CATURDAY was festival day in Southern
- Maryland, Washington's natural trading
territory when the first dirt was spaded for
the million-dollar highway which will give the
farmers of the FIVE counties easy route to Balti-
more The tillers of the soil in Prince Georges,
Charles, St. Marys, Calvert and Anne Arundel
counties, OF course, have occasion to rejoice. The
opening OF a road always is important
event in the lives of farmer people 1t
less isolation, enjoyment of all the advantages
OF civilization and better money for their products
Merchants of Washington, however, have less
occasion to be jubilant. 1t means, in any event.
that they will lose trade. 1t means that some
Southern Maryland farmers who bring their
eggs and vegetables to Washington and exchange
them for shoes and plough handles will go to
Baltimore instead The opening of that road may
well amount to tragedy for District business men.
Washington stores need country trade. Washing
toI. needs wealthy rural district with which it
exchange products-and Southern Maryland
has gained a reputation of the richest farm
ing territories in the United States, where every
resident has plenty of money.
But a part OF the blow can be warded off.
There good roads from Southern Maryland
into Washington. They are mostly dirt surfaced,
it is true, but they reasonably smooth Farmers
complain that they meet with the greatest diff
culties inside the District line. Eleventh street
southeast has proved particularly irritating
try people with loads of produce destined for Wash
ington markets Naturally their trucks and wagons
are loaded to capacity. The result is broken springs
damaged goods and lower prices 1t does not re-
quire great deal to spoil the results of hard
weeks work for the average farmer
More and more frequently of late have come
complaints about the streets entering the District
from this section OF Maryland. Few will deny
sthat these complaints justified. If the streets
are repaired without delay great deal OF the ad-
vantage which will go Baltimore on account
OF the million-dolla road will be Offset
Otherwise the District will lose a major portion
OF its farmer trade from this section OF the neigh
boring State. Merchants who benefit by the influx
OF farmers appreciate the importance of the present
situation and united in demand that means
of entering the District on the southeast be made
easy.

Men Worthy Of Aid.


"A technically and with wide experience in
executive positions, soon will be out of work in
the District of Columbia. They are men who
have devoted their lives to patriotic service Of the
United States. We refer to the army officers who
soon will be separated from the service because
of the necessity of reducing the personnel on the
active list.
The War Department appeals to private in
dustry to absorb these men as rapidly as possible
IN order to prevent unnecessary hardship
OF the officers to be separated from the serv-
ice, many highly qualified professional men such
as lawyers, surgeons chaplains, engineers dentists
and veterinarians. Many others are men of high
attainments, qualified fill responsible positions in
commercial and industrial establishments. These
officers have served the government for varying
periods of time some of them twenty years or more,
and have rendered faithful and efficient service.
Their characters and qualifications are we'll known.
1t is therefore but fitting that upon their separa-
ton from the service they should be afforded every
opportunity to enable them to attain success in
civil occupations. Due to the fact that these off
have frequently changed their place of resi-
dence, many of them have lost contact with local
affiliations; and it may happen that many of high
qualifications who to be separated from the
service will have great difficulty in obtaining ex-
pedtously suitable civil occupation and undoubted-
ly there many civil organizations which have
need for their services.
An army officer is, by his training and by his
association, peculiarly mbibed with those attributes
which make character. His general quail i6cations
are such that he must be able to adopt himself
readily to new conditions and new surroundings.
His military education should have trained him to
think quickly, to logically and to arrive
promptly at correct decisions His training should
particularly qualify him for supervision of men.
1t is the desire of the War Department to
render the maximum of assistance to these Off
who will be seeking positions in civil life,
and with this in view there has been established
in the Adjutant Generals Office an agency which
will act clearing house to aid them in securing
employment making business connections.
Corporations, commercial and industrial establish
ments and other civil activities located in Wash
ngton and vicinity thereof who have positions open
or who desire to cooperate in this scheme are
urged to notify the Commanding General, District
of Washington, and the names of men possessing
the qualifications desired will be furnished.

A Hint Worthy of Consideration.

