Our Soldiers to
Leave Germany

Beginning with next month, Ameri-
can soldiers will leave the Rhine to
return to this country at the rate Of
about 800 per month. This plan is in
consequence of decision by the ad-
ministration at Washington to bring
home before next March, more than
half the American force on the Rhine.
The action follows Immediately up
on the ratification of the German
Treaty by the United States Senate.
While the treaty did not promise the
withdrawal of troops, reduction of
the American army of occupation to a
very small force was understood to be
contemplated by President Harding,
as soon as the negotiation of the
treaty with Germany was success
fully completed. 1t is expected that
he may even order the return of the
entire army before March Is of next
year.
According to Secretary of War
Weeks, the return of the army is a
measure of economy IS well as diplo-
macy. Withdrawal of the troops can
be easily accomplished in transports,
already in service as cargo bearers to
Europe and returning empty. The
men who have the shortest army
terms will be brought home first. Re-
duction in the supplies needed to
maintain the large force in Germany
will mean a great saving, Secretary
Weeks states, and the withdrawal not
only has his entire approval, but is
believed to have been hurried upon his
recommendations

Roosevelt's Birthday Celebra-
ton Brings Tribute from
President Harding.

At tomorrow's celebration of me
birthday of Theodore Roosevelt in
New York City schools, a letter
from President Harding will be read
to the school children. The Presi-
dents splendid tribute seems some
what less simple in expression tn In
the purpose of its writing would de
mand. But the message will carry to
the very youngest, that Roosevelt was
a great American, leader, fearless
crusader fer the right; that he did his
part to make America better, and
that when it was necessary he struck
FROM the shoulder, but he played fair:
that he was sentinel always on the
s'ert, against danger TO IDEALS as we'll
a sto men; that he loved duty and Scr
vice, not as creed, but vigorously
and sanely as the business of life.
The President says in pa,t:
perhaps his greatest work, apart
from his appealing Americanism, and
yet vital part Of it, was his cru
sade for new order of things and a
new conscience in the Republic
"He incurred violent enmities, but
none ever called him an unfair opp IN
ent. He struck as he spoke, from the
shoulder, and he practiced as he
preached In his virile American man.
hood he was the inspiring and sur
passing example. In the fullness Of
mental and physical vigor he was tie
great patriotic sentinel, pacing the
parapet of the Republic, alert to dan
ger and every menace and in love with
duty and service and always unafraid.
''It is little to say that the Repup-
lie is bigger and better and mightiiJ J
advanced by his part. The glorious
Republic, more American for his call
to patriotism and more secure for his
warning of perils. 1t is more to say
he inspired those who follow, to no
bier manhood and higher ideals"

The Facts Behind 4
the Railroad Strike

As usual, in labor troubles, the pub
lie has been treated to directly oppo-
site statements by the parties to the
dispute. In the case Of the present
thI eatened railroad strike, the rail
roads say that they must reduce
wages, or they cannot reduce rates
and run the roads. The United States
Railway Labor Board, which controls
wage scales, has ordered a reduction.
TIE railroads prepare to carry out
the order; the workers plan strike.
The aspect put upon the strike by
this sequence of events, and which is
a fairly general Interpretation by the
public, is that the rail workers are
defying the U. S. Railway Labor
Board.
The president of the Brotherhood
of Railroad has said in a published
interview, that this is not true, that
there is no defiance of the LaborBoard
in the strike movement, that the rail
workers know railway wages must
come down, but that theirs Were the
last to go up in war time, and that
the cuts proposed are too drastic;
that the railroad executives intend to
apply or have applied to the Labor
Board for still further cuts, and that
the roads have themselves defied de-
cision of the Labor board by refusing
to arbitrate.
The railroad executives maintain

PLACE OF MEETING FOR
THE ARMS CONFERENCE
Pan-American Building Re-
markably Suited for World
Important Sessions

