One Solution for the Alley Problem.

In considering the alley problem 1t

who are at present studying that ques-

comprehensive bill In Congress TO bear
In mind the desirability OF seeking a so

Of future legislation on the subject. The
bill that Is now contemplated, having
already received the virtual approval of
the Commissioners. aims at the elinina-
ton Of all the inhabited alleys of the
District In ten years through series
of concentrations leading to the con-
version Of these alleys into minor streets
This, however. does not provide con-
structively for the erection of houses
for the accommodation of persons of
small means: in short. 1t does not guar
antee that there viii be substituted for
the present alley dwellings homes for the
poor OF a sanitary character. 1t Is true
that under the provisions of the bill as
now framed the groundwork Is laid for
future constructions that must necessarily
conform to the sanitary standards estab-
Iished by the District government. but
II does not follow that these ouiidings

Japan in Mexico.
The Cleveland Plain Dealer.

All things considered. Japan is display
ing admira BILE moderation and restraint
There are thousands of Japanese subjects
in Mexico and they are In AS great danger
as the subjects of the European nations.
But Japan has dispatched no warship to
Mexican waters. nor has she in any way
attempted TO interfere with the United
States In the Mexican difficulty. Japan
has as clear right to send ships to
Mexico as has Germany or Italy or
France. The lives and property of her
subjects are as much her concern as are
the lives and property of Germans in
Mexico the concern of Germany. But
Japan has considerably held aloof ap-
parently confident of the ability of the
United States to handle the situation
wisely.
