If the Investigation arc te be successful the Identity of the agents must be known only te these directing their work. Hut Controller Hadley has persistently refused te pay the bills for uch agents employed by Director C'ortelyeu unless the names of the men are made known te him. Director C'ortelyeu does net trust Con troller Hadley, and Controller Hadley does net trust Director C'ortelyeu. This is one of the results of factional poli ties In city government. Under the circumstances the only way out, if the purveyors of vice are te be curbed, seems te lie that proposed by the Majer. Hut it Is a way which would net be necessary if government hud net broken down lu one of its branches THE PENALTY OF POPULARITY GENERAL WOOD'S popularity In the Philippines is attested by a remarkable petition, signed by everj adult American resident In Manila, beseeching him te re main In the inland. "Ge net te Wittenberg" was no mer poignantly voiced by Queen (Jertrudc than Is tie rlea that the (ioerner tlcneral should net forsake the islands before the full fruits of his rule hate been garnered Such evidence of esteem mnnet f.nl te be flattering te Its recipient, and if (leneral Weed were net pledged te exercise his ad ad seinistratlve nblllties elsewhere liL position would be fortunate indeed. But the agreement with the University of Pennsylvania luims attention. Every testimony te the (loverner (ienernl's t:ccess In the island empire i- disturbing te thee Interests which seek te ljum.li him upon an academic career. The latest advices from Manila were le aiwuring, containing the almost explicit word that General Weed would be here te Uke up his duties as head of the University by next year. News of the round robin bodes perhaps further uncertainty There are geed friends of the University who cannot help del lur ing possible prospects of postponing an am bitious and highly urgent program tr re organizing that institution, liu.ineing it te better advantage and definitely establishing its btatus in the ceinmunitj . THE WHIMS OF FAME AMONG the deaths recorded with due reverence In the papers vesterday was that of Emlle liacnrdl. one of the nc unpl edged great of Cuba, a personage whose name was known and applauded during two decades in every quarter of the earth where bright lights are permitted te shine. He was the lutcnter of a si ec.al prsc es f0r making rum from sugar nine. Cuba will mourn for Hsxardi. Yet he devised nothing me-e than a variation of a familiar process. Here In the I ruled Slates there arc hundred- of thousands of men who manage te make forceful nitei tint- from a mixture of denatured alcohol and highb colored rhetoric. l!ut tin will hae no place in the balls of fame of this or any ether lunij. "AN ASSOCIATION" AT LAST ASSOCIATION of nations" is u term A of supposedly mellif nig sn.-riitic.ini-" This mny be one of rhe pm-eiis why Pr f. Alejandre Alvarez, of I'lule. has nduptrd it te cover a new fratemit of Governments, the framework of ulmh he has pi event, d te the Institute of International Law, new meeting in Grenoble. The new title i l.even is "World Asso ciation of Stntev." The new- plan is de. Ylsed te correct alleged defeats of the much discussed League It is designed te attract critics of the i-meinint fashioned In Paris in 1019, te avoid the most eritentmus features of that document and, above all, te bs uni versal. Sener Alvarez is nothing if net ambiueu. He has Imagined a piuef',l grouping of nil the nations of the earth, member of the Pan-Aineilcan Union, of tin' League, wlm-h he regards as peculiarb European, and of non-member nations, such as the I into States, Mexico, Itu-slu, Germany and Turkey, t The Chilean saietit believes that the Court of International .Justice ereeted bv the League inn be advnntngieusl.v utilized as arbitration machinery and that by sub stituting moral suasion for joint military or " naval pressure the pai Itn-atery hopes of ft civilization may he fiilj reullzed. A The orenosed union Is imt te be a snner- state. Nations which object te its be be bavler are privileged te retire within one year. Withdrnwul from the League I. only permitted after a lapse of two -ars from k-i me tiling or tne original preresi mere is te tie an assenimy ami a teiiiuil with powers somewhat similar te these of the bodies bearing identical titles in the League. Umiuestlenably the League ergani- l! satlen lias been lieiplul te bener Alvarez. He hag copied what he considers excel lent and rejected or tevlseil these elements deemed adverse te the succesM of the elder Mtciety. He has even prepared uti article te elTset the sling of Article' X The new prevision leads that "the mem- liipa nf ilin llvviieLlttiln vli'lll lilnil rlittni- , v mWcs te respect the terrlteri tl Integutj and apolitical Indepcndeiue of all members of the a nuuuMiitlnn" iiinl that "in imimi nf i itliiriitn ,Ai,thU fundumentnl obligation" the council AVVoJPW.Vrcceumcnu 10 tne inriuucrs the ineiis. v MilK thinks proper."

