Literary Digest in recent issue. The
Osaka Mainichi, which sees peril to
the nation in the prevalence of self
slaughter, acknowledges the excel.
lences of the Christian view that sui.
eide. instead of being merely an apol-
ogy for failure, is a crime. Many sui
cides in Japan are due to the fact that
the Japanese have "less attachment
to life than foreigners" and also to
the traditions of feudal times when
they belittled life.
The Osaka Mainichi says further
"Death-much more suicide-means
evasion OF responsibility and
the notion that those who commit sui
eide have the keenest sense of respon-
sibility is wrong Suicide is the en-
bodiment of egoism and Irresponsible.
,ty. One of the strong points of the
Christian people is their conviction
that to kill ones self Is as criminal
as to kill Others"

A Comedians Tragedy.

A celebrated motion picture actor is
in serious trouble, under charge OF
completely in the death Of a woman In
the most shameful and scandalous cir.
cumstances. Last week his films
crowded the theaters. Now, in quick
anticipation Of public condemnation,
they are being barred from the screens
by local exhibitors, and pressure ID
brought to bear upon the distributors
and producers to withdraw them en-.
tirely from circulation. This is an in.
teresting reaction. A few days ago
people laughed immoderately at the
antics of 1.-The fattest man in filmdom, ''
whose name has become synonymous
with mirth, and who has probably
caused more cachinations than any
other. with possibly one exception.
Now his picture would probably evoke

strong disapproval.

says:

democratic questions. When one

four men representing the United
States at the conference can stand as
a unit on all questions"
This is the popular notion and ex-
pectation. Messrs. Hughes, Root and
Lodge are republicans. and Mr.. Under
wood is democrat in matters Of party
politics. IN other matters-matters of
international moment-their politics

The limitation of armaments, as
proposed by this government. is a mat
ter of international moment. 1t touches
all nations. and particularly such as

their fighting establishments and now
feel the necessity of retrenchment.
Economy is the word everywhere.
and in this country both parties are
committed to the policy. Last years
national platforms declared for a
lowering of governmental expendi-
lures. and the republicans. who won,
are now engaged in a strenuous effort
to redeem their promise. and the demo-
Gratis are watching them to see that
they do.
AS for the larger question Of peace,
no politics can be found in that.
Everybody wants peace. and is willing
to promote intelligent and practical
means looking to that end.

concerns the private life Of q per-
former. His pictures would be just as
funny as ever-if they were ever
funny, and the laughter of millions
is evidence. The same old box Of tricks
would be as amusing, the comic slides
and falls. the preposterous situations,
the grotesque costumes and ridiculous
hats, the abandon Of encounter with
mudholes and other unpleasant places,
these would all be true to the old type,
but those beholding the screen could
not forget the man in the actor" The
shameful episode would be foremost
in their thought.
The American people are decent and
clean living, and while at times they
may condone misconduct there is a
standard Of behavior that must not be
ignored. A tradition has prevailed for
many years that the people OF the
stage have a different code of morals
from that which prevails in ordinary
life. tradition that is most unjust to
the majority of the men and women
comprising the dramatic profession.
The moral standard on the stage is
probably as high as that elsewhere.
Those who are in that work are mere.
ly more conspicuous. and when slips
and lapses occur among them they
are noted more distinctly and bruited
more loudly. The stage and screen
people live in the open. so to speak.
The latter particularly seek notoriety,
for advertising purposes. But in this
case publicity has been unwelcome. 1t
may prove the utter ruin Of the chief
performer in this shocking tragedy.
whatever may be the outcome Of the
case in court.

An Interesting Report Persists.

The Stars cable from Paris men,
tions the persistency of the report
there that NJ. Clemenceau will re-
appear in politics. He is not now a
member of the French parliament, nor
the proprietor of a Paris newspaper.
His friends hope to see him soon active
In both fields again. He shakes his
head.
Let us hope they are within good
reckoning. The Tiger is not suited to
repose. Action is his element, and he
long disported in it to the profit and
entertainment of his country. He
added to the gayety of the nation, and
France likes contributor of that
kind.
He is an octogenarian of much ex-
perience and many sides. At times
humorous, at times cynical. he is in
either mood and at all times forcible
and direct. and scores.
He is represented as restive under
criticism of his course at the Paris
peace conference. His enemies-and
lney are HeltIlST lew III HuIQDeT HOr
obscure in station-have been picking
some of his work to pieces, and he
thinks unjustly.
Once more in harness-holding
forth both as an editor and as legis-
lator-M. Clemenceau could show the
qualities which have made him IA
nous. Both his pen and his tongue
are sharp, as many an antagonist has
discovered: and the years have not
blunted either.
Give the Tiger what in America we
call "a show for his white alley" His
years of public service entitle him to
a full hearing on all matters with
which as servant Of the people he
has had to do. He was the leading
figure at the peace conference. and as
the coming conference in this town is
reviving everywhere discussion of
what was done at Paris this interest
ing Frenchman is entitled to his share

Explosions at Halifax.

