THE CLAYTON CROSSING.

Again this matter comes up in con. sidering the suggestion Of Alderman Johnson to build n new road and to block off" not eliminate the Clayton crossing.
 No one may justly denounce Mir Johnston's plan nor the plan Of the New Haven road. similar to 1t. with. out having made a thorough study of the situation and thorough in- quiry of property owners near the Clayton crossing who might be affect ed by blocking off this crossing in- stead of bridging it or adopting other mems of making it safe.
 But the great point to be empha- sized is that this city, which has made a fight for the elimination of the Clayton crossing, should be a unit as to the best plan for accomplish ing the purpose. The city's advice may be disregarded, of course. and any plan may possibly be adopted which will eliminate" the crossing. But there should be no internal dis pute carried before the public utill- ties commission, suggesting that we did not know what we wanted. and resulting in possible action by the commission that would not bring a decision approved by those most con- cerned. The commission has decided. in our favor something we sought. It is to be hoped that no division in our ranks will take from the value of that decision.

SALARIES.

Tn determining the proper salary of a city official there are three things to be considered especially. namely the amount of work the position re- auires, the character of that work. whether expert or ministerial, and the hazard in connection with it. The common council salary commit tee has recommended increase in sal aries of the Corporation Counsel, the Prosecuting Attorney and the Chief of the fire department.
 The office of Corporation Counsel requires the highest degree of expert legal knowledge. Unconsidered legal advice from this source might cost the city many thousands of dollars.

GERMANY DOESN'T RESIST

France first seized Essen, seat of the great Krupp factories; then Gel senkirchen. center of the Ruhr coal industry; it's expected still more oc- equations will follow.
 There was a hostile gathering but not much trouble at Essen. Munich also has been the scene of an anti French gathering and Bavaria gcner- ally, which is regarded as royalist. is reported excited. The Memel district, in East Prussia, is in a state of dis order, reported in some quarters to mean a desire to join the new re- public of Lithuania; in others to be anti-Frcnch.
 The German government. however, sanctioned no resistance to the French invasion, saying it sticks to the Versailles treaty. which it ac- cuses France of breaking. It re- called the German diplomatic repre- sentatives from Paris and Brussels and gave notice that all talk of pay ing war damages to France and Bel gium is off until their troops are out of Germany.

WHAT COMES NEXT?

There are plenty of signs that the French, now they're in the Ruhr hardly know what to do next
 Presumably they counted on dealing there with the great Rhincland Coal Syndicate. but this organization, just before their arrival, moved bag and baggage to Hamburg. It had to leave it's properties behind, but they must be worked to enable the French to get anything out of them and the French lack the workers good will. They might bring their own from home, but moving an entire industrial popu- lation from one country to another r. tremendous undertaking.
 The difficulties she faces may be responsible for Frances talk now of considerable extension in the time permitted Germany to meet the damage claims against her. France in the meantime retaining control in the Ruhr and eXacting certain other conditions, such as Germany's sub mission to allied supervision of her finances, to living within her income and to raising an internal loan to stabilize the mark
 But will Germany agree? That probably will depend on the multipli- cation of her own difficulties and the result of her observation of Frances.

KEEPING THE DOOR OPEN

When the French government sent troops into the Ruhr, it was inter- preted generally as a rejection of Sec retary of State Hughes proposal of an international board of financiers to decide how much Germany was able to pay.
 Maybe this was mistake. It seems the Hughes plan was laid definitely before Premier Poincare, who neither turned it down nor expressed any hostility toward it.
 Hopes arc entertained that it may be accepted yet, if the Ruhr venture proves a failure. At any rate, it is said the Washington government is keeping the door open, Q with a view to a tender of its good offices" if it receives any intimaton that it would be well received.

FRANCE ALMOST ALONE

London and Washington diSap- prove strongly of what France has done.
 It isn't that there's any sympathy at either of these capitals with Ger many They both consider that if the Germans are able to pay they ought to be compelled to do it. But they regard it as at least very doubt ful if Germany is able to do so. Just as they were hoping the world was going to settle down, with some pros- poets of a return to "normalcy. they're much dissatisfied by France s refusal to abandon policy calculated to upset everything again. Premier Bonar Law of England marked his objections to the French course by quitting the conference with the French, Italian and Belgian prem iers when he found he wasn't going to be listened to.
 It has been learned that Myron T. Herrick, United States ambassador to France, without actually protesting against the French advance into the Ruhr, did tell Premier Poincare that the Washington administration was opposed to it. Roland w. Boyden, unofficial American representative on the separations commission, likewise told the French, Italian and Belgian delegates that he didn't believe Ger many could pay Frances claims, and said he agreed with England.
 The United States too, recalled her few troops still on German soil. They didn't mean much in military way, but their recall implied protest.
 It seems even Premier Mussolini protested, through Italy voted with France on the separations commis- sion.
 Only Belgium is cooperating whole -heartedly with the French.

MERELY MATTER OF
 POLITICS

The Poincare governments position in England and America has not been strengthened by the existence Of a widely expressed suspicion in both countries that the Euhr expedition was dictated by nothing but hope of gaining political advantage at homo through what it though would be a popular move.
 Naturally it's the consensus of opinion that the worlds peace never should have been endangered for any such reason.
 Nevertheless it's felt that the gov ernment, if such was it's motive, will be likely to change it's policy very quickly if it finds it made mistake, which is what it probably will find if it can't get much out of Germany and English and American codness affects Frances own credit unfavor- ably.

France having made good her threat to try hurrying up payment oi her war claims by seizure Of Ger man territory, a state Of affairs exists in Europe which may end in any one of a good many different kinds of trouble.
 For instance, revolution in Ger many wouldn't surprise anybody. Any government which permits the coun- try it rules to be invaded by for eign powers troops is bound to be blamed. This furnishes discontented elements with chance to grab at control On one hand, the German reds" might attempt it. On the other hand, the royalists might.
 Or the Russians might think it an opportune time to try to gain some advantage.
 The little entente" consisting of new, war-formed countries in eastern Europe. is q source of uneasiness. In fact, it's understood their premiers are about to meet at Belgrade to against Hungary. [
 Italy. just on general principles, is so uneasy that Premier Mussolini has ordered partial mobilization.
 Trouble in western and central Europe, by distracting attention from the turbulent Near East, makes Tur- key very independent
 The very fact that it's impossible to tell what may happen, or where, only adds to the feeling of anxiety.
