What government employees have
four legs. do not observe the eight
hour law. and draw their salary in
foodstuffs? is one question Mr.. Edi-
son forgot to put on his list.
The answer?
Cats, of course. They have been
in the service of the Postoffice De-
partment for many years. The gov
ernment is saved thousands of dol
lars yearly that might otherwise
have to be paid out for the destruc-
tion of valuable articles in the mails
by the rats.
Nearly every postoffice in the
country has a "Tabby," and while
there is no specific appropriation for
his maintenance it is not an un-
common occurrence for a government
voucher to be O.K.'d by high officials
for the purchase of milk. salmon.
or cat-meat.
Compared with the common ci-
william cat, the ash can and street or
aiiey and roof variety, these regu-
lar guards for the national property
are seasoned old campaigners. For
such articles as groceries and meats,
including dressed chicken and fish.

Mr.. McAdoo.

Mr.. McAdoo had told him that he
would be a candidate for the demo-

Mr. McAdoo said that should he decide
to make run for the presidency he
would announce his candidacy direct
to the American people.
Why, of course. In SO important a
matter, Mr.. McAdoo will speak direct
ly to the people and not through an
acquaintance needing an Introduction
to the public.
1t is but fair to add, however, that
the people are expecting an announce
ment in Mr.. McAdoo's good time. He
figures naturally and prominently In
the speculation about 1924. AS The
Star stated the other day, he emerged
from the San Francisco convention
with the prestige of a vigorous fighter
and a good loser, and he is much too
young to be thinking about the shelf.
1t is in order, too, to congratulate

Trying the Worlds Patience

Negotiations for an adjustment of
the breaking point because the Berlin
government refuses to toe the mark
when it comes to a definite and spe-
citic arrangement for paying out cash.
The quibbling of the Berlin govern
ment in the present instance is es.
peCially agGravatinG because it is at
the expense Of Belgium. which only a
few days ago saved Germany from the
consequences of her defaults by adj
vancing compromise plan under
which Germany was granted a mora
tOrium for the rest of the current
year.
The program proposed by Belgium
was self-sacriiicing, because instead of
cash payments due her it provided for
acceptance of siX-months Germany
treasury notes. The reparations com
mission agreed To this, and France re-
luctantly aCquiesced and the applica-
tlon of drastic sanctions was
averted.
Now. instead of evidencing appre-
citation by prompt compliance with the
terms agreed upon. Germany is trying
10 force Belgium to accept treasury
notes for eighteen months instead of
six which would represent an entirely
new adjustment of the reparations
problem and would give Germany
much more liberal terms than ever
were contemplated by the allies.
II is just such conduct as this that
has convinced France. and is tending
to convince the rest of the world. that
Germany does not intend To pay. and
that the debt never can be collected
except by the use of force 1t is a
variety of ''cleverness'' that i'll the
end is likely to overreach itself. The
worlds patience with Germany has
almost reached the point of eXhaus-
ton. and if the creditor nations are
finally driven to the application of
force that force is likely to be applied
to a point which will convince the
Germans that there is truth. after all.
in the old adage that honesty is the
best policy.

Now for Anthracite!

