made him almost an invalid over a long period.
 During his residence at the street house, where he went directly he had turned over the reins Of authority to Warren Harding, he has received comparatively few. visitors. Some of the distinguished men of Europe, with whom he had shared the leadership of the great years of the war. have dropped in for few minutes during visits here. He seemed to enjoy par ticularly the chats he has had in the rast few months with Clcmenceau and Lloyd George.
 Talks Over Old Times
 But he has taken an even kecner interest in talking over old times and present tendencies with that little coterie of personal friends that have remained in his confidence during the years of his confinement. First among these has been Dr. Grayson, with whom he had exchanged views almost daily on every subject that has come within his keen observation of what is taking place in the world outside.
 Another with whom he often has taken counsel was Bernard NJ. Baruch of New York. and Mr. Baruch today was the first besides the physicians to cail and personally express 10 Mrs. Wilson his hope for the former presi- dents recovery. As head of the war industries board, Mir. Baruch was one Of those among the wartime council- lors of the president in whom he ai- ways had implicit confidence: and 1t was Mir. Baruch with whom he con ferred last when he was setting forth upon hisi ll-fated trin for the peace treaty. He summoned him to his rrivate car in the Union station. had B talk with him that taded only when the train rolled ont upon its lo,eoo mile journey.

turn on the spot.
Wonders, OF course. are what the
world is filled with. Electricity is
fully as miraculous to the surface
observer as these fragmentary ac-
counts Of Flettner's rotor ship. Even
sailing ships daily accomplish the
seemingly unreasonable feat Of pro-
crossing against the wind.
The Hamburg American line is re-
ported so thoroughly sold on the
Flettncr idea that it has committed
itself to install the rotor on ten new
freighters for its Asiatic trade. The
SHINES Shipping Co. likewise is said
to plan using the rotor. The pioneer
ship of Flettner's was equipped by
the krupp concern.
The inventor previously has estab-
lished himself sufficiently in the sci
entific world for his announcements
to be taken seriously. He has per-
fccted ruddcr and nowis director
of acrodynamics ut the Institute of
Amsterdam.
One further question suggests it,
SELF from Flcttncr's experiments. If
the wind can be harnesscd by his
cylinders to drive ship, could it not
be caught on land to generate power
for any industrial purpose?

cording to the inventor. and attain
Il speed far beyond the average of

How dies it work? What makes
the ship go?
Silence is Flettner's answer to the
question. He has made long tests
on the Baltic Sea and plans voyage
to America, but he withholdS an
rouncement OF the hidden principle
which he applies.
All he reveals Is that it is Il de-
vclopment of the Magnus Law. a
principle of physics discovered in
Germany more than half Il century
ago. This law asserts that cylin-
der revolving in "A current of air will

Senator Johnson's Withdrawal.

Senator Hiram w. Johnson Of Cali
fornia, in notifying the delegates who
have been instructed for him in the
Republican national convention that
he releases them from their obliga-
ton, virtually indicates that his name
will not be presented to the conven-
tion as a candidate for the presidential
nomination. In political circles it is
suggested that he may not even at
tend the convention, having no further
interest in the matter of the presiden-
tial nomination.
Politicians are said to think that
Senator Johnson's course presages
that he will not make any trouble for
his party. Many of his friends would
be gratified if he should show himself
to be a good sportsman in politics and
support the candidates and the party,
although they realize that after the
harsh things he said in the pre-
nomination campaign about the Presi-
dent and the organization of the party
it might require some courage to do
that. Still, the public is prone to over
look things "said in the heat Of de-
bate" rs they phrase it in Congress.
Speculation has it that the senator
is preparing gradually to fade out OF
the political picture Of his own voIi.
ton, and doubts are expressed whether
he will be found taking an active part
in political activities. His friends
know that he is weary Of public life
and political strife, and fain would
betake himself to quietude, except for
certain political conditions IN his own
state.

