in the game. The question was
whether she could beat Molia Bjurstedt
Mallory. And, unfortunately, that
question is not yet definitely settled,
despite yesterdays fiasco. For there
remains doubt in view Of the obvious
fact that the Frenchwoman was far
off her game.
Whatever the outcome Of the pres
ent tournament, 1t is to be hoped that
before she returns to France Mile.
Lenglen, in her best form, will meet
Mrs. Mallory in a test match to deter
mine this doubt. Such a match would
not affect the title. if Won by the lat
ter in the present tourney. But it
would be qualification to know
whether the real championship be-
longs to this country or to France. In
the matter OF pugilism no such doubt
now exists. Carpenter had no alibi
for his defeat. Mile. Lenglen has a
perfectly good one that is generally
accepted and sincerely regretted.

The Greeks Start Again.

Evidently not deferred by the pos.
sibility of a holy war just declared by
the King Of the Hedjaz, the Greeks
have started renewed offensive
against the Turkish nationalists. They
have begun to advance from their
base east of Eskishehr. the Turks fall
ing back without giving battle. The
nationalist government is being re-
moved from Angora to Caesarea, 100
miles to the southeast. The Turkish
armies, however, will not withdraw so
far into the mountains. but will stand,
it is reported, at the River Sakaria,
where a strong defensive position has
been prepared. During the weeks Of
fensive Kaimal has not been idle, but
has been recuperating his beaten
army and strengthening its supplies.
II he can stop the Greek advance at
the river Constantine will be in diff
cult situation. and may have to re-
linquish his campaign, for he Is now
more than 200 miles from his sea base,
and transport is hard through the
rough country, with a poor railroad
equipment. But if, on the other hand,
Kaimal is beaten he must fall back to
a stilr deeper position in the hills.
This line is stated to run from Caesarea
to Yozgad, the latter a little over 100
miles east of Angora. In this situation
Kaimal will be about $50 miles from
Smyrna. At that point Constantine
could rightly claim a victory, provided
he had the force and supplies to hold
his gains. Meanwhile much depends
upon what the Arabs do. If they re-
spond to the call for holy war they
may force Intervention by the Blhtish
and French.

Gen. Crowder in Cuba,

Gen. Crowder, who has been in Cuba
for some time assisting with advice in
questions Of government. will, it is
stated, still further prolong his stay.
His presence is welcome, and he has
been of recognized service to the au.
thorities.
We are interested in Cuba. We set
her up in business, and are her spon-
sors before the world. All things con.
sidered, she has done well. 1t was no
easy matter for men reared under a
form of government Of long standing
to turn upon its downfall to the very
opposite form; for men who had
thrown of foreign yoke to adjust to
their shoulders yoke Of their own.
But in good fashion, the Cubans
have accomplished that. After a little
stumbling-inevitable in beginners
they Strengthened up, found their feet,
and have been making progress. Only
recently they disposed Of ticklish
political situation in q very satisfac-
tory manner.
At present Cuba is wrestling with
conditions growing out Of the war.
What nation, big or little, is not? The
war upset the world. Cuba could not
have escaped.
Her difficulties are the greater be.
cause her eggs are nearly all in one
basket. When sugar is depressed,
Cuba is depressed: and just now sugar
is very much depressed. The price is
very low, and while it remains SO
Cuba must remain in q state Of
anxiety.
Gen. Crowder has shown com
potency for his mission. and the pro.
l0ngation Of his stay in the island is
In our interests as well as in those OF
Cuba.

karageorgevitch was the next in sue
cession. So four days after the as
sassinations a deputation from Bel.
grade waited on him in Paris and
rendered the throne to him. He &C.
cepted, and doubtless with some re.
pugnance, for he was at heart a gen.
tie man and though a soldier abhorred
needless cruelty. Some suspected that
he had been cognizant Of the plot
against Alexander and Draga. He
denied vehemently. Whatever the
fact. he went to Belgrade and took the
throne-and found the cold shoulders
OF certain of the, powers turned upon
him. England withdrew her minister
and was unrepresented at Belgrade for
some years.
Failing in health. Peter relinquished
the throne to his son some time before
the great war, but upon the outbreak
of hostilities he resumed authority and
headed his nation throughout the
struggle. He suffered with his people
and became a refugee with them.
Upon the return of peace he yielded
the throne again. and had been failing
in health steadily since. He was taken
from Greece to his capital some
months ago. In order that he might
die where he was born. So passes one
whose life has been spent mostly in
pxile ono of fhe most Snrr0UfNl rnen

The Unemployed.

The Secretary of Labor reports that,
at present. 5.735, 900 persons are out of
employment in the United States. The
figure is very large. and as Congress
is interested in the subject let us
hope that steps of some kind may be
taken to relieve the situation.
The situation, of course, is abnor-
NAL. Business is dislocated to a great
er extent than while the war was in
progress. Capital is extremely nerv.
Gus, not being able to calculate safely
either as to tariff revision or tax re-
vision. Both subjects are now under
discussion on Capitol Hill, and until
they are settled capital will not feel
perky.
Labor is extremely discontented.
Men without work want work, while
those with work are suspicious of
every proposition looking to a reduc-
ton Of wages.
And SO we have not only great
deal of unemployment in the country,
but some reason-several reasons-for
it. Discussion as to the cause has
taken a wide and rather unsatisfactory
range.
In pre-war days there were periods
Of business depression when large
numbers Of men and women were idle.
One thing or another caused it. but no
one thing ever cured it. Sometimes it
cured itself.
But in every instance there was a
cure. A return to normalcy filled the
dinner pals again, and contentment
spread over the land. We are over a
hundred million strong. and in normal
times capable and industrious peo-
pie.

