Meanwhile every facility at the disposal of the fedeial authorities is being used to reduce the cost of living. Unless picsbure from Washington and the fprce of publc opinion prove inade quate to lestrict or abolish profiteeiing a circumstance that is altogether un likely shipyard workers would in the end find themselves prettv well off under the existing wage ratrs. Yet it is to force the government and the shipping board to provide further in creases that labor leadets have agitated for a strike which threatens to close Hog Island. Here, as well as in Pittsburgh, there are tigns to indicate that the wage question is but an incident in a cam paign of unrest designed primarily to paralyze essential industries over a wide field, to bring about depression and hard ship and to aid the narrow group of radi cal agitators who feel that they and their aESOciates ought to have power as great or greater than that of the constituted Eoyernment The men at Hog Island and at other yards will be ill advihed if they should strike before their grievances and claims have been submitted to the industrial conference soon to meet in Washington. It is at this confcience that attempts will be made to find a rational solution for questions such ds employers and em ployes alike have been accustomed to set tle by the crude and costlv method of strikes and lockouts. In this instance ship workers in eastern yards are being asked to support a policy which is de tractive, un-American and in the final analysis unpatriotic. HELP THE ORCHESTRA "CWEN before the war devastated the J-J Boston Orchestra the magnificent or ganization directed in this city by Mr. Stokowski was being regarded as the best of its kind in the world. There is no question now of the pre-eminence of the Philadelphia Orchestra. It is unequaled. It owes its existence to the generosity, the artistic discrimination and the pub lic spirit of the group of men and women who met its deficits in the days when deficits were largo and frequent. The whole city was benefited immeasurably by the work of the organization and life has been made richer for innumerable people who at the winter concerts re ceived their first introduction to the really significant literature of music. In Europe the municipalities, aware of the social and educational value of great or . chestras, contribute liberally to their maintenance. Those who gave their money to estab lish the Philadelphia Orchestra have es tablished a public institution of an indis pensable sort. The public ought to wel come the privilege to aid in maintaining it and increasing its prestige. Doubt less the public will when the campaign begins in October for the $1,000,000 en dowment which the orchestra needs if it is to continue in its present form. HOW TO PLAY GOOD CARDS t(T BELIEVE' declared Dr. Paul S. -" Reinsch, fdrme'r United States min ister to China, ''that Japan holds a trump card if she will only play it. That is to return everything wrung from China by .Germany and to retain only the privilege of entering Shantung on equal terms with the rest of the world." In other words, the finest hand in any game is best directed by a sense of fair play. Germany stacked her cards and lost- It is refreshing to note that Doctor Reinsch is among those statesmen -who have not yet forgotten that pregnant fact. THE MEMORY OF A VOICE k t K URAL memories are tricky, but re- garding Adelina Patti the complete concert of retrospective opinion cannot be, discounted. That hers was the most celestial voice which ever graced the realm of song has for .years been an accepted' fact in musical history, Tho lack' of phonographs in her heyday ,hks compelled the newer generations to take the verdict on faith, with the curious result that in the artistic sense Patti .herself! while shel stilt lived, passed into the. enjoyment of unchallenged posthu ippus fame. "None "of the,)amentable and numerous "farewell" tours tarniahed the recollection of those silvery tones which TfU? .capHUed the world in the sixties, sev $Y etlerand eighties of the last tentury, ".u TAe, distinction was emphatically vt drawn between the Baroness Cederatrom, vfko& vocal pWrs had Jne.vjtab.ly de- cayed, and,, fhe fonricr queen of the operatic and concert stages. Modernists in-music have occasionally questioned the appeal of a voice of the Patti timbre today. The diva was not noted for her acting, and except in cer tain passages of "Aida," none of her vehicles contained 'a hint of music drama. It is incontestable, however, that when ever a soprano of bird-like and fluty tones soars into the musical firmament she is rapturously received, even though it is necessary to dutt oil the old purely lyric operas. The way In which the memory of Patti I at the peak of her career is treasured proves the permanency of taste stand ards in the matter of radiant song. AMBASSADOR LORD GREY, PREACHER OF AN OLD GOSPEL World Peace Can Come About Only Through the Rule of Men of Good Will 0N A w years starlight night nearly M00 ears ago on tho enstern chores of the McditPriancan angels appeared in tho heaens and proclaimed "pence on earth to men of good will." The two thousand yenis since that mo mentous night have been twenty cen turies of wars. Peace has not come. It' moves so slowly that we sometimes de spaii of its ever coming. Wo aie saying even now that war cannot be abolished, for we insist that issues will arise over which men will fight. We do not sem to hae faith that theie ever will be enough men of good will to make the men of bad will understand that it does not pay to tiy to get what they want by going to WHr over it. In iew of the slow progress of the woild towaid the goal of ultimate peace, the statiment of his purposes with which I.oid Giey of Kalloden, the new Briti-h ambassador, signaled his landing on American soil is mightily significant. Lord Grey reminds us that we have to make n new stait after this great war to rcpeir the Old World and to build a bet- i tor one. He says that the greatest se I cuiity against futuie war and the most I peimanent cure for the evils of war lie i in good will," and he announces that it I will be the object of his mission to ! strengthen the good will between the English and the American peoples in the hope that this may le.id to greater inter national good will on the broadest possi ble basis. Hate has divided the world for the past five years. Like a knife with a inzor edge it