Tame Wild Birds for the Table.
With the effort to bring about a

projier restrictions of game birds bred
In captivity lu other Slates every
lover of good eating will be in hcartl
en sympathy. Nothing could las more
discouraging to the appreciative pal
ate than the present situation in re
sH'ct of game.
The supply of wild Mi .Is is rapidly
dwindling and the efforts to breed
them In captivity have met with In
different success. A way has not .vet
been found to raise them In largo
numbers', and this must be done If
they are to form a part of the diet
of many people.
There l every reason wh game
birds should bo lu the normal dietary.
They are nourishing and delicious.
They widen the range of meats at
the same time that tlie.v cultivate the
taste of the eater. To mal.o them
high priced and scarce, to put them
bejond the reach of the multitude, l.s
directly opposed to public polle.v. Yet
that Is the effect of present laws,
with their Mtvei'ft restrictions mid
heavy penalties. As a result there
are thousands of New Yorker who
have never tasted u wild thick and to
whom eanvasbnek Is n? much a tlgure

Labor'a DtmaatJa oa the Railroads.
Although the menace of n general
railroad tleup through the possible
strike of a fraction of the railroad
employees Is forced anew on public
attention by the referendum vote of
the railroad unions In support of
demand for an eight hour day. It Is
a long way to any such disaster. The
chances are very much against Its
occurrence. As the president of the
nrothcrhood of Hallway Trnlnmen
sa.vs: "Thorn l.s n prospect of a
strike, hut there arc many conditions
which may prevent such action."
Kventually the public will be heard
from If the danger of a general mis
ponslou of traflle actually Impouds.
Meanwhile there are various formali
ties, rendered familiar by previous
labor controversies, which must be
observed. The tlrst of these has leen
completed In the canvass of tho rail
way unions on the question of pre
senting the eight hour demand, which
Is realty a demand for more pay. A
four-fifths vote In favor of It wn
quite to be expected. It surprises tif
body. It l.s not a vote, for u strike to
enforce the demand nor a vote against
arbitration. It nlmply puts the mat
ter In the hands of tho union officers
for submission to tho railroads.
The proiH)sl will be Included In
new wage agreements proffered In
place of the contracts expiring on
March ill. After that will come the
railroad answer, followed perhaps by
:t call for another union referendum,
this time on the question of a strike to
back up the eight hour demand. Then
there will be negotiations which muy
or may not revolve around Federal
Intervention of some sort or a sug
gestion for arbitration.
Yet the situation Is serious. There
is always risk that reckless stubborn
)!(.. on one side or the other in such
a controversy may precipitate a criti
cal slttintlon. This l the first time
the railroads of the country as one
system have been confronted with
a nationwide demand from railroad
labor without regard to differing con
dition of geography or traffic, or the
IK-rullar circumstances of the vari
ous companies. The affairs of the
iiimmon carriers have accordingly
reached such a pass In their relation
to the public that national Interest
must be engaged In the settlement of
the particular question now raised;
and it would be a fortunate outcome
If the public attitude should cotnKl
slops to be taken for n broad solution
of the whole rnllrond problem. One
of the features f greatest difficulty
I the steady encroachment rising
wages have been making on railroad
net earnings in recent years, while
earnings are limited by "'Oovernment
regulation.
There has been talk on tho part of
the railroad unions that they would
not consent to arbitrate the eight
hour demand. This tleserves to be
doubted, but arbitration Is not what
seems to be required. Instead of arbi
tration the dispute which now gives
the public concern apparently calls for
Investigation by n joint Congressional
committee to decide If the time has
not arrived for the Federal Govern
ment to undertake the regulation of
railroad wages as well as of rates.
tiood Agricultural Beginnings.
Agriculturally the spring season
may be said to have arrived officially
with the reort from Washington
showing the quantities of different
grains on the farms on March 1. This
marks the formal opening of tho
farming season, and It must be a
cause of satisfaction to note the well
stocked position now obtaining.
Never have the farm reserves of
the principal cereals made such a
showing In the aggregate at this sea
sou. In the case of corn, on account
of frost damage last autumn, the
quality is reduced, but the quantity is
well above the live year average. Oat
reserves make a bumper exhibit, some
'J 1 ",000,000 bushels in excess of the
corresponding supply last year, and
far above uny previous tlgure. The
return for wheat Is unparalleled, the
reserve being 2I1.7I7.0OO bushels.
which Is about 00,000,000 bushels
above the previous record, Atlded to
what the markets cull the visible sup
ply, the farm reserves of grain show
that the country Is well equipped to
lace the agricultural vicissitudes of
the coming mouths.
With consumption outrunning nm.
duct Ion In so many lands, the surplus
stocks of l!)l,Vs harvests should prove
no burden to the American former.
Apparently ho can count upon good
prices for his supplies on hand as
well as for what he may raise. Mean
while there Is lu these farm reserves
of grain desirable ussurnnce of plenty
of i ommodltles for our own use..
The unprecedented crops of the Inst
two years have been a basic factor In
our recovery of pronerlty. multiply-
Ing as they have the effect of tho
foreign trade which has so stimulated
American Industry. For -the Imme
diate future the significance of the
grain reserve rcort Is optimistic.
Crop prospects cannot Ih reckoned
thus early In the spring, hut wo are
measurably protected against the haz
ards of the farm year. More than
a normal omount of crop damage Is
already offset, and If nature Is still
kind to us, If wo raise big crops
again, so much the better.
The Easiest Submarine Coalrot era.
The new German memorandum on
submarine warfare presented by
Count von Hednstohvp to Secretary
I.ansino concludes by saying that
"the Imperial Oovernment feels con
fident that the people of the United
States, remembering the friendly re
lations that for the last one hundred
years have existed between the two
nations, wilt In spite of the difficul
ties put Into tho way by our enemies
appreciate the Herman viewpoint as
laid down above." Unfortunately for
