X. Milholland, University Park. Second Protest. F7 X. Milholland, of the Baltimore and Ohio, and who lives at 219 University Parkway, is among those who have complained of the dump nuisance on this parkway just east of St.

Paul street. He says the nuisance, has not been abated and that the fire and smoke annoyances from the dump continued yesterday. He, has sent a letter to Marshal Carter, in which he says in part "In connection with my visit to your office yesterday (Thursday), at which time I laid before your representative the general nuisance, created by the burning of the city dump on University Parkway, just east of St. Paul street, I call your attention to the attached clipping from this morning's Sun. "After the courteous reception at your office and the assurances given that the matter would 'be immediately looked into and the nuisance abated, I was considerably disappointed to find that my plea was in vain, as the fire raged fiercely all afternoon and well into the night, with practically no cessation of dense volumes of obnoxious smoke, and is still smoking considerably this (Friday) morning, but nothing like as badly as yesterday.

The abatement, however, is not due to any one's efforts, but simply the successful accomplishment of those who started the burning and permitted its continuance. "There are two things that can be done. First, abandon the dump entirely. (This is no place for such purposes.) Second, if the dump must be, confine it strictly to paper and rubbish (positively no garbage) and under no circumstances permit its burning. "Yesterday's conflagration was apparently preconceived, prearranged, deliberately set and fired, after which it was permitted to continue.

Perhaps it was done to consume the debris before fillipg in with earth. If so, it was a success." FOUR DAMAGE SUITS FILED United Railways And Auto Owners Named As Defendants.

INVENTORIES REQUESTED Belief That Action Means Early Return To The Owners. It is believed here that the Federal Railroad Administration is paving the way for the return of the roads to private ownership by the end of this year. This recommendation, it was recalled, was made by President Wilson while he was attending the Peace Conference in Paris. The impression prevails that the roads will not be turned back without many reservations and further regula tions for their future. As Congress has not acted on these suggested measures, some feel that the return cannot be made until they have been enacted into law.

The fact, however, that the Federal Railroad Administration has asked the roads to make an inventory of the material they have on hand at this time, with all they have purchased, but not yet delivered for the remainder of this year, leads to the belief that the informa tion is wanted for a final settlement. The request to make this inventory has come to the Baltimore and Ohio, the schedule to cover all material on its lines both East and West. Similar statements have been requested from the Pennsylvania and the Western Maryland. It is not unusual for railroad managements to prepare these inventories, and this may be the only reason why the Federal Railroad Administration seeking the information.

GENERAL PERSHING. Congress has echoed the feeling in the American heart in its reception and praise of General Tershing. lie is one of the few men clothed with great responsibility by the war who measured up to it. He proved himself a one hundred per cent, success. Whether he was popular or unpopular with our soldiers in France, he did what he was sent to do, and he did it with fewer mistakes than almost any other man charged with the performance of such stupendous tasks.

What must strike everyone is the fact that he has nothing to explain, that he performed in a masterly way a u'nrl- iv Vi ir'lt rprmirp1 a mncW rmnil a situation of the utmost difficulty he found no difficulties he could not conquer. No one else in the Allied armies, or our own, could have done better than he did. because his achievements were, in their way, superlative. He functioned like a perfect machine, and from first to last scarcely slipped a cog or missed an inch in his calculations. He was absolutely the right man in the right place.

lie comes back with a score of unbroken victories, with an unparalleled record of success. No small or inferior man could have made such a record. But for him, the story of our campaigns in France might have been marred by many tragic and costly blunders. General Pershing deserves all that can be said in praise of him. If we should be threatened again in the imme diate future, we should turn again to him and place our fortunes in his hands.

Congress is too niggardly, to give him a sword. But he does not need it. He was himself the flaming sword of America in France, and before it the Hohen- zollern dynasty tottered and fell. PRIMARY PRINCIPLES OF WATER PROBLEM. THE Water Engineer Lee's estimate that to provide an adequate water supply for the next thirty years will require an outlay of $25,000,000 is calculated at first sight to send cold shivers down the community's financial spine, especially in view of the tax burdens for ordinary expenses that we are called upon to shoulder now.

But several things must be remem bered in considering this subject. One is that "needs must when the devil drives." The devil of necessity is driving us in this matter, and apparent impossibilities can be performed when it becomes a question of necessity. An adequate water supply is as absolute a necessity for a city as is ground for it to stand on. We can do. for months without many other things without fatal results, but we could not do without water for a week.

An earthquake could not destroy a city as effectually as the cutting off of its water, or a serious diminution of it. No water, no city little water, little city. A city, like a cornfield, will dry up without water. That's the starting point with regard to the water question the point of necessity. We have got to have an enlarged and assured water supply, and the longer we pat off providing for it, the more it will cost us.

