The allied fofces go ahead at day- break. Some of them in fact were in & position to strike long before that. Some- thing in the nature of wartime conditions marked the outcome of the London con- ference of the allies with the German delegates toncerning reparations. What- ever may have been the impression which the German delegates received, or what- ever they believed they would be able to accomplish in the way of postponements and delays the allies firmly insisted that there could be no haggling. On that clear cut basis there was nothing eise to do but to terminate the conferenes and proceed to do what Germany had been told last week would be done it the demands were not met, > Cling as it would to the dea ‘that it could impress upon the allies its inability 0 pay-Germany has fallen down in its endeavor, and no one will be surpried at it unless it is Germany. Instead of being allowed free rein in order to utilise every possible means for the payment of the debt through the acceptance of the terms submitted Germany has balked with the result that it must have mili- tary control in certain rich industrial gan- ters and a direction of its customs and possibly export business by representes tives of the allied countries. It Germany seriously carried the idea that through such offers or representa- tions as were made to the allies by its felegates it could cause them to so for- ret what devastation had been wrenght by the armies of that country it must today be consclous of its error.

It werk- £ on that assumption too long and when the disciosure came Germany fnds that the allies are going to do just what they Fave notice in advance weuld be dome. Germany could have aveided the imposi- tion of this additional penalty and met snly relieved itsel? of added trouble but treated a better feeling throughout the world. REASON TO COMPLAIN, With good reason, does Health Com- issioner Copeland of New York mani- ~ lest his disgust at the failure of congress o take action dealing with the heslth % conditions due to the typhus cases which ! ly coming to ports in this country. insists that congress canmnot claim t it was not awakened to the situation “because he has taken care to see that members were informed, but the very fact that o many cases were being dis- overed among immigrants and that the facilities for handling the cases and pre- renting any suffering with the diseams from getting through the lines were se nadequate ought to have been sufficiently o have brought quick and ef- ¢ from the federal authori- through the necessary assistance from congress. Well does the commissioner inquire, Ts the government too busy to pretest human life?" Judging by the report of laek of safeguards at the ports along the At- lantic coast, the fact that thousands ef immigrants are being transported through the many states along the coast and cases e being discovered among thoss Whe have been admitted to the country it ean be appreclated that, in spits of the efforts hich have been put forth and the claim typhus can never get a serious foot- Id here, that something in the way of meeting the situation should have been : undertaken ty the last congress. Its pol. may have been to do as little s pos- sible but such conditions demand the best of attention whenever they are disclosed. Lack of attention and delays are re- eponsible for all sorts of ills and failure = to prepare against the keeping out of dis- ease is just as bad as a failure te pre- re against the invasion of any ether There s no wonder that the h commission at New York com- plains over federal laxity. OUR FUTURE LUMBER. While interest is being taken in many states to interest the boys in the werk of reforestation, thers are others whers it is realized that there is meed of giving I encouragement to tne actual land owners < in order to get them actively engaged in increasing the woodland of the preseat d the Jumber supply of the future. . This is being done in the state of In- a through legislation which provides that all timber land shall be assessed for taxation at one dollar an aere. This « places jt all on the same basis and at a rate which should not only develop great. *er inferest in the existing woodland but {in replacing the forests whenewer cut er ! extending woodland to what is now rated as waste jJand. Wnuufilna is a valuable asset. With : somo trees more than others it is, how- ever, a long time in developing. If de- nuded hills'des are going to be taxed at a lower 7ate provided they are utilised ifor imcreasing the timber supply mueh “more interest is bound to be ereated i < this wmdertakirg through the plaeing of & Zlow tax valmation on guch property tham would be the case whers it was held at “the same valuction zs other surreunding Zacres. It is possible to view such legislation “in the light of a subsidy, where the state I pays those engaged in increasing the lum- “ber supply for Comg something that wil] “nocrue to their benefit, but 1t i em the Zbroad ground {hat there is need of gréat. “er attention to forest propagation that fa- vorable action has been takén in both lsranches of the Indigna legislatmve.

