Washington u. c.. Feb. ITO the
almost hopeless jam in which the SEN
ate is involved, one more important
bill will bo added this week. The bin
to restrict immigration ought to come
out of the senate committee promptly.
This committee has had custody of the
bill for moro than six weeks that have
elapsed since tho bill passed the house
on December l..
The bill that Will come out of the
senate Will be utterly different from
the bill the house passed. The house
bill aimed at meeting an emergency,
and provided for "A practically complct"
suspension for ono year. during which
1t was planned TO draft another meas
urc that should express our permanent
immigration policy.
The senate bill will assume that
there is no emergency. and will OK
press a permanent plan for reEula ting
immigration. Tho principle OF Vt Is
wholly new and consists of limiting tho
immigration from any one country 10
5 per cent of the number or immi-
grants of that nationality already
here.
Tho intention Is to change tho one
sidcd character that our immiEra ton
has had in recent years. Previous To
twenty years ago the bulk OF our i'm
migrants came from western and
northern Europe. England. Ireland
Wales, sweden. Norway. Germany and
bcumark. Recently that source of inn
migration has been cciipscd by in
crcasin= quantities from eastern and
southeastern Europe Russia, Tu-
mania. Austria. Italy. ScryiH. Greece
and Turkey.

Washington Feb c-Declaring he
was not in politics and was not 60
ing in. Charles G. Dawes of Chicago,
former chief of supply procurement for
the American army in France, at
tackled Wednesday what he charged
were political attempts to discredit
achievements of the people who won
the war. Appearing before a house
war investigating committee Mr.. Davis
struck hard blows at critics who had
glory of the great achievement by
picking flaws and parading trivial
faults 5000 miles away.
At times the air was thick with
oaths for which the witness frankly
confessed he had neither apology nor
excuse. He reiterated an earlier off
hand statement as to his own part in
politics which was accepted to mean
that he would not become a member
of Mr.. HardinG's cabinet.
Mr.. Dawes sharply denounced the
system of conducting the federal gov
ernment. an evil of 100 years standing,
he declared. which investigators might
better afford to deal.
Mr.. Dawes was called by Democratic
members of the committee to rofute
testimony relating to waste and oS-
travagance and particularly with ref
orence to liquidation of American ac-
counts in France and sales to surplus
stocks to France.
Answering charges that food and
clothing supplies might have brought
more than the si00. 900, 900 paid by
France, Mr.. Davis turned on one of
his qucstioners. Mr.. Bland, Republic
can of Indiana. and shouted: 1T is
that sort of fool argument that forced
Great Britain to hold on to its stocks
and attempt to drive a hard bargain.
The stuff is there rotting. There is
no use to try and throw mud when
you were not there to know condi-
tions. England lost billions of dollars
by listening to that talk. They are
raising the Devil in England now be-
cause England did not sell"
Mr.. Dawes said he thought Franco
was charged too much.

More precise methods Of detecting

An Improvement on the Deniges
test is described by Or. Robert NJ.
Chaplin. Of the Bureau OF Animal In
dustry. OF the Department OF Agr'-
culture. writing in the current lJrn-
Der OF the Journal of Industrial ana
Engineering Chemistry. The Alco-
holic solution is treated with potSs-
stun permangsnate and acid
whereby the methanol is oNidized
TO formsldehyde before the test be-
gins.
1t is stated that the test as modi-
fed is more sensitive and precise,
although il is believed TO be capable
OF still greater refinement. So dan
gerous is the fluid once known as
wood alcohol considered. that on 10
cial journals Of chemistry are now
calling il methanol. SO that the pub
lie may thoroughly understand Ihai

EOR weeks 1t was announced that 100000 per-
i sons would parade in New York City on July
in protest against the Volstead law. The New
York newspapers cannot be accused of any lack
of sympathy with the object of this demonstration,
but their news conscience did not permit them to
estimate the total number who actually marched
at Is.ooo and in this dwinde from greatness
the foreign born and middle-aged predominated."
In other words this protest was magnificent
hzzle 1t abundanty financed. The pre-or-
ganzation elaborate The newspapers gave it
acres of space. The city divided into districts
for enrolment and propaganda. Nothing was left
undone with the tom-toms and blstbags to round
up the protestants. They got out measly $4,000,
which many city OF 100000 people equaled during
the parades
The fact is that those with personal sef-respeet
ashamed to be publicly condemning law
which they know 10 be moral and economic
blessing However much they may bemoan IN pri-
the loss Of their cocktails and of the squander-
ing in New York OF the money from the provinces
along the Great White Way, they will not publicly
identity themselves with the bootlcggers, the dis
reputable the liquor interests and the degraded, all
of whom would gladly touch shoulders with re-
spectabiIity in public to cloak their objcctives
The better clements the difference between $4,000
and 100000, not only will not parade as lacking
moral sense, but they would not vote against the
Volstead law if they had the chance Real Ameri-
cans may talk about many things, but they will
not vote against the American home and American

evidence that American character has not lost its

Inviolability Of Contracts.

army of 10000. A large proportion of these
men are volunteers who solicited under
pledge Of fixed term of service sufficient to give
them the full advantage of the vocational courses
offered in the army training schools They made
contract with the government and are not at
fault if Mr.. Baker exceeded his authority.
Mr.. Weeks is practically ordered to dis
charge 10000 of these young before their terms
expire, before they have had the advantages prom;
ised them, and before that labor recovery which
would promise them employment outside the army
or to gain the better pay they are qualifying them
selves to earn. Will he do this? He will have to
do it, no matter how reluctantly.
But. he is not apt to do it before he has to; he
is not apt to rush to it like shark at full meal.
He has made the first call for all those who want
a discharge with honor to ask for it. Unfortu-
nately it is not exactly human to want what you
can get and many who thought they wanted to
get out of the army and go home will have another
thought when they find it easy to the point of want
ing to be honorably rid of then.
The Secretary give the 10000 an honorable
discharge but he can hardly make this honorably
two-sided. The men who go will have better records
than the government that sends them home. A
contract is contract, and really the government
has no more right to discharge unwilling re-
crut before his term of enlistment expires than the
recruit has to desert But desertion is serious

To the Editor. The Washington Herald;
In the issue of June 81 the read
ers of The Herald were surprised
by a letter headed Attacks Edu-
Gators" and signed Francis B,
Livesey. Does he mean he wants
and advocates as amendment l9 the
abolishment of all educational in
: stitutions because. as he claims,
they ruin YOUTH and all further
extension of them will further eX-
tend the ruination. etc?
For bodily development of the
youth any kind of work Is far bet
ter than any kind Of education" he
claims. Our existence on the sur
face of the earth is divided into
periods. the best and happiest COW
ering our schoolhood days where
our captains. the teachers. guide us
on the path of victory and of glory,
and upon reaching the end OF this
period as graduates and handed the
fine diplomas, no tear of regret has
ever been shed, but often we hear:
81 have never regretted that
learned. but often have ! regretted
that l did not learn what l should
have learned.
As our former Superintendent nj
Hildebrand once paid my depart
ment a brief Official visit he read on
the blackboard: '"Tadeln koennen
vol die Narren. aber besser machen
nicht." (Fools can criticise but not
do better). Very true" he said,
and out he went.
The period of childhood is not the

Children. as future citizens and

to the fullest protection of their

right is criminal act.
