THE TRAILING ARBUTus
By Sarah Helen whitman.
There. u flower that grows by the green
wood tree,
In It's desolate beauty more dear to me-
Than all that bask in the noontide beam
Through the long. brish, summer BY fount
and stream.
Like n pure hope nursed beneath sorrows S
wing.
Its tlm.d buds from the cold moss spring:
Their delicate hues like the pink seashell.
Or the shaded blush Of the hyacinth's bell.
Their breath moro sweet than the faint
perfume
That treathss from tho bridal orange bloom.
Il Il not found by the garden wall.
II wreathes no brow in the festal hall.
But II dwe,ls In the depths OF the shadowy
wood,
And shines like . star. In the solitude,
Never did numheTS Its name prolong
Ee'cr hath Il foated on wings OF song:
Bard and minstrel have passed II by,
And left II. IN silence and shade. to de.
But with soy 10 It's c.adle the Wild bees
come.
And praise its beauty with drony hum:
And children love, in the season Of spring.
To watch for Ns earliest blossom!ng.
For me. sweet blossom. thy tendrils cling.
Round my heart OF hearts. as in child
hood s spring.
And thy breath. Il floats on the wan
derng air.
Wakes all the music OF memory there,
Thou recalest the time when arIess
child.
I roved all day through the wood walks
Wild.
Seeking thy blossoms by banks and hrae
Wherever the snowdricts had melted away.

Demands New Labor Leadership

To tho Editor Of the Eremtn0 Public Ledger:
Sir-In convention of 200 delegates,
representing local unions Of the mine
workers. held at Wilkes Barre, Pa. +.
April II. platform Of principles was
adopted to be used in the coming con.
gressional elections.
Three outstanding principles were
the Eighteenth Amendment. am a
former mine worker and resident Of
the mining region. My welfare is
bound up with the welfare Of the mining
region, and I feel | have the right to
criticize the actions of these so.called
leaders OF the mine workers.
Any intelligent, unbiased observer
will toll you that the worst enemy Of
the mine worker is the vicious liquor
traffic. both now and previous to pro-
hibition. 1t is an undisputed fact that
the mine workers who are least pre-
pared to withstand the rigors Of
strike are those who have spent and
are spending q large part Of their earn
ings for booze.
When the mine workers leaders ally
themselves with the vicious booze traf-
fc, they do not represent the views
Of the intelligent. sober, Industrious
labor element.
The second principle adopted Is,
'SonuSulnatlon Ok tue stare COnStQb-
ulary and opposition to any increase
Of the force"
This Is another bonshead play on the
part Of the present leaders of the
unions. The State Constabulary stands
for the upholding Of the law and the
Of life and property in the
State. Any impartial observer in the
coal regions will tell you that life and
are immensely better protected
since the advent Of the constabulary.
The third bonehead demand Is 'Con.
demnation Of industrial courts such as
Is found In Kansas"
The leading nations Of the world 70.
day, realizing the folly Of war as an
of settling disputes, are ear
nestly trying to establish international
courts to take the place Of war. but
these so-called leaders Of the mine
workers, are still shouting for war to
settle their disputes with the mine
owners.
I have talked with different mine
workers who all say, IF the conditions
get too bad the Government will have
to take hold In other words. thar

Chinese C0ns0rtium
10 COnre7e Newt Month
Report OF Surrey OF Oriental
Conditions Is Expected to
PrOride Basis for Action

A meeting of the council Of the in
ternational consortium tor China has
been called in London pexu month, the
discussions nt which arc expected TO
have an important bearing upon the
future of that organization. The con-
sortium, established III October, 1920.
to secure international financial CO.
operation in the development of China
and prevent exploitation by any single
nation, has never so far functioncd ac-
lively, and the treaties drawn up at
the Washington conference are believed
IN some quartora to remove the neccs-
sity for its continuance.
On the other hand, these treaties
are designed to eliminate some OF
China's objections to the consortium
and. according to we'll informed Chi
nese opinion, may lead TO rcques.
from the PekinG government to the
consortium for a loan or loans.
Sir Charles Adds, Of the Hong Kong
and Shanghai Banking Corporation and
chairman OF the British group in the
consortiunl. has just completed q SUI
vey of the situation in China for the
organization, and is expected to arrive
in New York within TIE next fortnight.
His report is counted upon to throw
much light on several phases Of the
situation now surrounded By uncer-
tainty. After g conference with mem
bers of the American group he will
proceed TO London.
Thomas ". Lamont, acting chairman
Of the American group, will attend the
London meeting, he announced yester-
day. f!e expects TO 60 abroad FOR a
brief visit early in April.

Hylan " ants Bonus Paid
Out OF Foreign Debts
international Bankers" Hold
Up A,cards to Er-Serrice
Men. the Mayor .fsserfs

Mayor Hylan, In a letter 10 the
editor OF "The New York Herald yes
terday, announced himself in favor Of
a soldiers bonus, and suggested the
collection Of the war loans to England
and other foreign countries to meet it.
The Mayor blamed the international
bankers for holding up the payment
of this debt, which the country, in his
opinion, owes the ex-se-vce men.
III our national government would
take Immediate steps 20 collect the
more than $4,000, 100000 in principal
and interest loaned by the United
States TO some twenty European ma
tions.' said the Mayor. "there would be
less Of a powwow as to the manner in
which to raise the money for the
soldier bonus. We are practically
loaning our foreign debtors about
Sl,Oo0,O00 day because Of our govern
ment's apparent indifference TO the
collection Of these debts. And This
very sum would meet the soldier bonus
during the first year.
Our European debtors and their
American agents in financial circles
aTe poHVely telllng Us TO chalk their
debts on the ice. The payment of the
S4'25Q,ooo,oo0 owed US by Great Britain
occasions that empire no concern, for
she straightway proceeds to pay q
bonus TO her own soldiers with The
money of America, while the soldiers
OF America beseech for their own
honest reward. The Responsibilities for
any neglect of our soldiers during the
three and a half years since the ar.
ialstlce rests with the Federal govern
ment for permitting itself to be made
the tool Of the private international
banking interests.'
The Mayor declared that at the out
break Of the war the firm Of J. J.. Nor
gan & Co. had about $500. 900 900 in
vested in foreign securities, principally
British. The collapse Of the British
Empire would have entailed the i'm
poYerishment OF the house OF Morgan.
the Mayor said, so that the interna.
tlonal bankers saw to it that their in
yestments had the protection Of Che
United States government and eve had
rich mans war and a poor mans
light
If we fail TO discharge this obliea-
tion," he concluded, ''we stand before
the world welcher on a sacred debt"
