Mazzin; and Margaret Fuller.

Fifty years ago last Friday Cru
sEppE MAzzINI, the Italian patriot
and one of the outstanding figures in
the revolutionary movement which
brought about the present Kingdom
OF italy, died at Pisa. At Rome Sun
day republican associations paraded
under the red standards of Carl
BAr.DI in tribute to the memory Of
MAzzINI, his friend and coworker.
Other italian cities have undertaken
memorial services, the most notable
of which will be the observance to-
day at Pisa OF the anniversary of
his funeral in that city on March
IA, 1872.
The bitterness of the political con-
troversy over those stern revolution
airy days has been in fifty years
sufficiently forgotten for people to
recognize in MAzzINr a national pa
triot who at the cost or many self
denials ungrudgingly devoted his life
to the cause of Italy's freedom. His
career was that of many other ideal
lists and dreamers fired by patriot
ism; by his impractical ideals he at
times more retarded than advanced
the course of events to the goal
which he himself sought.
The instructions at both Man
tua and Milan which he planned
were failures. He was twice SEN
fenced to death, he was imprisoned
at Gaeta, he was frequently com
pelled to flee from Italy and seek
refuge in London or Switzerland.
When at last he was permitted to
return to Pisa he was broken in
health and spirit. He was never
reconciled to a monarchy in Italy.
II bow my head sorrowfully to the
sovereignty of the national will" he
wrote, but monarchy will never
number me among its servants or
followers" He lived to see CAvoUR's
craftsmanship make Italian unity an
accomplished fact.
Looking back through these fifty
years IL seems a strange coincidence
that the tragedy Of the career OF this
ardent and intense man should give
tragic tinge to the life of one OF
Americas most brilliant women,
MARGARET FULLER. She early took a
lively interest in the Italian struggle
for independence. To her MAzzrNr
arose az its most commanding and
attractive figure. He was to her the
only real prophet OF the struggle.
II was their common devotion to
MAzzrNI and the cause Of the revolu.
tion that drew her and Marquis
Osso1G into companionship and even.
tually brought about their mar
riage. She refused to leave Rome
when the city was besieged, and
while her husband fought on the
walls she, at MAzzrNfs request, took
charge OF one of the hospitals and
performed heroic service. When the
city fell she and her husband fled
first to the mountains OF Abruzzi and
then to Florence. MAzzrrr became o
fugitive with a pr4ce on his head.
They sailed from Leghorn fog

England's Betting Code.

The betting practices followed in
England for many years made it COM
paratively easy for Captain OWEN
PEEL to defraud the bookmakers
through the false timing of kilograms
placing money on race. BY long
distance telephone confederate
learned that Paragon had won the
race for the Duke Of York Stakes at
Kempton Park last October, and Cap
tain PEEL induced an aged village
postmaster to put false filing time
on kilograms addressed to bookmak-
ers, so as to make it appear that
the messages were sent before the
race was run, not after 1t had been
won. In other words, he actually did
what wiretappers pretend to do when
they swindle gullible persons.
Another circumstance which helped
to make the fraud successful was the
fact that Captain PEEL had good social
standing and fine war record. The
amount won by him was $17,500.
When the first suspicion of irregular
ity was expressed by those who had
lost on the race he said that rather
than rest under charge of wrong.
doing he would return the money.
This action, English accounts Of
the affair say, made friends for him,
and 1t is possible that he might have
escaped with merely tarnished rep
utation had not the postal authorities
taken the matter up. The fact that
he had made tool of the aged post
master was an offense which the Gov
ernment would not overlook and his
prosecution was ordered.
The case came to trial recently and
attracted wide attention because it
was the first criminal prosecution Of
Importance which had arisen from
betting in a number Of years. Cap
tain PEEL pleaded guilty. Mrs. PEEL,
who was accused jointly with her
husband and who is a daughter of
one OF the best known of English
racing men, Sir ROBERT JARDINE, en-
tered plea of not guilty and will
be tried shortly.
Altogether the affair throws an in
teresting light on turf conditions in
England. Racing Is a fashionable
pastime there, though. it's patrons
come from every walk in life. The
betting system is founded on code
Of honor. Great sums are wagered
"on the nod" to use the English rae
ing term, or through the mails or by
telegraph. Settlements are made
every Monday.
Failure to settle betting debt is
one of the most serious social offenses
an Englishman can commit, and
the man who can pay and will not
is ostracized. 1t is an offense that
carries the severest penalties and its
memory follows an individual
through life. Under these circum.
stances the shock caused by the dis.
covery of the fraud carried out by
Captain PEEL can be understood.

uity. Experiments In trusting the well
fare of this region to inexperienced
hands cannot hope to achieve any greater
success than the experiments of Messrs.
Lenine and Trotzky in disregarding the
time honored principle Of continuity and

MALK1N,s PIANO RECITAL.

