SOLONS PLANNING
TO VISIT EUROPE

Between now and the opening OF
the extra session, which, It is gener-
| ally expected, will begin in May or
early June, a number Of Senators and
House members hope to visit Europe
and obtain hrst-hand ideas about
conditions.
Just who will go is not yet settled,
as members cannot make plans until
they know with some definiteness
what is to be the program with re-
spect to calling the new Congress
together.
The fact that members are plan
ming to go abroad to get a near view
of things means that the extra ses-
sion of Congress is going to take on
added interest. One of the subjects
which will be pretty we'll explored
by any that go over will be the real
feeling in France and England and
elsewhere about the League Of Ma
tions. Conditions in the army will
also be examined into. The result
will be that when the extra session
opens, il present plans are carried
out, there will be men in both
branches of Congress who will have
up-to-date aSvices on European con-
ditions and will not be dependent on
what filters through from official
sources.

COL. LEWIS AGAIN
CITED FOR BRAVERY

Lieut.. Col. Evan z. Lewis, OF Wash
ington, Is cited by General Pershing
today In orders released from the
War Department for extraordinary
heroism in action near Beaumont
France, on November 6, and he has
been given q bar to be worn on his
distinguished service cross ribbon,
which he was awarded for bravery
near Marcheville, France, on Septem-
Der 26. This Is equal to a second
cross.
Colonel Lewis, who lived with his
wife at West Wardman Courts, has
been promoted from his majority
since he was first cited. He Is in the
1929 Infantry, q part OF the famous
Yankee Division (TWenty-sixth), /,
which fought so hard for victory in
the Argonne forest. Colonel Lewis
has been overseas since January, 1917,
and fought at Chateau Thierry, where
he was gassed on July %. He now
wears two gold service stripes and
one gold wound stripe.
Lewis was first cited for display
ing great bravery and rare initiative
when being second in command of
assaulting troops, he reorganized
scattered units under terrific artil-
lery and machine gun IRE. He also
established and organized positions
In depth, set up liaison from front to
rear, and in hand-to-hand fighting
personally led his men, inspiring in
them q confidence and tenacity Of
purpose which were productive Of
success.
The seond citation reads: Lieut..
Col. Lewis commanding his regiment.
personally led his men In advance OF
his front line under heavy artillery
and machine gun fire and gained the
absolute confidence Of hiS troops By
ness.
Lewis graduated from West Point
in 1907 and saw service in the Philip
pines and Mexico.

.DEBATEFORM OF.
YANKS' MEMORIAL

What form the proposed memorial
to American soldiers shall take is to-
day still an unsettled question in
Washington.
Col. Robert N. Harper, advocate Of
the plan for an arch OF triumph, and
Mrs. Henry F. Dfmock, sponsor for
the George Washington memorial, to
commemorate both the boys OF rs
'and those Of the world war. were
heard in an interesting debate last
night at the War Camp Community
Service Hall. 912 Tenth street north
west.
Colonel Harper warmly defended
his plan for the proposed memorial
arch, declaring the country does not
want to see an institution erected in
memory of its heroes which may
later take on the aspects of a COM
mercial building. Mrs. Dimock,
whose plan of a George Washington
memorial, contemplates the erection
OF a museum and library in connec
tion with memorial pillars, was ear
nest in the argument that this is tn,
time to erect a suitable memorial to
George Washington, to the heroes Of
the revolutionary war and to the men
who fought against Germany.
Il do not want to see the erection
OF the George Washington memorial
consummated by linking it with the
sympathy attaching to the boys Of
1917" asserted Colonel Harper
This proposition has been so fa-
a failure, and we don't want a COM
mercial memorial to be pulled
through by the sentiment existing to-
Gay for a monument to commemorate
the deeds Of our boys in France.
I'VE built the Washington monu-
ment in commemoration OF the free
dom OF a nation; we built the Lin.
coin Memorial to commemorate tha
freedom Of a people, and now we
should build an arch Of triumph to
commemorate the freedom OF the
world. These other structures were
erected by Congress, and 1t Is fitting
that this same course should be pur-
sued in this instance"

HARD AFTER
RECKLESS DRIVERS

Believing that the number Of trafnc
accidents can be reduced BY the con,
slant enforcement OF the trafic reg
ulations and the arrest Of all persons
violating them. Major Raymond W.
Pullman, superintendent Of police, IN
. bulletin to the members Of his com
mand today ordered the police to az.
rest the speeding and reckless automo-
bile drivers.
''The police are after the reckless
driver" Major Pullman said. ~he IL
the public's enemy. The police can
check accidents only by the constant
enforcement Of the traffic regulations
and promptly arresting reckless drfv-
ers. The apprehension Of more than
two to four score speed maniacs dur
ing each day shows that in spite Of
all that has been said in the street
safety campaign. there are many
thoughtless people who persist In en-
dangering their lives as well as
others in reckless driving.
The two colored men were slightly
injured early today, when the auto
mODlle IN WHICH Lney were riding
overturned at Forty-first and Daven-
port streets northwest. The men are
Hugh Wilson, Of 204 F street north
west and George Harris, a soldier
stationed at Camp Leach.
Wilson. who was driving the car,
the police say, lost control Of the ma
chine, causing IL to overturn- Both
men were pinned under the machine.
They refused hospital treatment and
were able to go to their homes un-
assisted.
The automobile OF Senator John B.
Kendrick OF Wyoming was slightly
damaged last night when IL collided
at New Hampshire avenue and o
street northwest with an automobile
operated by Frank D. Roach, OF 3400
Ninth street northeast
Losing control OF his automobile
near Fourteenth and Harvard streets
last night, the machine OF
H. W. EImore, 712 Sixth street north
west, crashed into the front porch OF
the residence Of William p. Richards,
assessor for the District, Of 1887 Har-
ward street northwest Both the au-
tomobiIe and the porch were damaged,
but Elmore escaped injury.

Who Benefits by High Prices?

You feel that retail meat prices are too
high.
Your retailer says he has to pay higher
prices to the packers.
Swift & Company prove that out of
every dollar the retailer pays to the
packers for meat, 2 cents is for packers
profit, IS cents is for operating expenses,
and IS cents goes to the stock raiser; and
that the prices Of live stock and meat
move up and down together.
The live stock raiser points to rising
costs of raising live stock.
Labor reminds us that higher wages
must go hand in hand with the new cost
M of living
No one, apparently, is responsible. No
one, apparently, is benefited by higher
prices and higher income.
We are all living on a high-priced scale.
One trouble is, that the number of dollars
has multiplied faster than the quantity of
goods so that each dollar buys less than
formerly.