It will cost us more now because we failed to settle it right some years ago. We will have to pay now for failing to look it squarely in the face then. Another thirg to remember is that this expenditure will cot be simply a municipal obligation. It will be a municipal asset that will, help to pay for iteelf in the increased attractiveness, convenience and efficiency of the city as a place of residence and business. Our investment in a sewerage system has brought U3 and will bring us in these ways far more than we have put into it.

Many of us thought after our great fire that it would be impossible to meet such a task. But we are all mighty glad now that we didn't take counsel of our fears. Still another thing to bear in mind is that this work is not all to be done at once. It will take a number of years, and the strain will thu3 be spread over a considerable period of time, during which our resources should be constantly growing. The two really important things now are, first, to decide to begin, to determine not to procrastinate; and the second is to do what we have to do so that we will not have to do it over again.

We must go ahead without delay, but we must be sure we are right before we go ahead. Engineer Lee's views deserve respect ful consideration. But he himself, we imagine, would prefer that they should be reviewed and indorsed by experts from whose judgment there can be no appeal. The scheme of enlargement may cost less than his estimate, or it may cost more We do not want to expend a dollar that is not absolutely justified; we should not. withhold a dollar that will make our water future secure.

What is not problematicat-er open to discussion is that we should make a start immediately in mapping out our plans for the settlement of a question which cannot be evaded. IT ALL DEPENDS ON OURSELVES. Baltimore will soon be in the position to make a very large place -for herself on the map of the ocean, if our business )copl: utilize properly the new opportunities opened for us by the activities the Export and Import Board of Trade. Through its energetic efforts the national Shipping Board has been induced to promise the establishment next month of twelve regular lines of steamers from this city tp foreign ports. These are not "painted ships upon a painted ocean," but real ones ready to carry real cargoes to European and South American countries.

They will form a very a I BT THE BEWTZTOWN BAUD. (FOLGEB McKlNSEY.) MARYLAND MUSINGS. OLD CALVERT STREET. I love Its way of" dipping down Toward the wharves at foot of town, Its quiet primness and content, Its eagerness to be intent Upon the business that's at hand And round it in the summer eve That air of antique make-believe That passes through it like a dream Of Long Ago beside a stream Far down the shores of Maryland. Its hank that stood the famous fire.

Staid as a rock, and scarred and stained. But steadfast amid the sweeping flame" To match the importance of its name, No matter how the cinders rained, Or how the blaze leaped ever higher; Its office building and hotel, -And up at Fayette prim and neat The monument that crowns the i street. its mingled shops that teem With foreign lines the stoic gleam Of white stone-trimmed old houses, where There's such a boarding-housey air.

Where grew the old wistaria flowers, And roses rich with antique lore In the old lives of Baltimore.

Be Good. Better be good to the love that is love If you want to be happy and loved and right If you want to be glad as the stars above. And want to see life with the light of lights- Better be good and the rest will rise As the spring flowers rise from their wintry bed Like little children of light 'neath the skies i In this world where beauty is never dead. Better be good if you want to feel fine. And to know fine things and to keep high dreams: For the good brings all that is most divine, And so mnch sweeter than all else seems.

Better be good and the trouble will flee, And the cares will lighten, the sorrows go: For it is only the good who are good as can De That can feel and can thrill and can dream and know. B. B. In Other Words, Wonld You Sug gest Pepsin? Dear Sir: Judging from the following quotations from Mr. Wilson's speech, delivered in California yesterday "My heart aches." "My heart burns" it would appear that the President was suffering from heart burn, or some similar desease.

We turn the old suit over, We make worn garments Then why not turn the spirit To make it fresh and new. To give it youth of feeling, And faith and courage fair And strength for upward wheeling To heights of holier air. And sometimes turn the heart, too. And help it turn up bright With fine and fresh revealings Of beauty and of light. There's something coming to us all That all in joy may live; Bust most in luck to him doth fall Who most doth live to give.

"American" Believes There Is But One Principle On Which To Deal With Labor Unrest And That Is Regard The. Right Of A Man To Work As Jnst As Sacred As The Right Of A Man To Quit Work And He Wonld Make It A Criminal Offense For The Man Who Refuses To Work To Interfere With The Man Who Wants To Work. To the Editor op The Siix Sir: I haye read the fHumb and Cummin's proposition by which they propose to settle the present labor unrest also other suggestions, but to my mind none or them are worth considering at the present time. 1 believe there is only one way bv which you can deal with the present situation successfully.

If you want to stop the source of the trouble, you must cut the tap root at once. all aeree that anvone has a ner- fect right to quit, a job when the pay and conditions don't suit him. But the minute he quits, he breaks the contract between him and the employer. He has then no more claim on the job than any one else, and has no more right to say I shan work at the job he has quit than 1 have to say he shan quit the job. Our Government made the mistake three years ago of allowing the railroad brotherhood to bully them.

