For Near East Sufferers

A Women'S emergency committee
has been formed to make a special
Lenten week appeal for funds to
feed children in the Transcaucasian
republics. The Near East Relief
has had to cut down its appropr;a-
tions by 25 per cent, and this re
Jrenchment will Immediately affect
$4,000 orphans in Transcaucasia
now cared for by bread line distri-
buttons.
The Near East Relief has gath
cred IN 179 orphanages 100000
destitute children. But there are
others equally destitute left outside
begging for bread At Tihis, whose
population has doubled since the
war, 200 orphans receive daily
ratlons in one Of the churchyards
and $3.50 in the Russian Garden.
In cities like Tiflis, Batum, Erivan
and Baku, all densely crowded with
refugees, half the adults are with
out regular employment Conditions
are worst of all in the little republic
, Of Armenia, beyond the Caucasus,
the only fragment of Armenia which
has been liberated. Here hundreds
of thousands are in the direst want
and about 10000 are on the verge
Of starvation.
The American public has taken d
/ special interest in the Armenians,
scourged and decimated in the
World War. 1t will undoubtedly
respond to this additional call for
help to keep the race alive. They
are a Christian people, whose hard
fate appeals to all Christian people.

Laws and Laws

To the Editor Of The Tribune.
Sir: / have heard good deal Of talk
all my life that this country was no
real democracy, but that the rich peo.
pie picked out the candidates and made
the laws and fooled us into thinking
that We had something to do with it. I
never did believe it before, but l vow
am beginning to.
Of course we must all be for law and
order whom it is their law and order.
But this prohibition law the rich did
not have anything to do with. The
common people cleaned out the stuff
pretty nearly everywhere and the ma
tionsl law did the rest. The rich peo-
pie did not help particularly in getting
our different sections dry, but they did
not hinder much either-not in the Sec
tions I know about. They knew they
could get all they wanted themselves.
And some Of them thought it was a
good idea to get the stuff away from
the folks who worked for them. They
never thought the time would come
that they would have to obey a law
they did not make-at least, that is the
way it is looking to lots Of US now.
We know it is a bunch of those rich
people that are making this trouble We

Cx-Emprcss-Q Queen Iita, the natural
regent for Franz Otto Joseph, is n
foreigner, detestcd alike by Aus
trians and Hungarians for the part
she played in the Prince Sixtus ne
gotiations with the Allies.
A Hapsburg restoration in Hun
gary seems all the more fanciful be-
cause both the Little Entente pow
ors and the major Allied powers arc
set against it, The Little Entente
threatened last year to invade Hun
gary if Charles were allowed to

The Boss Passes

Gloomily surveying a political
order which he neither approves nor

the last of his species, predicts that
he will have no successor. For half
century Foley rulcd Tammany

till he was able to enforce his de-
mands for Office or patronage on
the powerful leader of Tammanv
Hall.
Direct nominations and woman
suffrage combined to loosen his grip.
No longer on Election Day could he

horrld head. They found out at the
Wlgwam that Tom wasn't infallible
any more.
Other bosses less personally mag
netic than Foley dropped out of
power before he did Among these
was Croker, the last autocrat of
Iammany Hall. Murphy, who fol-
lowed Croker. has been more the
head Of syndicate than a personal
boss. He substituted shrewdness
and cunning for buster and force
Often he was compelled to accept
( the Judgment of his aids instead of
insisting upon his own.
The prophecy Foley makes 50
dismally is fortunately true. 1t is
true not only of the local district
but of the whole Tammany organi
cation. Even such cautious leader
ship as Murphy has been able to
sway will end when he is finally
oyerthrown. There is no one in the
! organization who can take even
Murphys place
The modern Tammany leader is
created by opinion in his district
The organization is still sinister
still menace to good government
But it Is gradually. losing its i'll
fluence because it is losing its hold
on the voters. Why Tammany fo1
so many years fought direct nomi-
nations and woman suffrage now be
comes apparent. The men who di-
rected the battle saw that its loss
would mean their ultimate destruc-
ton. They foresaw the fate of Foley
and later of Murphy. They knew
that Tammany would eventually be
doomed.

Neither Law Nor Order

II is evident that neither the
Mayor nor the Police Commissioner
can be counted on to do anything
more than they have been doing to
check crime in New York City.
What they have been doing is Neg
Ilsible, Highwaymcn. hold up and
rob citizens when and where they
please. They work by daylight or
dark, as best suits them. The rob-
ii berries during the winter would re-
.euirc page Of this newspaper to
catalogue.
The Police Commissioner has
under his orders a large force Of
men who are physically fit and
whose courage is unquestloned. In
telligently handled. this force ought
to be adequate for the task of
ridding the city Of its criminal
visitors. But how can Police Com
missioner intel,igentiy combat crime
when he denies that crime exists?
How can he map out plan Of cam
paign against gunmen and highway
robbers when he takes the position
the reports of the crimes these men
commit are merely fictitious news
paper stories, pyinte1 for the inalign
purpose Of injuring him and the
administration that sponsors him?
What New York needs is not a
new police force, nor an increased
police force, but police force given
proper leadership. The policemen
on duty outnumber the criminals by
more than q hundred to one. They
have the law on their side. They
have access to the records Of every
. professional criminal in the country.
They can at any time they choose
= enlist the aid of citizens in the pur-
suit of criminals. They cannot.
however, do what they must do if
the crime wave is to be checked
until they are specifically assigned
to that duty and handled in the
same way that d general would
handle a force of soldiers in a
battle
Obviously Mr.. Enright is either
unable OF unwilling TO do this.
Equally obvious is the fact that the
Mayor IS not going to insist upon
his doing it. There is only one
alternative for the harassed citi-
zens of New York. That is an
appeal to the Governor to order Nlr.
Enright to enforce the law on pain
Of removal from office.

