Vacationists hjire been known to depart leaving win dows of their houses unfastened, shut- unbolted and even doors unlocked. olicc vigilance is imperatively needed and must be made as strict as is com patible with the resources of the De partment of Public Safety. But the house owner or lessee shares a portion ot the responsibility. The apparent case with which recent ries have been committed casts a highly disturbing reflection on protec tive methods now in use. t THOSE FUTILE EAGLE BOATS TilB Ford-built Eagle 'Si of tragic memory is to be scrapped. As re pairs to make her as "seaworthy" ns hir sister submarine chasers were prob ably possible, the Navy Department's decision may be interpreted as an in dictment of the whole class of the di minutive ships. Faulty design characterized many of I them, and in nddition the entire pro r gram is now clouded with doubts. There are some sixty of these vessels, including- the one most striking failure which lies in the League Island yard. Nothing can now be gained by dis- gulsing certain facts of the war. The Eagle boats, if not all of them were positively unsafe, were on the whole futile. The wooden commerce ship k venture was an extravagant fiasco. The famous Monitor as a feat of American naval invention in a crisis retains its splendid isolation. THE HEART OF T4HE CRISIS JUDGMENT upon the ho-cnlled . "split" between Great Britain and France regarding Russian policies must bo premature until something definite emerges from Minsk. The Soviet Government has changed Its peace basis many times. The same iij true of Poland. The conference within the Russian lines is expected to cfarify n situation the obscurity of vylilch has Increased lt perils. If the recent protestation of Russia concerning the integrity of Poland has been correctly reported it would ob viously be nn act of extreme folly to continue the conflict. On the other h'pnd, the fenrs of Bolshevist duplicity rioy be justified. The Polish commis sjonera, disillusioned as to the military ppwess of their notion, are now fare to face with accredited representatives of tfielr foes. fTho delegates from Warsaw, if they arc men of any penetration, have at last an opportunity to measure the words of tfieir opponents with tho psychologic ejrldjnces, with their genernl bearing nnd implications of purpose. Personal contact ought to clear up much of the confusion. "In any event, he fate of Warsaw is secpndary in its effect on civilization to tpe outcome of the Minsk meeting. No cpnferencp so tronscendently important h'as been held since the armistice pro ceedings in the woods of Compiegne. THE DECLINING BIRTH RATE WHILE quite correctly admitting that the "craze for pleasure is a hcritago that has been handed down through many generations," E. J. Cnt tfll'a Interesting reflections on the de cline of the Philadelphia birth rntc are ny no menus ruiiiiaeu 10 generalities. The city statistician particularizes and especially stresses those popular modern diversions in the pursuit of which par flits flatly regard the presence of chil dren as a nuisnnce. Family , picnics, family excursions, J.a;lc pleasures, undoubtedly possess a 9, tlHCl V. flavor of the archaic nowaday.

