The best that can be done is to send the planes high enough to be out of range of possible ship fioe and to try their capacity for target-hitting under the assumption that they must not get 'within that range. The New Immigration Law. Some hardships are attending the enforcement of the new immigration law. They were to be expected, and are to be lamented. They shauld be goftened whenever possible. In this, as in all cases, the spirit is more than the letter, and the letter should not be permitted to kill the spirit. In the new enactment Congress was dealing with a condition, well under- stood, and that required immediate at- tention. The war had increased rest- lessness abroad and unemployment here at home. The restless and the Times (republican) champions Repre- sentative Portér's measure, which, it} belleves, is “a more sincere effort to remove the technical state of war" than Senator Knox’s. “If the Knox resolution would be a repudiation of the war,” says the Springtield Repub- lican (independent), without further committing itselt, “then the action of the lower house may be taken as & search for the minimum action that could offer any promisc of peace. One merit in the revolution the Chi- cago Post (indeptndent) suggests 1s the fact that having passed the reso- lutlon “the legislative branch” of the government is removed from “our in- ternational negotiations” by the “mogt harmiess and humane route practical.” That the method is “harmless” the New York Post (independent) agrees, with the adverb “now.” There was a time when it might have been “mis- chievous,” the Post points out, for “hud a separate peacé resolution been enacted before “our representatives were ordered to Ko into the supréme council, the council of ambassadors and the reparations commission, there | would have been trouble. .Germany. with her unhappy gift for misunder- standing things, would have misun- derstood our motives and our posi- tion.” The resolution “settles nothing,” the Indianapolis News (independent) de- clares, for “before {here can be peace > Finest Cloth Siiits —that have $%een mumbered in our stock this season—about 100 of them will be reduced and placed-on special sale tomorrow—at ) proval. unemployed of Europe were seeking | here must be a treaty.” This thought a8 the disappearance of the Cyclope. ¢ 5 “ p is, gchoed by the Atlanta Journal Mr. Dawes combines financial and relief by “dumping”’ themselves on (GQQCO"."” Y nd the Hurtford Times government experience. controller of the curren: in which office he was distinctly successful.

The books are closed, classrooms locked, the pupils begin their vacations, some of them working, others simply play- ing. The teachers, after a few days| ‘ot clean-up routine, will goabout their own recreational or educational sum- mer pursuits. The administrative forces will begin preparations for next year. I A brighter prospect is ahead for the #chools than for some time past. Their nmeeds have been recognized in Con- gress and a liberal appropriation has been made for additional buildings. } The teacher salary scale, though not yet as liberal as it should be, is far better than“ft was a few years ago. Re- tirement has been gained. The lon- gevity pay system has been firmly established. Yet the status of the { teachers is not vet satistactory. Too ! .much work is put upon taem, owing to the congestion in the schools. It is to be hoped that in the course of three or four years, as a result of new con- structione 'and additions to the teach- ing force, the size of the classes will be reduced, with a resultant improve- ment in the work done in classrooms. ‘Washington's school system has suf- -fered in the past from a& series of “shocks and congestions and adminis- trative turmoils. Just now tranquillity prevails in the executive organization. The vacation begins auspiciously for & placid, prosperous season. If the present conditions can be eontinued, .and if the advances in eqfiipment are maintained the school system of the eapital will regain its place as one of the most effective and progressive in the United States. ————e————— German financiers are willing to pay indemnity if arrangernents can be made which will insure commercial prosperity to an extent that will make it profitable to keep the change. ——— Secretary Denby may want to hear Admiral 8ims repeat his speech ver- batim.

The funda- mental significance of the payment re- mains the same. It is a consciousness of that significance which places a majority of the thoughtful men who wore the uniform in strong opposition td the bonus in any shape or form. ‘To those men, in contradiction to the comparative few who originated the bonus demand and who have since been seconded by thoee who ‘“‘Want theirs, if there i» anything good going around,” it would seem that service of the nation in time of war is & duty of citizenship, and that to measure that i service in terms of money would dis- grace patriotism and degrade Ameri- can citizenship.

Nothing logical can be said in_favor of it. As the United States Chamber of Commerce points out, the first duty of the coun- try is to recompense and rehabilitate the veterans who suffered physical or injury during service. This first obligation is being neglected even as matters stand, and if a cash bonus is allowed to sweep the Treas- ury clean it may never be properly met. It is obvious, to follow still further the brief of the chamber of commerce, that the United States is in no posi- tion to afford another two and a half billions in expenditure which is both ur,neeesury and anything but con- stfuctive.
