Rats.

And now it is to be war on rats.
Man makes war for his own safety
and comfort on flies, mosquitoes, rats
and long and lengthening list of
other 'vermin" and beasts of prey.
Many crimes and misdemeanors have
been charged against the rat, and a
grand jury composed of scientists in
disease and causes of disease has re-
turned true bill against the rat. He
has been convicted of all the charges
set forth in the Indictment. Sentence
has been passed upon him. and it is up
to everybody to carry out the SEN
tence. If a clean job can be made of
il so much the better.
Health Officer Fowler has promul-
gated the declaration of war on rats,
and Commissioner Oyster gives the
plan his Endorsement, and has in
structed the health department to do
its utmost in carrying on the drive.
Commissioner Rudolph gives his sup
port to the campaign, and believes
with DR.. Fowler and Commissioner
Oyster that there is no more bene-
fetal work the health department can
take up than to impress upon the resi-
dents of the District. the advisability
Of exterminating the rat"
The campaign against the rat is to
be waged with trap and poisoned food,
and all the Towsers and dogs of other
names, especially those Of the terrier
tribe, and all the tomcats, Ash Can
Sans and pet Marias are to be encour-
aged to do their worst. 1t has been
estimated that the rat population Of
the United States is as large as the
human population, but there Is no
other estimate of the number Of rats
in the District of Columbia than that
there are too many. 1t Is quite reason
able to believe that rats are not so nu-
merous in Washington as they were.
Many rats used to pick stables as
their homes, but there are slim pick
ings in that direction now. There
may be such things as garage rats, but
it is not likely that they are as fat.
we'll fed and arrogant as the old stable
rats used to be. And people do not
have as much garbage as they used
to. and they take better care of it by
keeping it covered in metal cans till
the garbage man comes around. So it
would seem that in the matter of gar
bage the rat is. in poorer circum-
stances than he once was. However,
there seem to be rats, and the official
order is that they must go.

q force 1t should recast the mission
to conform to the smaller force it Is
contemplating. 1t should not expect
or demand the impossible. The tools,
and enough Of them, to the men who
are to use them. and men enough to
use the tools.
This same proposition is put up to
Congress in the case of the Navy. The
Nays mission, as defined and ac-
cepted by those charged with carrying
it out, calls for larger force than
the naval committee of the House has
recommended. The duty Of the House,
therefore, is either to vote q force
large enough for the Nays mission
as now defined, br recast the mission
so as to bring it within the power Of
a smaller force.
In both cases Congress is being ad-
vised by men trained in the art of ma
tional defense, and who have shown
competence for their work. Why not
be guided by them. and especially as
at this time the country is deeply de-
sirous that its defense be made en-
tirely adequate? Why, as Mr.. Long

Give the Lazy Man His Due.

Perhaps the world has not given
the lazy man the credit he deserves
for the progress that has been made
toward the ideal life When the lazy
man is considered dispassionately 1t
is seen that some important inven-
tions are the result of his disinclina-
ton to work
For example, there is the riding
cultivator. which is said to be the
product of the ingenuity of a man
who was sure that his legs were
never intended to drag after a hand
implement. Not only does the farmer
ride in cultivating now. but he gets
much more cultivating done There
is not much to be said for the man
who refuses to do any work at all.
but the man who is just lazy enough
to do his work in the easiest way
has been able to hit upon many ideas
that have added to his sum total of
human efficiency.
Many devices that have contributed
largely to production may be traced
to the desire of some individual to
save himself from unnecessary phys
ical effort. Many an inventor who
has reputation for industry may
have had only commendable kind
of laziness.-Sheridan, Wyo.. Enter
prise (democramc).

suspicious Of frances Intentions.
There is no real belief. in America at
least, that France is militaristic and
bent on armed conquests. What well
informed Americans think is that
France magnifies the danger OF ag-
grsssions against her by some other
power or combination Of powers, and
in consequence is carrying an unnec-
essary burden Of defensive arma-
ments.
1t is rather striking coincidence
that on the same day M. Barthou COM
planned at Genoa OF the lack of under
standing the government at Paris
notified the league of nations that
cation not to exceed for the next two
financial years the sum Of the total
expenditure for naval, military and air
forces provided for in the budget of
1922" Also on the same day the repa-
rations commission drafted a note to
the Berlin government in which the
German attitude toward reparations
payments is described as '.intransi-
gent
Certainly there is no danger of Ger
man aggressions against France with
in the next two financial years. for
Germany is utterly incapable of such
aggressions, whatever her desires
might be. The only other armed force
which by any stretch of the imagina-
ton could constitute a menace to
France is the red army of Russia. and
at Genoa the Russian delegates have
taken the initiative in trying to bring
about discussion Of disarmament.
Such being the facts, it is difficult to
escape the conclusion that in the mat
ter of limiting ornaments it is France
which is intransigent.
When Washington, in his farewell
address, warned against passionate
attachment" for particular nations he
had reference to France. The Ameri-
can people then had peculiar affection
for the nation which had come to the
rescue of the struggling colonies and
helped them to win their independ-
ence. That affection has never ceased
to exist, and is as alive today as it was
when Washington was made uneasy
by it in 1896 If Americans misunder-
stand France it is not because they
do net want to understand. But when
they see France suffering grievously
from what they are convinced is her
own lack of understanding they would
poorly play the role of friendship by
keeping silent.

