PRAISES HEALTH
OFFICE IN FIGHT
FOR CLEAN MILK
D. A. Slaughter Retracts
Statements Made Public
Last Week.

Awaiting Action, DR..
Fowler States.

D. \. Slaughter. president Of the
Maryland and Virginia Milk Pro-
dGcers' Association, last night justified
the actions and praised DR.. William
c. Fowler. District health officer, in
his efforts to provide clean and pure
milk fer the city.
As president Of the association Mr..
Slaughter retracted the statements
made public last week by the confer
ence Of the Maryland and Virginia
--ilk Producers Association. condemn
ing the practice of allowing unlicensed
milk TO be sold in the District.
DR.. William c. Fowler. District
health officer, said that he was
willing and ready to punish to the
fullest extent any or all milk pro-
ducers and dealers caught bringing
unlicensed milk into the District,
but that he would have to be up
held by the District courts.
Answering the charges made pub
lie Saturday by the Maryland and
Virginia Milk Producers Associa-
ton, DR.. Fowler said:
Fowler shows situation.
The health department has re-
sorted to every means at its COM
mand to prevent the unlawful praC-
tice of bringing unlicensed milk
into the District. 1t is regretted.
however. that the department has
met with little success in getting
these cases before the court for
t1nal disposition.
As an evidence of the activities Of
the department in the enforcement of
the milk law, forty-five cases, involv-
ing twelve separate and distinct
dairymen in this city, most of them
being large distributors, are now
awaiting trial before the court. On
and about January 80 a local dealer
was tried before a jury in the Police
Court for bringing milk from an unli-
censed farm into the District of Co
lumbia, and was adjudged guilty. His
attorney however, by resOrting to Ger
tain legal procedures. has thus far
been able to prevent the imposition of
the deserved penalty.
The health department is in pos
session OF information tending to show
that some producers operating under
a license issued by the health depart
ment requested all their unlicensed
neighbOrs to use their cans and to
ship the unlicensed product as a part
Of the milk supply from the licensed
farm"

PERSHING'S FORCEFULNESS

Iholnas +. Logan, in LeSlieS
General Pershing's happy star has
been ascendant throughout the period
Of his service in France. No stain of
criticism or glaring error mars his
escutcheon. His record of achieve
ment as commanding officer of the
American EXpeditionary Force in
France has been unusual in that from
its beginning until today there were
no untoward events or reverses to inn
pair the feeling of almost awed con-
fidence with which he is regarded by
the American people. Pershing came
through clean. He has a tremend-
ously hard record to live IN to.
Pershing did not avoid mistakes by
avoiding decisions lie struck and
struck hard for his own ideas. His
aggressive personality and confidence
IN ms own estimate of one phase of
the military situation in France turn
cd the tide of battle against Germany,
That phase was the morale and fight
ing ability of the American troops.
The French generals, even Marshal
Foch, it is said. did not believe the
American forces were sufficiently
trained to be relied upon in "a vital
way, even as reserves They were de-
ferring such reliance upon the Amer
leans shortly before the second battle
of the Marine. Pershing believed 9TH
erwise. He challenged their doubts.
He staked mis- own military reputation
and the reputation of the American
armies in the war upon the ability of
his troops to deliver. BY his own faith
and forcefulness he imposed his own
estimate upon the allied supreme COM
mand The result was the appeal to
the Americans to save the allied cause
at the second battle of the Marine.
The Americans, as the story goes,
advancing to the attack. encountc red
vast numbers of the defeated French.
The French warned the Americans
that the boches were coming. "They
are the ones we are looking for"
cried the Americans Divide your
lines and let us through" And on
they went to Chateau Thierry and the
greatest achievements of American
arms in the modern warfare. 1t was
Pershing's assertive confidence that
placed these Americans in the stra-
tegic reserve where they could be
thrown forward, for the decisive
counter-attack Of the war.

THEY CAN'T DO IT.

Let us not be too hard on the boys
stationed in the Rhine country if they
fail to feel like killing the German
women and children and actually
smile at them once in a while.
We have no doubt that the women
of Germany behaved very cruelty to-
ward prisoners, and it has been told
that the school children, as well as
the civil population of grown-ups, re-
Joiced when the Lusitania was sunk.
But still the Journal cannot feel like
even suggesting that those people
men, women and children who never
served in the kaisers army-should
be treated by the American soldiers
as the Hun soldiers treated the women
and children and old men of France
and Belgium.
This may be German propaganda.
but if so it will have to go as such
and the Journal will have to take the
consequences.

POSTPoNING HOPES OF ZION


The idea of Jewish state in Pal
estine, at the present time, at least
IS one of the hopeful projects which
has apparently gone into to discard
not only of the peace negotiators at
Paris but of the representative Jews
OF the world. The conservative sem
timent on the subject is probably eX-
pressed by an address recently deliv-
cred in London by DR.. Weizmann, the
leader of the English Zionists, IN
which he definitely. and in behalf of
the Zionist organization, declared that
1t would he unwise to press upon the
peace conference demand for a
Jewish state. In order, said Or.
Weizmann, to have a Jewish state in
Palestine, the Jews must first he in
that country, and they are not there.
In Palestine there are only 10000
Jews, as against 100000 who are not
Jews. Lands are not given to people
who do not inhabit them. This view
is in accordance with hard facts, and
bows to the conclusion which the En-
tente Allies have already reached to

PEACE AND a WINGED WORLD.


The record made recently by huge
Handley bombing plane which carried
forty passengers, in test near Lon
don, was broken at Rockaway Satur-
day last when a new American navy
seaplane. the NC-1. took the air with
fifty persons aboard.
Notable to the highest degree as an
event by itslef-think of the marvel of
eleven tons of matter blithely flying
through space under intelligent con-
troll at a possible rate of eighty miles
an hour,-this trial at a New York
waterfront is more important as an
example of the extent to which air.
plane development proceeded while
the war was still an oVershadoWing
issue. Relieved from its strained at
tention to the battlefelds the world
may now view this development with
a mind taking in both its rapdity
and its high economic significancei
From contemplation of aerial wonders
through the medium of the days news
from France, we are passing to
closeup as the cinema man would
say, of the flying miracle itself
Prophets, who said that the war
would be won in the air were in
large way wrong. The armistice came
just as the flying forces of the allies
were ready for their peak of endeavor.
That the adventures of peace are to
be greatly those of the air it requires
no gift of prophecy to see. The prac-
tiCalities as well as the destinations
of flying are upon us. Fifty additional
aerial mail routes are already plotted.
Other forms Of public service aviation
are being considered. Out of those
who will buy airplanes for pleasure,
