OSTMASTER GENERAL HAYS right in “planning to extend and popularize the postal savings system by increasing the number of offices where savings may be deposited. Even better is the proposal to pay an interest rate more nearly commensurate with the earings the Government makes from the funds deposited. It is significant that the banks no longer criticise the plan. When postal savings were first suggested the banking interests were violently opposed. Now, if the Government will only keep the interest rate below ‘the current savings bank rate, the bankers generally will agree that anything that stinmulates thrift and saving and draws out hoarded money is good for the banks as well as for the country at large. What s ment needs to concern itself in keeping the interest rate low. Many fail to see why the Govert.ment should depend on depositing this money in banks and accepting the rate of interest the banks are will- ing to pay. Why shoukin’t the Postal Savings 1e- partment invest a substantial share of the deposits in Government bons yielding about 5 per cent., and so be able to pay savers about as much as the ings banks do? If, as Postinaster General Hays sgvs, “the Gov- ermment has been profiteering” in loaning savings déposits to the banks at 24-2 per cent. or 3 per cent>-what must be said of the banks which refuse to loan this same cheap nvoney on homes at the legal rate of 6 per cent.? eemys strange to many is that fhe Govern- { ve NOT TELLING WHY, Dr. Nicholas Murray Butler js telling the Engtish that Harvey told the truth. We are loth to believe that Dr. Butler 4s telling the truth when he makes such a statement. But if he is telling the truth, he is not ex- plaining why it is the truth. In so far as there is truth in Harveyism,,it is because Dr. Butler and the majority of the others of the Eminent Thirty-one did not—to use a forcible old Anglo Saxon phrase—have the guts to stand back of the principles they professed. Harvey and Hirem did. Dr. Butler is not making such explanations. Under the circumstances his English hosts may bepardoned_ if they prefer blunt Harveyism to Dr, Butlet’s spineless Thirty-oneism.

HIS week will see New York's programme ot T summer music in full swing, with municipal music on piers and in parks, community singing on the Mall in Central Park, the enjoyable concerts on the “Green” at Columbia University and the more ambitious programme of symphony concerts in the Lewisohn Stadium at 137th Street. Judging from the winter season, the music for the suinmer will be better than ever and will meet with deeper appreciation than in other years, The pity is there is not more of it and better dis- tributed the city, so that good music would be readily accessible to all who love it. In winter the gratification of a taste for the best music entails considerable expense, for, un- fortunately, New York has no endowed or munici- pal home for fine music at popular prices. In sum- mer moonlit skigs have proved the ideal background over for the best musical organizations available. Sup. port the bands and orchestras comes fron Public-sy zens and the cit The-eool of evening bi is an attraction for those Whose love of music has never fully awak- ened. The awakening takes plice under most fayor- able circumstances. No one can estimate the part which summer music has played in providing pat- rohage ior winter where heavy admission is charged.

The peace resolution has done more than merely leave President and Senate free to proceed to a straightening out of the foreign relations muddle. By the complications and embarrassments it raises, the peace resolution makes further definite moves urgent and unpostponable. Again we insist the country should keep before it whatever President Harding has said that can be taken as even the framework of a foreign poficy, in order that public opinion may be ready to back him in any forward movement out of the mess. Here are the chief recorded hints and adumbra- tions of a Harding foreign policy, in sequence: “I shall urge prompt passage of the resolw tion declaring at an end the preposterous con- dition of technical war then we are actually at peace.” Congress has finally passed such a resolution. “I have no expectation whatever of finding it necessary or advisable to negotiate a separate peace with Germany.” “It would be idle to declare for separate treaties of peace with the Central Powers on that . the assumption these alone would be adequate.” The alternative? “The wiser course would seem to be the ao ceptance of the confirmation of our rights and interests as already provided and to engage under the existing treaty." © © © There, gathered into a nutshell, are the Harding utterances that can be put together into something that might pass for a consistent, forward-moving foreign policy. Taking it to mean what it says, if this sequence of Harding statements does not lead logically to a resubmission of the Versailles Treaty to the Senate, to what does it lead? MORE STREET SHOWERS. AST evening a group of youngsters in a crowJed district on the lower west side found pleasure and relief in the cooling stream from a fire hydrant opened by a merciful fireman, The youngsters breasted the stream and rolled on the washed pavement while their elders stood on the curb and enjoyed the cooling effect of evapora- tion. There was no apparatus, nothing but a gushing stream, but this satisfied for want of anything better. last summer Fire Chief Kenlon experimented with a portable shower. The plan is to have more such apparatus this year. The need is so evident it is surprising that it has not been met long ago. When the sun is low and traffic has decreased, is ibere any better use to which streets may be put’ Would it not be wise to encourage neighborhood groups of parents to purchase simple shower appa- ratus for the benefit of the children, the city fur- nishing the cooling and relieving water for these showers? c | THE GENTLEMAN FROM FRANCE.

