The rights of this case, though perhaps not'enforceable, seem to have been with the railroad com- pany. When the government agrees to pay rent, it ought to pay it. Tt should have paid its rent on time and have made arrangements for the fu- ture occupancy of the land if it meant to occupy it. The railroad company has shown the gentle quality of mercy. It knows that sooner or later Uncle Sam will pay up. The railroad representatives know how it is with the government. It often gets things up. It has been sald that while operating the rallroads it got things tangled up. But if you give it time it will untangle itself and come across with the pay gheck. ——————— Cost of Rhine Army. Officiais of the American govern-' ment are unperturbed by reports from Paris that the allied governments are inclined to challenge this country's claims on account of the Rhineland occupation, The Paris report is that the allies believe the United States should look directly to Germany for payment and should not expect to re- chool athlet ntests | is ot %. of couise. | g the physi order that a | . and if | ¥ such | contests But abolished the have too high 4 merely the of more difficult corrective n i ining of many in fow be highly » other w develo hrei reme a ool Wi 1ed. such mere ren o e that to apply.

Under the treaty of Versailles the cost of the Rhineland occupation was made a first charge against Germany, taking precedence over all claims for reparations. It was at the urgent in- tence of the allies that an American army was left on the Rhine,and there never was any thought that the cost of maintaining it there was not on the same footing as the cost ntaining British, French and Belgian armies. The only difference | that these countries were ir urgent need of veady cash, while the | United States was not, so it was per- | mitted without protest on our part that as Germany made cash payments | the money was divided among the al- | lies, the United States beinz willing | to wait a while for what was justly The tota) assessment against so far on uccount of the costs of aecupation is about three and a haif billion gold marks. of which amount approximately one billion gol marks is due the United States.

The government hotels on Union Station plaza are to stand and there 1s to be no eviction of tenarits because a part of the hotel plant stands on land owned by the Baltimore and Ohio raflroad, for which the government is in arrears of rent. The resolution au- thorlzing the President to pay the back rent and make terms for the con- tinued occupancy of the land failed of passage by being crowded out in the closing jam of Congress.

Some plain folk call him the crow blackbird, and there are men in ‘Washington who can speak of him without hesitation and without stut- tering as Quiscalus quiscula or Quis- |- calus purpureus, but those great men are rare. Most of us have learned to address him as “the grackle,” and it is said that his name is derived from the principal words in his speech, which men have translated as “gra- gra.” However, like many other facts, that may not be one. In the so-called old world this bird, or 8 near relation closely resembling him, is called jack- daw. He is @ member of the large and well known family of crow, and main- tains closer and’ more amicable rela~ tions with men than the common— the very common—crow. There are a number of {nteresting things about the grackle, and one of these is that he THE EVENING STAR, WASHINGION, D.

No superheated enemy of sparrows can claim that the little vultures have driven off the grackle. A grackle will 'strut into a | flock of sparrows and take the bread out of their mouths. So far as re corded the grackle has never cut much of a figure as a harbinger of spring, but as a harbinger he is fust as re- liable as the robin or the first hepatica. He has been known to reach Wash- ington in the middle of February, and is nearly always here when March comes in. He braves and endures some of our most wintry weather, but when he comes one must know that fair and lovely soring is nearing the city gates. —————————— Chief Kreamer's Retirement. When & man serves in the fire de- partment for thirty-three yvears, rises from private to battalion chief and re- tires at the age of sixty-seven the pub- lic reads the news with interest and sends out to the retiring veteran its kindest thoughts and its best wishes. Thus it was in the case of Charles Kreamer, who was retired a week or two ago from the fire department after long and faithful service. Look back acry the vears and think of the fires, greatand semall, to which this man hae ;und of the ala and roused him at any night and in any kind ‘Think of the tragedies and dis. asters that have come under this man's eyes.

He and Gen, Smuts were Rritain's rep- resentatives on the commission which formulated the covenant and were in closest collaboration with Mr. Wilson and Col. House on that body. The third son of the late marquls of Salis- sbury, Queen Victoria’s last prime min- ister and foreign secretary, Lord Robert inherited his father's political genius. So did another brother, Lord Hugh Cecil. Both have long been members of the house of commons. An elder hrother, formerly Lord Wil- ilum Gascovne cil, entered the clergy and ix now Bishop of Exeter.
