for us the warm friendliness the Col

gracious for Americans to preserve
his memory.
1t is happy coincidence that Sen
tember is the anniversary also Of
day which holds high place among
the days consecrated to freedom.
Few events In history have thrilled
the world as did the battle of the
Marne. BY its dramatic quality it
embodies the stand or civilization
against its enemies, just as LAFAy-

generation. Any celebration of that
day, however formal. may serve TO
turn mems minds for a moment To
the things for which the stand at the

things to be remembered.

Heating Your House.

The news article in THE New YoRK
HERALD yesterday, telling the house.
holder how he Is to keep warm this
winter, went right down into the cell
lar OF the facts.
No matter if the hard coal miners
should go back to work in full force
to-day there will be an anthracite
shortage. II may not be felt by the
factories, big apartments and hotels
that have been burning soft coal and
fuel oil with the aid of special de-
vices, but the people who live in
houses or in apartments that have
burned hard coal and who did not
lay in stock last spring must adj
just themselves to existing conditions
or shiver.
AS THE New YORK HERALD pointed
out editorially couple of days ago,
coke will be the best substitute for
anthracite. II is about as easy to
handle as hard coal although it burns
little more rapidly.
IL COht ID HOt W bt bdu tHtH tuc
owner OF a heating plant, unless he
cares to install oil burning apparatus,
must turn to soft coal. Millions of
American homes use bituminous
every winter. II requires more care
than hard coal, for the draft does not
pass through II so readily and 1t can
not stand banking as hard coal fire
can on account OF the difference in
gas production.
Before the rush begins II might be
we'll to consult the local steamfitter
with regard to the furnace CRATE and
drafts. IL he is unfamiliar with the
handling OF soft coal then the manu-
facturer may be called upon for in
formation. IL is less than two
months to the usual date for starting
the furnace. The wise householder
will have a good idea. before mouth
goes by, Of just what he is going to
do about heat.

MIR. Mackay's Big Work.

The alliance which has been formed
between the Postal TelegraphC Com
mercial Cable system and the All
Americas Cables is the result Of
months Of painstaking negotiation un-
dertaken and carried forward by
CLARENCE II. MAcKAY. president Of
the Postal Telegraph Commercial
Cable system, and stands as monu-
ment to his patience and persever-
ance in an enterprise big with possi-
bilities for good in the economic
and political life of the American
hemisphere.
The effect Of this consolidation OF
lines, offices and facilities Is to place
at the immediate service Of the pub
lie a comprehensive American cable
system linking North America, Cen
trail America and South America
from north to south and all the
Americas with Europe and the
Orient. The union of corporations
brings together $4,000 miles Of sub
marine cables, all of which may be
interchangeably used for the expedi-
tion of business. news and official
communications.
True statesmanship dictates that
the Independent peoples and Govern
ments of the three Americas, by every
legitimate and honorable method,
should seek the most comprehensive
understanding of the problems each
must solve and the ambitions each
harbors. On this understanding a
peace founded in sympathy and but
tressed in common interest would
quickly arise which would resist the
efforts of malice and envy to de-
stroy 1t.
Mr.. MAcKAY has forged tool for
the upbuilding OF this understanding
and has put 1t at the disposal of
other farseeing men. With quick
communication assured among the
Americas the newspaper press
in all countries has the oppor-
tunity to enlarge its service from the
American nations foreign to It. With
this means of communication and
with modern steamships carrying
passengers and merchandise from
American port to American port the
day of thorough mutual comprehen-
sion and consequent cooperation will
not be long deferred.

Death Of w. H. Hudson.

A letter recently received in this
city led to the first public announce
ment Tuesday OF the death in Eng
land OF w. II. HupsoN on August Is.
Mr.. HupsoN has been frequently re-
ferred to as an intrepid naturalist.
This he undoubtedly was, for he never
spared himself in his nature studies
and never halted at obstacles in his
work of research. But he Is per-
haps best known in America as a
brilliant writer who above all else
sought to give to his readers a thor
oughly poetical and sympathetic in
depreciation of nature.
HupsoN's last book, "A Traveller in
Little Things was published in Sep
tember, 1921. TO the reader who
marveled at its freshness and vigor
Il seemed remarkable that the au-
thor's first book should have come
from the press thirty-six years be-
fore. And. moreover. the charm
which he found in this last work was
the fascinating quality which the
readers OF the sos found in HUDSON S

Breakfasting.