tho realization of this hope, state
ments In the memorandum on which
the Oermnn Oovernment builds Its
case are sometimes half truths If not
misrepresentations. Take, for In
slnnce, the following:
"On November 3, 1H. the order of
lh British Admiralty followed declar
ing; the wholo North He a war zone,
In which commercial shipping would be
exposed to the mot serious dunger front
mines und mcn-of-wnr. Troteets from
neutraU were of no avail, and from th.it
tfnte on the freedom of neutral com
merce with Citnnany una practically de
stroyed." This. If true n.s stated, would have
Justified the reprisal of submarine
warfare In a zone similarly marked
out on merchantmen of the Allies,
provided they were not a I tacked
without wnrnlng and crews and pas
sengers were permitted to save them
selves. Hut what was this order of
the Hrltlsh Admiralty "declaring the
whole North Sea a war zone"? It
was dated "Ioudon, November -," and
Itegan by saying that "during the last
week the Germans have scattered
mines Indiscriminately In tin open
sea on the main trade route from
America to Llvertxiol via the north
of Ireland." The mines, as tin Ad
miralty pointed out. could not have
been laid by uny German ship of war.
from which It followed In the Judg
ment of the Admiralty that "they
have been laid by some merchant ship
living a neutral flag." Peaceful mer
chant ships, had leen already blown
tip. and (we quote from the order
"hut for the warnings given by Hrlt
lsh cruisers other Hrltlh and neu
tral merehnnt and passenger vessel
would have been dostro.ved." Notice
was given that "the whole of the
North Sea must be considered a mili
tary area." Unprecedented, even the
Hrltlsh will hnve to admit. The or
der went on to say :
"W'lthln this area merchant shipping
of all kinds, traders of all counirle,
fishing craft and all other vessel will
be evpo.scd to the gr.ivet dansers from
mines which It ha been neeesnary to
lay and from warships earehlnK vigi
lantly by night and clay for suspicious
craft."
Hut while mining the North Sea In
selected plncos to trap the enemy the
Admiralty undertook to aid "com
merce of all countries" to reach "Its
destination In safety." The warning
was given that "all ships passing a
lint! drawn from the northern point
of the Hebrides through the Faroe
Islands to Iceland o so m their
peril." If they would come through
tin Kugllsh Channel, which Is the
Usual route, they would receive "s-ill-Ing
directions" and be passed safely
so far as Great Hrltaln was con
cerned. "Novel conditions under
which this war Is being waged" were
urged In Justification of this course.
In adopting It Great Hrltaln was oh
vlouslj on the defensive before the
court of neutral opinion, but she nt
least assumed the responsibility of
looking after the safety of trailing
ships of the neutral hat ion as well
ns her own. Germany In the "war
zone" marked out by her disclaimed
any such rpvonlhlllty. Neutral
ships- were to enter It at their peril,
and all nations were In no doubt ns
to the nnture of that peril.
According to the new memorandum
Germany In her submarine warfare
"did not violate any existing rules,
but only took Into account the pecu
liarity of this new weapon, the sub
marine bunt." What of the I,us.
tanla, the Arable and other demon
strations of "frlghtfulness"? And
then there Is the reference to the
Order In Council of March 11. 11)15,
which Is said to have "abolished evpn
whnt remained of the freedom of
neutral trade with Germany und her
neutral neighbors." Hut was it not
In retaliation for "submarine war
fare"? So we have a series of re
prisals, one after another, each side
alleging provocation. Germany gives
certnin pledges to the United States
to conduct her submarine warfare
legitimately, nnd then raises the
armed merchantman Issue with plau
sibility and perhaps not entirely with
out Justification. And so the weary,
tierllous controversy drags on,
Consolidate the Inspection Nervlrrg.
It has loen a difficult uk to frame
a measure for the consolidation of
the building' Inspection services ac
ceptable to the political and business
Interests affected by Its terms, and
the bill now before tho Legislature
Is not perfect In all Its provisions.
It does, however, simplify the exist
ing procedure In many details, nnd
hy lis enactment real estate owners,
builders and tenants would be re
lieved of many needless burdens.
The bill provides for one Inspection
covering the construction of new
buildings, and another for the en
forcement of the laws and ordinances
after their completion. The State
Labor Department would he elimi
nated by It from structural Jurisdic
tion over factories In this city, and
n Hoard of Standards und Appeals
would harmonize the regulations and
their administration. This board
would be appointed by the Mayor
and ho responsible to him, and Ita ei
tenses would he provided for In the
manner regularly prescribed for other
city departments.
In order to obtain agreement the
advocates of a number of desirable
reforms have been obliged to subor
dinate their own designs to the de
mands of others. The bill Is a com
promise, but a compromise that will
benefit the sorely pressed real estate
holders and occupiers of New York,
nnd In their behalf It should be en
acted Into law.
The Politics ef It.
Had It been the deliberate purpose
of Senntor (ieoace F. Thompson of
Mlddlcport, Niagara county, to ex
pose his own character and motives,
he could not have done so more ac
curately than he did In this remark
uttered yesterday In the course of a
rebuke to Oscar S. Straus :
"JI Mr. Straps J la wlllln to stake
his reputation and take the chance of
ruining Ida political future by appoint
ing himself as sponsor for Messrs.
Wiiitnbv, Harknrss and Tcnwtti."
We venture to say that Mr. Stbaus'h
"political future" Is a matter of less
concern to Mr. Stkai:h than any one
of half a dozen subjects that engage
his attention; that It was not lu his
mind when he spoke up for men he
believed to be unjustly nsnlled. und
that it did not occupy his thoughts
for a second until they were directed
toward It by the outgivings of Sen
ator TuoMrsoN. Hut In tho Intellec
tuals of Senntor Thompson the per
sonal politic of the affair Immedi
ately under discussion assume' I an
Importance wholly disproportionate
to It merits, and Irresistibly enlisted
his closest scrutiny.
Hy one man the fortunes of poll
tics, the iHillllcal effects of his eon
duct, are unheeded. Ignored, unrecog
nized: by the other they are con
tolved to be of paramount Import.
To which of these men will the pub
lic look for disinterested and In
formed Judgment In a matter which
engages their energies?

