It would have hsen necessary in that
sudden strsssstos provide ADDITIONAL
quarters. to rentsthefns Tor to pat them
up hastily out Of easily assembled ma
terials. BIT as q fact, when the war
came the government: was very far
from being equipped with its own out
fit. so that its rent 4oll. already large.
was greatly increased.
Representative Langley's proposal
is to adopt q comprehensive building
program. Common sense dictates that
no other plan should be followed, but
that every new government building
should be designed and placed with
reference to harmonious scheme.
Haphazard locations may be as ex-
pensive as bad construction. But the
adoption Of the program and the pro-
vision Of funds for its execution should
not wait on the settlement Of disputes
over sites or designs. What is needed
Is q broad authorization for build
ing commission empowered to proceed
at once to act continuously without
further specific legislative authority,
with assurance Of unfailing funds, to
erect the buildings that the govern
ment really requires for a businesslike,
decent and truly economical transac-
ton Of its affairs.

Movies in Tibet.

A dispatch from London, printed in
The Star the other day. illustrates the
rapidity and completeness with which
old barriers have been broken down
and old prejudices removed. A British
Buddhist mission Is now on Its way
into Tibet for the purpose Of opening
that country to certain modern ideas.
A large stock Of motion picture ma
terial is being taken by the expedition,
both to show the Tibetans the wonders
of the cinema and to obtain movies OF
scenes in the forbidden land.
Just a few years ego intrepid ex-
plorers were trying to make their way
into Tibet. One after another they
climbed the Himalayas and sought en-
trance beyond the great rock wall be-
hind which the lamas held their people
in rigid seclusion. Only from the south
was it possible to make such an en-
trance, although on the north the
country was physically open. The
great Cobb desert, however. was as ef-
fective a blockade as Mount Everest
and its companions Of the greatest
barrier in the world. A few Of these
trespassers got through. some Of them
returning to tell tales Of terrible hard
ships. From others nothing was ever
heard again. Then an expedition, mill
tary in character, but bearing mes
saees Of peace, went across the hills
and penetrated Lhasa. The Dalai
lama fed northward, but a treaty was
made and Tibet was effectually opened
to commerce and to occasional travel
Still Tibet has remained q land Of
mystery: Now it is proposed to tempt
the Tibetans with motion pictures.
They are a simple people. not nearly
as truculent as the lamas would have
them appear. It is probable that they
will be vastly amused by the movies:
II 50 we may expect to see Tibet on
the "silver screen" in q few months.

hitherto been witnessed by only few

a quarter Of the motor drivers in this
city know all the stops. Strangers can
not be expected to know any OF them'

Skip stops are being abandoned in
other cities because they no longer

Bavaria Shuts the Door.

Official announcement has been
made at Munich that owing to eco
nomic conditions the government of
Bavaria will henceforth permit no
more tourists to visit or sojourn in
that country, and that permits will be
granted only those who have valid rea-
sons for such visits, and these will be
issued for only limited periods. For
eigners who buy in excessive quanti-
ties articles Of daily need or who
otherwise prove themselves objection
able" will be expelled.
This, taken on its face. shows an
economic stringency in Bavaria that
is surprising even to those who real
ize the serious stress Of conditions
throughout Germany. 1t is plain that
Bavaria needs supplies more than the
cash Of viBitors, which ought to be
most welcome there. But .is It, In
truth, wholly an economic measure?
The suggestion Immediately arises
that possibly this order has a political
Bavaria. it is well known, is the
center Of: the monarchical movement
in Germany. So far as known there is
no. "putsch" in contemplation. At
present the reaction is against the
in consequence OF the
murder OF Rathenau; which set back
the restoration project seriously. But
one never knows what may be brew
ing. The expulsion Of foreigners from
Bavaria may very. possibly have a
meaning in this connection.
It would surely seem that the cash
of visitors would be highly welcomed
in Bavaria as In any,other part Of Ger
many. Practically all those who enter
the country have money to spend. II
1t is only: q question OF their buying
too much the. Bavarian government
could certainly exercise supervision
and restraint. Most Of those who visit

ton, where the supply Of daily -neces.
sities-is in the control Of those directly
under government supervision. Thus
It Is evident that either the economic
situation lis even worse than 1T his
appeared to be heretofore, or. that
something Is d6ing Of q political char.
acter, and Bavaria is taking precau-
tions to keep out all ''undesirabres" as

Feeding the Multitude.

