Gardens in Fall.

This is the trying season for Wash
ington lawns and Hover gardens and
those who own them. Thousands of
the gardens are beautiful and bril-
liant, but others have slipped back
from the neat and prim appearance
which was theirs in spring and early
summer. There is more enthusiasm
among amateur gardeners in spring
than IN autumn. After a winter whom
SO n.Ueh of the time-and SO much
more time than necessary-has been
spen; indoors. most people have a
yearn.ng for the spade, hoe and rake
and for the perfume Of fresh turned
earth. As the season of growth goes
on the amateurs itch for the spade and
hoe sometimes. often, wanes. Other
interests come to the front. These in
terests may be tennis, golf. picnics,
base ball and vacation. The lawn and
Hover garden are loft to take care Of
themselves and few lawns and flower
gardens can do this and keep them
selves cropped and trimmed in that
way which 10 considered the best form
for gardens. Grass will grow tall and

90 to seed and Towering shrubs will
fall into untidy habits and sprawl
about the place. Weeds will come in
not only without invitation. but against
positive warnings to the contrary.
Then, in August, the very month in
which gardens are most apt to become
careless about how they look, nearly
everybody goes out Of town and leaves
the garden to shift for itself. very
much as many Indifferent or cruel per-
sons go off and leave the poor ola
house cat to forage for itself or starve.
But. with everybody back, or coming
back to town and with September, Oc
tober and November, three of the finest
months of the year ahead of us. it
might be fit ng to suggest that many
Wash nstonians toke fresh grip on
the grass cutter. the rake, the hedge
cl ppcrs and other tools and bring the
garden up to that standard which is
every gardens right, and a standard
which any garden Will live up to if its
owner lends it helping hand.

an idea of what is expected Of Amer
lea with the world restored to peace
basis, and what should be done to meet
that expectation. 1t is assumable that
Gen. Pershing is not a millennialist,
but a practical man, instructed both
by his reading and experience. and in
favor Of practical policies for the
future good of the country.
This question of preparedness and
of remaining prepared for whatever
he future may have in store for us
will when it comes up for debate and
settlement in Congress command very
wide and close attention. Our lack of
preparedness for the war just fought
chapter in our history which will al
ways lie read with mingled surprise
and regret. Nobody should want such
astory repeated; and the only way
to prevent repetition is by taking full
account of the present situation and
what it counsels, and then taking the
steps suggested.
America is not. and stands in no dan
ger of becoming. an armed camp. What
: proposed has not that object in view.
but only the support OF 2 military es-
t:blshment adequate for such times as
we have not seen befGe, and which
may press heavily upon us unless we
now provide the proper means of re-
sistance.

Gen. Pershing on Preparedness.

The military committees of Congress
will request Gen. Pershing to give his
views On two questions: % Universal
training as feature of preparedness
for war; and % the size and equip
ment of the Army for the peace times
that have been ushered in. From that
source they should hear much of in
terest on both questions.
Gen. Pershing is West Pointer. He
knows what training for war is. He
received the first of his when a lad.
He has spent his life in the Army. He
has mingled with and observed many
trained men, and at one time or an
other put many of them through their
PAGES. Nobody is better qualified to
appraise the value of teaching the
young idea how to shoot, so to say. A
knowledge gained in youth of what is
necessary to the making of soldier is
never forgotten, and is always of serv-
ice.
As to the second question, Gen.
Pershing will speak from knowledge
gained in the world war He had large
opportunities for observation He
commanded the largest force ever call
ed to the American colors. He was in
timately associated with foreign SOL
diers in command of forces OF unpre-
cedented size. He saw more than two
years of active service in the field.
He has been in Europe since the
armistice was signed, having to do with
reducing things to a peace basis, and
in position to hear much about general
peace plans. This must have given him

Ineffective Canards.

