Homecoming Of the Dead.

THE bodies of 1000 of our dead in France are
i on their way home" The mother earth of
their own country will encircle them. Their own
will care for their graves and the flowers of America
will bloom above them, the sky of America will
look down upon them There is much in the plea
that the American soldier dead should lie in the
soil they helped to glorify, and be warning to
Germany never again to try to pass that way.
But to The Herald there is more in the yearn-
ing of mothers and fathers to have the bodies OF
their sons at home. 1t may be but sentiment, but
it is sentiment entsngled in an alliance with the
deepest, purest love the world knows. Even when
these bodies reached Liege the way to Antwerp
Belgium gave them national honors and tens OF
thousands mingled tears Of affection and gratitude
with their flowers of admiration on the Hag-draped
caskets.
If this by Belgium tribute, what will be
the feeling of those to whom these boys sons,
and of the country whose sons they were? What
of this country to whom these sons returning
victims of German aItocracy and ruthless ambition
just at this time when Germany is again turning to
government to save her from her past without
any pledge for the future?
There is no hatred of Germany or Germans in
the United States. But there is feeling of very
stern and relentless justice 1t is believed that
Germany has yet paid anything commensurate to
the wanton misery she caused. Americans know
she never can pay in any adequate proportion. But
they feel deeply feel that this generation of Ger
mans should have to devote themselves to paying
to the absolute limit. There is religious element
in this, that would accept real repentance as the
greater compensation in remittance of sins, while
there is also the conyicton that repentance sin
cere must bring even more than willingness to pay,
so that remittance would be in fact, forgiveness.
Nothing can bring back the dead. But with
death the cost, no price can be too great for
unrepentance. Until the Hindenburgs and Luden-
doris cease to be German heroes, exemplars and
models for Cermany's youth, work, not war, labor
not military glory, the saving grace of production
peaceful pursuits, not the greed of ambition at
others cost, must be the enforced future OF Ger
many. Confession, with penance, should precede
absolution. There is no hatred of Germany or
Germans in this country. Neither is there any
sympathy for them

FRosT-REsIsTING FRUIT
TREE SCIENTISTS GOAL

The first steps in the development
OF frost-resistsnt fruit trees may
have been taken when DR.. A. d.
Hopkins. Of the Department Of Ag-
riculture here. noticed that whole
branches Of certain fruit trees we're
totally uninjured by frost during
the recent heavy killing frost while
The leaves and flowers OF all other
parts OF the tree were killed.
These uninjured limbs have been
marked with copper tags bv Dr.
Hopkins in order TO see IL in future
springs when freezes occur the same
branches will show the same hsrdi-
ness. IL they do. as Dr. Hopkins
believes they will, cuttings will be
grown from the hardy branches Of
the Ginko. mulberry and apple trees,
and the development Of the FROST
resisting fruit tree. which would be
! OF great value in fruit raising, will
! be partially accomplished.

Names 81 Wilson
Postal AppOintees

The names of eighty-four of the
3.416 fourth-class postmasters who
were appointed or. reappointed by
the Wilson, administration but not
confirmed by the Senate prior to
March 4, were sent to the Senate
yesterday by President Harding for
confirmation.
These. Postmaster General Hays
explained. were the only ones in the
Wilson list considered by the new
administration to be qualified.
Approximately all of the other
postmasters nominated by President
Wilson during the closing days OF
his administration will be replaced
The Wilson order automatically
gave the appointment to the appli-
cant highest on the list, and Repub-
licans in the Senate refused to con-
firm the 3,416 nominations sent in
during the closing davs of the Will
son administration on the grounds
that the integrity OF most of the ex-
aminations was to be questioned.

