sailles. 1t is not a reparation, and the
attempt to avoid it now Is a mere
technicallty."
Senator Underwood contended that
the claim rests with the reparation
commission, and that the only way we
can adjust 1t Is to be represented on
the commission. He agreed with the
majority leader that payment should
be pressed, and urged the passage Of a
resolution authorizing the appoint
ment Of representative Of the United
States on the commission.
Sentiment in the Senate was shown
to be unanimous in the expressions ut
tered in behalf Of pressing for pay
ment. The Senate may be divided over
the question Of appointing repre-
sentative on the commission, but there
should be no loophole left, for a techni.
cality by which payment Of this money
could be evaded. The American troops
were sent to the Rhine on the request
Of the allies, with the understanding
that Germany was to pay the expense
OF their maintenance there. This gov
ernment acted in good faith, and will

Cleanup Proclamation.

The Commissioners proclaim a

idea of what a cleanup should be is
that homes ought to be painted and re-
paired, when paint and repairs are
needed; that the outbuildings-garages
and the like-should be spruced up.

gems have such things, should be

call the attention Of many persons to
the somewhat rundown appearance Of
the home and the seedy look Of the

flower garden. One or two Of the sub
urbs have already sent up the signal
for their spring cleanup, and all the
others will be in line before the sun
comes much farther north. The sea-

A willy foe is at work. There are many
ways Of evading the law. The govern.
ment's force Is too small.
The result has been a measurable
triumph for the vets. They boast of
the ease with which the 'stuff" is still
supplied to those who have the price,
and are willing to pay prohibition
prices. Their assertion is that the law
cannot be enforced. and their conten-
ton is that a non.enforceable law
should either be modified or repealed.
This latest preparation against the
rum-runners is proof that the authori.
ties do not concede the wet assertion
and contention, but are plugging
away. and even extending their activi-
ties. They are going after the law
breakers afioat as well as ashore; and
from all accounts those afioat, II not
so numerous, are quite as Industrious
and venturesome as those ashore.

Raging a Poet Laureate.

Robert Bridges, the English poet
laureate. is again under fire for fail
ure to function. Holding, as he does.
that the amatus bloweth when and
where 1t listeth. he refused to pump
q wedding march for the marriage OF
Princess Mary to Viscount Lascelles.
Lord Tennyson set q stiff pace for
the OFFICIAL Pegasus to follow. Tenny-
son was a laureate who loved his
work and had the technic Of occa-
sional verse at his fngertips. The
pean, the epithalamium, the geneth-
liacon, the professional and the dirge
were child's play for him. He had
only to take out a classical pattern
and cut to order.
1t is unfair to compare Bridges
with Tennyson. Times have changed
in poetry. and occasional verse has
gone out Of fashion. The hallowed
imagery is no longer tolerated. Poet
Laureate Bridges knows that If he
married the sturdy elm to the clinging
vine in classic fashion, or penned
nuptial stanxas after the Spenserian
system. he might please Horatio Bot
tomley, but he would be hooted by
the whole choir Of modern poets.
The question of the hour is, Shall
Bridges get the sack or not? Poets
defend him, but business men, like
Bottomley, consider the annual butt
of sack allowed to the poet laureate

Poincare's Contention.

ed as saying that the United States
has no legal rights upon which to base
its claim for the payment Of the up
keep of the American troops on the
Rhine out of the sums which Germany
has paid into the reparations commits
sion. Secretary Of State Hughes is re-
ported as at work on identical notes to
the allied governments insisting upon
the payment, without, however, impos.
ing harsh terms as to time or INSTALL
ments.
Senator Lodge pointed out in the
Senate yesterday that the right Of the
United States to be paid has nothing
to do with the reparation commission.

France and the Treaties.

1t is the disposition of the French
government and parliament to wait
until the United States Senate has
acted on the arms conference treaties
before giving formal consideration to
those agreements, this disposition
being due chiefly to the possibility
that the Senate may amend the treaties
or ratify them with reservations which
would be amendatory in their nature.
In other words. France, having given
assent to the compacts as negotiated
at the conference, intends to avoid
final commitment until it Is assured
no other power will amend them or
! by reservations change their original
meanings.
Discussion Of the treaties in Paris
yesterday before the joint foreign at.
fairs and army and navy commissions
brings home to the United States the
fact that it cannot consult its own de-
sires alone when 1t comes to the
formulating of international agree
ments: that the interests and preju-
dices of other powers must be taken
into account as we'll as those Of Amer
lea. 1t seems to be the belief of some
senators that every treaty in every re-
spect must be just as America wants
1t, and that if other powers will not
subscribe in toto to the American view
point we ought not to make treaties
with them. If that policy were to pre-
vail there would be no occasion for
the making of treaties. The inter.
course of nations would as we'll be
governed by American mandates
The arms conference compacts, like
all other international agreements,
are the result of compromise and con-
cessions looking toward reconcilement
of conflicting national interests. 1t is
the duty of the Senate and the privi-
lege of the public to weigh the treaties
to determine whether the advantages
to America they contain outweigh
possible disadvantage. Unless the ad.
vantages do outweigh the disadvan.
tages the Senate ought not to ratify
the treaties. But that is not the test
which some opponents seem disposed
to apply. They want the treaties rati-
fed, apparently, only If it can be
demonstrated that the United States
| Is to enjoy all the advantages and
some other power suffer all the disad-
vantages. We are a great and power
full people and the rest OF the world IS
eager for our favor, but the time hard
| ly has come when self-respecting ma
tions are willing to do business with
us on the basis of "heads We win,
tails they lose."