There is ne disguising the fact that the féw adminisiration recegmises the re- sponsibilities that it has assumed. Fre- quently has President Harding made ref- erence thereto. He was conscious of that months ago and it was that in mind that he made his appeal ta the closing session of the last congress is clean the slate befors it How far cengress came from discharg- ing s duty is fully understoed. There is an impressive ameunt of business that Wwas not dispesed of, Most ef it will have to be handled by the new cangress in ad- ditien 15 tha werk that weuld naturally s presented te it, thus greatly increas- ing its task and giving indications of a long special session, the date of which should soon bé knewn. It is unforiunate, in yiew of the many things that the country has been expect- ing congress to do, that such 3 Stack el legislation including big anprepriation bills should be left unfinished. Some of it may never be heard from again, but there is wuch of it that must get atten. tion. Thers iy the peompect tuat the new congress will be able te expedite action Where it was not pessible under the old one. With all branches of the govern- ment in harmeny ability to get results should be less difgult, Already has the president set to wark to get the machinery ef the ne wadmin- istration properiy geared. The cenference With the leaders and the first eabinet meeting should help to gel the prelimi- nary gbtails arranged and the pregramme of procedure mapped eut. There are many matters whieh the senate can deal with for the rest of this menth, and which will net invelve the house, but with the unfinished business of the last session, which it ean be expeoted will te 2 large extent be revived, thrown upen it in addition te what would oth- srwise be presented for ita conideration, it ean be realized that the earlier. it gets down to business the quicker results will e obtained, ANTI BOLSWEVIK REVOLTS.

Washington, D. C., March 7.—All eyes turned towards New England whan Viee President agd Mrs. Coolidge came inte the official world as second only in pr tige and importance to the president and Mrs. Harding. The Yice president made a splendid ,impregalen en the senate and crowd of visitors in the gallery, When he tok his eath, administéred by the out- going vice p with quiet digmity and freedom from em- brassment that appesied to all. His ad- dress was pronounced admirable by all Who heard it and the poise with which he epened the session of the senate whein marks the beginning of the €7th con- gress showed that he is well equipped to be its permanent presiding officer. Mrs. Coolidge has made a great success dur- ing the few days she has been at the capital. People here are charmed with her cordiality and the frank mapher in which she enjoys the social and official part she is to play in the new admin- istration. She sat in the front row of the gallery during the inauguration of the vice president, just across the Rarrow aigle from the so-called vice president's DeW, which was then ocupied by Mrs. Marshall and a party of friends. At her side were the two young Coolidge boya 434 next in line the vice president’s fath- er. The boys leaned over the railing and watched intently all the proseediags Which were a part of the ceremony. la fact there is every evidence that Weshing- ton will have a new view of offielal life, combined with domestic life, in*the meth- ods adopted by Mrs. Harding and Mrs. Ceolidge. They frankly show their fam:lies come first, althought they both Wwill a:- tend with cordial readiness, to the formal and official functions which fall te the lot of the wife of president and vice president. Searcely had the mew congress come into being than there was a very gener- 4l moving day in the ranke of senators. 86 large is the ropublican majerlty over on the democratic side of the ehamber in what is XROws as Cherokes strip. Outgoing mambers on' 1he republiean side | sel! left seme,desidable seats vacant asd long ago provident semators staked their claims to them and imediately after 12 neon Marcli fourth, meved their belong- ings from desk to desk, so no uatter element—if such a thing can exiat in the staid and dignified senate—would inad- vertently attempt possession. Perkaps no one incident of the day was more p.tiful than the, vain attempt of Woodrew Wil- on to stand up.and bo counted anfong the leading lights of the occasign. De- spite the insistance of Mrs. Wilan and others interested in his welfare, Mr. Wil- son was determined to go to the capl- tol and take part in the ceremonivs. He rode up the avenue a shrunken and slouching figure, beside the stalwaet form of Mr. Hardinz. When Mr. Wilson e tered the capitol it Was necessary to walk up a half dozen steps—this wes done only by haviig his feet earefully placed on each step by an attendant, for he is physically unable to iitt them from the floor. He then snuftied a few BtepA to the wheel chalr which has been used for Senator Penrose since his ill- mess, and in that was wheeled to the nearby elevator. Reaching the senate floor Mr. Wilson walked about twenty feet to the presidest’s room, dragging ihis paralyssd foet, and leaning heavily towards the left, for he no longer stands upright. The same assistance of wheel chair and lifting of his feet by attend- ants was followed when he left the sen- ate a half hour later and before Mr. Harding teok his eath of effiee. ¢ i The public appearance of Mr. Wilsen in this condition, within an hour after his physicin, Dr. Grayson, had given out 2 bulletin to the press that “Mr. Wil- %on is in fine shap teday, and better than at any time eince his illness be- gan” was a perfect illustration of the manner in which the farmer president's condition has been hulletined to the pub- lic all through the past two years, when the press and-Senator Moses of New Hampshire were attempting to tell the country the facts of the case. On the day of the inauguration of Mr. Harding Mr. Wilson came into public view in such a manner zs to show the\ public his true condition. Connccticat did not send as large » delegrtion to the inayguration as @i® mes¢ of the other New Engiand stater New Hpmpshire and Massachusetts had clegations in their governors, members of the staff and of- ficials 0f the state legislatures. A few Conneeticut men of political prominence were here but not in official capacity. Duting the recess Semntors Brandegee and McLear Wil remain in Washington most of the time as the senate will be in special session.