Nearly four years ago munitions
ship was destroyed by fire and ex-
plosion in the harbor Of Halifax. and
the blast wrecked a third Of the
city and destroyed 1900 lives. 1t was
one of the most shocking disasters
ever experienced on this hemisphere.
Naturally, it left a deep impression
upon the minds Of all the survivors.
Early yesterday morning flve oil tanks
in the same city exploded, arousing
the people from their sleep and caus-
ing an instant rush to the streets.
They had not forgotten the awful
times of December, 1917, when crash
after crash destroyed their houses.
smashed their windows. crushed them,
cut them. literally disintegrated the
bodies Of the dead and laid waste many
blocks of homes. They had become
Explosion shy" Indeed. any very loud
noise occurring in Halifax would pro-
duce the same effect, and it will be
many years before that apprehension
passes. The children of the present
generation who have memory OF the
great blast of 1917 will retain that
dread in just the same way those who
have once suffered from great flood
become timid when word arrives that
waters are rising, and those who
have passed through confagration
look with sinking hearts upon the
reddening of the sky in even any small
fire. Fear that is based upon an actual
experience with catastrophe is one Of
the most enduring Of the emotions. to
be revived by the least suggestion OF
sight or sound sociable with the first
experience. Fortunately. at Halifax
the gas explosion, while costly in terms
Of property, was Of small moment in
comparison with the destruction OF
1917, and no lives were lost. But even
this escape will not lessen the panic
fear Of the Haligonians whenever the
air is rent with violent sound.

Washington Alley Dwellings.

Melvin c. Hazen, District surveyor,
tells the unvarnished truth concerning
the inhabited alleys of Washington in
his recently submitted annual report
to Engineer Commissioner Kutz.
Many of these alleys" he says. "are
densely crowded, insanitary and a
menace to the health and welfare of
the community. They are breeding
places for crime, where policemen dare
not venture without endangering their
lives. They harbor 'bootleggers' and
criminals of all classes, and. on ac-
count of their inaccessibility, form
splendid hiding places for all VINO are
engaged in the violation of the law
What many of these alleys are" all
are capable Of becoming The least
Objectionable of them today is a dis
grace to the National Capital. Police,
welfare workers, reporters, clergymen.
inspectors, all enlightened persons
who, in the course of their duties, have
occasion to visit these byways, have
long been united in their condemnation
thereof, in their insistence that "alley
dwellings" in Washington should be
abolished. Yet because a great ma
jority of Washingtonians continue ut
terly unaware of the darkness, the
filth, the squalor and the degradation
in which the hundreds of men and
women and little, impressionable chill
dren who compose the "alley popula-
ton" of Washington live. those alleys
have continued to exist.
A law closing the dwellings in ques-
tion is upon the statute books of the
District. The operation of that law,
postponed during the war period, is
scheduled to be put into effect one year
after the peace treaty with Germany
is proclaimed by the President That,
in the light of conditions testified to by
Mr.. Hazen, there should be this addi-
tional delay before undertaking a task
which so urgently demands prompt
and vigorous action is hard to endure
If means can be devised whereby the
law may be made operative in the i'm
mediate future. those means should be
employed. Failing in this, every step
preliminary to the abolishment of the
disgrace in question should now be
taken that, when the law shall once
become operative, a civic duty, too
long neglected. may be swiftly dis
charged.

A variety Of ingenious explanations
Of the tobogganing tendencies of their

The most popular Of these is probably
that which insists that the whole trou-
BILE is due to the just completed pay
ment on reparation account Of 1,000,-
900, 900 marks in gold. The popularity
Of this premise results from the con-
clusion then argued toward. which is
to the effect that bankruptcy and in
ability to proceed under the repara-
tion agreement would result from any
insistence for the prompt payment Of
the next installment due.
Those who have a direct interest in
German reparation payments will.
