WILL Go OVER
Congress Too Busy With Other
Matters to Consider Helping
Capital Citizens Now.

Hopes for the passage OF any fur
ther District of Columbia legislation
before the close OF the present ses.
sion of Congress except possibly the
Increased pay bill for the firemen, are
1windling rapidlJ.
Legislation is hopelessly congested
as a result of the prolonged peace
treaty fight
Between the railroad legislation
and the recess, there will be little
opportunity for consideration OF the
aremen's bill. unless a unanimous
consent agreement Is obtained. Sem
Itor Calder of New York. VIII o will
lave charge of the bill when it
caches the Senate, will endeavor to
:et consent for an agreement to take
Ip the measure with G view to it's i'm
Mediate passage.
Outside OF the firemen's bill, no
Dther District legislation will be con.
'idered, even by the Senate, during
he remaining weeks of the session.
This means that the long sought
,ivil service retirement bill upon
which hangs the hopes of thousands
OF Government and District employees,
will be deferred until after the recon
vening of Congress on December !.
Deferring 1t until then means 1t will
not come up for consideration until
after all permanent railroad legisla-
ton has been enacted, and other en-
ergency matters accomplished.
Others Go BY Default.
rhs teachers retirement bill. an
other piece of District legislation
which has been hanging fire for a
long while, also will have to wait its
turn. A number of other District
bills all will go by default Included
in these Is the Calder zone bill. pro-
viding for a zoning commission which
would have supervision over the
heights and character of buildings
to be erected in the city limits.
Prospects for any sort of investi-
CATION OF the city's water supply,
which has been agitated from Con-
gress to Congress, are about as hope
less as before. 1t is not probable
that the Senate, at any rate. will do
anything with 1t for a long while to
come.
Senator Calder expects to get his
subcommittee together tomorrow TO
consider the firemen's bill 1t is
hoped that the bill will be reported
from the full District Committee at
its next session, Monday of next
week.

Crazy Quilt Finance"

The Federal Employees Union, No.

argest organization in Washington,
iaving a membership of more than
1000 men and women. to fight street
ar conditions in this city.
Municipal ownership is suggested

Commenting editoriaiiy on the
street car situation, The Federal EN-
ploye further says:
Municipal ownership OF public
utilities may not appeal to some, but
this at least may be said with con-
idence: That municipal ownership at
its worst never involved q scheme by
which the people of a great city are
daily mulcted of thousands of dollars

managed street railway corporation
that neither asks for nor needs ad-
ditional revenue. in order that the al
legged requirements of o wretchedfy
mismanaged and inefficient competitor
may be met
sAt Pistol Point..
Because we give to supposedly
needy beggar. forsooth, We must give
equally to well-to-do bystander
whose hand is not outstretched. The
term 'beggar' is used advisedly, for
money paid over to q public service
corporation in excess of value re-
ceived is virtually money donated to
charity, even though donated. as 1t
were, at the point of q pistol.
For the time being the long-suf-
tering public must be the victim Of
crazy-Quilt finance, but the turn OF the
thumbscrew sometimes brings re-
markable results even in a community
in which for many years various fac
tors have combined to repress initia-
tive and efforts at self-help. What
will be the result Of this latest turn
of the screw?

This story might be entitled "The
Tragedy of Russia" for 1t has to do
with a tragedy which Capt Hugh
Street Martin, special attache to the
American embassy at Petrograd and
later head of the American Secret
Service division of the Allied Intel
ligence Bureau of North Russia lays
directly at the door of the United
States and her allies.
Captain Martin is Just back from
Russia, and with him incidentally he
brought a bride-Marie Bogomolova-
pretty blonde Russian girl and a
Secret Service agent like himself.
While her father and brother were
fighting Bolshevism at the front, Mile.
Marie was working behind the lines
as a secret agent of the Allied Intel
ligenee Bureau.
It was in this work that her path
crossed that Of Captain Martin, and
their subsequent marriage was kept
secret for a year that she might con-
tinue her valuable work unhampered
by the public knowledge of the fact
tn at she was the bride Of an American
officer.

For six years Captain Martin was
secretary to Senator John Sharp Will
liams of Mississippi, and nearly four
years ago went to Russia as the spe-
cial attache of the American en-
bassy.
Later be became attached to the
American military mission in north
Russia and acting as tho American
representative during the negotia-

Russia, and is kissing it's insidious
breath into the face OF civilization"
Captain Martin declared.
He characteriZes the weakened
activities OF the allies as the crown
ing mistake in Russia, and declares
that If sufficient forces had been
thrown into Russia Bolshevism
would have been crushed at the out
set.

FRANCE ALONE?

It is but natural that France, rccling
through triumphant from tho struggle
with the invaders. should think first OF
protection against a future assault,
This, Of course. is the meaning Of Pre-
uier clemenccaus attitude and Of Mar
shall Foch's demands. But, as President
Wilson recently stated: "thc peril OF
France is the peril Of the world. and II
is as necessary for the world to or
ganize against 1t as it is for Franco.
Tho inference is that the material
means which the French leaders wish to
erect as barriers to future invasion
must be- buttressod by worldwide or,
sanization. thet mere military defenses
must be SUPPORTED by the moral force
Of mankind. The intent of the Prcsi'
dents speech was no doubt to impress
this fact upon the assemblage. 4 peace
Of Justice rather than Of victory, is ths
distinction for which the American
President has pleaded. which properly
analysed really rnesns a peace that viii
