3Neu? jjtorU tribune Sif?t to Last?tfte Trath: News?-Editorial* ?AdvertSsements UrioJer of the Audit Bureau of Clrculations - - THURSDAY, JUNE 12, 1919 ? ". " ? ::? . ; . -: Owned and published d?lly by New York Tribune In<\, a New York Corporation. Og,t when the executive officers at '.Vashington are developing a holy zeal for such propositions as that Japan must not have a special position in China, or Italy on the Adriatic littoral, or Greece :n Asia Minor, along comes Carranza to compel them to avow that the United States must continue to claim cpecial position in Mexico. It is most disgust? ing. The Jatent unwelcome rerninder is 'Aguilar. son-in-law of the First Chief, who has appeared in Washington to say "he does not understand why Mexico has not been invited to become a member of tb? league of nations; that he is told the reason for the ?xelnjion was this eoun trj'f vsto, and how about lt? Moreover, he brings the distressing information that the First Chief feels his honor is drawn in question and that he is hurt and grieved. Senor Carranza finds it comports with his honor to confiscate the property of Americans who were cajoled into making investments there on express agreements that their defined rights should }>e respected; but to be left out?this is an intolerable affront. Sacre! The fifteenth point might well have been the one declaring that no country should complain when the complainer did in principle what it found fault with in another. This power to see ourselves as others see us, as one Burns remarked, would rid us of many a foolish notion. The American who can see why America occupies a special position in regard to some questions and can't see that any other country should be given preference as to other questions has an imagination active in but one lobe of his brain. Discouraging Crime Mayor Hylan's suggestion that the newspapers discourage crime by not re porting successful burglaries and hold ups was excellent, but he has not yet taken the next step. Xl crime is in? creased by propaganda which presents New York as a Beulah land, may it not be decreased by a contrary propaganda? We hope his honor will enlist the news? papers in'a vigorous campaign to dis? courage the influx of criminals. It should not be difficult. The Mayor's committee on public information?we trust its ci'eation will not be long de? layed?should send to all yeggs in the country full reports of our heat waves, including a complete list of prostrations. Daily comrnent also might be sent out on the overcrowded condition of hotels, the subway stress, high rents and the weakness of the Yankees in right field. This general propaganda should go to all undesirables who have not yet come to New York. There also might be more specialized publicity. Thus, there might be a warn? ing to safe robhers of the likelihood of a cracksman's having his pockets picked while on his way home from a hard night's work in the greater city. Like wise, pickpockets might be informed of the precarious condition of all savings in New York owing to the prevalence of safe robbers. Perhaps as a climax might come the announcement that no criminal can remain outside the clutches of the New York police force for long, with accompanying figures of the daily ar? rests for failure to keep the tail lights aglow, heedlessness of traffic signals and neglect of dimmers. New York's Example Governor Smith again has shown his alertness and good sense in prompt? ly calling a special session of the Legis? lature to ratify the suffrage amend? ment. His action sets an example which other states_ should be quick to follow. Meantime attention centres on Penn? sylvania, where the Legislature still is in session, with but a few days remain ing before adjournment. It is to be hoped that the issue will be brought up there promptly and a vote obtained. To delay consideration now will postpone a decision until 1921, unless a special ses? sion is called. The sentiment of Penn? sylvania can hardly be doubted. At the first referendum, four years ago, suf? frage came within 60,000 votes of adop tion. Pennsylvania has now the oppor? tunity to be the first Eastern state to ratify this great reform, and no eleventh hour congestion of legislation should be permitted to obstruct a vote. The swing of the country is unmis takable. Sentiment seldom has gathered in such overwhelming force for any change of such importance. Ratiflcation by the states is a grave constitutional duty calling for the best judgment of our state legislatures. They are en? titled to be heard, and heard promptly, on this measure. affecting thc rights of one-half of our population and the wel* fare of the entire nation. Potash Before the Ways and Means Commit? tee witnesses say it costs $5 a unit to produce potash in this country, whereas it can be imported from Germany or from the soon-to-be French mlnes of Al sace for $1.50. Protection to equalize the difference is asked?said to be indis pensable if an industry in which $30. 