The proposal of - Representative Linthicum of- Maryland. that the United States acquire land on both sides of the Potomac at Great Falls for the purpose of guarding against pollution of the water supply and es- tablishing a national park,is one in favor Oof which a great many things can be said, and against which no rea- sonable objection can be raised except the question of cost. And as the cost would be small, compared with the henefits, that objection ought not to be raised.. = The protection of the water supply source from dangers incident to in- crease of population on the watershed is a,most important matter. The ‘keep- ing of that scenic section as a national vark is something which thousands of people who know the region have had ir mind for many years, and which has been proposed end favored in a formal way many times. This “fall ling" where the river has broken through a barrier of rock hills and ridges in its descent from the Piedmont plateau to the coastal plain is a region of scenic and geologic wonders, and it cught to be preserved. Not only ought the territory at and above the falls to be taken over. for the perpetual pleasure and instruction of the public, but the land on both €ides of the gorge and the wonderland through which Difficult run. Prospect, Bull Neck and Scotts runs flow shoyld also be taken over. * If such a thing could be, and it might be. the hills, ravines and gorges on the Virginia side from Great Falls to Little Falls, and between the river and 'the Georgetown-Leesburg pike, should be made a national park. The cost of such am undertaking would not be great. Much of the section is useless for. agriculture, and its prin- cipal expectant value is that it will be bought as sites for homes by persons ‘who desire romantic situations: which are both close toand yet remote from the city. One of the prospects is that this land will be bought by rich men and inclosed as private parks. The as- sessed valuation of the land ‘is still low, but its prospective value is high, and if it is to be taken over for the public benefit this should be done now or in the near future. Calvert Street Bridge. An appropriation of $26,000 for “re- pairs and improvements” to the Cal- vert Street bridge stands in the report on the second deficiency bill as agreed to by conferees of the House and Sen- ate and adopted by the Senate. The amount is far below that needed for a new and substantial bridge. What “re- pairs and improvements” are contem- plated are not mentioned in'the news, but it has been understood that the bridge is to be given a' coat of paint and a new floor. Perhaps these repairs | and improvements will help the situa- tion. The sengible remedy for a bridge whose vibratlon is . excessive, over which speeds and loads are carefully regulated by law, if not always fol- lowed. in practice, about which the public is suspicious and the engineers are not quite sure, is a new bridge. It has been the practice of Congress to tinker with out-of-date bridges until the tinkering .'can be carried no further. It may be that aggregate cost of all the tinkering would have built bridges needing no tinkering. One can recall that repairs, replace- ment of spans, rebuilding of trusses and the like were carried on in the case of the Long bridge for about a hundred years before the present Highway bridge was built. In the mat. ter of the Aqueduct bridge the work of underpinning pilers, etc., went on at frequent intervals from the time the government converted the structure from a toll to a free bridge, and prob- ably some repeirs and improvements to this-bridge will continye to be made. until the Key bridge ‘is opened: for traffic. This has also baen the story in the cases ¢f the Anacostia and Ben- ning bridges. ! 7 i ; A glance'at the weather records will show that April, though the subject of much poetical compliment, knows how td make herse]f sufficlently dis- mgreeable to render & coal strike a ————————n Diplomacy ia endeavoring at present to convince the world that it is pos- sible to have & peaceable understand- ing that 1s not necessarily a foreign entanglement. —_—— et : The Treaty Prospects, - Rejection of the Robinfon amend- ment to the four-power paét by the Benate yesterday is construed by.the supporters of the treaty as encourag- ing expectation of & twochirds vote for final ratificstibn. Two considera; tions warrant this view—first, that the vote disclcsed the apparent maximum of gpposition on the republican side to be y confined to Senators Borah, Johnson, La Follette and France, and the fact that several democrats who voted for the reservation will in the end vote for ratification. Tle outcome ‘will largely depénd, it s said, upon the attendance of all friends of the treaty —some of whom are ill and absent ‘without .pairs—when the final voté taken, the prospective margin for ratification being admittedly close. But that ‘margin now' visualized may. broaden upon’ second thought of senators and when. they face the el ternative .of - ratifying this treaty or contribatirig by their negative vots to demolishing the. great . constructive work. of’ the Washington conference, now approved by all the world and overwhelmingly indorsed by the peo- ple of the United States. Senator Lenroot, in his defense of the treaty in the Senate yesterda: pointed out the danger of defeat ‘of this treaty imperiling tite ' other treaties, “even the naval .