From the silence that has been maintained relative to the plans for rescuing the aviators it has been evident that the safety of the men was aimed at.first and that being as- Sured through the compliance with the demands of the outlaws wherever nécessary, plans had been perfected for dealing with those who are re- sponsible for the situation. It is one of the instances which this country had in mind when it told Carranza that it would follow hot trails across the border in order to punish those Mexicans that the republic to the south has repeatedly shown its ipability or unwillingness to do. What the outcome of the pursuit will be will be awaited with keen interest, but even with the short time in which #5° make preparations and such pre- enutions as the bandits have unques- #ionably taken there is good reason to expect that the cavalry and aviators will be able to round up some of the guilty. It is perfectly evident that it is mseless to depend upon Carranza and his forces for the suppression of thiese border trouble makers. Even “the recent warning that has been gven to Carranza does not appear to Bave quickensd his recognition of tHe fact he must assume the re- of protecting the lives and foreign subjects within fact is that the ipe out these bandits ‘whenever volve this country or fts People means the rendition of valnable service to Mexico but it is to be expected that Carranza will take s view of it.

Sunday three per- when a locomotive tomobile at a railroad the custom for top their trains at every of a highway, even on Vermont, and unfortun- is too frequently the case that highways show a egard the dangers srade crossings are eoncerned. From all that is known of the sad affair, the victims of which included the engincer as well as two occupants of the auto, there was no attempt made to “stop, look and listen” in accord with the advice which is so pizinly displayed at such places, and what occirred was cnly what has w00 often happened undsr similar condi- tions. In spite of all the horrors of such affairs and the steadily increas- ing number of them, those who find it necessary to negotiate railroad crossings seem to be in such a hurry that they prefer to sacrifice, or take a chance of sacrificing, their lives rather than delay their mad rush the brief time that would be required to insure their safety. The experience of others doesn’t ssem to be sufficient to guide some peopie away from dangerous practices. Rather do some insist upon having a hairbreadth escape before they grasp the lesson of carelessness. It is interesting to note in this con- nection that the Baltimore and Ohio railroad is endeavoring to have the clergymen in the towns and cities along its lines impress upon their flocks the importance of observing @tety first rules at crossings and tions. This may be a bit out of usual line of a miinister's work, t saving life is always commend- le and who knows but what it may ch the very ones who need it, es- ially if they go to church before tting out on their auto rides. 8 n ! GERMANY'S CONSTITUTION. Faced with the necessity of meeting “new conditions Germany, or the w German republic, gives evidence t it got right down to busines k time by the forelook and made favorable start towards readjust- ent and reconstruction through its constitution. It doesn’t appear be the result.of snap judgment. It the product of deliberations ex- nding over considerable time but hat cannot fail to make an fmpres- n_is that Germany accomplished big task of drafting and adopting a new constitution and changing over from century old conditions while other countries are still floundering around with what would ordinarily be’ con- sidered much smaller problems. " Germany has the advantage of meet- g its new conditions with a new i while ethers must endeavor to | @djust their old ones to the new tasks, but from its new constitution Ger- front it. ‘Germany b quickly what it set out GUARDING ARMENI In connection with his the house of This of course has menia in which this country been interested but reg the United States has no desi undertake the responsibility for its government. As a matter of fact it is difficult, for mest people to ‘under- stand why this country should have any part in arranging the peace be- tween the allied nations and and Turkey since it was not engaged in war with those countries and had persistently avoided any such step. Armenia however cannot- he aband- oned to the wila hordes, whether guid: ed by Turkey or not, that like noth- ing better than to descend upon it and kill off great numbers of its peo- ple. It wouldn't take long in their present condition for the Armenians to be wiped out and certainly proper provisions for their protection must be made as quickly as possible. British forces have taken possession of Turkey as was to be expected. It was the British who were directing the campalgn in that region and they must certainly look after conditions there until peace is arranged and see that those who have been freed from Turkish clutches are safeguarded. The suggestion of the withdrawal of the British forces could hardly be enter- tained unless the responsibility that goes with it is assumed. Quite pro- per is the feeling that the guardian- ship of Armenia for the future should be arranged as quickly as possible but in the meantime that country can- not be left open for the hungry hu- man wolves of that region, to de- vour. HOW LONG WILL IT LAST? New York eannot fail to be pleased that the striké on the Interborough has been settled and the cars that will give it the transportation service that it requires are again running. As far as tying up the lines of the company involved was concerned, getting a substantial increase in wages and being assured that the other demands will be adjusted the strike must be regarded as a decided success with results ouickly obtained. And in this connection not a little credit must go to those who did so much to hasten the end rather thgn to those who sought to prolong it and cloud jt with other issues. But New York must , nevertheless wonder just what the settlement is going to amount to. Under the terms of adjustment it will be expected that the new cenditions will continue for a definite period of time. But in this connection a trusting public or the traction company can herdly tell whaf to expect in view of the experience it just gonme through, for a con- tract existed between the road and the men until the first of next year and that contract was simply regarded as a scrap of paper when the men refus- ed to abide by it and insisted that its provisions be broken. It is of course desirable that all such matters should be adjusted upon a basis of falrness, but such things should by ‘no means be onesided if fairness is to prevail. Yet.a contract was ignored and a new agreement will take its place. In view of what has goné before New York will have reason to wonder just what the word of the brotherhood relatiye to living up to it will amount to.