In case of such nggrcsslen, or In case of any threat or danger of such aggression, the council shall advise upon the means by which this obligation shall be fulfilled." Opponents of the League ought te be able te tletect for themselves the differences be tween these two previsions. The very sub tlety of distinctions should prove insplra insplra tlennl. If there Is n real cnll for an nsto nste nsto elatien of nations would it net be well te heed Sener Alvarez, the erudite and opti mistic Chilean, fully aware, as he Is, of the worth of circumspection of lnngunge and of fine-drawn, carefully modulated principles? MAKING IT EASY FOR HARDING TO VETO THE BONUS BILL He Cannet Very Well Approve the Senate Plan te Make Payments Out of the Interest Due en Foreign Leans QJENATE supporters of the bonus are playing into the hands of the President. Mr. Harding 1 reluctant te approve a measure which will Incrcnsc the burden of taxation. Yet he Indicated several months age that he would net approve the Honus Hill unless adequate prevision were made for raising the money. New the Senate has adopted an amend ment te the bill providing that the cash pay ments shall be made out of the proceeds of the Interest en the war leans te foreign Governments, This should mnke It easy for the Presi dent te justify a veto 0f the measure, lie can. If he cheeses, still insist that he favors the payment of a bonus if a way can be found te raise the money, while he disap prove? the way proposed by the Senate. It Is difficult te see hew he can approve that way. In the first place, it Is likely te cause International complications. England has premised te begin the payment of In terest In the near future, but she has net yet paid a dollar. France Is In no financial condition te begin payments nnd Is net likely te be for a long time te come. Secre tary Hughes cannot very well make a peremptory demand en either l-'rance or EnglaryJ for the money due. Hut If the Interest is net paid the men who would be expecting a bonus would begin te demand that pressure he exerted. If pressure were used It would lause international friction at a time when the effort' of every states, man should be devoted te reducing friction and bringing about a state of International lemltv . Europe Is In pressing need of financial assistance from America in order te escape bankruptcy. It would be the height of un un wiseom for America te embarrass the Euro pean states by any sort of an imperative demand that they pay their debts te u. This alone would be sufficient reason for a veto by the president of any bill, the ex ecution of which would be impossible with out pressing our European debtors for payment. Hut there Is still another reason for dis approving of the plan te make bonus pay ments out of the lntere-t en the war leans te Europe. The money lent te Europe was borrowed from the Amerb an people and the American Government issued bends te secure Its pa.vtnent te the American people. The Treasury Department U new pa.vlng the interest en these bends nnd It will have te continue te pay it until they are re deem.! d. Every dollar of intere-t paid by tie European Governments ought te be credited te the interest account due te the Ameru an imndhe'ders. it is astounding that full -grown men can pretend that they are finding 11 way te provide money for the bonus by diverting te the bonus fund money which is really earmarked for the pavment of ether obliga tions, a three-year-old child migl.t d it. but a fifteen- ear-old boy would know knew better. Any business man who should eenduct his own affairs in Midi a way would be bank rupt within a year. The President is expected te insist that Congress face the tiniincial side of bonus legl-latien fairly nnd t(iiate! and that it nmke definite and direct prevision for th" needed revenues. And he is expicted te veto every bonus measure whtdi dodges the financial e)uct!en. Senater Heed's position was s0utid when he te'd hi- 'eliengues seen after taking his seat that at this time, when the (euntrv was burdened with taxation, lie was opposed te lncrea--iig that burden in order te pay an sum te the me", who had fought for their . euntrv. It Is net i.eces.np for the Prci dent te go se far as this. All that he will have te de 1 te object te the wuv that the Senate piope-es te rai-e the menev It will tlnn be verv doubtful if the neci ary ma ma ever jerlty can be f.n..id te pass the his ir'u Mil HIGH TIMES FOR "HI" IN f'ALlFOH.MA. " 'Is 'cart was true te Pell" is no casml dittv There seems te be no question that Hiram Jehnsen has Miirid a decisive victory ever his opponent In the Hepublican primary campaign for the senatorial nomination.

I'l.ief Davis, of the Philadelphia Eire Bureau, hud many plcusant things 'te say U.e men in nls uepariuieni uiicr uia re turn from a trip of Inspection about the country. Antl all the things he said were well deserved. The fire department has n sort of morale which, sccriilngly Inspired by the ycry nature of Its duties, always has been proof ngelnst the dirtiest sort of politi cal meddling. Hut It is like nil ether fire departments In the United States. It Is or ganized te fight fires rather than te prevent them. It Is animated by a theory as old fashioned as that which animates the doc tors. In the future, unless civilization move backward, there will be fewer antl fewer great fires, Fewer men will lese their lives In unequal battles with runnwny flames. Fire departments will he se organized that they may show the way te fire prevention nnd break up the growing systenis of de liberate Incendiarism. They will he edu cational Influences in each community. And they will help te compel the passage of laws under which n man who has had n fire en his premises will hnvc te answer In court. If net for criminal intent, then for criminal negligence. That Is the purpose of cedes which always have operated lit European coun tries, where the annual fire losses are net a hundredth part se great ns they arc In this country.

