would appear that while New Mex
leo, Alabama, Vermont and nearly
every other state in the Union knows
of the war memorials committee of the
Federation of Arts, the headquarters
| of which are in this city, the District
does not. 1t would not be difficult to
reach this source of information ano
advice. The memorials committee has
an abundance of suggestions that can
not fail to be helpful.
Washington should have the best in
every line. 1t should have the benefit
Of the most artistic talent and the
Isoundest advice. These matters are not
to be lightly considered. A medal or
a tablet is permanent thing and even
a temporary decoration makes per-
manent record through pictorial repre-
sentation. Artistic creations are not
necessarily expensive. The advice of
tho Commission of Fine Arts and the
war memorials committee of the Fed
Grafton Of Arts is to be had free, and
assuredly Washington should no longer
ignore these authoritative sources of
direction in the selection of designs of
q public nature.

Another Border Attack.

Another instance of attack upon
American soldiers by Mexicans is re-
ported from Laredo, Tex. Two avia-
tors Of the American Army were fired
upon by squad of Mexicans, supposed
ly federal soldiers, and one of them
was wounded. The aviators were on
the American side Of the line. The
attack was made near a point at which
an outpost Of Mexican federal troops
is known to have been located.
This is simply the latest of a series
of aggressions and annoyances and in
juries that apparently will not be end
ed until drastic action is taken. If
these occurrences continue American
patience will surely be exhausted. 1t
is now strained to the breaking point.
Carranza's statement in Mexico City
the other day, including declaration
that he did not and would not recog-
nize the Monroe doctrine, is not cal
culated to improve the situation. The
counter charge which he advances that
Mexicans have been subjected to in
dignities and injuries in the United
States is obviously intended to be-
cloud the issue of the incompetence Of
Mexican administration.
The difference between the cases
that Carranza instances and those that
are continually occurring in Mexico in
which Americans arc injured is funda-
mental. In no case has Mexican been
injured on this soil because of policy
of annoyance and reprisal. These sn-
stances have been individual, doubt
less arising in some degree from the
animosity that has been caused by the
outrages committed in Mexico upon
Americans. In every case it is pos
sible for the American government to
make reparation where actual injury
has been inflicted and injustice per-
petrated. The same is not true of the
government at Mexico City.
The attack upon the aviators near
Laredo appears to have been wanton
and inexcusable. The men were flying
over American territory and were at
tackled without warning or warrant
If their assailants were Mexican fed
eral soldier the case is serious. If
they were bandits the Mexican gov
eminent will doubtless resort to its IA
miliar plea of inability to prevent out
laws from committing outrages. 1t
may be that the lack Of positive identi-
fication will prevent this case from
precipitating the issue which cannot be
indefinitely averted.

The Nelson Signal.

The climax of the effort to secure
the proper attendance of members on
the proceedings of the House was
reached yesterday when Representa-
tive Blanton of Texas asked for a
quorum to hear the ehaplain's prayer
A quorum was secured and the peti-
tion offered.
Abscnteeism is an old complaint, and
has been made in many Congresses. A
number of remedies have been sug-
,.ested for cure, but none has ever been
tried
--O One remedy was the calling of the
roll at the beginning of each days ses-
son. ihs would show the absentees,
md give THE folks back home" infor-
faatol that could be used if consid-
cred important 1T the next election. 1t
wo3ld be certain to cure chronic alb
-s~.at.cism. The reply, however, was
that Z member might present himself
y 1T roll call for registration purposes
;nd then retire and neglect the whole
business of the day.
Another remedy suggested was that
no leaves of absence be granted ex-
sept upon specific statements by those
:ppIying. Illness must be a fact es,
.lsblished. Illness in the applicants
iamily also must be established, while
= request for leave to attend to private
business must state the business and
he length of time necessary to trans
oct it. The reply was that these re
elements touched too intimately on
personal affairs, besides rejecting on
TIE veracity of members.
The complaint continues. No rem.
mas been found. None may be

within reach. The matter seems to
rest upon the appeals of the leaders
to the rank and file to take an inter
est in all measures and "show up" at
all sessions. These appeals have been
! made in the present House. Both Mr..
Nondcll and Mr.. Clark have urged
Their respective followers to regular,
prompt, and full attendance; to come
early and stay late, and see all public
business through.
Certainly such appeals have never
been better justified than now. There
is not single matter at present in
hand, or soon to be in hand, which
has not strong claim on attention.
Reconstruction applies to many things,
and to some things Of very great i'm
portance.
The people do not want, and would
not benefit by, legislation by a minor
ity, or by default. They want every
thing done in order, and by the order
of those they have commissioned for
the work
The record of the present Congress
as respects the attendance of members
on proceedings is quite up to the aver
age, but because of the times and the
new issues they have brought it should
be improved to the point whore ap-
pcals would be unnecessary and criti-
cism completely disarmed. The Mel
son signal is flying. The nation ex-
poets every legislator to do his duty.

The Districts War Memorials.