Now the unions think all they have to 'do is to demand and threaten a You can't satisfy them. A contract made with them today is a Hun scrap J. of paper tomorrow. The way to settle these intolerable conditions is for Congress to pass a law at once making it a criminal offense for anyone by threat, act or intimidation to interfere with another at work. The penalty for the first offense to be five years in United States pen second offense 10 years, and third, 20.

Such a law is the only solution I can see today for these outrages. Congress is responsible for the present conditions and it. is up to them to correct it at once by such a Another great mistake was in holding helping hand to the foreigner. We have taken him in and given him food and shelter. He is now proving him self to be the frozen snake -that the farmer took in, and as soon as he; had thawed the snake out the farmer had to fight hiin for the possession of the house.

Before the foreigner has been here ong enough to get the fatherland ticks off of himself he is proposing to tell us what we shall and shan't do. They say, "Well, what are you going, to do about it?" My answer is, we can show' them better than we can tell them. We American men will not stand by and allow them to introduce Bolshevism into this country by which our mothers, wives and daughters will be outraged and murdered not so long as our old sixteen shooters are in good working order.

Baltimore, tSept. l'J. American. A Baltimore Hero Who Died In France. To the Editor of Tiie Sun Sir: Having read in this morning's issue of The Sun the request of John W.

Fro-man, Company Fifth Infantry, United Mates Army, Camp Meade, Maryland, for information concerning Daniel A. Hunter, a former Baltimorean, I re quest that you publish the following letter, the original of which I have this day mailed to Mr. Froman, of Camp Meade Mr. John W. Froman, Company Fifth Infantry, United States Army, Camp Meade, Maryland.

My Dear Sir Having read in the Baltimore Sun this morning concerning your request for information about Daniel A. Hunter, formerly of Baltimore, I would say that Hunter was my nrst ser geant in the Sixty-seventh Company, Fifth Regiment Marines. Fourth Bri gade, Second Division, American Expeditionary Forces, France. Hunter went across on une Id, 11117, as hrst ser geant or the bixty-seventh Company, which I commanded at that time. He was killed at Belleau oods in the early part of June, 1918, during the at tack of the Marines on these woods, re sulting in the capture and the stopping of the German advance to Paris; Hunter was killed; on the field of battle at Bel leau AVoods, receiving four or five Ger man maehme gun bullets through his body in rapid succession while gallantly urging on the men of his company to the attack.

The posthumous award of the distinguished service cross for extraordi nary heroism in the battle of Belleau Woods was made to Hunter and was presented to his wife, Mrs. Daniel, A. Hunter, residing at Westerly, R. I. Prior to his death.

First Sergeant Hunter was strongly recommended by me and by Major Julius S. Terrill, commanding our battalion, for promo tion to second lieutenant, United States Marine Corps, and he would undoubt edly have received his commission had he lived. "Dan" Hunter, as he was affection ately known to the men, was one of the finest men and most efficient soldiers that I have ever met. Previous to the great war, First Sergeant Hunter served under me for a period of three years at the Navy Yard, Portsmouth, N. and I was much pleased when I learned that he had been assigned as first sergeant of my company for service in France.

Prior to his enlistment in the Marine Corps he had served two enlistments in the infantry of the United States Army. The loss of Sergeant Hunter has deprived the Marine Corps of the service of one of its very best and most efficient non-commissioned officers. Hoping that this letter will give you the desired information, and recommending that you write to Mrs. Hunter at VV esterly, It. 1., I am Edward a.

Why Are The Orders Given For Government Food Through The Postoffice So Long A Great Many Have Been Waiting For Weeks And Can Get No Satisfaction.

To tiie of The Sun Sir: I am one of many of the poor boobs that thought they might get some food from Uncle Sam without being gouged by the merchants, and gave an order through parcel post August 18. Being a poor man, the amount I paid in, though small, $12, meant considerable inconvenience for two or- three weeks before catching up. I have been looking every day for the goods and I am still looking five weeks Monday. I have inquired at the Postoffice and they said the inspectors could not in spect it fast enough to supply the schools. Now the schools are not sell ing, and yet all this bunk about mail orders and opening a big store.

Don't you think they should serve the poor devils that have already paid their stuff first. I am an American on both sides, born here, but I am losing Jfoith fast in old Uncle Sam, under his present man agement. Anxious. Baltimore, Sept. 18.

Dr. McConachle's, Letter "Very Trne, But, Unfortunately, Everybody Is Trying To Grab And Steal All He Can. To the Editor of The Sujj Sir: Just a few lines to say that Dr. A. D.

McConachie's letter is true. If everyone would work or half work, the world would go right. But everyone is for himself. There is not one person any more that thinks about another. It is fight, snatch and grab every penny, cheat and steal.

