Another crisis has been averted be-
tween Germany and France. The un-
derstanding was that unless Germany
came across with satisfactory assur-
ances by May 81, France would take
more drastic action against the Ruhr
region. Germany has replied that she
will accede to Frances demands on
certain conditions, based on her ability
60 float a foreign loan. The French
were. not altogether satisfied with the
answer; butYt has the approval of the
reparations commission, and the un-
derstanding is that Germany has the
balance of the year 1922 in which to
comply with its conditions.

n calamity. In the case! of the York
vile beople, it happened that they
were able to secure special services
from the registration board and thus
the more quickly appease their stress;
but in case of a similar development
in any other community, and there will
certainly be such developments, the
matter cannot be arranged so confeni-
emily, perhaps, and people will be re-
penting for long time afterward what
they failed to do a short time before.
The lesson of the whole incident is
that women everywhere should take
the steps necessary to qualify them
selves to vote, so that when the occa-
sion arises they will be in position
to do as they please about the matter.

MUNICIPAL REGISTRATIONS

There has been an unusual activity
in Yorkville in the matter of municipal
registration during the past week, the
more especially since last Tuesday
morning. Interested workers have been
making personal canvasses Of all the
potehtional voters of the town, both
men and women, and by persuasion
enlargement have induced large num-
bers who would not otherwise have
been interested to qualify themselves
to vote. The registration lists aspub-
lished up to last Tuesday afternoon,
included total of 34S names. Since
then 157 more names have been added
and when the books were closed last
Wednesday night the total stood at
sos. The names added since the last
list was published Tuesday are as fol-
lows. s.

FOLLOWING a meeting of the eXecu-
tive council of the United Brotherhood
of Maintenance of Way Employees and
Railway Shop Laborcrs at Detroit,
Mich, Monday afternoon, there was
unanimously adopted resolution in
structing Il. r. Cradle, the president
TO send out strike ballot to all men,
bers of the organization and all non
union workers in the crafts affected by
the wage cut ordered by the railroad
labor board Sunday. The resolution
adopted by the executive council, which
is composed of the officers of the
union, specified the ballots should ask
whether or not the workers were will
ing. to accept the cut and declared if
they were not "the union will use the
full economic powers OF the OrganiZa-
ton to resist the reduction of wages
ordered by the labor board" PrCSi-
dent Cradle said afterwards he expect
ed the returns would be in by June |,
explaining in case of strike vote he
was empowered to call the men out,
he fixed July 3 as the tentative date,
by which arrangements could be com
pleted 10 put the strike i'm effect. The
NdSe cut Is cHcctlNc July !, unucf thc
board order. President Cradle am
nounced the ballots would be sent out
Immediately and that if the workers
decided to strike in protest against the
cut, the JwalkOut would be effective
about July ;. He estimated 47S,000
members of the union and about 1000
non union workers would be asked to
vote. virtually every, railroad in the
country with the exception of short
lines and electric roads being affected,

The desirabilitx of changing the date

The desirability of changing the date
Of Memorial Day to May 80 is even
more apparent. That is the most gen.
orally observed date throughout the
nation, and it is the date that has been
recognized by the American Legion,
which is the commonly accepted and
organization of the World
war veterans. 1t is hardly practicable
for the local service men to change
the date, back TO May 10, and disposi-
tion to continue the observance of two
days. in the same month will contrib
ute to Indifference if not friction.
There is no compromise Of principle
involved, and under all the circum-
stahces The Change should be agreed
upon without delay. AS good way as
any would be for representative or
ganizations to unite in :; petition to
the legislature for the change.

- Charleston, May 81: After having
been vacant for several months, the
barracks and homes at Fort Moultrle
arc again occupied, and the atmos-
phcrc at the island fortress is again
filled with the voices Of husky Amer
lean soldiers. To these voices have
been added those of 81 German war
brides and 81 sturdy German Ameri-
can children. The United States trans
port Cantigny arrived here last Sun
day and dcbarkcd I22 officers and
men. of the 2nd battalion, Eighth In
fantry, and their wives and children.
The war brides have been the source
OF much interest and comment and
numbers of Charleston people have
journeyed over to the fort to see them
and their children. The children have
attracted much attention and when
mothers were landed at the fort sun
day afternoon they were met at the
wharf by large crowd of Sulivan's
Island folk anxious tu see and carry
the babies. At first rather timid, the
women gradually became more at
home and readily accepted attentions
of the Red Cross workers ut the fort.

News of the appeal of Frank JEFF
fords, the Richland county murderer,
recently sentenced to death along with
Ira Harrison, for killing j. c. Annette,
naturally. recalls the warning recently
sounded by Chief Justice Gary against
the filing>of appeals on frivolous pre-
texts" Jeffords is said to. have pre-
pared his own appeal for the perfec-
tion of which, he has given an order on
John K. Aull, court stenographer, for
a transcript of the record in the case.
OF course there is no reasonable prob
ability that there is anything in the
appeal beyond the desperate, but some
what natural desire to gain a few more
days of life. That Jeffords is guilty of
the murder and that he is deserving Of
the death that has been adjudged
against him there is no question. The
case is as clear as it is possible for it
to be. But somehow we wonder
whether the condemned man is really
prosecuting these appeal steps by his
lonesome, and whether or not, after
all, there il. down behind it the advice
and work of lawyer who is not show
ing up on the record; but who is new
ertheless after fee which he will get.
Of course, under the established rule,
there is nothing else for it than that
JeffordS gets n stay Of execution; and
maybe he will be able to drag the case
along for quite awhile. Whether there
is lawyer behind the proceedings or
not, the recent warming Of Justice Gary
is being treated with frivolity that
would be amusing were the circum-
stances less serious.
