Lloyd George at Genoa.

NAILY Developments at the Genoa conference
L. increase the radiance of the halo which en-
circles the massive brow of David Lloyd George,
prime minister of Great Britain.
Within the past week the little Welshman has
reached his highest achievements in world states
manship. Even his enemies must admit the service
he seeks to do for mankind
.- His progress from opportunst politician to
the broad-minded, progressive peacemaker whose
diplomacy has prevented rupture between the hate
filled nations of Europe cannot fail to excite ad-
miration.
Mr.. Lloyd George most certainly believes in the
cause he represents at Genoa. He sees the oppor-
tunity to realize his visions of restored .and happy
Europe. But the difficulties Il bis way are great.
French delegates at the confidence have, it seems,
been self-seeking. bigoted and pugnacious The
Russian ENJOYS have been extravagant and unyeld-
ing The Germans have been backward and fearful.
At times it has seemed as if it was impossible
to avoid break. The nations were not at Genoa
in the interests of Europe whole, but to press
their own selfish ends. Success would mean even
greater difficulties in the future
But Lloyd George never has lost his clear vision.
BY admirable diplomacy he has avoided each break.
He has steered the conference clear of the results
to be expected from the arrogance of both the
French and the Russians
1t becomes increasingly clear, day by day, that if
anything is accomplished for the future of the world
at Genoa the peoples will owe their good fortune
to this man.

Race Co-Operation.

To the Editor. The Washington Herald:
The feeling between the white
and colored races in Washington Is
growing less cordial and more an
tagonistic every day. This Is
largely due to the lack Of helpful
contact between the white and COL
ored people here. We fear or sus-
pect that We do not know. The
races In this city have no true un-
Outstanding of each others aspira-
tions and difficulties and on that
account they have little or no SYM
pathy and esteem one for the other.
The interests and destiny Of both
races are the same. One set of
people cannot rise or fall without
lifting up or dragging down the
other. Each race must work for
the good of all IL they would avoid
race hatred and race riots. We
cannot long have peace and good
will in a community where one set
of citizens suspect and hate the
other set.
There occurs frequently in the
daily papers, in speeches. in Con-
gress and in addresses before pub
lie gatherings much that inf1ames
hatred between the white and the
black peoples of the District of
Columbia. Those who make these
speeches seem not to know that
they are adding fuel to the flames
and that they are neither helping
the white people or the colored
people OF Washington. The colored
people are here to stay just as are
the white people. Both have a
right to live in the Capital IL they
behave themselves and do their
part as citizens to make this the
greatest capital in the world. but
neither white people nor black peo-
pie have a right to arouse dormant
evil passions or 10 set one race
against the other. There is too
much at stake here for any foolish
action on the part of anyone.

to save the world. Armenia is being martyred for
her faith. Her fields are barren and blasted Her
people are in slavery or are homeless wanderers.
Her children are old in sorrow; they are the only
children in the world perhaps, who never have
laughed.
Owing to a IS per cent reduction in appropriz-
tons the Near East Relief will be forced to abandon
$4,000 of them within the next few weeks, unless
money is secured in the meantime to keep up the
work for another year. These are not the children
,of the orphanases but the children Of the breadnes,
who will join the ranks of the thousands of children
in scanty rags who are seen begging bread Or wan
derng in the roads searching for refuse unless they
get help
: According to the Near East Relief it requires
only $50 year to save one life. 1t seems impos-
sible to think that any human being should be al
lowed to die for such a sum.

A CruciGed PEOPLE.

INTO black clouds ghosty cruciix rises from
the summit of Mount Ararat
living skeleton. scourged and stripped of gar
ments, hangs from the arms. Bloody sweat of
agony covers the victims face
Around the foot of the cross group of hor-
ribe. symbolic figures dance in fantastic glee and
shout ribald mockery. There i. Famine with parch-
ment face sunken between the cheekbones and bol
low eyes from which CLEANS diabolical hatred of
humanity. There is War; wearing crown of
squirming, spotted snakes. There is Bigotry the
blind woman, with black mask over her features
There is the livid, green body of Pestilence
They carry long, sharp spears in their hands to
torment the person nailed to the cross They make
revolving gestures in imitation of the agonized death
struggle of their victim.
The one crucihed represents Christian people
Such is the symbolic picture of Armenia-sick, cold
hungry, suffering tormented-gveh BY the Near
East Relief
To the people of the United States appeal has
been made to drive away the disgusting rabble at
the foot of the cross, to take down the poor BODY
gently, to cleanse and heal the. wounds
America in the past has responded. generously
to the call Of Armenia Since the start of the great
war her condition has been heart-rending and it
steadily has grown Crops houses villages
were destroyed. Thousands in groups were mas
sacred and the bodies left to rot in the fields When
peace came to the rest of the world it passed by
these unfortunate people. peculiar combination
of seihshness in international politics prevented the
nations of Europe from extending substantial help
to Armenia.
Thus, for almost eight years, the cruci6xion of
the people has continued. 1t is reaching a climax
in. pestilenee and hunger. 1T is only to America
that the great, pleading brown eyes are turned
only from America that help is expected.
Only the spirit of pity and sacrifice that came
into the world after Calvary save Armenia and
its people trom martyrdom and DEATH Christ died

