Washington. April 2S.-T. S. troops
probably will be sent to the strike re-
gion in Colorado today to restore or
der.
This became known last night, fol-
lowing conference between the
President, Secretary Of War Garrison
and Senator Thomas, at which tele-
gram announcing that John D. Rookie
feller, owner of most of the mines in.
yolyed in the trouble, had refused me-
diation, was read.
Representative Foster of Illinois.
chairman of the House committee on
mines, was sent to New York by Pres
ident Wilson to urge Rockefeller to
order arbitration OF the dispute be-
tween himself and the miners. Rep
resentatiye Foster in telegram to
the President last night stated that
Rockefeller would not agree to medi.
ate in the trouble by directing his
managers to agree to arbitrate.
The President received long tele.
gram from Foster before the latter left
New York, relating in detail his fail
ure to win Rockefeller's aid in set
tlement of the conditions in Colorado.
1t is understood that General Crow.
der, who was called into the confer.
ence at the White House, advised the
President that he was entirely within
his rights in ordering federal troops
into u state, the governor of which
had made an appeal for aid to restore
order.
The President is extremely reluc.
tant to interfere in the internal af.
fairs of Colorado. He believes Colo
rado should set its own house in or.
der without involving the Washington
government in the housecleaning.
Then, he is said to doubt the political
wisdom OF throwing troops into the
disturbed region to restore order, be-
cause of the criticism that is certyiA
to arise in certain quarters that rNA
administration is using the military
over TO crush labor and to fight the
battles of capital and the corporations.
The prolonged conference between
the President. Secretary Garrison and
Senator Thomas ended without def.
mite action. 1t is expected, however,
that the President will order out the
troops today
There was tense feeling here all day

The Chicago Public Building.

The minority House leader, Representative Mann,
of Illinois, has suggested to the Secretary of the
Treasury another means of economy in government
expenditures. The Illinois Congressman has written
Mr. McAdoo to the effect that the purchase of a
postofice site in his district, Chicago, might well be
postponed until the government afford the ex-
pendture of the money without resortng increased
internal revenue taxes"
Mr.. Mann's suggestion is in the nature of an at
tack on what might be termed post pork barrel bill
The last public buildings and grounds made
liberal appropriation for the purchase of sites and
completion of buildings throughout the country The
Treasury Department is now selecting the sites and
spending the money. If public building is not
Immediately necessary in Chicago it would seem to
follow that there many other cities and villages
in the status. This being the the Treasury
can make considerable saving by directing that work
cease until it take stock of the countrys finances
If public building bill were pending in Congress
today its passage would be urged only by those who
sought get through the rivers and harbors bill with
its S5ooooooo, so efectually trimmed by Senator
Burton, of Ohio.
Mr.. McAdoo has a considerable proportion of the
public building barrel under his CONTROL and word
to the supervising architect would keep it there When
private builders forced curta operations there
is no reason why the government should not adopt
the same course.

A Dramatic Triumph.

Far back as the memory of the oldest man The
Herald which has the largest morning circulation in
Washington by two to one, runneth one recall
an instance when the editorial columns of this paper
has ever given space to comment upon a theatrical
performance in Washington.
There are exceptions to all general rules. Here is
one. On account of what is to follow we want to
state that we do know personally any in the
cast, the press agent the owner, the manager of
the theaer where The Birds of Prey is being pro-
duced, and where it has only two nights to run.
We have been impressed by within the Law "
The Yellow Ticket" and other hgh-class, cleverly
written, and artistcay acted melodramas in the last
few years, but we do not consider them realistic
in plot or as perfectly and satisfactorily acted Thank
goodness that at last Jack Barrymore has been
given a chance to do some real acting; and he has
risen the occasion nobl bly-and makes the writer
old-time admirer of Maurice Barrymore, great
honor bestowed upon that famous theatrical on
the male side-Ethel Barrymore having come into her
own and arrived some time ago.
Jane Cowl excels in this play any work she has
done before, and all remember her excellent work
in Within the Law" The entire cast is very much
above the average-not single character in the cast
is a misft. Washington, New York, and the country
large all indebted to the producer, Mr.. A. H.
Wood, and the Washington theatergoing public
should be ashamed of itself because the house last
night was little more than half filled. If you want
to get more than your moneys worth and feel as if
you had cheated somebody, see this performance
before it leaves next Sunday for a years run on
Broadway. That is what we prophesy-and we know
that saying about prophet

Horses for the Armies.

