It is feared that the spring catch this year will fall even ;" fcelew that of 1021, which with n total of 40,000 fish was considered nbnermully amall. I "The -problem is complicated by the great Increase in oil-burning vessels, a legitimate I development nnd yet a plague te piscnterinl " progress. The Government, which has been besought te apply remedies, cannot, of f course, impose a ban upon 'the most modern type of steamships. What abeuld be en forced, however, are the utmost precautions gninst carelessness. A characteristic instance is the spilling f;n thousand barrels of oil from a Mexican tanker recently unloading near Chester. Blame is laid upon a leaky pipe. Dere lictions of this kind arc Indefensible, and the Indignation of fishing interests ever such ft- flagrant menace te a famous and valuable toei supply is fully justified. DEMAGOGY ASCENDANT PREMIEn POINCARE'S pastlenate de "mand for strict enforcement of the Treaty of Versailles differs from the pro gram of his predecessor chiefly In florid ex ternals. Save for the punishment of war criminals, vrfiich has lagged, wherein have the previsions of the much-discussed treaty been' discounted? The indemnity problem, which chiefly exes the new Minister, is specifically as signed te the Reparations Committee. If that body has been baffled by the immensity of its task, that is the fault of circum stances rather than of perversion of the tilt 'of the treaty. Stripped of characteristic gestures, M, Pelncare's prejram does net appear te differ greatly from that of his harassed predeces sor. The Prime Minister expresses the 'convtetien tbnt a Frauce-Britlsh defensive agreement will be concluded. Yet it was thstvcry preposition te which the downfall of M. Drland was attributed. The flamboyance of M. Poincare in his ijew' role suggests a condition net unknown in countries beyond the French frontiers reliance upon demagogic ornamentation te eeve 'observance of policies fictitiously re ujJiaUd.

KEEP THE BONUS OUT OF INTERNATIONAL POLITICS It Would Be a Tactical Errer te Tie It Up With the Refunding of the Foreign Leans TF A corporation lmd lent $0,000,000,000 Xvte another corporation In nn acute emer gency nnd had received merely n letter acknowledging the indebtedness, the first corporation would tnke advantage of the earliest opportunity te have the borrower give uetcs or issue bends te secure the debt. The United States is In the position of the lending corporation at the present time. It advanced te half n dozen European coun tries $0,000,000,000 or thcrenbeuts with which te prosecute the war. It has nothing te show for the lean but the acknowledgment of tile Indebtedness plgucd by the proper officials of the different countries. Grent Britain Is the only country which hns paid nny interest, and It hns net paid the whele nmeunt due. The ether countries are In no financial position te meet the Interest, and they de net knew when they will be. Secretary Mellen nsked Congress In the spring for authority te mnkn nrrnngements with the debtor nations for funding the leans en such terms as seemed most ndvnn ndvnn tngeeus te nl) concerned. lie wished te change the non-negotiable I. O. I'.'s of the foreign Governments Inte Interest -bearing bends, which could be held in the Treasury as assets or sold in the open market te rnUe money with which te pny the bends that hnd been Issued te borrow the money from the Amcrlcnn people which hnd been lent te Europe. Since then Congress has been amending nnd rrnmendlns: tne ericinal bill until It is In such shape that these who wish te prevent u grave international misunder standing are beginning te think that it would be better te de nothing than te pass the measure In Us present shape. It Is net n mere nmtter of internatlqnnl finHiicc that is involved. Friendly relations between the United States and Europe nre nt stake. We ennnet nfferd, however the oretically justifinble it may s-cem, te direct the Secretory of the Treasury te mnke any demands en Europe for the money due us thnt Europe cannot meet. Our own pros perity is dependent en the industrial re covery of Europe. The nations there are struggling under a burden of taxation te meet the absolutely neccssnry expenses of government. The part of wisdom for the United States is te pursue such n policy ns will conserve the, resources of Its European debtors, in the hope that they may ultimately be in a condition te pny what they ewe. Wc can not, safely te ourselves, press our clnims at this time. If nil this is true, then the attempt new making In Congress te tie up the soldier bonus payments with the foreign debt-refunding scheme seems net completely wise. As een as it was arranged te pay the bonuses from the Interest or principal of the leans, the soldiers would be likely te demand that sleps be taken te collect what was due regardless of the consequences, anil we should have- trouble en our hands nt once. The settlement of the debt should be kept ns far aB possible from the domain of Ameri can politics, se that the broader