AT LoEW'ZS BIJOU

The new bill at Loew's Bijou, presented
yesterday to capacity audiences proved
decidedly entertaining. and every act
was given a good reception. Headline
honors were scored by Irene Cassini and
company, who present a one-act comedy
farce of the rapid fire variety. The two
principals are decidedly clever and their
nut" comedy produced many laughs.
Harry c. Green is also bright spot
on the BILL notwithstanding the fact that
he presented his act in blackface. His
''Cross it Off monologue is original and
his songs scored heavily. A pleasing and
classy number is that of Bud Sheppard
and Elenor OFT, a versatile couple of
cabaret fame. They offer an artistic re-
vue of songs, pianologue and bright chat

Stone and Mitchell open the bill with
a lively dance number and introduce

Cleaning Up.

Spring is not only q season for gath
ering violets and picking the May
flowers or trailing arbutus as we call
the shy and fragrant little plant in
this part of the world. It is also the
season for beating carpets and rugs,
raking up the back yard and front
lawn, clearing out the cellar and the
garret and making home spick and
span. This is highly important work,
Notwithstanding the discomfort which
it infiicts ON a certain member Of the
family who never seems to be keenly
interested in housekeeping and house
cleaning. But he is an unimportant
member of the household, and there is
no particular reason why he should be
considered. As matter of fact he
seldom is considered. It is his fate
and he expects it.
While the house and back yard and
front lawn are getting their annual
renovation the wise and tidy people
of the neighborhood ought not to over
look the back lot or the vacant lot, or
the bit of common that too often be-
comes the junk pile of the neighbor-
hood. Get together and clean it up
also! A tidy neighborhood adds to the
comfort and happiness of everybody
and his visitors, and also adds to the
property value Of everybody's holdings.

Volunteer Street Cleaners.

Another draft on the volunteer
spirit of District people is being made
today. Loyal men are working on the
streets without pay and without other
reward than the thanks and apprecia-
tion of their fellow citizens. Failure
Of Congress at its last session to pass
the appropriations to carry on street
cleaning made impossible the proper
care of the streets by the District au-
thorities during the last two months,
and today 600 men, most of whom are
employees of the District government
and members of the City Employees
Association, are cleaning up the streets
that they may be spick and span for
Easter. The men are not only put
ting in a full and hard days work for
the pleasure of doing it, but some of
them are sacrificing the days pay
which they would have earned had
they not volunteered for this clean
up job. Their fellow citizens salute
them!

Parks and Buildings.

In the act appropriating $3.50, 900 for
the construction in Washington of a
military hospital was the provision
that it should be erected on land al
ready owned by the government. The
public health service, which will main
tain the series of hospitals for dis
abled soldiers, has been casting around
for site for the Washington hospital
and has thrown out the suggestion
that the grounds of the Soldiers Home
would be an eligible location. That
is true, and there is some appropriate
relation between the proposed site and
the building. The erection Of this hos
pital on government ground is not on
all fours with the erection of public
Office buildings, but there is about this
matter a familiar sound that govern
ment park land is the place for gov
ernment buildings. "Get the appro-
priation for a building-never mind
about an appropriation for the site
the building can be set up in a park." "
That is a common and much too COM
mon attitude toward parks. Parks are
parks. They have their uses as parks
and their usefulness increases as the
years pass and population increases.
Parks are not proper places for gov
ernment buildings. It is easier to buy
sites for buildings than to create parks
for the people. No prophet will be
bold enough to forecast when the shack
structures set up on the Mall, Union
Station plaza and in Potomac Park be-
cause of the stress Of war will be re-
moved. But they should be cleared of
the public land as soon as possible.

the only answer statesmen of the world
will vouchsafe, though they hope that
through economic dependency the
smaller and troublesome nations Of
the continent may be controlled.
No better illustration of the situa-
tion among the smaller countries can
be given than that of Czechoslovakia

the Czechs are approaching Poland /;

future friction between Rumania and
Serbia. Greece's claims in Macedonia
and to all of Thrace overlap Bulgaria's 8
aspirations. Even peoples of the near
east are showing combative spirit and
threaten to resist decrees of the peace
conference in Paris.
Territorial and boundary decisions
reached in Paris cannot meet the de-
sires of all races and nationalities. In
fixing them there is certain to be
strife among intermingled peoples re-
siding in the territories involved. Ow-
ing to their temperament and odd ira
ditions it cannot be expected that they
will submit gracefully to any decisions
not to their liking.

nations will receive an early test is
admitted by all.

Keeping the Peace.

Stirring days are ahead of any al
lance or league perfected by the
larger powers to maintain peace in the
world.
How far any agreements effected in
Paris will go in bringing to the world
immediate and lasting peace is exceed
ingly problematical
Though larger dangers lurk, grave
statesmen assembled about council
boards where they are hearing the con-
ficting claims of the smaller coun-
tries, old and new, see possibilities Of
endless conflict between these very dis
cordant elements.