PLYMOUTH PILGRIMS Americans Are Fair Meat fop Rail road Publicity Men, But the 'Teurlat Literature" It 8adly In Need of Revision Dy GEORGE NOX McCAIN XTA'MOUTH, ENGLAND. THIS Is Plymouth of the Pilgrims. Enterprising tourist agents call It the "Mayflower Country." It's n "travel shrine" In the flamboyant verbiage of the railway publicity man ever here. All this, you should understand, Is for the benefit of the Americans; Yankees, ns they are familiarlly known te our English cousins. The railways and tourist folk make a let out of this "Pilgrim" business. In thnt tire-eminently Hrltl'h vnde mecum. the Lticyclepcdln Hrltannicn. how ever. Just one inch nnd n half of space Is devoted te "Pilgrim fathers." "American Pilgrims" Is what the "pll grlmngers" from nil parts of Yankee land are called in the advertising literature. It catches the newcomer te England every time. He tilts his lint a trifle mere and throws out his chest. IT'S sort of complimentary, you knew! That's why ! "It's hands ncress the sen" stuff. It lasts, if he Is an observant "Pilgrim," till he stands in front of the imposing Albert .Memerial In Londen. Surrounding its base are the great nnmes of all nations of all times except these of America. The Yankee tourist can lese an eye before he will discover the nnmc of n Franklin, or a llebert Fulton, or any ether American en that list. German names, among the foreigners, pre dominate in this muster roll of the mighty In science, art nnd literature. The German strain In the English royal bleed accounted for this Teutonic preponder ance. Hesldes, Abraham Lincoln's nnme hadn't yet riven te Its magnificent height, and Themas Edisen wns still n "candy butcher" en a Western railroad train. That Is. when the Albert Memerial, te commemorate the virtues of that ndinirnble gentleman, the lnte Queen Victeria's hus band, wns projected and erected. Te relieve the embarrassment which every intelligent Englishman new feels, I would suggest thnt one of the numerous German nnmes by erased und that of Pershing or Sims he substituted. Or even Woedrovv Wilsen, net te display any partisanship. AS TO Plymouth'. It was out en its blue sound thnt the Mayflower and Speedwell lay that September morning "0'J ears age. The ether Pilgrim ships were net visible at the moment. I menu the three or four large vesscta that carried the antique clocks, chests, spindle chairs and ether curies that li.Tve. in the Intervening three centuries, been distributed as Mayflower relics. With the foresight of his time, Governer Hradferd anticipated the demand for furni ture, etc., that "came ever In the May flower. " Old prints that I have seen here In Ply mouth show enlv the Mav (lower and the Speedwell nt anchor in UK(), It was the mistake of the photographer of the expedition, THAT reference te the photographer of the Mayflower expedition recalls n story of the Spanish Main. It wns originally laid nt Pert of Spain, Trinidad. A Yankee "pilgrim" te the island of the asphalt kike wandered Inte a musty little curie shop en Almend Walk. The aged proprietor in vain displayed his assortment of swordfish swords, desiccated starfish, coral, weed carvings and multi colored shells. Nothing suited the Yankee. Finally, In the Fcml-darkness of the shop's rear, the old fellow produced a rusty old revolver with due solemnity. "Here, my geed friend, Iss vet you leek for. Dls ees de very revolver dat Chris topher Colombe carry ven he discovered America. It's very rare! Very rare!" "Wha's that? Columbus' ' revolver?" yelled the Yank. "Say whaiehn tr.vln' te put ever? Den'cha knew revolvers wasn't invented when Columbus discovered America?" he thun dered. "Sure! Sure!" was the swift reply, "I knew dat ! Dat's vet makes it se rare." THEHE'S a world of romance associated with this fine, pictuiesque harbor of Plymouth. Plymouth really consists of three towns, Plymouth, Stonehouse and Devenport : like Camden, Philadelphia und West Philadel phia. Sir Frances Drake was bowling en the high promenade when news came te him that the Spanish Armtidn was lu sight. Sir Walter Haleigh, that prince of ad venturers, sailed out te the West from Ply mouth Sound en an adventure thut rends like 11 fairy tale. It was his quest for the fabled El Derade. EL DOIIADO, the City of Geld. Or. wns it El Derade, the Caribbean ruler in the heart of the Seuth American forests, whom white man had never seen as some contend? Who. every morning, was anointed with oil nnd then sprinkled with sifted geld dust? Sir Walter never found the answer. Ne man vet has. Twenty-live .venrv age I walked the single narrow street of Snleelad. 3."0 miles up the Orinoco Hiver in Seuth America. Sir Walter once knew that street; walked it. Ter sir weeks his little fleet halted there te refit. He never get any farther Inte the un known wilderness. Fate was against the gnllntjt gentleman; also fact. He went back; down with the current of the mighty river. Down with the tide and back te England, te meet nn undeseived death en the heads man's block. The Mayflower, shallep, enrrjlrig the fate of a new world in its held, also sailed from Plymouth. It's a wonderful stretch of blue water, this sound. Se FA1E ns its railway publicitj. matter for the benefit of American visitors gees, this end of England Is still doing business back In early war time.