But Ann Orr went to the far west as a bride and réared her family in the wilds of the Indian Terri- tory, where the Wercesters suffered the hardships of mission life while ministeriag te the Indians. Miss Rebertson is proud of her New England ancestry. “What woujd América be today witheut New England bleod, New England baek beme and 'New England courage” #he zsked when semeene in her presence spoke with sarcasm of the prominence dnd prestige New Bngland now has in congress.

Practically the first boycott that went into effect in America occurred jmmedi- ately following the Stamp act, and espe- eially after the British parliament had passed the restraining act presented by George Townshend. His remarks in par- liament: “I would govern the Americans a8 subjects of Great Britain. I would Testrain their trade and their manufac- tures as subordinate - 10 the mother country. These, our children, must’ not make themselves our allies in time of war and our rivals in peace.” The Townsherid measure, when an ef- fort was made to put it into effect in America, aroused the greatest amount of indignation. An agreement was at once entered into by eminent men of the colo- nists not to import goods from England. They banded themselves together to carry out this edict, but it was difficult to keep alive such associations. Importers Who signed such an agreement not to bring over any more goods from England virtu- ally committed business suicide. The reward of a clear conscience was likely to prove a poor return to most men for the ruin of their fortunes and the im- pending poverty of their children. When the merchants of Philadelphia, for in- stance, refused to bid for making uni= forms for the royal troops, a merchant in New York broke the agreement and made a handsome profit from the contract. The Boston traders were better kept in line through the watchfulness of the patriot Sam Adams and his followers. When they found persuasion to fail they resorted to harsher theasures. In timi- dating handbills were circulated begging all patriots net to patronize an offending firm er a post bearing a pointed hand was erected in front of the obstinate mer- chants’ doer. As an instance of this, one of these handbills contained the foilow- ing L “William Jackson, an importer at the Brazen Head, north side of the Town House, and opposite the Town Pump in Cornhill, Boston.

Before many of its provisions have become operative proposal is made to modify one of the major _treaties growing out of the World War—that of Sevres In many respects the most drastie in its effects so far as its changes of boundaries and sovereignties are con- cerned, the Treaty of Sevres has at- tracted less attention than thé docu- ments signed at Versailles, St. Ger- main, and Neuilly. It sweeping ef- fects are outlined in a communication by Ralph A.
