British West Africa
Seeks Home Rule
(By The Associated Negro Press.)

(By The Associated Negro PreSs.)
London, England, Jan. 26.
British West Africa is the latest
country to seek home rule. A mis-
sion has arrived to urge a number
of reforms in the administration of
the four West African colonies and
prolectorates, Sierra Leone, the
Gold Coast, Nigeria and the Gam
bia, says the London Times.
The mission seeks the creation Of
a legislative council which will be
composed of members chosen half
by the crown and half elected by
the people and for a house Of as
sembly which would have COM
plete control Of the revenue and ex-
penditure. The judicial system, in
particular of Nigeria is criticised
by the mission, which states that
cit is the practise to appoint
Europeans who have not received
any legal training and who are not
competent to exercise judicial func-
TONS ..a
Among other suggested reforms
they seek the establishment Of
West African university; the re-
moval Of the color bar in the medi-
cal service and the introduction Of
immigration laws to prevent the IN
fiux Of undesirable aliens.

Honor To The Unknown

Washington, D. g., Jan. 20
Senator Penrose, Pennsylvania, has
introduced the following bill in the
Senate, which has been read twice
and referred to the Committee of
Military Affairs:
That the Secretary Of War, be
and is hereby, authorized and di-
rected, unde regulations to be pres
cribed by him, to cause to be
brought to the United States a body
of an American, a member Of the
overseas forces of the United States
who was killed on the battlefelds of
France, and whose identity has not
been established, for burial in the
amphitheater Of the National Gem
etery at Arlington, Va, and the
body so selected and brought to the
United States shall be the only un-
identified body authorized to be
brought to the United States.
In the regulations to be promul-
gated by the Secretary Of War phr-
suant to this act it shall be provid-
ed that a non-commissioned officer
under the immediate personal sup
ervision Of general officer, shall
select the body, observing strict i'm
partiality, and that the body SO Sc
lected shall typify the spirit and
sacrifice Of the people Of the Re-
public Of the United States Of
America in the great World War,
and shall be entitled to and shall
receive the highest official honors
en- route and at the reinterment.
at the reinterment.
Such sum as may be necessary to
carry out the purpose OF this act IS
hereby authorized to be expended
by the Secretary of War.
This seems a supremely graceful
thing to d6, and it is to the credit Of
Senator Penrose that he was the
first to move in the Senate. His
bill proposed to do, in a way very
graceful and appropriate to the
dignity Of the United States, dis
tinctive remembrance Of those of
its sons who fell in the line Of duty
without leaving any trace of their
identity. Such a memorial will be
a comfort to all the relatives OF
those who served their country
bravely and well but who passed to
eternity "Unwept, unhonored and
unsung.'

GAS CASE PUZZLE
T0LONE D. c. HEAD
Col. Kutz Undecided About
Rate Hearing, Due
Friday.

Col. Charles W. kutZ. the only Com
missioner on duty at the District
building, is undecided whether to pro-
ceed with hearing on gas rates at 10
o'clock Friday morning or postpone
the session If the new Commissioners
have not been named by that day.
The public utility act provides that
one member of the commission may
conduct an investigation or hold
hearing, although any action to be
taken must have the approval of ma
jority of the members.
1t has been suggested that there
might arise some question as to
whether there is commission in ex-
istence when two of the places on the
board are vacant. If no Commission
ers are named by President Harding
by tomorrow Col. Kutz probably will
ask Corporation Counsel Stephens ad-
vice as to whether the hearing should
be held Friday or continued for few
days.
Delay Must BE short.
The continuation cannot be for
more than few days. because on
Friday of next week, March Is. the
gas rate to private homes automat-
ically drops from sl.32 to 95 cents
pc rthousand cubic feet if no action
is taken.
The washington and Georgetown
Gas Light companies have petitioned
for continuation fexisting rates un-
til September l on the ground that
prices have not fallen sufficiently to
warrant a reduction in the price of
gas.
The public utility groups of all the
citizens associations will meet in the
boardroom of the District building at
s o'clock tonight to decide what
course they will follow in regard to
the rates for gas, electricity and
street car service. William NICK.
Clayton, chairman of utilities for the
Federation of Citizens Associations.
will preside.
