Lasker, chairman of the United States shipping board, when Mr. Lasker recently reported to him a defieit of $380,000,000 from the operation of the nation’s cargo ships in the last fiscal vear. Congress had appropriated only $100,000,000 to enable the shipping board to pay fts billa is evident that there hag- béen an amazing policy of waste and the im- portant question is whether the ship- board is now mn\ed to stop the On this point Mr.)Lasker warns the public against too rosy expectations. age cannot be repaired all at matter how drastic the meas- Further de- eaks. no es that will be adopted. its are to be expected and must be faced.

Mr. Lasker's predecessors apparently did not dare tell congress the whole truth. They delayed and drifted, hoping for a turn in trading and shipping ten- denc! They declined as too low vari- ous offers for tonnage. They were loath to write off depreciation aggregating billlons of dollars. But that is exactly what the shipping board wiil have to do, and the soomer it does the better. The government's cargo ships were bullt during an emergency at emergeney prices and with a degree of wasteful- that even the necessity of haste cannot fully excuse. What has happened since the armistice to world shipping thromgh lack of cargoes is well under- stood. Little past deficit for deficits ness is to be gained by lamenting but there is no justification in the future if they can possibly be avoided. Courage and frank dealing with congress and the public will facilitate tho solution of the shipping board's serfous problem. THE UNALLOTTED WOMAN. England ‘and France have the problem of the unallottéd woman on thelr hands and both countries are considerably per- turbed over its selution. War's ravages have taken toll of the youngest and; strongest and bravest men, leaving de- ficlency In males of 2,000,000 in the British Isles and close to 3,000,000 in France. Thus 5,000,000 unalfdtted wo- men present the problem for the two countries, and the auestion is what js to be done with-them. One eminent sociologist, Professor Patrick Geddes, ypredicts in the situa- tion 2 menace to British soclety, elaim- that “ctvilization is high or low ac- as women are at # premium or count.” Miss Lilliay Barker, direc- tor of the women's trafning and employ- ment committee in London, says that there are hundreds of thousands of wo- men yho cannot marry, and, unless they are helped, canmor find a job. She asks who can blame them if in order to live they back on their one remaining In France the Petit Bleu is print- Ing serious articles by Jean Hess who advocates ‘the legalization of polygamy. He declares that if nothing is done to th rate France will become absorbed by the foreign elements within twenty or thirty years. We hold a somewhat higher opinfon of womanhood and can scarcely sub- scribe to the bellef that the unallotted woman must necessarily be driven into a moral breakdown or complacently ac- the doubtful advantage of becom- ng a half-wife or a third-wife to some Why should we not expect that the undllotted woman is wholly capable of taking care of herself? It is not trne that woman unmarried is either worth- less or a menace to soclety. She is cap- able of increasing any natien's produe- mechanically and agrieulturally, the can make the wilderness blossom as the rose. And while half the kitchens of civilization are crying for earnest woman help, there Temaims a last re- source for the unallotted woman that is profitable. and honorable. Well design- ed efforts to place women in wage-earn- Ing occupations may be worth while and aseisted immigration may be desirable. But it is futile to suggest that ‘woman unmarried is either worthless of a men- sce to society, for it is mot true that all women are at théir best as wives and mothers. asset. WOOD AND THE PHILIPPINES. Philadelphia s stirred up over the re- cent reports that General Wood is look- ng kindly upon the suggestion from ‘Washington that he remain in the Philip- pines and help to get them out of the muddle into which they have come in the eight years that Mr. Harrison has been governor general. For be it remembered that General Wood has aceepted the presidency of the University of Pennsyl- vania, and it is late In the day to make a change. Clrculation of rumors that he will al- low himself to be deflected from his com- mitment to the university are ascribed in Philadelphia to the general's politi- cal ememies, who have as liltle use for him in the Philippines as they have for him at home. It might well suit their purpose to have such rumors put in circutation, There is no denying that a man of General Wood's Broad training ana practical sagacity is needed in Philippine that ‘the expansive and intensive forces solve. Having definitély committed him- self to aecept the chief command of the University, they belleve that he will come and that it is absurd to suggest that he knows his own mind so little TROOPS ON THE RHINE, One of the post-war expenses has been the maintenance of the small American army at Coblenz, kept there as an acknowledgment that this country should share to some extent in the re- sponsibility of keeping the Gérmans re- minded of their defeat until such time as they were ready to acknowledge it. Thig army is again under fire from the senate, where Senator Borah inguired recently what had been its cost to date and found out it was $240,000,000, which, under the terms of the armistice agreement. Germany is to pay., There is no imwediate prospect that they will do so, but the sum stands as a German obligation. . Now that Germany has gone to work, and given up hope of winning the war through the %ervice of her friendsin the’ countries recently arrayed in battle against her, there is little military need for the Rhine garrison at Coblenz. And perhaps the troops have served their po- litical purpose. Certainly they have been a constant reminder to the allied pow- ers, during the troubled months follow- ing the peace, that the United States is still in sympathy With the cause. Latter- ly, however, their main function has been ‘what might be called propaganda by demonstration. They have been so skilfully handled as to win for them- selves the distinction il European mili- tary, circles of avproval as the finest body of troops in the world. It is no small thing for European countries to have this reminder of American adaptive power before them. There will not be much objection from the public if the senate takes the initia- tive In a movement to order the return of these troops. Now that the war is closed, the garrison probably will not be needéd to protect American inter- ests. It is important, too, that the troops should be withdrawn during a pe- riod of quiet in Europe, so that no po- litieal significance can be.attached to the mwement. SPEED IN TAX REVISION. Promise of some speed in tax revision is given jn the decision of the ways and means committee of the house te limit lts hearings to four days. Such an indication will be welcomed by those industrics that have been clamoring for reliet from the uncertainties and bur- dens of .the tax system as it now stands. Propagandists of this or that new and untried form of taxation win apparently be given scant consideration but the committee Will rely upon the experienced officers of the treasury de- partment. It is now. considered likely that. the excess profits tax will be abolished, and in its stead there will be an addition- al tax at a flat rate imposed on cor- porate yearnings, Which Wwill ‘bring eor- porations more nearly on an equal foot- ing with unincorporated associations, which are subject \0 the normal tax and the surtax on- their net income. Some of the miscellaneous sales taxes which Secretary/ Mellon has dubbed “nuisance taxes” are probably to be abolished, and it ig ‘predicted that the surtaxes on in- comes in the higher brackets wilt'be re- duced, with the mdximum rate at about 40 per cent. The gieat productivity of the tax on transportation is looked upon as one reason why little change is to be expected there, but if the budget com- mittee can find a way to lop off half a Dbillion from the ‘present estimates, it is possible that there may be a substan- tial reduction in the transportation tax. The speclal new taxeg proposed as substitutes for the excess profits tax are not to recelve much attention from the committee, it is believed. There has been strong pressure,brotght to bear on behalf of the sales tax, and the cam- paign is by no means over, but the com- mittee is not expected to consider it fur- ther ‘at the present session. A substi- tute for the sales tax, in the form of a graduated tax on spendings, to be paid direct.y by the consumer, has recently Dbeen proposed by Representative Mills of New York. While this plan has some points Which make it worth more de- tailed - consideration its adoption would be admittedly an experiment, and this is no time for experiments. EDITORIAL NOTES.

