do not want to be misunder-
stood in reference to the reduction
Of the force at the navy yard. but
IL certainly is a curious coincidence
we did not hear them protesting
against the heavy discharges in
other departments. Oh no. the cur
failing of surplus employees is Just
as essential at the navy yard as Il
was in other departments. How
could they expect to be retained in
preference to employees in other de-
partments? How can they expect
more favors than any other class
OF employees? They are aware Of
the fact there exists no appropria-
tion to continue such a large force.
They seem to think they must be
kept at work in preference TO all
other employees. How do they think
others feel that have been dis
missed from other departments?
Now another thing in reference
to canceling contracts given to pri-
vate frms-do they think that will
remedy the situation? Won't that
throw out of employment as many
men as would occur at the yard I?
1t seems that the men at the yard
want to look after their welfare
and never mind the others. The
writer has great sympathy for them
and all other government employees
that have, been dismissed. He is
one of them.

melting out punishment Quick

easily Obtainable bail bond has a
bad effect, and is an unfair dis
elimination against those not yet
found guilty who cannot obtain

Treatment of Prisoners.
To the Editor. The Washington Herald:

To the Editor. The Washington Herald:
After many years of study and
investigation of the subject of
prison and prisoners. certain prin-
ciples have been established which
must be upheld. The old practice
Of whipping prisoners of treating
them cruelty. of solitary confine-
ment, of not giving them suitable
occupation, or any occupation at
all. of not permitting them to talk,
of keeping them in stripes or with
ball and chain, or in dark cells
and dungeons, all have been tried
and have not been successful in
preventing crime. We cannot ex-
pect ideal conditions. Prisoners
are failures in life. 1t is a fact
that in many cases they are fail
ures even as criminalsj and deal
ing with failures. we cannot ex-
rect ideal results. The best physi-
clans or surgeons could not be ex.

can be cured II would be a great

The treaties. that resulted from

now being tentatively worked upon
by the navy. II Is understood. how
ever. that none OF this work would
aid the situation at the Washington
Navy Yard as the cruisers could not
come up the Potomac.
During the war the collier Jupi-
ter was converted into the airplane
carrier Langley. This necessitated
a large amount OF design. Another
interesting problem was the re-
modelling OF the old battleship

Encomiums on Hughes.

To the Editor. The Washington Herald:
The peace treaties will be ratified
by the Senate and the credit will
largely be due to Secretary Hughes.
President Harding made no mis-
take in selecting his Secretary Of
State and the three delegates to
the peace conference.
A treaty Is nothing more than
an international contract and it
requires an equity lawyer to draw
up a contract of this description
in such form as will render its in
terpretion clear.
Because Hughes is a great equity
lawyer he demonstrated to the as
sembled delegates that the United
States entered the conference with
clean hands and was willing in all
things to do equity.
This made Japan's course clear.
Japan does not desire war, she de-
sires peace. In peace lies her
safety, but she must expand. And
a way will be found to provide for
her expansion without threatening
the peace Of the world.
No nation is going to coerce
China in doing anything that 10
wrong, SO long as the United
States Ia a party to the interna-
tional agreement. You can trust
Charles z. Hughes for that.

Move to Close Plants Met
By Accusation of Ex-

Whether the Fleischmann Yeast
Company plants in the various sec
tions Of the country will be closed
for alleged violations OF the Fed
eral prohibition laws will be de-
termined definitely Tuesday.
This was announced yesterday
after. Commissioner OF Internal
Revenue d. Fl. Blair conferred with
attorneys for the yeast company
and granted them a hearing, which
will be hell in the internal rev.

Will Halt Seizures.
. Until the decision is made. the
prohibition enforcement officers
will be restrained from any fur
ther seizures OF ethyl alcohol,
which the officials of the yeast
company assert Is an unavoidable
byproduct Of the yeast industry,
according to orders issued by Com
missioner Blair. yesterday
Although none of the government
officials concerned or the attorneys
for the company would make u
statement on the matter, 1t is un-
derstood that the hearing next
Tuesday will be to investigate
charges maQe Dy Officials Oh tSc
yeast company that eight attempts
had been made by prohibition offi-
cials to extort money and that the
revocation of the alcohol .permits
followed the refusal to pay these
demands.

The Fleischmann Company pro-
duces so to 80. per cent OF the
yeast consumed In the country, and
unless the company is permitted
to operate, the nations bread sup
ply will be endangered, say COM
pany officials. II the company is
prohibited from the making of
ethyl alcohol, the making OF yeast
is impossible. the officials of the
company claim, for the making of
yeast necessitates the making of
alcohol.
The F1eischmann plant at Lang
don. ID. c., has not been affected
thus far, according to officials of
the plant. However. should the
decision resulting from the hearing
sustain charges OF the alleged pro-
hibition violations, all OF the plants
would be seized by the government.