There are the railroad for instance. They are the ones that are always wanting more money. Well, when they were getting less wages, they stole everything they and now they are getting good wages, and they still steal. If their wages are raised, they Will steal, so what difference is it if they get little or much? They will thieve from poor people that have to dig hard for their living. You can see them kill a chicken and then run with a bag to steal it.

Oh, dear me, I do love the railroad men They will want to be paid for sleeping after a The engineers are paid more, than the statesmen because they have to know how to put on the brakes once in 'a while. Tepdybeab. Pearre, Sept. 18. 1 prise and resourcefulness in this situa tion.

THE THREATENED STEEL STRIKE. There is a good deal of forceful speech in the letter sent by the National Committee for the Organization of Steel Workers to President Wilson explaining why they will not postpone the strike of steel workers set for next Monday. But it is not to the point.

It gives some apparently good reasons why the men should strike if the Steel Corporation maintains its present attitude, but it does not give any good reasons why the strike should not be postponed until after the National Conference on the labor question to begin in Washington on October G. The purpose of that con ference is to see if there is not some better way for employers and employes to settle their differences than through strikes and if there is such a way to agree upon it. If an agreement should be reached and the Steel Corporation should refuse to abide by it, the workers would then be in a vastly better position before the public if they should decide to strike. As it is they will lack public sympathy, and few strikes have been won without it. -1 The steel workers, in fact, are in a less defensible position in this" connection than were the railroad shopmen when they threatened a strike a few weeks ago.

The latter were demanding more pay, and they might have.argued that the high cost of living made it necessary for them to have more pay immediately. The steel workers are not demanding primarily more pay. That is evident from the letter of the National Committee. They propose to strike primarily for the recognition of the union and as a protest against alleged efforts of steel industry officials to obstruct the organization of labor and to prevent free assembly and free sfyeeeh. These may be, under certain circumstances, legitimate objects of a strike, but not in the present circumstances.

The present urgent need of the country for greater instead of a lessened production, in order to accelerate the efforts of the Government to reduce the oppressive cost of living, demands patriotic co-operation on the part of all the people. The steel workers are certainly withholding such cooperation when they refuse to delay their strike a few weeks until it is ascertained whether the Washington Conference may not furnish them a way out of their difficulties. The fact is that the steel workers are forcing the strike at this time, without regard to the interests of the whole people and of the whole body of consumers, including the wage earners themselves, sinmlv because they feel themselves strong enough at this time to wage a successful fight. The amalgamation of the workers of the 24 crafts having to do with steel production into one organization has given them confidence and thev are willine to make a test of strength. They probably are afraid that the Washington Conference might find some more rational method of settling labor disputes than the rfne they propose to employ and thus deprive them of the onnortunitv to show their strength.

If that is their state of mind, then it is in evitable that the test must come and it is perhaps better that it should come quickly. But they ought to be reminded once more of the fact we have mentioned above, that few strikes are won without public sympathy. Weak organizations may win with it, but the strongest can not win without it. LEAVE US EMMA. Little fault will be found with the Bureau Immigration for issuing a warrant of deportation for Alexander Berkman as an alien anarchist.

He, it will be remembered, is the man who shot Henry C. Frick, and has since advocated violence as a method of fighting capi talism. He doesn't play the game ac cording to the rules. He isn't content to argue his case peaceably until he has converted a majority of the people to his way of thinking. He wants to put something over on the majority.

He isn't American and will be better off in his native Russia. But Emma Goldman is different. She has never shot anyone. If she has been intemperate of speech at times, that is to be expected of the female of the species. Her soap-box orations have been an attractive feature of the Amer ican landscape.

They have afforded her much relief and haven't hurt any one else appreciably. In so far as she has become dangerous, she has been made so by the attempts to suppress her. To deport her will be to make still more of a martyr of her. And it will detract from our local color. It is to be hoped that the bureau will change its mind and let Emma remain.

The cost of T'ving r- reduced in 12 States, but the Baltimore butter and egg dealers haven't heard of it. If an economic blockade of Fiume has really been proclaimed, we shall shortly have an illustration of how well flamboyant patriotism thrives on an empty stomach. If imitation is the sincerest flattery the irreconcilables in the United States Senate should be pleased at the action of the steel workers who are proposing reservations to the law of supply and demand. It was the Department of Labor, we believe, which furnished the in- formation that more than a million foreigners were preparing to leave this country, carrying w'th them seral bil lions of good American dollars. Now, the Commissioner of Ir igration gives the actual figures of those who have left since the armistice.

The precise "num ber is 102,513, which does not in the least exceed the normal rate. If the Labor Department's statistics concerning the cost of living are no more accurate than this we've been wasting a lot of sympathy on ourselves recently. tU'dy Cl'dy t'lear Normal temperature. .63 Maximum Mean Minimum temperature.60 Maximum velocity of the wind, 16 miles an how from the southeast.
