ANY ONE who looks twice at the tex ,xjl tile strike in Kensington mut ica' ize that it has giovvn to ho si iriievous labor disturbance. As it stands it sug gests that human leason is futile, that we in this city aic not observing right ideals of industrial eo-opeiation and that, while force and attrition have been '"utterly discredited everywhere else in the world as means to a rational end. force and attrition still are to prevail in labor disputes in America, Immeasurable hardship and endless loss have resulted so far from the dead lock created between tiro mill owners and their employes. Each side is being accused by the other of being stiff ' necked, irreconcilable and unfair. The faith of many thousands of people in our native ability to live and work in amity and good will is being shaken and de stroyed, and there is a sense of bitter .ness and despair not only among those who are participants in the dispute, but among many who are merely thoughtful observers of the situation. The strike has gone too far. Those who may be responsible for it, whether on "one side or the other or on ,both sides, are doing a great deal of l'harm beyond the circle of their own in terests. The agencies of mediation pro vided by the federal government have been disregarded. The trouble, what ever it actually is, should be brought out into the light and discussed and ad justed without any further delay in the interest of the community, the woikers nnd the business men themselves, and, above all, for the good namp of this great , industrial city. SAFEGUARD THE PEDESTRIAN rpHE swinging-sign menace worked its inexcusable and familial havoc during last week's destructive gale. The pedes trians who were injured by these excres cences were not directly victims of an "act of God," but an act of man, a dan gerous act which has long lacked ade quate regulation in this city. The heavy projecting signs which so disfigure many of our streets that they look like thor oughfares in a "rube town" aie always likely to come crashing to the pavement when a severe wind blows The fact is perfectly well known, and yet the abuse continues. If the esthetic reason for removing these blatant perils is xegarded as insufficient, surely the harm that they work ought to be enough to condemn them. Respect for the "safety-first" principle may be helpful to the citizen in some instances. It may teach him to avoid-lccklessness with re gard to autos and trolley cars, but he hasn't- a. chance when the wind rips heavy metal signs from their moorings. Artistic and personal security on our streets will both be enhanced if a ban on the overhead disfigurements is effec tively enforced. WHAT THE POLL SHOWED QJUCII opposition as there is in America to the league-of-nations plan was strongest in the East. The poll just completed bv this newspaper indicates that in this typical eastern community the people are two to one in favor of modernizing the system of international relationships in the manner proposed by the American delegates at Paris. The peace treaty will he ratified by the1 Senate. Ours is still a government of the people. Collective opinion in the United States Jias never been founded on mistaken judgments of men or issues. Bigots, cliques, political mandarins and the ivied mind are given plenty of freedom because we are a liberal minded people. But they never prevail in a crisis.

Because of these pleas the New York Senate has appropriated $1,000,000 as the state's share for pioliminary work on tho tunnel. The lower house is ex pected to agico to the appropriation. Tho New Jeney Legislatute has set asido a similar sum for its share of the prelim inary work. The port of Philadelphia suffers under no such'hnndicop. Thcic is room on tho Philadelphia side of the Delaware for moio pieis than have been built, and those that we now have arc easily ac cessible from every business house in the city. When New York admits its disadvan tages is the time for Philadelphia to ex ploit its advantages so that every ship per in the country may be aware of them. A NEW ERA FOR WOMEN IS BEGINNING AT PARIS t'nitci h1 Suffrage M.iy Yet He Accepted n? a Contiuitic Principle in the Pioress of World Iteailju'tinciit TNDLESS mental readjustments will lie necessary in pontics and in states manship after peace is signed. But in l elation to women's place in the new ordeied woild civilization will have to levise iituully all of its inherited opin ions. 