GREY LETTER WILL
FIGURE IN DEBATE
yiscount's Missive Likely to Be Prom
inent When Treaty Fight
Is Renewed.

Washington, Feb. 6.-Plaus of the
party leaders for resumption OF the
peace treaty debate began to take form
to day, although ii was said there prob
ABLY would be no definite decision as
to exact procedure on either side until
the treaty actually is called up Tor CON
sideration Monday.
Senator Hitchcock, the acting Demo
cratic leader returning to Washington
after weeks absence, called party
conference for Saturday to consider
some of the points likely to be raised
when the treaty comes back TO the
Senate floor. On the Republican side
there were numerous consultations
among the leaders but it was said nc
final plan was adopted.
Indications to-day that the influence
of President Wilson might again be felt
in the Senate controversy developed an
angle full of interesting possibilities
but there was nothing to reveal how
active part he might play when the
fight is renewed in the open 1t became
known that he had been in communica
tion directly with some Democratic
senators and the Republicans heard a
report, which Senator Hitchcock de-
clined to discuss, that a letter setting
forth the executives views on compro'
mise reservations had been sent to the
Democratic leader.
The White House also took notice
during the day of the recently pub
lished letter of Viscount Grey, former
ambassador to the United States, IN re
gard to the reservations, officials close
to the president indicating unohicially
that they felt the ordinary diplomatic
courtesies would have suggested that
this government be consulted before
such document was made public
While taking the position that they
did not care to specifically deny them
White House officials said there was
no foundation in fact for reports that
the president knew of the Grey letter
prior to its publication.
Reports that the letters publication
had led to diplomatic representations
by this government were denied, how
ever. at the state department. where
officials declared there had been no eX
changes, regarding it either before ol
since ii became public
Among senators the Grey letter con.
tinued a subject of widespread discus
sion. apparently forecastng that II

A Chicago Clsau-Up.

When recently Mayor Thompson Of
Chicago made a change in the once
Of the chief Of police aud put his pri-
vate secretary in the job it was feared
that this shift would not effect any
real Improvement in conditions. The
general opinion prevailed that the
mayor would b his own police chief
ana that Fitzmorris would be q mere
figurehead. with the old regime Of
crime and crookedness and corrup-
ton continuing without check. Yes.
ferday Chief Fitzmorris threw IN aw.
full Jolt into the Chicago underworld.
He staged the biggest roundup Of
criminals and crooks that the city
has ever known. Nearly 1000 were
arrested by a special fiying squad
Of 1000 detectives and 1900 uniformed
ofYicers Apparently the raid was
planned and carried out with perfect
secrecy. for some OF the biggest Of
the citys crooks were caught. II

Disarmament.

In the report of Saturdays proceed
ings at Geneva this appeared:
IAN international military force.
with an international staff was proposed
to the assembly by Senator Henri La
Fontaine of the Belgian delegation.
Senator La Fontaine had somewhat
startled the assembly by declaring
that the world was not yet ready for
disarmament 1t is necessary to say
frankly to the people, he said. that
the. time for disarmament has not
yet come Before the world could
ciisarm. he added. entirely different
ideas from those that prevailed be-
fore the war must be incallcated and
applied
Somewhat startled" means just a
little startled. The assembly could
not have been greatly startled. There
was nothing very startling in the Bel
gjan senator's declaration. Who holds,
as a serious proposition that the
world is now ready. or gettins ready.
for disarmament? Where is the sign?
And how rapidly is the movement ex.
pected to spread. and how far go?
Disarmament makes for talk. No
subject lends itself better to purposes
Of sentiment. The world today is Ted
up'' on war. Such carnage as it has
recently waded through has sobered It
for a spell It would be glad to feel
that war is no more.
But it does not feel so. It cannot
fed so. For war, on a. redaesd scale.
IL still in progress in Europe. and
conditions are such it may spread and
attain again alarming proportions.
In the face of such . situation, what
nation Of consequence, now IN pos-
session of war establishment. either
Afioat or ashore. could afford to scrap
It. or even reduce its size?
The present Congress at de coming
session, and the new Congress- when

Movies as Safety Teachers.

A week of public instruction In
street safety is proposed by the agar-
cies now cooperating to improve con-
didons in Washington and to reduce
the percentage Of danger from traffic.
SUCH periods have been had here be.
fore, and have been fruitful of good
results.
/ In this connection it would be well
to consider the fullest possible use
Of the motion picture screens in this
city. In no better way. perhaps. can
the attention Of the people. old and
young, be arrested to the dangers in
the streets and to the need Of care.
Films can be shown depicting the
right and the wrong ways Of street
use. Accidents can be filmed in q
way to bring home sharply to every
bei1older the perfls Of carelessness on
the part Of both motorists and pedes-
trians.
Without doubt the owners Of the
motion picture theaters Of Washington.
would give their screen space gladly
for this sort Of display. The films
themselves are to be had from safety
organisations in other cities that have.
had them made in the past. Or they
may be made here, in the familiar set
ting. Such films should Furthermore
be shown in every school where a.
screen can be erected and projection
space provided.
Every week in the year, Of course,
ought to be- regarded as safety week.
But II particular safety week" is
it should not be considered
as the last word in education. It
should be repeated frequently. There,
is nothing more important in munich
pal endeavor than the saving Of life
in the city streets. If this present
move carries through there will be no
lack Of workers to make it effective.

Greek Reactions,

A peculiar reaction from the elec-

Turkish troops have recently assumed
the o6emsass and are strflEing heavy

risd. OF course. the TURKS know an
about the situation On the Greek side
and are Doubtless taking advantage Of
the Generalization. A plebtscite win
be held soon TO determine the win Of
the Greek people regarding the return
Iof King Constantine. But even II he

remain bound BY it, treaty obligations
and BY the agreements effected under
It regarding the campaign In Asia

up the anti-venizelos vote with q

turn and should then withdraw from
her engagements with the allied pow

Panama Canal Business.

When the United States undertook
the construction Of the, Panama canal,
and it seemed certain that all the carly
estimates Of cost Of piercing the 18TH
mus would be greatly exceeded many
people in this country shook their heads
In deep gloom. over the, prospect that the
government would gp heavily into
debt in an enterprise that could never
possibly ray Tor itseif.- Elahorate sta.
tistics wers oftered to show that so
costly a construction could not be self
supporting, Fortunately no heed was
paid to these gloomy forecasts: The
job was regarded as necessary and 1t
was undertaken. It was put through
as quickly and as efficiently and as
economically as possible
Now the pessimists who predicted
ia heavy financial burden on the United
States on the canal account are ut
terly routed by the records. Accord
ing to Gen. Harding's report the canal
has just closed tlss best OF its siE
years Of operation with an excess OF
$2,3S7, ,599 in revenues from tolls over
oneratina expefse. This excess Of
revenues was nearly 81 per cent OF
the total annual cost Of operation. AT
the present rate of business 1t is cal
cuiafed tI1at by the end OF the next
fiscal year the total collections during
the entire period Of operation will ez-
ceed by at least 81 .o80, ,000 the total ex-
penses Of operation and maintenance
from the beginning and it Is further
more believed that from that time on
the net earnings OF the canal will be
at least s.. .0O6. .060 annually.
This report, with defiuite prospect
Of increasing canal use, definitely puts
the big waterway out of the class of
losing ventures. In an Likelihood, had
it not been for the outbreak Of war in
Europe in 1914. the canal would have
been a money-maker practically from
the start. That II should survive the
war period with an operation deficit
that win probably be overcome with