THE BOYS WHO RESIGNED.
Oae of Them Nays Polities Saved
Sfany Deficient Midshipmen.
To tub Ktiiron or Tilt: Hl'N Sir; The
"Hoot of Jltivh Hvll" I refer lo the
editorial artlclu In Tltu Si'N of March
t Is. to eay lh leaal, a rather flourish
ing weed. It flowered so profusely last
month that there aro many midshipmen
who breathe more easily because of Its
splendid ttrength. Hut to the point, tho
facts of the "wholesale flunking" at tho
Naval Academy re these: There were
320 midshipmen of nil claries found to
have a mark, at least one, in other cases
two, three und four, below the required
standard of 2.R0. New this 'J.50 repre
sents, mathematically, 62.5 per cent, of
the maximum 4.0. It seems a rather tow
standard to require, but as u probable
reatilt of the "scandal" of lant sunmvr
a 2.S of to-day represents at least an
10 to RS per cent, knowledge of the sub
ject. A 4.0 Is practically unheard of In
class recitation, imperially for thopc
whose marks for previous months and
terms have hovered about the 2.8 or
2.9 grading.
But to return to the 220 midshipmen.
It was at first reported that all of these
men were to bu compelled to lcavo the
academy. Then the "heating herb" was
applied nnd the gathering of Represen
tatives and Senators ut Carvel Hall In
Annapolis was great enough to warrant
the holding of a cession of tho national
legislature. Kxactly what these gentle
men did Is not detlnltely known, but u
few days later eighty-two and not 22')
midshipmen were told to resign. Among
these eighty-two, Including myself, were,
a number who had not attempted to
use "pull" to continue at the academy,
supposing that all would tj treated with
the same consideration.
After the cut had been made. In which
138 midshipmen, unsatisfactory in one,
two and three subjects, were held, the
eighty-two realized that It was their
time to use the "root" and some at
tempted to do so. Mr. Daniels abso
lutely refused to Interfere, saying he
was powerless but evading the question
as to whether tho eighty-two, or u part
of the eighty-two, were fairly treated
when considered with the other l"S.
However, the fart remiln" that durlngi
the administration of President Taft tlie .
Hon. George von I.. Mcjcr Is eald t"
have granted the academic board one
hour In which to meet u condition simi
lar to the onn of the past term. Pur
rome time previous the academic board
had refused to change Its ruling, but at
the expiration of the hour the passing
mark wus lowered to such an extent that
very few were found deficient. Vet Mr-
Daniels a "I am powerless agjlnst
the academic board." And it seems well i
to mention that among the members of
tho academic board of the present day
are naval officers who were also mem
bers of the board during the incumbency
of Secretary Meyer, a lather strange,
coincidence.