Mile. Lenglen's Default.

Yesterdays tennis match at Forest
Hills, N. T., between the American
and French woman champions, was a
grievous disappointment to those who
had been drawn by the fame of the
challenger from Paris. Arriving in
this country in Ill health. she had been
compelled to seek postponement Of
the match, which was granted. When
she faced her opponent across the net
yesterday she was in poor form and,
after losing the first set in q manner
which showed that she was no match
whatever for the American champion,
she started the second badly ana then
defaulted.
Mile. Lenglen's fame had preceded
her to America. She was regarded in
Europe as the most wonderful woman
who ever welded a racquet. Accounts
and photographs Of her in the game
showed q marvel Of speed, precision
and driving power. She had the ten
mis- temperament to q phenomenal de.
gree. Very few men could Withstand
her sikill ON the court. No other Euro.
pean woman had sver beaten her sftsr

The Rents Bill.

q Yesterday. by an overwhelming
judgment an emergency still exists in
the matter of housing accommodations
In Washington, and passed bill to
extend for eight months the Ball law.
which puts control Of rentals in this
District under the supervision of a
commission. If the House concurs the
law will be continued until May %
next. If it does not concur before Oc-
tober % the act will expire by limita-
tion, the commission will cease to
exist and the rental situation in Wash
ington will become, as before. subject
to the supply of accommodations. If
there is surplus of houses and apart
ments beyond the demand. as con-
tended by realtors. rents will probably
remain at their present stage, or pos
sibly will show a decline. If. on the
other hand. there is still a shortage,
rents will advance from the points
fixed by the commission.
Now that the Senate has passed the
extension bill it is for the House to
consider whether it should go to COM
mittee for extended hearing or should
be put upon its passage at once.
The approach of the recess period
puts a premium upon speed If this
matter is to be disposed Of before ad.
journment. But recently assurance
was given that hearings would be ac-
corded before committee in the House,
and if this program is carried out it is
difficult to see how final action can
be had before a week from today,
when the houses begin their brief va
cation. In that case just a month will
remain after reconvening if the ex-
tension is to be voted before the Ball
law expires.
The size of the vote given in the
Senate for extension shows a heavy
preponderance Of judgment in that
body that the wartime emergency
upon which the Supreme Court based
its ruling sustaining the law still con-
tinues. Doubtless those who thus
probation Of the fact that no oppor-
tunity will be afforded, in the brief
period. for test of the constitutional
ity Of the extension act, and thus
based their support upon a belief that
the court would again rule to sustain
the law If the case could be placed be-
fore it If that is also the belief Of
the House the extension bill will be
enacted. In any case it is incumbent
upon those who are in a position to
provide new accommodations, through
renewed building operations, to pre-.
pare at once for q resumption Of con-
struction. New dwellings and apart
ments started now will be coming into
the market for use just about the time
the extension expires. There is small
likelihood that the emergency condi-
tions will prevail in May next, and If
additional accommodations are mean
while provided there will be no pos.
sible basis for further legislation.

A Job for Dawes,

There is a place in Washington for
somebody with the bent of Sir James
Greig, who is asking whether there
is not a way Of saving about 100000
pounds sterling in public funds an
nually which is now spent on in
quisitiveness in the house Of COM
mons. He has arrived at that total
by ascertaining that it costs guinea
every time question Is asked a
minister. On a computation allowing
member three questions q day, the
per capita cost Of session Is 315
pounds. AS there are more than six
hundred members in the commons, the
total mentioned is a mere matter of
multiplication.
OF course, Sir James has undoubt-
edly taken account in his estimate of
a guinea a question such factors as
stenographic fees, paper. ink, print
ing and publication. Which brings
us back to the suggestion that some
body like him is needed In Wash
ington to take q pencil and pad and
figure what we might save II Con-
gress would put stop to "the leave
to print" privilege, by which publ
cation is achieved in the Record Of

We commend Gen. Dawes for the

Peter Karageorgevitch.

Peter Karageorgevitch died yester-
day at Belgrade. pathetic figure of
age and infirmity. He was King of
Serbia for over eighteen years. with
two lapses of abdication due to poor
health. His career was one of tragedy
and romance.
Peter was the son Of a former ruler
Of Serbia, then head Of the house of
Karageorgevitch. He received his
military education in France, and
served in the French foreign legion in
the war Of 1901. A few years later.

on Turkey Peter offered his services
to Milan, then ruler, who declined
them. despite Peters pledge that he
would make no move against the
Obrenovitch dynasty. So for thirty
years longer Peter remained in exile,
mostly in Paris. the city of his affec.
tons. He became widely known as q
bouleyardier. His claims as the right.
