Quite in Character

General Pershing's refusal to ac-
cept the Distinguished Service Cross
that Secretary of War Weeks had

with his conduct since he was ad.

Muscle Shoals

The contract for Muscle Shoals
has been signed by Henry Ford.
What changes it contains from his
original bid have not yet been dis
closed, but it is to be presumed that
they will not materially alter the
plan.
II Congress approves the con-
tract Mr.. Ford will control ono
Of the largest water power sites
in the world, with a capacity of
100000 horsepower. With it 90 two
nitrate plants, a vast amount of
equipment and virtually all that re-
mains Of the undertaking COM
menced by the government during
the war for the purpose of assuring
domestic nitrate supply.
The possibilities are enormous,
Although part OF the work was un-
completed when the government ap-
preparations expired, the founda-
tions were laid, the reservoir conces-
sions were obtained and the biggest
dam, called the Wilson dam. was
partly built. Mr.. Ford purposes the
completion of this dam and the erec
ticn Of one known as Dam No. 8.
with a capacity Of 25o,00O horse
power.
Under the stress of the present
demand for decreased governmental
expenses there is small likelihood
that the government would have
completed the project by itself. To
leave it unfinished would have meant
merely to increase the original cost,
with little prospect of earning an
adequate return. BY leasing the
plant the government will at least
be partly reimbursed and will be
relieved Of the cost of it's upkeep.
Whether or not, when the project
is completed, Mr.. Ford can turn out
cheap fertilizer, there car be little
doubt that the development will
ultimately be Of enormous value to
the country. It VIII furnish as much

The Great Halver

"The method l apply" might say
John Maynard Keynes. the distin~
guishcd financial savant, "in arriv-
ing al the rcparation total is an ex-
tremely simple one. 1t is what may
be called the method Of continuous
halving When expert investigation
showed that Germany had done in
jury to the extent of forty billions I
said that she should pay twenty
billions. Later, when it was agreed
she could mobilize this sum, again
cut this total in two and said ten
billions WIS the proper figure. This
now being approximately the settle
ment, urge five bllions-or, to be
exact, $500. 100000"
The saNant, should his latest pro-
posal find favor, doubtless will be
ready with his scissors once more.
Dividing and whiting, he may not
attain the result of establishing that
France actually owes money TO Ger
many, but he will, perhaps, be able
to bring down the payment to one
paper mark, or even couple Of
pfennigs.
Yet the dear gentleman is mex
pressibly panied when hasty persons
charge him with pro-Germanisn1.
- What he has in mind is benefit to
France. Indeed, his heart bleeds for
her-he loves her so much that he
would give her, as she sits in pow
crty and looks across her devastated
regions, the blessing Of beholding
smoke pouring from all German fac
tories and Of contented Teutons eat
ing five meals day.

The Bonus and Taxation

If there is TO be bonus legislation

Of the government Secretary Mellon
wants no deceit about it. Fairness
to the service men and to the tax

AS to the proposal to use the for

forest, as fund out of which ia

US call the project by its right name
1t is a fraud. If bonus is to be
paid it must be met out Of new tax

Charlie Evans, and this is an extract
from his reply:

1t year or two after that in giving
ar imitation of Bill--you know he

The Man Who Broke the Bank

Bill Hoey in "A Parlor Match season

Farewell Again to Crime

1t has been /. favorite doctrine al
Commissioner EnYight that crime ir
the city was decreasing. His regula.
practice has been to deny the exist
ence Of crime wave.
But in his annual report for 1920,
hled November /, 1921, the Commits
sioner seemed to acknowledge that
there had been some Increase If
crime, though rejoicing that the
crisis was happily over. Incidentally
he made the interesting announce
Hent that the taking out Of insur-
ance promoted crime. He argued
that a doubling Of insurance pre-
MUM rates had not occurred be-
cause Of any increase Of robbery, but
to meet the fictitious losses of policy
holders. II the insurance companies

hcally cease. This implied some
modification of the Enright view
that newspapers, by publishing crime

But now the Commissioner is back

than ever and newspapers continue

A Scholar in Banking

Few Of the prominent fnanciers OF
the last generation combined with
their ability as bankers such an in
terest in the theory and learning Of
their profession as did the late A.
Barton Hepburn. He brought to
banking a scholars mind, trained in
the law, and rs result of his
studies wrote history Of currency
that is one of the leading authori-
ties on the subject. His interest in
the development OF inland water
ways led him also to write volume
on this subject which is one Of the
most important contributions to the
literature of transportation
Mr.. Hepburn was graduated from
Middlebury College. Vermont, in
49, and after practicing law for a
mum er of years became a member
Of the New York State Assembly
In 1880 he was appointed superin-
tendent of the Banking Department
of the State of New York, which
position he filled with such ability
that he was later appointed Federal
bank examiner for New York City
and in 1892 became Comptroller OF
the Currency.
One of his most enduring monu-
mcnts was the endowment of chai,
Of American history and government
at the Imperial University in Toxic
For years he had been strong ad-
vocate Of closer and more sympa-
thetic relations between Japan anc
| the United States. and he hoped tc
promote a better understanding be
tween the two countries by making
American institutions better knowr
in Japan.
His sudden death cuts him off while
still in the midst of many activities
and takes from New York a either
forward in all good works.

The Shameful Lack of Schools

Clarence +. Meleney, associate
superintendent in charge of high
schools, confesscs that he has no
idea how more than 10000 high
school pupils registered for next
month are to be housed. Ninety
one new high school teachers have
been authorized for the coming
term. One hundred and seventy-six
will be necessary to do the work re-
quired.
Conditions in other schools will
be much as are those in the high
schools. There were still $4,000
children on part time instruction in
November, the last date upon
which the figures were furnished.
Overcrowding exists in nearly all
the schools-and in the face of a
prospective epidemic of influenza
overcrowding is very serious
matter.
Mr.. Hylan devoted very large
part of his campaign utterances to
defense of the school shortage.
He denied the shortage and then
sought to place the blame for it on
high prices, upon building condi-
tions, upon labor. He made many and
specious promises of reform, includ-
ing Il pledge to begin Immediately
the construction of ninety new
school buildings. No such plan is
to-day being carried out. The num-
Der Of schools under construction
will be utterly inadequate to house
oncoming pupils.
New York, more than any other
city in the United States, needs good
schools and enough of them. Here
hundreds of thousands of foreign
born children must be made over
into Americans. If this job is half
done or not done at all these chill
dTen will remain foreigners, with
foreign ideas and the tendency of
the uneducated alien to hate the
country to which he has come. That
means unrest, and turmoil and riot
in the future.
The election is over now. The
schools are not campaign issue.
The facts concerning them are SUD-
piled by an insider who is a part Of
Mr.. Hylan's school system. He can
not lay this presentation to the Gin
terests," or attribute it TO his polit-
ical enemies.
1t constitutes very serious in
dictment of his administration. It
is too late now properly to house
these 10000 high school pupils or
to provide full time instruction for
the half taught $4,000. But it is
not too late to begin a comprehen-
sive building plan and to push it to
completion. In this Mr.. Hylan NAV
be sure he will have the backing Of
all the people and Of every one of
the newspapers which he lists among
his enemies.

S. C.. would not have laid him open
to 40 much as a suspicion Of seeking
unearned honors. His work In
France entitled him to any symbol of
gratitude and appreciation his coun-
try has to bcstow. 1t is plain, how
ever. that he felt that he was not Ell
titled to it, and therefore, without
anything theatric in the refusal, he
declined it.
General Pershing's place in his
tory will always be high. But it will
be high not because of any effort on
his part to let his deeds shine be-
fore men.