Interna tional considerations may have their due weight. This is uslde from the merits of the bonus preposition. That matter should be met Independently and should net be tied up with international politics. If Congress decides te pay the bonus it should find the money here at home, where it la, rather than apportioning te the soldiers a pert of a foreign debt the payment of which is uncertain. FOOLS AND THEIR MONEY AMERICANS like te smile when thev re member Barnum's. assertion thnt the people of this country nre never hnppier than when they are being humbugged. It is pleasant te believe that Barniim ' was talking of an earlier generation which ruled in the age of our national innocence But the king of showmen might truthfully re peat his aphorism today". He might give it even greater emphasis. He might sav thtft Americans actually yearn te be swln' d'ed. The rujes of safe investment nre, or ought te be, well understood by every one who rends the newspapers. Any " one with ready money may go te any reputable bank or any one of a hundred brokers nnd Invest his capital in safe securities which return fair and even liberal dividends Yet countless millions are taken annually from the pockets of the relatively peer and transferred te the pockets of crooked pro moters becauF.e of the stubborn belief of the unsophisticated that easy money is te be picked tip under the unsuspecting eyes of the Wall street wizards. Careless' Investors themselves are largely te blnme for losses which they endure through the collapse of such concerns as have been blowing up recently in this city. But the time has come wlm the stock ox ex changes or their members will have te find a way te frustrate the conscienceless pro moters whose mero recent exploits have, been of a sort te frighten the small nnd inex perienced investor out of useful and legiti mate fields. OPERATIC ERUPTIONS SINCE the tumultuous days of Oscar Hnmmersteln I'liiladelphlnns have come te rcsard uphenva'.s in grand opera in a spirit of somewhat unemotional detachment. This Isolation is almost exclusively philo sophical, f-incc artistic Interest In lyric drnma remains keen here and patronage of the form Is generous. The conviction, however, has grown and altogether it is n healthy sign that bomchew the skies de net fall, the seas overflow nor tht continents shake when songbirds get out of managerial control nnd operatic organizations are rent with petty spites or colossal vanities. Fer all Its financial complexities and the agonies of its administration, opera is apparently Inex tinguishable, and even its most advertised and excessively adulated stnr Interpreters are seldom nbselutely irreplaceable. And se, with all due respect for the ron ren ron Rplcueus positions wen by Tener Muratore, of the Chicago company, nnd Seprano Far rur, of the Metropolitan troupe, It it hardly conceivable that cither of these organization will be lrreparnbly wrecked by announced exits of these performers. Of deeper human Interest is the ttate of mind of the respective captains general, whose responsibilities In opera companies are almost as trying as these of a Prjldent ' ' ' - - r. "jftM f . i v jt-m - ' ' I t . . of i the united 'States plagiml lay a refi;ae lery and unreasonable Congress. Impresarla Mary (farden officially con siders M. Muratere "badly counseled." "Capricious I" retorts the sensitive .tenor, reported vexed ever alleged violation ei an autocratic contract authorizing blra te dic tate the choice of understudies in bis fa vorite roles. Outwardly nt least, "Mr. Oattl" remains the Imperturbable Buddha who has en the whole succeeded, far beyond his predeces sors' dreams, In suppressing bear-garden features at the Metropolitan. Miss Farrar, It is hinted, Is net unaffectedly delighted ever the recent triumphs of a magnetic new comer from Vienna, Marie Jcrltza. The latter has just been re-engaged for four mero seasons, the event synchronizing with. Miss Fnrrar's refusal te renew her own contract. ' Rumer respecting this situation Is tastier than the known facts. It would be extravagant te declare that Philadclphians nre net Interested in nil these operatic turmeils. The emotional, spon taneity of opera folk is psychologically fnsclnatlug. But experience sometimes is sobering and instructive. ' This city within the last few months hns liberally patronized both the San Carle troupe, in which comparatively few of Its prlncipnls were well known, nnd the Met ropolitan organization, with Us roster of standard names. Miss Garden s Vcsuvlnn exhibit will nppcar with the spring nnd, with or without the offended Muratere, n stimulation of musicnl taste is in prospect. The picturesque Mr. Hnmmersteln doubt less intended otherwise, hut It Is Increas ingly npparcnt that his dramatic campaign here cultivated by its nhcer Intensity the local sense of artistic proportions. NUGENT COMES BACK WE HAD occasion te remnrk in these columns yesterday thnt it is nhnest impossible for nny one outside the inner circles of the "wets" or the "drys" te knew the