This year our summer training camps have been ths best we have had. I know that, for 1 have visited nearly all of them. It has been proved a workable plan. Tt needs now but | | the continued support of Congress | {und the understanding and support of {the people to enter into the per. | | manent national 1ife of America and | assure us always of a reasonable de- | svec of readiness to protect ourselves.” | 1t is an open secret in the Army that Gen. Pershing remained in act service after the war and accepted the post of chief of staff because he saw ahead a service to the flag greater in its constructive possibil- itles, perhaps, than even his war- time service.’ He would not talk much of that personal side of the matter today, but turned back to the great map to point out again what had been done, what there was still to do. “It is the same thing,” Gen. Per- shing said, “that my predecessor as general of the armies, George Wash- ington, visioned and urged on Con- gress more than a bundred years ago. It is the.machinery by which a volun- teer army can be organized in peace times. There is no danger of mili- tarism in it. These reserve officers and their assoclates are centers of patriotic effort and will help America | as_surely as they would help in war. “We are planning for a test mobili- zation, probably a year from now. What I gee ag.I think of that test is a picture of all these reserve offi- cers assembled at their headquarters on that day. A few of them may have to travel ‘a short distange to divi- slons, brigade or regimental head- quarters to which they are assigned. But the company cemmanders of the organized rves would each just tentatively select a building in “the town or village as his headquarters and .stand by ready to proceed with the organization, eguipment and trainmg of his unit. 1f he so elected, he could -Iist. 230 men. in that.com- munity who probably would be avail- able for service, but that would not be npecessary. . . . - “Such a test ‘mobilization would mean merely that at an hour or on a day 'set, the machindry we bave been bullding would be standing ready to réceive the men who would compose the war-time Army. If it were a real mobilization, the men would be coming im, first at their company or platoon headquarters in their home towns, and then through the necessary weeks or months, gath- ering by regiments and brigades and dlvisions to be sent forward to their Dosts along the cost lines or else- where the war N S e o s “The thing that we have been try- ing to do i sy the Ton delay of 1 e deolaration of war and the time when the great cantonments were ready to recelv the 30,000 or 40,000 or more men poured In upon them.

Proposing an International trustee- | ship for the administration for the | proposed nation-wide hypothecation of resources, the chancellor sald the proceeds accruing from the mortgages ' would be paid Lo the trustess, who would include representatives of the reparation creditors. This body would then be uble tv iesus bonds, thus aking it possible for France to r celve large wums of money imme- Qlutely. Wl Give France Cash. “Such guarantees,” he pointed “will give France cash and will me the conditions under which Fran was willing to evecuate the Ruhr.” and added that before these guaran- tees could be obtained “‘Germany must be permitted the right to cd- minister t! Ruhr and recover her sovereignty in the Rhineland.! Herr Stresemann falled to assert directly that Germany was prepar: to stop passive resistance uncondi- tionally. “ He did say that for Ger- many “the question of the sovereignty of the Rbineland and regaining the freedom of the Ruhr territory” was ive, and that for thoge ends she reedy to glve “real guarantees” the property £ Versailles. of the reich property of a state and on private property of | economic organizations as a pledge 1o | the extent of ® certain percenta this property,” contlnued the chan- cellor, “then these martgages could be transferred to a trusteeship as a real negotiable asset. Not Mere Theory. “Surely such an accomplishment is not merely a Dlece of theory or a general guarantee, but copstitutes womething real and free of all vagueness.” The chancellor's speech presented & more precise formulation of the na- ture of the productive uarantees which Germany was prepared to pledge for the security of the repara- tion creditors. These would comprise the hypothecation of private holdings in_industry, commerce, finance and agriculture ‘In such a manner as to insure their immediate fluldity &s ac- collateral. Seen Pledgex Approved. Unless France is bent on anne: Germuny’s pledges, he confen were of such a nature as to meet th iditions under which France once prepured to evacuate the irrupt- ed arcas. He bellevéd that the posi tive guarantees offered by German would Impress Great Britain and Ita with her desire to achieve a solution of the problem and would suggest Lo Belgium their usability as a means of overcoming the deadlock and open- | ing the way to European reconstruc. tion, A solution of the Ruhr dispute could not be achieved solely by con- tinuance of passive resistance; mor could the question be settled by a policy of force. Even Chancellor Cuno. satd Herr Stresemann, had never contended that negotiations could only be undertaken Rfter the eva Fhe object of passiv only and the doing a great ut, L of reich and state ontained in ths treaty “If mortgages in fav t government would by service if it could shorten the.Ruhr dispute as far as possible.

