"0nly the Cat'' But Got

CHESTER, Pa, July 12-"It's only
the cat, commented Mrs. Fred Strohm
Jr. when somebody called attention to
a noise in the kitchen of the Strohm
home as the members of the Strohm
family entered the house after having
attended services at the Marcus Hook
Baptist church ---,
Now I know it's the cat" con-
tinued Mrs. Strohm when the ears of
the listeners were greeted by a plain
tive meow" coming out OF the dark
recesses of the kitchen where there
was no light burning.
When members of the Strohm fam
lily came downstairs next morning,
| however, they realized that it was
not the cat, after all, but. burglar
who knew how to initiate. pussy to
| perfection, who made the noise in the
kitchen.
Both Mr.. and Mrs. Strohm are sat.
isfied that the cat would not have got
away with wallet containing nearly
500 and five times that amount in
jewelry; besides some silverware.
| And then, again, the cat would not
have left this saucy note. found lying
on the kitchen table: ''The old cat

Even old Dobbin's feed gets scarcer,

hay that exists, greater expense for

important, indeed, to the allies that q
substantial government be maintained
in Germany.
Evidence that the Ebert government,
at first inclined to make concessions
to the radicals, is disposed to fight
them squarely is afforded in the an
nouncement that Noske, whose resig-
nation was rendered as minister of
defense, has been retained and has
been given a vote of confidence by
the government. One Of the demands
of the labor union committee at Ber-
lin upon the Ebest government was
the dismissal of Noske and Erzberger.
A peculiar angle is given to the sit
uation by the fact that the Baltic
troops comprising the Luettwitz army
have intrenched themselves and evi-
IDENTIFY propose to hold together as
a unit against the Ebert government.
They are detached force, however,
and can hardly be expected to affect
the balance of power in Germany.
They may go over to the communists.
Use of allied troops for the restora-
ton of order in Germany is not i'm
probable. The Ebert government may
at any moment call for help from the
very forces with which Germany was
so lately at war.

Reconsideration.

In the Senate last evening, after
the motion to ratify with reservations
had failed, and after the Senate had
voted to return the treaty to the Presi-
dent, motion was made to reconsider
the vote whereby ratification was re.
fused. A point Of order was made
that, the Senate having voted to re-
turn the treaty, the preceding vote
could not be reconsidered. The chair
sustained the point of order. Under
the rules Of the Senate a motion to re.
consider can be made at any time
within two legislative days after the
vote is taken. Intervention Of other
business, even affecting the matter in
question, has not been heretofore 70.
garded as checking this right. How.
ever, the decision was not effectively
challenged, and 30 the motion to 70.
consider was not put to q vote. But

fcrmity with the vote Of last evening

Police Ranks Depleted.

Commissioner Brownlow, testifyinG
before the House District committee
yesterday on the traffic court bill, said
that there are now seventy-two va
cancies in the police force. Notwith
standing the grant of an increased pay
there have been only twenty-one ap-
plicants for positions on the force in
three and half months, and of these
only nine have passed the examinations
and been added to the force. This is
evidence that the pay scale even now
is not sufficient. Since the striking
out of the bonus provision resigna-
tions have been numerous.
1t is most deplorable that the Dis
trict's police force should thus be un-
dermined by lack of pay. 1t was
hoped that the new pay scale would
suffice to hold the men and to attract
newcomers. But conditions here have
not been such as to induce continued
service. Members of the police force
have been subjected to many grave
dangers. Some of them have been
slain in the line Of duty. With in
adequate pension provisions it has been
necessary for the community to pro-
vide funds for the families of these
men.
If the new pay scale is not sufi-
cient it should be revised. Washing
ton should not be left with an incom-
plete police force. Every man pro-
vided for by law is needed for patrol
and special duty. The Commissioners
will doubtless make proper representa-
tions on this score to insure revision
of the pay scale if that is necessary
to bring recruits to the ranks.