has cut old relations and sev ered old bonds, and its effects are still troubling us and will trouble us for a generation in sp'te of all that can be done. Yet Lord Grey's effort is worth while and it is the only thing that is worth while. Peace cannot come about by stressing hate and keeping old grudgos alive, nor can it be attained by magnifying differences and exploiting selfish interests. It is of supreme impoitance that good will between the two branches of the Englisi- speaking race bo cultivated. More than 150,000,000 inhabitants of the globe speak the English language, a greater number by 30.000,000 than speak any of the other languages of the west ern world. These people do more than speak the same language. They are grounded in the principles of democracy, for they have inherited from common ancestors the fruits of the great struggle for liberty which resulted in the recogni tion of the right of the common man to enjoy all the privileges of life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness. As Tenny son finely said, our governments are "broad based on the people's will." As each man is interested in the preserva tion of his own rights he is jealous of the rights of others, lest, if they be denied, his own may be destroyed also. The political institutions of America and the British isles rest on that mutual good will which is the cornerstone of all democ racy. If the English-speaking nations enn exhibit to the world the results of inter national good will through the develop ment of the friendliest possible under standing between the peoples and the most amicable adjustment of all dis putes tho ultimate triumph of that peace of which the angels sang will be a little nearer. But it will not come until there is good will among all the nations, those which have been hating one another in recent years and those which by fighting for a common cause have discovered that they have many interests in common. We shall have to lay aside all feelings of hostility and tell ourselves that all the nations of the earth have common inter ests. We need not ignore the fact that they have conflicting desires, but if we stress the points of agreement and culti vate them they will gradually spiead and cover all the old sores as a properly dressed wound heals, leaving only a scar to show where it had been. It will not be easy to do this, because human nature is perverse, but the effort is worth the making. When we calmly consider the matter we are compelled to admit to ourselves that there is no other process under heaven or known among men by which the world can be saved and peace established on firm foundations. We knofr that it will bring industrial peace as well as international peace, as we discover every day that it will bring about harniony among individuals. The greatest mistake we can make at the present time is to consider these great problems with our back toward the future. The past is past and it should be allowed to bury its dead. There is a shining goal ahead of us toward which we should face, keeping our eyes upon it. Grim energy and resolute courage will be necessary if we are to prevent our selves from being turned aside to dig in the muck of current controversies and past quarrels, as the Senate is now paw ing over the, chips that were made in framing the great structure of the peace treaty in the hope of finding something that will cpmpromise one or mc-re of its builders. That treaty is an nttempt to increase the.arpa of good wijl in the EVENING PUBLIC LEDGER - world, and as such, in spite, of its defects, It deseives the support of all who arc hoping that the peace of which the angels sang was something more than the. base less fabric of a dream. The progress of good wilt Isj like that of the tortoise in tho famous fable of the race with the hare. Many of the rulers of the world have been like the hare. They have thought that they cotfld reach the jjoal quickly and they have sunk into the nightmarc-buidcned sleep of war,' while the men of good will have been slowly plodding along in the direction of the bright goal toward which their hearts are yearning. But war does not bring the peace of good will. It retards it. There can be no permanent peace of any kind until good will dominates the hearts and pui poses of men and through them controls the policies of nations. There was a time when ambassadors were sent from onp nation to another to deal in trickery and deception, and that time was not so very long, ago cithei. But when the .ambassador from one gicat nation to another announces that his purpose is to develop to his utmost the friendliest possihle relations between two nations, which alike desite nothing but jjstice, the fust glimmer of a new dawn has. shown itself above the horizon. LIMITS OF PATIENCE rpHOSE who agree with President Wil- son and those who disagree with him are alike nowadays in feeling that he has done his utmost for the people and the governments of Europe and has ventured as far in efToits to guide and pacify them as he may iafely go. . There are limits to American patience. The time has come to inquire whether the Piesident ma." properly bring further "piessure" to bear on Japan in relation to Shan tung or on Italy in relation to tho Fiumc controveisy. Viscount Kato has just announced that the Japanese will hold on to Shantung. The party in Italy which wishes to hold Fiume is a pretty powerful one. If the further peace of the wot Id nnd the destiny of tho league of nations are to be threat ened by these issues the fault is not Mr. Wilson's. Nor can any blame lest upon America. There are statesmen and gov ernments in Europe who are far more dependent for their safety upon the suc cessful establishment of a league of na tions. They, more than America, have a right to be concerned with the crisis in the Adriatic and tho confusion in China. We as a nation have little to gain by inviting the enmity of one or another foreign government. Nor will we be jus tified in fighting to protect peoples and governments who seem unwilling to fight for themselves. There is too great a tendency among European statesmen to depend upon the President of the United States whenever "pressure" is to be brought elsewhere. If the men who direct the affairs of Europe prefer to risk anothei avalanche rather than make the open fight for decency that they seem unwilling to make the consequences will be for them to face.