Cnless the military authorities of the United States
do something about it, they will find the domestic
supply of horses suitable for army remounS speedily
exhausted by the raids" being made upon It by the
fighting governments of Europe. Dispatches appear
ing yesterday in the Times report that British agents
have placed orders for 10000 head in Illinois, and in
that State alone the French buying $50 horses
day. The peace equipment of the United States army
is 10000 horses; war footing would require 10000
at once, followed by complete supply every six
months, or from 10000 to 10000 year. During
the Boer war England practically stripped the United
States of cavalry horses and since then the develop
ment of the automobile has largely prevented the
breeding of the saddle type of horses As American
army horses are bought in the open market there
being no government breeding farms like those in
Prussia and other European countries there will
inevitably be dearth OF remounts.
The waste of horses for cavalry and artillery in
exceeds so per cent; in the Crmean war it rose
10 90 per cent while in the Boer the percentage
was almost heavy. In the Spur of October 1 the
10000 as against mobilization that calls for $4,000
plement of remounts and the fact that most nations
keep only two-thirds of the number of horses
sary in proportion to the number of enrolled
sufhces show that the rush already begun to get
horses in the United States will become seri-
Gus matter.
The United States army is now equipped with
horses large proportion of which not of good
types-not strong enough through the shoulders to
carry weight wiry enough for cavalry, while the
artillery lacks the "blocIy" type that is specially
needed. Has not the time come for Congress to au-
tRorize the establishment of government breeding

gentlemen, to steal as the ordinary yeggman never
has an opportunity to steal, how can people pre-
tending intelligence designate such as gen
tleman burglar7 He is common thief because theft
is not included among the things gentleman may
do" When gentleman embarks on career of bur-
glary he ceases to be gentleman. In precisely the
same way burglar who aspires to the title of gen
tleman" must pass through the stages Of reformed
burglar" and true man" So much for the absurdity
of the term gentleman burglar"
But many people viii insist that there is species
of robber, who clothes himself in evening clothes
and silk hat before faring forth on his evening
depredations Such thief is not supposed to shin
up porch posts and enter windows. The gentlemanly
thief must sneak from door to door of unlighted
houses while their owners are out and, finding a
door unlocked, must enter and pluck what is not
screwed fast If discovered his clothes supposed
to mislead the owner to the belief that he is an nno-
cent visitor or policeman the conclusion that he
is the owner of the house. This method of robbery
is adapted to other disguises than evening clothes
and gentlemany air; il does not serve to give an
excuse for standing the mythical gentleman burglar
on pedestal or making hero of him
And finally, the most conclusive proof that he
does not exist is the fact that have been seen
or captured Recently in this city young man pre-
sented himself to the police as gentleman burglar,
but he was distinctly disappointment to those who
cherish the thief in the high hat because his method
was more than sneak thievey.

The Gold Pool IN Action.

Since the $Ioooooooo gold pool, formed by our
bankers for the purpose of relieving the foreign
exchange situation has been put into actual operation
public criticism concerning the nature and purposes
of the pool has been very considerably modified In
effect and as actually carried out the object of the
gold pool is an attempt by our leading bankers to
provide such an amount of gold for the necessary,
proper nonspeculatiye and feasible requirements Of
foreign exchange to enable merchants and other
people in this country to make remttanees of money
to Europe in payment of commercial and other obl-
sations-mosty incurred before the outbreak of the
European war-without paying extortionately
high price therefor.
The pool is not to. provide fund for Europe to
make dumping ground hereafter for sales of our
securities to the hazard of our own just and rghtfu
interests People who desire to make remittances
to Europe and who cannot buy necessary exchange
therefor except at absurdy high level, can make
application to the managers of the pool If it is
found that the remittance is of proper Sort that is,
that it is payment of genuine Indebtedness, trans
fer of funds representing payment of dividends or
bond interest falling due, of something of like
nature the bankers will quickly furnish the exchange
but if is found that anybody is desirous of taking
advantage of the bankers generosity for speculative
or financially unfair motives, he will promptly be
told to buy his exchange in the open market.
Thus restricted, the use of the gold pool will be
of undoabted benefit. Every must be impressed
with the permanent benefit that will accrue to this
country from the advertisement of Rasonable main
tenance of gold payments by at time when all
the rest of the world has practically suspended gold
payments. After the war is over and financial and
business matters their usual course the in
vestors of the world-if the war ever leaves them
with any money to invest-will be apt to think that
the United States and United States securities are
pretty good places in which to have money in times
of stress. 1t will be remembered that were the
only country in the world which did not have re-
course to a moratorium or substantially such, when
the international credit system suffered the greatest
shock that it has endured in modern times.
And this will hold true, despite equally general
recollection that no nation has gold enough make
practicable the transfer of all any large percentage
of its actual wealth into gold at any time, and
that our country did not attempt to make such trans
fer