Whether IL is better to start the
day on coffee and a roll or to fortify
oneself against the demands Of the
morning with meal OF more noble
proportions is one of those ques-
tions which persistently return for
settlement. The doctors have been
talking about IL again. and some OF
them have expressed the conviction
that bacon and eggs and cereal and
chops and sausage and griddle cakes
and all that sort Of thing are neces-
sary bulwark for the man who is
going to make use OF his brain
through the day.
Probably the question Of light or
solid breakfast is best settled by
the temper OF a mans appetite in the
morning. II II is sharp. let him at
least take the edge of the sharpness,
and IL IL is dull. let him have his
coffee and his roll.
A solid breakfast does not have the
effect OF making man drowsy as a
solid lunch or dinner often does. and
1t is therefore no argument against
II to say that brain workers need to
keep their heads clear through the
day. Most men discover they can
work better IL their lunch is light
one and for them the coffee and roll
regimen is out of the question. AS
for men whose day is spent in physi-
cal labor. most OF them discover that
three solid meals a day suit them
about right.
There is more cant and pure
buncombe spoken and written about
matters Of diet than about any other
department OF hygiene. The vita
mine fad is only one in long sue
cession OF dogmatic prescriptions as
TO what people should eat to keep
healthy. Physicians are now ex-

Not in 1887, but Now!

The most important and alarming
things about the Mayors transit
plans and transit statements are the
omissions.
The Mayor seems entirely to over
look the fact that this city Is nearly
ten years behindhand with its sub
ways. In Manhattan, for instance,
both the East Side and West Side
lines are so congested as to make
rush hour travel unhealthful as well
as uncomfortable. And this in spite of
the speeding up which the Transit
Commission has made possible this
summer.
The Transit Commissions program
is one which could be proceeded with
at once If the city government would
cooperate. New York would soon have
its north and south travel facilities
doubled
Mayor HYLAN's plan is years off.
IL depends upon recapturing lines the
leases of which have a long time to
run. 1t depends also on recapturing
control of legislation. The entire
program calls for fifteen years work
at an average cost of $40,000,000 a
year
The citizens of New York are very
glad to arrange for their children's
future comfort, but they would like
for themselves a little better trans
portation system before they retire to
slippers and cruel.
The city administration would be
more popular with the subway riders
if it should say to the Transit Com
mission something like this: I'VE
don't like you much, but the law has
put you in charge of the building of
new subways. We both agree, for
one thing, that Manhattan must have
big new line on the West Side.
Let's talk that over first"
Such an attitude would benefit the
public. But the only attitude struck
at City Hall is one of grandeur and
defiance.

AMUNDSEN ABANDONS
POLAR FLIGHT THIS YEAR
Season Too Far Advanced !;

NOME, Alaska. Aug. 90 (Associated
Press) Capt. Roald Amundsen, Nor
wegian explorer. has definitely aban-
doned for this year his plan for an air
plane flight from northern Alaska across
the North Pole to Sptzbergen or Grants

by unfavorable ice conditions and that
the season was too far advanced to per-
NIT success. He has landed his plane

Postmen Will Not Wait.

The patient postman who rings the
front door bell and uncomplainingly
waits the pleasure of the householder
to respond to the summons and re-
ceive the mail will soon be figure
of history.
The Post Office Department has is
sued an order instructing postmas-
ters to stop delivery Of mail at
dwelling houses not having a slot
or receptacle for mail at the front
door. The Department prefers the
slot. but will consent to the use of
box. Four months notice is given
citizens to provide the slot or re-
ceptacle. When this has expired
mail will be stopped at homes Of
those citizens who ignore the order.
Recently the postmasters were or
dered to refuse carrier delivery
where new homes have been con-
structed without boxes or door slots
for mail. This order applied to car
rier delivery to families removing
from one house to another.
Assistant Postmaster-G General BART
LETT says 70 per cent. of the home
dwellers have cooperated in the
campaign to provide door slots and
receptacles to hasten the delivery Of
the mail by letter carriers. The
others have failed TO cooperate. The
order applies only to dwellings. Bust
ness houses, hotels and apartment
houses receive the mail for their ten
ants under other regulations. The
postmasters will simply stop sending
mail to families that do not help the
reform along.
The new regulation is based on
the theory that carriers in residence
districts waste much time, and in
bad weather are unnecessarily ex-
posed, through the dilatoriness OF a
comparatively small part of the popu-
lation which does not promptly an