This retroactive information has made a great hit with some discriminating Ameri cans who aie able te read In words of three syllables. Henlly this Isn t a joke. Frem a beautiful bound circular of a cer tain rallwa.v that Is being widely distributed among "American pilgrims te travel shrines" I take the following about the city of inv sojourn, PI meuth: "It was from Pl. mouth that Walter Haleigh set out en his expedition of lilU-fi, and his fatal adventure of 111!".

BARTLETT On Training Ministers te Meet the New Secial Problems THE solution of the social nnd economic unrest of today lies very largely In the proper selection nnd training of the minis ters of the Christian Church, according te the Rev. Dr. Geerge G. Hnrtlett, denn of the Divinity Scheel of the Protestant Episcopal Church in Philadelphia. "There is a great deal of talk these days, said Dr. Hartlett. "about the breakdown of civilization nnd the approaching ruin of these nations which hnvc plnyed the chief parts in histerv in recent centuries. Curiously enough. Ibis gloomy nnd forbidding cry has been heard generation after generation, nntl often the men who hnve uttered It have been conspicuous among their contemporaries for exceptional knowledge nnd thnughtfulness "Se one, however, be he ever se optimis tic, can fall te realise that we arc living today in n difficult, even n crucial period. The old familiar ways, the conventional manners and morals, the accustomed prin ciples thnt have governed conduct nnd busi ness, seem te have lest their adequacy. Ana whnt is te take their place? The Real Danger "The danger of the situntien does net. In mv opinion, lie in the fact thnt we are in a" transitive peried: rapid change may menn rnpid progress. The peculiar danger In thnt we mny net find the constructive leadership we need : n leadership that can meet tednv's perplexities nnd thnt can re state in bread, convincing teims the prin ciples that make for sound progress and for decent, joveus, prosperous lnimnn life en '''"Hevend a doubt, this need of leadership is immensely pressing In nil our political nnd Industrial life. I don't deny or jinder vnlue this, yet I am convinced thnt back of these spheres of human effort lies n Mill deeper sphere and that our convictions within this sphere, unconsciously te us nil. con trol nnd guide our mere ordinary actions. It Is what we men nctunlly believe ns te right and wrong, as te the relations of men te men, ns te the real meaning nnd ptirpme of this life of man en earth that real y determines all our conduct ; whnt we actually believe In our inmost henrts. net whnt we profess in conventional teims with pur lips. And te snv this Is te sav nothing but thnt religion is the most intimnte bu'juess of hn rnnnlrv, the ultlmnte contielllng power ever nil our nffnlrH. "It Is for this reapen thnt T nm concerned most of all tednv nbeut just one thing, which mav seem, nt first thought, remote and im practicable. And that one thing Is the character and'trninina of men for the minis trv of the Christian Church. Seme one per haps will say. 'Why such concern ever min uter whv net ever the tank nnd file of members'' The nnswer surely Is plain If we think n moment. Whatever progress we make Is mnde by Individuals first and be mines common prepertv through our capne itv for assimilating ideas, for learning from ethers III a word, we depend absolutely !e,r leaders. And the Church like the State, is confused nnd helpless without such leadership. Providing for the Future "We the solution te nil the misery nnd nerplexltv of our dny lies ultimately In the bands of these who think deeply, persist -e Iv. truthfully, and all the time en the unde'rlvlng moral principles of human 1 fe and humnn relationships. And here n lie at once the appeal nnd the responsibility of the ministry ns a life work. Te win the noblest and finest of our jeung men te this minlstrv, te train them se thnt the fullness of their power and insight tuny be free and strong nnd skillful for guidance and leader leader Hhlnte de this adequately is te de the biggest thing that can be done today for the world's future. . ... , , , "And. In order te de this, In my judg ment, three things must be emphnsl7ed In Ibnse schools whose business It is te win nnd trnin young men for the Church s ministry, "First, mere than ever, there must be In tense and unresting wrestling after truth the truth that saves. The technical re sources of modern scholarship have Increased in the last two generations quite ns amaz ingly as have the technical resources of ether professions. These must be further de veloped nnd brought te bear upon their one grent objective, of making clear and forcible that living truth which saves and sets men free.
