Apparently, there is small dimnuton OF

ISOLATE and capture Warsaw is being prose-

Of Tie fate Of the German onslaught If the

OF Course, We Need Experts

w lTHouT regard to the special situation
w which the statement was based
there will be general public concurrence In
the Wow of Commissioner Mccarthy, Of the
Administrative Board that the city needs ex-
pert direction OF the Departments of Water,
Gas ana Street Cleaning.
Just how serious are the deficiencies in the
current operation Of the Gas and Water De-
partmcnts. and 10 what extent these arc due
TO Inadequate equipment rather than to the
Jack OF skilled supervision. may be Il question
The public, in the nature OF things cannot
determine precisely why ii does not receive
better and cheaper gas, or why there should
be any threatened lack of an abundant water
supply These are technical Problems that
demand expert technical knowledge for their
just solution.
Even the public, though, knows that the
streets are not kept clean We believe--we
hesitate to say it. lest enthusiasm run away
with us, but we do believe--that of late there
has been some slight improvements The
men with the sprinkler that precedes the
machine sweeper have been somewhat less
pars'monious in their use Of water. and on
the occasions when snow has fallen there has
beer gratifying promptness, despite a good
deal of wasted and redundant effort, in re-
moving the snow from the principal
thoioUghfares.
But the situation is still pretty bad-con-
dtiors are decidedly worse than the ordinary
American city could be induced to tolerate
Comparison Of the condition Of the smooth
pavcments here with that of similar pave
ments in Washington, or even in Baltimore is
enough to make the loyal Richmonder
ashemed AS for the pavements of granite
block and cobble. the less said about them
the better.
IL is inevitable-at least until larger
proportion Of Richmond's male population
wakes up, gets itself registered and acquires
the Dahit of going to the polls-that the mu-
nlclpal departments, almost without eScep-
ton should be manned by political ap-
pointees 1t is said to be the proud boast of
Superintendent Cohn, Of tho Street Cleaning
Department, that he votes his retainers as
one man. Whether he does or not he has
that reputation i'll circles political and &C
quircs thereby an Importance his ability as
a street cleaner does not confer and that lie
would not otherwise possess.
That the streets dirty isn't a mystery
really; 1t is just the natural product Of politi-
cal conditions. We who sit in newspaper Of
ices may talk and scold and mar good white
paper as much as we please, but there will
be no change until an aroused and indignant
public sentiment demands It and enforces
its mandate at the polls.
OF course. Richmond needs experts and
neels them badly, but if it should get them
an expert capacity in the powers that be to
permit these men to discharge their proper
functions would still be an absolute essential.
Perhaps the efficiency and economy with
which private corporation does business and
gets results are not possible to a munich
pa!ity, but Richmond could approach that
IDEAL much more closely than it does to-day.

Port au Prince, Aug. 6.-The American naval forces today took possession of the office of the port, the national palace and the Haitien gunboat Pacifique, which arrived in Port au Prince this morning.
 During the movement to take the office of the port, the Ameri- cans opened fire on the Haitiens and one Haitien was killed.
 The occupation of the office of the port and the national palace gave the Americans the last po- sitions held by the Haitiens. The populace has been thrown into consternation by the operat- ions.
 The president of the Senate in the name of the nation today cabled Solon Menos, Haitien min ister to the United States, a new protest against the occupation of Haitien territory.

ELLEN WILSON MEMORIAL HOMES

To impress more vividly on the minds of the women of.the nat ion the quiet, unobtrusive work done by Mrs. Wilson in her short life in Washington, the women of the District of Columbia Sect ion of the National Civic Feder- ation are to build block of model houses, to be known as t h e Ellen Wilson Memorial Homes. While the movement has been started by Mrs. Archi- bald Hopkins and other Wash ington women wno worked side by side with Mrs. Wilson. a nat ion-wide appeal is being made to the women's clubs to enter into the movement. To streng- then this national campaign the scheme has been incorporated, with an advisory board of men and women from every section.
 The manifold object of bLild- ing these model houses, said Mrs. Archibald Hopkins. chair man of the movement, lis, first, to the wife of the President a memorial that will perpetuate the humanitarian work she did during her life in the White House; secend, for the poor of Washington clean and healthy homes to replace the unsightly and unsanitary alley novels; third, for the national capital a block of model tenements that will be a very cornerstone for the city beautiful plan that is being
