Louis on Michelangelo.
"My Genius Is as Great as His" the
New Yorker SAYS.

To THE NEW YORK HERALD: After
conversing with an Italian sculptor some
weeks ago on the greatness of Michel
angelo it came to me to ask the ques-
ton why such and such an artist should
he singled out and placed upon ped
estal. He answered. Who can equal our
divine sculptor and painter in one?
Well. / said that it Is not necessary
that any other artist should. Michel
angelo is himself in fact, could not De
otherwise, because he had special gifts
for which we others crave but need not
exactly possess to work out our own
aptitude in art.
Then the further thought occurred to
me- the old masters are not the only
artists in the art world. Living artists.
some of them, have the same genius but
are not recognized because no one Is
brave enough to speak of them as mas
ters no one takes the time TO study
their works as interestedly. and no one
is DESTROYS to buy and own one for
himself
Now any artist who creates works

genius is the same. Therefore let the
critics extol the other living creators
in the same terms of euIogy. But this

Coal as Treasure Trove.

Given fuel shortage anybody who
goes to the theatre or looks at comic
drawings is certain TO meet with
jokes about the coal supply. The
conventions Of the coal joke guild OF
humorists are very rigid. Nothing
new is permitted to invade their field !;
and when it is considered how well
the good old jokes go the guild APP
pears to be Wise in its conservation
of material. In fact this matter of
saving and keeping points a moral in
itself, and that is a basic element Of
all true humor.
But what writer of a libretto
for vaudeville or musical comedy
what artist sketching out comic
strip, ever thought of anything so alb
surd as a man fitting out dredging
expedition in search of coal? Yet

Marriage Not Eternal.

TO THE NEW York HERALD: In your
report of my sermon at st. Marks-in-
the Bouwerio you make me affirm
Christ made IL clear that His ideal OF
marriage was one man for one woman
for eternity"
should be grateful II you would
correct this statement, for in fact ]
stated directly the opposite. which was
that Christ made II clear that His ideal
Of marriage was one man for one woman
until death broke the bond of matrl-
mony."
This thought developed at length.
Not only is there no reference In any
passage in the New Testament to the
idea of the bond of matrimony continu-
ing after death but Christ clearly states
where in the Gospel that in the
world of spirit there Is neither marry
ing nor giving in marriage.

Liquor on Ships.
The Daugherty Decision in the Light
Of Laws of the Sea.

To THE NEW YORK HERALD "A few
pages of ancient history afford inter
esting reflections upon the ruling against
liquors brought into American ports
under foreign flags and not for impor-
tation, but for use only on the high
seas.
The purveyance of wine to the King =
use from all ships was enjoyed by the
kings of England from time out of mind
as "a Flower of the Kingdom, and by
some conceived not grantable away

an increase of customs, in lieu of which
he granted the merchants many I'M
munities. including release of prisagc
as the duty was called 1t was not due
till the unlading or breaking of bulk.
Edward III. granted over this privilege
TO the Mayor, community and citizens
of London, but the benefit Of discharge
appears to have depended on residence
in London town. BY "a Il. 6, a pri-
vate act of Parliament, the privilege of
discharge was expressly denied to
stranger citizens of London. The priv
iege was refused to wines imported on
foreigners ships since the importations
were not bona civium." Prisage was
not due~except there was intent to I'M
load the foreigners ship laden with
wines.
Closely allied to this duty was but
Ierage, a custom due from merchant
strangers upon wine brought into the
kingdom. Thus King John granted to
the merchants of Aquitaine. importers
of wine to England, a release from
these impositions. But again it was the
breaking of bulk which entitled the
King to duty upon the cargo. though
but part had been unloaded.

A hitherto unpublished letter written
peace and war and the best way 10
secure peace. was presented last night to
the Sulgrsve Institution of the United
States and publicly read at dinner in
the Hotel Bltmore.
The principal speaker at the dinner
was Sir Auckland Geddes. British AM
bassador TO the United States, who de-
clared that the official and unofficial
relations between Britain and America
are better this year than ever in the
past.
The Washington letter. a facsimile
of which. handsomely bound, was the
dinner souvenir, was written on Janu-
airy 20, 1880, while Washington was with
the army at Morristown. 1t was ad-
dressed to the Hon. Elbridge Gerry. and
was presented last night through the
generosity of Sir Charles Cheers Wake
field Bart. e, b. e., honorary treasurer
Of the Sulgrave Institution of Great
Britain. Sir Charles, who was Lord
Mayor OF London in the critical years
OF 1915-16, was one of the guests at the
dinner and made an address. seconding
the Ambassadors pledges of abiding
amity and friendship.
The Washington letter follows:
Hdds. MoRRrsTowN. Goth Jan. so
Dear Sir: | received your obliging
letter of the 18th. | am sorry to fnd
that Congress had not at that time made
any acquisitions of men from the States,
as it appears to me that the army with
out reinforcements, by the expiration of
the inlstment of so many men and of
the service of the new levies as they
than will be compatible with our inter-
ests & policy. 1t was in part from the
probability that snsh- an idea as the
one you suggest to have obtained with
some, might take place, that / was in

between an army on Paper & its real

ginning of the contest to the present

Governor Miller's Savings.