Of Europe, through history, always have

others who desired to discuss the prob
lens Of their countries"
Comment has often been made on
the number Of the Presidents callers
in a day at the White House, and the
variety Of their errands. First, say,
comes a man asking for An Office for
a constituent, and recounts the history
and deserts Of his friend. He Is fol-
lowed by a man who has a word to
say about piece Of proposed 3egisla-
ton. In turn comes a man with some
confidential information about party
organization matter. Next is a man
with an invitation for the President
to visit Podunk and deliver an address
at an important public function sched-
! uled for that thriving community:
And 80 on. Patronage, business, party
control, personal compliment and
"jolly," and many other things are
crowded upon the Presidents atten-
ton in a comparatively brief time, and
nearly every day.
But the White House pressure is
easy and simple by comparison with
this pressure in Paris. The matters
presented here are all Of home COM
plexion; and the President knows
home. 1t may tax him to carry so
mauy things in mind, or to decide SO
many practically out of hand, but the
grange" so to say, is not wide. 1t is
all in the family.
Very different, and greatly more
taxing, was this days program in Paris.
Persons from many countries were the
callers, presenting questions relating
to the governments Of those countries,
and all asking assistance in the for
warding of their plans. The Presi-
dent was asked, first and last, to throw
glance round the world, and lend a
hand in correcting all existing abuses.
His mind had to travel fast even to
note the different countries mentioned
and the different grievances re-
counted.
The peace conference, we may all
be sure, has been a severe strain phys
ically and otherwise on all the par
ticipants; and not one of them is
young. And yet when the President
reaches home he will face the neces-
sity of plunging at once into more and
fresh work; and it may continue for
solid twelve months. When Con-
gress begins to function it may sit
for a long time; and while it sits the
President must give attention.
Evening star., 1919-04-19
The Extra Session.

The latest suggestion from Paris is
that Congress may be called to meet
in extra session on some day between
May Is and June /. A little more
than thirty days, therefore, would be
available for consideration of the be-
lated supply bills-rather a short al
lowance, but it might serve.
In the first place, whatever the day
OF meeting, there need be no delay
about getting to work. Organization
plans are complete. The threat of
trouble in the House seems to have
passed. There is quiet now in both ma
jority and minority circles. Harmony,
for time at least, will probably hold.
Both parties have SO much at stake,
serious trouble in either would be ex-
pensive. So it is likely that both will
make stout effort to avoid internal
dissension.
In the second place, a good deal of
informal consideration has already
been given to the belated supplies by
those who will prepare the new bills
for presentation. The republican
members of the House committees
chargeable with the work of revision
are familiar with the bills as prepared
by the democrats last winter, and
should not find it difficult to recast
them in republican molds. The ques-
ton of time, therefore, will relate
largely to the debates on the measures
in the open chamber.
Given, then, a prompt beginning,
both in organizing Congress and in
committee work, and good deal can
be accomplished in thirty days. Both
sides are aware that the government
needs money. Both have been voting
for bountiful supplies for two years
past. Both appreciate the fact that
while economy has been decreed at
the polls it cannot be applied imme-
u48tCAy ACIOiC way. WO ihuSt
reduce expenses so as not to injure
the public interests. Running amuck,
with pruning knife IN hand, would be
both poor policy and poor politics.
For next year comes the great quad
rennial contest for full control of the
government.
With the supply bills out Of the way,
questions Of reconstruction will be in
order. They are numerous, and some
very important. Whether Congress
will turn Immediately to them, or take
q breathing spell to think them out
more fully, is engaging attention, but
necessarily affords no more than spec
ulation now. What the Presidents
views are on the point will be commu-
nicated when the time comes. He will
address Congress on the state of the
Union, and make recommendations on
what should be done, and in what or
der.

The Strain on the President.

This is from Paris cable Of Thurs
day:
president Wilson devoted nearly
the entire day to series Of appoint
ments. beginning at 10 o'clock with
the Chinese delegation to the peace
conference and ending after o'clock
with Frank P. Walsh, member Of the
delegation sent by Irish societies in
America to plead the cause Of Ireland.
The program for the day had been
planned carefully, the President re-
ceiving some one every fifteen min
utes. Among those received were a
French delegation, which wanted to see
the President about the left bank Of
the Rhine; the foreign minister Of
Switzerland, delegate from Chaldea,
two American woman labor leaders.

Steers Kicking Wins
For Oregon AT Portland

Portland, Or, Nov. 28.-Bill Steers,
lemon-yellow quarterback, with his
three drop kicks and great all around
offensive attack, was chiefly responsi
ble for the University of Oregon's 1 5 to
Z victory over the Multnomah Athletic
club team here yesterday afternoon.
Multnomah led, to 3. at the end of
the first half. scrub Huntington,
who was also an offensive star for
Oregon, plunged through for touch
down IN the third period and Steers
game for Oregon.
Huntington was forced out of the
battle, soon after making his touch
down, with a broken nose.
