Beneath a solid, simple mass of granite at Arlington lies the body of a man who fell in the ranks of the American forces in France duering the great war. Upon that tomb are placed from timo to time wreaths and other symbols of mourning for a life that was given in a nation's cause. The identity of the man is not known. This body was taken from its resting vlace in France and brought here to typify the patriotism of the soldiers of America. Souvenirs of the esteem in which the American soldiery is held France, in Englend, in Italy, in Bel- gium and in other lands are preserved in the lobby of the ampitheater, close Lehind the tomb of the Unknown. They were laid upon that last resting place Dby representatives of those other governments. Medals, crosses «nd other decorations of the highest order of honor are preserved in a case, bestowed upon this nameless man by governments and rulers. These symbols bespeak the grati- de felt by the people of all the coun- in| tions as suMclent and final, and has proceeded in accordance with the treaty as an accomplished and estab- lished international principle. The question arises whether the court can g0 behind this fact. On the point of good faith there may be ground for judicial examina- tion and determination, although in that again the court may hold that it is for the executive and the legis- lative branches of the Government to safeguard the United States against violations of omission or commission of an international agreement. No citizen is barred from challeng- ing either acts of Congress or treaties on the ground of an invasion of rights or a menace to public security, which is the security of the individual. The courts must heed such pleas and determine them upon their merits, provided the period of test and pro- test has not lapsed. The question arises in this present case whether that period has passed. The arms- limitation treaty has been in effect for months, and the United States has already destroyed a number of ships, 'some new and some old, to reduce its naval armament to the ratio point. If |the treaty was not validly ratified that fact should have been evident and established before action was taken in its execution by the United States, In that event the court might not deem the present protest as war- ranted and entitled to a hearing. If, on the other hand, it has not been faithfully executed by other govern- ments that fact may be of such late development as to justify the present plea and entitle the citizen plaintiff to protest. Questions of law, of fact and of in ternational relationship are thus in- volved in this case, which appears to have been seriously presented, and | will probably be pressed to thé point | ! of decision by the highest court. Income Tax Publicity. An effort is to be made, it is under- | stood, to secure at the next session | of Congress a repeal of the act which | requires the opening to public inspec- tion of income tax payments. The ad- ministration is desirous, at least, of | obtaining from Congress a definition of the purpose and scope of the law. which at present is vague owing to overlapping provisions, As it i now THE i It means the return of confidence in the stability of affairs, the passing of a menace felt by the people .n the course of the campaign and the res- “toration of full health to the economic body of the country. ——t——————— Senate Veterans. In the death of Mr. Lodge the Sen- ate loses its dean. He was the oldest Senator in point of continuous serv- ice, having taken his seat in that body on the 4th of March, 1893. In respect to actual service in the Senate, how- ever, Mr. Warren of Wyoming holds the record. He first entered the Sen- ate Docember T, 1890, or nearly 34 years ago, His service was interrupt- ed, for his first term expired March 3, 1893, just when Senator Lodge was taking his seat, and he returned two vears later, or March 4, 1895. Thus Mr. Warren's actual service in the Senate exceeds that of Mr. Lodge by a little more than three months. Sena- tor Warren now becomes the dean of the upper house by virtue of both vears of service and of age, being now in his 8ist year. A considera- ble gap occurs between him and the next oldest in service, Furnifold M. Simmons of North Carolina, who took his seat on the 4th of March, 1901, or 24 years ago next March. Senator Simmons’ colleague, Mr. Overman, and Senator Reed of Utah are tied for third place in seniority, their terms dating from March 4, 1903. Then comes Senator La Follette, with two vears less of service, and close to a tie with him stood the late Senator Brandegee, who entered the Senate May 10, 1905. Eighteen Senators, or nearly 20 per cent of the body, entered the Senate on the 4th of March, 1923, or subse- | quently. Fifty-three of them, or more | than half, are now serving their first terms. Some of these have been re- elected. One of the older members of the Senate in terms of service leaves the roll at the close of the next ses- sion, Robert L. Owen of Oklahoma. Since the direct election of Senators was established by constitutional amendment there have been more frequent changes in the personnel of the upper house. The average of sena- torial terms has decreased. Doubtless the average of age has likewise been | Lodge | lowered.