American plains, and, in his own
words, there he ran wild over wild
land"
There he studied plants and flowers
and became intensely interested in
the struggle for existence among the
birds and animals. He became ia
miliar with the life of the gauchos,
the native horsemen of the plains,
and found that there was good as
well as bad side to their character.
He talked too with men who could
recall the blood stained early history
OF the Republic of Uruguay and re-
member the brief conquest of this
country by the British expedition to
Montevideo early in the last century.
Ii was this and his own wanderings
that gave him his material for THE
Purple Land"
In South America too HUDSON ac-
quired that familiarity with Spanish
language and literature which had
such marked influence upon his writ
ing. Some of his friends attributed
to this same influence that mystic
sensitiveness to nature which ap-
peared so attractively in his works.
There always seemed the dreamy
background of the pampas whether
he was writing of the south, look
ing from a sickbed out through a
Cornish window or wandering over
the English moors.
He was often called a dreamer.
Perhaps he was, but his dreams must
have been dreams of vigor and ac-
mplishments. and IL his literary
works express them they must also
have been distinguished by remark
able clearness of vision. His was
life Of utmost simplicity and he lived

Wicked Golf, Pious Baseball.

Recently IL was suggested in these
columns that games like golf and
bridge might be benefited by taking
on High Commissioners, just as base
ball and the motion pictures have
been helped. The news from Chicago
backs up the suggestion. There the
Westmoreland Country Club is in a
turmoil. Caddies have been exacting
bribes. from golf players, threatening
to accuse them of cheating in their
scores unless they "came across" with
SIS or so. A Lands OF golf could not
only send the wicked caddies into
exile, as the dishonest White Sox
players were sent, but could investi-
gate the players and discover whether
or not there is in the whole country
golfer so base that he would turn
in false card.
Let golf take heed from baseball
Consider the new atmosphere of the
diamond. True, Judge LANprs has not
yet disciplined the background of the
game, for the fans in certain rude
Western cities still throw pop bottles
at hated fielders and umpires. But
the players show signs OF the best.
On the very day when Chicago golf
went under cloud good man in
Philadelphia was presenting pocket
edition OF the Bible to each member
of the Chicago American League
team. The White Sox are to carry
the books in all games and read a
passage of Scripture every day. Five
other major league teams have been
equipped in the same manner.
Would golfers show such pious
signs? Some, we fear, would let the
caddy carry the Bible as we'll as the
bag of clubs.

The Great Cable Problem.
Professor Pupin's Experience a
the Williams stown Round Table.

To THE New YORK HERALD Your
paper OF August 20 reported clash be-
tween myself and Walter S. Rogers,
chairman at williamstown of the round
table on international electrical COM
munications. 1t is round table IA. The
report does not describe the really inn
portant feature of that clash. 1t Is this:
Chairman Rogers introduced arbitra-
riIy a sharp division between people who
could be expected to take part In the
discussions of his round table One
group comprises the existing American
telegraph, telephone. cable and radio
companies and their technical and
scientific experts. Mr.. Rogers calls them
the private interests. The other group
comprises people who. headed by Mr..
Rogers. know nothing about electrical
communications from the TECHNICAL or
scientific side. Mr.. Rogers admir,eu
that and stated that no representatives
OF the first group, the private interests,
were invited to his round table.
I inferred that the few people, two or
three. whom ! saw around round table
IA were people who knew nothing about
the technical side of the subject which
Mr.. Rogers was discussing. The large
number OF reporters and secretaries
whom I saw at the round table were
evidently there for the purpose OF re-
porting what Mr.. Rogers only had to
say. In the several reports concerning
the activity Of this round table nave
scen hardly any remarks or suggestions
from anybody else excepting Mr. Rogers.
Mr.. Rogers had the floor all to himself
and he enjoyed II hugely. because no
other member OF his round table had the
requisite knowledge to contradict him.
Most OF the things he said were, ac-
cording 70 newspaper reports, harmless
and IL matters little whether they were
correct or not. One statement however.
could not remain unchaliengcd. the
sta,ement. namely that the United States
has no constructive transoceanic electri-
cal communications program.
In his several discourses he used the
expression United States and Great
Britain. meaning the operating compn-
nies IN these two countries and not the
governments. IL was. therefore. per-
,nissible 10 interpret his statement asan
indictment OF the operating companies
I know, and have known for num-
Der of years, that the American electri-
cal communications companies, their en-
rineers and experts. and the electrical
sc,entIsts OF this country have con-
structive transoccanic electrical commu'
nicatlons program which aims at nothing
less than to put the United States
into a dominating position in world
communications.
since my summer residence Is near
williamstown decided TO visit Mr.. Rog-
ers's round table and disclose this joy
ful news which ought to gladden. the
heart of every good American. But
when | appeared at the round table Mr.
Rogers informed me that I belonged tc

private interests and that 1 am there
