WHO IS RIGHT HERE?
Sir. McIllienny'.nJ Mr. James Differ on
Need of "Y" Work in London
To fie Editor of the Kvtnlnp PubUo Ledger!
I notice that Mr. Edwin L. James In his
article about the Y. M. C. A. work with our
forces overseas says:
"Tho Y, M. C. A. can mc some money
by closing, for Instance, five hotels operated
In London, where there are no longer any
American soldiers or sailors."
Now let us eec what former Senator Fran
els S. Mcllhenny, of Gerinantowii, who Is
-...,. J. Ken"nl secretary In charge
of al . M. r. A activities In England,
says In a letter which I have Just received
from him:
e7iP Vi? ,,nr8'r cltl I" England the work
or the has IncreHned, particularly In Lon
don. Tho Lagle Hut. on the Strand, Is now
serving 4000 meals .1 day almost double
what it was two months ago. We have also
tnltrsi over the Palace Hotel for officers,
accommodating 350; the Grafton Hotel for
men. accommodating 400; McFnrlano'a Hotel
tak ng 160 and the Cosmo Hotel nccommo
dating 260, We also put up tents nt Eagle
Hut, and these we are now replacing with
a large double hut, which wo are moving
from another locality.
' "It was the general belief here that there
would bo no further leave for men from
Franco to England. Today, however. Gen
eral BIddle received 11 cable from Franco
asking the maximum number of men we can
accommodate from France beginning now.
We figured out that we can take 600 men
a day on seven days' leave, which will fill
up our 3500 beds that we now have. Thero
has been such a rush lately thnt more than
1000 of our boH each night have been sleep
ing on tho floor of the great hall of tho
Law Courts."
Does thnt look ns If the Y. M C. A. can
close Its hotels In Ixmdon, ns Mr. James
suggests? According to ex-Senator Mc
llhenny, the pressure upon London Is greater
now than ever.
Please let us remember that Mr. James
writes from Coblenz, on tho Rhine about
conditions In I,ondon, nnd Mr. Mcllhenny
writes direct from London. Whoso word Is
npt to be tho moro authoritative

Calls Financial System Had
To the Editor of the Evening Public Ledger:
Sir Your editorial In Saturday evening's
Issuo on "No Law Can Protect a Booh From
His Folly" is very finely written, and Is In
teresting, although you assume that our finan
cial system Is pretty good, whereas the oppo
site Is the case, and It Is pretty bad. But tho
financial question is the most Important thing
the people have to consider, it being the
foundation on which society tests, nnd It Is
to be hoped you will contluuo lis discussion
and allow It to bo looked at from every pos
sible angle.
Our financial system Is had because It Is
rontrary to natural taw. Natural law dots
not permit of perpetual debt, nnd our whole
system consists of debts plied upon debts
which can never be paid, nnd the maintain
ing of which holds the wages of labor down
to a living basis only, thereby preventing
coriwratlons and all lines of business from
making the profits necessary to pay high
wages and dividends. There Is not a large
city In tho country that can pay Its debts,
nnd every one of them Is at nil tlme-a on
tho ragged edge to get money to pay run
ning expenses nnd the money to pay for about
one-tenth the amount of public Improve
ments that could be mado if we had a
rational, sensible system.
Tho capital Issues committee came about
through tho tremendous Job the Government
had to get money, and It probably helped a
great deal In preventing money from being
withheld from Government use, But tho pre
vailing Idea that the Government can make
laws regulating tho prosperity of a people oy
price-fixing and wage-fixing and boards and
bureaux Is absurd. The men running tne
Government come from tho people, are the
same ns the people, know very little more
than the people, and consequently can do no
real good.
Our financial system, being contrary to nat
ural law, has resulted In a mass of legisla
tion by State and national Governments In
an attempt to remedy tho defects, and the
result Is confusion worse confounded. The
most promlslng-looklng financial act ever
undertaken by the Government was when It
provided a reserve to maintain tho thlrn
Liberty Loan nt par. But It develops that
they did not understand tho significance and
importance of this act, or how properly to
put it Into effect.
But the Government furnished the plan
by this action of a really sound finan
cial system, and that Is to compel all cor
porations to guarantee the redemption of
their securities In cash on demand, as banks
pay deposit oil demand, thereby putting busi
ness on n cash business. This guarantee
would automatically destroy the price of
land, which is, the largest Item of the per
petual debt that prevents tho circulation of
money In wages, this money In turn going
into business by buying labor's products.
A cash market would cause about 99 per
cent of State and national laws to die a
peaceful and most useful death, and would
release labor and capital from the shackles
that now bind it. With no land market
nothing could be sold but labor's products,
and prices of wages and commodities would
adjust themselves;