rOR NEW YORK.
Aa Appeal In Behalf of United Action
In 1U Defence.
To tk Upitor or The RUN Sir: One
of the bills affecting tho business of the
city of New York now under discussion
would change the dates for the payment
of taxes. The newspapers have, printed
a statement about this meisure from
tho Advisory Council of Ileal Kslate
Interest, of which 1 am chairman.
There Is eonslderublo difference of
opinion concerning tills bill among- the
real estate meu and others who have
studied It. Its merits will be discussed
at tho conference that we have re
quested of the Mayor, nut the discus
sion should not be allowed to distract
attention from the main legislative pro
gramme of relief for the city.
The tax reduction committee, which
Is leading the cltliens' movement for re
lief, Is to hold a mass meeting In Carne
gie Hall next Prlday evening to sound
the sentiment of New York city on a
number of relief measures. These meas
ures are not such as are of a contro
versial nature; they do nothing more
than simple Justice to the city, and
every citizen should use shls beat efforts
lo bring about their adoption by the
Legislature. There are signs a plenty
that the city Is at last awake to the
necessity of action by Ihe legislature to
lighten the tax burden, and If the senti
ment of the community Is impressed
strongly .enough upon our representa
tives In tho Legislature wo shall get
that action.
Mayor Mltchel has accepted our Invi
tation to speak ut the mass meeting and
explain the programme from the stand
point of the city administration. Adolph
liloch will talk for real estato owners
and Peter .1. Ilrady for the laboring men.
Other speakers nro Martin W. Littleton
and George Gordon Uattlc.
The man who wants to lend his aid
to obtain Justice for the city can prove
his Interest in no belter way than by
getting behind this movement.
Aukeu K. Marmno,
Chairman of the. Advisory Council of
Ileal Kstate Interests.