genuine Monroe doctrine" One part
Of the program Of that celebration
was the raising Of a fund to buy the
small brick house in lower Manhattan
which news report says SERVED as the
home Of Monroe during only the last
few years Of his life" No doubt it is
the house in which Monroe died, for
he passed from life at New York city
In 1881. Twenty-seven years later his
remains were reinterred at Richmond.
This New York house was once In a
fashionable quarter of the city. That
is not its state now, and it Is a rag
picker's shop. The New York Times,
treating OF the matter, says: I'VE have
altogether too little reverence for the
history Of the city and country. There
is no better way to stimulate a proper
interest than to preserve as many
places Of historic importance as pos.
sible." We have trouble in Washing
ton to save historic places, and some.
times they are not saved.
Monroe was a notable man in a
period which gave great opportunity
to be notable. His service to the re-
public at its birth and in its infancy
and youth was eminent. He served in
the Continental Army. In the Con-
gress Of the Confederation and in the
Virginia convention to consider rati-
fication Of the Constitution he was
conspicuous and important. AS United
Virginia he was able. AS minister to
France in 1894 his record shows eff.
ficiency, though the conduct Of his
mission was denounced by Federalists.
Later, as envoy extraordinary to
France by appointment Of Jefferson,
he aided in the Louisiana purchase.
Again, as Governor Of Virginia, then
as Secretary of State and as President
for two terms, during which momen-
tous domestic and foreign questions
arose. Monroe earned his place as one
of our great Americans.
Monroe was born in Westmoreland
county near Colonial Beach, forty-two
miles south of Washington in an air
line and about seven miles northwest
of Washington's birthplace. The Mon
roe birth house disappeared many
years ago. After his service as Presi-
dent he retired to a fine home in
Loudoun county, northwest of Wash
ington, and that Monroe house is held
in veneration. The little building in
Fredericksburg in which he had law
Office after retiring from the Congress
Of the Confederation in 1886 is stand
ing. 1t is probable that after more
effort the people of New York will buy
his New York home and keep it as a
memorial. Here in Washington the
building in which he was living when
he became President, and in which he
resided for several months after his
inauguration, thus being the execu-
tive mansion Of the United States. is
now the home Of the Arts Club, which
is preserving it as a landmark of
American history.

Pleads for Children.
Writer Deplores Efforts of Those
Opposing German Rellet.
To the Editor OF The Star: {:

To the Editor OF The Star:
was sorry to see the letter OF
Gordon c. Blair in your issue OF the
18th instant, opposing relief Tor tne
starving children of Germany Ihere
would have been some point to ms
protest if. those same children had, IN
any way, been to blame for the world
war, brought on mainly by the mad
ruler and military party of that coun-
try. According to report, the needs
of those children are very real and
pressing, and many may starve whlle
we are quibhling about the why and
the wherefore of the relief.
AS an American of a long line OF
ancestry, none of whom came from
Germany, but as a lover of justice
and mercy, j ask: Are the starving
children of Germany not as much en-
titled to be fed from our bounty as
the Russians, Japanese. Chinese,
Greeks. Armenians and others whom
we have helped as the occasion arose?
Are German children less worthy of
help than those of other nations? Is
not the Germanic element of our OWN
country, in the main. worthy of re-
spect and consideration; were they
not loyal to the Stars and Stripes
during the great war, by an ever
whelming majority?
If we are going to help the world
we cannot make flesh of one nation
and fish of another, and, above all,
we must not war upon the weak and
helpless, not withhold bread from the
mouths of innocent children II
would sadden me to know that I had
caused the most insignificant baby
by any word or act of mine, to die for
the want of simple nourishment. In.

No Lump-Sum Payment Plan.

The lump-sum payment plan should
not be substituted for the definite pro-
portionate contribution plan:
l. Because it destroys the relation
between national and local contribu-
tions, the basic principle Of the laws
of 1878 and 1922, which causes an
alien taxing body in taxing an unrep-
resented community in some measure
to tax also itself. The existence of
this relation is safeguard against ex-
cessive taxation Of the unrepresented
community.
?. Because it gives back to the na-
tion it's pledge Of proportionate con-
tribution, which accompanied national
seizure of the Capitals power of self
taxation, without restoring to the Dis
trict this self-taxing power Of which
it had been deprived.
3. Because by destroying national
obligation to make any definite pro-
portionate contribution it imposes a
loss of millions upon the District when
the latter's Treasury surplus, collect
ed under the $3.50 and 60-40 laws,
comes to be appropriated and spent.
a. Because it violates wantonly the
peace settlement Of the act Of 1922,
which levied taxes for five years to
come. and thus promised stability on
the 60-40 basis in the fiscal relations
Of the Capital for that period. 1t de-
prives the District Of the only impor-
tant offsetting benefit continued to it
by this law, in order to make heavier
the new tax burdens which the 1922
law imposed.
3. IL the lump-sum payment plan
comes into being on the basis Of it's
insertion by the House into an ap
preparation bill under the application
Of the Holman rule, the decrease or
elimination of the national contribu-
ton through action on an appropria-
ton bill will, 50 far. as the House is
concerned, be invited and facilitated,
while it's increase will in effect be
forbidden. The eight, nine or ten
millions of original payment under
this plan might in the hasty caprice
of subsequent Congress be the only
payment. Will the Senate sacrifice
a wise, sound fiscal principle to which
il is traditionally committed and in
the defense of which it is impregnably
intrenched in law and equity and the
rules governing such issues in confer
ence between the houses, when the
only temptation to sacrifice is this in
adequate and prospectively vanishing
consideration?