[ ODD INCIDENTS IN AMERICAN WISTORY WHY HOPKINS WROTE COLUMBIA.” When republicanism ran rampant in America at the end of the 18th century, the ""Ca ira” or the “Marseillaise” hymn of France, seemed to most nearly meet the popular demand for spirited martial music as the expression of the feelings of a great majority of the Ameriean people. In order to combat this, the federalists did everything possible to turn this wave of patriotism for the bemefit of our own country, The theatre was gemerally the place where the demonstrations were most marked, and there began a bitter contest between the twe parties to which of their faverite musical numbers should be presented. The favorite musieal number of the federalists was “The President's March,” and they insistéd this spirited march should replace the Gallic murder-shouts of “Ca ira” and the “Carmagmele.” In the midst of this spirited wrangle a fa- vorite actor’s benefit drew near. No man knew better than he how to prefit by the popular will. Politics ruled the hour. The city was full of excited federalists who packed the theatre in Philadelphia night after-nighg for no other purpose than to shout themselves hoarse over “The Presi- dent’s March.” The actor determined to make use of this fact. He would take the mareh, find someone to write a few stanzas to suit it, and, on the night of his benefit, sing them to the house. A Some federalists were consuited, were pleased with the idea, and named Joseph Hopkinson as the man best fitted fo write the words. He confented and in a few hours “Hail Columbia” was produced. The night for the benefit was that of Wednesday, April 25, and the Gazette announced that the performance wouldd comprise a comedy called “The Italian Monk,” the comic opera of “Rosina,” and “HAIL of course, to be indifferent, impervious to what others think of you through = crisis, to stand pat on your own judgment and not be swayed from it. \ Actually the long, Stiff upper lip de- notes| permanent personal characteristics almost identical. This type of lip shows a decided ten- déency to be independent of what other people think. More than this, there is a certain amount of indifference denoted. The degree in which these qualities are measured, however, is not entirely by the actual length of the lip between the nose and the red part, but to a large extent by its shape, in profile. If it bulges between .the nose and the red part, this independence more likely than not amounts td extreme self-saMaction.

