WITH NO OUTSTANDING events
to engage its interests, Washington
has been all excited about the dis
appearance - again - of President
Coolidge's cat. Tige, who is we'll
known to those who visit the White
House regularly, strayed away
| several months ago and was brought
back after the news of his dis
appearance had been broadcasted
along the eastern seaboard by radio
| He Immediately became parsonage
and his photograph appeared in all
the papers, while cartoonists used
him as the subject for their pictures.
| Now Tige has gone again, and the
President says that as far as he is
concerned, the cat can stay away, in
view of the fact that he does not
appreciate living in the Executive
Mansion.
BROADER GENERAL FRANK
T. Hines, Director of the United
States Veterans Bureau, is willing
to forgive and forget. Thomas L.
Beaver, young ex-soldier who
thought that he was not getting a
square deal from the Government in
the matter of compensation, beat up
the Director. Hines was laid up
for two weeks, but now announces
that no charges will be filed against
| Beaver and that the young mans
case will be given prompt and

STARTLING STATEMENTS to
the effect that at least a thousand
aliens are struggled into the United
States each day of the year has
aroused Department of Labor of
ficials to more strenuous efforts to
stop this brand of Bookkeeping.
Special officers are to be stationed
along the Mexican and Canadian
borders, augmented by air patrols,
to head off the aliens as they come
sneaking in. Lack of sufficient
agents has been the chief cause of
the failure of the Labor Department
to stop this illegal immigration into
/ the United States.
SENATOR JIM WATSON of
Indiana has come back to Washing
ton with the estimate that President
Coolidge will not fail to have
plurality in the electoral college
after the November election. As a
member of the Republican Senatorial
Campaign Committee, Watson
gathered his information in the
course of the work of the committee
in helping Senators keep their seats
on Capitol Hill. The Indiana
Senator figures that Coolidge's
plurality will be around twenty
votes, with Senator La Toilette in
second place and John w. Davis,
third. If, says Watson, Coolidge
does not win out in the electoral
College, he thinks Charles W. Bryan
of Nebraska the Democratic Vice
presidential nominee, will be the
next President.
THE PAST FEW WEEKS have
been marked by more intensive
American participation in European
affairs. Both Secretary of State
Hughes and Secretary of the
Treasury Mellon have been in

Italy, while Ambassador Kellogg
has taken a prominent part in the
allied conference, which is working
out a scheme 20 put the Dawes
reparations plan into operation. Two
speeches have been made in London
by Hughes On political and
economic problems and his promise
of American aid in the restoration
of Europe has received the hearty
and official OK of President
Coolidge.
