Won MOLTKE FIRST
TO GO under RULE
OF WILHELM'S WIFE
fRy Associated Press


DOORN, Holland, Dec. 1.-The first
change in the kaiser's household since
Princess Hermine took over the reins
is the departure of Count Won Moltke,
the court marshal
1.-THE new empress has signifed her
intention of instituting regime which
will be directly opposed to the policies
of Won Moltke.
The dispute between Princess Her
mine and the retiring marshal is said
to have arisen over the question oil
whether the kaiser should confine him
self to Doom castle. The former EN-
peror's bride favored more freedom
of movement for her husband, but this
was contrary to the wishes of Won
Moltke, who is regarded as respon
sible for the virtual Imprisonment O.
Wilhelm within the garden walls.

Princess Hermine and her youngest
daughter take daily walks outside OF
thescastle grounds and she has appear

The kaiser has been frequently seen
with her in parts of the grounds and

regime that is probably traceable tC
Princess Hermine's influence is the
prospective departure of Dr. Haze

CHICAGO. Dec. 1.-Benevolent .righ-

the American people, according to
General Feng Yu Hsiang, as quoted by
Rev. T. E, Luni. Protestant Episcopal

Rev. Mr.. Lund, while visiting Epis-

that the general had rechristened the
American by adding feo (benevolencel

used as an appellation for an Ameri-

An American and friend of anoth-
er nationality were travelling in the
mountains of Shensi. a province gov

Lund. "They engaged in controver-
sy with natives and appealed to Cen
eral Feng for redress. He. declared
their passports inadequate and asked
why they did not seek his authority
for their expedition.
American Man Apologies
'The American gentleman apologiz
ed, but his companion made sharp re
tort and proceeded to argue the point
The next day General Feng invited
the two gentlemen to dinner. He was
anxious to come to a friendly under
standing with his two guests, but only
on the ground that they would ack
nowledge his position as technically
correct In this he succeeded only
with the American, but he was visibly
annoyed by the other. The CONVEX

look upon the face Of this American
gentleman and forgive you pointing
to his campanion. He then turned t.

ignoring the Amendment

To the Editor of The Tribune.
Sir: A "mere woman" asks whether
or not she should become a lawbreaker,
referring to prohibition. She is quite
right in her assumption that the law
should be enforced.
Every man and woman who takes a
drink of liquid containing more than
one-half Of 1 per cent Of alcohol is
lawbreaker and criminal, according to
our law to-day. If they were put in
jail with other lawbreakers the few peo-
pie that were not in Jail would be kept
quite busy supporting the Criminals"
If legislators keep on passing pro-
hibitive laws, each one more drastic
than the other, there would eventually
come point when even mere woman"
would refuse to obey. 4 great many
people believe that point was reached
with the Eighteenth Amendment. They
do not drink to break the Iaw-they
simply refuse to recognize as law
that which minority passed through
Congress when million soldier voters
were away defending the nation.

The Miners s Year

The charge has been made bv some
of the coal operators that the coal
mining industry is almost 100 Der
cent overmanned. They blame this
factor for much of the irregularitv
IN the number Of working davs q
year in the different mining regions
Statistics for 1920, for example
show an average working year in
oituminous fields of 220 days and in
anthracite fields of 271 davs. These
averages are lower in some districts
and higher In others, certain areas
running as high as 307 working davs
and others as low as 1873. In bad
years the average has fallen as low
as ITO working days at some mines.
Allowing for fifty-two SUNDAYS
and thirteen holidays, the normal
working year, if Saturdays be in
cluded, is 300 days. If the number
OF holidays be increased for religious
and other festivals the working wear
Will be reduced to about 285 days.
Even at this rate, however, which
permits a generous allowance of holi-
days, the bituminous workers in 1920
averaged sixty-five idle days during
which most other industries vera
working full time. In some regions
Il
this period of enforced idleness was
as high as one hundred days.
That there is need for readiust-
ment of this situation is obvious. The
charge that the unions wish only to
recruit and maintain the largest pos
slole membership is easily made but
less easily proved, It is against the
best interests of the miners delber-
ately to enlist so many men in an in
dustry that half Of them must suffer
from unemployment while the other
half work, On the other hand to
blame the operators for not emplov-
ing more men is unfair without full
consideration OF the problem Of stor-
age and transportation at the given
mine. To store coal in large guam
titles at the mines has been found
uneconomical, and in normal seasons
there is often shortage of cars for
hauling the coal to the distributing
centorS.
The public has been kept too much
in the dark about the whole indus
try. 1t cannot thrust aside the i'm
preston that information has been
withheld by both sides. And being
IN interested party, as vitalIy affect
ed by paralysis Of the industry as
both the operators and the miners, it
is entitled TO accurate information.

a certain hairdresser to desert it for
Flfty-seventh Street, where he finds
the "atmosphere de luxe that the