000,000 has been invested is to survive and to attract new capital. The question of what is to be done with respect to the potash infant raises many old issues. Which should be the first consideration?to establish a basic new industry for the benefit of thc future or allow our present farmers and truck raisers to get fertilizer where they can buy it the chcapest? At the interroga tory brain cells that have not functioned for a long time stir into action. Many reminiscences come. Whether or not the infant is to be pro? tected probably depends on the evidence of the prospect for it growing to self sustaining manhood. If there is prom? ise of this, if America can be insured against finding hcrself again without an indispensable article, doubtless the agri cultural interests and consumers of food will be willing to pay more. On the other hand, if it shall appear that high priced fertilizer will permanently bafflc ua in international competition, strong will be the demand to purchase potash v/hero it can bo obtained at the lowest price. The witnesses shed no light on this question. All they did was to lift up the familiar cry that if the protection asked was not accorded they would bo ruined. This would be enough, lf established, to win for the affirmative in most instances, but is hardly enough when in the back ground is the bigger matter of conserv ing soil fertility. The Prussian Way As is generally known, since last No? vember the Germans have developed an extremely keen sense of the'sanctity of international agreements. There is no end of their complaining that the peace treaty violates the fourteen points of President Wilson, on the basis of which the armistice was concluded. The follow? ing editorial utterance of the Tdglicfie Rundschau of Berlin is, therefore, doubly welcome as an indication of how the Ger? mans, purified by defeat and suffering, conceive the, to them, formerly so un? usual achievement of living up to an obligation: "Aceording to the Wilsonian peace programme, those regions of our eastern marches which had an indubitably Polish population were to be ceded to Poland. By our acceptance of the fourteen points we undertook to comply with this condi? tion, and this we could readily do, be? eause there are no parts of Prussia with indubitably Polish population." This may not be straight thinking, but it is certainly plain speaking. Also, if this be the way to fulfil a treaty, it looks almost honorable to break it. One shud ders to think what interpretation the Germans, had they the chance, would have put on the Wilsonian clause about the freedom of the seas, for instance. Out of his own mouth we learn about the modesty and good faith of the Prus? sian in defeat. It is, indeed, a benign Providence that has spared the world the experience of Prussian morality tri umphant. Mr. Taft complains rather testily (the i weather makes campaigning teniper ! wearing on even men of small avoirdu I pois) that his opponents use antithetical i arguments?one element "declaring there ! must be no oligarchy of nations and an? other offering suggestions that if there | is no oligarchy the league is toothless." I And, not to be outdone, Mr. Taft parades j the antithesis that the league does not : impair national sovereignty and that it | is necessary to impair national sover i eignty if there is to be any organization i for peace maintenance. The Jonkheer Hohenzollern. who is spending some time at Wieringen, Hol? land, while his wife sues for divorce, predicts another war in ten years. His former Highness ought to know?he is a specialist in war launching. But per? haps he does not know for the same rea? son that he could not see that the war he fostered could not succecd. His mind is attuned to a kind of political leader ship which is gone, we may hope, forever. The Pro-Wet Mother Goose (From The Chicago Evening Post) Sing a song of sixpence, a pockeb full of rye. It will mean a hefty fine, starting next July. The death of John C. Spooner, for three terms a Senator of the United States from Wisconsin, removes a man who was long recognized as one of the ablest public servants of America. A constitutional lawyer of high attain ments, a man of wide experience in af- I fairs, who united the culture of the schools to Western energy and practi cality, he placed all he had at the dis posal of his country. He was rich in mind, and even richer in character, and his services in the Senate leave a great ; legacy. Why not put Burleson into thc dic tionary as a nonn and a verb. Lots of men have been thus immortalized. There was Captain Boycott, for instance. How about offering a prize for the letter that has been longest in travelling from one part of New York to another? Federations and Teachers (From Thc Topeka State Journal) Time was when it seemed incredible that school teachers would ever find it neces? sary to organize in order to obtain fair pay and fair working conditions, but when the teachers of some cities discovered that the garbage collectors, aided by labor union nffiliations, were getting better wages than the teachers and wore in line to obtain more favorable pension con? sideration than teachers could hope for, the teachers began to see the necessity for organization. They discovered, at length, says "The Christian Science Monitor," I what the entire social body, usually re? ferred to as "thc middle class," is begin? ning to find out, that in a highly organized | world ho is a rare Individual indeed who j can hope to get his rights unless by joint action with others situated and equipped like himself. Time Tells {From The Detroit