Mr flatlcll cites also the movies as nnothcr allurement ! from which the youngsters are barivd 1 by their elders, but this case does not ' seem to be clearly proved. There arc some critics of our civilization who wish i it were. ' Another important factor in its effect ' on the birth rate is, of course, tbc immi gration shortage, which Air. Cattell cites. Hut nn influx of foreigners here proves nothing concerning the funda mental habits of the people. It is undeniable that not only in , Philadelphia but throughout the nation (here is n lowered birth rnto in Ameri can families. The rich can ufford the ' luxury of children. The less fortunate bhlanco values and in the general sweep of self-indulgence encumbrances meet with disfavor. i The problem Is exceedingly complex, i since while much misery exists In over crowded countries, a diminished birth rate has almost Invariably through his tory been a forerunner of national or j civic decadence. GREAT FORTUNES ARE NO LONGER DISSIPATED The Rowland Family Gets Only a Small Part of tho Sum Which Searles Added to the Hop kins Millions rnim bequest of $1,000,000 nnd a grent estate ot Methuen. Mors., to Mrs. Mary A. Rowland nnd her chil dren, of Melrose Park, by her cousin, the late Edward F. Searles, disposes of but a small part or the fortune of the testator. The comparative nieager ness of the amount cnlls attention to the disposition of the residuary estate nnd suggests some reflections on the fate of large American fortunes. Arthur T. Walker, described In the will as a "friend," receives tho bulk of the Searles fortune, estimated at $00,000,000. Mr. Walker's share, it is said, will be ?50.000,000. The fortune Is that which Mark Hopkins, a partner of C. P. Hunting ton, accumulated in building the Cen tral Pacific and the Southern Pacific Railroads. Hopkins had no children. Ho hod odopted ns his son a baby boy named Timothy Nolan, and the child was brought up with the understand ing that he wos to be the heir. If this plan hod been carried out the Hopkins millions would hnvo gone into the pos session of some one not of the Hopkins blood. The widow Inherited the estate in the first instance. Jt included three or four lnrge mansions in different parts of the country. She was a woman of tostc and refinement, and she employed Edward F. Senrles. who had been n decorator und furniture salesman, to assist her in refurnishing her houses nnd redecorating them. She was be tween sixty -five nnd seventy years old. Senrles wos about forty-five. The tostes of the two proved to be congenial, nnd in the course of time Mrs. Hopkins nsked him to marry her. He a-ked for n yeor to consider the matter, At the end of that period he asked her to marry him. and she consented. She lived six or eight years in apparent happiness nnd contentment, nnd when she died it as found that she hod left her whole fortune to her husband. It wns then said to amount to !?:.0.000,000. The ndopted son contested the will and the suit was settled by the payment to him of $3,000,000. Then the nopkins for tune passed into the hands of a man whom Hopkins never knew. The greater part of the fortune now passes still farther from the Hopkins family into the hands of the business agent of Searles. If it shall appear that Walker was largely responsible for doubling the amount which Searles in herited from his wife no one need be surprised. If this proves to be true then a reason for allowing Walker to enjoy the results of his business acu men can be found. The doubling of the Hopkins fortune indicates that we havo entered upon a new phase of socinl development in America. It used to be said that the heirs of the man who accumulated riches squandered their inheritances. And it was often true. Tho hard headed man of business wns frequently too much occupied in accumulating money to give any attention to training his sons to tnke care of it. We had no laws intended to conserve wealth ns they have in Great Britain, and the untrained sons did not know how to care for that which had come into their possession. Their children had to start in poverty where the grandfather had begun. ti,. Attne fnmllv wns for venra about the only notable exception to this rule. This was largely Because nie as tor lor tune wns invested in New York real estate nnd because it wns the family policy never to sell any land. The growth of the city multiplied the value of the original purcnases so uiat wun nil the subdivisions by will there is hRrdly an Astor in the direct lino to .I who is not richer than the man who started the fortune. But the Vonderbllt family, the wealth of which is invested in railroads, is fast rivaling the Astors. William K. Vonderbllt, the grandson of tho old .ino whn iicpft to run a ferrv- boot from Statcn Island to New ork, died a weoK or two ago wun u loriune twice as big as that which he inherited from his father. The Vonderbllt great grandchildren are manifesting the same skill in keeping nnd enlarging their In heritances. And the Morgan grand children have inherited the commercial geniuH of Julius Spencer Morgan, who grew rich ns a New England banker. The wealth o tho du Ponta, which stnrted with the accumulations of Pierre, who died In 1817, is so great that it would have dazzled the old Frenchman who came to America to Feek his fortune more than a hundred years ago. Scores of other instnnees will occur to the reader. There are many of them here in Philadelphia, not quite s0 well known ns some of those mentioned, but illustrating the some development in the sons to add to that which the fathers have accumulated. In the early history of the country we had a hoeial as well ns a political democracy. There were variations in tho wealth of the people, it is true, but tho wealth