e, CIRCULATION WEEK ENDING SEPT. 13th BEHIND THE SCENES. Preetdent Wilson and Secretary Lans- ng cannot be of the im- pertance of Mr testimony Before the senate committes. Mr. Bul- UAE was a former attache of the erican peace commission and its cenfidante, who was one of those to resign when he found the course of ewents was proceeding in a wav he could not sanction. To have him make the revelations he has. in view of his epportunity to know just what W3S gomg on in the inmost circles, projects a siznificant element into the situation that cannot be disregarded by the president if he is to accom- plish his purpose of securing ratifica- ten for the league. Su sxposure of the conditions surr ing the formation of the e ay well serve as a death blow o the presiflent’s hopes and manifest- I puts Rim on the defansive before the American people. Tt is Qistin disquieting thmt Mr. Bullitt represents Lamsing as saying “1 believe @ senate 1 only what treaty means. American people could #tang, it would unquestionably be de- feated. but I wonder if thev ever will understand lets them in for.” nce was a long eynical bargains, in the president gave awa order that he might get his leagme a staggering realization. And when it is stated further that the American commission was gen- erallr opposed to the league as it was drawn reveals the president in self-seeking atti- a to find Secratary hat if understand and if the really under- swallow-it- imony may well be| cemsidered the most severe blow that t> has received and one which etailed answer, in order s elfe There cannot hapter in this THAT MINORITY REPORT, The minority report of tha senmate committes on the exam- and — wse of fighting areas, and no doubt, some authorities' have explained, they filed claims under a false but Buman impression. They had suffe as much as the farmer back of the lines, and they ‘been exposed to the danger of enemy fire. From this point of view. it is easy to see how the rumor was born and why it was repeated by many soldiers. The offi- cial denial and explanation absolves BURLESON AND CIVIL SERVICE. Whether or not recommendations been flouted by Postmaster General Burleson is to be determined by an investigation which has just been or- dered by a vete of the house of rep- resentatives. The vote was 247 to 22 to” proceed with the investigation of the “pelitical” activities of the post- master general as an appointing power. The author of the resolution says that the committee on reform of the civil service has been informed of 200 cases in peint, charges that temper- ary emploves have beem kept on the payroll long after the recelpt of rec- ommendations for permanent appoint- ments and that it has been the prac- tice of the postmaster general to re- |tain employes when the recommen- dations made have not suited, him po- Titically. No matter what his shortcomings as the head of a department are or may have been, Mr. Burleson is, of course, entitled to suspension of judgment pending the investigation. There is, however. no impropriety in saying that the allegations he will be called upon’ to meet are neither vague nor surprising. They are specific and all the more serious because should they be substantiated impeachment pro- ceedings are likely to Be among the | consequences. The vote by which the resolution was adoptéd makes it clear enough that. there will be no demo- cratic disposition to heold in reserve the whitewash brush. Because of sins of omission and of commission. too many to be inventoried, Mr. Burleson has himseif to thank for the almost universal conviction that his retire- ment into private life will be belated, no matter how soon his services arg dispensed with. ON WITH THE DANCE. The dancing masters of the United States have been saving some things of pith and worth during the conven- tion of the National Association , of Masters' of Dancing held at New York. It has long seemed to many knowing somewhat of dancing its social and aesthetic values, as well as its pleas- ures, that if those recognized as pre- ceptors and evemplars would raise their voices and set their faces against the progressive desradation of dancing in this_country. progressive degradations would cease, and the dance could be reatored to its old es- tas The dancing masters must be charged with a large degree of the respeiistbility for the conditions which they now deplore. They have vielded overmuch the importunities of young veonle unwilling to take éven “mall pains of acauiring those steps and motions which are pari of every dance worthv of the name. nd wanting to plunge into dancing orgies in which all pretense of grace as well as prepriety is aban- doned. and in which the awkward can et by with as much of distinction as the most graceful dancers The president of the Dan graceful = Mas- ters' National Association savs that “the old waltz is coming back. There will he no new dances: only a few medifications” Tn truth. it is not easy to imagine how new dances could be made without including many of minority find ground o the major- 10 be out of | that “d on thej s ki the people areful canvass has| more than a majority | posed to ratification of the| reservation or amend- . e. there is no 0 determine exactiy the bite mind, but such made indica con- | than into generali- nd goes statements are | ith% wave of the hand| amendments aismiss- | the question of Shantung and | of British em- report says: “We char- In our opinion they In similar fashion he proposed reservations are freated discuss their “They are work of senators or- ganized for the purpose of destroying the league and if possible