News) lf it is true the peace conference has leaked, maybe age rusted it. If all the. world were apple pie, And all the sea were ink, That state of things were not much worso Than having naught to drink. There was a man of our town, And he was wondrous wise. He went into a polling both And voted with1 the drys. But when he Baw tho drys hnd won, With all his might nnd mnin He fillcd his cellar with a stock Of whiskey and champagno. Jack and Jill went up the hill To fetch a pail of water; Jack fell down and broke his crown ?nd JiU cwne tumbling after. Served 'em right! The Conning Tower Immortality I would not live always, live always below; Oh no, I'll not linger when bidden to go. But I should like to tarry in this vale of grace Until they finish that escalator they are building in the subway station at Park Place. It is astonishing that the puritanical have not crti3aded against daylight saving. Under daylight saving, golf and tennis are games for bachelors. No wife, if she be the cook, wants to wait until 9 o'clock for dinner; and no other cook will. Marital felicity and daylight saving are incongru ous. Why, then, says the bachelor, get married? Tp-morrow will be Friday the 13th, and anybody who must read some comment on that coincidence is at liberty to consult the filea of this department, especially from Oc? tober, 1904, to January, 1914. In Response to Edar*s "Call to Duty" I have a lot of things to do? An office to attend to; Committee meetings ; one or two Reports to make an end to; Unanswered letters?quite a pile? (I pray their writern' lenience,) Addresses, cards and things to file All waiting my convenience; Two trip3 on which I have to fare Betwixt this date and Monday; A Sabhath lesson to prepare Against the coming Sunday; And l'm to help a fellow-suf Ferer on this well known sphere: Move all her livestock, books and stuff; (I am some charioteer.') All these and then enough beside To fill this blooming column 1 thought upon at breakfasttide, And waxed a trifie solemn. Then, for diversion eruditc, I turned to this here page, And Edar's versea met my sight?

Davison's claim to fame is not based on his having given a copy of the treaty to Senator Root. He is the gentleman to whom in March, 1918, we gave up our stateroom on the Leviathan; and the gentle? man who got a call down from an enlisted man for throwing a cigar butt into the At? lantic Ocean. But Mr. Davison is a skilled and good-natured mechanic, too. He used to repair our briquet a dozen times a day. Variety's Golden Days Sii-: Anybody remember Tony Pastor singing his own song about the tattered old flag? I have a fairly clear mental' picture of him on thr stage in his famous old palace of delights on Fourteenth Street. He was slipping into old age then and his voice was a bit shaky and piping when he reached Tor high notes, but he had quite a way with him, a sort of vulgar ftair if you know what I mean. I can see him now in evening clothes, with a i top hat perched rakishly on the side of his head and holding a ragged flag in his hand the while he sung rcgarding it as follows, to wit: ? " "lis but a tattered. old torn piece of bunting 'Tis but. a red, white and blue colored rag; But horoes have died in defence of its honor And hallowed with glory that old tattered flag." And why has no one vecalled Lydia Yea | mans Titus, whose specialty in those days ; was the impcrsonation of insufferably fresh ! children? She used to sing songs in a | childish bib and tucker, while friend hus , band (as 1 remember him he wore a flossy set of whiskers) used to preside at a grand i piano. Doesn't any onc rccall .Toe Maxwell, who ; used to sing illustrated songs? He hada partner (I can't recall the name) who made i tlie slides and operated the projection ma? chine. 1 can hear Joe's minstrel tenor now taking the high spots in that old "Darling Sue" song. And the funniest act of all hasn't been , mentioned Hayes and Lytton in "A Wise ; Guy." He was a roughneck piano mover | or something of the sort who invaded a i fashionable domicile presided over by the lady Miss Lytton. Who that saw it will j ever forget the cataclysmic effect of his ; familiar response to a flattering remark i on her part'.' He used to slap her broad and extremely decollete back with such a resounding whack that every one nearly jumped out of his or her seat. And for gastronomic delic?cy Charlie Chaplin cer tainly never excelled his attack on a sup per served in his honor. These were cer tainly thc g. o. d., all right, all right. JOHN P. TOOHEY. "lt was always my wish," confesses Ear j nest Guy, "that they would cut out every I thing except the monologue artists, comedy teanis, sketches and an occasional song. There were lots of good acts I had to sit through to hear James J. Morton?acts like Latina, the lady contortionist; the Girl with the Auburn Hair, and Jap jug j glers." And then Earnest Guy's memory I misses, for it was neither Ward and Cur i ran nor Ward and Vokes who sprang "Those ; were the hapny days." lt was, we believe, Howard and North, a comparatively recent j team. Mr. Gerald K. Rudolph of the Buffalo Courier inform3 whom it may concern that he who once rocked us with mirth as Har rigan, the Tramp Juggler, is in thc lumber business in Buffalo, and one of thc Park Ciub's best golfers.