For it we are ready to give real guar- antees. M. Poincare in a recent speech #aid he preferred the: pesitive securi- ties which France had in hand to the finest theoretical rights. He did not irtend to exchange pledges for gen- | eral guarantees, and emphasized | further that the guarantees suggested { belonged tg the mortgages which the treaty of Versailles gave to the allies on the entire possessions of the Reich. “This conception of the French premier 1 must describe as erroneous. According to the Versailles treaty the property of the Reich and individual states is a pledge for Germany's obli gations. What I suggested referred to the direct enlistment of private pro erty, and thus goes beyond the treat This enlistment is also a realizable pledge. while the securities of the Versailles treaty are at present not so. If meortgages in favor of the reich were entered into on property of a state and on private property of econ- omic organizations as a pledge to the extent of a percentage of this property, then these mortgages could be trans- ferred 1o a trusteeship as a real nego- tiable asset. In the adinistration of this trustee- ship the reparation creditors would ac- tively participate. The proceeds aceru- ing from these mortgages would be paid to the trustees, who would then be in & position to issue bonds. Thus France would come into immediate possession | of large sums of money, and the inter- est on these payments would be guar- anteed. Not Merely Theory. “Surely such an accomplishment is in the future in the things of peace {not merely a piece of theary, or general | fic guarantee, but constitutes’ something real and free of all vagueness. Such guarantees will give France cash and will meet the conditions under which France was willing to evacuate the Ruhr. “Before these guarantees can be ob- tained Germany must be permitted the right to administer the Ruhr and re- cover her soverelgnty in the Rhineland. These guarantees are capable of solv- ing the question of passive. resistance, provided we are given assurances that on the basis of such an understand- ing the Ruhr will be evacuated and the Rhineland will be accorded ita-Tormer rights. 1t we are given assurance that every one whose home is in the Rhineland or the Ruhr will be restor- ed to his home, there is no reason why this once prosperous and produc- tive aréashould not regain its former zest for work. 1 trust such a settle- ment will be possible. Industry Willing. “France, through her premier, has repeatedly declared she does not con- template annexation and does not in- tend to remain in the Ruhr. Great Britain certainly concurs in _this attitude. Belglum would undoubt- edly welcome the restoration of normal economic conditions, and we are convinced that Italy shares the same views. The question for us is whether the German economle or- ganism will be able to carry the burden expected of it. .

Visitors to_the Capitol will recall a corner of Statuary Hall where the charge outstanding statesmen from the vari- | ous states are grouped. There, in @ railed-oft sectlon, behind a birds- tye maple desk, is a dapper little man, most affable to ail. Tha “Andy” Smith, who has charge of the Congressional Record und who has been on the job in the Capitol for forty-eight years. For the first halt of that period he had his desk on the Senate side. The first telephone commercially used between government depart ments in Washington was one of the old wall-box variety, and was used by Mr. Smith at the Capitol to com- municate with the government print- ing office. That same instrument is being used by him today—so it has been in continuous service since 1879. Mr. Smith has charge of the Con- gressional Record, of receiving all speeches to be printed in the Record under leave to extend rematks. He receives all orders for the mailing list: He makes corrections in the Record and frequently receives mat- ter from the members for insertion in the Record. He receives all pri- vate orders for extra prints of bills and documents and for speeches, the cost of which is estimated and paid for. He receives all orders for frank Blips (which pasted on mail matter makes it postage free) and for e yelopes in which documents are sent out. y Takes in Huge Sum. . Smith takes in every year about 2 e e as much as $75. 'or speeches Wat the members want printed. He estimates that 55,000,000 speeches have been printed In a presidential i ear.

James Nally who was also f ed by long-time fellow employes at the celebration in Harding Hall to- day retired after fifty vears' service in the government printing. office, having been appointed in 1873. Mr. Nally is still in_good health and remarkably active for his vears. He states that while he graciously bows to the law of the government under which he has served so long, |yet he feels he would be quite equal to his duties for many years to come, and having been an athlete in his day is willing to meet all comers of his age at walking or dancing, both of_which he still enjoys. Mr. Nally has always been held in high esteem by his superiors and has been frequently commended om his record for punctuality and fidelity to_his work He a native of Washington, hav- ing been born in Georgetown and educated in_the public schools of .the city. He has made his home for many years with daughter, Mrs. Eva M. Grill, at 27 R street northeast. His retirement was made an event by his fellow-workers, who as- sembled in Harding Hall and present- ed him with a token of their good will and kindly regard.

Motorists Back “One-Way.” “Motorists, the city over,” he con- cluded, “have found it much easier to get to and from the business section; they find that driving has been made immeasurably easier with fewer de- lays, and those I have talked to have come out forcibly for the one-way street. The whole thing is, of course, still in the experimental stage, but ffom the way things are shaping up the one-way street idea as a whole should be ietained.” The questionnaire mailed by the ‘Merchonts and Manufacturers is as follows: Do you believe that public welfare is best served by one-way streets in the downtown section of Washing- ton? Are you in favor of one-way streets in_the downtown section? Have one-way streets congested or improved trafic? o What effect have one-way streets had on your business?
