Lusitania Claims.
The Proposal to Pay Them Out of
the Alien Property Funds.

To THE NEW YORK HERALD: In view
OF the confusion which seems to exist
In the minds Of many as to whether
the payment Of such claims as the Lus.-
tania claims out of the alien property
tion or not ! take the liberty as chair
man Of the Lusitania Claimants Com
mittee OF making these few observa.
tions:
In the treaty Of Berlin between the
United States and Germany, section 8.
the two countries agree that the allen
property money should be held by the
United States until such time as Ger
many made suitable provision for the
satisfaction of claims of Americans
against Germany. AS matter OF fac;
It should be plain to any one that Ger
many. by virtue OF it's power of eminent
domain. is taking property of these
citizens and pledging It for a public
purpose with the United States and
promising in the same treaty to reim-
burse its own citizens for any funds
so taken.
Where is the confscation in this
WHY, III tit w iuSioW b4Ai' ShSdtA VIC "s-
sumo apparently to violate he letter
and spirit of the Berlin treaty and pre-
fer the claims of the Germans over
claims of Americans against funds spe-
cifcally pledged by the German Govern
ment under the authority of it's Const;
tuition and laws?
The Underwood bill would seem to
provide a reasonably speedy and accu-
rate method for arriving at the amount
of the American claims and satisfying
them out of the alien property funds. IL
Germany does not in the meantime pay
them. AS has been many times pointed
out, the Lusitania outrage Is sui generis
Why should the members oe an inter-
national tribunal haggle around the
table over what the value In dollars is
of the life OF an American man, woman
or child? Let us fix that value by our
own commission without quibbling as to
the earning power or condition Of health
of the slain victims and with some re-
gard to the enormity of the crime per-
petrated against civilization.

Special Dispatch to THE NEW YORK HERALD.
WILLIAMsrowN. Mass. Aug. S.-Lionel
Curtis. successor Of the late viscount
Bryce a. British representative at the
Institute OF Politics. gave his nnal lee
ture this morning. In substance. a plea
for world commonwealth OF nations.
He cited the British Empire. with its
common regulations for far scattered
lands. as an argument in favor OF such
world association.
The relations Of the peoples OF Eu-
rope and America to those OF Asia and
Africa is the ultimate problem OF poli-
tics" he said. "The real question is
how to bring those relations within the
realm of law. properly so called. The
solution of that problem involves the
creation OF a super state or, In plain
words. commonwealth OF nations.
"And II do not shrink from Offering
a conclusion SO daring to practical peo-
pie like yourselves. It Is only because the
relations Of races In all the continents
and a. all the various stages Of progress
together equal to one-quarter Of human
society. have already been brought with
In the range Of one international law.
"Have you ever thought what this In
ternational commonwealth means to the
peace or the world China, the only other
State comparable in size Is a wing OF the
human edifice. It's destruction might
shake but scarcely destroy the whole
fabric Of society.
"But this British commonwealth OF ma
tions Is a steel frame spread through the
whole structure, and we're 1t to collapse
the peace Of tho world would fall In
unspeakable ruin. The nve continents
are poised on its arches. But I weigh
my words when say that unless the
principle of the commonwealth steadily
replaces the principle Of empire In Its
structure those arches will collapse.
1T has always seemed to me strange
that cosmopolitans who dream OF q
world government and a parliament OF
man go out of their way to condemn any
institution which is In fact a practical
step toward their ideal They are blind
to actual achievements and have eyes
only for their failures and defects. II
we had but vision the figure Of our
dreams Is about us in the making. Its
substance is here to be handled and seen.
"The most perilous task which a COM
monweallh can undertake Is to attempt
to govern other races" no said. 1T
cannot be done without the gravest
risks to tho principles upon which its
own institu IONS are based. Athens and
Rome are both warnings on that point.

Pavement Needs Attention.

