Ingersoll, former Park Commissioner of Brooklyn and for the past eighteen months serving with the French Army as a Y. M. C. A. or Foyer worker, has written some inter.

esting letters in which he describes the methods, and tells why they have been 50 bitterly criticised by American soldiers. main TO reason for complaint against the has been that things are not given away or sold below cost, according to Mr. Ingersoll. He tells of the ditticulties under which supplies of tobacco and candy were received, and of the Y. M.

C. A. directors' decision that a loss of $3.000,000 a year would be assumed hereafter, rather than continue the methods which have invoked the criticism. Mr. Ingersoll writes: army supply divisions have brought cigarettes over here in transports, or other Government boats, without cost of transportation.

while the 'Y' has to pay this expense. Both organizations have sold at actual cost; fair prices being asked in one case, but not in the other. This difference has stopped now, however, as the 'Y' has decided to stand a loss of 000 a year rather than have the mis-! "The difficulties which have grown out of this one matter of smoking tobacco are legion. For instance, the French prices on cigarettes are very high, as the Government has a monopoly, thereby realizing a large part of the revenue. Tariff rates on imports of tobacco are naturally very high, and to buy American tobacco or cigarettes through a French source, one must pay at least double the American price.

"The French Government, in justice, charges a duty for goods brought in for the American Army, whether for the Commissary Department or but of course it is understood that these things will be used only for the American Army, The result is that American and French divisions get badly mixed up, with the 'Y' refusing to sell to the French Poilu; whereas, the Foyer can sell to all alike. could write pages on the ramifications of this one difficulty, about which, of course, the soldier knows nothing. I might add that even were it not for this situation, the problem would still be a hard one, as the army is large, and there is not enough tobacco supplies to fill the demand.

These men are growing less and less in proportion, and seem to lose the tendency as they approach the front.

finding themselves occupied with humbler but more urgent matters. "I do not notice or hear any appreciable difference in religious feeling as a result of the war; on the contrary, I have heard from many soldiers, both French and American, their points view. which seem to be, 'Let us eat, drink and be merry, for tomorrow we may Why K. of C. Huts Are Popular.

In regard to the K. of C. huts, with the admiration and praise they have received from the soldiers, Mr. Ingersoll says: "I have seen only three or four K. of C.

huts, and they were in Paris. The American soldiers praise them because they give things away. That makes the Y. M. C.

took over the Army canteen in addition to all its other work and then was criticised by the soldiers for not running it like a department store." Writing the restrictions against selling the Americans, Mr. Ingergoll "In a certain section near the front I happened notice the confusion which was caused by an order forbidding local merchants selling wine to our soldiers while the French Poilu could have all he wanted, only stronger liquors being forbidden. The privilege is seldom abused by the French, as they know how to take care of the wine, while our boys don't. The result of this is that American soldiers get the French to buy wine for them, while they in turn buy tobacco for the French. "Of course this is all right in some cases, but often a none too responsible Frenchman will take money from an American for the purpose of getting a bottle of wine and that is the last ever seen of him.

This makes our men think all Poilus are alike and some serious fights often result." Mr. Ingersoll cited one case where an American, enraged by a French lieutenant's statement that as American Headquarters had forbidden French merchants to sell wine to U. S. soldiers, it would not be at all proper for the French to buy anything from the Americans. This so enraged the soldier that he drew his gun and shot the lieutenant dead.

is only one instance." said Mr. Ingersoll, "but it goes to show that very often criticisms are based on single cases or details. and the broad and general meaning of an ordder is frequently overlooked."

Carroll. Daniel J. Donovan of the 14th A. D. was yesterday appointed warden of Raymond Street jail to succeed Lawrence F.

Carroll, who died a week ago. Sheriff Daniel J. Griffin, who made the appointment, sent for Donovan after County Leader John H. McCooey had been in conference with him. Donovan was immediately sworn in and took charge of the affairs in the jail.

