Just now announced. Final terms of

Afghans than before. And in view of
the troubled state of affairs in India
this development cannot fail to be
disqpieting at London.
Soviet diplomacy has been at work

of the Russian government is a pos.
sible development. Such a recognition
could not fail to have a stimulating ef-

Who Ran the War in the Hills I?

After peace has been re-established
in the West Virginia hills the United
States government should do some
sharp questioning to find out certain
facts. 1t should ascertain first what
form of organization there was among
the marching miners. whose defiance
of the state laws compelled federal in
tervention. 1t should learn further
more who provided the arms or the
means OF buying them which these
men carried into the hills. 1t should
find out who furnished their subsist-
ence supplies. 1t is impossible to send
two or three thousand men on a mill
tary expedition without some sort OF
commissary. Any one who has ever
been in that region knows that a free
booting expedition Of 1000 and more
could not possibly live on the coun-
try" 1t is not fully settled. generally
titled land. 1t is mostly wooded. rocky
and rough. Two thousand men would
clean out all food supplies within a
radius of ten miles Of camp inside OF
two days. 1t follows that there must
have been some sort of organization.
Not even the most fanatic OF these
people would have stayed up in the
hills starving. And where did their
ammunition come from to keep up
such a continuous fire as that which
was reported on the eve of the arrival
of federal troops Who directed the
campaign? These men certainly did
not go upon their own hook without
leadership or guidance. There was
some plan of operation. Particular
bands were directed to certain strategic
points. In short. there was general
ship, whatever it's quality.
1t is most important that these
questions be answered in order to find
out who was responsible for this bit
OF warfare, who inspired il and for
what purpose. If the United States
secret service cannot learn these
things it is not functioning very ef-
fectively. If the facts are known in
the Department of Justice they should
as soon as possible be laid before the
public: that is to say. as soon as quiet
is restored and law is re-established.
If they are not known they should be.
A veritable insurrection has been
undertaken. and in circumstances that
arouse the direct suspicion that sim
lister force is at work in what has be-
come the most sensitive section of the
United States to the end Of provoking
a direct conflict with the federal gov
ernment. What the people want to
know today is who started it and car
ried it through to the point of inter-
vention by federal forces and stopped
it Just on the verge of battle.

American Ships for Americans.

Senator Knox. who sailed from New
York Saturday on the George Wash
ington for a months rest in England
and Scotland, said on the eve of de-
parture:
Recently when l was on the May
flower with President Harding and
Mr.. Lasker. the latter spoke eloquent
ly of this ship. but / had engaged
passage on her before that. Why
shouldn't we travel on American ves-
sels?'
The senator sets an excellent eX-
ample. Americans should travel on
American ships. They should use
American ships, too. for freight carry.
dustries is a most worthy thing to do
1t is enjoined upon all. and whenever
observed works well.
Our latest industry is the ocean in
dustry. and it needs our utmost sue
cor. We have started under Difficult
ties. Shipping everywhere is depressed
Nations that have long been success
full sea carriers are feeling the de
preston. New entrants. therefore
need not feel discouraged.
When the turn comes it will come to
US as to others. The essential thing
for us now is to start right. Then
keeping right will not be difficult. We
must bear our shipping in mind, and
also the task we have set for our
selves-the task of showing our ships
in every harbor of Importance in the
world. and delivering our own goods
wherever we may have had success
in selling them.
When our freight ships and pas
senger ships are operating on a profit
able basis we shall have full occasion
to congratulate ourselves. and full as
surance that prosperity has returned.

Porto Rico and Independence.

Porto Ricans residing in New York
are opposed to the recently inaugural
ed Governor of Porto Rico. and by
resolution, formally adopted. to be
presented to the President and to Con-
gress, request his recall.
These men take up the quarrel OF
the independence party in the island.
Gov. Reilly is the target of both be-
cause of his aggressive stand against
independence. In his inaugural ad-
dress he advised the people to consider
statehood If they desired a change in
their political relations to the United
States. and subsequently he refused to
appoint to office men committed to the
policy of Independence.
On these two propositions Gov. Reilly
is right, and will have American senti-
ment behind him. Independence for
Porto Rico is out of the question. We
are not weakening but strengthening
ourselves in the West Indies. Since
taking over Porto Rico by conquest
we have taken over the Virgin Is
lands by purchase. and are engaged
now in establishing American forms
Of government there. We hope to
make those islands. as we hope to
make Porto Rico, thoroughly content
ed under the Stars and Stripes.
AS to appointments to Office in Porto
Rico, what other position in justice
to himself and the authority he repre-
sents could Gov. Reilly take? Should
he place the commission of the-United
States in the hands of men working
for putting the island outside Ameri.
can rule? Would that be good politics
or straight common sense?
Gov. Reilly has been in office only
about a month, but long enough to
show the Porto Ricans where he
stands on the most important issue
before them.

bring about the downfall of the cab
met before the Washington confer
ence on disarmament. M. Clemenceau
is still in Corsica.
When Theodore Roosevelt returned
from his African hunt he plunged at
once into. politics. and thereby made
a mistake. He should have taken the
time necessary to inform himself about
all that had taken place in his alb
sence. and to reflect on a course OF
action. But, impulsive and impatient
he laid his course from a one-sided
account of matters and came a crop

son. and Wilson. despite all that
Roosevelt could do against him. got a
second term.
Ever since his return from his In
dian hunt, where the Tiger shot tigers
speculation has played around M
Clemenceau's plans. Everybody has
expected him to re-enter politics. He
knows no other game. and he likes the
game he knows. But he has taken the
time necessary to survey the field and
perfect his plans, and now he an
nounces ready.
If he starts after the BRAND cabinet
in good earnest there should be fun at
least. AS toppler Of cabinets he
holds the record. Indeed. he had over
turned so many that when the world
war broke out he was. by his own con-
fession, the most unpopular man in
France. The years have not tanned
his fighting spirit, as this latest an
nouncement about him shows.
