wreck is very decidedly matter Of
public concern. Yet it is the DISPOSE.
ton of railroad officials almost in.
variably after a smash to take secret
testimony and to conceal facts. The
result is that the public always sus-
poets something is being withheld that
should be Immediately made known.
In this case at Porter a most fright
full blunder was committed. The wreck
was attributable to a human fault. And
human fault always means bad man
agement. bad inspection. bad discipline
and particularly bad provision against
possible failures. The man who makes
the mistake is not the only one to
blame. Somebody higher up is ac-
countable for having made it possible
that such mistake could precipitate
a wreck. For example, at this par
ticular point, trains were speeded over
the crossing at full pace. That was
not the fault of the engineers. or the
towermen, but of the railroad man
asement. When anything went wrong
with the switches or the signals there
was no chance for correction.
Taken all in all. in the light of the
history of railroad wrecks. with the
lessons that they should have taught.
this horror at Porter stands as one of
the most shocking catastrophes in the
history of American railroading.

Secrecy and Railroad Wrecks

started until ali the Identification work

ably entail delay Of a week.
The late Edward H. Hartman was
originally a believer in the principle
OF keeping the public in the dark in
respect to accidents and physical mis-
fortunes. But he changed his mind
after some distressing experiences
and gave orders that whenever a wreck
occurred on any one Of his railroads
an inquiry should Immediately be in.

Mr.. Harding in Kelter.

MIR. Harding, it is stated, is in fine
health. He had some playtime in
Texas. and still more in Florida, al
though continuing his business con
ferences while in both states. He
likes golf and fishing He indulged
in both while absent from home. He
has returned to Marion in keller, and
will arrive in this town Thursday
physically fit as Il fiddle.
He will need all the strength he
possesses. Work, in quantity and
complexity. awaits him. All sorts of
work. He will be besieged by office,
seekers and their friends. Policies
foreign and domestic, must be shaped
Departmental conditions must be con.
sidered. with view of ending abuse
and instituting reforms.
Nor will this experience be of short
duration. 1t will extend over long
time. So many changes have been
wrought by the war, and SO many
new wrinkles introduced into our af.
fairs: the task of putting things right
again and pushing on to stability and
prosperity will prove to be colossal.
At all times we work a President
pretty hard: and the record supports
the statement that we have never
had a lazy man in the White House.
Without exception, they have buc
kled to the requirements of the place
with right good will.
But not even Mr.. Lincoln in March
1861. faced a situation more confused
or exacting than that, sixty years
later, now confronts Mr.. Harding.
Good it is, therefore. to hear that,
both physically and mentally, he is in
shape to meet it, and of disposition
to "sit up with it until it is solved.

The Movie Censorship.

After all the discussion on the mo
ton picture censorship question yes
terday at the District building, the
case goes back to the Commissioners
for consideration. Obviously nothing
can be done in the way of lawmaking
at this session. And equally plainly
nothing can be effectively undertaken
of statutory enactment creating
board with power. So that for the
present this debate is somewhat
academic. If the Commissioners
recommend a censorship law to Con-
gress the whole matter will be thresh-
ed out again before committees.
But it is urged that there is now
sufficient police power in the District
prohibition of certain films. That pow
er, however, has not been exercised
for very long time. Yet some films
have been produced in Washington
against which much protest has been
voiced. The question arises whether
there is sufficient initiative at the
District building, or sufficient force, to
scrutiniZe the movies. 1t would seem
that unless squad of officials were
detailed to this duty-constituting a
virtual board of censors-nothing can
possibly be done under the present
police regulation.
A compromise proposal has been ad-
vanced, to put the exhibitors on pro-
baton for three months. requiring
them meanwhile to observe the rules
of the Pennsylvania state censorship
board. The proponents of this plan
urge that if no honest attempt is made
to observe the restrictions of the state
organization a determined move will
be made for local board of review or
censorship.
The idea of a censorship is naturally
repugnant to the people. 1t is specifi.
cally so to the purveyors of motion pic
ture entertainment. And in this par.
ticular case it may be suggested that
many who take no special interest in
the question of film wholesomeness are
inclined to side with the picture peo-
pie on general principles. Yet there
is just as deep a feeling on the other
side, a feeling of positive alarm at the
menace which certain types of films
undoubtedly constitute to public
morals.
The Commissioners must take this
difficult matter into careful considera-
ton. Feelings have run high in the
discussion and it will not be easy to
reach plane Of action that will satisfy
the community.