Manfred Malkin gave his second piano
recital Of the current season last eve
ming in Carnegie Hail. His program
was an all Chopin one. 1t included
the B flat minor sonata, a nocturne, the
ballade in r, the c sharp minor scherzo,
two mazurkas and the A flat polo
naise.
Mr.. Malkin Is a pianist whose color
palette is hardly rich enough to paint
the delicate or more sensuous tints of
Chopin's music. He prefers to draw his
lines clearly, sharply and with dynamic
force. His intelligence and fleet finger
work assisted him last night In a per-
formance of incisive outlines rather
than In one which was marked by poetic
and imaginative qualities. He was
warmly applauded by a large audience.

Nine Margaret NilfoloFic. pianist
new to New York. gave a recital yester-
day afternoon at Town Hall. She was
heard by a large audience. which
waited at tho end for encores. Her pro-
gram. IL not OF most comprehensive
scope. was unconventional In design and
Of interesting selection. 1t comprised
two "Intermezzi'' by Brahms. Chopin's
nocturne in G sharp minor and two
etudes. the prelude, Chorale and
Fugue" OF Cesar Franck: "Koechlins
Promenade vers Ia Mer." two Move
ments Perpetuels" by Poulenc. and. in
closing. group of pieces by Debussy.
Nine. Nikoioric's performance showed
her as being a player OF serious musical
purpose and possessed Of well poised
rather than impassioned style. She
played always with a normal piano tone.
her technic was commendable and her
rhythmical sense and phrasing were
good. Her playing Of Chopfns music
was generally pleasing IL not always de-
fined in character, and the same may
be said OF her Brahms readings. In the
Cesar Franck composition there was lack
of breadth with some tagging of tempo;
the fugue had clarity and the whole
work no little feeling. The artist was at
her best in the Debussy numbers, where
her tone coloring was always well varied,
her nuance finished and often brilliant
and her taste excellent.

The French experiment in railway

The French experiment in railway
operation had cost the Government
all told 65,OOO.00O francs in the ten
years before the war. To this must
be added the amount of the interest
on the purchase price of the rail-
ways, which is not included in the
earnings statements of the State
railways. If the capital charges had
been included the deficits would have
been more than doubled. In 1921, the
first full year under normal operat-
ing conditions after the war, the loss
on the State railways is estimated at
100,00O,000 francs, and this without
interest on the investment, in spite
of the poorer service and fewer
trains as compared with the pre-war
schedules.

"Let America Pay!"


London bankers and London econ
omists generally have insistently
stated that Germany never can pay
the one hundred and thirty-five bi!
lion gold marks demanded of her by
the Allies-thirty-fv billions of gold
dollars.
In sympathy with this idea Sir
ROBERT HORNE, Chancellor OF the
British Exchequer, a sound headed
Scotchman with an eye open to the
main chance, now comes forward
with the ingenious suggestion that
America shoulder one-third of Ger
many's burden and pay 1t to the Al
lies. This is handsome and entities
Sir ROBERT to high place among the
best of his race in point of imagina-
tion-such distinguished men of
fancy as Sir WALTER SCOTT, ROBERT
Louis STEVENSON and Sir JAMES
BARRIE.
Sir ROBERTS invention would be a
good thing for Germany and sweet
thing for the Allies, but in the finality
it lacks originality. 1t is not new.
1t is born Of the same old attitude
now become so familiar to these
shores, Let America Pay!"
If, however, this invention had
originated in America with regard to
Americas own sacrifice it would
have had the merit of good taste
and generous spontaneity. But COM
ing from a nation that itself would
be benefited to the tune of billions
of dollars by Americas sacrifice, COM
ing from a nation that would get
genuine gold for what 1t regards, in
large measure, as a worthless credit,
will not produce any considerable
thrill of delight in the hearts of the
American people.
If the Chancellor of the British
Exchequer had presented an argu-
ment showing how it would work to
the restoration of economic world
stability and to the revitalizing of
commercial and industrial activities
If all the | o Us among all the allied
nations and the associated nations
were scrapped and the indemnities
Of the Central Powers were scrapped
as a part OF the job, his argument
would at least get receptive hear
ing in America.
1t would get a receptive hearing
In America because it would furnish
real thought for economic discussion
and would be wholly beyond palpable
selfshness. But to put forth an ar
gument. or make suggestion, that
would call upon America to pay one
third Of Germanys staggering indem-
nifty, with England and the other
Allies making no sacrifice whatever.
Is unthinkable and intolerable.
In the judgment Of THE New YoRK
HERALD Sir ROBERT has not scored
heavily in putting out this feeler, and
in the judgment of THE New YORK
HERALD America will never cancel
one cent of the Indebtedness due
from the Allies except all states be.

What America would do in situa-
ton of this kind is entirely unknown.

that the State derives not a cent