Hungary and hold that as a neutral, she had the
right to sell munitions where and when she pleased
and it was our part to intercept and capture them
if we could
Sad, indeed, as this situation is, il is hardly a
N]id reason for declaring liquor eontraband of
war because of civil strife, though it is liable
to capture. 1t might, however, be invoked as an
added reason for exchanging part of the British
debt for the Bahamas, provided the Bahamas were
willing and the British did not include too much
value to them as "going concern" An income of
millions is not something with which to lightly
part company, and the British might prefer to offer
US this income part payment on interest due, or
agree to stop the traffic on that basis, charging the

AND STILL THEY STRIKE.

To the Editor. The wsshingtot Herald:
1t is gossiped in foreign capitals
that there has been much unrest"
amongst the American Ambsssa-
doris. during the last few years. and
that both Presidents Wilson and
Harding have had much trouble in
keeping the places filled, owing to
the meager salaries provided by the
American Congress.
Ambassadors now are out on the
strike.
Demanding a raise of their pay,
Threatening to quit and homeward
to hike,
Refusing to work or to stay,
For forty-eight dollars per day.
And poor Uncle Sam is worried and
sad.
He can't come across with the
dough.
For the watch-dogs in Congress are
ugly and mad.
They only get twenty. you know.
Not much for the gait they must
go.
The Congressman's job, when
fought for and won.
Requires much labor and cheek,
He has get to get seeds, when seeds
there are none,

creek,
And answer long letters from
bosses" at home.
And send them long speeches"
galore,
And answer all knocks at his
door.
when bosses" and geezers to
Washington roam,
And blarney and spit on his noor.
The Ambassadors Job is soft as the
rose.
All perfume and color and wine
AIording cen color for his cheeks
and his nose.
For his Job is TO drink and to
dine.
And daily in daIliance divine.
he needs not to toll nor TO spin nor
to think,
But only to smile and look wise,
To bow and TO nod, to dine and tc
drink,
And tell few Jokes and some
lies.
Pretending all pelf to despise.
Now what is the matter with the
boys Of the press?
Why don't they go after the Jobs ?
Why don't they spruce up, come out
and confess
They are willing to take a few
gobs,
To drink and to dine with the
nobs?
Why .are they so modest, retiring
and shy.
Concealing their talents and
cheek,
And don't they , crack jokes. and

Society told about the forces with
in his model OF the static atom.
He described a new force that
he has evolved that will give
the same spectural series as the
Bohr atom model which is now
in use by physicists in their com
rutations. By means Of these as
sumptions he is able to combine
in a single model of the atom the
explanation OF chemical ,phenomens
which was furnished by his previous
modification OF the Lewis cubical
atom with an explanation OF spec
tural series which only the Bohr
atom had previously given. Such q
combination has never before been
accomplished.

ONLY HALF EARTH.s

There is a portion Of the earth's
surface, an area twice as large as
the United States, that man knows
nothing about. according TO DR.. q.
W. Littlehales, oceanoRrapher in
the Photographic once of the u.
s. navy. who talked TO the Ameri-
can Geophysicsl Union here. Up In
the North Pacific Ocean there are
many square miles Of ocean bot
tom to which no mariners or Sci
entist's sounding line has ever
reached.
Even in our much-traveled
oceans there are immense patches
Of the sea floor. larger in some
cases than the island continent Of
Australia, that are totally unex-
plored." declares Or. Littlehales
In fact. the shape Of over one-half
Of the earth's surface is not known .
Extensive sounding work is need
ed TO tell and map the, conhgura-
tions Of the ocean basins so that
the geologist who is puzzline out
the way in which the earth is
formed 90 have more definite data
with which TO work. Not only
much more work must be done. but
the sounoings must be taken at
closer intervals so that some Of the
slim mountain peaks that arise
from the bed Of the ocean will be
discovered.
Just how close together these
soundings must be in order not to
miss large important submarine
mountains has been figured out by
DR.. Littlehsles. He has found that
by taking account OF the weight OF
water and the weight Of the peak
itself. his computations Of the size
OF the peaks that can exist give the
same results as the actual measure
ments OF the known Underocesn