Shot at the duties Of the presiding
officer Of the Senate.
He can talk SO we'll that, If he cares,
he can convert his experience in the
Senate's chair into information and en-
tertainment for others. His eight years
in Washington have been full of mat
ter, and, for one thing in particular, he
has presided over one of the most in
teresting and important debates in
the Senate's whole history. The discus.
sion of the treaty Mr.. Wilson brought
home from Paris will have an abiding
place in our annals.
The chautauquans like politics.
When the visitor is a politician with
an official record he is assured of a
large and appreciative audience. For a
quarter century Mr.. Bryan has been Il
topliner as an instructor and enter
tainer. Champ Clark and the late Gen.
Grosvenor used to double up: and. to-
gether, they packed big tents to the.
flaps and big halls to the doors.

The Next House.

The next House will organize with
Mr.. Gillett in the chair and Mr. Mon
dell the leader of the majority. Both
selections are excellent. Both men
have deserved the Endorsement re-
ceived. Mr.. Gillett has demonstrated
fun qualification for the speakership,
and Mr.. Mondell full qualification for
floor leadership. The east 10 recog-
nized in the one man, the west in the
other.
East and west must pull together if
the country is to be pulled out of it's
difficulties. We need not close our
eyes to the fact that those difficulties
are neither few nor slight. AS 4 mat
ter of fact. they are numerous and
formidable. They relate to big things
and little.
First and most important OF all come
the question OF the tariff and the ques-
tion of taxation. Measures on both
questions must originate in the House.
Hence the value of having experienced
men in charge in that body at time
when tariff revision and tax revision
mean so much in the scheme of ma.
tional rehabilitation.
In the next House the republicans
will live on Easy street. Maybe a little
too easy. They will have a majority
of three to one. There is danger in
the size-danger Of factionism and dis
order. So that both Mr.. Gillett and
Mr.. Mondell, but particularly the lat
ter, will find it necessary to watch the
corners with keen eyes, and keep their
eyes open much the greater part Of
the time.

A Crisis in Europe

conference Is 10 be neiu III LON
don, beginning today. regarding the
question of reparations. delegation
from Berlin has arrived at the British
capital headed by the German foreign
secretary. DIR. Simons. The program OF
this conference contemplates first the
presentation of the German views re
garding the decision recently reached
at Paris. Tomorrow it is expected the
British premier will reply to DR.. 81
mons. There is no expectation that
the Germans will Immediately declare
acceptance of the terms. or that the
allied powers will grant any material
notifications. DR.. Simons has gone
to London with a volume of figures
to show that Germany cannot pay the
indemnity demanded. The representa-
tives of England, France. Italy and
Belgium are equally armed with statis-
tics to prove that Germany must pay.
At the first stage there will be a battle
OF figures.
Meanwhile certain significant move
ments have been in progress along the
line. French troops have been moved
forward. Masses of artillery, parked
some distance back, have been brought
up into the Mayence bridgehead and
in other respects preparations have
been made for a possible immediate
resumption of hostilities. Marshal
Foch, having consulted at London with
ho o11iod Y,ropniarS iS oVnaofad n
turn at once to Paris, to proceed thence
to Mayence to await the decision Of
the conference, which will probably
not be rendered until Friday or Satur-
J day.
The meaning of this situation is sim
ply that if Germany definitely and
positively refuses to abide by the repa-
rations stipulations troops will be NOV
ed into German territory. This does
not necessarily mean a resumption of
Germans are in no position to contest
the advance of French forces. 1t has
been limited that part Of Foch's plan
is to isolate Bavaria from the rest of
Germany. Probably his scheme Of op-
erations in the event of a negative
result at London has been most care.
fully worked out to the last detail. and
there Is no reason to doubt it's success
1t is limited in the dispatches that
the French will not move until the
address are known, as the French Of
ficials desire to show the United States
that everything possible has been done
to avoid stern measures. There is
nothing to suggest that the French
program will be altered by anything
that may be said on the front steps
Of the Capitol at Washington. The de-
cisgion, it seems, is to be given at Lon
don, not here.
To France this is a matter of the
: most vital importance. Until Germany
begins to pay on a fixed indemnity
basis French industries cannot be re-
stored and French finances cannot be
stabilized. There is no mistaking the
determination of the French people to
exact full payment from Germany,
even at the cost of renewed warfare.
Doubtless Germany knows this and the
feeling prevails that after the custom.
,aary bluff at London Germany will
yield under protest, even as she yielded
and signed the Versailles treaty. The
presence of Foch's forces at Mayence
constitutes the strongest argument for
acceptance.