XXIl—The Man Who Beat Back Asia in the We It was nine centuries after the bat- tle of Salamis and almost three cen- turies after Attila that Asia made another attempt to dominate Europe by striking at the West. In a single century Mohammedan- ism had made astounding progress in Asia and Africa; had swept into Europe by way of Spain and its forces stood expectant on the line of the Pyrenees. ‘Abderrahman, the master of Spain, was the commander of the Army of the Faithful which in 732 crossed the Pyrenees and poured into Gaul. Ab- derrahman’s progress is thus de- scribed by an Arab chronicler; “The Moslems smote their enemies and passed the River Garonne and laid waste the country and took captives without number. And that army went through all places like a desolating storm. Prosperity made these warriors inaatiable.” But a champion was rising in Pu- rope. That champion was Charles Martel, Duke of the Austrasian Franks, described by E. 8S. Creasy as. the “bravest and most thoroughly Germanic part of the nation.” It was Charles Martel—that is to say, Karl the Hammer—who fell upon the Saracens as they were in the act of storming Tours to sack it and put its imhabitants to the Moslem sword. That was a great battie, not only on sccount of the enormous size of the forces engaged but because of the destinies that hung upon the out- come, It Abderrahman should prove vie- torious, Europe would fall to the Moslems. That meant that the Sare- cens throughout their dominions would confront the conquered peoples with the choice of embracing Isianr or submitting to the sword. Charles Martel and his army were the “thin red line’ that separated Asia from Europe on the soil Yestern Europe, the soil of Frankish kingdom which gave name to France. Here is an Arabic account of the battle: “The Moslem horsemen dashed fiercely and frequently against the battalions of the Franks, who resisted manfully, and many fell dead on either side until the going down of the sun, * * ¢ “In the gray dawn of the morn- ing the Moslems returned to the bat- tle, Their cavaliers had soon hewn their way into the centre of the Chria- uan host. “But many of the Moslems were fearful for the safety of the spoil which they had stored in their tents, and a false cry arose in thelr ranks that some of the enemy were plunder- ing the camp; whereupon several squadrons of the Moslem horsemen rode off to protect their tents, “And while Abderrahman strove to check their tumult and to lead them back to battle the warriors of the Franks came around him and he was pierced through with many spears, #0 that he died. “Then all the host fled before the enemy, and many died in the flight.” That ‘deadly battle,” as the Arab chroniclers call it, marked the last ittempt by Asia to invade Eu either through the east or tha west—until the arrival of the Osmanti Turks into the Balkan peninsula fve centuries ago. The Charles Martel that struggled and conquered to save Europe from this Asiatic invasion was Jan Sobieski, King of Poland. ot the tus And Europe repaid him by pert:- tioning Poland by successive dismem- berments until there w: noth x left of it—except the will of Its peop! survive. to WHERE DID YOU GET THAT WORD? 45—FISH. “All is not fish that swim,” reflect~- ed the sapient philosopher as he be- held a summer girl taking to the ocean, The sapient philosopher was formulating a great truth when he came to that conclusion. The whale, for instance, although it unquestionably swime, is more closely related to the cow than to the min- now, The seal is closer kin to the dog than to the fluke. To a great many fishermen the word “fish"—see Latin “piscis” and Duteh “visch” (the same word)— possesses only the verb form, “to fish.” Cateh- ing fish is nota necessary part of the process of fishing. The thing is “to fish,” and not primarily to catch fish, (See fishermen on the nks of the Seine, in Paris, “fishing” all day with. out getting even a bite from a min- now.) A famous Englishman by the name ot Izaak Walton was one of the most persistent patrons of the verb ‘to fish. The word “fish” was also ex- tensively used during the war In an effort to save meat for the fighters, From the Wise Without hope a man is but a poor creature; his life is like a durk night which seems to huve no end, ~-Louis M.