Donovan is one of the most widely known men in the Eastern District. He was born in the old 14th Ward and is 50 years old. Until four years ago he was in the wholesale and retail liquor business. He turned the business over to hs son and went into the contracting business with Simon S. Hill of North 10th st.

and Driggs ave. Warden Donovan has always taken an active 1 interest in Democratic politics. He was a staunch supporter of the late Patrick H. McCarren, Democratic leader of Kings County and executive member of the 14th A. D.

It was erpected that Donovan would receive the appointment as wadden of Raymond Street jail three years ago under Sheriff Riegelmann but "Larry" Carroll was appointed. Donovan's friends were much wrought up over Carroll's appointment and there threatened to be a break in the ranks of State Senator Daniel J. Carroll, the leader of the district. There was talk of putting Donovan's name forward as executive member at the last primary election but he declined, claiming that he believed in regularity. FEARED ROBBERY HERE A man who evidently believes in safety first, rode up to Police Headquarters in a taxicab early today and asked to be allowed to turn $650 over to the police for safekeeping.

He. explained to Lt. William Fogarty, of the Detective Bureau, that he was on his way to Pier 6, Erie Basin, and having read of so many holf-ups in Brooklyn, he was afraid to take the money with him. He was also afraid to leave it in his room, having been informed that there had been a number of burglaries in Manhattan recently. He had been paid late yesterday afternoon, he said, and had not had time to deposit the money in a bank.

"I thought this would be a good place to keep it," said the man, who had the appearance of a seafaring man of about 30 years old. "It would be, if we conducted a bank," replied Lt. Fogarty, "but will do the next best thing. I will notify the Poplar st. station and have a detective accompany you to the pier." The escort was arranged, and the man left headquarters for the Poplar st.

station, feeling satisfied that he would reach his destination safely.

Write A. W. WATT, Cedar Grove, N. J. TOO LATE TO STOP MERGER BOND SALE City's Action Useless in Light Companies' Case- P.S.C.

Calls Hyland Tirade Gratuitous. That Mayor Hylan's tirade against the Brooklyn Edison merger, launched on the eve of his departure for Palm Beach, was purely gratuitous and that the Corporation Counsel has no basis for contesting the legality of the combination, is the opinion of the Public Service Commission. Commissioner F. J. H.

Kracke, who wrote the memorandum which resulted in the order of the Commission approving the merger of the Kings County Light and Power Company and the Edison Illuminating Company of Brooklyn, and permitaing the Brooklyn Edison Company, which is the name of the new corporation. to isue $5,500,000 bonds, said today: "The fact is that the two companies did not have to come to the Public Service Commission for permission in so far as the merger is concerned. Both were manufacturing concerns and as such had the undoubted legal right to combine without getting permission from anybody except their stockholders. "The question of the merger was by the Commission only in connection the proposed issuance of "bonds by the new concern. and the Commission readily approved the merger which it learned was in pursuance of a plan of simplifying the form of the organization of the two companies, and abolishing the intercorporate relations of the Edison Company and the Kings County Light Company which were rather complicated, in order to facilitate the financing of expenditures for necessary additions to equipment and plant.

"All expenditures 'covered by the application were investigated by the Commission through its engineers and accountants, and the Commission found that the purposes for which the proceeds of $5,500, par value of the bonds were necessary, were not in whole or in part reasonably chargeable to operating expenses or to income, except as to $825,000 or SO much of that sum as may be necessary to meet the expense of sale and make up discount. "The application was based upon expenditures for property. For more than eleven years these two companies had been regulated by the Commission, and have been required to make extensions and improvements land render adequate service at rates prescribed by the Commission. To meet the demands of the vast increase, in patronage, the companies had been obliged to make extensive improvements, and recently the improvements have involved expenditures at the rate of $2,000,000 or more a year. "The companies' franchise rights have been challenged in litigation of a protracted nature, and it is obvious that the legal questions cannot be solved except by the courts.

The Corporation Counsel of the City appeared at the hearings before the Commission and objected to the granting of the application upon the ground, chiefly, that neither the Edison nor the Kings County Light Company possessed any valid franchise. There is la provision in the Commission's order that fully protects the city's rights in this matter." From an authoritative source it was learned that any proceedings the Corporation Counsel might undertake bonds to stop the sale of the $5,500,000 will come too late, as the bonds have already been sold.
