The Issue in Germany.

Nomination of Field Marshal Won
parties Of the right in Germany draws
a clear-cut issue in the campaign
which will end on the 26th Of April
in the second and final election for
the presidency. That issue will be
between republicanism and mon
archism, between a continuation of
the democratic form Of government
and the restoration Of Hohenzollern
rule. Hindenburg is, to be sure, a
candidate simply for the presidency.
But that candidacy Is, it is now plain,
but a first move in campaign for
the return, if not of Wilhelm II, of
member Of his family to the throne.
Hindenburg's candidacy, it now ap-
pears, was the result of conferences
between the Monarchist parties in
Germany and the exile at Doom. The
aged field marshal was indisposed to
enter the political arena. He was
finally persuaded by assurance that
the former kaiser wished him to stand
as the nominee, as virtually his rep
resentative. When he was convinced
that the parties Of the right would
unite upon him and that Wilhelm
wished him to run he consented.
In the preliminary election held on
the 29th of March, which resulted in
no choice, the Monarchist groups
failed to make a sufficient showing
to elect Jarres, their candidate. The
Republican votes were divided. Now
there is a union Of the Republican
strength upon Marx, whose election
would seem to be probable, despite the
concentration Of Monarchist senti-
ment upon Hindenburg. The circum-
stances in which the field marshal
has been nominated, the plain evi-
dence that he is the candidate, not
merely of the pro-monarchical parties,
but of the former kaiser, should, it
is felt, strengthen the Republican poll
on the 26th Of this month. At any
rate. the issue is now clearly defined.
1t is in some Of the dispatches from
Berlin defined as that Of monarchy
or republic, with militarism and war
as the program for Germany in the
event Of Hindenburg's election, or
reconciliation and peace should Marx
be chosen.
A fortnight from next Sunday will
tell the story. Germany's decision
will then be rendered. While the time
is short, doubtless the campaign will
be thorough one and the German
people will be aroused to the point of
large poll. Upon the decision may
rest the peace Of Europe, the peace.
indeed, Of the world.

promotion, classification, civil service
retirement and compensation under
the Federal compensation act.
1t is explained that the plan OF
Secretary Jardine with the selection
OF the heads Of the reorganized bu-
reaus carries with 1t recognition Of
the services and abilities Of longtime
employees OF the bureau. The con-
solidation effected is regarded by Sec
retary Jardlne as a distinct move in
q direction of efficiency. When he
assumed Office he found dozen or
more separate offices engaged in per-
sonnel and business operations affect
ing the department as whole with
the head OF each Office reporting d.
rectly to the Secretary. The new
system will be generally recognized as
vast improvement.

shell-swept area in war times. Speed
regulations on some Of the streets
have become temporarily unnecessary
because OF the rough riding and the
danger OF broken axles.
The Court of Appeals in its de-
cision declared that the District gov
ernment may not avoid liability Tor
failure to keep a street in a reason
ably safe condition "by assert
ing that the unsafe condition was
the result of the exercise Of discre-
tionary power or governmental func.
ton" Nor is there excuse for the
District government because OF lack
of appropriations by the Congress.
The plain duty Of the District gov
ernment, in the opinion Of the court,
is to see TO it that the citizens may
be free of danger from accident be-
cause of the condition of the streets
and sidewalks.
Not many years ago the streets Of
Washington were at once the joy Of
its residents and the envy of other
municipalities, because Of their com.
parative smoothness and cleanliness.
With the tremendous increase in the
number of motor vehicles, however,
and the heavy traffic, the reputation
of the streets here has changed for
the worse. If Congress is to blame
for conditions, then steps should be
taken TO bring the matter home forci-
bly, to that body. But with money at
hand the District government should
bend every energy to relieve what
today is a real menace-the evil con-
dition Of many Of the streets.

Reorganization and Consolidation

Secretary Jardine Of the Depart-
ment Of Agriculture has moved swift
ly in executing his plans for reor.
ganization and consolidation in the
administration Of the department.
Announcement Of his action states
that it is in the interest Of economy
and efficiency, his proclaimed objec-
tive upon taking hold Of his office
In bringing about the consultations,
Secretary Jardine let it be known that
he expects that not only will increased
efficiency and economy result, but that
the changes are in line with other
policies Of President Coolidge. Even
tually these consultations will result
in reductions in personnel, but he
gives assurance that no wholesale re-
ductions are contemplated.
This should be gratifying to the
employees Of the department who will
naturally be uneasy until the re-
organization is completed and the
department may go ahead under the
new regime without undue apprehen-
sion as to tenure of Office among the
employees. The statement may also
be taken as indicating that Secretary
Jardine will bear in mind the economic
wisdom of drawing the line at a point
where wholesale reduction might work
out to be uneconomical.
It is explained that for the first
time the department will have in
effect a personnel manager in the
creation of a division Of personnel and
business administration under a di-
rector. This is In line with the wishes
expressed by many of the govern
ment workers in Washin gton. The
| new director Of this bureau will be in
contact with the Civil Service Com
mission, the Bureau Of Efficiency and
| the Classification Board. He will deal

Memorial Bridge Foundations.

