President Harding, addressing vet- eran members of a famous combat division in Atlantic City yesterday aft- ernoon, spoke frankly and to the point on the subject of the soldier bonus. Having told his audience that for thé man who came back from the service of his country wounded and impaired in ability to carry on the vocation of his life he proposes to obtain “the fullest aid in our power to give,” he did not hesitate to proceed: “I am not so much concerned with those who came out of the war unimpaired,” he said. “They have the compensation of supreme service and experience.” With the presidential “estimate of the situation” and *‘plan of action,” to use military parlance, the country as a whole is in hearty accord. Agitation for the “soldier bonus,” Whether under that name or under some less candid alias, has been from the first a political maneuver. The theory that service in the defense of the United States called for a cash payment to all who volunteered or . were called to that service having been - proven to be an unpopular one, not only with the general public but with the veterans themselves, a none too subtle attempt was made to transform the basis of the payment sought from | that of a “gift” to that of “adjusted compensation.” The maneuver was { not a success. Populer opinion de- clined to be beguiled, and, in the light of that fact and of the national in- ' sistence that the expenses of govern- ment be decreased rather than aug- | mented, the bonus bill failed of passage at the last session of Congress. The veteran who believes that there exists today, or ever has existed, any considerable popular yearning to ex- | press, in terms of dollars and cents, the nation's gratitude toward her un- : scathed defenders insults himself, his brothers-inarms and the public. What America owes to the sons who fought for her is as what the mother of each | individual Yank owes to her son. To ' suggest the cancellation of the former ( debt through a cash payment is no ! less preposterous than to suggest such ' a course in the latter instance. President Harding, looking into the i faces of the veterans at Atlantic City, { had no misgivings as to the spirit in ' which his words would be accepted. , For the average American veteran of 1 the world war, his political spokesmen to the contrary notwithstanding, ask- ) ing with justice help for his incapaci- { tated buddy, today seeks nothing for ! himself than that which is already his in fullness. A Bold Hold-Up. ‘Washington's highwaymen are get- ting very daring. They pulled off a ltflck last night in the heart of the | downtown section, under bright lights, in view of many people, knocking down )a man and taking away a valuable | jewel, then escaping in a motor car. They had evidently spotted their vic. ) tim and lain in wait for him. The ,crime was not unusual in terms of { some of the other cities, but it was a { bit barefaced and bold for Washington. ; Does this argue that in the Jjudgment of the bandits the local police are in- competent? Prompt arrests in this par- ticular case would tend to disabuse them of such a notion. ] The capital suffered a good deal from highwaymanry after the war rush began, but it has settled down to comparative peace and quiet, and it is unpleasant to think that the foot- pads and the motor crooks think the way is open again for street work. This affair of last night took place, as stated, within sight of a large number of people. It would appear that the presence of spectators-does not deter ‘hold-up men from working their game. They rely upon their speed of action and the use of a machine to get away with the goods without intervention. But it would be a very bold bystander who would intervene in such a situa- tion. The average person seeing a hold-up would instinctively reason that( the aggressors were armed, and realize that the course of safety lay in an op- posite. direction from the scene of the crime. No one is to be blamed for standing by and watching inactively. The surest safeguard against being robbed is to avoid having anything worth taking. His wage award would indicate an impression in the mind of Judge Landis that labor has had its inning. : An Unsafe Bridge. “The bridge had been condemned three times.” This sentence occurs in the story of the disaster at Chester, Pa., in which the collapse of & bridge across a river caused the death of twenty-four persons. Examination of the structure afterward showed that a certain plate had been nearly eaten through by rust, and that its breaking ,under the severe strain of a sudden concentration of about 100 people, rushing on the bridge to watch the dragging of the stream for a drowned boy, caused the collapse of the struc- ture. So often is this the case that officlal ‘warning is merely given and no action is had for real prevention that the Chester disaster may” be regarded as typical in this country. A bridge is condemned as unsafe, and yet is al- lowed to remain in use. It is known that any sudden strain will cause it to break, but nothing is done. Old buildings are permitted to be used for assemblages, and then a break comes and people are killed. It seems to re- quire a catastrophe to bring about corrective works. There is in Washington a bridge that has been several times put under suspicion. A footway overhanging the main structure was some years ago re- moved and the entire roadway nar- irowed. Street cars cross it frequently. It is open for vehicular traffic, and so B | narrow is the space that motors and carriages must be driven upon the tracks. Engineers know that this bridge is only “safe” ‘when used with the greatest care with vehicles at slow speed and with no concentration of traffic. But nobody knows, engineers or others, when a day will come marked by a sudden rush of people to the bridge, as in Chester, to watch some occurrence in the ravine below, with a resultant collapse. This matter has not been wholly neglected. It has been laid before Con- gress with recommendations for appro- priations for a new bridge. But with the narrowing of the roadway it has been made “eafer,” and is regarded as good enough to serve for a time. Nothing is good enough that is not dependable in all circumstances. The Calvert Street bridge should be in- spected at once, and if not capable of standing a strain such as may be put upon it at any time by a resistless con- centration of people such as that at Chester it should be not merely “con- demned,” but closed to public use, re- gardless of the inconvenience