Sweet Race Riots and Present Liv ing Conditions. r Possibly the "race problem" is renl ly n housing problem nt least, so du ns the north is concerned. ' What has mused the race riots in Chiruifo and other northern cities lately? Snys hn eastern paper; "The Influx of colored laborers and their families from the south during the war neces sarily Rnvo rise to the question of how to house them; nnd there being not enough room. In the districts in habited by their own race, they natur ally tool? up residenco In the sections where tho Vhite people were living. The hitter, of course, resented this, nnd so for months there have heeen hostile feelings between tho two races." It is well known that white people nnd bluek people do not get along well as neighbors. Quite nside from any theoretical question of "equality," it is always better us n practical ar rangement to hnvo them living in sep niiilo districts. Where the whites nnd blacks of any community are thus separated, nnd whoro neither Intrudes on tho other except for nocessnry pur poses of work nnd business, they gen orally get along nmlcnlily. Where'the two rnces touch, thero is nenrly nlwayg what might he called rnciai abrasion. They qunrrol nlong the edges. And if for any reason the edges shift nnd brenk, nnd one section crowds Into the other, the quarreling is likely to spread through the whole mass. That means race riots. The north invited those negroes dur ing the war. The communities Into which they moved expected to profit by their labor, nnd did. Those com munities ought, as n simple matter of rommon sense, to hnvo provided the necessary facilities for tho additional negroeB alongside of their own race, and thus kept them from encroaching ' on the white sections. If they had done that, there would probably have been little trouble. A sensible building policy might yet solve (he problem. More About the "Y" in the War Service. ii a i A detailed report of the war work el the V. M. C. A. puis that nrgniiiy.ii tun in u more favorable light than mi;:ht have been expected from the widespread criticism which prevailed n fi w months ne;o. Tho "Y" .actually spent In its war service, from the end of April, l'.UT, to the end of March, liil'.l, about $:iS, 00(1,010, and hud - .,HII left to carry on the work until next January. Only two per cent of that JllS.OtiO. 0(10 was spent for religious purposes. The rest was for personal services and entertainment, mvessui y expenses ant! tile distribution of supplies. The impression that .-olihers had to pny for everything they got from ihc' Y. M. C. A. is refuted by such riots tin these: There were tifu.flOO baseballs ami 20,000 sets of boxing gloves distrib uted free overseas. There were !I7,OIH1,000 free concerts, vaudeville performances and other en tertainments given in American can "tonruents, and more Vhitn ot.000 con certs lllul entcrtainnienfs overseas, costing altogether over $lHto,(iiili. l-'or ltlotioi picture films there was ax ponded irtoro Jluin $1,000.0110.

On hi( whole, however, thin Krejit inHtituiions Keenm to tiavo mt fo fined a bitf, cmlitaiile work, who.se worth iH only beginning to find proper appreciation, e o Indpendeet strikers Hurt ing Labor's Cioe. The strike of ninny groups of rail rond shop workers in anticipation of the strike referendum was unfair to the government, unfair to the puMir and unfair to the cati.se of organized labor. The government had provided the machinery for the HeUlemcnl of rail road labor disputes, nnd that machin ery, though admittedly slow of netion, had not. broken down or been repudi ated. Them was no evidence that the government was acting, or would act, in bad faith. The Mi-ike referendum Itself np pear to have been rather hasty. Hut if the men hat! waited until it was taken, and then struck in obejience; to Us verdict, they would have nctrtl with regularity. (lovernment jinri pub lic would have had Rome warning nt least; Inm nens men would have hail Home slight chance to adjust their af fairs; and not least important, the dis cipline nnd good faith of the labor or ganization concerned would hnve been maintained. Hy walking out so hastily, the hot hendfi disobeyed their- own officers, broke their own rules, and endangered the very principle of collective har-gitining. CIRCUS EXCITES THE SMALL BOY Ovr tho.

Accurate War Histories No Quickly Compiled. Already the book shop shelves are piled with histories of the war, ami book ngents are ringing the door bells of the houses or working their way into offices to sell them. No doubt there are some nmong all the multitude of publications which have merit. They may be nioileratelv uccurate or comprehensive or interest ing. Hut to pretend that in so short a time after the great conflict there can be any true history of it would be absurd. It will tako time, the advantage of further perspective, much gathering nnd comparing of daln, to put upon the market anything which even faint ly approaches a finished history. - Not until, many a long year has passed will all the evidence lie in. Tlieer were countless happenings, ren- I sons for movements, political in trigues, which nre only now beginning to see the light of day. It took half a century for historians to understand and do justice to -the French Revolution. Certain histories of this wnr may be useful but only no temporary makeshifts. - DEATH OF JONES WAS ACCIDENTAL (Contlnw. from INiRe. 1) in attendance nt the funeral services and the pall bearers will lie six Union youths who nerved in the unit with hint.

The mere announcement that the big show is coming will cause small boys to become active, performing all sorts of jobs with an alacrity that will stand in vivid contrast to their de meanor before the first fiins of the circus appeared. And, likewise, finite a laitfu number of uncles and aunts are looking about, raking up acquui.-i-, lances among their nephews and niec es.

Twenty-two sepnratc tents are ne cessary to accommodate the Hagen-beck-Wallace shows, and they are so large that they cover a small size farm. The big arena tent is 540 feet in length nnd among the largest evev constructed. It is supported chiefly by six enormous center poles greater than those used on the biggest sail ing vessels. The performance is giv en in three rings and on two stages. The Carl Hageubeck trained wild ani-, mals perform in a massive steel-gird- ed arena. More than flOO performers take part in the progrnm.
