in such a case, as warrant for deny.
ing the jurisdiction OF the formally
appointed International arbitral body,
il to fiing wide open the door to war
without check. For any affront, real
or imagined, OF a like nature may be
then seized upon as a cause for hos.
tiiities. Accusation becomes sufficient
warrant for war.
1t was to prevent just such en-
counters that the league was formed.
1t was to put an end to hasty, hot
tempered or craftily designed war
making naneuvers that this body was
established. And now. on the first oc-
casien that has arisen, the league s
jurisdiction is denied, its authority is
flouted and Italy threatens to with
draw its delegates II any move is made
toward even an investigation and at
tempt to ascertain the facts.
II this were a private quarrel the
aggressor would be rightly suspected
of having a bad case. Italy's speed of
action in avenging her "honor" sug-
gests strongly that Rome is not alto
gether confident that an impartial in
quiry would reveal Greece as responsi.
BILE for the murders In Albania. A good
case never suffers through delay in
the interest of ascertaining the truth.
The honor" of a nation was never
really harmed by the exercise of pa

six hours of night work should be
counted as equal to eight hours day
work. He also spoke for better pay.
The same plea might also justly be
made in behalf of employees in every
department of the government, and
the matter has often been brought to
the attention of Congress, with little
or no result. Some progress has been
made in the betterment OF condition
of government employees.
The retirement system. which the
employees have worked out and which
they support themselves, provides
that an employe shall not be alto
gether cut adrift when age and the in
trinity which often accompa MES 1t
come upon him. At length we shall
have more generous treatment for
men and women who have given the
major part of their lives to the gov
ernment service. The reclassification
of salaries may also be registered as
q forward step in the condition of gov
ernment employees. But the most i'm.
portant step will be taken when Con-
gress increases the pay of government
employees that their salaries shall be
brought in line with the modern cost
of living.

Loyalty Of Government Clerks.

1t was a well deserved compliment
which the president of the Civil Serv-
ice Commission paid to employees of
the postal service in an address before
the twenty-fourth annual convention
Of the United National Association Of
Post Office Clerks. In the published
accounts 1t is said that "employes in
the postal service were held up to
other civil service workers as demon.
strating the acme Of loyalty to the
government"
Government workers in all depart
ments are remarkable for loyalty and
efficiency. Sometimes the government
is harshly criticized for lack of ef-
ficiency, but such faults as there may
be In that direction lie with the sys.
tenn or government methods handed
down from other times, and no charge
Of inefficiency rests against the rank
and file of employees.
Some things were brought out by
the president Of the postal clerks as
ISOLATION of which the public may not
hitherto have known. One is the ques.
ton of night work. A large proper
portion OF postal employees carry on
while the great mass of men play and
sleep. Every hour, day and night, the
work of the postal service goes on.

Mr.. Slemp Takes Hold.

Former Representative c. Bascom
Slemp of Virginia, chosen by Presi-
dent Coolidge to be secretary to the
President of the United States, has
taken up his duties amidst the felicita-
tions of his friends, who wish him
we'll in the administration of this i'm
portant post. for it is an Office of great
importance and responsibility, involv-
ing arduous work. Its duties have in
creased immensely since the days of
John Hay. Daniel Lamont and George
b. Cortelyou. 1t is an office of dignity,
too, and requires of its occupant in
finite tact and patience as we'll as
executive ability.
Mr.. Slemp possesses qualities, to-
gether with experience in public life,
which fit him to fill the requirements
of the place. His sixteen years Of serv-
ice in the national House of Repre-
sentatives equipped him with familiar
ity with legislative methods and ac-
quaintance with senators and repre-
sentatives which should stand him in
good stead as the liaison officer be-
tween the Chief Executive and the
Congress during the coming session.
He is familiar with politics and poll
ticians, and should be of great service
to the President In relieving him of
many irksome details and standing as
a buffer between the Executive and
the crowd. Altogether, the President
has made an admirable selection.

Washington's $4,000.

Washington is assigned a quota of
$50 ,066 as its share of the American
Red Cross relief fund for the succor
OF the japanese people. A good start
has been made toward that goal al
ready through several large subscrip-
tions. The people of the Capital are
asked to contribute their dollars. and
facilities for the convenient placing
of the funds have been provided. For
example. The Star will receive and
daily acknowledge subscriptions.
Speed is essential in this work of
charity, in the face of the greatest dis
aster the world has ever known. Enor-
nous quantities of supplies are re-
quired Immediately to give aid to the
stricken nation. Vast numbers of the
people of Japan are suffering from
lack of food. The homes of millions
have been swept away and they are
without shelter. With all possible
speed ships are racing there with ma
terials. hastily gathered, and other
ships will start as soon as they can be
loaded. Credits will be extended but
the cash is essential to permit a meas
uring of the quantity of supplies that
can be dispatched.
In this great endeavor to bring the
japanese people out of the depths of
desolation and suffering into which
they have been plunged by the cata-
clysm, all who give may have the
f,,11 hot hn . tt,ax,
subscribe will go, 100 per cent, to the
provision of necessary supplies. The
American Red Cross maintains its or
ganization upon its permanent ,finan
cial foundation. There is no extraordi-
nary overhead" Of expense in con-
nection with such work as that now
in hand. If dollar is given to the
japanese relief fund it is with the full
assurance that every one of the hun
dred cents will go toward the actual
work of succor, and not one cent for
the general administration.
The American Red Cross has won
the full confidence Of the people of
this country by it's work in the past; /;
its prompt. efficient and thorough serv-
ice in time of disaster. domestic and
foreign. 1t was tower Of strength
during the great war. Since the sub
sidence of that struggle it has carried
on faithfully and with effective thor
oughness in caring for the distressed
of all lands.
This present emergency is the great.
est that the American Red Cross has
ever been called upon to face. 1t
turns to the task without the slightest
delay, and it depends upon the people
of this country for the financial sup
port necessary. That it will get the
money it estimates now to be requisite
for the immediate relief work is to be
assumed. That it will get it quickly
is to be hoped.
Now is the time to give, not tomor-
row. Let Washington's quota be
reached and passed in record time.

this meeting when some members sug-
gested the words "Ku Kloi," from the

Two Faulty Contentious.

Italy's objection to the jurisdiction
Of the league of nations in the affair
with Greece would seem to be based
upon two grounds; first, that Greece
is. in effect, an outlaw nation, not
recognized In its present form OF gov
ernment by the powers, and, second,
, that the offense committed by Greece
thereby constituting an issue that can.
not be considered by the league.
Neither contention can be granted
by the league members, who regard
that organization as the constituted
tribunal of International adjustment.
Whatever the present constitution. of
the government OF Greece in person
mel, whatever the precise status of
that government as an international
factor, Greece is a member of the
league, and Is entitled to It's protection
from aggressive injustice or hasty ac.
tion upon the basis Of charges not yet
proved or established beyond question.

present affair is one Of national