Sees Injustice to Volunteers
To the Editor 0 tho Evening PnliHo Ledger:
Sir Below Is a letter appearing In the
Army and Navy Journal of December 31,
1918, written by a volunteer on the subject
of demobilization.
' Being a volunteer, with eleven months'
overseas service to my credit, I find myself
occupying a positionvldentlcal with the writer
of tho following, which is quoted in full:
"To the Editor of tho Army and Navy
Journal: Ever since the signing of an
armistice the papers have devoted consider
able space to the methods used in demobiliz
ing the United States army. The drafted
men receive the lion's share of attention, lit
tle or no comment being made relative to the
status of the men who 'volunteered to fight
for their flag and their country. But during
the days following the first registration there
were columns filled with appeals to 'Ameri
ca's fighting men' to enlist as volunteers and
not wait to be drafted. A particular appeal
was sent out to men who had seen service
in the army previously, requesting them to
get back In the game and help build up u
nucleus for the National Army. This was
promptly answered by thousands of former
soldiers, and In behalf of these men who
helped whip the raw recruits Into fighting
material and who never expected farewell
banquets or enthusiastic send-offs and who
enlisted for the duration of the war I wish
to know why they should not be given the
preference in the demobilization proceedings.
A majority of thesejStjtfwcre well over the
first draft ageJM$2-'6ut they stepped Into
the breach llkej;Sii, believing that when tho
flnlih eame they would (as volunteers) be
given the first opportunity to return to
civilian life. As It Is, many find themselves
In the old regular army organizations and
unless preient plans of the War Department
to discharge drafted contingents first are
changed, these men will be In tho army to the
very last
"This Is not justice, and the failure to give
these volunteers a prompt discharge smacks
of undue partiality, 'a penalty on patriot
lam.'" A RETURNED SOLDuen.

SEES NATION AWAKE
TO UNIVERSAL UNITY
Albert Powell Warrington. Theo-
sophical Leader, Discusses
Reconstruction
Albert Powell Warrington, national prcl
deAt for the United States and Canada, of
tho ThcosopbIc.il Society, spoke nt the Hclle-uc-Stratford
last evening on "The Funda
mental Principles of Reconstruction." Mr.
Warrington said, In part:
"The awakening that has come (o us ns
n nation since wo entered tho war has
aroused us to the consi- nusness of our unity
as a nation. Not that nlone: we have srncil
the spirit of universal unity. See how the
periodicals of the day are rellectlng this,
every 0110 of tluui Today one can "caret lv
glance through any of them without en
countering thn most vital illiouss'ons of
problems having to do with human welfare
In nil Its phases.
"Too long brotherhood has been thought
of as a pretty sentiment, but Impractical
In l:illv life. It Is tlmo thnt the leaders of
practical material progress l.ecnn to hro
tt-at the sp'rlt of brotherhood Is the most
Intimately practical thing In life, lor It Is
based on tho most fundamental fact of ex
istence. "No one who stops to Ih'nk cin fall 'to
renll7e thnt all life Is one. nnd therefore
thnt nil real strencth. power nnd success
must come from the whole By the verv
Inw of action and renctlon If one puts forth
onerzv thnt nffects the whole, that action
automatically resets upon the door with the
power of the who'e. In the ultimate nnalvs's
there Is no success, no advantage more suro
nnd crowning than thnt which Is based on
nnse!flh nctlen Pnrodoxlcal as It seems,
tlieio Is nothing so towrrlnglv and beaut'
fullv self-advancing ns utter solf-sacrKU'O
nnd service.
"If this be true of the Individual how
nugmentedly truo Is It of aggregations of
Individuals
'This perception of nnltv we must not loe.
We must let It deepen and extend lo the
uttermost pnrts of our life We must reallzn
that the war was the culminating circum
stance In an epoch wherein tho spirit of
separnteness strove with that of unity.
"The triumph "f arms nnd diplomacy alone
will not suffice to Insure the golden ago that
must follow the dark davs that are now
closlnif behind us There must now ensue 11
penceful struggle to hold Mie unity we havo
gnlned nnd to weave it Into the garment of
the new civilization.
"The business of this planet Is to produce
a complete rnre of absolutely perfect men
end women, nnd this can never come nbout
until the' unity of the whole Ik adopted ns
the working bas's for all the affair of life.
Humanity Is In reality a single entity, a
g'ant cosmic consciousness with Individual
men as aggregated cells We must under
stand this nnd readjust all our conditions
to this understanding, else wo shall fail to do
what we enmo foj
"What this remarkable ngo requires Is a
modern Moses to lead us out of tho Egvpt of
competitive struggle Into tho land of co
operative evolution, wheieln u complete sys
tem of human training will be adopted all
over the world, whose ohject Is to develop
the human type up to Its highest possibili