It was in IS!)!!. Andrew E. Watrous. whom I have mentioned nbove. J "Hampton Moon-, L. C. Howland and myself were among the newspaper correspondents on the ground from Philadelphia. The striking mill men were largely Eng lish and Irish. I went alone from Pitts burgh, nnd the instant I stepped from the train nt Homestead was met by a committee of striKers, who demanded to know my busi ness. , Every arriving stranger was questioned. The men were' on the lookout for strike breakers. 1 was compelled to show the palms of my hands and they were closely scanned for callouses and small cuts, the honor badge of an ironwoiker. As I started uptown I discovered that I was being followed by a little crowd of strikers, who were still sus picious of my intentions. Everything was in a whirl of excitement, for the men were also expecting a visit from the Pinkertons. As I enteied a lestaurant for lunch a crowd gathered around the door. An indi vidual under suspicion had no business at that time In Homestead. I walked fo the rear of the restaurant, passed through the kitchen to the buck jnrd nud into an nlley and thence by a side street to the bank of the Monongnheln river. 1 pnid a mnn (Jli to row me to the other side, where I .got a train to Pittsburgh (Jencral (ieoige H. Snbwdcu, of Philadel phia, was then major general commanding the National Guard. Three days later the Third Jlrignde. commanded by General J. P. S. Gobin, camped on the hills above the strikc'toru little ity and peace was gradu ally restored. IT WAS on this memorable occasion that J. Hampton Moore first displayed that ten dency to conciliate difficulties which has led to much of his success in political life. Sitting on a hillside above the silent mills one afternoon, Moore and Watrous fell into a discussion of the Homestead situation. Moore Insisted that something should be done to 'end: the bloodshed land strife. He tried to induce Watrous to accompany him' on a mission to interview Hugh O'bonnell, the strike leader, aud afterward the Carnegie people, in the hope of arbitration or adjust ment., Watrous, by nature a gentle soul, de clined, The iight had gone too far, he tu slsted, Moreover, he declared that O'Don uell was a fire eater who would resent such " interference. Thp fact was, ns I afterwnrd discovered from personal contact with O'Donnell, that he, was a very mild-mannered sort of chap, impulsive and impetuous, but obsessed with a 'hatred of Andrew Carnegie, The outcome of all the talk was that the ' proposed conciliation scheme was born and died thai same aitcrnoon on tne Homestead hills. The fact is now seeping into the Vara1 intelligence bureau thnt .7. Hampton .Moore was nominated for Mayor at the KepublL can primary election.

My ticket tnkc3 me to New Orleans, but I'm not going a step further just now. Well, and vvhnt do I think of your glorious country? Sir, it is immense. It is fine to be back. It is a vast improvement upon Europe. I will go further: It is an improvement upon the United States of five years ago. People are kinder. I mean the general rgu of people, conductors, telephone girls, barkeeps and cops. The whisky even seems to me to taste better, though why that should be, when there isn't any, I leave you to explain. Mind, I must say hospitality has its responsibilities. It can be carried too far. As when I stood at Forty-second street and Ilroadwny or thereabouts and asked a stranger if he knew n place where I could wash my hands. He smiled bcatlfically and said he did. He led mc by one of my brnBS buttons (I was in uniform) and in due course we arrived before a Door to which one needs no Key. And he told me to apply at the lower end on the left. And I did, saying politely that I wished to wash my hands. And the white-aproned servitor, who seemed to be washing his own hands "with invisible soap in imperceptible water," said it was forty cents, including a gargle for 'the throat. And I sat down the Empty Glass, as old Omar says one should, and passed out and along the city ways mar veling greatly, and wns nearly run down by a Pulmotor Six which was bearing n brewer's widow to n temperance conference at the Sazcra Hotel. B UT everybody is so kind it is heartless to discriminate. The Hritish naval at tache was bubbling with good nature when I reported to him. He offered me $4 for all the pound Bterling notes t could spare. The Hritish ministry of shipping gave me a perfectly good blessing. The baggage man on the steamer soaked me magnificently for handing my gear to some one else to trans port to Nutley. The United States immi gration authorities deigned to accept one pound sixteen shillings head tax. I've never been so fussed about in my life.
