Enright's Sudden Activity.

For a man who only a few days
ago declared that crime in New York
was not extraordinarily prevalent,
Police Commissioner ENRIGHT is
showing activity. He has summoned
the civilian reserves. put the motor
cycle squad on night patrol duty,
turned his deputies motor cars over
to the detective bureau, and asked for
more swift automobiles with which
to pursue the flying robbers.
II the Commissioner still believes
that this is safe and quiet town. it
may be that he is going through the
motions Of speeding up the depart
ment just for the sake of the psyche
logical effect on persons who fancy
they have been shot, slugged or
robbed. At any rate, it is soothing to
see something being attempted, what
ever the motive.

AND NATIONAL BANK
Confusion Caused BY Putting
Forced Loan Into Effect.

WASHINGTON. April 11.--Closing OF
the Boursc and the National Bank OF
Greece was reported to-day In cable dis
patches to the Commerce Department.
Confusion caused by the uncertainty
OF the enactment of a forced loan by the
Greek Government. according to Com
mercial Atteche Paul l.. Edwards. at
Athens. caused the Greek authorities 40
close the Bourse and tho National Bank
Of Greece after the forced loan became
effective. The forced internal loan OF
1.60O. 900, 900 drachmas was floated by
the Greek Governments by calling in
part of the paper money in circulation
In exchange for 6ti per cent bonds due
in twenty years and certain other con-
siderstions.
Bank notes of 5, TO- 20, 100, 500 and
1000 drachmas were to be cut In half
one half to be declared legal tender at
one-half the value or the whole note and
the other half to be held by the Govern
mont and TO be replaced by bonds. "A
dispatch from Athens dated April . said
that this provision had been changed.

1he Traffic Towers.
Fault Found With the Design
Adopted for Fifth Avenue.

To THE New York HERALD: II the
design for the proposed traffic towers in
Fifth avenue, which is shown in a pic
ture In your paper, Is the best result
obtainable from the mysterious compe-

to you a new competition. or at least
some further rcvisions in this design.
| understand the selection of this design

that certain notifications we're to be
made.
1t seems to me that as more than one
hundred drawings were submitted and
the public Is Interested in such an i'm

have been held.
I am for keeping the present towers

Russia's Stroke at Genoa.

1t was brilliant stroke with which
TcHITcHERIN, Russia's spokesman at
the Genoa conference, burst into the
very opening of the proceedings with
his declaration that his country was
ready to discuss disarmament IL the
rest OF Europe would.
He knew perfectly well, as he
calmly admitted, what Frances posi-
tion was--that the subject was not
included In the Genoa agenda and
could not be discussed. He was well
aware, as his good natured attitude
through the whole incident revealed.
that the French delegate, LOUIS
BARTHoU, would interpose his pro-
test, as he did. He must have fore
seen that the Italian president Of
the conference would promptly rule
him out of order, as he did. And he
undoubtedly surmised that the re-
sourceful and agile LLOYD GEORGE
would perform clever and success
full maneuver of peacemaker in the
delicate situation, as he did.
But, agenda or no agenda, the
willy Russian got 1t into the unwrit.
ten record of the Genoa conference,
and got 1t into the written record of
the press OF the world, that there
was "a demand for European dis
armament and the conference would
better discuss it," that Russia must
have disarmament and knows it,
that I'VE hope by open discussion to
be able to allay French suspicion
BRAND, former Premier of France,
in arranging at Cannes with Prime
Minister LLOYD GEORGE the Genoa
conference, had said that Russia's S
ornament made disarmament impos-
sible for France. LLOYD GEORGE him
self, in the House of Commons only
few days before the assembling of
the Genoa conference, had declared
that the economic reconstruction of
Europe depended upon Russian dis
armament. What chance all that
offered to Russia at Genoa! What a
chance when 1t was certainty that
the conference would not let Russia
make good with disarmament,
whether Russia really wanted to
or not.
And SO TcHITcHERrN coolly played
his stroke to set Russia in better
light before the eyes of the world,
smilingly accepted the ruling Of the
conference and came off in the first
encounter of Old World statecraft
around the council table at Genoa
one of the very big figures of the
whole international situation.

Liquor Smuggling.
Officials Away When a Cargo Was
Landed in Florida.

To THE NEW YORK HERALD: I am
much entertained by the account Of the
rush to enforce prohibition in the North
But one point Is overlooked.
AS the season Is about over here the
enforcement officers commence to feel
lonesome and there is no more excuse
for expensive junketing trips to Flor
ida. Now the scene is shifted to the
lovely shores of the st. Lawrence and
Lake Champlain, and the Government
will provide high power cars and lovely
yachts and flying boats.
Some time ago there was scene on
the Indian River that few were tipped
or to. 1t may help to explain why booze
running goes on in Florida. A booze
boat landed about at the Sebastian
River and transferred lot of good stun
to a motor boat. The motor boat came
UP the river and landed its cargo about
half way between this town and the
county seat. which is forty miles north.
In the meantime various important off,
cials had business here and to the south.
Two Government seaplanes were here.
but out OF kilter and the road to Jack
sonvile for the choice booze was all
clear.
1t would all be very funny IL 1t were
not that 1t is educating the ignorant
to have disrespect for all law. The
only way that can see to remedy
matters is to leave at home all legisla-
tors who voted for the Volstead law,
and to repeal the whole prohibition
schedule and pass strict and very
high license and local option law.

