BOUL OGNE, June 22.-The allied
supreme council was expected to set
lie the Russian question at its session
here today.
Resumption of trade relations with
he soviets was urged upon Premier
iillerand by Premier LloydGeorge
lespite reiteration of the French
policy OF refusal to deal with the
Moscow government.
While official communiques GOV.

isions had been arrived at, it was
generally understood that agreement
ad been concluded regarding the fol,
pving questions:

Eeyed the conference would reject

The general opinion here was that

Whooping Cough.

Warning has been given by Health
Officer, Fowler that it is violation
of law on the part of parents to per
NIT children suffering from whooping
cough to play with other children in
the streets. This is timely and it
should be needed. Fifteen new cases
of this disease were reported to the
health department yesterday, bring
ing the total for the month up to 103.
The sudden increase is indicative that
whooping cough is spreading from a
few cases and this is plainly sign
that parents are negligent of the regu-
lation to keep children who are thus
afflicted out of contact with others.
Whooping cough does not necessitate
the complete isolation of the patient.
Children affected by it are capable of
almost normal activity, and especially
in the first stages they may spread
the infection widely. It may be a
hardship to keep a child who has
whooping cough out of contact with
other children, but it is only right to
do so, and it is to be hoped that par
ents will generally observe this warn
ing as, indeed, as the health officer in
Inmates, punishments may follow if the
regulation is violated.

The Twenty Largest Cities.

With the announcement of the
census figures for Philadelphia the Of
fetal rating of the twenty largest
cities in the United States stands re-
corded. The Quaker City is credited
with 1923, ,l5s, gain of III per cent.
While this is low, and doubtless dis
appointing to the Philadelphians, it is
practically the same rate of gain as
that of New York, 17.9 per cent, and is
higher than the rates of st. Louis, 125 I;
Boston, 11.s; Cincinnati, 103, and
Pittsburgh, 102. In 1910 the total
population of these twenty cities was
15,624,744, and in 1920 they counted up
at 19,472,s77. This was gain for the
90 combined Of 3,s0s,133 OF 24.3 per
cent. Thus New York, Philadelphia,
Boston, st. Louis, Pittsburgh and Gin
cinnati, as stated. and also Chicago,
San Francisco, Buffalo, Milwaukee,
Newark and New Orleans are below the
average of the rate Of growth. The
biggest gain of all the 90 cities was
made by Detroit. at 1874, while Los
Angeles was second at s03. Next to
these was Cleveland, with 42.1. Min
neapolis, Seattle and Washington
gained at about the same rate, re-
spectively, s4.5, 33.1 and 32.1, with
Baltimore close behind them at 314.

Retirements and Retentions.

The Secretary of Agriculture has
recommended to the Civil Service Com
mission the retirement Of two of the
elder employees without annuity. 1t
is stated incidentally that these two
men to be thus retired will not suffer
as they are now we'll provided for
These cases, therefore, have been con-
sidered with reference to the private
circumstances of the individuals If
the same basis is maintained in all the
there will be no real hard
ship through the compulsory retire
ment without annuity of those who
are over seventy and have not served
for fifteen years.
In the Department of Agriculture
147 employees are eligible for retire
ment. Of these 46 will be retained on
certificates of efficiency. This is re-
garded as high percentage. The
ratio of retentions to retirements,
however, cannot be figured out as con
ditions vary in the different depart
ments. The principal hope is that in
the working out of the retirement law
there will be the least possible hard
ship and all cases will be handled
strictly on their merits without par
tisanship or favoritism, and without
the exerting of influence. Thus far
there is every reason to look for this
manner of executing the law.

Genuine Public Sentiment.

