MORE LLOYD GEORGE TONIC.

A N outline of the Russian problem to date,
"A CHEEKY hope that the reports of the
various commissions at Genoa will have good
effect on trade, transportation, tariffs, eurrencies,
&c. a brief but eloquent eulogy Of the Genoa
Conference as showing the deep, passionate
anxiety of the nations represented to have peace"
with no more than that Lloyd George won from
the House of Commons vote of 235 to 26 for
what amounted to an expression of confidence.
Who but Lloyd George could have done it?
Who but Lloyd George can anayze difficulties and
failures so engagingy as to arouse new spirit to
overcome them1
Perhaps the most ingenious thing he did was to
contrive to leave an impression that the Russian
memorandum that broke up the conference was
due to date-that May demonstrations in
Russia were what caused the Russian representa-
tves at Genoa to become intractable and mail
their flag to the barren fig tree of communism"
He thinks the Soviet delegates who come to The
Hague will come in chastened mood, prepared
to give compensation, concessions and bonds in
return for the credits they ask.
He is hopeful of The Hague, delighted with the
truce and convinced that we have already cap
tured positions from which further advance can
be made"
1t is easy to let in gloom on the picture. 1t is
easy to take Lloyd George to pieces and frown
over the dismantled parts.
But who is rash enough to deny that Lloyd
George is the most tonic influence in the world
to-day in places where and at moments when such
influence is most needed2

NNLY twenty-three persons were present yes
" terday when the Transit Commission opened
its public hearing on proposed alternative routes
for rapid transit subways under the Narrows or
New York Bay between Brooklyn and Staten
Island
Was The Evening World doing an unnecessary
thing in calling for more public interest in the
commissions transit plans1
Here is project of far-reaching Importance to
the eity's traction development The plan has
behind it the expert study of the only body that
has comprehensive and authoritative grasp of
transit needs. And not two dozen citizens care
enough about it TO attend public hearing!
No wonder Chairman McAneny adjourned the
hearing to June and asked for Paul Revere to
ride through Richmond Borough and wake up the
people to an interest in their own concerns.
The Hylan scheme of combined freight and
passenger tunnel to Staten Island is dsapproved
by the citys own engineers. There is no provision
for proper connections for the Hylan tunnel at
either end And there is grave doubt, as the legis-
lative act of 1921 now reads, whether if the city
built the Hylan tunnel, it could even trains in
it under the plan of municipal operation the
Mayor proposes.
1t is incredible that all Richmond is ready to
take, without looking anything Mayor Hylan says
is good for it.
The Transit Commission has declared itself
prepared to enter into any manner of practicable
cooperation that will give the Borough of Rich
mond its much needed transit relief"
ez. The Transit Commission tunnel plan would cost
$20,000000 and connect at both ends with the rest
Cof the transit system.
The Hylan tunnel would cost $oo.0OO,Ooo, be
doubtful of its connections and quite possibly
have no trains in it.
Are Staten Islanders in doze or daze?

witnesses we're confused and identified the wrong
persons. The Police Judge rubbed his eyes and
was unable to distinguish between the two pris-
oners, and the legal tangles are not yet ended
No doubt the incident will suggest new crop Of
double" stories by aspiring writers of fiction.
But bewarel Editors will view the yarns with
cold and unfeeling eye, even if accompanied by
clippings of the news story on which the plot
is based
Doubles" are not true to life. They no
longer belong in fiction. Doubles are too improb-
able. They only happen in fact.

Among the interesting exhibits at

elephant of the circus, that once

OF Nathaniel Brewster. and bought by
Prof. John c. Warren OF the Harvard
Medical School for his private col

lived so long before Newburgh gave
a Governor to New York. that 1t Is
Impossible to determine the date of
his birth. the length of his life or the

creature with long tusks and heavy
covering OF hair that enabled him to

DOUBLE CRISSCROSS.

IN all the comment on the Daugherty case one
significant chain of events seems to have es-
capped attention.

Daugherty's anger over Morse's failure to pay for
his release suggests reason for the whole exposure.

charges against Morse Morse-pleadng illness

Daugherty, who forced his return.

Morse files.
If Daugherty is waging grudge fight against
Morse, what more natural than that Morse should
fight back in kind?

xIX.-HoW AN INVENTION
KILLED AN INDUSTRY.

