One Bite of the Cherry.

- REAT BRITAIN and France seriously
NJ considering treaty of settlement Of all their
differences. 1t has proved almost hopeless to un-
dertake to consider them one at a time piecemeal
and from time to time. Each new occasion brings
its own difference The Silesan situation has been
veritable kaleidoscope, but hardly more so than
was reparations, than this may be again.
There has been like conflict of opinion. if not
OF vital interests in Asia Minor, to the Turks
and Greeks, the Arabs and Syria The same sort
OF thing bobs up to Constantnople, to trade
relations with Russia, the Italian interest on the
east Adriac, relations with the Balkan states, the
present relief and future position OF Austria and
so through the list
1t would seem wise if all these differences
could be settled at time, if such treaty
had to be triparty by including Italy. Yet how
little this world really is and how closely inter-
woven is shown by the fact that the chief OBJ
lection, or obstacle to such treaty, developed in
preliminary discussion is that everywhere it would
involve the rights and interests of other nations.
Every single government in Europe would be con-
cerned in such treaty because affected by it, and
also the United States. Indeed France seems to
hesitate largely through feeling that interests
intimate, that this government might be Of
Tended by such two-power action without consulta-
ton and approval by it
Yet 1t surely IS the sensible course Tor these
governments to agree upon program, to thresh
out all their differences and to have a complete
understanding. Possibly this might stop the
everlasting publicity which seems inspired by de-
berately evil forces, telling that France and Great
Britain the verge of open break; that
their entente is strained quite the breaking point
and so on ad nauseam
In the same way, to the end this govern
ment might do we'll to make bite of Americas
differences with Japan. 1t but productive
of other troubles at best only postponement to
undertake a settlement by items. Why clean
the plate with definite. inclusive understanding?
Even pin pricks may develop ncurable wounds and
suspicion always feeds the inconsequent.

SAYS Greed Caused Riots.

To the Editor. The Washington Herald:
II was with a mixed feeling of
respect and regret that l read the
article by J. c. Cunningham in this
mornings Herald was indeed
glad to see him speak for the COL
ored man in this, his dark hour of
regret, however,
that he is under the impression that
the riot was caused by the ever
convenient cry or assault. AS .
matter of fact, the riot was caused
by the whites wanting the ground
on which the colored people, had
builded such magnificent homes. also
to get their holdings in the valuable
oil lands.
This thing has been brewing for
months, and a newspaper account
has it that the colored people were
warned that when the riot came
they alone would be made to take
the entire responsibility. The cry
of assault covers a multitude of
moo violences.
The cry is a bugsboo the same as
social equality" and negro domi-
nation" and political equality" and
there is neither one of the three.

NEW YORK, June 1o-Noon on
Bolsheviki Boulevsrd-Fifth avenue
below Thirty-fourth- is the hour
when the great American melting
pot comes to a boil and spills all
over the sidewalks of little old New
York. Queer types mill and jostle
about in their hours respite from
lsbors in the lofts. Longbesrded
patriarchs, their white boards
stained by countless Russian cigar
cites, walk along with their hands
clasped behind their. backs.
The younger garment workers
set - the swarthy complexioned
young Jewish girls, round and
plump, the nattily-dressed. curly
haired young men-swarm about the
hokey pokey and hot sandwich men
and when the hurdy gurdy men
drive up with their barrel organs
they dance on the asphalt.
In and out of the crowds weave
the fiddish newspaper vendors and
the screaming headlines in the
queer Yiddish characters always tell
of some new phase of the Russian
situation. Students desiring to
study the ethnology OF Central Eu-
rope can choose no better time in
which they may mingle freely with
Czecho- o-Throw-backs and other
quaint nations.
All of them came over in the
steerage and they are working their
way up. The avenue at noon, Hood
ed with sun. stirs their pulse. They
see all about them big brass signs
of names of their own countrymen
who came with packs on their backs
and now lead the limousine life.
The girls seep up the avenue TO
peek into the inviting shops that
like coquette display their window
charms. Some day they, too, may
wear the fne furs OF the psrsding
mannikins. Their eyes are big with
dreams even though they work long
hours in cage-like lofts.

Industries, in a protest meeting
held last night In New York by the
New York section Of the American
Chemical society.
They declared that the proposed
legislation would handicap the
manufacture Of dyes. injure the
high explosives industry. cripple
chemical warfare, and prevent the
carrying out Of many processes
essential in peace or necessary TO
the national defense. They accused
the advocates Of prohibition with
preventing the use Of alcohol for
the preparation Of medicine and for
many other purposes which con-
serve the health of the people. Even
the smusements Of Americans
would be greatly curtsiied. for il
was stated that under the new
Nolstesd bill there would not be
alcohol available for manufactur-
ing the celluloid Aims Of the moving

DEPLOREs IMPROPER

Mr.. Brush asserted that there

timber in the country. Much lum-

cheaper species could as we'll be

The uses of lumber are being ex-

of timber which has been chemically

START FOREST FIRES.

The great forest enemies are
fires. which Mr.. Brush asserted
were mainly of human origin.
Campers are responsible for many.
locomotives whizzing by scattering
sparks are also blamable for a
large proportion of forest fires. Mr..
Brush declared.
ITO preserve the forests, we need
first of all a campaign of educa-
tion-to instruct the people in the
dangers of their carelessness with
fire. And We need also a program
Of forest development and regula-
tion. We need to plant two trees
where one grew before. We need
more forest patrols. Aeroplanes are
being used to good effect in forest
protection and their use will un-
doubtedly be greatly extended. The
difficulties of airplanes is that in
the forests it is dificult to land.
Some of the planes used in the for
estry service are consequently built
on the pontoon style. thus enabling
them to land on lakes and other
small waters"

NOTES SIMILAR RESULTS
ON SMALLER SCALE HERE.

And similar results. even IL on
a smaller scale, are being repro-

of acres of farm land are being
ruined as a result OF the denuding
of the land of trees"
Aside from the agricultural siG-
nificance. Mr.. Brush declared that
the destruction OF the timber re-
sources would spell disaster in
other directions. Conditions are
rapidly approaching that point"
said Mr.. Brush. where the only
substantial forest reserves are on
the Pacific coast. The coast. how
ever. is rot the point of utilization
Of the timber. As a consequence.
the timber to a greater extent year
after year has to be hauled from
the coast where IT is grown to the
east, where IL is turned into the
articles OF commerce. with freight
rates. as they are. 1t will be seen
that the cost Of all articles In whicn
wood factors thus becomes enor-
mously increased. How much bet
ter it would be II the forests were
better maintained in the east, SO
that the east could produce it's own
timber. with the consequent de-
crease in the freight rates"