/ The canarders, or canardists, or
whatever they may be called, are work
ing more industriously than success
FULLY these days
1t was only short time ago they
asked the country to believe that the
President and Senator Hitchcock had
had tiff over the peace treaty, and
that. as result, Senator Swanson
would have charge of the treaty in the
| Senate. There was not the slightest
foundation for the yarn. and it was
speedily disposed of. Mr.. Hitchcock
: IS IN charge of the pact in the foreign
'':t.ons committee. and will be later
q, The open Senate. No differences as
! 10 the pact have existed at amy time
between the Nebraska senator and the
President.
Only the other day a report was put
! out that a difference over the treaty
had arisen between the President and
Col. House. and that. as a result, the
colonel had washed his hands of the
whole business. 1t was even stated
that the colonel might soon be ex-
pected in America, and when again
! home would remain; that he had had
enough and to spare Of his place as
guide. philosopher and friend to the
President.
This yarn has been as promptly put
to sleep as was the other. Col. House
enters denial from England. where he
is busy with matters connected with
the trea'v end in direct and frequent
imunication with the President.
The concocters Of the second story
overlooked. ifssthey knew about, the
situation in Texas. sThere is a revolt
within the democratic party Of the
Lone Star state, headed by former SEN
ator Bailey and former Representa-
tive Henry, against the administration,
and trial of strength between the two
factions will take place at the next
election. To say, therefore. that Col.
House had broken with the President
was to ally him with this movement.
As matter of fact, Col. House is
the main reliance of the administration
in this contest. HIS intimacy with the
President. and the prominent part he
has taken in national affairs ever since
Mr.. Wilson entered the White House,
have gwen him great influence in
Texas-greater than ever before,
though for years he has had much to
say about Texas politics. HIS activity
for others, and his freedom from all
self-seeking-never asking Office for
himself--have established for him a
strong hold on the rank and file of
Texas democrats.
st is mentioned in the news from
England that Col. House is in better
health than during last winter. when
his duties in Paris were very taxing,
and he found it necessary on more
than one occasion to "knock off" and
take little rest in bed

The Scope of the Conference.

General approval of the plan to as
semble representatives of capital and
labor in Washington this fall for a
conference to seek new footing Tor
wages and otherwise to adjust rela-
tions is expressed on both sides. 1t is
felt that from such conference much
good may flow. Assuredly no harm
can be done by thus getting together
for discussion of the situation and
the possible means of correcting it.
Three months ago The Star suggested
such conference to be held here at
an early date. 1t was then evident
that conditions demanded some sort of
settlement. The tendency OF wages
was high in excess OF reason and yet
there was discomfort. The industrial
foundations we're quaking under the
weight of costs. While the proposal
was generally approved, no move was
menace of a nation wide crisis to bring
about an authoritative call for me'-
ing between the employers and
employed.
There are those who read into the
situation menace of revolution, aris-
ing from the spread of what has come
to be known as bolshevism in this
country. There is, however, little to
justify such an apprehension. The
propagandists of red doctrines have
made but small progress here. Boil
shevism cannot thrive in the soil of in
telligence. The fact that it spread
rapidly in Russia and enabled few
radicals to seize the government was
due to the decidedly low degree of de-
velopment on the part of the Russian
people. The average American work
ingman is far too well educated to
be beguiled by schemes Of communism.
The only progress made has been
among the al en- population, already
more or less tinetured with the dan
gerous essence of bolsbevism.
Various plans for federation as a
cure for social cond tions in this eOun-
try will probably be pressed at the
conference. But they cannot be con-
templated as assured of results. The
immediate trouble lies IN the excessive
cost of living. The problem before the
conference will be to find some means
of effecting truce to increases of cost
through further wage advances while
administrative measures for curbing
and curing profteering are being ap-
piled and the natural economic laws
are being restored to operation.
This conference should not be re-
garded as congress to determine ma
sional policies respecting the future
treatment of utilities. 1t will fail Of
its primary object if it becomes mere
forum for debate. What is needed is a
practical analysis of the situation pres
ent and Immediately in prospect and
the adoption of some formula of wage
fixing that will meet the needs of the
workingmen without adding heavily
to the costs of production and hence
the cost of living

Passing the Price Peak.

Judge Ames of the Department of
Just ce, in charge OF the price and
profteering probe. says that the peak
of prices has been passed and that the
.H.dency is now downward. This is
a most welcome announcement. 1t
does not, however, follow that there
will be an immediate or pronounced
manifestation in the retail markets. 1t
takes some time for the reaction in
prices to reach the consumer. One of
the most familiar Of phenomena is the
slcwness with which the purchaser gets
the benefit Of falling prices at the
wholesale or producing end and the
rapidity with which he is affected by
any advance there.
just why the peak has been passed is
yet matter of speculation. There are
several factors that may possibly have
contributed. The release of large
stocks of food from storage may be
one. Indictments and threatened pun
shments for protiteer;ng may be an
other. The sale Of Army supplies may
he third But, as has been repeated
ly stated, there can be no permanent
improvement until production has in
creased, until the ordinary law of sup
ply and demand can operate. Tenn
porary relief is, of course, welcome,
and it is gratifying to know that the
present tendency of wholesale prices
S downward. Now the governmental
agencies that are at work should see
that the public surely gets the benefit
promptly of the fall in wholesale rates.