of most wus in the hands of the men who had accumulated it. We hnd no large population brought up In luxury with nn unsatisfied wonts. The number of men with nn incorao of $1,000,000 n yenr is as great today as the total number of millionaires In the whole country in 1800, and the internal revenue collector has recently reported that there are more than -'0,000 mil- Uoimlres in the United States this year. As most of them lire In the northeast ern part of the country It Is likely that tho average for the group Is at least .iwu in enen stale. A signilfcant fact to be noted is that we no longer henr It sold that no man enn moke $1,000,000 honestly. It him begun to down on the consciousness of even the most radical that the oppor tunities for acquiring wealth are so great that there Is almost no limit to the sum thnt n man mny get by the ap plication of prudence nnd audacity in business. Wp have a buying public of more thnn 100,000.000 within the rench of the enterprising. There never was n market like It before in the history of the world. We must adjust our thinking to the new conditions, just as the holders of great fortunes arc recognizing their vbllgntlons to the people ns n whole. As In no other country the Amerlcnu rich man Is endowing colleges, found- inc art cnllcrles nnd libraries and con-1 trlbuting to the support of hospltnls nnd churches because he regards him self as n trustee charged with a re sponsibility for the proper ndmlnlstra tion of his estate. The exceptions cnll intention to the rule. Inheritance Ihwh intended to appro priate to the state large fortunes arc sometimes advocated, but so long as every boy grows up with the hope that he may leave millions to his sons such laws arc bound to he unpopular. Equality of opportunity and cqunlity of protection for the rich nnd the poor is what hns mode America distinguished among the nations. So long as these conditions prevail the people can con template the future with equanimity. THE TICKLISH LEAGUE ISSUE TN HIS address ot Wheeling on Sat 'urday Governor Cox accused tho Republicans of abandoning the League of Nations in favor of a " 'hope that an entirely new arrangement might be mnde In the world's affairs." In con trast to this nttltudc, unfairly ascribed to the Republican party as a whole, tho Democratic candidate interprets his own platform as sanctioning such rati fication of the covenant ns will "hold our own interests free from peril" nnd nctunlly nppenrs to allude to the rejec tion of reservations ns an offense. This viewpoint niid the one com monly understood to he President Wil son's provide interesting material for comparison, nnd it is not difficult to discern on the part of Mr. Cox an effort to discuss the league with considerable caution. He is perhaps feeling his way to a comprehension of public opinion. Senator Harding seems to have pursued somewhat the same course. The result is a quantity of cloudy verbiage, and the worst of it is that the fog is not unlikely to grow denser. The lenguc is not inherently nor can it ever be legitimately a partisan issue. It is n forward-looking program of for eign policy, and foreign policy, as this paper has repeatedly pointed out, is an unsuitable campnigu topic, for the very sufficient reason that American public opinion upon it Is not divisible upon rigid, explicit lines. There are innumerable shadings of judgment concerning the league on both sides of the political fence. Mr, Cox's espousal of the cause, whatever his lan uage, is certaiuly differently keyed from Mr. Wilson's. Mr. Harding's recent analyses of it plainly differ from ex Presldent Tnft's. A campaign refer endum on the covenant and all the problems attached to its ratification cannot present the case in the vivid blacks or whites suggested by Mr. Wil son in his Jackson Day message. The political captains of both parties cannot be entirely happy over a ticklish sit uation. It might ns well be admitted thnt the American people were naturally dis posed in favor of the league and that both parties in their obstinacy and under the shadow of a coming election blundered disgustingly in establishing n deadlock. The flowers of stupidity nnd small vision bloom in the present embarrass ment from which neither rival comp is entirely exempt. Those who patronize Ponzls nnd their Kind are not nil suckers. There nrc among thera "wlscheimcrs" who figure that first comers may make money if they invest nnd quit soon enough. Interest attaches, therefore, to tho in vestigation being made by the attorney gcneral'M office to doterminc whether action may be taken to compel all per sons who cashed their notes on Ponzi, matured nnd unmatured, to turn their money back into a common fund for equol distribution nraong nil notehold ers. Such action would also prove a salutary lesson to the speculators who, after the first hint of trouble, bought up the notes nt n discount. There is justification for the fusion of Republicans nnd Democrats in four New York congressional districts for the purpose of defeating the Socialist candidates. Americans who are also natiounls must needs combine to defent the enomy in their midst who declares for Internationalism, who knows no country nnd Is opposed to the principles on which our present civilization is founded. And this without prejudice to the rights of Socialist-American citi zens to believe nnd ndvocnto what they please so that they do so In accordance with the laws of the land. Boston has Sin.000,000 to snend on houses for the houseless, and its City Council has instructed the mayor to proceed immediately with the work. New York is bolng urged by its Housing Commission to relense $00,000,000 of its diuking fund for mortgage invest ment or direct construction' of houses.