Governor MILLER has proved him.
self in the last twenty-one months an
able business manager of the business
affairs of the 100000 stockholders
in the great business corporation OF
the State of New York-the ablest
business manager the State ever has
had. He is now revealing himself as
an able election campaigner, with his
clear, simple, forceful way of putting
before the voters the difference be-
tween the way he has done his work
for the 100000 stockholders in the
business corporation Of the State OF
New York and the way his predeces-
sor did his work for the 11,00O,O0O
stockholders in the business corpora
ton of the State of New York.
Nobody could draw the contrast
more plainly and strikingly than Gov
Iernor MILLER drew it at Utica on Mon
day evening in few words. After
showing that in the last year of Gov
eI HOI oMllh > duIilhiStidtAoh ~"'i
100000 was taken out of the pockets
of the people in new taxes he said:
WE took out of the taxpayers
pockets last year s23,5oo,ooO less
than was taken out the year before.
HE [sMITHl says we dipped into
the surplus. We did take two MIL
lions out of the surplus, and 1t was
not his surplus either. The last time
the books were balanced under him
the surplus was s31 ,Oo0 900. The first
/ time they were balanced under this
administration, after we had been in
six months, it was s43, 100000. And
one of the reasons 1t was s4S,000,o00
was that we did not spend 100000
that his administration had appropri-
ated."
And, in spite of spending less, the
Miller administration doubled high
way construction, made a concrete
start ON development of the public
water power, by the State and vlgor-
ously pushed the dredging and deep
ening of the barge canal.
1t is in this way Governor MILLER
is putting it up to the voters of the
State of New York that 1t is for them
to decide whether they want to go
on with an administration which does
things but saves the taxpayers money,
or whether they want to go back to
an administration which did not do
things and wasted the taxpayer
money.

The pitcher can disarm a great hitter

The Balkans and Turkey.

One of the developments in the
Near East which has become APP
parent during the progress of the
Mudania conference is that France
cannot depend with that implicit con-
fidence which she earlier, expressed
on the cooperation of the Balkan
States. Her understanding with Jugo-
Slavia and Rumania in a measure
grew out of the Fiume incident and
had for it's purpose the protection OF
the States east of the Adriatic against
the aggressive economic policy of the
Italians. At that time there was nc
indication of situation in which the
Balkan States would be expected to
help their hereditary enemy, the Turk.
to return to Europe.
There still remains a considerable
Turkish, or rather Moslem, popula-
ton in the Balkans. 1t is larger
in Jugo-Slavia than in any other of
the States because the Serbian rule
extends over territory recently re-
covered from the Sultan. IN Bosnia
the Moslems were the strongest re-
ligious element, and although they
were mostly Serbs they were, as is
often the case with converts, among
the greatest oppressors of the Chris
tians. Many Mohammedans moved
to the Sanjak of Novi Bazaar when
Austria took over the sovereignty
az Bosnia and later many of these
emigrated to Anatolia when the San
jak came under Serbian rule
So long as the Turks were not a
power in Europe these Moslems were
easily controlled. Now. however, with
the evidences before them of KEN Al 8
growth in strength. they are appeal
ing to him for liberation from Ser
bian domination. This Mohammedan
defiance Of the Government has
greatly increased the troubles Of Jugo-
Slavia in Bosnia and Macedonia.
Both of these provinces have been
very reluctant to accept the rule OF
the new kingdom and the Govern
ment is preparing to meet the difficult
ties of the present situation.
Besides this Serbia sees new
peril in Bulgaria, for she believes
that as soon as KEMAL is established
at Constantinople he will attempt to
regenerate Bulgaria by opening up
way for her to the Egean Sea. He
would thus erect State between
Turkey and the Danube and at the
same time build, up formidable
rival to Greece and Serbia. Here is
no doubt the explanation of the mo-
bilizaton of Serbian forces at Uskub
and OF Serbias demand for a port at
Salonika.
Uskub is the northern terminus Of
the railroad from Salonika north
ward through the Vardar valley. At
the end of the Balkan war Greece
granted to the Serbs the separate use
of part of the Salonika harbor. The
world war, however, prevented the
completion Of the plans of develop
ment Greece is very likely to make
the same concessions now in view %
the fact that she is not herself able
TO improve this port. And what is
still more important. she will by this
