GOODBYE, WAR WORKER
Admission That Washington Will
Miss Merry Throng, Coupled
With Reminescence.
Dear Miss War Worker:

Dear Miss War Worker:
Yes, we will feel a bit lonesome
when we begin to miss your bright,
cheerful face on + street after 4:3o.
But you must not feel too badly
because you may not have been well
coined with the degree of enthusiasm
that you expected. You should re-
member that we have been through
it all before. There was another
great war which filled the streets OF
the city with the faces of young war
workers who came. as you did, in
spircd with the zeal to help. Some of
them stayed. Shall we say that they
stayed too long?
We have watched them through the
years since that. now distant. time
when they came filled with the en-
thusiams and ambitions of youth. Wo
watched the enthusiasm and the light
of ambition fade from their faces. We
watched their backs take, on that
peculiar stoop that comes sooner or
later to the desk worker. The step
lost it's elasticity and became the pc
culiar shuttle that accompanies tho
daily effort to reach desk, in the
morning. kitchen range, in the even
ing, on time. They rose. ate, work ed.
ate and slept again, by the clock.

Congress Likely to
Amend Sundry Bill
To Suit President
NoaU York Tribune
IVoshin1tOn Bureau

WASHINGTON, July 12.-The veto
ing of the sundry civil expense appro-
priation bill by the President to-day
was a surprise to Congress.
When the message Of disapproval
was received by the House a brief de-
bate followed, after which Chairman
Good of the Appropriations Committee
moved that the bill be referred to the
committee for further consideration.
The committee Immediately took up
the matter, but reported just before
the House adjourned that it had not
arrived at a decision.
The general. opinion seemed to be
that Congress would quickly amend
the bill as desired by the President,
though it was suggested by Senator
Moses that it might be advisable SIM
ply to strike out the rehabilitation
section and return the bill thus
amended to the President, leaving the
subject matter of the eliminated sec
tion to be considered as separate legis-
lation. Senator Kenyon characterized
the veto as an appeal for the soldier
vote, though he was strong advocate
Of larger appropriation when the bill
was before the Senate. The view was
expressed by Republican members of
the House that for political reasons
they could not afford to oppose the
veto.

League Means Trouble
For Z. S., Says johnson
Senator, in Springfield address,
Says america Is Pledged to-
Maintain World's Status Quo

SPRINGFIELD, Mass, July 12.-Sen-
ator Hiram W. Johnson, of California,
in an attack on the league OF nations
here tonight declared the league of
nations promises peaces to America
only upon the condition that this coun-
try shall guarantee the status quo Of
the rest Of the world
Senator johnson repeatedly asserted
that Article X, which has been de-
described by its advocates as the
"heart" Of the league covenant, was
designed solely to preserve for all time
existing governments and their terri
torial integrity.
How can any man of liberal views
agree to Article X ~ he asked. when /
speak of men Of liberal views l mean
those whose hearts throb in unison with
humanity; those who believe a govern
ment's obligation is first to men and
women and children
"The section freezes the world into
immutability. 1t arrogates to those of
us who are here to-day a knowledge
superior to that of all those who shah
come hereafter 1t makes the present
generation decide the fate of all future
generations. 1t takes no heed of new
world events, of ever changing adj
vances and progress. It assumes to-
day to be the end, and that the men of
to-day may write the history of to-
morrow 1t assumes to put the world
in a straitjacket, wherein there can
be no movement for betterment or
progress or humanity. But beyond and
above all this, the maintenance of the
static condition can be accomplished by
the blood of just one nation, and that
| is ours"
Senator Johnson said that he otter.
ated and reiterated" that the league OF
nations pledges Americans to place
their sons under European and Asiatic
command in European and Asiatic dis.
putes, controversies and wars.
"The advocate Of the league of ma
lions who denies this" he declared, "is
either ignorant, or what is worse. en-.
deavors to deceive his people"
Referring to the amendment said Il
protect the Monroe Doctrine, Senator
johnson asserted it was obvious thi.
clause was intended to subject the Doc
trine to the Interpretation of the other
powers.
"The moment this is DONE" Senator
Johnson said, "the Monroe Doctrine i,
destroyed" He added that if an Amer
lean wrote this amendment to protec
the Monroe Doctrine "his affection fo1
1T was tepid and his allegiance feeble.

coast, over the Baltic and return. The
trip was made in fifty-six hours. No
accident occurred, although consider
able delay was entailed in landing,
owing to high winds, which prevented
a safe approach to the aerodrome near
Edinburgh.
AS soon as the Germans indicated
that they would sign the Admiralty
turned the R-34 over to the Air Min
preparation for an immediate start.
The getaway was made safely
Wednesday morning, July 2, at 1:42
y. m. Greenwich mean time (9:42 p. m.
Tuesday, New York time). The diri-
Rible followed the Clyde, then struck
westward across the Irish Sea and,
skirting the north coast of Ireland
sailed out on her great adventure.
The course westward was maintained
without difficulty and steady progress
was made with only three Of her five
engines in service, despite heavy head
winds that were encountered all along
the route. Off Newfoundland these
threatened for time to cause diff
fculty for the airship, but by skirting
the storm to the north Major Scott,
commander, succeeded in reaching and
passing Newfoundland without mishap.
Continuous battling with adverse
winds had, however, depleted the re-
serve stocks Of petrol aboard the ship
and by the time the dirigible had
passed Nova Scotia and was approach
ing the Maine coast calls for help
began to come out by radio. The
United States destroyer Bancroft
rushed to the aid Of the airship. but
after the dirigible got away from The
currents near the Bay of Fundy she
made better progress and finally sue
ceeded in fighting her way along .un-
aided to her scheduled landing place
at Roosevelt Field, Mineola, Long
Island, at 10 a. M, July 6.
Ship Records Eclipsed
The balloon covered 5000 nautical
miles in the flight in 108 hours and
IL minutes, or at an average speed of
291a knots an hour.
The dirigible was threatened with
disaster within twenty-four hours after
her arrival, when strong winds threat
ened on July to tear her from her
mornings. In the course of the struggle
to prevent her blowing out to sea, q
large rip was torn in the ships en-
velope.
After some delay the R-34 took off
on her return trip to England at As SO
p. m. Wednesday, July g., and after
circling over Manhattan for an hour
che struck out to sea. The return trip
was made without delay, though the
breakdown of one of the engines forced
the commander to call on his two re-
serve engines.
BY making the westward journey in
10S hours the R-34 beat the fastest
rail and steam time between East For
tune and New York by more than
fourteen hours. If she completes the
return journey in seventy hours, as
seemed probable late last night, she
will have cut the time of old-fashioned
rapid transit almost in half.