The beautiful building of the Pan
American Union in Washington is
particularly fitting place to hold the
Conference on Limitation of Arma-
ments called by President Harding
for November IL. This building OF
white Georgia marble, consluereu one
of the most beautiful in the world, was
made possible by the gift of Andrew
Carnegie 1t was meant to be the J
"home" of the twenty-one North and |
South American republics which form |
the Pan American Union place |
where they could meet to discuss prob
lens and celebrate events and perpe-
tuate. With this idea in mind, its
architecture while stately and inspir-
ing in beauty, has the simplicity and
type of external design which sug-
gests a home. The interior arrange
ment and design are extremely rich
in architectural development, and are
elaborate and varied in detail to cor
respond with the history and tradi-
tions of the countries forming the
Union. The rooms are centered about
Spanish Court, the most beautiful
and impressive of these rooms being
the Hall of the Americas where the
sessions Of the Arms Conference will
be held. The entrance to the Hall of
the Americas is through the Gallery
of Patriots, where the marble figures
of the founders of the republics are
sculptured. The Hall itself is 100
feet long, has vaulted ceiling adorn-
ed with paintings, and supported by
"a f1uted columns.
Peace, friendship and commerce are
themes repeated in the decorative de-
tail, throughout the building. Nat
ional standards and coats of arms
add goroeousness of color. The varied
architecture of rooms, stairways and
galleries, has embodied in it the ro-
nance of the countries from which it
is drawn.
The Pan-American Union was de-
veloped in 1906 from the Bureau Of
American Republics. The man who
had more than any other to do with
working out plans for the building
was Elihu Root, with the encourage
ment of President Theodore Roose-
velt, and John Barret, then Minister
to Colombia. 1t was after Mr.. Root
presented the suggestions for the
building and what it might stand fer,
to Andrew Carnegie, that the latte.'
gave $750,O0O towards it's ereclicn.
The cornerstone was laid in 1908,
while Roosevelt was President, an |
completed in 1910, during the presi-
dency Of Mr.. Taft.
The building has seen many bril-
Liant and important gatherings, but
none to compare in significance with
that which will assemble in its beau
.tiful rooms next month

The Question Of
Panama Tolls

For the purpose Of facilitating the
construction of a ship canal to con-
meet the Atlantic and Pacific oceans,
a new treaty, superseding previous
one, was concluded between the Unit
ed States and Great Britain, Novem-
Der 1S, 1901. This treaty, which was
negotiated by John Hay, then Secre-
tary of State of the United States and
Lord Pauncefote, British Ambassador
to the United States, is called the
-Pauncefote treaty.
Under the former treaty Great
Britain was to enjoy certain rights
and privileges. In the treaty Of 1901
these were given up by Great Britain,
with the exception that a clause was
inserted in the treaty intended to Sc
cure equality of tolls for all nations,
that is, that Great Britain should not
suffer by having to pay tolls while
another nation might go free.
The clause which provided against
discrimination in tolls is as follows:
"The canal shall be free and open
to the vessels of commerce and OF war
of all nations observing these rules,
on terms of entire equality, so that
there shall be no discrimination
against any such nation, or its cltl-
zens or subjects, in respect of the con-
ditions or charges of traffic or other
wise"
Both John Hay and Lord Paunce-
fote, expressing what they believed to
be the policy of their respective gov
ernments, intended and declared that
this clause included the United States.
The later desires of those interested
in American shipping caused the eff
fort to interpret the treaty different
ly and the demand for the exemption
of American shipping grew to such an
extent that a law for free tolls to our
coastwise vessels was passed in 1912.
This was at that time regarded by
great many people as serious viola
ton of our word to England. The
law was repealed in 1914.
Last year sentiment for free tolls
again grew stropg enough to become
a plank in both the Republican and
Democratic platforms. True to this
sentiment and the platforms, the Bo-
rah bill for free tolls was introduced
in the Senate at the present session
of Congress, and just recently passed
by vote of AZ to 81 with party lines
broken.
Those opposed, and the expression
against the bill seems very much
more general than any sentiment for
free tolls, believe that we have violat-
ed treaty, gone back on our word,
made the foreign policy of the United
States seem like matter of selfish
whim, and complete instability, and
all this on the eve of world confer
ence being called by the country in
the interests of an agreement for set
tling similar violations by other ma
tions in the Pacific, and of reducing
world armament.
The most constructive suggestion
of those opposed to the passage OF
the Borah bill is that if we no longer
like the terms of the treaty, we
should say so to Great Britain, and
undertake. diplomatic negotiations
with her for new or amended treaty
rather than ALLEVIATE the confidence OF
another r"rrtrv and injure our stand
ing with all countries by passing leg,
islation that will be generally inter
preted as showing disrespect for the
sacredness Of treaties.
