Just What America Wants.

SSXV/HAT have to say to Americans shall
w say simply and softly because America
is country of things simple and upright Thus
the Tiger sums up his plans for his American trip
during which he proposes to deliver four lectures
on the war, the peace and the present position OF
France.
NJ Clemenceau will do well if he follows out
his expressed intention. Americans have the most
kindly feelings possible in respect to France The
friendship between the two countries has diminished
very slightly indeed since the comradeshp of arms
established during the war. Americans wish France
to get all the due fruits Of victory if they do
feel Dad when there is suggestion that the re-
public seeks rather the extortion of revenge. 1t
would be difficult to find living Frenchman more
capable OF presenting Frances true story to Amer
ica or more certain of sympathetic reception.
NJ Clemenceau is great statesman. Some OF
his accomplishments hardly have been paralleled
IN recent years 1t is largely to him that France
and the allies owe any victory at all. He whipped
weary. and discouraged nation into new fighting
energy and he turned probable defeat into certain
victory by his genius. But he is not diplomat
He will not speak his mind from behind silken
veil He will not sweeten censure with rneanino
less compliments. From man of his type Amer
lea wants to hear the brief Of France-not from a
man who will modify the truth rather than iniure
anyone's feelings.
doubtless M Clemenceau will have some
thngs to say which will not be pleasant But he
VIII never leave possibility of doubt but that
everything he says is uppermost in his mind His
heareiS VIII know that he is talking sincerely and
frankly. We sometimes have suspected that French
visitors, as well delegations from other En-
ropean powers, have concealed frown under a
smile.
We do not care whether NJ. Clemenceau cx-
presses himself softly or otherwise II will h.
enough II nc remembers his intention to speak
s"ipiy, with many things he says probably
Shall dIsagree-for the viewpoint OF France is not
identical with the viewpoint of America and never
can De. But he will leave a clearer atmosphere
Dehind HIM when he sails across the Atlantic again
after his four lectures. We suspect some French
men OF harborng secret grudges against us-and
we 10 not like these secret grudges If NJ Gle
menceau has grudge he will tell us about it face
to face-and that is the best way to settle grudpes
after all.

the District to hire additional instructors. Hence
high school pupils, for the most part will get only
a part OF days instruction instead OF the whole
day to which they are entitled and which they
would get in nearly every other American city.
Lack OF school facilities was not peculiar to
Washington two years ago. There had been an
almost complete suspension OF building during the
war. No public works were undertaken when the
country had much greater need OF materials
and labor in other lines and when the price was
almost prOhbitivc. The cities and large towns

But it became possible to build at
a reasonable price, cities lost no time in
catching up with their building programs New
schools were the first to receive consideration.
The shortage Of classrooms has been largely over

In Washington however it has been possible to
make little hcadway. District people cannot spend

This is the month when Wash

city for more desirable housing ac-
commodations. either for the pur-
pose OF getting lower rent. more
convenient location. better accom-
modations or simply for a change.
Probably nearly every family
which looks for another apartment
goes to the ofices Of from six TO
twenty-five real estate and rental
agencies. This must naturally ere,
ate in the minds of these aserrv
heads the idea that there IS a far
greater demand for apartments
than really exists. The effect in
keeping up rents can easily be
seen.
With more than thirty large nev.
apartment buildings now undc-
construction in the city. there
should be no scarcity Of housing
accommodations OF this kind this
winter. Tenants. therefore. should
avoid making leases whenever nos
sihle. and should not hesitate 10
tell these agencies that their rents
are eNorbitant and uniuxtiNed
When all these new apartments
come into the market. rents will
drop to a proper level. In the
meantime. prospective house seek
ers can help the restoration to nor
malcy by declining to submit to