W. W. E. Constable Stephen Constable, the police force of North Wales, Pa., has resigned. His name affords too much amusement, he says, to the citizens. Which gives us a chance to wonder whether Captain Cedric Major would have declined a promotion. Why, wo wondored yesterday morning, does the right shoelace always break iirst? And then the left one, with precisely tho same mileage, broke. And another para graph was ruined.

"Tho body is so arranged on the chassis that the springs are completely covered," which, of course, makes the hearse low and easy riding," says the Sun'a automobile de? partment. Oh?no, itll do for a 1. 1. Oh d., where is thy a.T F. P. A JAPAN, SUPPLIANT OR DEFIANT? mim This cartoon from the Tokio "Jiji" protests against Japan's position at the peace conference. The caption reads: "It's there, the empty seat. Why doesn't he take it?" This comment is added: "We have heard of five great powers of the world, and we are to be treated above the average. There is something strange in our delegate, who assumes the position of a petitioner begging to be treated as an equal." "Selling" the Army By Theodore M. Knappen "VT THEN I read in a proof of one of the yV new era newspaper recruiting ad vertisements that one of the induce ments to join the regular army is the op portunity to nieet "nice girls," I tried to imagine what a "hard boiled" of the Ind? ian campaigning days, the Philippines or Cuba would say and do if he were to be told that by joining the regulars he would got a" chance "to come up with nice girls." His remaiks of surprise and incredulity would certainly not be "nice." Times do, indeed, mutate, when you join the army to meet good society, and you are invited to do so through the medium of an honost-to-goodness, paid-for newspaper dis play advertiscment, paid for, too, by the governmert of the United States. Even the decorous General Staff, which conceives of life as a succession of cold, impersonal or? ders with nd omotional trimming3 what? ever, ronlizos that things are not as they were. It seemed incrodible that that ag grogation of human icebergs and profes sional critics had passed on tho "nico girl" advertisement. but on investigation it was found to be the fact. Grourkicst Army in the World "Why, would you believe it," remarked an officer associated with the new idea in recruiting, as woll as the new social age in the army, "that the solomn old boys laid down only on" rule ir. regard to eopy, after we had persuaded them that the way to get tlie right kii cl of soldiers in the year A. D. 1919, having in mind that the grouchiest army i:i the world is being simultaneously demobilizcd, was to advertise? They insisted that. we must tell the truth and promise nothing we could not deliver. Well, now, with the Y. M. C. A. and the Knights of Co? lumbus and the Y. W. C. A. and so on, it's a cinch that any rookie we tako on will meet nice girls. So the grave and revered soniors of the staff stood for this and a lot of other up-to-date, human stuff in our eopy." lf you don't believe it look at the re? cruiting ad in tho Sunday papers and read it through. Xow remember that that ad? vertiscment is remarkable not only for the kind of eopy- for a government advertise ment?but also for the fact that it i3 an advertiscment. Your Uncle Samuel has started a real, live, up-to-the-minute adver? tising campaign in the newspapers to sell army service to the young men of the coun? try, and he is no "piker," either, for he has put $185,000 into a two weeks' campaign and he takos pages and 1,100-line. space at that. This eopy wasn't written by any spurred gentleman between other duties, either. The army called in an advertising agency, took its advice, had it write the eopy, choose the "mediums," place the advertising and direct the campaign, just as any business house would. I saw the rough proofs when they came back from the agency and I can tes? tify that the only blue-pepcilling that was done to them nround the War Department was some minor changes to make the state ments of the eopy artist ndhere scrupu lously to the facts?not that he had pur posely misstated, but beeause through in complete information he was inaccurate. The Sandtcich Sign In the good old days when theatres used to refuse admittance to men in Uncle Sam'a uniform the advertising usually consistcd of a Biindwich sign and n flag or perhaps a smail postor and mayhnp a want ad in the newspapers. A recruiting sergeant, as ini mobilo aa n stutue, stood in front of the recruiting office and would barely deign to take some notico of the man. who was de termined to get into thc army. But now all is changed. No more of this "Men-wanted for-the-United-States-Army" stuff. Oh, no! Now comes your Uncle Samuel with eeveral thousand grand poaitiona which He