Mr.. Wilson generally is looked
upon as cold sort of person.
whereas he is, in reality, senti-
mental, very loyal to his friends,
and loves to get together and laugh
with his former comrades of college
days, whom he receives with the
greatest cordiality and intimacy.
He loves to exchange with them the
happy common memories of their
youth.
Outside the province OF politics,
he abhors red tape and etiquette.
and in everything observes the
greatest simplicity.
Mr.. Wilson does not smoke, but
he does not mind anyone smoking
in his company. He is frugal as
regards his meals. drinks neither
wine nor liquor nor liQueurs. Nor
does he take coffee.
The President does not speak

Mr.. Wilson loves France dearly.

schools. unfortunately, are in a most
serious condition.
Congress should provide, at once,
for more liberal salaries for the
teachers-salaries which will enable
the Board of Education to return for
our schools the talent now employed
and to secure and retain the services
or such other instructors as are need
ed. In no other way can the critical
situation of the schools be remedied.
Salaries for Ffremen.
In this connection, permit me to
call attention to the small salaries re-
ceived by the members of our Fire
Department. We assisted these pub
lie servants in their recent victorious
fight for the adoption Of the two. pla-
toon system, and l feel that we should
assist them in their efforts to bring
about proper increase in their sala-

OF Commerce has carried on, practi-

tons are great commercial resources
and the Chamber of Commerce Should
continue to go after them for Wash

born children are taught the history
of Ameyica in foreign tongue.
AT all times the safety of a repub-
lie depends upon an educated and
trained people. But at no time is 1t
as important as 1t is in these days
after a great war. when the very
foundations of normal living have
been dislodged. We need now, more
than ever before, the most highly
trained experts, men and women with
broad and constructive vision and
building power. And yet to such ex-
perts, to such men and women of
power and vision, the government
now pays less in a majority of cases
than for the routine clerical work
done by boys and girls who have less
than a high school education. More
over, the clerk becomes more skiIlful,
more an efficient machine as he con-
tinues at work: on the contrary, the
teacher is more and more depleted by
the act of teaching. of giving out in
formation and inspiration, and must
needs have a period each year, first,
of complete mental rest, when the
mind can lie fallow for a while. and.
second, a new period of taking in. of
new learning and inspiration for the
next years teaching. And all this re-
quires an adequate salary.
Now, gentlemen of Congress. the
present salaries are not adequate.
They are not more than half ade-
quate. The present salary must be
increased ten per cent in order to
restore its purchasing power. Mr..
Lane, the Secretary of the Interior.
in report published in the Outlook
on December IS. 1918, put the case
very succinctly when he asked the
following question: What should be
said of democracy which expends
In a year twice as much for chew
ing-gum as for school books, NOR.
for automobiles than for all primary
and secondary education. and in
which the average teachers salary
Is less than that of the average
day laborer? The present salaries,
because they are inadequate, will
not hold the present teaching force;
standards of requirements will be
1owered-as has been done during
the war in order to keep schools
open; the situation will become
graver and the present crisis be-
come increasingly acute. No plan
of reconstruction will or can sue
coed that is not based upon the firm
foundation of an efficient and all
American public school.
I'm the light of these facts. we
respectfully urge you. with all the
force in our power. to Immediately
raise the salaries of all the teachers
of the District of Columbia 100 per
cent.
Very sincerely yours.

Railroads to Be Operated
Under Direction of
John F. Stevens.

Interallied military forces have re-
stored order completely in Siberia
from Vladivostok to Lake Baikal, ac-
cording TO officials in Washington,
who have received advices that the
allied forces have agreed upon a plan
whereby the efficiency of the Trans
Siberian Railroad and the Chinese
Eastern Railway will be restored.
Under the new plan, japanese
troops will be used in police work. but
the operation of the lines will be un-
der the supervision of a technical
board to be headed by John F. Stew
ems, the American civil engineer who
is nOsw in the employ of the pro-
visional Russian government.
Victory for Morris.
The adoption of the plan is hailed
as a diplomatic victory for Roland s.
Morris, United States ambassador to
Japan who has been engaged in the
task for several months. The formal
acceptance of the plan by Japan will
be noted in a declaration to be pre-
sented to the State Department here
tomorrow by Viscount Ishii, Japanese
ambassador to the United States. Mr..
Morris will proceed to Vladivostok.
where organization of the railway
administration will be taken up.
Under the agreement as outlined
it appears that for the success of
the temporary plan, which later
will be passed upon by the league
of nations, or by the Peace Con-
ference. the Omsk government will
be taken to represent Russia in the
territory concerned. Mr.. Stevens,
who was employed with a corps
of American railway engineers TO
aid in restoring the trans-Siberian
lines a year or more ago, is paid

government, which has the recog-
milton of the United States and the
allies.
