K. Y THE WAY they take the situation, New Yorkers are giving) B the assurance they should give that there is going to be no panic or jumpiness in this city because German submarines, tre hunting and being hunted in nearby waters. Since by this time the Teutons’ special fondness for springing, surprises in the shape of shells and bombs in unexpected places) rmong non-combatants or wounded is well known, it would be foolish not to be prepared for a possible attempt to show New York some such feats of futile frightfulness. ' The city should understand and obey the “lights out” order without any notion that it is immediately to be bombed, but with realization that its innumerable flashing electric lights and signs in high places might easily afford cover for signaling operations by enemy spies at night. Danger or no danger, it will do New York no harm to discipline itself in ways to which Londoners—though no German army has touched British soil—had long since to accustom themselves. If New Yorkers need an example and an inspiration they have both in the people of Paris, who, The Evening World’s correspondent, | Martin Green, cabled yesterday, continue to go calmly about their ye ness and gayly to their pleasures despite air bombs, despite shells m long-range German “super-guns,” and even whila the great battle upon which so much is now depending rages only a short auto- mobile run from the Paris boulevards. — 4 AMERICAN FIGHTING IN FRANCE. HE country is not so much occupied with submarine raids off 7 its shores as not to have plenty of attention and enthusiasm for what American fighters are doing to help halt the enemy drive in France. Last night’s communique from Gen. Pershing tells of an en- counter in which our troops broke up an advance of the Germans to the northwest of Chateau-Thierry, driving them back to the north of Neuilly Woods; while on the Marne front French and American forces attacked a German battalion that had croseed the river and rent it ecuttling back with “severe losses in killed and prisoriers.” At is now officially admitted that American divisions, amounting to the largest force Gen. Pershing has yet used, are in the thick of it, fighting side by side with the French along the battle-front from Soissons to Rheims, The cool markmanship of the Americans is particularly noted and admired, as well as the tenacity with which they hold what they When S aN My Matrimonial Chances’ Recording the Experiences in Pursuit of Love | of a Young Girl of Thirty | By Wilma Pollock Copyright, 1918, by The Pres Publishing Co, (The New York Evening Worlt), | R ympathy Proved Dangerous | © man had ever needed mo as much as Lesile Fleming, the Wgdzines I Pe By Roy L.

HE usual form of lease signed by the New York apartment house landlord and his several tenants has included a para- graph recognizing the obligation of the landlord—save uring necessary repaire—to furnish the tenant heat and hot water. ‘Apartment house tenants who sign leases this spring, however, find that in many cases the heat and hot water clauses are qualified by typed-in amendments of which the following is a fair sample: Ourtatling or failure to supply the above mentioned ser- Vioos when such ourtadling or failure 1s due to inability to or @iftioulty in securing supplies or labor for the maintenance thereof shall not be deemed « constructive eviction nor shall the tenant be entitled to any reduction in rent reserved herein by reason of such curtailing or failure. In other words, the landlord may shut off heat or hot water ee both on the ground that he is having “difficulty” in providing them, aid the tenant has no redre The vague plea, “difficulty to justify the landlord in withholding service he has contracted to provide, but no “diffi- culty” relieves the tenant of strict obligation to pay the full price fixed for such service, whether he gets it or not. In the experience of last winter is to be found, of course, the reason why New York Jandlords are seeking this extra grotection for themselves at the same time they raise rents, Some landlords—aol all, In contrast to the spirit and policy of the above is the following from the annual report—just published—of a realty company which houses 15,000 wage earners and which, though it pays dividends and adds to iis sinking fund, finds it nec essary to raise renta this Pring on an average only 4 per cent., when other landlords are boosting them from 20 to 30 per cent. During the cold spell last winter this company, to supply tenants with heat, “used eighty-five tons of coal @ day,” “With the exception of only four days it gave al! tenants heat throughout the famine period and during those four days still kept up the hot water supply. To compensate them for the lack of heat St allowed a rebate of ten cents a day on rent to each tenant for the four days,” Here are two markedly differing kinds of landlord attitude and landlord method. There is the best of reason to believe the second ically sound and as financially successful as the first.