HASKIN. BY GUS 4 A marriage license costs $1. A license to operate an automobile $2. It may be that the difference in price is due to the fact that the author- ities consider running an automobile more of a hazardous undertaking than running a wife and household. The sectlons of the traffic regula- tions relating to permits read as follows: “Any person desiring a permit to operate motor vehicles shall make application to the Traffic Bureau of the Police Department on the pre- ribod form: Provided, that no per- mit shall be issued to operate any of the above mentioned vehicles to any person whose physical defects, such as blindness, deafness or other | disabllities, would make the opera- { tion of a motor vehicle by such per- son a menace to the public safety. “The officer in charge of the Traffic Bureau of the Metropolitan Police De- partment shall cause all applicants to be examined as to their knowledge of the traffic regulations of the District of Columbla and ability to operate motor vehicles, and shall, if deemed necessary, require a practical demon- stration as to ability to operate motor vehicles.” Tests Always Made. Practical demonstration as to abil- ity to operate cars is now invarlably made. Questions are also asked rela- tive to applicant’s knowledge of the traffic regulations. Many operators have secured their licenses to drive before the practical demonstration was Inaugurated and simply upon oral questions and answers. Experience has shown that absolutely necessary that practical demonstration. should be made, and the tendency is to make them more thorough and extensive. In the trial of cases it is amazing to find such ignorance of the regu- lations, which it is presumed the driver must have known to secure his permit. Even the essential speed swers as to speed vary from 6 to 30 miles an hour. With such testimony it is evident that examinations are not of such a character as to im- press the applicant, or that what they have crammed, for the purpose of the examination, is soon forgot- ten. ‘This leads one to the conclusion that there should be periodical examinations to test the drivers as 1o their knowledge of the regula- tions, at lea“t.

William Cummings. Alfred A. Knopf. ) An island eaten out from the Massa- | chusetts coast. An island long, like a hammer widening to its head toward the north, or like an outstretched arm, the hand a clenched fist. Upon the sland a hamlet fishermen— Portuguese. That's all. All, in much the sense that a roughly quarried block of marble is “all” to a Saint- Gaudens or a Danfel Chester French. * K ox K As Mr. Cummings carves out his| story he holds ever in mind me“ dominlon of the sea over this island— excluding it from the common daily | life of the mainland, sweeping it with | the wrath of winds gathered from far | unbroken ocean levels, battling it | with flerce waves and burying it in| snows garnered out of the frozen | North. This fine deference to the sea’'s lordship of the island creates | the atmosphere of the story. A nat- | ural atmosphere, upon the whole' bleak in its effect. An effect deep-| ened by a vague sense of doom, or | fate, such as the sea out of its sheer immensity and cruelty imposes, noj matter what smiling face it may for | the moment or the hour present.| Throughout Mr. Cummings makes an | action itself. And at high points he | deepens the significance markedly | through a keenly sensitive use of the spiFitual significance of the sea in its| brooding and often sinister implica- tions. Nobody around here just now has done It so well—has done it at! all, in fact.

The revenge of Rosie is a part of Rosie’s nature—the ultimate seduc- tion of Giorgio, the futile assault upon Joe's chastity, the daily exhi- bitions of her flaming hatred of Angela. This, Rosie herself. And, finally, it all reacts upon the girl herself—not because of some moral that a silly author might impose, but because of the inevitable flareback of one’s deeds upon one's self.

Should the court grant a tempo- rary injunction and set the case for hearing on its merits, thus postponing the destruction of the Washington in order to permit an exhaustive inquiry, a novel procedure will have been in- stituted with a court of minor juris diction examining into an interna- tionel question of the gravest impor- tance and involving the good faith of friendly foreign governments. TWwo questions are presented in this ple, one relating to the validity of the ratifications, and the other as to the manner in which the treaty has been otwerved and executed by the na- tions party to it. On the first it spent during these past five days in securities, and for the most part for, Wall Street during the past few days since election has come from other cities. The orders, indeed, have poured in literally .from every part of the country. Yet this is not a boom mar- ket in the sense of a sensational rise in values, With all of the buying by the millions of securities there have been only moderate price ad- vances. The buying has been spread over such a wide range of stocks, practically over the entire list, including all the sound enterprises, that it has not had the effect of forc- ing any particular stock or groups of stocks unduly high. Often in the past the inrush of buying orders has led to rapld speculative advances.

Avers Edmund Burke ‘Was Irish, Not Briton To the Editor of The Star: In The Evening Star of the 6th in- stant, In your description of “The Monuments of Washington,” you state that Edmund Burke was an English- man. Edmund Burke was very much an Irishman, as he was born in Dub- lin, Ireland, and his preparatory train- ing was gained at a school in Balli- ! not the point. It does stand in a class by itself among these novels. Talking, instead, about the one de- cisive stroke that released this author from the bonds of the Puritan tradi- tion, which has held, properly held, the other writers of novels about New England. By the choice of a group of Portuguese settled on the Atlantic coast, Mr. Cummings was enabled to make just the splendid use of the natural setting and its spiritual implications that he did make, and at the same time through this cholce of a hamlet of European peasants he was enabled also to ex- pand the borders of his romance by yond the dour aspects of the Puri- tanic philosophy that flow blood of every ingrained N lander.