investigating the Coal Industry

John l.. Lewis. head Of the coal
miners union, declares that the
miners are opposed to arbitration
but would welcome an investigation
by government appointed body,
provided ii is not one of the tradi
tionslly futile Congressional COM
mittces lacking the requisite tech
nical knowledge. The commission.
according to Mr.. Lewis, should be
composed largely of engineers and
other tcchnicians similarly qualified.
with representation both of the
operators and the miners"
The sooner such body is named
tho better. 1t is essential that
thorough investigation be made
covering not only the question of
wages and hours in the various
grades and classes of mine opera
tions but also the cost of production
and distribution, with special refer
cnce TO the freight rates and charges
Of the middlcmcn, together with the
selling prices and profits in the in
dustry as 4 whole. So long as the
operators and miners carry on a
warfare of propaganda and issue
conflicting statements AS to various
factors Of the economic aspect of
the industry there is no hope Of
arriving at the truth except through
an investigation carried on under
the authority Of the government.
Whether arbitration finally will
lave to be undertaken depends on
the developments of the next few
weeks. But it does not in any way
diminish the necessity Of naming a
commission now. composed Of repre-
sentatives Of the operators, the
miners and the public. to collect the
data which must be had if ever in
terceasion proves essential. If a
settlement is made without the
necessity Of an arbitrating body
there will be available for the pub
lie much needed information on the
coal situation which should facilitate
an understanding Of the claims of
both sides and make easier the
formation of an intelligent public
opinion.
Every day Of delay may materi-
ally lensthen the strike and increase
the likelihood that the government
will have TO take drastic action.

The Rhine Costs

Premier Poincare has informed
Ambassador Herrick that the French
government "never had any inten-
ton of contesting the right of the
United States to be as completely re
imbursed for its army costs as
other governments with troops on
the Rhine This plain statement
disposes Of earlier reports from
Paris that NJ. Poincare had said that
the United States had sound moral
claim for reimbursement but an in
sufficient legal claim. The president
Of the Council of Ministers is too
well grounded and far sighted q
statesman 10 maintain that America
by failing to ratify the Versailles
Treaty lost rights which antedate
that treaty aud which that treaty
itself expressly validates.
= The American claim is indisputa-
ole-so much so that our State De
partment assumed that ii would be
met. along with the French. British,
, Belgian and italian claims. when
Germany began 10 make payments.
Army costs are preferred charge
on the sums collected from Germany,
coming ahead of PREPARATIONS for war
damages. Mr.. Hughes was moved TO
send reminder TO that effect to our
European allies only by the fact that
they seemed disposed TO make rep
aration payments out of schedule or
der without consulting the United
s States.
s' Our occupation account will not be
pressed to the disadvantage of
France and Belgium. They deserve
special consideration as German
creditors. They have suffered more
than we have from the long delays
IN enforcing the armistice and the
strcaty. 1t will be easy enough to ac-
ieonmodate their interests and our
Interests. But, as in the case of the
sicrnlan overseas possessions, put
under mandates by the Allied Coun-
ell, it was necessary to call attention

The Hapsburg Shadow

The last of the Hapsburg rulers
died IN exile. But there are royal
ist elements in Austria and Hungary
not yet prepared to believe that
the Hapsburg succession WHY 90
into the grave with the ex-emperor-
king Charles learned nothing from
his grotesque 1ihbustering expedi,
tions to regain the throne of Hun
gary. The Hungarian Parliament
deposed him and annulled his claims
to sovereignty, yet he left a will in
which he suggested that a regent
should be appointed for his eldest
son, Franz Otto Joseph, until the
latter should become Of age, ''to rule
over Austria and Hungary"
Austria is a republic. Its people
owe to the Hapsburgs a misery
which is almost beyond measure.
Hungary remains 4 kingdom, re-
duced to one-third Of its former
population and to less than a
third Of its former area. It's
people seem still devoted to the
monarchical principle. If cir
cumstances had favored they proba-
bly, would have welcomed Charles
back last year, since he was then
the legitimate possessor of the
crown of st. Stephen. He ceased
to be that before the Allies sent
| him to Madeira Do the Hunga
rians want to accept his son, a
minor, as their ruler?
There are two older Hapsburg
princes who are candidates for cleo
tion to the vacant throne. -Admiral
Horthy is also receptive candidate.
He is the present regent. and under
him the Hungarians enjoy the bene-
| fits of monarchy without having a
monarch. Why put the form above
the substance? Horthy is native
leader of force and prestige. The
