Viteorio Veneto. and is given credit
for a great share in turning back the
enemy in defeat after their previous
successes.
Frederick Rudolph Lambart. the
tenth Earl of Cavan. the present hold
er of the title that was created in
1647. is the descendent of long line
of illustriouS mobiles. He might have
spent his entire life engrossed in
hunting and fishing and golf and rid
hamstead. Of which sports he is eX-
tremely fond. had he not been a born
soldier. After graduating from Eton
and Sandhurst, he Joined the Grena-
dier Guards in 1885. when he was
twenty He served as aide
to Lord Stanley. governor general of
Canada, and later distinguished him
self in the South African war as a
captain.
Lord Cavan was one of the men
whose brilliance and true worth were
brought out in the world war. 1t was
his opportunity. In every engagement
he proved himself a most capable Off
Ger and his rapid rise was well earned.
In 1914 he was sent to france as
brigadier general to command the
4th Guards Brigade. The next year he
was a major general and two years
later he was promoted to lieutenant
general. Just before sailing for Amer
lea for the conference the rank OF
general was given MIN. Inc beginning
Of this meteoric rise Lord Cavan cred
its to one incident that happened dur
ing the first battle of Ypres. During
the fighting the general in command
of the brigade to his right was wound
ed. and he was ordered to command
both brigades. When he went to sur
vey his new command he found the
forces badly broken up. their morale
shaken, steadily falling back and fac
ing a disastrous retreat. Without say
ing a word he quietly took his place
on a slight eminence. unsheltered from
fire. looked up and down the lines,
casually took cigar from his pocket,
lighted it and puffed slowly. as though
nothing were happening. The men
saw him. were infected by his spirit,
rallied. pushed forward and turned
defeat into victory. Lord Cavan teiis
this story modestly and speaks of it
as "bit of luck and a happy inspira-
ton" AS a matter of fact. it was
piece Of GOODNESS and bravery that
cisive battles of the war.

The "Wolf" Cry for Tags.

For some time before the lst of
January frequent warnings were is
sued from the District building that all
motorists who failed to have new tags
for their machines by the morning Of
the new year would be liable to arrest
and penalty. Motor owners were urged
repeatedly to avoid this unpleasant
ness by applying for and securing
their 1922 tags in season, and conse-
quently there was a heavy rush at the
license Office for some days prior to
the first Of the year. and when New
Year dawned more than $4,000 tags
had been issued. Yet it was then an
nounced that few days Of grace
would be granted those who had not
obtained the new licenses. and that ar
rests would not occur Immediately.
This has caused feeling that the ad-
monitions Of the District government
against delay, with the possibility OF
fines following failure, were meaning
less and not altogether in good faith.
Such a procedure is calculated to les
sen the effect of the warnings at the
close of this new year when the 1928
tags are ready for issuance. If next
January arrests begin promptly with
the, new year there will be some ground
for complaint on the score Of the prec-
edent set this year. BY far the best
way is to apply the law as it reeds. to
grant no days of grace unless the law
provides for them. to put everybody
on the same basis. to announce the
time limit and to give warning of the
penalties for failure. Surely then
there will be no occasion for criticism.
Those who went to the District build
ing during the last days Of 1921 and
stood In line for hours waiting to get
their tags have a reason to feel ag-
grieved in observing the comparative
ly easy experience Of the tardy ones
who, at their leisure and without dis
comfort, got their licenses without
penalties after the legal limit had
passed.

Grade Crossings.

The bureau of public roads Of the
Department Of Agriculture has an
nounced that bridges and underpasses
will replace grade crossings wherever
possible on all roads Of the federal aid
highway system to be constructed un-
der the federal highway act. The
policy has the Endorsement Of the
American Association Of State High
way Officials. and is receiving the ap-
provai Of state and railroad officials.
1t is announced.
This is an important step forward.
In the three years ended with 1890,
according to records available to the
bureau. 1856 lives were lost and more
than 10000 persons were injured at
grade crossings in the United States.
This is an astounding total. when 1t Is
considered that trains must run along
tracks, and could not possibly run
over people unless they put them
selves upon the comparatively narrow
space occupied by the rails.
Yet day after day the papers record
the killing Of people at grade cross
ings. Within recent years the
slaughter Of automobilists at such
death traps has been large. A father

School Fraternities.

