COAL OR THE KAISER.

Editor The-~Iyashington Herald:
+ On page / of The Washington
Herald of February appears an
article entitled Demands for War
Criminals Criticised in Allied Ma
tions." In this article Rene Vivi-
ami. former prime minister of
France, states that Americas fail
ure to ratify the Versailles treaty
and England's troubles in Ireland
and Egypt prevent the allies from
bringing military pressure upon
Germany. He then suggests a sub
stitute demand for further supplies
of coal as reparation for Germany's
noncompliance with the treaty
paragraph stipulating the surren-
der of the criminals.
Such scheme would involve
some nice appraisal work. won
der II Rene Viviani has arrived at
a fair price for the Kaiser. He
ought to be worth several train
loads of good coal. France twould
benefit much more by burning the
coal than by burning the Kaiser.
They might be able to swap Won
Hindenburg for a Westphalia mine,
while the crown prince would prob
ably bring shSrt ton bf run of

There is an old saying around
Washington that the Census Bureau
always plays in hard luck The
truth Of the saying has been amply
proved in the count OF folks in the
country just closed.
lnstancing this. up in Maine the
snow was so deep that the enum-
orators could not get into the lum-
Der camps to count the workers. In
the Northwest they got into the
camps and such big SHOWS fell that
they could not get out. In the
South il rained so hard that the
counters had TO wear hip boots and
divers suits to get around, and. nat
Lrally, they were delayed. ana Ia
the far West the counting was held
up terribly by folks who could not
decide whether they belonged out
there, where they spent their win
ters, or in the Middle West where
they earned their livings.

Round the Town
Jaunting With
Capt. J. Walter Mitchell.

Odd how many fathers a goot
joke can acquire in a short time
1nstancing the case of Arthu
Miller, general office man of thi
Washington bureau of the late NeS
York Herald.
On the night that Frank A. Nun
sey announced that. the Herald was
to be consolidated with the Sun,
Miller, who had held a place in the
Office for thirty-two years. said:
81 was afraio when I took this
job that it would not be perma-
nent"
within three days after Miller
made the remark at least half a
dozen other old Herald employees
claimed credit for the joke. and sev-
eral of them were given credit for
it in New York newspapers.
During discussion of the white
paper shortage situation in the SEN
ate. Senator Nelson, of Minnesota.
rose up, and said he thought il
would be fine plan to abolish all
the sporting pages in the country.
whereupon several sporting editors
came back at him with the asser-
ton that the Congressional Record
and not their sheets should be abol-
ished.
''I certainly don't see any use for
the sporting pages" Nelson later
explained. IL never read them, and
think there are lot of other folks
just like me. ! take no interest in
sports. never have seen a prize
fight, nor a professional baseball
game. and | wouldn't go across the
street to witness a horse race.
The trouble with sport is that il
has become commercialized. Now,
If baseball were played by amateurs
and big salaries were not paid the
players, I'd be strongly in favor of
1t: but | don't think there is any
sport in watching men play for
money"
few remarks, however. that the
Senator is opposed to all sports. In
fact, there is one at which he is a
master and which he thoroughly in
dorsed for those seeking a mild
form of sport. That is chewing
good fat terbacker. Nelson prob
ably is the best judge Of pIug-cut
in the entire Senate.
Feeling that the state of his
health required that he walk more
often and bend over a great deal
more. Representative Pat Kelly. of
Michigan, went out and bought
himself one of those automobiles
for which his State is famous. An
hour later, while trying to run a
traffic signal on Pennsylvania ave-
nue. he rammed another car half
way up into a shade tree.
An Irish cop rushed over from
the traffic signal and. pulling out
a pencil and a notebook, inquired:
What's yer name?"
Kelly the Representative re-
piled.
The cops face Frightened.
Yer first name?" he continued.
Pat" Kelly went on.
without a word, the cop folded
up his notebook. jammed it into his
pocket and approaching the man
who was trying to coax his mechan-
ical coughdrop down out of the
tree. demanded:
why the diviI did you back into
that gintleman?"