}imitation pact, and.said the President would be Justified in withdrawing them if he Ead geason to believe that.by rejection - of the four-powen pact some of the other parties to the conference would ewn . oty | reject other treaties. | It was cleatly Indicated in spéeches " | ot world statesmen in the: confereace that the treaties were interlocking and Interdependerit, to a vital degree. This 70c | fact is well known to the’ public, and the heart of the public Is set upon the full fruition:of the work of the confe ence. It is known, for instance, that the extipguishment of the Anglo-Japa- nese alllance is dependent upon’ rati- fication of the four-power pact. It.is also known that if the alliance sur- vives the United States would tie its 'own hands in the naval limitation agreement. . The people want that alliance ended, and they want competition in naval construction and armament checked and averted. In recognition of this public demand senators may, upon re- flection, taking the whole situation hy and large, broaden the now narrow margin of support for the four-power pact. H ————te—— “The Public Is Interested.” From Flerida comes admonition by the Attorney General of the United States to the coal operators and miners, parties to a. deadlock which; threatens cessation -of soft coal pro- duction by organized union labor, that the consuming public is also a party to the dispute, and that it devolves upon the government to protect the public. *“The public is interested.” says Attorney General = Daugherty, ~and its rights must be protected by the government, as I think they will be in so far 2s may be possible.” Encouraging words, albeit the quali- fication “in_so far as may be possible” raises a question of what the govern- ment ‘can actually do to protect the public. The government has been do- ing all it could to bring the operators and miners into conference, but up to this time its voice of appeal has been as that of one crying in the wilder- ness, as the operators have been; obdurate in resistance. April 1 is but a fortnight away, and if by that time a mew agPeement is not entered into, the union miners will stop work. The latést estimate-is that 450,000 men in the central competitive field, western Pennsylvania, Ohio, ‘Indiana’ and 1I- linois will cease production. But that is not all. It falls out that the agreement between employers and employes in the hard coal flelds also expires at the eame time, and there is disposition to await settlement of the controversy in the soft coal flelds be- fore. renewing the agreement, which would entail idleness, stopping of pro- duction and loss of pay in the anthra- cite region. y John L. Lewis, president of the TUnited Mine Workers, continues to turn the searchlight of attention upon the refusal of the operators to meet in joint conference for the central com- petitive.field, and ingists that hig fo)- lowers are ready at'any time to go into joint conference. He says that they are united In demanding a joint conference, except in Illinois, where they are willing to settle through a state conference. It s evident, of course, that the cutting off of the wages of 80 many hundred thousand men in the soft and hard coal fields will ‘be a calamity” that will affect many lines of industry and commerce and bring suffering upon the innocent. There is the added danger of the strike spreading to gllied industries. Attorney General Daugherty and Secretary of Labor Davis will have the sympathy of the public in efforts to find ways to protect the rights of the | public in this coming epochal contest. ——————————— “Among” and “Between.” The use of the word “betweén’ un- der certain.condition® involving a ref- erence to more than tko objects is by no means without sanction. The dis tinguished student of languages Wil- liam Dwight Whitney, who was pro- fessor of philology at Yale University, is made responsible,” as editor of an edition of the Century Dictlonary, for the following annotation: “Between” is literally applicable only to two objects; but it may be,and commonly is used.of more than two vwhen they are spoken of distributive- 1y, or so that they can be thought of as divided into two parts or cate- gories, or with reference to the action or being of each individually, as com pared with that of any other, or a the-others. When more than two o jects are spoken of collectively or in- "divisibly, “among” is the prdper word. A -stmilar usage of “between” .in Article II of the league of nations and in"{he treaty now under senatoriul consideration is evidently designed to apply to a possible ‘division which ‘would leave one nation- epposed to an- other nation or to & group. of nations; in distinction from the idea of collec- tiveness or indivisibility. Viewed in this light, the form of expression is to be regarded not as & looss’ or faulty construction, but as an effort toward refinement 6f accuracy such as would be expected only from a close and dis- criminating student of the most re- sponsible forms of documentary ex- —————t———— A model city will no doubt be built in the course of time which will pro- vide, ‘with -other modern - conven- iences, sufficient space for the parking of automobiles. ———b e Skyscrapers have been increasing in western cities, but prudence still requires the construction of cyclone cellars.’ - ° € > 2o Congress and the National Defense. An advocate of an adequate Army, and unable, therefore, to sympathize with the policy apparent on_Capitol Hill of reducing-the Army’s strength, Gen. Pershing says:’ v by “But - whatever Congréss may see fit to grant, the - will, as it e has, apply itself.to giving the nation uch national defense as it can. It i1l _not quit,; no matter -how badly crippled.” e This is the spirit that has won praise for the American; soldier ‘witerever known. He always does his best. Man or officer} he serves with all the sand { and strength he , even under the most disceuraging icircumstances. The ‘same may be said of ‘the Navy. Even during the long years when the naval service was all ‘but starved; when appeals to Congress for an ade- quate Navy of the latest equipment Ifell upon deaf ‘ears; arid the utmost effort was necessary 10 obtain any- thing, the officers and men afloat car- ried themselves with fine realization’ of their duty to the country, and gave it the best that was in them. Thia should, but apparently does not, make a®profound impression on Con- gress. The Army and Nav$ are en- {titled to the full benefit'of their rec- ord. Both should be supported gen- erously. When their services are need- ed, prompt and effective responses are expected, and no excuses are allowed. The man, in Congress or out, who 1s figuring on dispensing with these ‘services in the near or distant future owes it to himself and. the country to take a second thought and recast his figsures. The soldier and the sailor we |, shall long have with us; and while we have them we should treat them with a consideration in keeping with the duties we impose upon them. e Miss Representative Robertson of Okla. homa wants e second, term, end faces vigorous opposition. The story is told in a special to The Star from Musko- gee, published yesterday. Miss Robertson had-not been a suf- fragist. and did not .care for ®office when two years ago she was proposed i for Congress. She yielded to the solici- tation of party friends. The race was very close. Her majority was only 200. In office she has grown to like poli- tics, and now purposes to remain in the game if' possible She has shown courage in Congre has voted not as a woman but as a citizen. She is opposed, she frankly de- clares, to sex in politics. As she ex- plains, she was elected to Congress, not as a woman but as a citizen, to represent all the people of the district. Courage in politics is much. It is not as rare as popularly charged, but a quality deserving of recognition and reward whepever intelligently shown. 1t does not mean disorder in organiza- tion work. Miss Rankin, the pioneer Woman legislator on Capitol Hill, had but one term. She played for promotion to the Senate on the strength of a good rec- ord made in the House, but lost. If, therefore, Miss Robertson, with an , equally good record in the House. ) should lose in her effort to remain there, & sort of chill would be felt in circles desirous of seeing womefl play a part in public affairs commensurate with their number and the opportuni- ties for service attending their enfran- chisement. —_————————— An attack has been launched by a New York theatrical manager against producers of indecent plays.

The record of tie cadets themselves is & fact that argues most eloquently for the influence of & training that has been tested by time, by educa- tional experience and, most ‘severely, by the events of the past few years. In fact, every high school in proud of the gold stars on its servite flag and of the untarnished record: of its cadets in both military and civil life. g ok w % 3 What does cadet training do for a boy? \ It gives him an opportunity to serve his school vhile doing some- thing for himself. It takes grit, loy- alty and “determination to. foliow through the work from October to the annual competitive drill, which i held. either the latter part of May or early In June. » It also provides for very important training for efficient citizenship. Cadet Corps arc being trained to work in co-operation and unison with their follows. They are recelving impor- tant training in observing and re- specting the authority of the officers over them. They are belng taught the importance of working together for the common good of the company. No other feature of high school educ: tion #o specifically provides thix training. The large measure of Initiative and responsibility which is thrown upon the company officer and individual cadots is the most Important factor In the development of the esprit de corps which pervades the organiza- tion—at the same time the most im- portant factor in education. Herein lies the success of & movement which been felt and appreclated " for rs throughout the city, but which, Derhaps, has not always been an- alyzed. 3 * ok ok ok The success and growth of the cadet corps from two companies_ of fifty boys each in 1882 to three regi- meénts of twent; ix companies is the most conclusive evidence that there is in this training something worth while. Tt was in the fall of 182 when tae cadet corps was formally organized, and the spring of the fol- iowing year when the soldler suldenlsl made their initial public appearance. Considering the military side of the cadet corps, it 48 noted that new methods of drill and innovations have been introduced in yirtually = every year of the history of the body. At the present time the cadets are being instructed along lines laid down by the War Department for. military training features of units operating under section 55¢ of the national de- fense act, as amenced.
