Flag Courtesy to Guests.

When a foreign guest reaches the
city of Washington, whether he be a
military dignitary or a statesman of
eminence, he should be greeted with q
display Of the flag of his nation.
Washington is a little bit slack in
this respect. 1t has so many guests
from overseas that it has grown some
what Indifferent to the courtesy of
fiag-showing. During the war it
showed the flags Of the allies freely,
but since the armistice it has lapsed
somewhat. Yesterday Marshal Foch
reached town. and there was no.
ticeable lack of the French flag,
though a few of the business houses
showed combinations Of foreign flags.
People Of other countries, perhaps,
put more stress upon the flag than
Americans do. When they go abroad
they miss their own emblem. To see
it flying in a foreign land gives them
great JOY. 1t should be the scrupulous
care Of the people Of Washington, of
al, American cities. to accord to every
foreign visitor of distinction the
courtesy of a special display Of the
flag of his country.

A Floating Sample Case.

The American Manufacturers Elk.
port Association has devised a novel
means of showing goods. 1t is fittiAs
out a steamship with samples of
American products, and will send 1t
on a years cruise, touching at the
principal ports of South America,
thence to South Africa, Australia and
the far east, and then home by the
way of the Suez canal and Europe"
A great deal can he packed into so
huge a sample case: and if the long
voyage is made under the proper su-
pervision, with the advertising in the
ports visited well attended to. the re-
suit should be profitable.
In the matter of extending foreign
trade our proposition is that our
products will bear the closest inspec-
tion, and that it is only necessary to
show them to establish market for
them.
BY the novel means mentioned they
will be collected in quantity. variety
and quality, and shown to advantage.
At the ports visited the stay can be
timed to suit the interest aroused. so
as to admit of the fullest inspection
by all who may have trade in mind.
This spirit of invention should be
pushed far and hard. We have en-
tered a field against some formidable
and highly successful rivals. and shall
encounter them in their best form.
They do not underrate US, and are ex-
pecting US to show up in our best
form. Let us not disappoint them, but
give them a run for their money
which will at once gather in good re
turns and increase their respect for
our enterprise and ingenuity

A Feature of the Conference.

A particularly Interesting feature of
the armament conference will be the
presence Of far larger number Of
foreign journalists-men trained in
close observation. and able by travel
to assess a country and its character
and make comparisons with other
countries-than ever gathered before
IN the United States at one time.
Moreover. they will find the people
Of America In full swing. If they want
to look into business and see how It is
conducted. there will be opportunity.

employment and unrest on the ma.
tional life, the picture will be in plain
visw. And. most Of all. If they want

chime operates, the wheels will be In

Mr.. Bryan on the Conference.

Speaking in Boston yesterday at a
luncheon given by the Boston Club.
Mr.. Bryan declared that "the question
of whether the armament conference
is to succeed is one of religion, not OF
politics.
Continuing, he said:
1--WE must build on a doctrine of
love. cooperation and friendship. l
would put on the door of the confer
ence building: The United States
stands ready to go as far as any other
nation in the world will 60 If this
conference fails. then you are going
to have a propaganda for the biggest
army and biggest navy in the world.
I know what is going on and what
will happen if the conference falls"
Mr.. Bryan wants the conference to
succeed. He is a sincere lover OF
peace, and has testified both by word
and action to his feelings. While Sec
retary of State he negotiated a number
Of treaties with foreign governments
having peace as their object.
But he does not serve the cause of
peace, or promote any of the interests
of the coming conference, by counting
politics out of the equation. AS a mat
ter of fact, politics measurably and
economy largely explain the confer
ence. Only politicians will sit at the
conference table. and only men versed
in worldly municipalities. economy.
and the like-will act as advisers to
the confereeS.
The conference will not fail unless
it permits itself to be diverted from its
real purpose. and neglects to employ
the agencies demanded in the further
ance of a great end upon strictly prac-
tical lines, such as are traced by the
Presidents call and explained by him
and Secretary Hughes.

Bridges.

The Board of Trade committee on
bridges has adopted report which
emphasizes the Importance of replac-
ing the Calvert street and Chain
bridges as soon as possible. In re.
spect to the former the report de-
clares it to be unsightly and abso.
lutely inadequate to take care of the
existing traffic. No mention is made
on the score of safety. AS to the
Chain bridge. the committee declares
that while it cannot be said to be
! absolutely unsafe, provided the laws
are obeyed. yet nevertheless it is en-.
tirely unsuitable for the existing heavy
traffic"
When the late Senator Mcmillan
was chairman of the District commit
tee he made Il point of driving about
the District-motor cars We're not
then commonly in use-to note condi
tions with u view to their betterment
He was particularly interested in
bridges, and it is related that at a
certain point he was warned not to
let his horses cross a bridge faster
than a walk. He declared that he con-
sidered it a disgrace to the capital to
have any bridge SO insecure that it
could not be used without restriction
He thereupon proceeded to secure pro.
vision for the immediate Strengthening
and eventual replacement Of that par
ticular viaduct.
The Calvert Street bridge has been
the subject Of complaint and criticism
for years. 1t is unsightly, and at best
a makeshift structure in terms of mod
ern bridge building. 1t is not con
venient. being too narrow-lessened
in width, indeed. to reduce the danger
of collapse-and motors and other
vehicles crossing 1t must encroach
upon the car tracks. Repeated recon-,
mendations have been made for its re-
placement. The Board of Trade COM
mittee's proposal is but the latest. II
should be the cause of an urgent Off.
cial recommendation needed in the
framing of the next appropriation bill
The Chain bridge is of increasing
Importance, being much more used
now than a few years ago, owing to
the Improvement of the roads in Vir.
ginia. Yet. as the committee report
states, it is not suitable for heavy
traffic, and it's early replacement is
urgently desirable. The completion OF
the new Key bridge will not appreci.
ably relieve Chain bridge of it's use.
Senator McMillan's standard in the
matter of bridges should be observed
and the District given an equipment
of the best structures possible.