DLANS already underway for Washington's
next Music Week Despite adverse circum-
stances which, up to date, have made this insttu-
tion financial failure it has filed an important
niche i'll the civic life of the National Capital The
city i'll could afford to allow its dscontinuancc
We would call to the attention OF the men
and women who work so hard and so unselfshly
each year TO make this affair success the plan
to be followed at Portland Greg, this fall In
order to emphasize the importance OF music the
first day of the annual festival in November will
be made mute. The City Council has issued orders
that not musical instrument be sounded in any
home on that day, and that the populace use the
voice only for conversation. Then the silence will
be broken with triumphant burst OF melody on
the second day.
Music is commonplace in every home that
it is difficult to appreciate its supreme importance
1t is as familiar the sunshine and the green
grass and the blue sky Folks take it as matter
of course-as they take light and heat and water
But 1t is one OF the necessities OF human life. The
race presume could not exist very long in a
high state OF civilization without harmony and
melody, which has constituted through the ages
the most potent motive for the elevation of charter
The hand-orgsn grinder on the corner may be a
nuisance at ordinary times. But it is reasonable
to suppose, he would be considered blessing in
Would it not be excellent idea to have a
muscless day in Washington next spring-to
silence for twenty-four hours the grand pianos in
the mansions, the great organs in the churches
the orchestras in the dance halls and restaurants
the happy harmony from family parors the boys
with mouth organs the streets, the bells the
accordions Of beggars-everything capable of pro-
ducng melodious sound? We venture to predict
that the Music Week which followed would be by
far the most successful in the history of the
National Capital.
Which would be the greater cruelty on the
part OF a conquering MISREPRESENTATION of half
the houses in city orders forbidding the people
sing play? Not few would protest most
vigorously against the latter course. Music crowns
the triumphs Of victors and softens the pains of
the vanqu;shed; it soothes the agony of suffering
and brings hope to the hopeless. 1t is as essential
to the soul water is essential to the body.
Let try to do without it for one day and we
will understand

New Hope for Disabled Vets.
ITO Brigader General Charles E. Sawyer W
i wish to extend the right hand of good fellow

|TO Brigadler General Charles E. Sawyer we
i wish to extend the right hand of good fellow
ship. He has yielded to the demands of the
American Legion the issue of keeping disabled
veterans in contract hospitas-and he has done right
We were srieved during the long controversy as
we always grieved when bitterness comes be-
tween sincere We were confident through it
all that General Sawyer sincere and we were
confident, at the time, that he was wrong.
The best that he could do was to admit his mis-
take and yield like gentleman. 1t is no crime to
be mistaken. There never public man of con-
sequence who did not make mistakes. The test of
manhood comes in the ability to admit errors.
General Sawyer versed thoroughly in the
subject of hosptalization Doubtless he knew more
about this matter than the officials of the American
Legion. 1t had been his life study. Long before the
came to Washington he had achieved distinguished
success in that field. But, as said at the time we
question whether the White House physician had an
equal understanding of veterans
General Sawyer wished we'll for the disabled men
There can be no question this point No loyal
American could wish otherwise. No loyal Ameri-
would not be willing to render any service
which would make better the lot of the man who
sacrificed his good health in the muddy fields of
France. And let man question the fact that
General Sawyer is loyal, one hundred per cent
American
lhe American Legion officials also wished well
for the wounded veterans. The organization made
this the chief for its existence Colonel
Sprague and his associates, it is likely, were better
acquainted with the problems than any other Ameri-
cans because they understood not only hospital
conditions but the minds and souls Of soldiers.
1t would have been a tragedy if the controversy
had continued The chief sufferers would not have
been Legion officials the White House physician.
but the men who could not help themselves-the
mentally incompetent the consumptives the nerve
wrecks. With the two conflicting forces together
again there should be an immediate and decided
improvement in conditions far as wounded men
concerned. There should be steady decline
in the reports of scandaous conditions behind hos
ptal walls-of abuse of veterans, lack of care lack
of medicines, absence of fixed responsibility There
have been too many such reports recently.
A contract hospital may be a very good institu-
ton. 1t may be better than any which the govern
ment could operate. But there be no guarantee
that such is the case. There is decided proba-
bity that the exact opposite will be true. Wher-
the contract system in force there is bound
to be decided tendency to consider disabled vet
Grams charity patients-and such an attitude will
do more than anything else in the world to retard
proper recovery
The Legion officials knew this. Fortunately for
all concerned General Sawyer has come to the
same point of view.