caused. Better inconvenience for a time than the death of people. The Personnel of the Conference. This is from Paris: Premier Briand today reiterated positively his previous declaration that he would attend the Washington conference on far eastern questions and limitation of armaments. He de- clared his plans had not been changed and he did not anticipate any reason that would prevent him from going to the conference. M. Briand's declara- tion was prompted by rumors from Geneva that he would not go to Wash- ington. President Harding by his appoint- ments has indicated the grade of men who should sit in the conference. Hughes, Root, Lodge and Underwood are of our best. Three are in high of- fice, and the fourth has held high of- fice. All four have figured in specula- tion about the presidency, and one has been his party’s nominee for the office. Surely the invited nations will guide by this in their appointments, and send of their best. It is going to be an important meeting, and men of importance are the proper ones to attend. The Presi- dent has made it plain that no talkfest about the millennium is on the card. What will be presentel for considera- tion are practical questions admitting of practical solutions. The world is hard up as a result of the world war, and the nations—even the greatest— must retrench if general bankruptcy is to be avoided. This is business for men familiar with public affairs, and with reputa- tions achieved in the fleld of large endeavors. No nation is to be asked to scrap its fighting establishment on either land or sea, but all are to be asked to consider future expenditures in that line in the light of a necessary recovery from the enormous outlays of recent years. War and Peace. Addressing veterans of the world war gathered at Atlantic City, Presi- dent Harding reminded them of the problems that now face the country, and asked for their aid in solving them. It is the duty of everybody to help, and unless this duty is recognized and discharged, our situation, instead of im- proving, may grow worse. We are just getting a line on the size and number of those problems. They had only been guessed at when this Congress assembled. They have now been fairly well measured; and there is no man in national cqnmis- sion, either as executive or legislator, who does not appreciate the necessity of teamwork, and a good deal of it. ‘While grave, the situation is not ap- palling. The country bas been in other storms, and weathered them. It will weather this one, though, with one exception, it is the stiffest it has ever encountered. There were dark days in 1864, when it looked as if the nation would go under. But they proved to be forerunners of bright days. A few months later the sky cleared and hostilities ceased. The soldiers of that day—the men who had saved the Union—rendered great service when peace was restored. Again in their “civies,” they did all in their power to promote good feeling and restore confidence, and in no long time everything was functioning again satisfactorily. The men of this day Wwho served overseas and are again in their “civies” are no less patriotic, and have only to bestir themselves to make a profound impression, on the efforts to restore the country to normaley.

An Atlanta dispatch says: An appeal against mob law was is- sued here tonight by a committee ‘of more than a score of prominent Georgia women who are members of the Georgla state committee on inter- racial co-operation. The special com- mittee, headed by Mrs. A. W. Lawton of Savan adopted resolutions stat- ing that while they appreciate the chivalry of men who will give their lives for the purity and safety of women, “yet we feel constrained to declare our convictions concerning the methods sometimes employed in this supposed protection.” The resolutions S0 urg! that the public “speedily ‘banish self-constituted groups and agencies which presume to set the dignity of the law and constltute themselves the prosecutors, jurors, judges and executioners of suspected criminals.” This is a most sensible and worthy deliverance, and should find en echo|] everywhere. The laws provide extreme punish- ment for the crime against wonien, and there is never the slightest danger of the escape of an accused person proved guilty. He is certain to expiate his offense according to the law apply- ing to it. Officers of the law are chosen at the polls, after campaigns bringing all candidates into the limelight. The people are thus made acquainted with those to whom they must look for pro- tection. The thing to do, therffore, when crimes multiply and crimimals grow bold is not to organize ‘‘groups and agencies” outside the law, but take in hand officials who neglect or are in- different about their duties. Put such officials out, and put better men in their places. Lawlessness begets lawlessness. Lynchers sow the seeds of anarchy; and in recent years they have been THE EVENING STAR, WASHINGTON, ‘When you buy a Loose- Leaf Note-Book, look for the National trademark.

Alexandria has been the scene of a number of costly fires in the course of a few years, but its experience Sat- urday night was perhaps the worst it has ever suffered in respect to the number going at once. Three serious blazes were going simultaneously, taxing the local fire department to the utmost and requiring aid from Wash- ington. That the fires were well han- dled is to the great credit of the Alex- andria fire department. Even the dis- carded old steamers were brought out and hauled by hand in the style of many years ago, and they did good work at the critical time. Suspicion of incendiarism has been expressed. The fires were certainly suggestively close together, in point of time, and so located as to tax the fire department apparently beyond its powers of resistance. It is hard to con- ceive a motive for such a crime. The hope is that light will be thrown upon {this, and if arson has been committed !tmt the incendiaries, assuming more ve than one, will be caught and pun- ished. Had a high wind been blowing Saturday night, save straight out into the river, Alexandria could not have been saved from a most disastrous con- flagration with probable loss of life. The citizens have manifested a plucky and determined spirit, and are not dis- couraged by this latest visitation. ————————— The President of the United States is very kely to be the leader of his party, the natural inclination of a party being to select its most prom- = DON'T WAIT UNTIL Winter sets make in. mme This pre nts clinkering.
