On! III try the rose garden by

looking very red
1t was not until after 10 O'Clock that
he re-entered the Wylie grounds and
made his way to the lovely rose garden
which was overlooked by the south
side of the old house. Marion's window
was on that side and a faint light
shone there behind rosy curtains.
The result was so wonderful that he
charmed his own senses and sat down on
a marble seat among the roses. The
most entrancing music came wandering
from the flute of the old Arab shcik.
1t was like all the love songs Of the
world-it played itself as Dorry blew
gently into the mouthpiece. The woong
strains seemed to kiss the bending roses,
seemed to meet the falling dew, seemed
to lift up to Marion's windows. He
forgot her for the moment--he was en- =
tranced with love itself. All at once
he saw misty white form coming

The Railroad INVESTIGATION.

The investigation of the railroad
problem ordered by the Senate has
opened encouragingly in the matter
of attendance. The committee room
Wednesday was crowded. Mere Gu
riosity had attracted nobody. The SUBJ
ject does not appeal in that way. 1t
is wholly devoid Of the sensational
element.
But it is the stronger by reason Of
that fact. 1t appeals to those who
know the Importance Of the problem
and the straits to which transporta-
tion has been reduced, and who appre-
ciate the necessity of finding a rem
edy which will again insure a profit
on railroad investments and salts
factory service to the public.
The law which has failed was en-
acted at a time when the effects Of
the dislocations produced by the war
were still much in evidence. Business
was out of plumb. The railroads as
were greatly run down. 1t was a very
difficult matter. therefore, to frame
legislation that would reach the spot
in circumstances SO unprecedented.
Conditions in the country are not
today what could be wished for in this
matter. But they are better under
stood than were those Of a year ago;
and for that reason this second at
tempt at transportation legislation
should be attended with better results
than has been the first. Both the leg
islators and the railroad officials now
in conference should be able TO hit
upon some policy or policies which
will take the railroad properties out
ownership and operation.

Base Ball at Soldiers Home.

A proposal has been made to have
Soldiers Home grounds on which ball
games can be played, which will serve
to divert and entertain the Veterans
resident there. This is a good plan
that should receive prompt official
sanction. 1t will serve two purposes.
to entertain the old soldiers who are
inmates of the Institution and it will
supply the residents of the surround
ing region with athletic facilities
which they greatly need. There is no
suitable space in that section for ball
games, and there is abundant room
within the grounds for a field of this
sort. The parks have been used for
base ball purposes already. In POto-
mac Park and on the White lot "dia-
monds" have been laid off and have
been constantly in use. At the Sol
diers' Home the games played would
be an object Of great interest to the
veterans, many of whom doubtless in
their youth were proficient in the
sport. This matter has been referred
to the governor Of the Soldiers Home
by the Commissioners. Gen. Bliss will
probably grant the request if it is
possible to do so within the rules Of
the institution.

Investigation Needed in Haiti.

In the face Of the terrific arraign-

patton in Haiti, now laid before the

BILE for Mr.. Harding to postpone that

Madame Curie.

Nine. Curie who, with her husband,
suit. has taken her place as one of the
foremost scientists of the world, will
learn during her brief visit to the
United States Of the degree of esteem
Nor is the welcome extended to her
characterized by that detached and
impersonal quality which might be
natural were it inspired solely by her
scientific achievements. 4 vast ma
jority of Americans in participa ting
in that welcome will make no pre-
tense of understanding the chemical
properties or scientific import of her
great discovery. They hail her rather
as woman who has made a great
contribution to her sex and to the
world, not only in the identification
Of an element the potentialities of
which have as yet been but touched
upon, but in the inspiration Of her
career as demonstrating that women
can share with men in the achievement
of great and useful ends. Nine. Curie
has indirectly done more to explode
the theory of a basic discrepancy in
the abilities of the sexes than have
all the self-conscious feminists OF her
day and generation put together.
Too often the reward of popular
esteem is withheld from the pioneers
Of scientific research during their life
time. Nine. Curie is more fortunate.
For to such scientific distinctions as
the winning of the Nobel prize and
membership in the exclusive French
Academy of Science must be added the
warmer satisfaction Of knowing that
because her discovery has made pos.
sibe the cure of a terrible disease the
deep gratitude Of humanity in general
is hers. To live in the consciousness
Of that gratitude, to see the growth
in the usefulness Of her discovery,
for her genius.
Later in her visit to the United
States, Nine. Curie is to come to
Washington. here to receive from the
hands Of President Harding the grain
of radium, paid for by popular sub
scription, the gift of the American
people. The National Capital will,
upon the occasion of her coming. dem
onstrate the spirit of affection and
esteem in which that gift is proffered.

ably will advance into the Ruhr re-
gion and take possession.

