throwing it into the range Of COM

await that ruling will not preclude
eventual investigation, If one appears
needful.
It is most unfortunate that there
should be at present a ferment in the
school system, inescapably lessening
efficiency and distracting attention
from the fundamental work of teach
ing. The teachers have proved them
selves loyal to the service during the
trying period Of the war, when they
were under strong temptation to leave
for better compensation than that per-
mitted under the inadequate appropria-
tons granted by Congress. They
labored nobly against handicaps Of
badly heated buildings, greatly in
creased classes and disease. They earn
ed the warmest praise Of the people. 1t
is depforable that an issue should arise
between them and the board. The hope
is that this issue can be settled with
out further friction.

terms. They were to be held by Italy
as hostage for the fulfillment Of the
terms when concluded, and to prevent
their use by the Balkan allies as a
base of operations. The Greek island
ers at once addressed themselves to
the Italian commander, expressing the
hope that he would represent to his
government the justice of return Of
the islands to Greek sovereignty, but
no step was taken at Rome to this end,
and the islands have been tenaciously
held since and were by the treaty Of
London assigned to Italy permanently.
Textually, Italy had right to insist
upon their retention. The fact that
claim to them is abandoned may de-
note a purpose on Italy's part to de-
part from rigid insistence upon the full
fillment of the London treaty, under
which, to her great present embarrass-
ment, Fiume was accorded to the
Jugoslavs. If save as respects the
northern irredenta the London treaty
is put aside and the issues of the
Adriatic are settled upon the princi-
pie of differentiation, as is evil
dent to be the case of the Dodecanese,
way out of the whole problem may
be found without grave trouble.

Call for a Wrecking Crew.

Fifty years ago this week The Star
expressed, through an editorial repro
duced today, its vigorous disapproba-
ton Of a threatening readiness on the
part Of the government to disfgure the
District parks by the erection Of tenn
porary governmental structures. The
plan was abandoned and the beauty Of
Washington's public grounds rendered
temporarily secure. During the in
terval between that period and the dec
laration Of war between the United
States and Germany, the sporadic ten
dency to sacrifice permanent beauty to
temporary convenience has been ap-
propriately dealt with. The exigencies
Of the situation upon the entry Of this
country into the world war were gen.
orally regarded as warrant for the ma
tional and local sacrifices entailed in
abandoning sections of the parks to
the purpose indicated. Offices Of vary
ing degrees of Temperatures but uni
form unsightliness sprang up with
mushroom-like suddenness, and have
been patiently endured as a war sacri-
fee. With the emergency passed the
temporary structures should be re-
moved as rapidly as possible. Certain
Of the buildings upon the public lands
were erected without the required sane
ton Of Congress. The departments
concerned will, it may be assumed, re-
ward the willing endurance of Wash
ington during the war with a prompt
evidence Of their good faith in the
form of wrecking and salvaging crews.

"The Last Shall Be First"

There is a distinct feeling of graft
fication that NC-4, which was the last
of the seaplanes to reach Trepassey
for the hop-off on the transatlantic
flight, should be the first to reach the
Azores objective. When that machine
became disabled in the flight to Ire
passey fear was felt lest it should not
be able to start on the great race.
Now she lands well ahead Of her COM
panion planes, proving that her ini-
tial misfortune was not a disabling
handicap. The plane is a delicate ma
chine, but is easily adjusted in the
hands Of skilled men, and it is salts
flying to hail the laggard of the start
as the winner Of the first honors.

School Friction.

1t is doubtful whether any good end
will be served by the immediate open
ing Of an investigation into local
school matters by the Senate Dis
trict committee, as now proposed.
The specific question at issue relates
to the action Of the board Of education
in suspending teacher for alleged i'm
proper remarks before class, without
granting her a formal trial. That
question has been taken before the
court and probably will soon be heard
and answered, so far as the right of
the board to take such action is con.
cerned. If the boards right under the
law to administer discipline short Of
dismissal without trial is denied by the
court the case automatically reverts to
the board for revised procedure. IF il
is confirmed those who hold that the
board should not possess such 9. power
but that all disciplinary penalties, OF
whatever degree, should be imposed
after trial, must seek change Of law
which can be had only by appeal to
Congress. In that case an inquiry into
the whole situation will be not only
desirable, but necessary.
It would seem, therefore, that, hsv
ing elected to test the boards power
directly by an appeal to the court
those who take issue with the treat.
nent Of this now complex and trouble
some case Of school discipline should
for the present stand by their choice
and permit the court to rule without
further eomplieating the matte. b

Retirement Legislation.

