A Lonely Place.
From the Spectator.

From the Spectator.
The leafiess trees, the untidy stack
Last rainy summer raised in haste,
Watch tho sky turn from fair to black.
And watch the river fill and waste.
But never footstep comes TO trouble
The seagulls in the new sown corn,
Or pigeons rising from late stubble.
And flashing lighter as they turn.
Or if a footstep comes 'tis mine,
Sharp on the road or soft on grass
Silence divides along my line,
And closes behind me as pass.
No other comes. no laborer
no cut his shaggy truss OF hay,
ITpon the road no traveller.
Day after day, day after day.
And even 7. when I come here,
Move softly on, subdued and still.
Lonely as death, though can hear
Men shouting on the other hill.
Day after day. though no one sees.
The lonely place no different seems.
The trees, the stack still images
Constant IN who can say whose

Gibraltar the Unsafe.
No Longer the Impregnable Strong.
hold 1t Once Was.
From tho Saturday Rev;eu

From the Saturday Rep;er.
The Importance Of the Straits of Gil
braltar to Britain cannot be overes;i-
mated. Eastern trade arrives In the
Mediterranean via tire Suez Canal. The
Black Sea and Caspian trade reach the
Mediterranean by the Dardanelles. We
take great interest in keeping the Suez
Canal and Dardanelles Open but if
shipping by these routes and the Medi-
terranean trade cannot pass the Straits
OF Gibraltar Britain must starve.
Gibraltar has been regarded as an
,mpregnahle fortress and secure naval
base which gave Us control of the
Straits. The war, however. taught US
that this is now a delusion. II Spain
were hostile the rock could be dominat ted
by long range guns and the doclSyard
destroyed. In any event, everything
that goes on there can be seen and
reported from Spain.
The rock has been proved useless as
an aircraft base. The only effective
reply to aircraft Is defensive aircraft.
and without an efficient air base at
Gibraltar not only could an enemy with
an air base within one hundred miles
destroy the dockyard and town by
bombing but any enemy who could get
an aircraft carrier-possibly submersi-
ble-within one hundred miles could
destroy It. Aircraft are now necessary
for control of the Straits.
The later stages Of the war proved
that shipping escorted by aircraft was
practically immune from submarine at
tack, yet the Straits Of Gibraltar were
used freely by enemy submarines.
largely because there was no suitable
aircraft tase. Service opinion now re-
CARDS Gibraltar as very second rate
base for Britain and would be glad to
see its exchanged for another where
there was more room for air stations,
maneuvers and supply.
Spain will never be In complete ac-
cord with us so long as we occupy Gil
braltar, and with her present difficulties
in Morocco would. 1t is believed. well
come an exchange Of Gibraltar for Ceuta
and her northern Moorish zone. 1t
would appeal to the Spanish people as
means o.. getting out of an unpopular
and costly adventure with prestige.
while regaining the rock which has
bulked so largely in her history. The
exchange would be greatly to our advan-
tage also. Ceuta Is a better naval and
military base than Gibraltar. There Is
space around Il for the cultivation OF
supplies, for maneuvers and exercise,
and there is also ample room for air
bases out OF sight and gun hre from
the sea.

Americas Wealth in Fruit.

In 1921, which on account of kill
ing frosts was a bad fruit year in
many parts of the country, the farm
value Of fruits and fruit products
in the United States was $525, ,OOO,-
900. This was s744,000.O0O under the
figures for 1920 and $755, 100000 un-
der those for 1919. Falling prices
hit the fruit growers as they hit
other farmers.
The tremendous shrinkage last
year in quantities of fruit produced
as compared with other years is re-
vealed by a few records. OF apples
1921 brought only 96.Ss1 900 bushels
as compared with 223,677, 900 bushels
in 1920; peaches dropped from 49,
100000 bushels in 1920 to 32,73S 900
bushels in 1921; pears from 1896, 900
bushels TO 10,705,0Oo bushels. The
estimated value OF fruit crops in
three years was:
Grapes sioo SOC. 900 sio5, 600 600 SOS, SOC, 900
fruits. 4ss.ooo.ooo 442 100000 27i 900. 900
Small
fruits. es.ooo.ooo e9.ooo,ooo 7i.5oo.ooo
Subtropic
fruits. s4.ooo.ooo so.Oo0.oco 100000
Fruit products of farms Of which
estimates are made by the United
States Department OF Agriculture are
grape juice, raisins. apple cider, apple
cider vinegar and dried fruits. The
value of these products in 1919 was
500, 1000, 900. In 1921 the estimated
value was ss6,0O0.0O0.
Orchard fruits-chiely apples. april
cots, peaches. pears. plums and
prunes-dominate other fruits in
value. The estimated value of or
chard fruits and products in 1921 was
s271, 100000, or 50 per cent. of the
value of all fruits and fruit products.
The subtropical fruits, chiefly or
apges, follow in order of value with
$4,000, 900, or IL per cent. of the
fruit total; next are the small fruits,
mostly Strawberries and cranberries,
the estimated value OF which for 1921
IS S74,5o0, 900, or II per cent. of the
totsls Grapes and grape products are
estimated at s6s,5O0,Ooo, or 13 per
cent. Of the fruit total.
The fresh apple crop OF 1921, a
poor year for apples and some others
OF the orchard fruits. had an esti-
mated value OF s1e3.ooO,OO0. Oranges
stood next at s6i.O00.000. Peaches
were valued at s52,OOO,OOO. strawber.

Sonnet.