'I he acknowledgment by the Peace Confeiencu of women's right to repre sentation on its subsidiary committers and in tho councils to lie established under a league of nations is not in tho least suipusing. Such recognition comes in' obedience to an overwhelming diift of popular opinion abroad. When the world has a moment or two for cool and lational observation it will perceive that the causes of feminism have been car ried forwaid with amazing swiftness by the war. Universal suffiagc must be lcgarded now as an imminent icality. And, though it will lcpiesent an cxpeiimcnt as great as the institution of democratic government, it is to be regarded not merely as a movement in political evo lution, but as a depaiture certain to have profound effects upon the moral, ethical and spiritual life of the times imme diately ahead. " Only those who think in routine forms have supposed that it was restlessness or curiosity that piompted women to agi tate for the vote. The demand for the franchise represents nothing but the un spoken and sometimes subconscious de sire of women everywhere to meet life upon even terms and to face the prob lems of their new existence with a proper equipment. They have been driven out into the world by the force of economic evolution. Often enough they have had to take their childicn with them into the fight. Many of the tasks that occupied them in the old-fashioned seclusion are now performed, in factories. The pres sure of living costs, the demands and opportunities of industry have made their places at home less secure and less inviting. The war quickened the efforts and the imagination of women everywhere and brought them responsibilities as heavy as those that usually fall to men. Their desite for a voice in legislation, for in fluence in tho places where laws are made that regulate their own lives and the lives of their children is not the le sult of the sort of perversity which standpat politicians love to talk about. It represents, rather, a definite effort for self-preservation. If equal suffrage is Wrong then mod ern industrialism is wrong, for one must be the direct result of the other. Anti-suffragists have insisted that when women vote mnny of tho qualities of heart and mind and spirit that they contribute as dominating moral forces to modern civilization must suffer deterio ration by the contacts of matter-of-fact competition in the places where life is hard and unsheltered. In England it-has been found that as women have acquired independence and the status of ''industrial entities" they have not been slow to revolt against many of those domestic institutions which were founded upon their earlier humility and their habits of isolation at home. Where this tiend will lead no one knows. A society which complacently accepted all' the conditions that made women's competition with mei) impera tive can only hope for the best. That best may be far better than even the most optimistic suffragists have dared to vision for themselves. The ulti mate contest, when it comes in politics and in the common life of peoples, will be between the inherent spirituality and conservatism of women and tho cynical materialism that mars much of the gov ernmental and political philosophy of the present days. It will not do to say that what is best in this instance is certain of defeat and despoliation. The quali ties that arc good and great have a habit of surviving in this world against all tides. All women are naturally conservative and in their own narrowpr circle their lives are consecrated to right principles. Much of the strength of America comes as a spiritual gift from the small homes in which women have always served with their unbelievable patience and their love of decent and aspiring things and their gifts of tenderness. One must' be practiced in cynicism who will ouppo3e that such ancient attributes as these can bo destroyed by contact with a busy world. Isn't it more logical to believe that the spirit of womanhood may rise more splendidly to tho chal lenge, that ancient mis lenge, that it is unconquerable upon an ancient mission? $o -far ic their atlytnt- in roll- 1 1.A. 1. ... . EVENING- 5?UBH0 LEDGfiR-PHttADEDPHIA, JViONDAY, ,"MABM:aH tlcs'haVc gone blunderingly at times nnd at times they have been futile nnd naive. But tncy havo been experimenting with an unfamiliar method and they havo been hampered by a very great virtue of their own a habit of thinking In funda mentals. Thus the sages at Washington smiled charitably whpn Miss Jcanelte Rankin, the Representative from Mon tana, broke into tenrs as sho voted for American participation in the war. But what is modern war that n people should engage in it without bitter re gret? The lady from Montana wept, doubtless, because some ancient instinct told her war was infinitely cruel and wronfe and wasteful and, above nil, in conclusive. Would mankind bo poorer or richer if, elsewhere nnd in other governments, theie had been statesmen who could feel similarly about it before they issued their edicts and doomed millions through secret orders to their vassals in tho dip lomatic madhouses? Miss Rankin's tears were much writ ten about, and it is probable tlint they solved to end her political career. And yet her instinctive judgment and her re vulsion from the hideous prospect of a war like the last one may, in the end, have been founded in a sort of sanity that long ngo depatted from a great many statesmen who still can think of war without any sense of its essential barbarity. The worst that men can say about suffrage represents an extraordinarily sweeping indictment of men themselves. "Women,' almost any immovable patty politician will tell you, "will always vote as their husbands tell them to. If tltey don't vote as their husbands tell them to vote they will vote the way they think the men will vote. So they shouldn't have the ballot!" The hope of the world nowadays