The Bears Legal Status.

If the Maine Sportsmen's Fish and
Game Association has its way the
black bear, our old friend Ursus
americanus. will be lifted to plane
Of respectable standing in game So
ciety. At present he is an outlaw
with a price on his head.
The standard value Of a bears
scalp in Maine is IS, but in Washing
ton and Penobscot counties they pay
as much as $40 for every authenti-
Gated bear trophy that is delivered.
The Identification rules are exacting.
1t must be proved in the first place
that the defunct was Maine bear.
The hunter may not turn in Canuck
bear and expect to get the bounty.
He must take oath before the Town
Clerk that the bear was an actual
resident of the Dirigo State and also
make oath that he, the hunter, did
the bear killing himself.
AS evidence of the slaughter he
must produce the bears hide with
the nose intact. When these condi-
tions have been satisfactorily met
and the Town Clerk has cut off the
bears nose and burned it, then the
$40 is duly paid over.
To all this the sportsmen Of Maine
strongly object. They propose to
carry the matter to the State Legis-
lature at its next session. They will
demand that the ban be lifted from
the bear and that he have the same
protection which is extended to other
fur bearing animals.
Against this proposition the Maine
agricultural bloc is solidly arrayed.
The farmers assert that the bear Is
not game but plain pest. That
he Is a thief and a marauder is not
disputed. His lawless appetite for
growing green wheat and growing
green corn is notorious. To get at
honey he will face all the myriad
swarms OF enraged bees that massed
hives can let loose. The total losses
to farmers from his raiding villainies
run into large figures. Even out
lawed as he is and with every mans
hand against him, his ravages are
among the adverse factors with which
the farmer must contend.
Thus the line OF cleavage between
Maine sportsmen and Maine farmers
is sharply drawn. On one side are
those who wish to see the bear in
crease and multiply; on the other
are those who insist that he shall be
exterminated.

Dogs as Protectors.
Mans Faithful Friend Of More Ser
vice Than Many D0n'ts.

To THE NEW YORK HERALD: The
quizes: "A living dog Is better than a
dead lion" We cannot help thinking the
same when we read the innumerable
don'ts recently published by the Com
missioner Of Police.
Too little Is the faithful friend OF man
kind. the patient. watchful. well nigh
omniscient dog, appraised in our dones-
tic economy. Even the fluffy Pekingese
is an extraordinary sentinel in the night
more acute than his masters the dog
is the invaluable protector whose alarm
Is quicker than the most delicate mech
anism, more feared by the housebreaker
than an armed patrol.
Bred in many cases for centuries to
the defense of home and herd; trained
in our modern life to extraordinary
deeds OF super humanity this inestimable
friend and guardian is the object Of
countless heartless regulations. Travel is
made difficult IL not impossible for him
unless with unbelievable cruelty he is
boxed and expressed with ones heavier
baggage. He is treated as q nuisance
and ridden down without a pang by our
traffic or swept of to slaughter.
It Is regrettable to say the least that
these things should be. but the situation
demands recognition and better place
in our homes, towns and cities for the
watchdog. More dogs. better care and
training for them, even some municipal
regulations insuring their better health
and development and we would have
less need for SO many don'ts.

ny w. j. HENDERSON.

Nine. ELY New. German pianist. gave
her fifth and concluding recital last eve-
ming in Carnegie Hall. The program
arranged by this important artist for
her farewell was not prepared for in
fants in the art OF listening to music.
tions OF Brahms constituted the first
group. There were two ballades. two in
termezzi, romance. waltz and a
rhapsody Schuberts sonata In d
major, Chopin's f minor fantasia and
Schumann's "Etudes Symphoniques"
were the other numbers Such q pro-
gram was likely to tax the receptive
tower of any but a devoted lover Of the
most serious piano music. II
Nine. New carried away with her the
admiration of all such concert goers.
She leaves behind her recollections OF a
performer OF what may be called typical
German superiority. The typical quality
of her playing is racial and national.
Breadth of view, profundity OF concep-
ton, high dignity of style and absence
CT merely sensuous effect for its own
sake have characterized all her recitals.
She plays poetically at times, but yet
would nVt properly be-. .classed among
romantic pianists. InDlectuality pre-
dominates in her art
She rises occasionally to lofty levels
or utterance and at all times she shows
feeling for the potentialities OF piano
tone. but without ever developing these
to their fullest possible extent. 1t has
been said that her technic does not reach
to the limits OF contemporaneous re-
source. that she sometimes falls short
CT her own ideals by reason of incom-
pietely mastered mechanics. Perhaps
this Is true. But she is player OF
large style, OF strong personality and Of
scholarship. Her recitals have been very
interesting.