On The Avenue these institutions
take on moro eloquent air; they
appear in a sublimated form. The

juggling with all the flourish Of a

stacked in huge cascading pyre

Ceres than the advertisement of the

have called forth more gorgeous

Who is so rash as to say that these

More Bonus RippodYomi.,e

The House passed the bonus-ro-
election bill by a vote Of more thaa
four to one. The reelection feature
was the more potent in producing
this result. Every Representative
who supported the bill can now lay
his hand on his heart and declare
that he did his best for the soldier
voter. If the soldier doesn't get a
bonus the said Representative will
claim that it is somebody else's fault
The House has made it's record
and weight is off its mind. The
bill it approved was one to relieve
the campaign cares of congressman
rather than to provide adjusted COM
pensation for the war veterans.
Much was done by the House, in
fact, to hinder the passage Of any
real bonus legislation at this session.
President Harding told the Congress
sioAal leaders that he would sign a
bonus measure which paid its own
way. He said that he would not op-
pose a bill coupled with a sales tax.
but would oppose any other. The
House leaders, however, were afraid
to impose a sales tax or any other
kind OF tax, and decided to go
through the motions of giving the
soldiers something while leaving the
problem Of furnishing the where
withal suspended in the air. The
House bill offers the bencfciarics
deferred note and avoids breaking
the news to any group Of taxpayers
that they will have to meet it. The
only quick assets in sight are those
which Congressional candidates for
reelection expect to realize on pri-
mary and election days.
The bill now goes to the Senate.
Only a third Of the Senators 90 out
of office March next, and not ali Of
these will try foy reelection. The
bonus problem may, therefore, be
treated from now on in more OBJ
jective spirit. IF the Senate faces
its responsibility courageously it will
not pass the House bill. At the
worst the measure will be amended
and thrown into conference, where it
should stick for a long time. Presi-
dent Harding has given notice that
ne will veto anything but a sales tax
bonus bill. The country is with him
on this proposition. Aeitated Con-
gressmen who have now got what
they personally wanted out of the
bonus will hardly care to invite a
real showdown with him.

The Flury Ouer "Ciuic Virtue
By Almer Curtis Sanborn

CD That it is reversion to pagan
ideals.
To any one above the grade Of
moron 1t seems impossible that such
piale could have been uttered; but the
objections arc quoted verbatim. One
might have some understanding Of the
uDroar If there we're anything reyolu-
tionary in MacMonnies's conception;
but, as a matter Of fact, he has pre-
sented his idea quite in the classical
manner.
From the beginning of time man has
been the symbol Of strength. and
woman, or more often a mermaid, has
been the symbol OF temptation, just as
firm minded woman has served TO
represent justice and man with horns
and a tail has been the epitome of all
evil. Until now none Of US, men or
women, have taken these symbols as a
personal insult. Why should we be-
come SO sensitive at this late date?
Moreover, we cannot afford to throw
symbolism overheard in a fit Of pas-
sion. Symbolism is the foundation Of
the Joy of lie. Without it Homer
would never have given US most q the
fine passages Of the Odyssey nor
could Milton have written Paradise
Lost" Wagner's soul could have
scared no higher than jazz. Phidias
would have been G bricklaycr Must
we scorn the best in literature because
Ulysses was tempted by sirens and
Satan had the form of q man? The
women who called on Mayor Hylan
have lost their perspective.
Surely our school children of TODAY
are not endowed with SO little in
telligence that thsy will suddenly be
corrupted by time-honored symbols
which served to put poetry into the
souls of their ancestors. But if they
are thus susceptible it will not be the
MacMonnies statue Of virtue in the
form Of man trampling on vice
masQuerading as woman which will
New-York tribune., 1922-03-25

Back in the dark hours OF the Middle
Ages which preceded the dawn of the
modern era Roman mob stoned
Michelangelos statue Of David and
dragged it through the streets Of the
Eternal City because they considered
the statue an insult to their religion.
People took their religion seriously in
medieval times.
To-day we smile supcrciliously at
their Observation-Disclosures and in
tolerance. We laugh outright at their
absurdity in maltreating mere
statue in defense Of their faith. And
Yet only last Wednesday a mob Of
women invaded the New York City Hall
and loosed its wrath against statue
of "Civic Virtue" because they con-
sidered it an insult to American
womanhood
1t is not on record that any believer
repudiatcd the faith of his fathers
after contemplating Michelangelo's
pected to believe that any one gazing
upon the MacMonnies group will be
moved to return home and beat his
mother.
This work of art shows Civic Virtue,
strong, lusty youth, trying TO throw
off the snaras and temptations of Vice,
which is represented by mcrmaids. He
pushes them relentlessly aside and
with one foot has already reached the
solid ground of righteousness, 1t Is a
mastery Interpretation executed by q
master hand.
Yet these women have denounced
the statue on three counts:
% That it is degrading to woman
hood because it presents man as a
symbol Of virtue and woman as a
symbol of vice.
(2) That it will corrupt the morals
of school children by setting before
them the idea of woman tempting man
from the path of virtue.