A demurrer has been entered by the
head of the board of education to
the assertion that public sentiment in
the District strongly favors Supt.
Thurston. 1t is charged that the SEN
timent manifested is the result Of
propaganda, is not genuine and is not
predominant. Against this, however,
appear numerous evidences that the SEN
timent of the community is strongly
and sincerely favorable to the chief
school executive, whose retirement has
been voted by the board of education.
These evidences reached their culmi-
nation last evening at the graduating
exercises at Central High School-at
which no member of the board was
present-where for a period of more
than five minutes Mr.. Thurston was
greeted with cheers from the audi
ence of nearly $500, comprising par
~ents and friends of the graduating
class. Similar scenes have been en-
acted at other graduating exercises
during the past few days at which the
superintendent has appeared, at some
of them with pointed indications of
disapproval of the action of the board
of education.
1t is impossible to maintain that this
is manufactured" that it is the re-
salt of propaganda or preparation.
These outbursts of applause have been
spontaneous and whole-hearted. They
have not been solicited or promoted.
Their significance cannot be misun-
derstood.
Further evidence of the feelings Of
the people of this city was given Mon
day night when the Federation of Citi-
zens' Associations voted by a substan-
tial majority in favor of the reten-
tion of Mr.. Thurston as superintendent
of schools and condemning the action
of the board of education in refusing
him reelection. 1t Is we'll known that
opposition to this resolution came
from interests closely associated with
the personnel Of the majority Of thu
board Of education. On the merits Of
the question at this meeting Wash
ington voted unmistakably for the re-
tention of the superintendent.
In a recent communication the head
Of the board of education chided the
committee of business organization
for failure correctly to read the re-
port of the Senate select committee,
and stating that the committee had
merely recommended that the present
superintendent should be retained

Suffrage in the Campaign.

Tennessee may turn the trick for
woman suffrage. Gov. Roberts has an
nounced that he will comply with a
request made by President Wilson and
call special session of the legisla-
ture to act on the federal amendment.
Heretofore Tennessee has been re-
garded as unlikely to move in the
premises, inasmuch as under state
law an election must have intervened
between the submission of an amend
ment and action by the legislature.
No such election having occurred in
Tennessee, some authorities have held
that the state could not pass upon the
amendment until the next regular ses-
sion, in January; 1921. But under the
Supreme Courts decision against the
referendum process of ratification it has
been held that this statute is inopera-
tive, and that the state is free at any
time to act, inasmuch as only the leg
islature, without reference to instruc-
tion from the electorate, is the rati-
flying agency.
Obviously this move has political
Tennessee is a demo-
cratic state, and if it casts the thirty
sixth and finally, ratifying vote certain
of the newly enfranehised women will
be inclined to give credit to that party
for the result, even though 25 of the
35 states that have ratified are re-
publican and of the 8 that have cast
rejecting votes are democratic. The
members of the woman's party who
are conducting vigorous campaign of
protest contend that responsibility for
the failure of ratification at present
rests with the republican state of
Delaware and the republican govern
ors of Connecticut and Vermont, who
refused to call special sessions.
Senator Harding, pressed by dele
cation of woman's party representa-
tives the other day to put pressure
upon the republican governors of Yer
mont and Connecticut, expressed his
full sympathy with the movement to
enfranehise the women of America, but
declared that he could not encroach
upon the prerogatives of state execu-
tive. This declaration has evoked hos
tile expressions from some of the
militants, but there is as. yet no in
dication of a general adverse senti-
ment among the woman voters al
ready enfranchised or disposition to
visit upon the present republican can
didate vengeance for. the recalcitrance
of the two New England governors.

expected that in thus taking issue with

has been made. 1t was to have been
expected that in thus taking issue with
the citation from the record the
spokesman for the board would have
quoted correctly. But falling into the
same error with which he charged his
critics, he departed from the text of
the select committees report, which,
in fact, recommended that the present
superintendent be retained "at least"
until the survey has been made.
The difference between "only" and
"at least" is unmistakable.
Although in a recent letter-letter
writing persists despite certain OBJ
vious warnings-the head of the school
board declares that the board will
not reconsider its action, there remains
a hope that the wish of the people will
be respected and the superintendent
reelected. If, however, the board holds
to this conclusion, assuming that the
head of the board speaks authorita-
lively for all nine members, 1t can
not derive any comfort whatever in
the insistent hypothesis that the SEN
timent of the community is favorable
to the board and hostile to the super
intendent. The applause and cheers
given the latter at the school com
the votes of citizens as
sociations and the federation, the ae-
ton of representative bodies Of busi-
ness men-all these are unmistakable
proof of an emphatic condemnation of
the boards action. Nor will this feel
ing die. 1t will continue to prevail
until at the next session of Congress
the action which was begun few
weeks ago is completed,