truth nbeut the situation crcntcd by rigid prohibition laws iu the United States- Unexpected news te indicate the grim truth of this nssertien comes new from New Jersey. The Jersey Legislature, outwardly nt least, is "dry" by a lnrge mnjerity. There nre twonty-eno members In the Sennte. Sixteen of them nre supposed te be bone dry. They have been vetins "dry," nt lenst. Hew deep under the surfnee de their convictions go? The people of the State have geed reasons for usklng themselves that question new nnd for fearing that the Sennte nt Trenten is net the lenst puzzling of the innumerable miner mysteries that are being created within the larger mystery of n "wet" country with a "dry" 'Consti 'Censti 'Consti tiennl Amendment. Jim Nugent, once the Big Bess of the State, is slowly working his wny back te the position of authority from which he was violently dislodged by Woodrew Wilsen. He has been mimed by Governer Edwards for the office of County Prosecutor in Essex. That office is one of great pelltlenl Importance. With it go grcnt nutherity and prestige. ' Nugent Is a "wet" a bittcr;endr among "wets." He is nn outspoken op ponent of Velsteadism nnd a violent hater of the Van Ness law. . Ills nppelntment ns prosecutor in Essex would mean the nulli fication of all the expensive enforcement rules set up by the State nnd even hindrance of the work of Federal enforcement officers. Next Monday tlie Jersey Sennte will be usked te confirm his appointment. Whnt will it de? It will cheerfully ratify the nppelntment. say all the political lenders of the State. "Wets" nnd "drys" nlike ndmit thnt there will be no renl opposition te Nugent in Jersey's "dry" Legislntifre. Even the Anti-Saleen League Is of that opinion.. New, what de you make of that? SERVANTS IN THE HOUSE SOME years ose a group of college girls, cngcr te apply scientific rules for the solution of what is admittedly the most complicated of all economic problems, founded an organization te provide intelli gent and dependable domestic service In homes where servants nre needed. They began with nn nbscrtien of their intention te recognize the maid or the cook as-a being endowed with the ordinary human virtues and weaknesses, with normal sus ceptibilities nfid with the inevitable, if troublesome, senses of pride, nmbitien, hope and deBlrc. They assumed thnt housekeep ers who npplicd te their bureau for what is ordinarily known ns "help" would be ns liberal as they nnd ns modern-minded. Se their workers were net te be known ns servants. They were, if memory serves, te be designated as ''household assistants' and It was provided in the bend thnt caili should work eight or ten hours and enjoy nt the end of the shift the rights nnd liberties nccerded ns n mntter of course te workers in nny organized Industry. If this plan Is still eperntjng it is operat ing modestly within a narrow radius. We hnve heard nothing of it for a yenr or mere. Presumably it didn't fit the need for which It was devised. Whether housekeepers re fused te be modern or whether the house hold assistants became tee modern for the times It is hard te say. Ne discussion of the joint problem of do mestic servants and their employers such ns is in progress en another page can get any where unless It begins with the admission that the average American home is still the stronghold of nn almost feudal practice of employment, even while it is the inspira tion of almost every movement devised te ameliorate the conditions of employment elsewhere. Hemekeepere ardently help movements which bring about factory laws, nnd laws te guard children In industry nnd laws which rpeclally eafeguard the welfare of women In organized industry. But the home itself seldom permits the intrusion of luber reformers nnd it rigorously gunrds itse'.f ngainst nny one who ventures te sug gest that Its. ancient and unchanging rou tine should be disturbed In the interest of the&e who de the hnrd work by which It is made pleasant Hnd inviting. There is no "servant class" in America. Progressive ideas of liberty nre in every girl's head. And every girl In her secret heart cherishes hopes and wishes very much like these that nnlmntc her mistress. The Implication of inferiority present in the manner of many employers of "hired girls" does us much ns anything else te create what la known es the servant problem. Girls turn away from the protection nnd shelter nnd comfort which domestic service would bring them for the harder employ ment of fncteries net only because of shorter hours. Tbey de net want te be talked down te, especially by women. That is the prob lem. Let the pundits de what they can with It. The aim of the National Bite Off Nese Weman's Party te "re- Te Splte Face move nil pelltlenl, civil nnd legal dlsnbllitlpa" affecting women and te glve them nbbelutu equulity befere the law is perhaps designed te prove the ngc-eld fact that women nre less kind te women than men nre, for such action will Inevitably niPan the ulping out of nil privileges accorded te wemeji who work for n living.

