A conference is to be held at Lon-i don, beginning today, regarding the question of reparations. A delegation from Berlin has arrived at the British capital, headed by the German foreign secretary. Dr. Simons. The program of this conference contemplates first the presentation of the German views re garding the decision recently reached at Paris. Tomorrow it is expected the British premier will reply to Dr. Si mons. There is no expectation that the Germans will immediately declare acceptance of the terms, or that the aliied powers will grant any material modifications. Dr. Simons has gone to London with a volume of figures to show that Germany cannot pay the indemnity demanded. The representa- tives of England, France, Italy and Belgium are equally armed with statis- tics to prove that Germany must pa) At the first stage there will be a battle of figure: Meanwhile certain significant move- ments have been in progress along the line. French troops have been moved forward. Masses of artillery, parked some distance back, have been brought up into the Mayence bridgehead and in other respects preparations have been made for a possible immediate resumption of hostilities. Marshal Foch, having consulted at London with the allied premiers, is expected to re- . turn at once to Paris, to proceed thence academic. wreck is very decidedly a matter of public concern. Yet it is the disposi- tion of railroad officials almost in- variably after a smash to take secret The testimony and to conceal facts. result is that the public alwa Pects something is being withheld that should be immediately made known. In this case at Porter a most fr ful blunder was committed. The wre tributable to a human fault. And a human fault always means bad man- agement. bad inspection, bad discipline and particularly bad provision against possible failures. The man who makes the mistake is not the only one to blame. Somebody “higher up” is a countable for having made it possible that such a mistake could precipitate a wreck. For e ticular point, trains were speeded over the crossing at full pace. That was not the fault of the engineers, or the tow 'men, but of the railroad man- | ement. When anyvthing went wrong | with the switch r the nals there chance for “tion. 1. in the light of the ! of railroad wrecks, with the | lessons that they should have taught. this horror at Porter stands as one of the most shocking catastrophes in the ilroading. s no Taken all in histol history of American The Movie Censorship. | After all the disc n on the mo tion picture censorship question ves terday at the District building, the case goes back to the Commissioners consideration. can h at this nothing for Obviously nothing | done in the way of lawmaking And equally plainly > effectively undertaken | in the way of picture censorship short s of statutory end board with power. present this debate is somewhat If the Commissioners recommend a censorship law to Con- gress the whole matter will be thresh- ed out again before committees. But it is urged that there is now a sufficient police power in the District in effect to censor the movies by the prohibition of certain films. That pow- er, however, has not been exercised for a very long time. Yet some films have been produced in Washington tment creating a So that for the against which much protest has been voiced. The question arises whether there is a sufficient initiative at the District building, or sufficient force, to scrutinize the movies. Tt would seem that unless a squad of officials were mple, at this par-| “shot” at the duties of the presiding] officer of the Senate. He can talk so well that, if he cares, he can convert his experience in the Senate’s chair into information and en- tertainment for others. His eight years in Washington have been full of mat- ter, and, for one thing in particular, he has presided over one of the most in- teresting and important debates in the Senate's whole history. The discus- sion of the treaty Mr. Wilson brought home from Paris will have an abiding place in our annals. The chautauquans like politics. When the visitor is a politician with an official record he is assured of a large and appreciative audience. For a quarter century Mr. Bryan has been a topliner as an instructor and enter- tainer. Champ Clark and the late Gen. Grosvenor used to double up: and, to- gether, they packed big tents to the flaps and big halls to the doors. Mr. Marshall will enjoy his audi- ences, and his audiences will enjoy {Rim- —_— . o, Mr. Harding in Kelter.