He refers particularly to the work they did during the steel strike nnd justifies the course they took in breaking up assemblages. Their work was to en force the law nnd not to give It inter pretation. He stresses the fart that most of tho trouble was mused by aliens under the direction of avowed Syndicalists and makes n point of the fnct that the courts having sustained the authority of pence officers to prohibit gatherings which might lead to disorderly outbreaks, bur gesses nnd local police officials were given to understand that they would bo uphold in exercising their judgment in these matters. He makes no mention of the fact that their judgment was fre quently called into question, but says thnt the result was that there was very little disorder nnd but few rnsualtles In ii sitnntion which might cosily have developed Into n reign of terror. Governor Sproul's article, published with the consent of the Houghton -Mifflin Co., follows: TOURING the last year the Pennsyl--' vnnin tstutc police hns again shown in n time of uncnslncss Its real worth to the state nnd to the communities. Indeed, there wns n period of crisis during the early days of the steel strike when, hod wp not been prepared, any thing might have happened in the in dustrial centers in Pennsylvania. At this time conditions were rather different from any which had hereto fore urlscn here. The Atncricnn clo ment among the steel workers did not want to strike; nnd, where they wcro outnumbered, loft their work under protest, to return to it as soon ns they wcro assured of protection. Tbo nctive elements in the strike were led by avowed Syndicalists and enemies of our form of government, and the rank nnd file woro mndo up of aliens who had no knowledge of our democracy and no ro spect for our institutions. Everything seemed set for a period of violenco nnd Intimidation, nnd plans had been made for marches nnd raids upon those plants nnd those communities in which the workers had refused to strike. WITH n knowledge of these condi tions our plans were laid in ad vnnce. our forces distributed where they would be needed in cose of trouble. And when the trouble enmc they were rendy for it. In no single Instance did the promoters of disorder get the jump upon the authorities. The sheriffs of the counties nnd the local officials alike were assured that they would be backed up by the power of the state. General publicity, too, was given to the fnct that the state authorities were deter mined to preserve low and order nt all linzurd" nnd that the rights of every one would be protected. Our courts having sustained tho authority of our peace officers to prohibit gatherings or dem onstrations in trouble zones, which might lend to disorderly outbreaks, the burgesses and local police officials were given to understand thnt they would be upheld in exercising their judgment in these matters. The state police, as rep resenting the strength and dignity of the commonwealth, were ever where in evidence, quietly and luofiensively, but firmly and determinedly. The result wns thnt very little disorder nnd very few casualties in a situation which com bined nil of the elements of danger and which, allowed to develop without In terference, might have brought about n veritable reign of terror nnd destruc tion in some of the counties. In meeting this situation nnd the coal strike which followed before the steel strike had been determined, we de pended entirely upon our state police force and upon the splendid public sen timent of the people of Pennsylvania which indorsed and upheld the action of the administration. It may readily be seen that without this organized state police body representing tho common wealth hundreds of lives nnd millions of dollars' worth of property might have been destroyed, the state disgraced nnd its law-abiding people humiliated and disheartened. The necessity of calling out the reserve militia wns obviated and thus n great expense was saved. IN FACT, from a practical standpoint, I am sure that the state police in the year 1010 have saved for the people of Pennsylvania more in actual expense to the taxpnycr than the total cost of the forcd from the time it wns organized .to the present date. It is a noteworthy item in the history of this splendid or ganization that at no time since It wns inaugurated has any disturbance in the state got beyond its control. We