She has spent much time in the
front ranks of the army during the
recent advances Of the Turkish
troops. Her favorite picture shows
her with an Arabian charger.
Her father was treasurer to Su1-
tan Abdul Hamid. He was a pro-
gressive and determined to give his
daughter western" education.
she was one of the first Turkish
girls to be enrolled at the AmerI-
can College for Girls at Constan-
tinople.
1t is said that her studies were
interrupted often, however, as her
rather called her home every time
the Sultan became suspicious re-
garding the girls absence. The
Sultan objected strenuously to this
western Influence"
Dan Cupid attended the college
too. Salih Beh. professor of mathe..
mates there, fell in love with the
pretty Halide and after graduation
In 1901 they were married. They
had several children and were hap
py for a time. Then. according TO
her friends Halide objected when
Salih decided to bring home a
second wife. Revolving at one of
the customs of her people she di-
vorced him.
When Abdul Hamid was depused
she became a leader in the new
Turkish movement and a worker
for greater freedom for the Turkish
women. She wrote frank articles
regarding educational and political
conditions.
During the world war Diemal
Pasha placed her in charge of the
Syrian schools. 1t was her influ-
ence which prevented Djemal taxi
ing over the Constantinople college
when war was declared on Ger
many by the u. s.
She married DR.. Adnan Bey, Con-
stantinople physician, in 1917. Some
time after their marriage he be-
came vice president of the Angora
parliament.
Although a devout Moslem she
was friendly to the British until
the allies refused to interest them
selves in the death of two of her
friends at the hands of Greek SOL
diers. She then bitterly assailed
all westerners.
When the Nationalist movement
was begun she was sought in Stam-
boul for deportation but escaped
with her husband by boat into Asia
Minor.

Charges Carded Wool Men Seek
Unfair Advantage in New Tariff
Attack on Schedules Is Answered in Detail by
Representative w. R. Green of Iowa.

schedule to which I have before
referred.
Nor is Mr.. Moir much better
than you. He, too. gives out a let
ter in which he tries to demon
strate that the emergency tariff.
which has been in force for nearly
a year and a half, Is not higher
than the rates in the new bill on
wool and that. therefore, Mr. Long
worth was wrong when he stated
that the rates in the new bill were
lower. Yet he is compelled to ad-
nit that nearly 500, 100000 were
being held in bond waiting the
lower rates Of the new tariff and
that wool imported IN the skirted
condition would not only have paid
a higher duty but a very much
higher duty than 10 provided IN the
present law.
Statements Incorrecf.
He seeks to avoid this by say
ing that IL time had been given
for the exporter to accustom him
self to the provisions of the bill
the wool could have been imported
at a lower rate. He speaks OF wool
skirted. Most of such wool would
shrink between go and 70 per cent
If imported unsecured and pay a
higher rate than that provided in
the new bill. and Mr.. Moir knows
it. Notwithstanding the violent as
sertions that he makes to sustain
himself. Among the numerous
kinds of wool some particular kind
might be picked out on which the
rate would be less, but on the kinds
OF wool which are commonly i'm
ported in large quantities his
statement is anything but correct.
Il notice that in your statements
you continue to talk about the
skirted clause provision IN the
emergency law as a Joker. A
joker is provision in which in
some way the real purpose thereof
is concealed. The skirting clause
provision in the emergency bill was
so plain that he who runs could
read. The evasions Of the rates in
the Payne bill by skirting had been
so notorious and the object not only
Of so much discussion but Of so
much Just criticism on a bill that
permitted its evasion that no bill
could be expected to pass either
branch Of Congress that permitted
a repetition. The Joker OF the
Payne bill was stricken out in the
emergency bill. The public can
we'll Judge of your fairness that
when a Joker is taken out Of the
wool schedule you say that one is
inserted.
Cloth Rates Lower.
The trouble with Mr.. Moir and
you is that you want to get an ad-
vantage over other importers OF
wool in a different line from your
own, This is the real reason why
you are making these wild asser-
tions and endeavoring to prejudice
the American people against the
bill. What the people buy is cloth
and the rates on cloth are much
lower than the rates in the Payne
bill.
Very truly yours,