Departmental conditions must be con- sidered, with a view of ending abuse and instituting reforms. Nor will this experience be of short duration. Tt will extend over a long time. So many changes have been wrought by the war, and so many new wrinkles introduced into our af- fairs? the task of putting things right again and pushing on to stability and prosperity will prove to be colossal. At all times we work a President pretty hard; and the record supports the statement that we have never had a lazy man in the White House. Without exception, they have buc- kled to the requirements of the place with a right good will. But not even Mr. Lincoln in March, , to Mayence to await the decision of|getailed to this duty—constituting a | 1861, faced a situation more confused the conference, which will probably + mot be rendered until Friday or Satur- y 8ay- ‘The meaning of this situation is sim- + ply that if Germany definitely and positively refuses to abide by the repa- rations stipulations troops will be mov- ed into German territory. This doés not necessarily mean a resumption of war, for war involves combat, and the Germans are in no position to contest the advance of French forces. It has been hinted that part of Foch's plan is to isolate Bavaria from the rest of Germany. Probably his scheme of op- erations in the event of a negative result at London has been most care- fully worked out to the last detail, and there is no reasdn to doubt its success. It is hinted in the dispatches that the French will not move until the terms of President Harding’s inaugural address are known, as the French of- ficials desire to show the United States that everything possible has been done (to avoid stern measures. There is “wothing to suggest that the French program will be altered by anything that may be said on the front steps of the Capitol at Washington. The de- elsgion, it seems, is to be given at Lon- don, not here. To France this is a matter of the ~most vital importance. Until Germany begins to pay on a fixed indemnity basis French industries cannot be re- stored and French finances cannot be stabilized. There is no mistaking the determination of the French people to exact full payment from Germany, even at the cost of renewed warfare. Doubtless Germany knows this and the ~“feeling prevails that after the custom. ~ssary bluff at London Germany will . ¥ield under protest, even as she yielded and signed the Versailles treaty. The presence of Foch’s forces at Mayence constitutes the strongest argument for acceptance. ——————— . The launching of the submarine 848 calls attention to the fact that this continent has an aristocracy that bas' been overlooked. The sponsor was Princess Tocowas, a descendent of Chief Uncas of the Mohicans. It proves unnecessary to go abroad for picturesque distinction. When in quest of titles we can see America first. —_———— A lady in the New Jersey legisla- ture protests against control by a small group of wealthy and influential women, who are referred to as dic- tators. The incident is a striking re- minder of the antiquated and iniqui- tous era when the m: was politically dominant. —_— A great deal of liquor has flowed through bootleg channels since whisky was subject to the strict supervision of pure food laws. Secrecy and Railroad Wrecks. Immediately after the terrible rail- road disaster at Porter, Ind., the Mich- igan Central company held a secret investigation. Nothing is known as to the facts developed. The public in- quest, it is now stated, will not be started until all the identification work has been completed. This will prob- ably entail a delay of a week. The late Edward H. Harriman was originally a believer in the principle of keeping the public in the dark in respect to accidents and physical mis- fortunes. But he changed his mind after some distresstng experiences, and gave orders that whenever a wreck occurred on any one of his railroads an inquiry should immediately be in- stituted and publicly conducted by a board on wh'ch a representative of the public should be named. The re- sult of this policy was to establish pablic confidence, whereas before there was suspicion. Nothing was conceal- ed. If the equipment or the persomnel was at fault the fact was frankly, brought to light. every railroad linc In the country., A virtual board of censors—nothing can | possibly be done under the present police regulation. A compromise proposal has been ad- vanced, to put the exhibitors on pro- bation for three months, requiring them meanwhile to observe the rules of the Pennsylvania state censorship board. The proponents of this plan urge that if no honest attempt is made to observe the restrictions of the state organization a determined move will be made for a local board of review or censprship. ‘The idea of a censorship is naturally repugnant to the people. It is specifi- cally o to the purveyors of motion pic- ture entertainment.

The next House will organize with Mr. Gillett in the chair and Mr. Mon- dell the leader of the majority. Both selections are excellent. Both men have deserved the indorsement re- ceived. Mr. Gillett has demonstrated full qualification for the speakership, and Mr. Mondell full qualification for floor leadership. The east i# recog- nized in the one man, the west in the other.

Should we a message wish to send, Fraught with resemblance kind, First and most important of all come [ A postcard will assistance lend, the question of the tariff and the ques- tion of taxation.

In the next House the republicans will live on Easy street. Maybe a litlte too easy. They will have a majority of three to one. There is danger in the size—danger of factionism and dis- order.

Interesting Discussions. “I understand it's going to be a quiet inauguration.” “It is,” replied Senator Sorghum, “so far as the outdoor demonstrations are concerned, but the indoor work will be just as lively and exciting as usual.” Deference to Public Opinion. “Why should 2 man of your wealth care for money?” “I don't care for it,”” protested Mr. Dustin Stax. “It's the importance that other people attach to it that makes the individual feel it's desir- able to have as much of it as possi- ble.” Perversity.

No unbiased authority remaining to sum up and weigh the preponderance of evidence for the jury's instruction, advantage rests with the wealthy de- fendant, or the representative of or- ganized crime who can command the higher resources of the legal profes- sion and the production of the kind of testimony that confuses. The Ipower to review evidence from the ex- ipert standpoint should be restored to {judges. But the miscarTiages of jus- tice in this direction are matched by miscarriages in the opposite direction. The courts, which often operate with such Jeniency in the case of powerful defendants of obvious guilt operate as disappointingly in the case of poor, friendless defendants of putative in- {nocence who are ignorant of their rights or without means to prevent invasion of their rights. Under the Proctor bill public de- fendants would be required to defend not only criminal cases, but all di- vorce cases in which the defendant fails to enter appearance or whenever ordered by the court to defend.