is that women will not vote always as their husbands vote. And it isn't likely that they will. For women are being educated not only in the colleges, but in shops and factoiies in their struggle for a living. They seem to know a great deal more than they used to about the maladjustments and tho faults of modern politics and modern society. And they have gone about their fight for tho fran chise as if they mean to set some of these things right or die. FRANCE IMPERILING PEACE TpALSE to the terms upon which the armistice was signed, and false therc foie to her own plighted word and that of her allies and' her enemy, is the demand of France that the peace treaty shall authorize her expansion into the Saar basin. The eighth of Mr. Wilson's fourteen points, which with two exceptions formed the basis of the truce, expressly stated that the invaded poitions of Franco should be restored and that the wrong inflicted upon her by Prussia "in the matter of Alsace-Lorraine" should be righted. The justice of these claims is incon testable, but any further tenitorial ex-' pansion would be a deathblow to the whole moral fiber of the Paris confer ence. The Saar Valley, lying just be yond the Lorraine frontier, is an im mensely rich coal field and denials that this is why the legion is coveted are obviously unconvincing. Justification is sought in the scroll of history, but such tactics if approved are guaranteed to throw the whole process of world reconstruction into hopeless confusion. It is true that a portion of the Saar country, including Saarlouis, the birthplace of Marshal Ney, was French from the reign of Louis XIV until after the battle of Waterloo. It is true that France possessed the town of Saarbruck from 1793 until 1815 and Saarburg from 1727 until 1815. But it is true also that the Counts of Nassau- Saarbruck and the electors of Treves were masters of parts of that u'ch coun try before the seventeenth centuiy. Long previous to that cycle the Roman eagles were piedominant. Before their sway Celtic and Gothic barbarians had possession. A statute of limitations in any case in which the testimony of his tory is invoked must be lecognized if boundary questions are to be saved from utter absurdity. Arguing ,by analogy, the Fiench policy would justify the return of the American colonies to Great Britain or, pursuing the matter still further, it would give validity to the still earlier wholesale partitioning of the Americas between Spain and Portugal. The principle upon which civilization was to be revived, when France, with the rest of the nations that helped to save her, agreed to make peace, supposedly involved no sympathy for such perni cious nonsense. It is equally antagonis tic to such trickery as that by which France now seeks to grab the Saar basin. It had no patience with any game to keep Poland landlocked. It has none now, but how can the iniquitous German maneuvering to prevent the bestowal of justice on Poland be honestly combated if France should stain the victory of de cency and right with selfish aggression ? Deviation from the perfectly clear in tent of the fourteen points regarding territorial aggrandizement is calculated to plunge the Peace Conference into moral anarchy. France has suffered cruelly from the war, but any superficial grandeur she may gain through greed will bo an evil sham, as was Germany's. Moreover, any peace treaty which will tolerate the scheme now afoot will not only in the end imperil France, but all of mankind. A cynical peace with tho original high' principles ignored, can bring naught but a breathing spell be fore another cosmic tragedy. ; Frankiln D, Roosevelt Is authority for the statement that there are 4000 more men working in the navy yards of the country than there were when tho armi stice w'aB signed. Which would seem to indicate that the administration is still working toward its goal of, the largest navy in tue foiio.

That estimate was reduced subse quently, but the Committee on Appropria tions concluded that the ser Ice was too expenshe and made no piovislon for It.

When the imperial chancellery In Berlin was besieged by the Spartacans one of the grievances ot the German statesmen was that they had to sleep two In a bed. Tho Berlin Neue Frele Presse says: Scheidemann and one of his secretaries occupy the great doublo bed of the chan cellor and his wife. Scheidemann protests angrily that he does not snore. Only Landsberg Is venturesome erlough to go home every night in spite of the Sparta cans and in spite of the fact that he is easily identified by his remarkable red beard, One of the strange things about snoring is that those who snore loudest cannot possibly be persuaded of that fact. It Is our guess that Lenine snores llkd a gatllng gun. According to the Berlin Neue Frele Presse, Lenine is reported to have said: "Among 100 Bolshevlkl -there are one ideal ist, twenty-nine criminals and seventy fools." Lenine ought to know. Bill Shepherd, a correspondent for whom we have considerable respect, says: "I should hate to have to go back to Potro grad, Into the homes of the working peo ple I knew tjhere, and try to tell them that Lenine nnd Trotzky were right.