Farm Women Organize.

farm women has been launched in

standpoints

Of improved machinery and better
methods. These women, being farm
women, know this. but find courage
for their task in the thought ex-
pressed by their chairman-Work is
not an end; it is q means. We have
yisioned the things worth while, and
the hard work that it takes to at
tain them is not drudgery.
Nor is their undertaking without
encouraging precedent. Time was
when every farm boy and farm girl
impatiently awaited the day when
the way would open to the city and
a chance in the world: Now, with
canning clubs and pig clubs and corn
clubs and the like. the farm boys
and girls are winning county. state,
uational and international prizes. not
for essay writing, nor for oratory,
nor for good work in school, but for
better preserving methods. getting
maximum pork or beef production
at minimum expense, growing oetteI
corn and more of it to the acre. and
for ability to judge live stock: Once
the only way to recognition for the
youth on the farm was through the
city. Now it reaches out to him on
the farm. =

Mr.. Harding and 1924.

Secretary Fall at Atlanta suggested
a second term for Mr.. Harding. Sew.
eral things make the suggestion very

Unlike its rival, the republican party
is not prejudiced, at least has never
declared, against a second term in the
presidency. It reelected Lincoln,
Grant, Mckinley and practically
Roosevelt. 1t renominated Harrison
and Taft. Hayes declined to be con-
sidered for second term. while

Marshal Foch.

Ferdinand Foch is the man who led
the French forces and their allies tc
victory in 1918. Under him as the
generalissimo, named after the Ger
man drive of that spring had come
close to breaking the allied lines. the
united forces delivered their crushing
blows in strategic plan that out
nlaneuvered the enemy at every point
In this last phase of the war Marshal
Foch displayed the talents for which
he was well known in France and
perhaps in foreign military circles be
fore 1917. He had been for years be
fore the war at work upon the task
of teaching France how to fight. He
knew that another war with Germany
was inevitable. He knew that the
Prussian victory of 1901 had but one
sure conclusion, that of an ultimate re
newal of war. And he was devoted tC
the work of instilling into the minds
of the younger soldiers Of France Ger
tain principles Of tactics and strategy
When the war came in 1914 with
stunning suddenness, France was
ready in point of understanding
though not as ready as Germany in
point of material and person mel
Thanks to the work of Foch and his
colleagues a substantial structure OF
military organization had been created
and mobilization resulted in de
fensive force that with the aid of the
British and the initial help of Bel
gfum sufficed to stem the tide Of Ger
man invasion at the Nfarne.
1t was at the first battle of the Marine
that Ferdinand Foch displayed his
skill as a strategist- Though sub
ordinate to Joffre, he was recognized
as master of maneuver, and it was
appropriate that his blow at the Ger
man center should have been the
cause of the collapse of the kaiser S
army and its withdrawal to the stage
Of trench warfare.
Foch's selection as generalissimo at
the crisis in 1918 was the happiest
that could have been made. He had
won the confidence and esteem Of all
the armies. The need was for STRAIT.
egist. Germany could be beaten only
by maneuvers, for she sought to
crush the allied lines before the masses
of American troops steadily flowing
overseas could strengthen them be-
yond the breaking point.
True to his precept that battle
Is a struggle between two wills. Foch
willed to strike the enemy at the point
Of its greatest supposed strength, the
apex of the wedge that was seeking
to drive through the allied lines. And
again at the Marine he won his vic
tory. Now this great soldier, this
splendid patriot, this modest man Of
victory. has come here to receive
honors from the American Legion and
TO participate in the councils at the
armament conference. To every
American his name is known. To all
his presence here is an inspiration.
He Is modest, unobtrusive, quiet, in
tent upon the work in hand, but ap-
preciative of attentions and cour-
tesies. In 1918 he won the war. In
1921 he wins the hearts of the Ameri-
can people.

Rnssia Can Be Fed.

A more hopeful light on conditions
in Russia is given by the report OF
Col. William Haskell. head OF the
American relief administrator IN
,ow from the Volga region. He finds
that while about 100000 persons
are affected by the famine. not all OF
them are without food. and he esti-
mates that rations for 100000 people
for six months would avert loss OF
Ooo, 900, or SO a person. for one pound
of food day for six months. Food Is
the first necessity. and after that
come medicine and clothing. Condi-
tions will steadily grow worse
through the winter until April or
May, when the spring crops can be
gathered. No time should be lost.
therefore, in doing whatever can be
done.
Slowness to aid Russia has been
due In great part to misconceptions
which Col. Haskell does something to
correct. He makes it clear. for ex-
ample, the famine is a direct result
tions upon the peasants by the soviet
authorities had little or no share in
causing it. He shows. too. that while
the soviet administration differs
greatly in efficiency in different re-
gions. it is doing its best to fight the
famine, ana IN many places mas &C
complished a great deal. Thus. while
he points to a great need and a men
ace to millions Of living. he shows
also that rescue Is possible at a price
which the civilized world can pay. If

save even 100000 lives, there should
be no question of its being. somehow
