RECENT UNREST IN
 ARMENIA SUBS|DED
Red Army of Soviet Russia Has
 Situation We'll in Hand

Baum. Armen nia. May 1s.-The un- rest which fololwed the annexation of Georgia, Azerbaijan and Armenia to Russia has subsided and the Red army of Soviet Russia has the situa- ton well at hand. The principal event of importance in Batun1, at the moment, is the mobilization of all the male population between the ages of 16 and q without distinction of race or religion.
 The Cheka (Chereswechaika) has not been suppressed at Batum. On the contrary. it's activities have in- creased, There is a vast espionage or ganzaton in the town.
 Especially notorious are all wom- en members. nearly all of whom are of good family speaking French and English They are all demi- mon- daines and their methods are to dress well and spend money with both hands. The espionage institutions pay them extremely well and they have orders to scrape acquaintance with all kinds of persons whose sym pathy with Bolshevism is doubted, to whom they pose as innocent victims of the Bolshevik regime. The con- versations turn on politics, the vic tim expresses his dislike of the Soviets and their methods. arrest follows the next day and, if the unfortunate in dividual is a Russian or Georgian, he Is promptly shot-if a foreigner he is sent to Moscow for trial.
 Armies Disbanded.
 The army in the Caucasus area is almost entirely composed of Russians. The armies of the Caucasus democra- cies have all been disbanded and their officers exiled to Russia for training in the Soviet military schools. Fetes and parades are organized frequent ly in order to keep up the morale of the army and the popultion. Ranks are suppressed. Officers are known as regimental or company commanders.
 Commerce is free, but there is lack of foreign currencies and therefore trade is almost at a standstill. Ex- ports are limited to carpets, furs kero- sene and manganese. Imports con- sist solely of flour and sugar The ex- port of manganese from Poto is in the hands of an institution called the "Chemo," which is managed by a Dutch company from the Hague. There are stocks of manganese which existed before the war but when these are exhausted export will cease.
 The production of oil, is in the hands of a committee called the "Neftecom," the president of which is Gamaroff. The export of kerosine is in the hands of the ''Vneshtorg," which sells oil against goods.
 Although travelling is free it is ex- tremey difficult for the public to ob- tain seats as two-thirds of the avail able accomm odation on the trains is taken up by government officials. Be sides trains are exposed to attacks of brigands who rob the passengers of all they possess

Time for Rejuvenation.

THE annual report of the District building in
i spector only emphasizes afresh the outworn
condition of the machinery of local government in
the Capital OF the United States Twenty years
ago it was efficient enough There were plenty of
inspectors to attend to all necessary work and they
received reasonable salaries Since then the amount
of work has increased 200 per centA-but almost no
extra provisions have been made. Spurred by the
Knickerbockcr disaster last winter, Congress, it is
true, did authorize expenditure for temporary
increases in personnel. These, however. were in
adequate. 1t is humanity impossible look
new structures today they should be looked
before they pronounced safe for human
cupaney. The District is in the midst OF the
greatest building boom in history. There
signs OF an immediate let-up in this activity.
Thousands of new houses have been erected and
thousands more in prospect. These cannot be
inspected properly without an adequate personnel
They. will be inspected, of course. The law de-
mands official approval But what will the inspcc-
ton unless the engineer who does the
work has enough time to search for possible de-
fects and poor material.
A surface inspection means less than nothing.
Defects not apt to be displayed so openly that
they be casual glance. The
unscrupulous contractor would take greater pre-
cautions. The cheap work, if it existed. would be
hidden where its presence could be determined only
by expert with plenty of time to examine the
entire structure. If defects were so open that an
amateur could notice them there would be little
need of official inspection. The owner himself
the purchaser would demand that they be fixed.
The Knickerbocker crash, OF course, was an
outstanding example OF the importance of thorough
inspection Had proper precautions been taken
when the theater erected there would have
been no tragedy But the defects which resulted
in the cave-in such that the ordinary
citizen could detect them. Only trained engi-
familiar with structural work qualified to
call them to the attention Of the contractor and
demand that proper changes be made.
But the building inspectors Office is asked to
maintain corps of trained engineers sufficient to
attend the new building now in progress on
about the same appropriation that which proved
sufficient twenty years ago. How can it be done?
Here is mathematical puzzle which will battle
officials OF the Bureau of the Budget The
ordinary citizen cannot find solution. He will
throw up his hands in despair after wrestling with
the question for time and demand more money,
engineers and more assistants.

Making the Streets Safe.

A RRESTS for automobile speeding increased
~ more than 20 per cent during September
the previous MONTH according to the police
report. This, Of course, may be good a bad
sign. 1t may that the police
ergetic in curbing these awbrcakers; it may
mean that they themselves actually the in
We hesitate believe that the latter is
true.
The District OF Columbia has far too many
speeders at any time. There probably are more
offenders in this respect in Washington than in
any other city in the United States. The streets
here better adapted to fast driving. Outside
the central business section few Of them are badly
crowded. They are wide and, in some respects.
reasonably smooth. Consequently it is difficult to
resist the temptation to step the gas when
cason offers.
But the danger OF speeding cannot be overes-
timated The best driver cannot keep his
der perfect control when moving at breakneck
pace. He renders the thoroughfare more unsafe
for conservative drivers than for himself. If the
police have increased their efforts to capture speed
the September report shows excellent progress.
The reckless driver of course, always will be
with us. 1t is generally admitted, believe that
the speed of automobile cannot be closely regu-
lated. The difference between twenty and twenty
five miles hour is hardly noticeable. Various
sorts of speed traps have proved an almost un-
mltlSdteQ nuisance Wherever tncy nave been tried.
Efforts the part of police enforce a rigid
speed restriction never have been popular with the
public and, in most States, have been suspended
for number of years.
1t is matter for the good Judgment of the
individual policeman 1t is not difficult to tell
when is driving reckessly. 1t is not diff
cult to decide when is being driven so speedily
that it cannot be kept under control These ques-
tions the traffic officer and the man on the beat
must decide for himself. But where there is any
room for doubt the decision should be against the
speeder If he is stopped serious accidents to
other drivers to pedestrians may be prevented.
We have found the average Washington driver
reasonably careful. But there are plenty of ex-
ceptons-proessional drivers in many cases There
