the Federal authorities in their at.
tempts to enforce prohibition under
the Volstead act. Leroy w Ross
United States District Attorney, in
Brook lyn. tclephoned Acting Police
Commissioner John A. Leach Wednes-
oay asking that a daily list of persons
arrested for intoxication be forwardc ed
to him. The latter agreed to send this
list, but yesterday Commissioner En-
right revoked the order.
The request was made in connection
with new plan devised by Federal
officials to enforce prohibition. In
the future every person arrested for
intoxication will be subpenaed by the
Federal authorities, and will be sub
Jected to an examination designed to
elicit the information as to where thew
obtained the liquor that caused their
plight.

The departments action was prompt
ed by the number of inquiries that
have been received from banks, manu-
facturers and other employers asking
for exact figures on the unemployment
question.
The department named directors to

Entering Into Honor

Glorious days these for the art
preservatives of other arts. The
profession is not only becoming a
jostling place for the great and
the neargreat, but the embargo is
lifted which confined the flow from
a reservoir Of talent.
Senator Harding's avocation is
public life, but his vocation is edi
torial. Governor Cox of Ohio, who
may be his rival, is another editor,
and Carter Glass and Gilbert NJ.
Hitchcock also are editors. Mr..
Bryan has amassed fortune since
he left the law and went in for
journalism. Mr.. Taft's income as a
special contributor adds materially
to the handsome revenue he receives
from his labors on the Chautauqua
circuit. Colonel Roosevelt left the
White House to become an associate
editor. And so on down long list.
Great is the change from the days
when Daniel Webster, declining a
reporting job, said he hoped to be an
actor in life and not merely a re-
corder of the acts Of others.
But of the recruits who have re-
sponded to the call of the craft none
is more notable than Colonel House,
who is in Europe as a newspaper
correspondent. We do not know
what winning persuader unsealed
those tightly locked lips and con-
verted gentleman whose ambition
has been to say nothing into one
whose business it is to be garrulous.
But it has been done Maybe, as is
limited, the Colonel has really gone
abroad to induce Lloyd George to
say or do something that will lift
the Irish pressure here against the
Administration, but, even, so, the
Colonel, against his habit and his
temperament, has agreed to 90
through the motions Of communicate
ing information and ideas.
SO the Fourth Estate is no longer
populated by the disinhcritcd. It
becomes respectable. 1t is necessary
to scrap the picture which presented
reporters as dishcvellcd snoopers
who sneaked their way into COM
pany whore they were tolerated on,v
because they carried sting in their
pens.

Why So Much Smoke?

Let us hope appearances are de-
celtful and that the sleuths of Mr..
Swann's official family are on the
brink of discovering the Elwell mur-
derer. But it seems the general
view of the newspaper observers of
the handling of this extraordinary
case that little more old-fashioned
detective work and a little less dis
play of smoke screens might hasten
the solution of the mystery.
From the point of view of the
"movie' fans there can be no
criticism of the District Attorneys
efforts. An abundance of clews,
speculations, half-told hints has been
daily given out. A thinly veiled
figure of mystery, whose identity has
been thus far nominally withheld,
has been created by the investiga-
tors. Why? For the same chival-
rous reasons that caused the house
keeper, Mrs. Larsen, to endeavor to
conceal this visitors intimacy with
Elwell, it is declared. Perish the
thought that the public should ever
learn from the District Attorneys
office who the close friends of the
murdered man We're.
Of course, if all this mystery is
aiding in the final discovery of the
murderer, we'll and good. Wild goose
chases to Kentucky or anywhere else
are entirely justifable if the object
is to throw the guilty off their
guard. Mr.. Swann's novel handling
of the case must be justified by it's
fruits. He has seen fit to take over
the conduct of the whole affair, leav-
ing Police Headquarters little au-
thority or opportunity. The fact
that there is hostility between the
two Offices is surely no reason for
displacing the one with the better
organized detective force. The pri-
mary business of the District Attor-
ney is to try cases and to conduct
Investigations before the grand jury
but except in the Becker case, in
regard to which the police were sus-
pect, the police do the searching
for the guilty in the first instance.

Undesirable Visitors

1T is reported that a Magyar gov
ernmental mission, headed by the
former Premier, Charles Huszar. is
on it's way to the United States with
the object of creating sentiment here
for the restoration of the ancient
Magyar state within it's historic
boundaries.
Premier Huszar and his friends
were stanch supporters Of the Ger
man~Magyar attack on Serbia and
or submarine warfare. His attitude
WAS about the same as that Of
Count Ernest Reventlow or Admiral
Won Tirpitz.
But the announced visit Of the
Magyar mission concerns the fut,rc
not the past. Mr.. Huszar purposes
among other things, to raso dona-
tions here, mainly from former Hun
garianS and possibly to float a
governmental loan. Now. nothing
in the attitude Of the present Mar-
var regime forbids the suspicion that
funds collected in this country may
eventually be used wor financing q
New-York tribune., 1920-06-22