are strengthening the force, try ing to improve its already superb morale, bettering nnd Increasing its equipment nnd providing superior facili ties for the education aud comfort of its members. We are aUo organizing a headquarters division thnt will possess a bureau of criminal records nnd infor mation, which will be of grent servico to the counties and communities of the state, Those who flout the nuthority of the commonwealth of Pennsylvania will soon understand that the state gov ernment does not forget : nnd thnt those who moke trouble here In Pennsylvania and violate our Inws will be followed, npprehended nnd brought bnck to justice in Pennsylvania, no matter where they go. There will be hereafter no nmnesty to offenders against the rights and laws of our people when disturbances nre over: nor will the mutations of local politics and the chnnges of local officials longer bcrve as n cloak to cover old offenses ngalnst our nuthority. We ex pect to make our state polico force even mora useful in the future than it has been in Its splendid post. WILLIAM O. SPROUL, uovcrnor ot Pennsylvania. Colossal Los Angeles!

"On the other hand, admirable schools exist for the teaching of both graphic nnd plastic art in all their phases, but such schools almost entirely luck university affiliations. In no ense has nn American institution of higher learning ct established a comprehensive recognition of the arts; such recognition is now proposed for the University in the plnn for n school of the fine nrts." Includes Other Departments The new school is to be located nt the southwest corner of Thirty-third and Locust streets, in the building now occupied by the architectural depart ment of tho University. It will include in its courses the departments of archi tecture nnd music, which already exist at tho University. The school will be constituted of the membere of the faculties who teach the following courses nnd subjects or in struction now presented nt the Univer sity : Architecture nnd music, nnd the tine nrts group now offered in the col lege, comprising the history nnd appre ciat'on of nrt, architecture, painting nnd sculpture, the philosophy ot nrclil lecture nnd the history and esthetics of music. The diiectors nnd curators of the University Museum will be invited to give instruction in nrchcology, ench of them to bo given nn appropriate title, and the professors of Greek nnd Roman nrchcology in tho graduate school. The school will have at its service the buildings, collections nnd instruc tional apparatus of the present de portment of nrchitecture nnd facilities of the present course in music, and In promotion of its educational work is to seek the use of the collections of the Uuiersty Museum nnd the various other galleries and museums in tho city.

Other arts in tho future nrc to be pursued professionally, each leading to an ap propriate degree. Will Admit Women It is planned to hnvc liberal courses, such ns the course in fine nrts, with slight Incidental technical content, lead ing to the degree of bachelor of fine nrts. Also included In its scope are courses in archeology, architecture, nrts, music, painting nnd sculpture. It is also the hope of the faculty that the school may bo able in the near fu ture to co-operate with other nrt schools in the city to combine their technical work with the liberal cours-e at tho University with the idea of giving them university standing and awarding degrees. The new bchool plans to admit women to its courses in recognition of the estnblished practice of the art schools and the universal tendency in higher education. Tho school plnns two genernl courses, oue for the professional nrtist, which will carry with it at the completion of tho course the degree of master of nrts, and the other a nonprofessional course with a limited amount of tcchnlcnl work, but more lurgcly devoted to the cultural side of nrt for the genernl broudening, refining taste of the gener ally cultured man nnd womnn. "We believe," said Doctor Laird, "that in establishing this school tho University will have the first school of this kind on such n comprehensive nnd liberal basis. There lire other schools of this type in the country connected with uulversltios, but they nre not ns com plete. Some have very good techni cal courses and others have liberal courses, but I don't believe nny of them hnvo so combined them.