Commission of Fine Arts has been
established by law to serve as an ad-
visory body in matters of public art.
II is the governments own consulta-
tion authority, given special duties to
perform in respect to sites, designs,
constructions and park development.
Since the armistiee was signed it has
been consulted by communities seek
ing advice and direction in the mat
ter of designing and placing war me-
MORALS. The government depart
ments, with projects of their own for
medals, tablets and other forms Of me-
MORALS for those who fought in the
war, have sought the advice of the
| commission and have been aided by
! its suggestions. The District of CO.
| lumbia, however, has not done so.
! When the medal for the Districts serv-
ice men, presented on the Fourth of
July, was designed, the Commission Of
Fine Arts was not approached. Now
! the District government workers are
planning a tablet in memory of the
men of that organization who fell in
the service and again the Commission
of Fine Arts is ignored. In the plans
: for the grand review and the erection
/ of victory arches the commission is
once again forgotten and no advantage
is taken of the opportunity to consult
it with reference to design or place
ment.
This is a rather peculiar record and
one that should not be extended. It

SHbscriution Rate by Mall
The Police Union Issue.

An acute issue between the COmmls-
Aoners and the police force over the
question of the latter's form OF or
ganization is most undesirable and IS
furthermore unnecessary. As the mat
ter now stands the Commissioners,
taking eognizance of the fact that the
policemen have formed q union affili-
ated with the national labor organiza-
ton, have given notice, at first IN
formally and then yesterday definitely
and officially, that such affiliation will
not be permitted and that members of
the force who do not abandon 1t will
be dismissed. 1t is intimated that the
organization will be maintained and
certain statutes invoked to oppose the
Commissioners ruling, to the end OF
compelling them to permit the union
to continue in its affiliated relation
ship.
There is more in this than the mere
form of organization. 1t involves the
question of allegiance on the part of
the police. The Commissioners hold
that a municipal employe such as a
policeman must be subject to but one
authority, and that authority the local
governing body. 1t is evident that
any divided allegiance through afilia-
fion with a national labor body makes
for confusion and may easily make
also for failure of discipline in body
the effectiveness of which rests square
ly upon the maintenance of authority.
1t is urged in behalf of the union
that the policemen have joined it, with
its powerful affiliation, in order to Sc
cure better pay and conditions. 1t is
not necessary that the policemen of
the District should seek relief from
their poor scale of compensation by
such a method. The matter lies with
Congress. The Commissioners have
asked for more pay for the police
force, and will assuredly get it If the
ease is not embarrassed by the sug-
gestion of coercion which is inevitably
involved in form of organization that
carries with it the possibility of the
strike as a means of securing better
ment
The chance of police strike is not
SO remote as might appear from state
ments that are made by members of
the local organization. In some other
cities the strike plan has been ad-
taneed, though not yet carried into
affect A police strike is unthinkable
short of the collapse of authority in
municipal administration. Police duty
is one of the essentials. A city with
out a police force is at the mercy of
disorder and crime, and without ques-
ton if any move were made toward
refusal to work extraordinary measures
would be adopted.
1t would be most unfortunate if the
policemen of the District prejudice
their case for higher pay and better
conditions by resistance of authority,
or resort to litigation to compel recog
pition of form of organization that
IL not required by their necessities and
that is under the ban of the municipal
administration. They have a splendid
record and constitute most efficient
force, and it would be deplorable if
ROW they should be precipitated into
a conflict that cannot possibly aid
them

conclusion. Consideration has been
given to new burdens in connec-
ton with entertainment, athletic
activities and education that you
have assumed. I have accord
ingly given directions that army
units themselves take over and
operate their own post exchanges.
In making this change permit me
to thank you for the very valuable
services and assistance which the
Y. M. c. A. has rendered to the
American Expeditionary Force in
handling these exchanges. Handi-
capped by shortage Of tonnage and
land transportation the Y. NJ. c. A.
has, by extra eYertf6n, served the
army better than could have been
expected, and you may be assured
that its aid has been a large fac
tor in the final great accomplish

Very cordially yours.

Asserting that the valuable aid rem

c. A. had been a large factor in the
final great accom- lishments Of the
American army, General Pershing, in
a communication to Z. C.. Carter, In

pays a splendid tribute to the work
which this agency accomplished under
extreme difficulties and handieaps.
THE Y. NJ. C. A. served the army bet
ter than could have been expected"
says General Pershing.
At its own request the American Y.
NJ c. A. has been relieved from main
tanning post exchanges with the Ez-
peditonary forces overseas, the need
for such service having been relieved
with the signing of the armistice. Cor
respoudeuce exchanged between Cen

charge of the Y. NJ c. A. with the
army, resulted in this deci ion. Car.
ter wrote to General Pershlas January
18th as follows:
Dear General Pershing:
A year and a hah ago you re-
quested the Y. M. c. A. to under
take operations for post exchanges
for the American Expe1tioua1y
Forces in order that Officers and
enlisted men may not be taken
away for that purpose from their
pSramount military functions OF
training and fighting"
As soon as hostiliGes ceased We
raised with you the question
whether time had not come for tHe
Y NJ. c. a. to be relieved OF tie
operation OF post exchanges in
view Of the fact that there was no
longer the same pressing demand
on man power of the army for