want* to i "sell" to an equal number of ambitious youngsters, and he just "up and tells them" what an attractive proposition he has to offer. Pay, $30 a month? Not a bit of it. The $.30 a month is simply free pocket money. Everything that the civilian needs for life and has to pay for out of his cash receipts is furnished to the soldier by the govern? ment. The $30 is nothing more nor less than velvet. So, say the ads. Army service in these day:; is pictured as a sort of ex alted personally conducted excursion and Chautauqua combined. "Good Pay?Foreign Service?Free Education," says one of the j head lines at the optical centre of the page. [ Want to see the world ? Take your choice. J Shall it be on the Rhine, in Siberia, in the Philippines, Panama, Hawaii? You can have | any one of them. You don't go into prison j when you join the army, according to the advertisements. Not a bit of it. You have regular hours for work and time for play. There are dances, the movies, the theatre, ; baseball, football and those "nice girls" again in the hours of leave. Even the work | itself is interesting. lt makes your body hard as nails, your mind quick and your I will strong. Any way you look at it, the i army is a great school for civil life. But if i you want to make a career of it, there's a j commission waiting for you, straight up from the ranks or via West Point, if you are the stuff that officers are made of. These are all true. legitimate data for advertise? ments and they are being used in this pioneer 1 campaign. Placihp thc Advertisements Some of the best newspapers ln tho coun? try are not going to get any of this good : copy, and the Publishers' Association has | warned members not to complain or at? tempt to resort to any politieal pull to get 1 an order. This is a straight business propo? sition that the army is trying; and, under the best export advice in advertising and I selling, it is putting it out in the most ap ; proved way. Its sales agencies are its main recruiting offices. There are only forty-six eilics that have them. Your uncle doesn't purpose to waste his good money advertising ! where he has no stores. Tho advertising , agents explained to him that that was a good I way to part with his money for nothing, and | he believes them. So, if the best advertising medium in the United States happens not to be located in a recruiting centre, there will be no army space for it at regular "run of-the-paper" rates, but with "indicated po? sition.-' Psychology Sergeants And the salesmen-the recruiting squads? They aro being taught more tricks than a ; fake stock salesman learns in the broker's | school--only they are fair tricks. They are taught a regular "canvass" and filled full of j answers for possible questions. They are ! encouraged to look on their job "as a I straight selling undertaking and are stimu I lated to think of new ideas, original adver tising stunts and new devices for attracting 1 attention. They are taught to be press j agents and are made post-graduatea in the art of beguiling reporters and editors. They are even introduced to those most ad? vanced courses in press agency which teach how to make news. They learn how to luro the local merchants into window displays that boost the gamo while the advertising is running in the newspapers, and they cover thc wholo psychology of advertising and selling from attracting attention to j arousing interest, attaining conviction and j preempting the dotted line. Hardly tFrom Tha Detroit Journal) Save your American flag. It m?y be needed as an argument in the 1920 cam? paign. Books f By Heywood Broun THE notlon that there ahould be a spe. cial sort of book known as "Bonnaej reading- 1b curious. We are incllnej to think it a deluslon. There ls no reason why peopie should put off history and biog. raphy and serious novels in favor of wide meshed fiction with the approach of warm weather. There may be a few readers who instruct their bookseller on June lst to send "something suitable for a summer cottage with a mean temperature of eighty-fonr." But on the whole it is'fair to expect more reading and heavier reading in summer thaa in winter. Most of us have more time in. summer and, in addition, we desire diversion. With few exceptions this is not to be found in so-called light fiction. We would not be wooed away from thoughts of heat and humidity by such a paragraph as the fol? lowing one, for instance, from a recent bit of summer reading: "With breath coming short. and eyes that tried to locate and register the doings of th* train, and could not beeause everything swata, before her in a kind of black mist, Hilda. quickened her pace. She caught her toe in. an ugly root and fell headlong across a fur. row, striking her knees against a stony spot and grinding her