Glad We Aren't Worth 1,000,-
100000.

A little item in this mornings news
helps us to understand why the wis
est of mankind-the men whose
names do not live for merely day,
but are remembered throughout CEN
turies-have held that it is only fools
who give up their lives to seeking
great power and great riches.
The riches-of Rockefeller have not
won the wise mems approval any
more than the wise mems envy. be-
cause while we are sometimes told
that such enormous fortunes can be
used to bless mankind it happens that
the big achievements of the human
race have not come that way. They
have been the fruits of the labors OF
men who cared more for other things
than for money, and few of them had
money to thank for their ability to
do what they did for civilization. And
as for the mere pleasure of life, who
doesn't prefer the ordinary mans free
dom to the restrictions that surround
king or the mate of king, Nor
gan or a Rockefeller?
Just imagine; they dedicated new
Baptist church in New York yester-
day. and as Rockefeller had given
half of the $1,500,0 900 It cost, he want
ed to be present. But in order to
make 1t possible for him to attend.

President Harding and the Navy.

Acting clearly within the proprieties
and avoiding all appearance of dicta-
ton. the chief executive in his letter
to Representative Longworth of Ohio,
answering an inquiry as to the Presi-
dents views on the proposed reduction
of Navy personnel, may be said to
have added the last word to the argu-
ment against the drastic cut. The
Presidents letter to Mr.. Longworth
was opportune, as repeated state
ments had been made in the House
that the President was neutral on the
limit in mind, or that he would be
satisfied with anything the House
might give.
Now there is definite declaration
in the record Of the case from every
governmental source interested that
the enlisted force proposed by the
House committee on appropriations
will be insufficient to maintain the
Navy in fit condition or to conform to
the standard of efficiency provided in
the naval limitation treaty. The
President, the Secretary Of State, the
Secretary of the Navy, the general
board Of the Navy and all the experts
have Joined, in solemn warning to Con-
gress not to carry out the disastrous
policy proposed by the House commit
tee on appropriations.
II the House, to save the face of its
committee, should uphold the commit
tee report, there is every reason to be.
lieve that the Senate will increase the
personnel to the number suggested
by the President, and il the Senate
should not do that, the President. in
all consistency, would be justified in
vetoing legislation of such perilous
nature to the nations welfare.

Ready to Fund Debts.

The allied debt-funding commission
has been called to meet Tuesday for
organiza ton. and when this has been
accomplished it will be ready to un-
dertake the most gigantic task of
peace-time financing in the history of
the world. The debts owed this gov
ernment by the governments of Eu
rope, totaling more than S11 1000. .000,-
600, and represented now by overdue
demand notes and unpaid interest, are
to be converted into securities with
specific provision for payment of prin-
cipal and interest, and in form to be
realized upon in the open market
should circumstances arise to make
such course seem advantageous to
the American government.
When this gigantic Indebtedness
has been funded on businesslike
basis one of the most serious causes
of unsettlement in world finance will
have been removed. Neither the gov
ernment of the United States nor the
governments of any of the debtor ma
tions have been able to map out pro-
grams for the future while this uncer-
tainty hung like threatening cloud
in the financial skies. The debt. in its
present form, also has contributed to
the unsettlement of exchange and the
impairment of European commercial!
credit. and all international CONNER
cial enterprise has been adversely af
fected by it.
The personnel of the funding COM
mission is one to inspire confidence.
both at home and abroad. The people
Of this country will have no fear that
the interests of America will not be
amply safeguarded. while the peoples
of Europe will feel assured of SYM
pathetic and intelligent understanding
of the difficulties which enmesh them.
Under the law, the Secretary of the
man of the commission. The Presi-
dent nominated and the Senate has
confirmed as associated members the
Secretary of State, Mr.. Hughes; the
Secretary of Commerce. Mr.. Hoover;
Senator Smoot Of Utah and Repre-
sentative Theodore Z. Burton of Ohio.
This gives a balanced body of excep-
tionai ability. Secretary Hughes will
be able to steer clear of diplomatic pit
falls in, the negotiations. Secretary
Mellon and Senator Smoot are pecul-
iarly qualified to view the problem
from the standpoint of American in
terests, while Secretary Hoover and
Representative Burton not only are
familiar with American interests. but
have made extensive study of financial
conditions in Europe.
Even with the limitations placed
upon the commission by the act of
Congress creating it, it is difficult to
conceive Of greater power being placed
in the hands of five men than. these
men will WELD. Fortunately for the
world. they are men of type which
gives assurance that their power will
not be abused.