new war against the states for
new war against the states whose
liberation American soldiers helped
achieve.
Besides, Mr.. Huszar's projected
activities are likely to disturb the
domestic peace of those Ameri-
can communities where former Hun
garians live side by side with ma
tionals and descendants of the races
against which Magyar irredentism is
directed. The undertaking thus may
inject into American life one of the
most desperate of Old World quar-
rels, and that in the interest of one
of Americas late enemies. What
would Americans think of a mission
Of Posen Germans to preach here the
reunion Of Poland to Prussia, to COL
lect funds for bolstering up German
resistance to the Polish government
and to excite the German-American
population against their fellow citi-
zens and residents Of Polish origin?
For the State Department to ad-
NIT the spokesman Of the Magyar
militarists, who were and are among
the boldest enemies Of democracy
and Of peace, would seem to be a
serious blunder.
New-York tribune., 1920-06-22

in credits and munitions they will
probably be able to occupy all of
Thrace, the Dardanelles region and
the Smyrna district, and to force the
obstreperous Kemal to yield. Greece
knows what she wants and is will
ing to fight for it.
In dealing with Germany the Su-
preme Council will also probably
conclude that show of force is re-
quired to induce Berlin to comply
with the treaty terms. The. Ger
mans have delayed disarmament.
They are behindhand on armistice
and treaty reparations. They have
failed to live up to dozens Of their
promises. They are counting on
Allied disagreements to escape from
their obligations. There is no Greek
army in Northern Europe to be used
as an Allied prod. Poland's armies
are busy on the Bolshevist front. 1t
is a matter of necessity, therefore,
that Great Britain, France, Italy
and Belgium unite to save the Ger
man treaty. The three major powers
have divergent subsidiary interests.
But their main interest Is in max
ing Germany live up to the Yer
sailles settlement. That is why diff
ferences among them emerge, be-
come acute and are then composed.
Unity is indispensable. That is why
what happened at San Reno is like
ly to be repeated at Boulogne.
The United States, because Of the
policy the President has seen fit to
follow, will be absent when efforts
to secure sanctity for treaties and
to lay the real foundations of future
peace are made.

carclessly comfortable Americans
could we'll emulate, and she illustrates
the longing which is felt in every ma

that America should accept her proper
place as leader and roscuer of the civil

Four-by-Six Modesty

The world is plainly in an evil
state Of morals-especially young
morals; older morals are always less
terrible. But how shall the world
be saved? Hood College, in Mary
land, has decided that the way to
achieve a restoration of the good old
standard of purity is by prohibiting
low-neck dresses and insisting upon
sleeves for all. To be precise, the
dean has written to mothers to in
form them that next year no dress
may be worn by a student which
does not have sleeves and which is
lower than four inches in front and
six inches in back.
This seemed a simple and complete
answer to the whole problem until,
in the news of the same day, we
came upon Mr.. Haywood Broun's re-
Elections touching bathing suits in the
Middle West. Now, as every one
knows, the Middle West is the later
home Of Puritanism, and it was dis
tressingly confusing to learn from
MIR. Broun that stockings are not
worn by women bathers in Chicago,
Salt Lake City or San Francisco.
Also that mems bathing suits upon
women are far from infrequcnt.
AS we say, the reports are dis
tinctly confusing. If the display of
bare flesh is wicked and immoral
and calculated to urge the universe
down hill, then plainly all of the Mid
die West and Far West is tobog-
gaming rapidly to perdition. And we
in the East are in a state of relative
virtue and purity.
Furthermore, on the theory that
it is not what you see but what at
tention is called to by dress that mat
ters, may not the Hood College
limited decollete attract moro inter
est than the candor of the chorus?
Evidently the subject is one that
must be treated nationally to be
really effective and sound By q
constitutional amendment, perhaps.
Meantime we await further reports
from Mr.. Broun and Maryland with
proper excitement.

The Queer Case of Senator Reed

Senator Reed, elected a district
delegate to San Francisco, was
steam-rollercd by the Missouri state
convention. His credentials were
annulled and his home district was
instructed to name some other Demo-
crat in his place.
The district convention stuck to
him, however, and reelected him.
The Democratic National Committee
and the Committee on Credentials
will now have to pass on the ques-
ton whether or not district may
be deprived Of representation be-
cause it chooses delegate unac-
ceptable to the managers in con-
troll Of a state convention.
In many cases Democratic state
bosses neutralize the Inconvenience
OF minority representation by clap
ping on the unit rule. In this state
Mr.. Murphy doesn't care much if a
few opposition delegates arc elected
He can always cast their votes. But
IN Missouri the state organization
wouldn't be satisfied merely with
carrying Senator Reeds vote around
IN its pocket. 1t wants to blacklist
and ostracize him. 1t has ruled that
ms personal opinions disqualify him
as a Democrat
The Democratic party, though pro-
Tossing to be the party of individual
liberty, is, as a rule, often intoler-
ant Of freedom Of opinion. Mr..
Reed is Democratic Senator in
good standing. He has not been out
lawod by his colleagues. He has
I frequently differed with the Admin
lstration. But SO have many other
Democratic Senators. Less than a
majority Of tho Democratic men,
bcrship Of the Senate accepted Prcsi
dent Wilson's leadership on the
peace treaty. IL Mr. Reed is cx-
Guided as district delegate, it can
only be because the Missouri state
organization is allowed to apply a
personal boycott, which would. in
principle, exclude q majority Of the
Democratic Senators.
