twenty or thirty good husky policemen, members
of the Washington force for instance, armed only
with clubs and with good motorcycles or horses,
could keep Mayence and the surrounding country
as peaceable as rural Virginia. They would be
capable OF dealing with any revolution that started
among the city and village hoodlums- -particularly
If the local German police could be persuaded to
cooperate.

In rsspect to the editorial IN The
Herald headed The Fsdest-lan's
View" inviting comment. Il 10 be-
iieved that the automobile trafic has
Increased In this city during the
past three years 50 per cent. until
the pedestrian no longer has any a.
surance OF safety on the streets.
For this reason many people have
bought automobiles before they
were financially able TO own them az
precautionary measure against be-
ing run over and killed.
1t was only q few weeks ago I
was standing at a street car station
on Pennsylvania avenue near
Twelfth street with my wife ana
daughter about O'Clock In the
evening. when we saw an automo-
bile deliberately knock down ana
run over a man who who was at
tempting 10 cross the avenue This
man was dragged under. the car for
distance Of sbout twenty yards.
when he was left lying in the street
with his coat pulled over his head.
Everyone thought he was dead until
the struggled TO his feet and limped
toward the sidewalk, when q crowd
gathered around him. The man
driving the automobile that ran
over this pedestrian did not stop or
slacken UP his car, but drove on
just as IL nothing had happened,
and he must have heard the man
holler when he gave that deathlike
sound when under the car.
The trafic on Sixteenth street. e.-
pecially on Sunday. is so great that
u 10 near impossible for a pedes-
trian TO cross the street without
being run over. II will compare
now with the Strand. OF London, er-
cept you can cross the Strand with
more reasonable assurance Of not
being run over. as the great pro-
cesston OF traffic on that thorough
fare does not move as rapid as ~
does on Sixteenth street.
There 10 not room for many more
automobiles in Washington nj the

virtually at the point of starva-
tion.
And the worst of II all is that
even when a little money is found.
as occurs now and then. and a dis
tribution is made. some one usually
gratis on IL and leaves very little
for the ones for whom the p!ttance
is intended. Take the Lama priests.
for instance. There are several
thousand in Pekin, and usually
they are paid by the government
through the bureau of Mongolian
and Thibetan affairs. But for
thirty months they have not re-
ceived a cent. They have haunted
the bureau night and day and sew
eral times have threatened to
strike. Yes. strike. Imagine the
priests in America refusing to pray
until paid. Then you have the
simile, even IL the Lamas are
heathens.
The other day the government
Dug up the sum of $3.50 Mex, about
s2l0 in American money. for distri-
button among the Lamas OF Pekin
through the usual bureau. The
printers OF the bureau, whose duty
il Is to print the prayers which the
Lamas use in such great numbers,
were supposed to receive l per cent
of this sum. None of the Lamss had
received any money whatsoever for
thirty months. and they COnse-
quently were utterly destitute. Had
the distribution been fair. after de-
ducting the l per cent for the print
ers. the Lamas would have received
2E coppers each. In American
value. reckoning also the exchange
value of the copper as compared
with the Yuan dollar. this meant
that they would have been awarded
cent and n mill for thirty
months work.
Craft Rampant.
But the grafters got in on the
game as usual The printers by
some means or other got their hands
on the money first. They retained
$500 for their own use and passed
$3.50 along to the priests. Follow
ing the usual custom in China. the
priests changed the dollars into cop
pers at the rate of I70 coppers to
the dollar. and the distribution was
made on a strictly pro rata basis.
The priests received one copper each
or az mills in American money
one-third OF a cent. One copper
would buy a douehball or a cup of
tea.
No wonder the Lamss forgot their
accustomed meekness and patience
and showed signs of angtS. They
stormed the bureau of Maneolian
and Thibetan affairs in a body to de-
mand the remaining Ia coppers.
They stood about for a long time.
Twilight came on. the stars came
out one by one. Then silently they
returned to their temples and went
again to their prayers. Presently
they sought their beds on an empty
stomach. 1t was no new experience
for them. But even the Lamas may
turn. Some day they may decide
that China and the Chinese are not
worth praying for. One never can
tell.
