Gustav Buchholz.

A keen sense of loss is felt by the
people of Washington in the death of
Gustav BuchholZ, who passed away In
this city last evening with little warn
ing. Gus" Buchholz had in the %
years of his career in Washington en-
deared himself to an exceptionally
wide circle of friends. His success as
hotel keeper was the result of his
estimable personal qualities. He was
a natural hotel man. genial, generous,
alert to serve to the complete satisfac-
ton OF his patrons, blessed with the
quality of gaining confidence, gifted
with a memory for identities. In the
trying days of the Great War Gustav
Buchhoiz was a stanch American,
helpfully participating in works for
the success Of American arms against
his native land. His success in bust.
ness was achieved after he had failed
or only moderately succeeded in other
lines OF work in this country He was
Insurance agent, street car conductor
an actor before he served as a head
waiter, and then he became a hotel
proprietor and found himself In a
role for which nature had richly en-.
dowed him. He is mourned sincerely
by this community.

next time an extremely hot Sunday or
holiday comes they will obey the
crowd impulse once more and make
the painful pilgrimage as to n shrine.
What constitutes a good time" is
matter Of individual Judgment and
taste. To some people, perhaps, pack
ing into suffocating subway or sur
face cars. riding in crowded motor
cars on dangerously congested roads,
milling by the tens of thousands on
hot sands. eating unwholesoIne food,
losing children and spending hours
finding them, for the sake Of peep
at seashore swarming with hu-
manity and possibly a splash in water
that laves the persons of several hun
dred thousand people-perhaps this
experience is good time" Certainly
1t must be sufficiently recreative to
induce repetition, for no matter how
dense the crowd, or how great the
discomforts or the dangers or how
painful the sufferings, Coney Island
continues to draw standing room
only" crowds whenever the weather
is hot.

The Disabled Dirigible.

A mishap to the engines of the
dirigibfe Los Angeles on her way to
st. Paul, where she was to be a fea-
ture of the Morse celebration, which
opens there today, compelled her re-
turn to Lakehurst. N. j., after reach
ing a point more than half way to
her destirution. This is one of the
limitations of the lighter-than-air
ships. They cannot land at any point
save one that has been specially pre-
pared. If anything goes wrong they
must make for the nearest hangar or
moortng mast. Hangers and mooring
nlasts, however. are not thichy scat
tered. A landing field may be avail
able with a sufficient squad of men
to handle the giant gas bag but this
requires organization, which cannot
be provided suddenly in an emergency.
An airplane, on the other hand, can
land in any open field Forced land
ings have been made on many occa-
sions in perfect safety by Government
and commercial planes. A dirigible
forced to descend in midfiight would
risk total destruction. Failure of the
fight of Los Angeles st. Paul will
prove a great disappointment there.
Perhaps this experience will result in
the provision of moorinS masts at
various points throughout the coun-
try, where these giants of the air
may be brought to rest in the course
of their occasional voyages.

Suffrage for Women
i'm Italy is Lauded

Italy's grant of the municipal fran.
chise to women may seem a moderate
concession to feminism, but it is note
worthy because of the slow progress
OF the cause on its political side in the
Latin countries of Europe. The
French Chamber some years ago
passed a bill comforting the parlia-
mentary franchise on women, but the
Senate sidetracked it. In Spain.
where parliamentary institutions have
been shelved for the time being. the
franchise is still exclusively. a mascu
line privilege.
1t is significant that the start of
womens enfranchisement in Italv
comes from the Fascist or .conserva
tive element. Europe's radicals. in
fact, are extremely lukewarm regard
Ing the enfranchisement of women
because of the fact tha the bulk of
the feminine vote goes to the con
servative parties and to the estab-
iished order. In Germany il went
largely to Hindenburg and the anti
republican Nationalists. The recent
Belgian government was upset be
cause both Socialist and Liberals re
fused to accept a measure proposed
by the Catholics giving women the
franchise in provincial elections.
Women have had the municipal fran
chise in Belgium since 1921.-Phila-

Britain Would Lessen
Peerages and Titles

There is to be a lessening of the
granting of peerages and titles in
England if the British government has
its way. 1t is to introduce q bill in
Parliament TO make the wholesale
granting of titles impossible and TO
put an end to a situation which has
become more or less of public
scandal.
Lloyd George was the chief offender
1t appears. While he was prime min.
lister there were created 81 new peer
ages and IS other advances in rank.
which was little too strong for con
servative England. This freedom in
creating new titles is said to have
been very distasteful to the King. bur
there was the excuse of the war and
services rendered. There Is a sus-
picion that generous contributions to
the Liberal campaign chest may have
been cogent factor behind the rec
ommendation of Lloyd George, but in
any event it Is proposed that in the
future peerages shall be more dmn.
cult to obtain.
Another factor in the movemene is
said to be desire to make the House
of Lords a more important hody in
matters of legislation; which, 1t is ar
gued, cannot be done by constantly

Hot Weather Mob Impulse.

1t is estimated that no less than
100000 people visited Coney Island
yesterday to seek relEf from the in
tense heat. They swarmed from New
York, from Brooklyn, from all the ad-
jacent cities and towns and suburban
settlements. They went by electric
car, by steam train, by motor and
afoot. At the beach they were packed
into a dense mass, and the crowd was
so great that $50 children were lost"
separated from their parents and
guardians and rounded up at the po.
lice stations for distribution. Thou
sands were unable to obtain bathing
accommodations Most of those who Sc
cured lighthouses and suits were un-
able to get into the sea. so compact
the time arrived to return the con-
gestion was 50 intense that many
thousands were compelled to wait for
hours, and did not reach home until
very late at night. 1t was a typical
hot-Sunday experience.
This is one Of the phenomena natu-
rally attendant upon the dense con-
centration of population. Everybody
thinks Of the same method of meet
ing unusual conditions. Everybody
moves by an identical impulse. The
mass movement sets in toward the
nearest and most accessible place Of
supposed relief, and the result is tre-
mendous jam. Few stop to consider
the consequences of such general
rush. Each individual or group acts
upon impulse without reckoning upon
the result Of the mob movement.
In such conditions as those caused
by the concentration of three-quarters
of a million people upon a short
stretch of ocean front within few
hours there is inevitably grievous dis
comfort and much danger. The aver
age experience is one of stress and
acutely unpleasant c:owding. Perhaps
half of, those who packed Coney Is
land yesterday resolved on their re-
turn. never to go again, and yet the

Greece's Charge for Wise

To the Editor of The Star;

On page IT of Fridays Star was

reference to the charge for passport
wise by certain of the Balkan states.
In this dispatch the following sentence
Greece charges S14, and
the traveller must pay every time he
crosses the border
The Greek legation authorizes us to
say. that this statement is incorrect.
The charge made by Greece for wise on
an American passport is Sc and the
wise Is given for a period of months,
which is shortly to be increa sed to IL
months without additional charge.
There is also in force a special ar
rangement for the benefit of students,
teachers. ETC., desiring to visit Greece,
under which passports for a party of
10 or more travelling on the same ship
are vised at a charge, which at the
present rate of exchange, comes to
only s1.45 each.
Greece, at the present time, is do
ing everything in it's power to facili-
tate and encourage tourist trade, and
misleading statements like the one to
which ~e refer are harmful. We,
