Scientific Administrator.

TECHNICALLY trained men for the jobs of
i administering and planning the work and
policy of the technical and scientific bureaus of the
government should be the firm and p Eitcaly un-
shakable rule of all administrations.
1t is only by placing engineers and scientists in
charge of engineers and Scientists that The best
department chiefs should fully understand and ap-
preciate not only the work, bat the personnel of
the various scientific and engineering governmental
agencies that doing all sorts of constructive and
research work Of national importance.
If there mus; be handing out of "plums," as
probably there must it is well to have this confined
to those departments and positions that can best
be handled by those not technically familiar with
the work to be done and its relation to the field as
a whole.
1t is a wonder, indeed, that the government has
ing the salaries that paid 1t is the interest
and the realization Of the value of their work that
keeps them the job, along With their subordinate
associates sf-
Political appointments to the positions of ad-
minstrators of scientific work will tend to the
lowering of the morale of government engineers and
scientists who are not too high spirited now. 1t
will destroy their ambition and belief that their
work may eventually be rewarded by promotion in
the direction of their line of work
There is no dearth Of able administrators who
are technically trained In fact, the future may
even show that the technical man can do better
job in running the nontechnical work OF this eoun
try's government than the usual administrator.

WOULD GIVE GERMANS A
CHANCE.

To the Editor, The Washington Herald
There tas been held in New York
City a mass meeting called under
the auspices of the American Le-
gion to express opposition to a pre-
vious demonstration held to show
France that there is a great body
of American citizens who very
much dislike her employing black
troops who practice indecencies
upon white people, especially when
those who pay them claim they
saved civilization. Saved 1t for
what?
We were told when America went
into the war that we fought kaiser
ism and junkerism and our fight
was not against the German people,
because these things were forced on
them. Now We see the victorious
armies occupying this former enemy
territory two years after peace, to
force them into economic servitude
for at least a century.
Now IL these new invaders would
take their other armies out Of other
lands. unjustly acquired, and tried
to rehabilitate themselves, the
tranquility of the world would be
sooner restored.
venture to say that those pres
ent at this meeting will not deny
\ that France has and is using these
uncivilized black men to intimidate
white people. The French admit IL
and the Germans abhor it. but II
they should show their just indig-
nation they would be moved down
like wheat.
We see in the papers where
American soldiers have come back
\ with German wives and we also
know that our army of occupation
doesn't want to leave Germany on
account of the warm feeling engen-
1t is high time We forget the. re-
cent conflict and restore diplomatic
relations with the republic of Ger
many which expresses the real will
of the Germans. The kaiser had the
Germans believe he had q divine
right to conquer peoples and If
they didn't subscribe to his tales
they were Jailed, like Harden, the
journalist.
1t is my earnest hope that peace
will be restored to the world and
that Justice will again reign SUI
preme.
Hoping you will see it to publish
this and give what may be pre-
sumed to be the other side a chance,
Yours truly,

The Turks Win.

TT SEEMS that the terms of the revision OF the
i treaty of Sevres have practically been settled.
The French voluntarily Withdraw from Cilica under
separate treaty. leaving it to the Turks. 1t adjons
Smyrna to the south and east. Smyrna will also
go to Turkey with some measure of protection to
the Greeks, which will be more less substantial;
less. if history repeats itself.
This will give the new Turkish national gov
ernment entire control of solidihed Asia Minor
from the Black Sea to the Mediterranean. Even Ar
mena will be left practically to its tender mereies,
unless by some subsequent agreement what is LETT
of it, is given a measure of autonomy.
Mustapha Kemal will be the recognized head OF
the Turkish government with its capital at Angora
Apparently he has reached an agreement with the
Sultan at Constantinope which assures his civh con-
troll while the Sultan retains only his religious au-
thority as calph. AS for Thrace, it remains nom
nally Greek, pending inquiry by commission
to the racial preponderance of its population.
Probably it will continue under Greece with
possibly measure of Decentralization. Such
apparently are the terms which both Greece and
Turkey will have to accept. Indeed the Turks have
already agreed, well they may, as they lose little
by their part in the war, and really gain more
secure and definite place on the map and interna-
tionally than they have had since before the Balkan
wars.
1t is not necessary to speculate what might
since much would have depended upon what Veni-
zelos would have been able to do with the Turks.
While in control he able to secure Greek au-
thority in Smyrna. He drove the Turks back and
cleared the country north to the Black Sea- He
saved Constantinople.
But the return of Constantine made it possible
for France to do what she wanted to do, while
largely because of conditions among her Moham-
medan people in India, and Bolshevik propaganda,
Great Britain was forced to follow Frances lead.
This settlement will relieve her of much anxiety
and great expense, while it confirms her practical
control of the Bosphorus.
Ideals have had no part in the negotiations,
even as a pretense. 1t has all been matter OF
cold blooded material advantage The future is left
to take care of itself with more than the cle-
ment of probabilities in the balance. The imme-
date problem was what to do with the Turks and
the Turks demonstrated rather unexpected facility
in taking care of themselves.

Which Colonel Harvey?

THE British government is reported as having
il given informal consent to receiving Col
George Harvey as Ambassador from the United
States This is thoughtful action to quiet the activ-
tiles of those who have been digging up doses of
vtrol which the versatile colonel has times
in the British direction.
:. Bud now there may be the continued query
to which Col Harvey Great Britain regards as
persona grata. Is it the Harvey of the North
American Review the Harvey of Harvey's Week
lyl Is it the rather sedate pedantic conservative.
literary gentleman who publishes of the worlds
most studious and learned reviews and is known
for his polished English and dignity of diction?
Or is it the rough and ready, give and take,
wild and woolly, slam-bang publisher of the most
extremely bitter, scorching, unmerciful political
weekly in all America? Is it Mr.. Harvey. the
learned and scholarly publisher or Mr.. Harvey the
voltaie pamphleteer?
There are certainly two Col Harveys One is
admired as a literary light the other as a political
lambaster Will only one, or both of these 60 to
the Court of St. James? Some hope one, some
hope the other, some hope both. Probably also,
there are others.

He has played both ends against the middle, as he

The treaty itself, while virtually a recognition
