AN ANTICIPATED RESULT

Correction of the Stacker list as
published by the war department
still proceeds. Rhode Island had
the distinction last April of having
the largest percentage Of deserter
cases of any state in the Union. Her
total was 2,021, but recent recheck-
ing has cut the number to 464, with
further reductions in prospect. That
is one of the results sought and an
ticipated when the war department
made the lists public. In no other
way could the official records be
corrected. The thousands Of veter-
ans whose names have been stricken
from the tentative lists of slackers
may now rest assured that the war
records at Washington bear no
stain against their names. Had the
lists not been published crying in
justice would have been done every
one of those brave men.

FAIR TO BOTH SIDES

1t is fortunate for the countr,
that the discretion lodged in the
President by the Transportation Act
is to be exercised by man of Mr.
Harding's breadth of vision. At the
| present moment the roads owe the
Government about $3.50, 100000 or
account of additions and better
ments made to their property during
the period of Federal control. Or
the other hand the government owe:
the roads between $500, 100000 ant
$1,500,000,000, depending largely
upon whether the claims of the road:
based on inefficiency of labor during
Federal control are finally upheld BY
the courts. The balance of the a.
mount is made up of sums due the
roads for compensation and under the
six months Federal guarantee. #.
President Harding could, if he
chose to do so, insist that the sum
due the Government from the roads
be set over in it's entirety against
the sum due the roads from the
Government. Instead the President
has determined, after consultation
with Secretary of the Treasury, Mel
Ion, to permit the roads to fund
the money due the Government on
account of capital expenditures. Six
per cent bonds will be turned over
to the Treasury in the amount of
about $500,000,000 and the roads
will be furnished cash for an equiva-
lent amount. The transaction is in
no sense gift of money to the roads.
1t is merely phase of the ultimate
financial adjustment that must be
made between the Government and
the roads. The latter are permitted
to postpone payment of their obli-
cations to the Treasury. while the
Treasury pays at once a part of the
total owed to the roads.
1t is said that the payment of the
money will enable the railroads to
pay all bills already incurred for
supplies, and permit expenditures
for repairs that are sorely needed. 1t |

receive employment when the new
funds become available. Secretary |

FOR GENERAL APPLICATION

The man who claims to be pro-
tectionist but is for protection on
the products of his own community
only, is no protectionist at all. He
is merely a demagogue trying to Sc
cure favor by appealing to selfish
interest. If protection is sound in
principal, is should be applied to
every commodity needing it, re-
gardless of geography or class in
terest. There are quite likely some
commodities that do not need a pro-
tective tariff, but they are relatively
few, for the great marjority of COM
modities can be produced in other
countries cheaper than they can
here.

MANY PEOPLE ARE
 LEARNING ITALIAN
Instructor at Mount Holyoke Finds That Study Of This Latin
 Language Is Increasing.

South Hadley. Mass. Feb. 11.-A marked increase in the number of persons studying the Italian Ian guage in this country is attributed in part to the war and in part to the celebration this year of the 60oth an niversary of the death of Dante, by pr. Mary Vance Young, professor of Romance languages and literature at Mount Holyoke college.
 "Ono of tho interesting and unex- pected consequences of the war;" she said. Ifs tho increase in the study of Italian. Figures lately compiled in the New York high schools show 13,- 900 students of Italian as against 300 of German. It seems probable that when things finally settle Italian may have come into its own. Undoubted- ly it has never received the attention due Italy's superlatively beautiful literature and the importance of its great men.
 Tn this country there is the addi- tional fact that so many Italians come yearly to our shores who with proper instruction are capable of making needed contributions to our culture and industry. Perhaps an in- centive is found just now in the cele- brauons of the 600th anniversary of the death of Dante which will take place this year. An even larger group of readers Is turning over the pages of the most spiritual of all the great est geniuses.'
