operations. Both Marshals Joffre and
Foch, successive generalissimos. came
to esteem him greatly.
The promoters Of American partici-
patton in the war found in M. Berthe
lot one of the most ardent and con-
fident coworkers. Together with NJ
BRAND he followed with interest and
hope the exchanges OF notes and
other negotiations with the Washing
ton government which preceded the
entry of the United States.
NJ. Berthelot has the distinction, al
most certainly unique among dip
lomats. OF having taken part in all
the interallied conferences and all the
successive negotiations for war and
for peace since 1914. Should he some
day decide to publish his memoirs

abound in the most curious revela-

Reorganizing in ireland.

The prospect Of a peaceful accept.
ance Of the new regime in Ireland is
frightened by the final action Of the
dali eireann yesterday on the eve Of
the adjournment until February IA. A
new cabinet, headed by Arthur Griffith
as president Of the dali. was elected.
De Valera left the assembly, followed
by his adherents. last-ditch advocates
Of q republic with full independence.
but later they returned, and when ad.
journment was had the parliamentary
ranks were unbroken. In the five
weeks of recess it is probable that
the disposition Of the Irish people to
accept the new organization will be so
plainly manifested that the radical
element will not venture to vote in a
persistent effort to set up republic
in defiance Of the now ratified treaty.
There is no occasion for wonder at
the manifestations Of extremism which
have marked the proceedings at Dub
lin recently. The fight for complete
separation has been q persistent and
bitter one. The ideal Of a wholly free
Ireland has been ardently held for
generations. 1t is hard to yield. The
treaty Of London offers a substantial
measure of independence. as great, in
deed. as that enjoyed by the people Of
Canada and those Of Australia. The
rational view has been taken by the
majority of the dali. representative Of
the people. The dali was elected in
conditions when it might be regarded
as expressive of south Ireland's wish
to be wholly free and separate from
England. If that body indorses the
treaty with its plan for free state on
a dominion basis it must follow that a
new parliament chosen under the
terms Of the treaty as part Of the ad-
ministrative government Of. Ireland
will even more strongly support this
new plan. which carries with it the
possibility of a more prosperous and
happy Ireland than history has ever
known before.

crossings has become an appalling toll.
No part Of the country is now i'm
mune. Train schedules and foad use
have increased. The chances Of a col.
lision are multiplying. There is no
place in the country that can be called
safe.
Right outside Of Washington is one
OF the most dangerous of grade cross
ings. at Hyattsville. where the Balti-
more boulevard crosses the Baltimore
and Ohio track at an angle, and in
such conditions that it 10 difficult for
any road user to see whether train
is approaching. There are so-called
safety gates at this crossing. but, as
with all other such devices. they are
dependent upon human agency for
efficiency. And even when they are
operated promptly and in good season
and when they are visible as barriers
at night as well as by day. it is still
possible for recklessly operated mo.
tor. or for one temporarily out Of con-
troll. to break through them and reach
the tracks and perhaps meet a train
there.
All such devices as gates and flag
men and bells are only makeshifts
worth only so much as in the degree
that they are needed. 1t should be
physically impossible to get on the
tracks. Each state. especially those
with close population and frequented
roads. should proceed without waiting
for the federal government to compel
the abolition Of all these death traps
by the substitution Of undercuts and
overpasses. This is more important
than the development Of the highway

gerous rather than helps if they are
frequently intersected with tracks at

Keen the Dome Lighted!

AS feature of the official ilIumina-
tions at the opening Of the conference
on limitation Of armament the dome Of
the Capitol was lighted by a battery Of
powerful lamps placed on the roof Of
the building. producing most artistic
and striking effect. This has been con-
tinued during the conference, and 1t is
understood it will remain until the
final adjournment. The question arises
why this should not be a permanent
feature. The cost cannot be very
great, merely that for the current
necessary to maintain the lamps and
the occasional renewal Of the lamps
themselves. Whatever the cost, how
ever, the government would be justi-
fled in maintaining this remarkable
spectacle.
The dome Of the Capitol is recog.
nized as one Of the most beautiful OF
all architectural creations. 1t has
been pronounced the most perfect
dome in the world. In conjunction
with the building it forms an inspir.
ing feature of the capital landscape.
Seen from a distance it means Wash
ington, just as the dome Of st. Peters
means Rome, or the dome of st. Paul's
means London. or the dome Of the
Pantheon means Paris. But 1t Is su-
perior to all Of these in size and nobil-
ity Of line.
AS the dome means Washington.
and Washington means the American
republic, it should be always visible
by night as we'll as by day. 1t should
never be out Of sight. This special IL

Ec8, Motor, Train-Death!

four children and the serious injury Of

It must inevitably result in the defeat
Of the republicans next November,

The President is doing all he can to

ences he IL holding with senators and
representatives and with party leaders
outside Of Congress are substantial
contributions toward harmony.
But the President alone cannot
remedy the matter. He must have
assistance. He must be met at least
half way by those who are in COM

on the way to prosperity again. It is