When well controlled, it may well be an asset, but uncentrelled It generally leads you from disaster to disaster; despite the ef- forts of others.

In connection with the cele- bration of the anniversary the National Geographic ‘Society has issued from its ‘Washington, D. C. headquarters, the following bulletin on Peru: ““Most countries, unless they are con- tinental in extent,” says the bulletin, “must be content with a small range of climatic conditions but Peru oceu- ping less than a tenth of South Am- erica, ‘has every climate under the heavens together with many of the pro- ducts that go- with them.

Long before the curtain rose the house was too small to hovl the thousands who clamored to be let in. Those who get in were too excited to wait quietly for the song. At last the comed” was ended and Mr. Fox appeared upon the stage. Every line was loudly applauded, the whole house joined in the chorus, and when the verse “Behold the chief, who now com- mands,” was reached, the audience rose to its feet and chegred Four times the lands of Kashmir; the snowy peaks -of Switzerland; and the tropical jun- gles of Central Africa and Brazil. “Much of Peru is occupied by the towering Andes, with few passes less 15,000 feet high, and with numerous peaks exceeding 21,000 feet.

The few in the audience' who called for “Ca ira” were quickly put down. The words of “Hail Columbia” were printed in full in the newspapers of the following day. The Gazette had a long article on the subject, and said It hoped that every lady in the city would practice the music, learn the words, and sing them at the next repetition: “then perhaps the two or three French-Americans who remained might feel the charm of patriotism and join in the chorus of the somg. There was, however, onme “French- Ameriean” in the city whom no federal song could charm. The editor of the Au- rora treated the sceme in the theatre! with Dbitter contempt. On Wednesday, following the introduction of' ‘Hail Co- lumbia,” he assured readers. the ad- mirers of British tyranmy assembled at the New theatre. He said: “The mana- gers had announced om the play bills of the day that a new patrietic somg would be sung to the tune of ‘The President's March.” ‘All the British merchants, all the British agents, and many of eur con- gressional Tories attended te do hemor to the event. ‘When the wished-for song. came, which confained, amidst the most ridicu lous bombast, the vilest adulation of the Anglo-monarchial party and the two presidents, the ecstasy of the faetio knew no bounds. They encored, they shouted, they hecame ‘mad as the priest- ess of the Doric God'." “Hail Columbia” had met the desired result, it had turned the table upon the republicans, and there Was now no longer any question as to ‘what tunes should be heard in the theatre, and the federalists, highly elated, brought out new, songs and turned the playhouse into a political engine of great power.