Supt. Ballou takes a strong and
sound position in respect to the school
fraternities in his statement issued
yesterday to the local chapters under
the recent ruling Of the board Of edu-
cation. He notes that there are two
ways open to the fraternities and So
rorities that desire the approval Of the
public school authorities. The first is
complete withdrawal Of all local chap
ters from affiliation with national or.
ganizations and their entire adaptation
to the rules Of the board and their
supervision by the school authorities.
The other Is the reorganization Of the
national bodies themselves until both
they and their chapters meet with the
approval Of the school authorities
wherever they exist.
This question Of the school secret so
cieties has been troublesome for some
years. These organizations have been
demonstrated to be injurious to school
discipline. unfortunate in their effects
upon student morale and provocative
Of ill-feelings and jealousies on the
part Of the student body. Efforts by
the board Of education in the past to
effect their elimination or reformation
have been fruitless. The board has
now taken a position as expressed by
the superintendent statement that If
maintained will cure the trouble. But
it means a sharp fight, for the men,
bers of the fraternities and sororities
appear to be determined to continue
regardless Of board rules. They have
evaded regulations in the past. the
present situation resulting from that
resistance.
In view Of the crowded condition of
the high schools of this city admission
to them may be regarded as a privi-
lege. The school authorities are not
seeking students. They can make
stipulations not merely as to scholar
ship but as to discipline. and one Of
the latter requirements may be COM
plete observance Of the fraternity and
sorority rules. In other words. a place
ditioned upon perfect good faith in re-
spect to these organizations.
The whole issue in this matter is
one Of discipline. There can be no
division Of authority. Fraternity men,
bers in the public schools must recog-
nize but one set Of regulations. that of
the schools themselves. II the school
boards rules require faculty super.
vision over societies no society should
exist among the students without
such supervision, whatever may be
the rules or laws Of national fraterni.
ties.
In this issue the superintendent and
the board Of education will have the
support Of the great majority Of par
ents, who feel that the fraternity and
sorority organizations. while in a few
cases promotive Of social advantages
for the children, are in the main a
distraction from the real school work
and more harmful than beneficial.

The Senate Finance Committee

The Importance of the finance COM
mittee Of the Senate stands wen at
tested in the discussions that have
followed the death Of Mr.. Penrose.
Assignments to that body are re-
garded as prizes. The ablest men in
the chamber feel complimented by q
mention of their names in that con-
nection. Filling vacancy occasions
q good deal Of very earnest complica-
tions. and sometimes lively rivalries.
The work Of the committee. as the
committees name indicates. has to do
with business questions-taxation, the
tariff. the currency-and those best
qualified for that sort of service give
the best accounts Of themselves when
called upon to render it.
John Sherman for a long time pre-
sided over the committee. Although
educated for the bar, he early entered
politics, remained continuously in that
field, developed a taste and talent for
finance. and the lawyer disappeared in
the fnancier. He belongs in the COM
pany Of Hamilton and Gallatin and
Chase.
Nelson W. Aldrich entered politics
from the business world. and in poll
tics concerned himself principally with
business questions. As chairman Of
the Senate finance committee he dis
tinguished himself.
Boies Penrose was educated for the
bar, and practiced law for a few years,
but preferred politics, and in that field
specialized on finance and the tariff.
And Porter ]. McCumber, scheduled
to succeed Mr.. Penrose as chairman
Of the committee, is lawyer, but with
a long service In politics and a service
of some years as a member Of the COM
mittee.