defeating | this treaty.” | Does the minority re upon the| powers of delusion rather than argu- ment to convince those senators whom they hope to reach? TRENCH RENT. The statement of Colonel Blanton Winship, judge advocate-general and head of the requisitions and claims department of the American Expedi- tienary Force, that the French peopie a4 not claim rent for the ground oc- cupied by the American army in front Jine operations, puts an end to an ugly rumer which has been widely ciren- lated. The story has been repeated time and again by returning soldiers, and on occasion by officers of high rank and presumably in position to #ain accegs to the facts. It has been explained by some as a French de- wiee for regaining some of the money paid to alleged American munitions profiteers. who supplied war material at exorbitan: prices before the United States became a belligerent. As explained by Cologel Winship, he American government did pay for the use of traintng areas which were cut up to resemble front line positions amd for artillery ranges upon which service ammunition was used. These areas were far from the frent, and were cultivated by farmers. who were deing their best to supply the war de- mand for food. In taking over their jand, the American government de- prived the farmer of his means of Bwelihood, and reduced the food sup- ply. It was only right and just, there- fore, that payment should be made for the damage dome and for the use of Jand. There is little difference be- tween this transaction and the pur- chase or remtal of large areas in the Dnited States for the same use. Natorally some farmers in the zone of active operations failed to distin- guish between payment for the use of training aress and payment for the jer dav. A fax even of these waltz forms lent themselves too much to | suggestiveness. and, “like all such dances, they were the ecasiest to be Jearned. The professors may meet with opposition in the effort to teach esson that grace and beauty in dance.

(Special to The BulletinJ. Washington, D: C. Sept 15.--Con- gress has accompl much in four months since t was called into special session’ last May. And if the obstructive methods-, of a few -radi- cals can be shunted to a-side track it will be able to adjourn in October with its work well dome. The republicans take pride in_the record and urging no delay Tn the pass- age of bfis to aid returning soldiérs. reduce the cost of living and adjust labor problems. But there has al- ready ‘been much .delay on account of the needless. objections and roll calls which_are al the line of genuine hold-ups. whiech have brought down on the heads of the offenders, rebukes and condemnation from re- publicans_and democrats alike. These hold ups have caused a deéplorable de- lay in getting important measures passed. Take Blanton of Texas, for exampie. He has gained much notari- ety by his system of “blockades.” He came here a few years ago determined to set congress right. and make it oonorm to his personal. views. He did not succeéd and now resorts to the tactics of making an open threat that if things don't go ble way fhey cannot go at ail. FHe demands the Presence of a quorum at times when it is not necessary, such as during de- bates, or_ the filing of committee re- ports and the passage of uncontest ed bills, and as the rules of the house permit a rofl call on the demand of one member thers has been no way to head off the Texan. Fach cail consumes 45 minutes-and it is estimat- ed that Blanton has demanded so many unnecessary calls that more than 20 full legislative days have al- ready been wasted in that way. He] ¢arries this obstructive method so far that en one occasion he blocked the passage of 63 bill€ on the unanimeus consent calendar that had been ap- proved by the committees consider- ing them. One was for the removal of the body of a little child frem Washington where it was temporarily laid, to the home of its parents: an- other to_the pavment of an award of $500 to the widowed mother of a voung. soldier who died in performance of duty. and still another day he object- ed to the chaplain offerfng the ofien- ing prayer of the session until a quorum was present. Th's caused a delay of 45 minutes before the press- ing work of the house eould he begun and in the meantime the blind chap- lain was forced to step déwn from the rostrum with the unuttered praver on bis lips and walit three quarters of an hour for Blanton's demand ~ for. a quorum to be complied with. These are fair examples of the sort of . re- form on which Mr. Blanton is rest- ing his claim for fame. Tt may be| well to add that the 13 committees sitting during sessions under express direction of the house, are composed of 184 members and that they have before them the great raconstructions of the times. So the men whom Blanton accuses of absentecism are actually at work® by specific order of the house and trying to solve the greatest question of the times Agri- culture is trying to reduce the cost of living: interstate commerce to solve the labor and railréad problem: ways and mears to meet the tremendous fi- nancial responsibilitics with the least hardship to the people. vet these com- mittees are interrupted and broken into by the needless summons to the house time after time, and the hlame of delay should be nut on the shoulders of such obstructionists instead of on congress as a whole. When the senate galleries stood up and cheered and applauded Senator Kenyon of Towa at the close of his speech wherein he said that the sen- ate would stand firmly for reservations and that thev had the votes to do it, taking