KILLED AN INDUSTRY.
The disappearance Of the whaling
fleet from the Arctic Seas is an in
teresting story. 1t happened almost
overnight, because somebody in civil
lied latitudes discovered a substitute
for whalebone.
But even the substitute was not
destined to have clear sailing. 1t had
hardly established itself on the
market when the women of the world
gave it a collective slap in the face
by refusing to wear anything near the
amount of bone" in their corsets
and other costumes they used to.
Back in 1906 the bowhead whale
hunters were making fortunes by VEN
turing into Arctic Seas and coming
back with huge cargoes of the sub
stance for which they thought there
could be no substitute.
There are about 1000 pounds Of
bone" in large bowhead. One OF
the largest catches was sixty-three
whales in two seasons by a single
ship. At 81 or $5 a pound that rep
resented a fortune for the owners, the
commander and the crew on the basis
Of a proportionate share in the catch.
Other vessels caught similar car
goes. Everybody was getting rich on
the spouting denizens of the deep.
The risk was regarded as amply COM
pensated for by the results. II
whaler never returned, the loss of ship
and crew was regarded as part of the
game.
The invention of the commercial
substitute brought the price from -
or IS a pound to 80 or 40 cents.
| That brought the price of a big bow
head whale down from SIS, 900 or even
100000 to from $400 to $500.
That, of course, knocked the bot
| tom clean out of the industry. The
whaling feet vanished from the
| Arctic Seas in a year. .
Vilhjalmur Stefansson, the Arctic
explorer, who has clear-cut views on
the problem of feeding the, world, 10
authority for the statement that
Arctic whaling is not likely to be re-
/ sumed except for fertilizer or for
| food.
| And he is very much for the re-
sumption of whaling as a source Of
food supply. He says:
There are several countries now
where whale meat is considered good
to eat. If we do not care to accus-
| tom ourselves to whale meat, interna-
tional arrangement might be made
so that people who already like 1t can
get it, leaving that much more beef
and pork for the others.
THAT money can be made through
turning whale steaks into fertilizer
should not be argument enough for
such waste of food.
| THE chemists have learned to
make fertilizer out of the air. but
steaks are as yet beyond their
power"
| Which reads like horse sense.

Enthusiasms Compared.

To the Editor of The Evening World
If it is true, as "Prohibitionist"
states, that portion of the audience
at Madison Square Garden, May 3,
was composed of dry" sympathizers,
this may explain why a number of
persons walked out while Samuel
Gompers was speaking toward the
close of the meeting, so that this
premedltated act might have a dis
heartening effect on those who re-
manned. More than one person that
night suspected that this was the
work of the Prohibitionists.
1t may be that some Prohibition
lists attended the Madison Square
meeting to ascertain what the "other
side" had to say, and If they were
able to respond to the appeal of rea-
son, logic and justice they should
have been properly impressed and
enlightened.
The writer recently heard William
Jennings Bryan speak at the Marble
Collegiate Church here in favor of
Prohibition, under the auspices of the
National Temperance Society. and it
is probably safe 20 say that he was
the only Anti-Prohlbitionist present.
Mr.. Bryan and the other speakers at
tempted to stir only the emotions,
with the usual puerile Prohibition
sentimentality, to the general effect
that alcohol alone is responsible for
all the ills of humanity. 1t did not
seem TO occur to any OF the speakers
that beer or wine might be benetici-
ally used in moderation. Perhaps, as
one of the speakers stated. there have
| been cases where babies have been
born blind on account of the excessive
use of alcohol by one of the parents,
but to infer that this inevitably hap

WHAT SHOULD BE SETTLED POLICY.

2 IN the last few days almost every newspaper in

raid on Jacob Riis Park by the Navy Department.
Civic and social organizations have adopted
resolutions of condemnation. No one has good
& word 10 say for the scheme,
This is reflection of something wrong. No
such wave of protest should be required. The
past record of the city is what makes necessary the
present outcry.
The fact is New York ought TO have park
policy so we'll established that the question need
never have aroused public attention. If Secretary
DENLY made such proposal it should go TO the
proper authorities and as a matter of routine, be
returned with a polite. prompt and irrevocable

But the situation is not without encouraging
features The very unanimity of public opinion
in opposition to this raid is an indication that the
city is gaining toward policy that will handle

WHERE DID YOU GET
THAT WORD?
17o--CAM PAIGN.

The word campaign is an admirable
illustration of the changes in the
meaning of words in the course of
centuries.
Originally a campaign Uatin cam
pania' and Italian "campagnaO
meant a wide-open country, a plain
without hills or mountains.
In such territory military move
ments were carried on TO tbE'r con-
clusion, either in victory or defeat,
followed by a lull in the hostilities.
From this plain on which military
operations were carried out the word
began, in the English language at
least TO mean the operations them
selves.
And from that military use came
our use of campaign" to designate
a political or other contest carried
out to its conclusion.

To the Editor OF The Evening World:
A teacher OF lip reading in the
West has written the following let
ter to hard of hearing or deafened
persons in her city:
Lip reading turns physical
handicap into a mental achievement.
IL your deafness makes any differ
ence in your ability to understand
spoken language you are deaf enough
to need lip reading. People who read
the lips do not consider their deaf
ness an affliction. Remember. If a
deafened person would succeed he
must be more efficient than his COM
petitor with good hearing. Lip
reading will increase your efficiency
100 per cent.
Except for missing music, have
almost forgotten that l cannot hear,
is what one lip reader says. Don't
you owe it to your family and your
friends to make communication with
you as easy as possible? No one
need be useless because of deafness
in these days of lip reading. Give
YOURSELF chance to enjoy life by
learning to listen with your eyes.