Playground Scouts.

Scouting for Fairgrounds, or look
ing about the city and suburbs for lots
that can be used for Fairgrounds, has
much to commend it and promises to
produce results. Such Fairgrounds
may be found, and for every lot found
and listed as a playground the pres
sure of the streets as Fairgrounds will
be relieved. Then, there is some zest
in getting up and getting out and do
ing that for ones self which the gov
ernors will not do. It shows that
peculiar quality which the ancients Of
another generation called 'ispunk." !"
and which the moderns caIl pep"

win out in this hunt for Fairgrounds,
because it is habit with so many
boys to get what they go after.

New Gateway to the Capital
Would Open Up Large Territory

Woodside and Forest Glen other than
the single car line now running on
Georgia avenue, and when i4th street
is opened and developed, and with i'm
proved street car service, this entire
section will expand and become one
of the most valuable sections of the
city from residential and also from
an assessment standpoint.
East of Rock Creek Park-which
travellers have pronounced the finest
natural park in all the world-there
is at the present time no opportunity
for opening up streets into the north
west section and into Maryland, and
these communities are now dependent
upon the single Georgia avenue car
line. With this improvement COM
pleted, they will go forward wien
the plans now matured. and the build
ing boom in that region VIII in a
large measure meet the crying heeo
for homes at reasonable figures. as
the land in that section can stiil De
bought at comparatively low prices.
There has been some objection 10
the measure because of the proposed
improvement through the Walter
Reed Hospital reservation. The claim
was made that it would be detri-
mental to the health and safety of the
patients in the hospital wards. The
blue prints on file with the committee,
and which We're prepared in the sur
geon generals Office, show that be-
tween 14th street and 10th street 1t is
only contemplated to establish mu-
scum. library and faculty officers
quarters, SO that the opening of l4th
street would not cause any discomfort
to the patients in the hospital. who
will all, according to the plan OF the
medical department, be located be-
tween 14th street and Georgia ave
nue..
The proposed measure has been ap-
proved by the District Commission
ers, by the Secretary of War and ny
the highway commission of the DIS
trict
In view of the fact that the Sol
diers' Home, Rock Creek cemetery
and the Columbia Institution for the
Deaf act as tArriers to development
through these reservations, and as
18th street.-The Avenue of the
Presideuts"-which leads from the
north directly to the White House. is
being used only by motor vehicles, IT,
opening up of 14th street is an aL-~
lutte necessity, and the completion =
this Improvement is eagerly awaited.

Health.

Education of the public against
disease is exceedingly important. and
newspapers. that is. some newspapers.
are great educators. The Star, with
the aim of helping in the cause OF
health, publishes each Saturday one
of series of "brief, understandable
and authoritative articles on the cause
and prevention Of common diseases"
which have been prepared through
the good offices of the surgeon general
of the United States public health
service"
Remarkab bic headway has been made
in the past generation in combating
and preventing disease, and there
should be no truce in the combat. The
good work should go steadily on. The
causes of much disease have been dis
covered by the men Of medicine, and
the knowledge has been passed along
freely to all laymen who would or
who could accept it. knowledge Of
the causes OF disease and means Of
preventing it are expanding, and 1t is
one duty of the press to give the in
formation to as many of the people as
possible. The articles prepared by the
public health service are life-savers
and health-makers, and they should
be read. They should be read not only
by persons whose health is below par
but by those whose health is at par or
higher. 1t is possible for laymen to
know practically all that is known
about prevention of disease, and they
should know it. 1t is easier to prevent
disease than to cure it. And knowl-
edge of the ways OF disease prevention
is an especially valuable and interest
ing form of knowledge.

France and Her Friends.

In an address to American and Brit
fish newspaper correspondents at
Genoa, NJ. Louis Barthou. head Of the
French delegation in the economic
conference, complained that nations
which are the natural friends Of
France misunderstood her and are
suspicious Of her intentions. His ref
erence, Of course. is to the United
states and Great Britain. They not
only are her natural friends but they
are actual friends, and they have de-
sire neither to misunderstood nor to
suspect. That certainly is true Of the
United States, and 1t undoubtedly is
true Of Great Britain.
It is probable that M. Barthou ua-
Intentionally exaggerates when he
says the British and Americans are