The House and the Army.

The House yesterday listened to. two
addresses on the Army, its size and
equipment, from men entirely quail
fed to discuss the subject.
Chairman Kahn Of the committee on
military affairs advised against the
proposed slashines, and referred to
our unpreparedness at the time we
entered the world war. That venture,
only nineteen months in duration, cost
twenty-four billion dollars.
Mr.. Dallinger deplored the fact that
members of Congress seemed to be
forgetting the lessons Of the war. Il
am not looking for trouble" he added,
but insist that we must not let our
ideals for lasting and universal peace
run away with our good judgment"
The unpreparedness mentioned by
Mr.. Kahn was complete and discredita-
BILE. For the huge task in hand we
started with practically nothing; and,
spending money feverishly, we spent
II recklessly and wastefully. Our bills
were six times what they should have
been. and might have been If we had
kept ourselves, as we should have
done, measurably At for action.
Mr.. Dallinger voiced general senti-
ment, and made the proper comment.
Nobody wants trouble, but everybody
should see the advisability Of being
nreuared il trouble comes. And trou-
BILE may come. What man Of reading
and observation believes that, terrible
as the world war was, It has cured
mankind Of the fighting spirit, and
that we have nothing further to fear
in that line?

"The Prohibition Navy"

This is from a current news story:
Four of seven subchasers have been
sent to Speddens' shipyard, Canton,
near Baltimore, to be overhauled in
preparation for their new duty as part
Of the prohibition navy" The SUBJ
chasers will be part Of the fieet under
command OF Lieut.. r. L. Jack, who.
Washington reports, has been desig.
mated as admiral Of the new navy"
Baltimore has been designated re-
cruiting headquarters, One subchaser
is reported in the hands of prohibition
forces.
It is to be hoped that the prohibition
navy achieves a greater measure Of
success than as yet stands to the
credit Of the prohibition army.

Sailing of Fish for Food Is
Reduced to an Exact Science

No one knows for exactly how
many thousands Of years mankind has
been sailing down fresh fish. Such
fish formed.a staple in ancient Greek
and Phoenician households. Yet. &C.
cording to experts Of the bureau of
fisheries, we are Just beginning to
learn how to undertake this simple
process properly.
The secret Of absolute success, &C.
cording to a recent bulletin by Har-
den F. Taylor. chief technologist Of
the bureau, lies in careful handling,
thorough cleaning, using dry salt in
stead Of brine. and. above all. using
pure salt-that is. salt with less than
/ per cent Of impurity. The last IL
the most important Of item. Scien-
tific experiments undertaken by the
bureau have proved the thing beyond
the shadow Of a doubt, despite any
those who Claim that saiting fish Is
just sailing fish. and that what was
good enough for their great-great-
grandfathers is good enough for them.

but the higher the temperature the
harder 1t has been to get good re-
suits. Yet fish have been successfully
salted In an incubator room right
hero in Washington at temperature
beginning at 80 degrees and rising to
100 degrees.
The bureau Of fisheries made trial
Of the method during the herring sea-
son Of 1890 on the st. Johns river,
Fla. Heretofore the Chesapeake
bay region was supposed to mark the
southern limit for successful sailing.
Repeated efforts along this hne had
previously failed in Florida. An ex-.
perienced fish packer from Chesa-
peake bay was sent down after he
had been thoroughly instructed in the
technology in the approved method.
Results fully justified expectations.
for the prescribed methods, other
patches were put up In different ways
by using cheaper salt, leaving roes
in. etc. Without exception failure
was the result.
ITO many people it may seem that
science has contributed little or
nothing to improvement in methods
of preserving fish by salt" says Mr..
Taylor. but 1t has contributed some-
thing and is capable Of contributing

The whole thing resolves itself into