M'CORMACK DELIGHTS
AN IMMENSE AUDIENCE
Metropolitan Opera House
Crowded to Hear Irish Tenor
in Fine Program
John McCormack proved Inst evening at
the Metropolitan Opera House thnt both his
power lo attract n capacity audience nnd his
ability to please that audience to the utmost
havo not waned with the passing of tho
years N'ot only was every seat In the huge
Auditorium taken, but there were nbout !60
persons seated on the stage, while bnck of
tho orchestra circle they stood five rows
deep The approval which tho vast audience
manifested lownrd the soloist and his asso
ciate, Mr. Mclleath, was In full keeping with
Its size.
Mr. McCormnck's sweet. sympnthetlo
voice, his style and his charm In lyric singing
are so well known ns to make extended com
ment superfluous. The program opened with
an aria, "To Alccste," from "Aleete," one
of the many-forgotten operas of Handel. It
gave Mr McC'ormack an opportunity to dis
play his vocal technique tho only work on
the program cnlllng for this stvlo of singing,
nnd In which he showed himself to bo as
thoroughly at homo as In the pure lyric form.
Ills next was a group of four modern
songs, "I.i Prnccslon," of Crfur Franck;
"No, Whom 1 I-ovc," of Tschalkovvsky :
"Iovp'b Pccrel," by llnntoek, and "The Star,"
of Salnt-Hnens, the last nn epeclally beauti
ful song, nltbough all were admirably
ndnpted to tho voice nnd method of the
singer. They were so cordially received that
Mr Mct'nrmnck was obliged to grant two
encores. "Hear Old Pal of Mine" nnd "Kores
of Plcardy "
After tho Intermission Mr. McCnrmack
sang four song of the class In which he Is
easily tho leading singer on tho American
concert platform, the Irish folk-song These
were "Down by the Sally Oarden," "Tht
Mght o" the Moon," "Tho Plowman's
Whistle" and "I'na llaun" They were ad
mlrably choten with regrrd to diversity of
sentiment nnd were sung with a skill In
which art anil racial feeling played equal
parts The group was rapturously received
by. the audience, nnd Mr. McCormack re
sponded with three encores, all of the same
type "Dee-oo-le-a." "Mother Maeliree" and
"MacushlH." The second of theso, one of tho
most effective numbers of the evening was
sung to that portion of tho nudlcnce which
occupied stage seats.
The doting group nlso comprised four
soiig. tho first "Thine Kyes Still Shine," be
ing composed by Kdwln Schneider, Mr Mr
Cormark's accompanist. Tht song Is an
excellent one, with an ehborato nnd expres
sive ncrompnnlment. nnd nt Its cloe Mr.
MeCormnck gracefully shared the honors
with Its compo'-er t the end if the four
songs the audience showed nn ilIpoMtnn to
leave, nnd Mr. MeCormnck gave nn cicorc
"The merlcnn ring"
It Is nt. en-tv matter to share a program
ns a fellow stilt. 1st with .Inhn MeC,,rm:ick but
llonald McP. alb the violinist, acquitted him
self admlral.lv Ills selections were well
chofen, In sympathetic accord with Mr Mc
Cormnck'i numbers, being melodious rather
than technical His tone Is rweet. Intonation
excellent, nnd everything was played In the
best of taste. Mr Mrneath uppearcd In the
uniform of the Canadian aviation corps. In
which he has served for the lnt two cars.
was ohllgcd to respond to his second ap
pearnnco with two encores nnd did his full
sharo In making the concert tho success It

today. "With wives of navy men. I was on

tho gifts and good cheer. Tho boys hung over
the decks to watch us coming, and such a
rousing welcome as wp received 1
"The men on tho Lea, the destroyer fitted
up here, were so overjoyed they decided to
give us a pirty. When they saw us headed
their way they dressed up for us. fired off
their pistols In salute nnd then Invited us
to stay to tea. It was n most delightful,
happy time, and there was a lot of talk
ahout Philadelphia and the loved ones here.