And I told n story of some flentlng gossip by wny of illustrating hew credulous lgnor lgner nncc can be nnd hew easily misguided. And I went en te sny that some of the Negro papers made rather tee much a specialty of lynchingB. New I did net sny nny of these things Idly or without what seemed te me n geed bncktng of experience. But neither did I sny them from the viewpoint of a white woman looking down t the black race. I KNOW the Negro race of the Seuth of today ns net many Southern men nnd women can knew it, because wherever there was a school for colored boys or girls from Hampton te BIrmlnglinm nnd through the Gcergin and Alubnmu Black Belt, I've been pretty much. I knew Beeker Washington nnd Majer Moten, nnd I've stayed at Tus kegec and lived nt Hampton In my veuth. I realize thnt whatever else the United States ewes, it. ewes Its colored citizens nnd their children an education. And it Is my conviction, based en u geed deal of obser vation, thnt thnt vducntien must be given either by private gifts or by Federal gifts In the Seuth, for the States cannot shoulder the burden of black und white illiteracy. And the whole point of my story In the column the ether evening wns thnt Ignorance wns nbeut the ensiest ground for dnngcreus' prepugnnda thnt could be found, nnd that the feeling of hate or, nt best, injured feci 'ass would be snfest met by a propaganda of faith nnd understanding based en real facts nnd possible remedies. I hnve received two very interesting let ters en the subject from renders of the col umn, nnd I print them here se much of them ns Is applicable te the subject under conslderntien becnuse of the dignity nnd yet frankness of their point of view. I am doubtless at liberty te use their sig natures, but becnuse I nni net printing the letters in full-' I shall net nvnll myself of thnt privilege.

Then she takes n fling at the peer colored editors.

"0.000,000 and $00. 000,000. This was for compensation, medi cal services and expenses. A vensenuble es- tiniate would be that $1.",000,000 of this sum enme from Philadelphia. A Practical Illustration "A practical illustrntten is ehewn by the record of euc of the large Industrial plants of the city, which employs mere than 2000 men nt rather hazardous work. In ten months there wns net a single cempensable accident in thnt plant. Scratches, which often become cases of bleed poisoning, were immediately treated, and consequently never developed into anything serious. In an en tire year there was only one cempensable accident, and that might have been avoided if the injured inniuhad net get out of reach of the medlcnl nttendants. With such n record in one plant, where there nre fine medical facilities, the possibilities for ether plants arc obvious. "The saving Is two-fold. It snves the employer the tempernry disorganization of a section of his plant through the Injury of nny of the regular workers, ns well ns In compensation, nnd it saves the worker the physlcnl suffering ns well ns the less of his earning nnd the dnriger thnt his earning capacity may be permanently Impaired. "As u picture en the ether side, there is nnethcr establishment in this city where the less in n single yenr through accidents nnd sickness wns 5000 days. Three years later this same establishment showed a less of 1000 days, as it hnd in the meantime installed thoroughly competent medical su pervision. Available te All "Our committee is Inclined te believe that a frauk consideration of this problem by em ployers, representatives of the empleyes, hospitals, the medical profession and ethers Interested, would result in the working out of extensions or modifications of the present medical systems, which would make fhe facilities needed te bring nbeut these much desired ends available te every empieyer and empleye in the city. "There seem te be four fundamental re quirements; first, n central organization in each appropriate dlbtrict of the city, which will be able te aid employers in developing properly trained, first-aid workers in tscn plants or work places, for It applies equally te tuck businesses as contracting or con struction, as well ns te Industrial plants. "Second, consistent und well-directed treatment of berieus cases, with the view net only of curing, but of getting the Injured person back te work ns soeu ns possible, nnd wth unimpaired capacity, "Third, a careful diagnosis and treatment of cases of sickness originating In Werk 1 A,..;f,,a.k.-i- . ,,;,- JJ,..,. , . 2iWbjKms:'Mi :-'?.; .. - 'A?.- S ' ' places nnd a study of both the hygienic and vocational conditions which nffect hcnlth. fourth, a study of the actual operating conditions In Industry with the view of de termining the health conditions necessary in workmen te permit them te de their work without injury te themselves. Many Are Interested ''The Engineers' Club of this city, the I hlladelphla section of the Safety Engineers, the Association of Insurnncc Adjuster's, various bodies of the medical profession nnd ether orgnnlzntlens hnve joined In giving tills subject serious consideration. The Chamber of Commerce hns taken up and deems the matter worthy of the most serious consideration nnd Kttnlv mui ii.. nii.,i te gether representatives of the hospitals te' am in developing improvements which seem te them te be practicable. .L 'I?'

Accident prevention Is well taken care of In the City of Philadelphia, which, as I pointed out before, is among the leaders of he Natien. The care of the sick nnd the injured Is new the great problem.