a side swipe at fthe utterance of the president regarding men who opposed that idea. the vice president reminded the galleries that no ap- plause was permitted. He tapped_the galleries to order with a bit of a smile | and added. “The chair often makes ches where there is no rule against applauss, Pet nobody applau e< him. And he is not soing ta here and have other men applauded where there is a rule against it Whereupon the galleries cheersd and applauded louded than ever. for the vice presidnt is very popular, per- sonally. Senator Kenyon undoubtedly stated a fact when he said there were voies enough to defeat the freaty en- tireiy if it so desired. But the senate does not desire that. It will insist| that reservations be made a part, of} the trea‘y bafore ratification—and it The democrats have come across the reservation view point so rapid that there is said to be a seant democrats who stand with the presi- dent, while the entire republican side is for reservations. That leaves 27 democrats and 49 republicans for res- arvations, if the forecast is corrqet And that forecast seems to he prat generally agreed to by both factions. Owners of steck in railroads which are non-dividend payers under rail- road administration management may be interested in the statements made in congress this week by Congress- man Thompson of Ohio. Mr. Thomp- son showed that five high officials met salaries of $50,000 each; two at $40.- 000 each, while $35.000 and $25,000 men come under the “Too numerous to mention” class. Mr. Thompson calied attention to these big salaries in con- nection with the low paid employes of the post office department, whose claims for better pay he was urg~ ing. There is considerable adverse com- ment heye that General Pershing can- not be atcorded the hanor of his per- manent rank until President Wilson returns from his western trip and signs the new commission made neces- sary by the error of the secretary of war in calling his permanent office by the wrong title. Washington is just new in a mood to give General Pershing about anything he wants;] and does not approve the president's WEEPING EGZEMA SOON RELIEVED A Perfect Treatment For This ‘Wasive. “T had an attack of Weeping to s 27| Eczem&; so bad that my clethes ‘would be wet through at times.

Martha was some scared when she got that notice from the sheriff's of- Miee to report for fury duty and te fail not under penalty of the law. ° “It must be a wonderful experi- ence.” declared the back east aunt. “A womans sphere is too limited. It is good for her to see and learn some- thing outside the four walls of her home. Jury duty must be broadening and instructive.” “It is_broadening and instructive.” agreed Uncle Dick. “For instance, Martha never had been an _expert shopper. She always got stung when she bought a bargain. But being on the jury taught Martha the shopping game. Every time there was an -in- termission of a few hours at court the jurywomen would all hike in a body for the shopping district and look things over together, deciding what would buy when they drew pay as jurors. Six different wo- men shopping. in six diffecent di- rections and reporting back to . the bunch can locate nearly every bar- gain in town in a very short time. Of course, Martha always went with an expert at first, but after six or seven intermissions at court she could locate a genuine bargain as quick as the rest. “I suppose,” said the aunt frem down south, “when a case was 100 dreadful a woman could get excused, other two dreadful cases she had pestered the life out of them after they got home at night. calling them up on the phone to get all the details.

Your note about Epping being an hospitable place in the time of Noah (says a correspondent) is not so im- probable as might seem. Tt fell to my lot some years ago to look inté the history of . Coichester. Not only did that dear old_gentleman King Cole live there, but Noah him- self is stated on well founded tra- dition to have cruised over Colchester, being especially ,attracted by the quality of oysters he dredgeg there. ntity No doubt the fact of his beinz “over the Eastern ounties” like our later day friends the Zepps—would aceount for his visit to Epping That famous story about James Watt (who died 100 years ago today. August 25th) ano his mother's tea kettle no longer hold water as it did in the spacious days of last century. Without dargin to deny the story, which is as sacred as Bruce's spider and Alfred's burned cales. we have to confess that Watt was not the in- ventor of the seam engine, hough he helped i on toward perfection. But happily for posterity. there are no hard facts hard enough to erase from English history the story of that bobbing kettle lid. Today, August 25th ‘is also the anni- versary of the death of Sir William ‘And how.about being locked up over night™ asked ‘the aunt from back east. “That didn’t happen to Martha.” said Uncle Dick. “But the bailiff did take them out to dinner one night, loaded all four women and eight men into an old bus that broke down three times on the way to_the hotel, and gave them a good big feed. “I shguld thing,” declared the aunt from down south, “that if the baiiiff took his charges out to dinner, he might have done the right thing aft- erward and taken them to a show.” He did pretty well as it was,” said the aunt from back east wistfully, “But Jt must be dreadful to decide whether & person .is guilty or not guilty.” i “That's what Martha thought at first,” replied Uncle Dick. “But .she found it a mistaken idea. The jury doesn't decide whether a defendant is guilty or not guilty.
