FRANKNESS ABOUT TRADE
RESTRICTIONS

Sir Richard Crawford, the trade
expert and adviser of the British
embassy in this country, is to ad-
dress gathering of business men
in New York tomorrow, explaining
the restrictions the allies have i'm
posed on American trade, seeking to
dispel misgivings and to alleviate
criticism. It is at least a COM
mendable move in that this situation
has become one in which there is
necessity for frankness and candor.
The velvet glove will make the iron
fist feel less harsh. Sir Edward
knows the story of Henry Ward
Beecher's campaign in Great Britain
during our civil war, and of how eff
fecuve it was in restraining British
public opinion from insisting on in
tervention. There were powerful
commercial interests in England
that had refused to see more in the
American struggle than the fact
that it was cutting off their sup
plies of cotton, and thereby injurinG
their business. 1t will be recalled
too, that in the cotton manufactur'
ing districts of England, where the
greatest suffering was inflicted OF
large populations of operatives
whose occupation was gone, senti
ment veered strongly to the unior
view of war. prob. ms, as a result
of these appeals.

.DYESTUFF CENSUS

Department Of Commerce Probe

The Bureau OF Foreign and Domestic

completed M an aid to the development
of the industry in this country.
The census will contain detailed sta

II. Norton at the request OF American
dyestuff manufacturers.

DO AWAY WITH THE DUMPsl

The residents of lexington have
petitioned the District Commission
ers to abandon the refuse dumping
station for street sweepings at
Fourth and S streets northeast. 1t
is to be hoped they may succeed in
their efforts. That dumping grounds
should be maintained in a city the
size Of Washington is one Of the I'M
explainable mysteries Of municipal
administration.
In their unceasing struggle
against disease, health officials In
all large cities have long since rec
ognized that dirt and uncleanliness
of all kinds is the strongest ally of
disease plaques. When the recent
infantile paralysis scourge broke out
in New York and began to make its
appearance here, we recall that the
District Commissioners on behalf of
the Health Department, urged resi-
dents Of the city to exercise the most
scrupulous care in seeing that their
premises and surroundings were
kept clean. There was a promise
that the health laws would be rigor-
ously enforced, and that persons who
disregarded the warnings to the ex-
tent of refusing to keep their back
yards clean, would be prosecuted.
And here comes along delegation
of citizens of lexington to plead
with the municipal authorities not Ia
continue maintaining a refuse pile
at their back doors. The fact, az
cited, that there are thirty children
residing in the block Immediately ad
jacent to the dump, should certainly
impress the authors of the infantil,
paralysis circular.

BETTER SUBURBAN STREET
LIGHTING NEEDED

Prominent in the recommendations
Of many citizens associations for in
clusion in the Commissioners esti-
mates this year are items for better
lighting of the outlying streets Of
Washington.
Only few years ago the principal
demand was for paving of streets,
and the paving program Of the past
few years has been SO comprehensive
that most of the. important thorough
fares have been provided for. But
these same streets, in many cases,
remain unlighted.
Modern street lighting systems,
like that placed on Pennsylvania
avenue southeast, east from Second
street, are distinct benefits to mer-
chants on these community business
streets, as we'll as being a convent
ence to residents. Their part in the
prevention of crime also is far from
negligible.
These community business streets
are more frequently made factor in
the evening traffic of their sections
by the presence of motion picture
houses. Such is the case with upper
Fourteenth street, with Pennsylva'
MIA avenue northwest, in the vicin'
ity of Washington Circle, and with
Eighth street southeast. Where
they may have been deserted in the
evenings a few years ago, they are
now busy scenes, more crowded with
pedestrians, in fact, than many Of
the downtown business streets
which are teeming with life in the
daytime.
The next few years should bring
modern lighting systems on all these
streets, and the communities about
them will profit measurably by the
improvements.

WHAT REALLY HAPPENED AT
chIhUAhUA7

The utter confusion in the public
and likewise in the official mind, re-
garding conditions In Mexico, has
never been better illustrated than in
the conflict Of reports about the re-
cent attack on Chihuahua City. Gen.
eral Bell has reported that the at
tack was engineered by Villa, that
Villa was there is person, that he
made q speech in public, that he
got away with a large amount OF
loot and large re-enforements OF
men. On the other hand this report
said to have been brought to Gen.
eral Bell by secret agents whom he
had in Chihuahua City at the time
of the attack, is discredited by
civilian and, it is to be added, by
some Of the military officials Of the
War Department. The truth seems
thus far to be very uncertain.
That the attack was made, and
that the constitutionalist forces were
taken by surprise, is not to be
doubted. Apparently there is nc
reason to doubt that General Ire,
vino. the constitutionalist com
mander, was caught mapping, ant
that his reputation as a soldier il
at stake. The report Of General Bel
is calculated to injure Trevino ant
to wreck all confidence in the mill
tary and administrative efficiency o.
the. constitutionalist government. Il
is useless to talk about turning ovel
to Carranza the whole business o.
maintaining order, guarding the Dor
der, and rehabilitating northern
Mexio, if the conditions indicated b,
General Bell actually surrounded tn,
Chihuahua affair. II is reported tina
the same insurgents that conductet
the raid on Chihuahua are planning
to repeat the performance at Tor
reon and Durango, just to prove tina
the Carranza government is not en-
titled to confidence, that it is no
established, and that an American
loan to it would be bad business.
Meanwhile the mystery Of tn,
Villa personality is as profound o.
ever. II Villa is rot alive and ex
tremely active, then certainly hi
soul-or whatever it is that bandi
uses in place Of a souls marchin,
on; also hopping about from plac
to place, and keeping something do
ing all the time. The chihuahua
performance was exactly character
istic Of Villa. The holiness of pro
claiming its purpose, and then ex
ecuting it according to promise
would hardly have been expecte
from any other than Villa. He ma
be, and doubtless is, a very bad PEI
son; but he has some ways abou
him that inspire a persistent ad
miration that cannot always be sur
pressed by reason of the undesirable
ity of other traits.