The real estate interests had every
opportunity to advance any argu-
ment they thought At and they
should not keep mum.
As far as right OF contract 10
concerned leases are signed these
days under duress. Tenants are
deprived OF their free will and the
leases are rather questionable con-
tracts. Incidentally. there were no,
so many leases signed last October
landlords preferring to wait until
after May %. For this warning
the tenants should feel deeply
grateful.
The landlords have been on pro-
baton for the last year-they have
shown themselves as bad. IL not
worse. than they were before-we
have howled about prohteerins
during the war when IL could not
be restrained-rent gougins can be

lieves Congress IS going to con-

"yASHINGTON today extends its annual well
w come the Daughters of the American
Revolution.
1t is more than a social occasion when these
distinguished women gather at the National Capital
They come together with definite programs for re-
lief of the counrys ills and for continued progress
They cali to minds for few days the gories
of years that past and inspire renewed efforts
for the years that to come.
The members of this society have especial
interest in the welfare of the nation. They have
almost proprietary right in its greatness. They
represent, in every State, that element which is
progressive without being radical which looks to
the future of the country with hope based upon the
experiences of remarkable past.
The conduct of the society has been regulated
carefully to prevent its becoming a nucleus for
American ,aristocracy. Wealth or social position
never have been allowed to become qualifications
for mbership In its welfare work it has received
aliens with open arms and sought to teach them the
fundamentals of American citizenship. 1t has looked
toward the interest of the widows and orphans. II
has done much constructive work IN the education
of boys and girls.
In fact the record of the society is spotless Of
all people, its members most welcome at the
National Capital. Not only do they bring new in
spiration. They themselves have a splendid oRbor-
tunty to strengthen their ideals for renewed serv

Easter:

THE people of the United States realize that the

season.
This is demonstrated by the crowds of visitors
from all States who have thronged the streets dur
ing the past few days.

SAYS u. S. METHODS
AID GREEK FARMS

How American methods taught to
Balkan school boys multiplied the
WELD of farms around Saloniki,
Greece, is told by Charles L. House,
assistant principal Of the Thessa-
lonica Agricultural and Industrial
Institute three miles from Saloniki.
Mr.. House returned to America re-
Gently to render report to trus-
tees Of the school in New York
and will return to Greece in the
summer.
Defining American methods In
this instance as the constructive
spirit behind Abraham Lincoln's
words. wherever I saw thistle,

wherever I thought flower would
grow" Mr.. House said:
"A practical attempt to introduce

was purchased about three miles
south of Salcniki, then in Turkey.
now in Greece. A missionary gath
cred the boys from the country to
labor with him and literary plucked
the thistle and planted the flower.
when a need was felt an effort
was made TO meet it, with the re-
suit that today this school has
grown and demonstrated how to
grow forty-fve bushels of corn
where ten had satisfied. 1t has also
demonstrated that the wild Ameri-
can grape. when grated, will yield
as many and as good grapes as the
beautiful vineyards of Greece
yielded before the phloxeia doomed
them, and that fruit trees and. live
stock will respond to an effort to
build up.
Thus by practical demonstration
and the labor of their own hands
and minds in overcoming the prob
lens involved in getting the results
the boys of that land are getting
the constructive spirit in agricul-.
ture and other rural enterprises
which we like to call American.
The process is slow and will not
meet present emergencies, but e
will prevent some future ones"
1.-The production of American
methods Of agriculture into various
regions where American relief
agencies and missionary societies
have been working has been stimu-
lated by the demand for some
method of meeting emergencies
created by the war. A number of
efforts were made, and probably
for, the most port with Indifferent
success. for American methods un-
der American conditions and carried
out by Americans cannot be sup
