but hamper
business enterprise with their fussy
regulations, delays and red tape. They
make a lot of noise to impress the pub
lie with their Importance. but they catch
no thieves who would not readily be
caught in the ordinary course Of intelli-
gent police work
The blue sky law in this State has
not eliminated the stock shark and the
CRATER any more than the law prohibit
ing robbery has eliminated robbery.
But. on the other hand. it has been
ball and chain to legitimate corpora
tions and promoters. Nothing, In my
opinion, is as much to blame for the
inactivity of capital in this and other
Western States as legislation of this
sort. II. G. HANSON.

Ten Days in a Library.

hard. at this distance, to deny his
wisdom. But although library SEN
tence may be torture to the Omaha
culprits it would be hailed by thou
sands OF persons as blessing Tired
business men who have spent the
winter selling cotton prints would
delight in being confined where. day
after day, they could read the won
derful novels they hear their secre-
taries talking about. The man who
has no appetite for anything but de-
tective tales at the end OF his days
work could feed up on the Russian
so-called literature which he has
heard praised by the intelligentsia
The fellow who has lied for years
telling people that he has read "van-
ity Fair" and "Dombey and Son"
could really read them and clear
his conscience.
II would be an interesting expert
ment to take youth of the type
slangily known as "dumbbell" and in
carcerate him for ten days on diet

for a great sociological or penologi-
cal reform. Instead Of Five years

The Tree Of Calvary.

In days of old. within a wood
A Tree In branching splendor stood
Like all the others there IT seemed.
Nor OF special greatness dreamed.
It gave the forest ministry
or shelter. shade and beauty free,
And every year II brought to men
A hope that was betrayed again.
A sudden glory filled the place.
An angel stood with shining face
The same who unto Mary came
And hailed her In wondrous Name.
Not bud nor leaf" he told the Tree.
"shall be your chosen destiny.
But II shall be your lot to bring
To all mankind eternal Spring"
The angel vanished. After him
The great Tree saw the wood grow dim.
Grow dim and fade away until
Remained a thunder shaken hill.

Getting Into Northern Alberta.

To THE NEW YORK HERALD: In a
Western newspaper / noticed refer
ence TO an editorial article which ap-
peared in THE New YORK HERALD con-
cernlng the immense deposits OF tar
sands found along the Athabasca River
In northern Alberta. This made II ap-
pear that there was no railway trans
portation within one hundred miles OF
the deposits. The Alberta and Great
Waterways Railway is now completed
and in operation to within eleven miles
Of Fort McMurray and taps the great
tar sands area.
This railway Is owned and operated
by the Alberta Government and Is now
used by nearly all people going into the
hlnterland beyond McMurray. Those
going in to points along the Athabasca
south of McMurray travel by the old
fur trade route from Athabasca town,
using scows or other river craft for
transport. T.. A. B.

mine can never sell, other things
being equal, against the coal costing
half as much to dig.
When there is an adequate supply
Of the lower cost coal either one of
two things must happen at the mines
where the cost has been double that
OF the others. The cost of the dear
mine product must be lowered If the
owners are to sell coal and the work
ers are to dig coal, or the mines
must shut down. This latter thing
is exactly what has taken place in
hundreds of such coal mines, where
those dependent upon them for profits
and wages could not or would not
get the prohibitive costs down. Thou
sands of the workers have been
thrown out of employment, with no
chance for them to get work again
at mining coal on basis of such
excessive cost that it cannot sell.
II the union miners go into the
nationwide strike they have threat
ened for this week on their impos-
sible proposition that, no matter
what it costs to mine coal, it can sell
against cheaper cost coal and, no
matter how little fuel value a
miner may produce, he can hold his
employment on his own terms
against other miners who get out
better coal and on better terms,
then the union miners are going into
a strike to nullify the laws of eco
nomics as we'll as to inconvenience
and burden the American public.
On any such proposition as that the
union coal miners are not going to
get very far with their strike, and
they are not going to take long
while to find it out.

BY w. j. HENDERSON.

The Society OF the Friends of Music
brought its long and arduous season TO
an end yesterday afternoon. when 1t gave
its tenth concert in Town Hall. The
program was composed of three numbers
gathered from the treasury of the un-
familiar Mozart contributed his SYM
phony in c. No, 33S In the Koechel cata-
certo In D major for violin. flute.
clavier and strings. The last number
was Brahms's Song Of Fate" for chorus
and orchestra.
The Mozart symphony enjoys mach
rest and retirement, and II emerged yes
terday fresh and buoyant in spirit and
easily able TO uplift the spirits of the
auditors. 1t might have been performed
with greater lucidity and more elegance
of style.
The Bach work called into service
Harold Bauer as the pianist. In the first
movement Bach wrote a long and diff
cult solo passage for the clavier, and
Mr.. Bauers fluent playing of 1t was
one of the happy incidents OF the con-
cert. The composition did not shine in
the altogether. Neither the violinist nor
the fiutst had anything of distinction to
offer. and the slow movement. which is
for the solo instruments without accom-
paniment, hardly fulfilled the require
ments of the composers Italian de-
nomination of 1t as ''affetuoso." In the
finale. too, Bach wrote some directions
as to expression, and among them the
word ''cantabile' occurs several times.
1t had little influence on the reading of
the music yesterday afternoon
The Song of Fate is seldom heard.
and that is indeed pity. 1t is music of
the noblest beauty and tenderness or
feeling. captivating in melody and subtly
eloquent in harmonic treatment The in
strumental finale, in which the composer
publishes so gloriously faith too pro-
found to be shaken by the pessimstic
conclusion OF the text is one of Brahms's
fpest orchestra. utterances. The COM
position is over half century old, but
its spirit is as young as on the day Of
its first performance.
This composition was given in a man
ner more commendable than either of the
other two but there was still something
|. TO desire. The society's chorus sang
much better than when previously heard.
Indeed. its delivery was generally praise
worthy. but in the general presentation
of the work there was little elasticity or
finesse.

Rabid Coyotes Make Trouble.

Residents u the East have diffl-
Guilty in understanding some OF the
hardshlps which have to be overcome
in parts Of the far West. II is only
when some unusual incident like the
present outbreak Of rabies in the
State Of Washington occurs that the
unusual hardships Of life in the less
thickly populated regions OF the
country is realized.
The scourge which is now general
throughout five counties made its
appearance last August among the
coyotes and quickly assumed viru.