HARDING WILL NOT
REVERSE POLICIES
RIGHTS DETERMINED UPON
BY CHIEF EXECUTIVE.
Will Continue to Defend Contention
That United States Will Not Be
Deprived Of Any of Her Rights
in Adjustment of Problems.

Washington.-Th policy of the
Harding administration with respect
to American rights growing out of the
participation of the United States in
the world war will not differ material
ly from that of the Wilson administra-
ton. it has been learned in authorita-
tive quarters.
Adjustment of the situation growing
out of the award of mandate over
the Pacific island of zap to Japan
will be insisted upon as determinedly
by this administration as it was by
the last, it was said, and the attitude
with respect to the British mandate
over Mesopotamia will be maintained.
1t has been made clear that the new
administration will continue to defend
the contention that the United States
has not yielded and cannot be deprived
of any of her rights as one of the
victors, and must be considered in the
adjustment of the problems created
by the war.
JsCOnfidence has been expressed that
IN amicable adjustment of all ques-
- will sse-effected, although govern
ment officials have not yet completed
a definitive charting of the course
they will follow in all cases.

STAGE IS SET FOR
ANOTHER CONFLICT
CLASH ON POLISH FRONTIER
IMPENDING, ACCORDING TO
LATEST REPORTS.
German Troops Said to Be Concen-
trating in Force Along Entire
Border, and Action May Re-
suit in Open HostiIities.

London.-The stage is being set fol-
another conflict in Europe. Tuesday
night the Polish legation in London
handed out a statement, which fol
lows:
There is considerable concentra-
on of German troops on the entire
German-Polish frontier. The troops
surpass in number the entire forces
allowed to Germany in the treaty of
peace.
This news proves that a decision
has been made by Germany not to
abide by the results of the upper
Silesian plebiscite in the event that
the result is favorable to Poland"
That there is also a Polish move
directed toward upsetting the results
of next Sundays plebiscite is seen N
the declaration of Sidney Osborne, an
American, the author of 'The Upper
Silesian Question and Germany's Coal
Problem"
Osborne has declared that the Ger
mans are intpossession of information
that the French general, Nieddel, is
prepared to ksyaderuffsr SffesfaT wttH
Polish troops Immediately if the peo-
pie decide to remain with Germany.
"In preparation for this move fif-
teen Polish divisions have been con-
centrated on the western frontier. The
interallied commission have. roughly,
one division in upper Silesia, to pre-
serve order pending the result of the
vote. Recently the British detach-
ment was strengthened to four or five
battalions at the request of the Ger
mans.
"An Italian general is in command,
but the majority of the allied troops
are French The French militarists
policy is to deprive Germany of upper
Silesia, which is much more valuable
to Germany than the Rhine district is.
"All indications are that the terri
tory will remain with Germany If the
result of the vote is respected. 1t IS
vital to Germany that she retain her
coal and iron if she is to continue to
exist as an industrial power.
There is not the slightest doubt
that Europe is on the brink of another
serious clash, which will come within
a week unless the upper Silesian vote
is respected by both sides"

Paris.-The council OF ambassadors
on March 10 handed note to the Ger

corning the concentration of German
troops on the Upper Silesian frontier.
The communication says Germany
will be held responsible for any dis
orders arising from the entry of armed
German forces into the plebiscite area.
A similar note was sent by the coun-

a Berlin dispatch says reports Of
isolated clashes in Il number of Upper
Silesian district have caused the Ger
man government to protest to the inter-
allied commission in Oppeln against
the revival of what is termed polish
terrorism"
I'm official quarters it was declared
that several outrages were committed
in the Rybnik district in the last few
days, houses having been burned, one
man murdered and others beaten.
"Officially 1t is reported the situa-
tion in Silesia generally is quiet, but
rumors persist that armed German and
Polish forces are gathering on the from
tiers in anticipation of fighting. The
German plebiscite propaganda organi-
cation has put out statement declar-
ing the poles have begun agitation for
an extension of the allied penalties to
Upper Silesia in the event that the
Germans win"