One Of the local Shriners has been
computing the commissary supplies
that will be required to feed the
visitors on the occasion Of the big con-
vention Of that order here next June.
These are the figures: 100000 loaves
Of bread. COZ, 600 pounds Of meat, 300,-
900 fishes, 100000 chickens, 2,400 900
eggs, 900, 900 pounds Of butter. 1,200,-
900 cigars, 100000 pounds Of fruit,
10000 quarts Of coffee, 100000 pounds
of candy. Moreover. 100000 gallons
Of gasoline will be needed.
Study of those figures indicates the
size Of the job that any city under
takes when 1t asks a big national Or
ganization to visit it for its meeting.
The estimated attendance at the
Shriners~ convention next June is
300, 900, or $4,000. more than attended
the San Francisco meeting. This
larger attendance is based on the fact
that fully 70 per cent Of the member
ship Of the order lives east Of the Mis-
sissippi. and Washington Is therefore
nearer for a greater number than was
San, Francisco.
If the work of feeding the great
Shrine army in June fell upon one or
ganization it would be an immense
task. But as a matter Of fact 1t will
be done by hundreds Of agencies. all
well organized. Washington is near
the sources of supply. and when a
quarter of a million people or more
come here for an inauguration or a
convention it simply means that new
orders for supplies are increased in
proportion to the expected attendance.
Washington has entertained great
numbers often in the past, and as far
as the provisioning Of the 100000
Shriners Is concerned it will have no
difficulty. There may be some trouble
on the score of housing, but that Is
being now studied out carefully. and
without question in good season &C.
commodations will be provided for
everybody, in hotels, in homes, in rail;
road cars and possibly on steamboats,
moored in the harbor..
Those who are in charge OF the local
arrangements are moving with wise
foresight to make all the provisions
possible In advance. They are organ
izing their committees covering every
possible feature Of the work. Those
comprising these committees have In
many cases had abundance Of expert
ence, for Washington has played host
often in the past.

~EcRETARY HOOVER is urging

A Public Building Plan.

Representative Langley, chairman
of the House committee on public
buildings and grounds, and ranking
member Of the public buildings COM
mission. announces that at the next
session Of Congress, though a short
one, he will seek the enactment of a
bill providing for a truly economic
housing Of the governments bureaus
and departments. Such an economic
housing, Mr. Langley holds. Is only
possible through the construction Of
government-owned buildings, per-
manent, suitably placed and designed
to accord with the character Of the
capital.
In the matter Of its housing accom-
modations the government has lived
from band to mouth for many years,

In the course Of the last half!cen-

as was required for all the structures

1t has th1s spent IN rents enough to
put up all the buildings that are es.

Definitions Wanted.

A good deal is being said in political
circles about reactionaries and pro-
gressives. Are not definitions in order?
Who are the reactionaries? Who Of
any consequence are proposing a re-
turn To old conditions? Who does not
know that those conditions have passed
and cannot be restored? Who with
office or for seat among unofficial
party advisers are in darkness or
doubt about the fact that the war
produced far-reaching changes in
many things, and that American af.
fairs must be adjusted to meet the re-
quirements Of new world?
Such being the case, are not all OF
us necessarily progressives? We can
not go backward. We cannot stand
still. Hence, we must go forward. 1t
is something inescapable.
Does not the question. therefore, re-
late to the direction and the speed of
our movement? May it not be put in
this form: Whittier? and how fast?
We are going forward, and at some.
speed. We cannot do otherwise. We
are one Of the great nations, and
should. and may, with good manage
ment, become the greatest of all.
So; that let us debate those two
ropositions-whither? and how fast?
and not waste our breath or spoil
white paper debating the undesired
and the impossible.
We made progress-good progress
before the war. AS matter of fact,
there has never in our history been a
really standpat period. We have al
ways kept on keeping on-had to do
it because Of our size and our place in
a world Of movement. And progress is
as imperative now as at any former
time

A Lost Leader.

Interest In politics manifested with
in the past year by George B. Nc
Clellan has led to more than one sug-
gestion that he might be meditating
q return to political life. Maybe Mr..
Murphy would put him up; as Mr..
Croker in his day used to do. for seat
in the House. How about this year2
Not this year. The Tammany nom-
nations for Congress were announced
last week, and Mr.. McClellan's name
was not on the list.
High hopes centered in this man
when he was first introduced on Capt.
tol Hill. He had but recently left col
lege; was bright and ambitious: bore a
distinguished name and bore It well.
Why not in time the governorship of
New York, and then, in further time.
the presidency of the United states?. :.
Something slipped. Mr.. Mcclellan
did not get further than the raayornlty
Of Greater New York. He and Mr..
Murphy did not hit It of we'll together,
and he stalled in that offics.
The present would appear to be q
good time for man Of Mr.. McClel.
lan's caliber and experience to take q
hand In New York. The democracy Of
the state is greatly reduced in the
matter of leadership. Clsvslahtis,
Hills. Whitneys. Lannon'S. Flowers
are not in action. OF even on the hori-
zon. At Syracuse this week candi-
date for governor IL to be nominated.
and but two names are untinr serious
discussion in connection With the
honor Of carrying the party's banner
in the campaign.
Mr.. Mcclellan is no longer q youth,
and yet is as far from being an old man.
In years and strength he would fully
meet the requirements Of leadership.
But it may be that politics, and par
ticularly the strenuous New York
brand, no longer appeals to him. He
IL q man Of scholarly tastes and at
tainments, has several books to. his
credit, and has done something of note
as a teacher in the field Of education.
And, as he is "snisly fixed" as re.
spects finances, he can ohoose his en-
ployment. =