To THE New York HERALD: desire
to- call attention TO the Ineffective man
ner in which the work OF repairing the
hole at the corner Of State and Bridge
streets. Manhattan, was done.
When the granite block pavement was
laid In State street a few years ago
to replace the asphalt. which had been
a source of trouble to the truckmen
every time II showed. experts said II
was one OF the best granite block pave
ment jobs ever done in New York.
But now the finely laid and even
pavement has been marred by the poor
work done by the repair gang. and every
day It grows worse. The Borough Pres
ldent's Office should look after this.

Petitioners Charge ExtraDa-
1once and FaUoritisn,.

A petition bearing 4,30o signatures
asking for the end of the commission
form of government In Bayonne was
filed yesterday with William r. Lee.
City Clerk OF Bayonnc, by members
of tho Anti-Commisslon Government
League.
Only $500 signatures are necessary to
place the matter before the city at tho
next general election in November. Tho
fight has been marked by charges that
the budget has tripled since II was
established, that there are no separate
heads of departments. and that favorit-
ism is shown in dispensing city jobs.
A fight Is expected by defenders OF
the city administration to test the legal
ity of the signatures.

Never Too Late to Learn.

A North Carolina grandmother,
Mrs. A. p. CRAWFORD of Greensboro,
has entered Columbia University at
the age of II as a summer session
student, taking up philosophy and lit
erature. A Louisiana District Judge
JOHN e. REYNOLDS Of Arcadia, So
years old, has registered for the law
course at the University Of Michigan,
perhaps to examine carefully the diff
ferences between the laws in general
American use and the Louisiana
legal system, which is based on the
Code Napoleon. When he receives
his degree after nine summer ses-
sions he will be II.
Learning Is the most reliable
hobby. When all the other diver
sions, from playing pinochle to build
ing palaces, grow stale and fiat the
exercise OF the intellect still retains
its pleasure. The body may weary Of
golf, the eye may tire Of travel, the
passion for collecting may burn out;
but the Improvement Of the mind by
training it or storing 1t with new
riches has infinite variety and re-
markable possibilities.
Luckily for human ambition there
is no intellectual standard too high
for all men and women to aim at.
There is no one mind in all the world
that is as great thinking machine
as the brain of ARISTOTLE; yet there
Is no reason why some person now
living should not attain to the
wonderful efficiency of that supreme
philosopher. There is no living man so
versatile in learning as LEONARDO DA
vINcI was; yet the medieval Italian
did not derive his powers from either
heaven or heredity.
The race for intellectual supremacy
is open to all and there is prize for
every contestant. The entrant may
be 9 years old and struggling with
Robinson Crusoe" or 30 years old
and trying to find new holes ia the
reasoning of KANT. The contest is
sure to be full of pleasure. fairly GER
tain to improve the thinkers view OF
life, and possibly may be the key to
the door OF some discovery of use to
the whole world.
This last point is one which should
be considered by all seekers of wis
dom, and particularly by those who,
like Mrs. CRAWFORD and Judge
REYNOLDS, pursue culture in their
maturity. The acquisition Of wisdom
purely for the pleasure Of the student
is worthy enough; but there Is a
great waste II some fruits OF the
work are not preserved. II Mrs.
CRAWFORD or Judge REYNOLDS can
add even single phrase to the sum
OF human wisdom as the result Of the
studies upon which they have entered
in their ripper years they should not
neglect to record 1t. 1t Is not by the
wisdom OF one man that the world
has grown so fast. but by the piled
IN knowledge of the thousands.
We like to see the older set going
to college. 1t Is an example Of faith
"a the young: faith in knowledge and
in the future.

Poland to Export Eggs.
Annual Production There Is Esti.
mated at About 2,OOO,OOO,OOO.
From Poland ,MnDorinc.


Poland Will have available for export
from 700 to 1000 carloads of eggs annu-
ally. according TO recent calculations
based on the potential egg production
OF the nation. 1t Is estimated that the
annual production is approximately two
billion eggs. or $4,000 carloads.
At a recent conference in Cracow the
continued control OF the egg export trade
was favored. since otherwise the low
rate of Polish exchange would tend
toward the exporting of too great pro-
portion of the nations egg supply. Dur
ing January the price OF eggs in Poland
dropped about 33 per cent. At the pres
ent rate of exchange it Is about one
cent an egg.