It will not take the Mexican bandits long to reason it out that if 315,000 for two aviators can be obtained so easily, demands will probably be in- creased in the future. —— It seems almost unnecessary - to have announced in connection with the death of two aged women in Massachusetts auto accidents that one machine was driven recklessly.

Rep resentative _Longwor! bluffing, the committee but he told them that without a licensing feature born industry. It was then that Treadway stepped vigorously forward as champion of the New England in- terests. Representative Longwood and Joseph H. Choate, Jr., who rep- resented the Chemical Alliance and the Chemical Foundation and the Am- erican Dye Institute before the com- mittee argued that their interest is in pationalization of the American dye’ industry, the coal tar producis, on account of their ciose relation to chemistry, to high explosives, and i medicines. Representative Treadway's ground is that while the purpose of nationalization sounds good to him, he represents a section of the country which for cotton, wool and silk textiles and for paper is a very important consumer of the dyes. He cannot fight for the nationalization principle which is in conflict with the interests of his home people. Now it happens that Representative Treadway has known Attorney Choate for many years, since the elder Choate had a summer residence in My. Tread- way's home town, Stockbridge. Mr. Choate was being bombarded with a rapid fire of hostile questions by Rep- resentative J. Hampton Moore of Pennsylvania, who threatened to swing the republican majority of the committee entirely away from the li- censing feature and to block passage of the dye protection bill. So when Representative _Treadway _proposed some changes in’ the Mcensing prop- osition he finally persuaded Mr. Cho- ate to agree to them. As a result of Representative Treadway's clever work in the com- mittee the whole licensing power was switched away from the president. The bill as finally- reported out of com- mittee calls for 4 commissioners to represent the manufacturers of dve- tuffs and six to represent the con- sumers. B These commissioners are not nomi- nated by the president and approved by senate, as is customary, but are to be named by the organization rep- resenting the manufacturers and the consumers, so that when the licens- ing commission sets to work it will pe a quasi governmental body but n no way responsible to the president or to cqugress or to any federal autn- ority. So that Instead of giving the power to license in their own discretion to the manufacturers of dyestuffs tne power. is given to the consumers,— such as the textile interests of New England. This is a matter of vna: importance to the fextie inaustry of New wnigiana. Kep. ‘ITeaaway nejotiated “still an- other important advantage. The Leng- wood Dill provided that a license for the importation of foreign @ves wouid be issued when m' the judgment o: tite icensing commission the dyes de. sired could not be produced in this country or at a reasonable vrice, Rep Treadway had this amended so as tu remove “in the judgment of the com- mission,”- so_that if the bill goes ¢hrough it will compel the commission to issue a license to any consumer wheri he testifies that he has been un- able to get the dyes desired in this country import. The republican maje was not unamimous in reporting out this bill, because of a strong fight led by Rep. Moore,—against the licensing features. Mr. Moore wrote a minority report which was signed by three members, Moorg of Pa. Young of South Dakota, and Mott of New York. Although he is ‘opposed to the licensing feature Rep. Treadway felt that he should not vote against the bill since it had been as extensively changed to meet his wishes. Rep. Moore's opposition to the bill was based principally on the ground that it offers a big opportunity for abuse of power that might be exercis- ed by the Du Ponts, the National Ani- line and other big copporate interests. It is ackonwledged by the members of the ways and means committee that ghere could have been developed a ontrol if Representative Treadway had ,not changed the bill. Representative Moore strongly. b- jected also to the fact that Francis PGarvan is president of the Chemical Foundation while at the same . time custodian of alien property who turn- ed over thousands of enemy-owned patents worth many millions of del- lars to the foundatien at g nominal cost. Fhis dye legislation will come come up on the floor seon. The ways and mearis committee has a_tungstén ore bill before the house as unfinished business and the committee ‘has right of. way, anyhow, 56 that- the New England interésts will be fought out on the floor probably next. week.