Drilling for the foundations OF the
new Arlington Memorial Bridge has
resulted in the striking Of bedrock at
4S feet below the surface. Other Dor.
ings will be made to effect a complete
survey Of the character of the bottom
on the line Of the new structure. This
work, it is stated, will take about four
months. Upon it's completion bids
will be invited for the construction,
thus actually starting the work.
One Of the objections to the Me.
mortal Bridge. raised long ago, was
that it would be impossible to obtain
suitable foundation. This was never
seriously considered, in view of the
fact that bridges have been built
across the river, both above and below
the proposed line. without any par,
ticular difficulty. Foundation work in
the entire river basin around Wash
ington requires penetration to bedrock
or else the use of piles. Numerous
large structures are now standing in
the area Of the old river basin without
any risk Of subsistence. In fact, prac.
tically all large structures along Penn.
sylvania a and south of it are
built on pil4ngs, which in some cases
reach bedrock and in others reach
hardpan.
Potomac Park is reclaimed area"
formed by the dredging of the river
channels and the deposit OF the
dredged alluvial material behind re.
tanning walls. 1t is now thoroughly
settled" Or solidified. Foundations,
however, must within its area be OBJ
tanned by going to the firm strata of
the basic rock. At 4S feet this is not
difficult, and it is thus assured that
Memorial Bridge will stand upon firm
footing.
1t is gratifying to find the work
proceeding so promptly and vigor.
ously. Construction Of the bridge will
be matter Of several years, and this
present pace of the preliminary work
is an assurance that no time will be
lost and that the period of construc-
ton will be reduced to the lowest
terms compatible with substantial, en-.
during construction.

disagreed with Henry Ford. Their
lives were short and merry, in an
industrial sense. They were also
Enthusiastically American. They
worked hard, the lived hard, they
served their country well, and their
organism was such that their souls

that If they had lived they probably

Describing the accumulation of the
Dodge fortunes as among the ro-
mances OF American industry and
commerce, the Pittsburgh Gazette
Times remarks that ownership and
control may be expected to pass be-
fore long to the investing public, to
be diffused. The Gazette-Times sees
in several such transactions a form
Of public ownership through wide dis
tribution of shares Of common stock.
Referring to "the golden age of

THIS AND THAT
BY CHARLES E. TRACEWELL.

, the best there is in one, with the
| final result very much In doubt. Bat
| 1t Is this uncertainty, perhaps, which
adds zest to the game.
If we were quite positive we would
never fall down, life would become
boresome. If we knew beyond per-
adventure we should never sag In the
middle, not even q little bit, perhaps
we would become unbearably stin
Mentally we sag fearfully.
There Is saying current among
| the psychologists that a man never
learns anything after he is 80 years
old, unless he Is forced to.
Before you controvert that, stop
and consider. Honest, now, what
have you really studied recently?
What do you know now you did not
know a year ago, years ago, 10
years ago.
Let us quit for very shame. We go
along in the same old way, as COM
| fortably as we may, failing even
| to read any longer the great books
| of the world, because they lack pep.
AS If pep" holds a candle to worth,
or cleverness weighs in the scale
against honesty and earnestness.
Laugh all you please at the cor
| respondence schools. Nevertheless,
they represent some real mental
starch" self-applied by earnest
young men and women who have
been logged into seeing that they
are sagging in the middle of the
mind.
If you will stretch your brain out
| like a curtain, the sight may please
you for time, but after a while you
| will be painfully aware that the
! mental curtains are parting in the
| middle.
While these curtains are concealing
your inmost thoughts from the pry-
| ing world, do not allow them to hide
yourself from yourself. If we sag
| in the skull, we ought to know about
| it, certainly.
Morally, perhaps, we sag worst of
all.
The whole Christian Church ap
plies itself principally to prevent this
sagging, with what success will be
| judged hereafter.
Sincere, decent men of all days and
| ages, Christian, pagan, Mohammedan
or what have worked in the same
good field.
Read your Marcus Aurelius, whom
Dean F'aTrar called a seeker after
| God" Read Lucretius. who said.
| True religion Is not to bow down be-
| fore stone. but to have a heart AT
peace with God"
These men, and countless others,
| knew that despite the fact we are
| fearfully and wonderfully made. We
are inclined to sag In the middle in
uprightness, honor, truth, decency,
love, faith, charity and the other
| moral attributes.
When we are mean, We sag fear
| fully.
When we are fippant, we yawn
apart.
If discourteous to the poor, but
very kind to the rich, We sag wide.
The organizations to which we be-
| long sag, too, when we do, or those
under US do, When a street car con-
| ductor is discourteous, the whole
traction company says.
When the clerks In a. store continue
their private conversation, although
they see the customer patiently wait
| Ing to get waited on, then the whole
| establishment is listing to starboard.
Any organization that breaks faith
with those who support It is sagging
| in the middle.
Even civilization sagged during the
World War. And every now and then
some one pops up to tell US that the
very universe is sagging in the mid
| die.

War on Disease Brings

Twenty-Five years hence tubercu.

Let US hope that the doctor is cor.

to sufferers the world over. Every