chin into the earth. . . t In imagination she could already see the met with Schwartz at their head, pursuing her, and the train moving off without her. If she did not get that train she had no refuge. They would catch her, for they were met^ and powerful, and she was almost at the limit of her Etrength already." This, we think, is no way to cool off conv muters. A friend of ours used to choose books of orthodox theology and turn to the chaptert on eternal punishment whenever the weather grew unduly warm. We cannot recommend the plan, beeause we happen to know that he caught a severe cold last August while engrossed in a treatise on infant damnation. Our summer suggestions, with few excep? tions, would be books which stimulate thought. This is much the easiest of all forms of hot weather exercise. An exhaae. tive study of back newspaper files will reveal the fact that heat prostration is unknow* among chess players. Accordingly, if we were asked to recoa* mend six recent books to vacationists we would suggest Theodore Dreiser's "Twelre Men"; "The Undying Fire," by H. G. Wells; Whi.lock's "Belgium"; "Reading the Bible," by William Lyon Phelps; Merrfck's "Conrad In Quest of His Youth" ("new at least it editiont, and possibly Gerald Cumberlanda "Set Down In Malice." Of these only the Merrick novel is light beyond question and it is recommended not on that account, but rather beeause the book is fresh and joyfnl and imaginative, which are by no means tha usual characteristics of light fiction or sum? mer reading. Le t the League Dolt! To the Editor of The Tribune. SIR: Some months ago the National Se? curity League commenced to be deluged with requests from all parts of the coun? try for material to be used in high r.thool and college debates on universal military trauv ing. State-wide discussions have been held by interscholastic and intercollegiate debat ing societies in Oklahoma, North Carolina and Texas. Checking up on the results of these debates and those held in other states, the league has learned that universal mili? tary training was defeated at the ratio ef practically two to one. The reasons gtrea for this were various and interesting. A. C. Scott, director of the Extension Ser? vice of the University of Oklahoma, writes the league: "My personai opinion is that e very heavy reaction will set in?probably has set in now?against military tr_.ir.ing, and that it will take very vigorous propa* ganda, indeed, to hold our peopie to it." E. Selke, superintendent of schools ol Paynesville, Minn., writes: "The negatiTO won beeause their points were stronger, Ti*, fear that the United States would becoms a militaristic nation under a system of eom pulsory training; that returned soldiers mim? mize the value of military training; that the ideals of the nation are opposed to any extensive system of military training and the feeling that this war was waged t< pre? vent future wars and that there are to e no more wars." William F. Acree, a participant in * con? test in Tuttle, Okla., writes: "The negative won on the argument that universal military training violates American ideals nnd would, therefore, brutalize American youths." Alfred J. Maryott writes from East Providence, R. I.: "Our negative won hy stressing the lack of military necessity. the possibility of obtaining the benefits tr ..-? iruriividual in other ways, and the untime of the proposition beeause of the ter. i of the peace conference and the possibilities of a league of nations." Merrit Gibson, of Hallsville, Tex., writes: "We were beaten by the negative stressing the league of nations idea, and the ide_i tnat we are entering upon a new era in history? an era of so-called peace on earth ard good will toward men." Miss Pamela Bynum, of Wir.ston-Salem, X. C, writes: "The league of nations -dea aa a substitute for military training is **f popular." Practically the only encouraging conijsew received by the league in the reports from Stuart Wagner, a member of a tes* from Harrisburg, Penn., which had su fully upheld the affirmative side. He writes! "Previous to the debate there was not member of the affirmative team who resflf believed in the things which they were prove. After a careful study of the literaW*. sent us by the National Security Long** our nttitudes changed. Not only dui we ceed in proving to. the judges that univcrtW military training is essential, that it American in principle, and that the Inft" States would prove herself undemocrntic i un-Amcrican if she did not accept it, also to many other persons who were p' ent." The league considers the results in thsl debates and the comments thcreon illuminating as an exposition of an enoriw sentiment against universal rqilitary tr*| ing which will have to be overcome. trust that you will keep up the fight.
