A much more impressive appearing fleet has anchored in New York har- bor than that of the 56 mine sweep- ers just home from European waters, but few if any have been engaged in any more dangerous tasks, and it was fitting that they should receive the warm welcome home that they did. These little vessgls with their 1500 officers and men under Rear Admiral Strauss have been engaged in remov- ing the mine field that was placed .n the North sea for the purpose of checking the activities of the German underwater boats. There was much danger involved in the laying of this mine field, but in view of the greater uncertainty con- nected with the locating of the mines end the traversing of the locality where the death dealing contrivances were known to be present it is impos- eible to disregard the danger with which those mine sweepers were sur- rounded. Thefe were many ways in which a slight slip or the lack of watcnfulness would have sent the ship to the bottom. But through it all these valiant crews came and even though they did not confront the guns of the enemy and even though their participation wag in dealing % fatal blow to he enemy thelr record of service can- a0t be disregarded. They faithtuily performed their duty and it was by 20 means a desirable one. It required s much courage, though it may not have provided as much excitement, as the hunting of the submarines and whatever honors were bestowed upon them were fully deserved. And be- cause of the fact that their work was done following the armistice and not subject to the shells of the enemy it Is gratifying to know that their ser- viee was given the recognition it de- served their return home. They tendered highly hazardous service un- Ser most commendablo and skillful tuidance. not MR, M'ADOO’'S SOLUTION. The sentiment of the country is dound to against the continuance of any fce. It will be equally Istent that the miners of soft coal be inf should not be made to suffer any nore than the consumers should but will not sanction the imposition of r d costs upon the public just a Iot of unwarranted de- ny particular class, and teaches that the public later feels the advance in erience sooner or sXxpenses. In this connection the telegram of Willlam G. McAdaco 1o the fuel admin- Istration decicedly erestng. There ave been ¥ cceasions when it was felt that the coal barons wero pinch- inz the consumer and this existed in recent as well as more remote years. [t is therafore bound to attract wide- spread attention when Mr. McAdoo de- ctlared that the operators, while he was sec ry of the treasury, wera making anywhere from 15 to 2000 per sent., and that tley should be made 0 stand the increase to which the miners are entitled. Now tlat is an rasy solution and the wonder is that McAdoc didn't advanee it before prevent all the trcuble. But Mr. McAdco doesn't tell how M. na operators made 2660 per cent. or Sow many made 15 per cent. and he Hoesn't tell why as a member of the government forces he permitted the takinr of such profits when it was known it was being taken right out of the pocketg of the people when they secded the money for other uses. He was satisfled to let ttem :make as nuch as they decired in order to have he government collect the tax there- i, and it is to be noted now that he foesn't advocate the reduction in the orice of coal to the consumer one iota m order to cut down the percentages »f profit but urges that it be paid out © one class that has been defying the sountry and still is turning a celd thoulder to the nation's need for fuel. According to Mr. McAdoo he would permit the gouging to go on but have the operators divide it with the min-. s and still keep the consumer fur- vishing the dough. The former secre- ary has not attempted to explain the wperators’ profits, however, and it je srobable that would throw an entirely lifferent light on the matter, PROTECTING SERVICE MEN. Whether the campaign that the war risk insurance bureau has opened, for the purpose of informing the soldiers ind sailors who served in the late war vhat their rights and privileges are oncerning the continuance of their nsurance whch has been allowed to .apse, will amount to anything de- pends upon how much interest can be created among those directly con- cerned and their families, Without a doubt there are thous- ands who have allowed their insur- ance to lapse and will not take it up again. They dropped it intentionally and nothing can induce them to re- sume it. That doesn't mean that it s not desirable but they are not suf- ficlently interested in such things at this time te realize its importance. Some of course don't need it now that the war hasard Is over and some can not afford to carry i on top of what they already have. But there are great. numbers of them who have given Iittle or no \haneht to what they are doing in dis- them see it through its educational campaign. It may seem . that inas- those who through disgust or lack of ulderstanding are depriving them- ought to have. One point that should not be over- looked is' that it is mot too iate for|with my society,” I remarked, liugh- any who dropped their insurance to|l ave it restored if they act within 13 months from their discharge, and if|° any believe that because they drop- ped their insurance it cannot be re- gained it is but just that they should be informed te the contrary. The campaign is for the purpose of pro- tecting fully the service men. POGROMS. Pogroms are by no means unknown in eastern Europe. They have called forth repeated protests and denuncia- tions, not solely from relatives and racial friends but from the whole civ- ilized world, where the injustice and horrors of such condu¢t are fully un- derstood. It was not so long age that:the Jews of this country were protesting against pogroms in Poland and now they are taking a similar stand against the frightful treatment which Jews are receiving in the Uk- raime. Pogroms of that kind are by no means.new to Russia. The whole- sale slaughtering of Jews has been pe- riodically resorted to there but it is|¢ unfortunate that under what dre ex- pected to be better conditions there should be evidénce of its continuance. How much good the protests will do is problematical. Nevertheless it is well that such action ig taken when- ever there are possessed the facts to back up the charges and when it is insisted that 130,000 Jews have been killed and 400 cities and towns wiped out it can be appreciated that terrori- zation of the Jews is occupying the attention of people in Russia who should be devoting their efforts to de- cidedly different things. But it is time that such protests should not be confined solely to the!

LIKE A U-BOAT COMMANDER. It is difficult at times to understand the conduct of ‘captains of ships at sea but just what explanation the commanding officer of the lake steam- er McIntosh can give for his refusal to rescue the captain of a ship which had been lost and who was clinging to the pilot house top for 20 hours, is! beyond comprehension. It wasn't known of course how long he had been in that position and it wasn't known that he was the captain of the ill fat- ed Myren, but it was not his rank or any other feature that should have Leen required by the passing vessel when it came to rendering help. The fact that there was a human being| adrift on some wreckage at this time |J of the year should have been suffi- cient to have caused any ships to have stopped and seen that _he was rescued. The refusal to pick him up ought to carry some punishment. The fact that it was promised to send-a tug doesn't take the edge off of the act for it amounted to nething and but for the fact that another steamer appear- ed as it did, and effected the rescue, though it would indicate by the re- port that the shipwrecked captain was unable to make any appeal, it is prob- able that Captain Neal would hgve succumbed from exposure. Saying that a tug would be sent under those con- ditions was like kicking a dying man. He was as tender as the commander of a German U-boat. Abandoning a human being unders) conditions of that kind is to say the least grossly inhuman, - The fact that, a fellow man was in distress under those conditions, even though he had been a stowaway, would have - been sufficient to move most any ship cap- tain to have done his utmost to rescue him, for such rescue was-entirely feas- ible as his 'ultimate rescue proved.| But there are no -thanks due to thej McIntosh and if there is a lJaw among steamship men for the disciplining of such an offender it certainly ought| to be invoked.

An appeal of the women of Armenia to the: women of America to help them and protect them from the Turks has been forwarded from Geneva by an Armenian girl, Nelly de Warhramoff, for distribution in the United States. In a note accompanying it the girl says that hr appeal has the approval of Antony Krafft Bonnard of Geneva, secretary-general of the federation of Swiss committees of friends of Ar- menians. The plea reads: “To_you, our sisters, women of the United States, we cry out in our an- guish.