Last night the silence sang to me Of you
Ringing reverberations sweet and
clear
That TRANQUILITY upon my troubled ear
Fell like peal of bells when day is
through;
seemed to see your eyes OF brmming
blue
Blossom from out the darkness, seemed
to hear
Your voice, lyric love song, low
and near,
Fer night her scarf of ebony withdrew.
Now that day like brilliant butterfly
Spreads her frail wings Of sifted SAT-
from light
To soar across the sky in sudden
flight,
I raise my eyes to see you standing
where
I dreamed you stood; in you I can
descry
A song made visible, an answered
prayer.

Consumers Pay More.
Net Result of the Strikes In Coal
Mining Districts.

To THE New YoRK HERALD: was
born in the anthracite region. I have
lived and worked here more than nifty
years, and / know that the people who
have TO buy coal TO heat their homes
are the ones who suffer from the coal
strike
The miners do from four to fve hours
work a day The unions have so-called
button strikes in which hundreds will
strike Just because. say. three men work
without the union button. The men
do not realize that they are getting
more than any other class OF workmen
and that as long as miners wages stay
up above others manufacturing plants
and mills add Il to their prices TO the
consumer.
We used to get a long ton OF coal for
SO to burn in our homes. and now the
short ton costs us from $3.50 to s1o.75
right where IL is mined. Ex-MINER.

Inquiries recently made by persons
endeavoring to find opportunity for
Germans TO study in England have
brought to notice the fact that by stat
ute passed during the war all German
Rhodes scholarships were abolished
and the trustees received power to ap-
ply the funds to American and colonial
scholarships. This statute is still In
effect, and consequently no German
can now profit by the great bene.

pacity Of 4lo, ,ooo. 600, 600 gallons. Gre,

pacity OF 410, ,000, ,00O, 900 gallons. Crea-
tion of this large artificial lake would
wipe out sections of the towns OF
Enfield, Greenwich and Prescott /;
would drive more than 1000 persons
from their homes; destroy churches,
schools and miles of railroad and
highway.
This enterprise, large as it is. is
yet much more restricted in both
scope and effect on the surrounding
country than is the New Jersey prof.
ect. The New Jersey artificial lake
would be eighteen miles long and
cover sixty-one square miles; that OF
Massachusetts would cover thirty
nine square miles. In New Jersey
the inhabitants of 2,150 homes would
be evicted, involving population
double, If not treble, the 1000 who
would bo forced out of the Massachu-
setts homes.
In both cases the construction cost
and damage bills will of course run
into high figures. But that is more
or less secondary consideration.
Neither the New Jersey nor the Bos-
ton metropolitan district, with its
enormous industrial Importance, can
be permitted to suffer for lack Of
water.
The water necessities OF great cities
call for the exercise of the highest
engineering genius and the expendi-
ture Of stupendous sums. The Croton
and Catskill systems supplying New
York city cost much money, but they
are protitmakers for the city.

French Women Who Prefer Home

To THE NEW YORK HERALD: Having

say it Is painful for foreigners to see

they are too busy working. Therefore
il is useless to call other nations back

Sam Gompers at the Bat.

Sam Compers at the Bat.
SAM GoMPERs has been at the bat
two days hand running in his vocal
game of putting all the crimes, evils
and hardships OF mankind up to the
money power" If LENINE's Soviet
Government is recognized by the
Genoa conference SAM GoMPEgs says
il Will be simply another audacious
conspiracy of predatory interna-
tional finance hungry for loot in
Russia" But SAM GoMpERs does not
stop to explain why Russian Soviet
ism is more abhorrent to him than it
is to the capitalism it has pillaged
and destroyed all over Russia.
SAM GoMPERs does not want to 60
into that. What he does want to do
is to tune up for his annual campaign
of bidding for labor union votes for
reelection as president of the Ameri-
can Federation OF Labor.
With the same purpose and in the
same spirit SAM GoMPERs declares
the financial interests of this country
"concocted the industrial depression
to enslave American workmen." If
this were not so. SAM GoMPERs de-
mands, how could the financial pow
ers ignore the fact that widespread
unemployment cuts down the coun
try's buying power?
| puf utho,, Gar GNHprpc and nf I, ~
professional labor union politicians
resist the inevitable defiation of sky
high war costs they contribute moth
ing to the solution OF the economic
problem; they make for unemploy-
ment and for weakened buying
power in the national markets.
SAM GoMPERs has the brains to
know, and il he were not always bid
labor union votes to reelect him to
the presidency Of his federation he
might have the honesty to say, that
what creates unemployment is high
production cost that makes it impos-
sible to sell what labor is employed
to produce.
SAM GoMPERs knows that what
causes such prohibitive production
costs is not merely the inflated wage
scale that is insisted upon by the
union labor politicians. He knows
that contributory cause is the fail
ure. too often deliberate, of their mis-
guided and deluded followers to turn
out the work they ought to turn out
as the fair measurement of an able
bodied workman's capacity to pro-
duce.
SAM GoMPERs knows that such
labor inefficiency, at whatever wage
scale, makes it impossible for an en-
ployer thus handicapped by his ex-
cessive labor costs to sell his goods
in an intensely competitive field
against the goods of another employer
who even at the same wage scale
does get fair and square return OF
product for the wage he pays.
And SAM GoMPERs knows that
when an employer cannot sell the
goods that he is paying his employees
to produce for him, cannot sell them
abroad or at home, he has to quit
making the goods. He knows that
this is what forced colossal unem.
ployment among his union followers
when the war was ended but when his
federation Of unions would not agree
that war conditions too must be
ended. He knows that it is what
hamstrung the country's buying
power, since industries cannot buy
in the form Of raw materials what
they cannot sell in the form of fin
ished products, just as their unem.
ployed workers cannot spend what
they do not get.
But SAM GoMpERs, hunting for the
votes of the agitators' dupes, does
not want or does not dare to tell
! this simple truth.