Anthracite mining is to be at once
resumed. The miners and the opera
tors have agreed upon an extension Of
the old scale until August 81 next, and
the former have in convention ratified
the agreement. The formality of sigma
ture is completed today. and the ac-
tive mining of the coal will be imme-
diately started. For this consumma-
ton of the negotiations for settlement
the public is devoutly thankful.
Now the problem is to distribute not
only speedily but evenly the supply
that the miners produce, and to pre-
vent the charging of needlessly high
prices. The people must have anthra-
cite. Their bins are virtually empty.
The season is at hand when they must
begin to stock up, and if there is no
restraint prices far exceeding the cost
of production and a reasonable profit
for those who handle the fuel will be
charged.
The machinery for regulation is
roughly provided for in the states with
a federal supervision possible under
the legislation just passing through
the final stages. In most cases. prob
ably. the dealers will follow the course
of righteousness and charge only what
is requisite to yield them a fair return.
If they are not forced up by the pro-
ducers and middlemen the retailers,
who are closest to the consumers. will
play fair
Quite as. important as price is dis
tribution. There should be no favored
sections or communities. The require
ments are definitely known, from the
records of the past. Washington. for
example. consumes a certain number
of tons in season. 1t has on hand
known quantity. 1t will. therefore,
need an amount that can be deter
mined within a small fraction. The
disposition of the average consumer is.
of course, to put in the total amount
required for the season. But this can
not be done without drawing upon the
stocks necessary to supply those who
do not buy in that way. Indeed. there
cannot be for two or three months
enough anthracite on hand to permit
even half-stocking for everybody.
No favoritism. no profiteering. These
are the needs of this time, and it is up
to the public authorities to make GER
tain that the supply is evenly and fair
ly distributed and that no eXtortion is
practiced. The people are not at fault
for the suspension Of mining during
the past five months and third They
should not pay the cost Of the deplora-
BILE failure of reason that caused the
strike and prevented early settlement
OF differences.

A Light That Has Failed.

Rudyard kipling, who has probably
more admirers in this country than in
all others together. has spilled the
beans irretrievably. In an interview
just published he is quoted as saying
that the United States entered the
great war two years. seven months
and four days TOO late" and forced a
premature peace, quitting the day the
armistice was signed without waiting
to see the thing through: that Amer
lea, the real America. died in 1867;
that this country has got the gold of
the world, but I'VE have saved our
Douls."
kipling would better stick to his
poetry and his stories. He is not a
publicist, and his temperamental spirit
is not the sort to deal with large world
affairs. Somehow he cannot HELM
dramatizing, and therein exaggerat-
Ing. When a dramatist exaggerates
he loses all sense of proportion and
neglects his facts. In this case Kipling
has not only neglected but has dis
torted his facts.
It is true that the United States en-
tered the war late-that is to say, later
than England and Italy. But that was
because the United States had no
cause for war before it did break with
Germany. There was a sentiment in
this country for immediate espousal Of
the allied cause in 1914. it is true, but
It was not dominant or sufficient to
Justify action. There is a wide differ
ence Of opinion among the American
people today whether the United
States should have gone in even on
the ground of the Lusitania, grave as
was the provocation then.
1t is true that the war was ended
too soon, in the Judgment Of many
Americans as well as many Euro

No Foolproof Crossings.

The latest local contribution to the
record Of grade-crossing disasters is
peculiarly horrible in detail A motor
across railroad track ahead of a
train, despite the vigorous signaling
of a watchman. At the last moment.
! seeing that he could not beat the train.
he swerved to the side, only to be
caught by the locomotive with a side
long blow. The motor was smashed,
the gasoline tank burst and the fluid
ignited. burning the bodies of the
| three men beyond recognition. The en-
gineer of the train. seeing the motor
just before the impact, put on his
brakes so suddenly that a passenger
| was thrown down and his back was
broken.
In this case there was no conceiva-
BILE need Of haste to cross the tracks.
| 1t was plain that there was danger
ahead. a watchman was waving for
the motor driver to halt. But he
plunged on at a rate of speed said to
have been close to fifty miles an hour.
Death in the most ghastly form re-
suited, not only for the foolhardy
| driver but for his companions.
There is only one way to make cross
| ings safe against such recklessness,
! and that is to eliminate them, putting
/ the roads above or below the tracks.
But while that will have to be done
eventually, meantime the hope is that
| road users will be reasonably careful.
Watchmen cannot stop the frantically
speeding drivers. Bells will not check
them. Signs will not be needed by
them. If only those who actually take
the chances were the victims it might
be well enough to let them continue
without regret. save for the waste of
life. But almost invariably the motors
are occupied by others, who lose their
! lives along with the speeders.
Perhaps this shocking affair in near
by Maryland will convince a few Dis
trict people of the deadly folly of run
ming across tracks without first halt
ing and ascertaining that there is a
safe chance to cross. No matter how
! infrequent the trains, there is always
! danger of death at every grade cross
! ing.