of a nation Is the world, the world as

Jungle full of llms nnd tigers men must
have weapons. If any man says 'TTicre
are no tigers" or "They cannot meet
my eye." or "I will stroke them like
klttenet and so subdue them," he Is win
devoured Kor to assume that things
are not as they are Is the unpardonable
sin against nature, and the penalty Is
extermination.
Should our nation be armed for do
fence In this howling Jungle of the twen

run amuck? How can any one hesitate
In the answer? In such a case Ptopii.r.

To HIK I.niToa oi Till Sv.v .Sir. Is

moiis who can lie regarded as belonging

We have perhaps 2,000,000 men tn

SHALL MAN BE PRESERVED?
Serious Problem That Woman Most
Endeavor to Meet.
To tiik Kuitoh or Tut: .Sun' Sir; Now
Ihnt the' male of the human seclcs Is
being annihilated by the millions, nnd
as there Is grave danger or his almost
entire extinction, It behooves the women
of this country to devise some means
of preserving to the best of their ability
this somewhat userul animal, and the
suggestion Is offered that colleges pro
vide a useful and practical course of
household duties, management of the
kitchen, care of husbands and children,
c and eliminate many of the high
brow studies In obscure and unnecessary
branches. Will not the women rule the
world now more than ever, especially
when peace Is achieved? '
It used to be said that for every
woman there Is a food man, but the time
Is fast approaching when there will be
but one-fifth of a man, or, In other
words, nve women to one man. This la
eminently unsatisfactory and the women
should take time by the forelock by
grabbing the men and preserving" them.
They should recall that It Is In their
power to avoid the catastrophe.
Preparedness should be the watch
word. Dan Cupid evidently believes In
preparedness, for. according lo all re
ports, has he not been busy with bis
arrows nt Ihe grindstone, and have not
his shots been straight. Judging; from
the Increase In marriages?
!h not love the Ilfo of tffe soul and
harmony of the universe? Then why
not give morn attention and attach more
Importance to the subject of household
management In all Its details In the col
lege curriculum? tn days to come the
queen of the household will have to
possess very marked ability In view of
tho changing conditions and competi
tion. The woman In order to get the
worth while man will havo to possess
the following qualities. In connection
w ith many othcrii not mentioned : Com
radeship, the ability to make Ihe best of
things, the charm of true womanliness,
personality, character, magnetism, tbo
eav-lne grace of tact: she must think well
of her own sex fthls Is sometlmeu hard),
she must tie wholo hearted and natural,
she must know how to "come up smil
ing" under every ellfflculty, she must
ktiow how tr play baseball, must 'be a
good housekeeper, cool:, manager, and
be a good friend anil companion.
If she Is all this, men's clubs will dis
appear, the world will ! safe and will
eventually rain Its eeiinlibrium.
