France has been for more than cen

in tn, near East as in the far West, and
ha; held the honor as one who covets 1t

said to feel, as never before, that protec-
torates Of this kind are more or less po-
Iitical exploitation. Since the law OF
separation in France, Germany has as
sumed protection OF Catholic interests In
Palestine, although without formal au-
thority from the Vatican, and now ap-
pears anxious to exert that protection TO
Lybia. The Italian government stands
ready to afford protection, and is some
what jealous of Germany's assumptions
as regards Lydia It cares nothing about
protection in Jerusalem. Early assump-
ton of diplomatic relations between
France and the Vatican, said to be de-
sired by both parties, may change the
outlook in the East. The tension Is con-
siderable. and is not growing less.

For a third time within two years, the
efforts made by The Washington Her
aid in the behalf of the residents living
in the outlying sections Of the city TO
secure for them free delivery OF tele-
grams, express packages, purchases
made in the downtown sections, and
freight, were crowned with success when
the Interstate Commerce Commission
yesterday decided that the citizens OF
Anacostia have been disseminated
against. in that they have been denied
the same privilege enjoyed in other sec
tons of Washington.
About two years ago The Washington
Herald started a crusade against the
practice of the express and telegraph
companies in refusing to deliver tale
grams and express packages In the out
lying sections of the city. Upon the in
formation and data furnished II by The
Herald, the Anacostia Citizens Associa-
ton, following an investigation. iled a
formal complaint with the Interstate
Commerce Commission protesting
against the determinations.
The first triumph in the crusade came
before formal complaint was made TO
the commission when the telegraph
companies voluntarily extended toShe
citizens OF Anacostia the same privi-
Ieges enjoyed by downtown sections.
Railroad Is Included.
The commission also ruled that the
Anacostia citizens have also been dis
eliminated against by the Baltimore and
Ohio Railroad, in that the railroad has
withheld from Anacostians the privileges
of receiving at their residences baggage
checks of the carrier for baggage destin-
ed to interstate points, while extending
the privileges to residents of other sec
tions of Washington.
An order was issued yesterday by the
commission requiring the Philadelphia,
Baltimore and Washington Railway, on
or before March /. 1913, to comply with
the findings of the commission. The
commission held, that while the transfer
company is not a common carrisr, 1t
occupies a peculiar relation to the rail-
road which grants TO 1t the exclusive
right of transporting and checking bag
gage, and as agents Of the railroads
they are responsible for their acts.
At the time of the filing of the COM
plaint The Herald furnished Charles 4.
Burr, president Of the Anacostia Citi-
zens' Association. with data and facts,
which decided the association to file for
NAL complaint. F. s. Bright and E A.
Beck appeared before the commission for
the citizens association.

The Washington Herald was
of the greatest assistance to us
not only because it was agitating

fact that It furnished me with
many important facts as to the
procedure necessary to filing for

doubtedly at the next meeting of

probation OF its efforts and aid
will be passed by the association.