Renewal Of efforts to secure the en-
aetment Of q civil retirement law by
the next Congress is assured. Work
has been started ON q revision Of the
measure which commands the greatest
degree of support in the two houses,
and there is an excellent prospect of
early consideration.
The practical necessity Of some form
Of departmental retirement is now gen.
orally recognized by members Of Con-
gress, who no longer view the question
with prejudice against any form Of
civil pension. This change of attitude
is chiefly due to the iterated pleas Of
department and bureau chiefs for the
adoption of a system that will permit
systematic promotions by providing fol
the retirement on competence of those
who have grown old in the service.
The cost to the government of such
= system will be small, compared to the
gain in clerical efficiency. Practically
all other large employers in this coun
Try have adopted pension plans and
have found them invaluable in main
tanning their forces upon a plane Of
high productiveness. The United State.
Is virtually the only, as it is the larg
est, employer DENYING to veterans il
service the privilege of retirement
even upon the basis of contributor
participation in the cost. This reproacl
should be wiped away by action at thu
present session.

The Presidents Return.

So far as his party plans are con-
cerned, the absence of the President
during the first weeks Of the congress
sional session will not be important.
They will be devoted to the delayed
supplies; and that subject does not in
terest him beyond the desire that the
supplies be voted in time-before the
close Of the fiscal year.
It is when the Senate takes up the
peace treaty, and, later, when both
Senate and House begin to occupy
themselves with questions Of recon
struction, that the President will want
to be close to base-will want to be
on hand to take part in the discussion
whenever he thinks occasion calls.
More distinctly and dominantly than
any man since Jackson, Mr.. Wilson is
the leader Of the democratic party. 1t
is not an exaggeration to say that he
has largely shaped its whole record
for the past six years. Congress has
not only obeyed him, but even solicited
his direction. And outside Of congress
sional affairs he has given by request
many an opinion on party matters to
local party managers.
The great test will come next year ;
and what Congress shall do or leave
undone in the coming twelve months
will count for much in the shaping of
the next presidential campaign.
The President may or may not stand
for another term. At present that ques-
ton is for him to decide. There are
powerful influences within his party
busy with purposes looking to his third
nomination. If he says the word there
will be NO opposition, although there
are democrats who now, and will then,
regard the proposition as unwise.
But even If he calls off the more
jealous Of his friends, and announces
an adherence to the old doctrine of
two terms and no more, the President
will still want to have the deciding
voice in all important moves Of his
party in Congress. He will want his
successor to be democrat, and to
feel indebted to him for material help
in the triumph at the polls.
Even if it should be the middle of
June, or later in the month, the Presi-
dents return will answer his purpose.
As he will bring the peace treaty with
him, the Senate cannot consider that
matter until it is formally submitted;
and as for the more important of the
features Of reconstruction, they can
not be fashioned for some months yet.
Investigations must be made, and
many things balanced, one against an
other, before legislation can be safe
" entered upon.

The Future of Overseas Flight.

Yesterdays demonstration of the
practicability of overseas flying is un.
doubtedly one of the direct results OF
the great war. The conflict fastened
the development of the airplane and
made possible its early application to
other uses than mere entertainment
1t was in the course Of the war, indeed
that airplane mail service was started
in this country and regularly main.
tanned.
In applying the lessons learned in
the use of heavier than-air machines in
war work there has been little or nc
departure from the fundamentals OF
the initial construction. Engines have
been increased and a greater carrying
capacity has been developed. The
planes that yesterday few to the Azores
are virtually identical in principle
with those that were used before the
war in "stunt" flights for public di.
version.
How far the plane can be carried in
its development remains to be demon
strated. Theoretically there is no limit
to its expansion in power. carrying
: capacity and endurance. Practically
there is probably limit. Yet so great
have been the advances in the past five
years that it would seem that no bar
rier exists to prevent the development
Of the large passenger-carrying plane,
capable of crossing the sea in perhaps
two days and maintaining high aver
age of dependability.
In the course of overseas flying ac-
cidents will probably happen and
planes will fall. Then will come the
test of their practicability as COM
lpercial carriers. If they can be made
large enough to rest upon the surface
securely while repairs are completed
they will have proved themselves. In
future overseas flying there will be no
strings Of ships to serve as guards.
Each plane must care for itself. It
must be its own fuel supply station,
its own guide, it's own repair outfit. It
must master all weather conditions. It
must fly fast enough to reduce to a
Minimum the chances Of mishap.
q. At. seventy-eight knots an hour the
.NC-4 made Horta in about fifteen
hours and q quarter. Faster fight is
possible, though not for long chops"
by such planes as those that have just
crossed. II the heavy planes neces-
eary for long flights can be speeded
to- 100 miles an hour the two-day run
straightaway without an island stop
will be entirely practicable. But SEIZED.
ules for overseas passenger service are
not yet being arranged. There is still
much to be done to bring the plane to
the point Of dependable ocean flying
fer transportation purposes. Yet yes
ferday's performance measurably
brings that stage nearer.

{ Italy Yields the Dodecanese.

An awkward difficulty involved in
the adjustment Of Italy's claims has
been solved, according to a dispatch
from Paris, by withdrawal Of all con-
tention for possession Of the Dodeca-
nese, or twelve islands lying off the
coast of. Smyrna, ranging northward
from Rhodes. These islands, occupied
almost exclusively by Greeks and long
under Turkish dominion, were pro-
v,sionally turned over to Italy by Tur-
key upon the outbreak of the first
Balkan, war in 1912, before Italy and
Turkey had concluded. their peace