1t is quite natural to look forward
to this possibility in view of the record
already written in prior treaty recog-
milton, or lack of it, in Germany. And
it will not be at all surprising to hear
of efforts by the German Industrial
lists to move mills and other industrial
plants out of the Ruhr region within
the next six weeks. Already, indeed,
some Of the banks in that section have
moved their securities eastward in
anticipa ton of possible occupation.
But most # the material wealth in the
Ruhr region is fixed. The mines can
not be moved. The krupp works at
Essen are too heavy to be rolled off
even by the remarkably efficient rn0V-
ing devices employed by the Germans
in Belgium and in France during the
occupation.
Disarmament is the cruX of the
question. VIII Bavaria consent to
comply with the allied terms. against
which that region has always pro
tested? The government at Berlin has
from time to time averred that it could
not make the bad Bavarian boy be-
have. The allies will not look to Ba
varia, but to Germany, for compliance.
Perhaps Berlin would he glad to have
the allies apply direct methods to the
Bavarian recalcitrant. for there is no
love lost between Berlin and Munich.
The Ruhr region is not in Bavaria.
1t is in the Prussian area. OCCupa-
tiOn of it will not he a sectional mat
ter in its effects. however, but will
react upon the whole of Germany.
The truth is, the allies have a bayonet
planted against Germany'S heart, and
that is the only thing that will bring
results.

Rate by MaiI-PayabIe in Advance.
MARYLAND and yiryfnia.
Complete, Yet "Scrappy.'

Nothing more complete could be
asked than the formal official an
nouncement of the German govern
ment's acceptance of the allied'repara-
ton demands. The text Of the reply
delivered at London by the German
minister is an acquiescencc at every
point, without equivocation or condl-
as to Germany's "ability' to carry out
the obligations and demands. In short.
il is a 100 per cent surrender. uncon-
ditional and complete.
Whatever mental reservations there
NAV have been in Berlin, and what
ever hopes may be entertained of fu-
ture developments favorable to Ger
many in effecting a change in the
reparations program, the record
stands made in terms of full pledge
of performance. But so was the ac-
ceptanCe Of the general peace terms
when Germany's representatives sign
ed at Versailles the treaty prepared
by her late enemies. And in prac-
llCdllN no respect tS ~
financial or otherwise, has Germany
fulfilled them, though nearly two
years have elapsed since the treaty
was signed.
A feeling of doubt as to Germany's
good faith is natural in the circum-
stances. 1t is not confined to allied
lands, but is felt even in Germany
itself. For example, the pan-German
Deutsche Zeitung says: THE German
people. insofar as it has yet been able
to think and feel will not have any
thing in common with the government.
For us this document is but scrap
Of paper
If this newspaper reflects any gen.
eral German view the expectation over
there is that the pledge will be evaded
or ignored. Even those journals which
approved the signing regard it as an
act of compulsion. There is yet to
be heard from that land one word
expressing a feeling Of real, honorable
requirement, of genuine acceptance
Of sincere obligation.
nThis means that at every stage of
the process of compliance IN the dis
armament business, in the trial Of the
war criminals and in the reparations
payments. Germany must be subjected
to pressure, continual and unrelenting.
There is one obligation that the
German people. and through them the
German government. have not been
brought to realize or to acknowledge,
and that is the obligation to regain
confidence. 1t cannot be written into
any treaty or protocol or supple
mentary agreement. 1t cannot, in
fact, be reduced to writing. 1t is a
thought. wish, sentiment, spirit.
And. unfortunately for the world, and
especially unfortunate for Germany.
1t Is lacking there.

Tariff Divisions.

The emergency tariff bill passed the
Senate by vote Of So to 2s. More
than two to one. One republican-Mr
Moses of New Hampshire-opposed
the measure. Seven democrats
Broussard and Ransdell Of Louisiana,
Jones OF New Mexico. Kendrick OF
Wyoming. Myers Of Montana. Pitt
man Of Nevada and Sheppard Of
Texas-supported the measure
The bill carried the farming inter-
ests conspicuously to the fore. New
Hampshire is not a farming state.
Louisiana. New Mexico, Wyoming,
Montana, Nevada and Texas have
large farming interests. This one
vote in opposition and these seven
votes in support may, therefore. be
accounted for on grounds familiar in
politics, and. for that matter. in many
things.
We shall have to wait until the
general tariff revision bill Is taken up
before we can get a line on the in
fluence Of the war on the policy Of
protection-as to whether tho repub.
licans now stand where they once
stood. and the democrats where they
once stood.
This bill will be drawn on protection
prescriptions. It will not be a farm.
