Bryan's Last Resting Place.

When at first ii was announced
that William Jennings Bryan would
be buried at Arlington the thought
caused a questioning reaction in the
public mind, for Arlington has been
established as the last resting place
of the military and naval heroes of
this country. But later reflection re-
veals the appropriateness of the Sc
lection. Mr.. Bryan was a veteran"
of the Spanish-American War. He
held commission as colonel of the
Sd Nebraska Volunteer Infantry. He
did not reach the front. The war
was over before his command could
be brought into action. But he was
ready for duty, and had he gained the
ground of the actual campaign he
would undoubtedly have borne him
self creditably.
In another connection, however,
there is propliety in the entombment
OF the "Commoner" at Arlington. He
was Secretary of State. and although
the national cemetery is not dedi-
Gated to those merely in high civil
position, that office, virtually the Sec
ond in the American administration,
warrants the choice of this ground.
Mr.. Bryan's career practically CEN
tered at Washington. Though he was
officially a resident of this city only
during the four years of his congress
sional term and the two years of his
secretaryship, it was the scene
of many of his most important en-
deavors. He was a frequent visitor.
He was practically a resident of the
Capital during most of the 80 years
of his active political career.
So on Friday he will be inferred in
the bosom of the hills overlooking
Washington, and his tomb will be a
shrine for those who held him in un-
waveringly high esteem and who re-
garded him as one of the important
and vital forces for the moral better
ment of America.

The Parachute.

The parachute has won RECOGNITION
as an airplane accessory. instruction
in parachute jumping is given at the
Air Service Technical School and fifty
three parachute jumps have been made
this year from heights of 1000 to $500
feet. 1t is said that the parachute
has shown such value that most avia-
tors take one on the trip and familiar
ly call it an umbrella. Laymen or
groundlings feel satisfaction that the
parachute has proved to be a useful
thing, but it is believed that there
will be only limited public demand
for it. Plain people are not crowding
the shops and surging up to the para
chute counter. Jumping into air
mile and half from earth and COM
ing down in company with a para
chute is, no doubt, splendid exercise
and is attended with more thrilling
emotions than playing base ball, golf
or bridge, but most persons will, per-
haps, wish to stay in the airplane un-
til it lands. They feel that this action
is more decorous even though it is less
attractive to lookers-on or lookers-up
Very many persons have an indisposi-
ton to jump from a considerable
height. A man will jump from six
story window when emergency de-
mands- it and. a dozen firemen are

New York's Mayoralty Fight.

As the Summer wakes the New
York mayoralty question becomes
more acute and specific. 1t will soon
be time for the Democrats of the
greater city to name a candidate, the
Republicans quickly following suit.
The situation must resolve itself
within a month. Now conferences
are being held by Tammany lead
ers, and, most important, the Demo-
cratic chiefs of the five boroughs
are to be in concIave on the ques-
ton of whom to name for the munic-
ipal standard bearer in this cam
paign. Chief McCooey of Brooklyn
continues to occupy the position of
strategic advantage. He is ostensibly
for Hylan's denomination. but it is
well understood that he will swing
from the mayor as soon as certain
terms of his own are conceded.
Meanwhile, Mayor Hylan is playing
into the hands of his enemies within
Tammany Hall. He misses no op-
portunity to address the public. Re
Gently he has been going up and
down the beaches and boardwalks
at Coney Island and Rockaway, talk
ing to the populace whenever and
wherever it gathers and proclaiming
that the issue in this coming cam
paign in ''the people versus dough-"
InaSmuch as Tammany is dead set
az in 81 ~
the Fourteenth street organization
in the dough" class and that is an
unpleasant word, which is now re-
sented.
One of the mayors campaigning de-
vices is the establishment of a munic-
ipal radio service, which though Off
cially declared to be free from par
tisanshipf and political matters, has
proved to be peppered with Hylan-
isms and admonitions to the people
to beware the interests" 1t is in
fact a campaign agency maintained
at the city's expense.
The latest development of this re-
markable political situation is the
individuals and metropolitan news
papers by a bonding corporation
which, in the course of the recent
rapid transit inquiry, was accused of
enjoying special privileges in rela-
ton to the bonding of contractors for
municipal works. These suits are for
amounts aggregating over $40, ,O0O, 900.
They can hardly be tried in season to
affect the campaign Of the mayor for
the nomination or for the office in
case he should be nominated regular
ly or as an Independent candidate.
They are plainly filed for political
effect, though some believe that they
are designed to stop further pro-
cedure which might have an embar-
RAISING consequence in revealing GER
tain intimate personal relations be-
tween the mayor and members of the
bonding firm.

tAASLIiiS lttdlleS III cases OF alleged
German failure to perform under the
treaty be similarly established by a
neutral tribunal.
Substitute for Treaty.
Thus the guarantee pact is in real
ity offered as substitute for certain
portions of the treaty.
Stresemann's final point is some
what more obscure. The allies have
insisted that Germany's entrance to
the League Of Nations should be a con.
dition antecedent to all else. Germany
has argued that she could only enter
the league under certain conditions
Germany is not reluctant to enter the
league because of the reasons which
she advances; these are obviously too
fiimsy. The real reason is that she
has made commitments in another di-
rectiOn.
In 1922 at the Genoa conference
Rathenau and Freiherr Won Malzan
suddenly confronted allied leaders with
the notorious Rapallo treaty made
with the Soviet government, consti-
tutinS an arrangement in some re-
spects akin to an alliance. No one
knows quite what the whole bargain
was, but it is generally suspected that
there We're military as we'll as politi-
cal and commercial circumstances. In
any event 1t is clear that the German
objection to entrance into the league
Internationally grows out of the Ra-
pallo arrangement.
Insurance to Russia.
In a war between Russia and her
western neighbors, Poland and Ru-
mania, for example, these states could
only be supported by France to the
extent of military reinforcements if
the troops were sent by land, since
the DanZig route would be exposed
to naval attack and might easily be
interrupted by raids, but if Germany
could obtain the agreement of the
league that in case of such conflict her
territory could not be crossed by allied
| troops. she would. in effect, insure
Russia a free hand with only Poland
or Poland and Rumania to deal with.
In return Germany, while remaining
neutral, might easily receive the Po-
lish Corridor and Upper Silesia from a
victorious Russia, which would not be
| interested in either. Moreover. since
| Germany is only committed not to re-
cover her lost eastern lands by her
| own force, she might accept them at
Russian hands without violation of
| her arbitration treaties.
OF the three points raised by Ger
many neither the first nor the second
| is really formidable. The real objec-
tions are going to be raised over the
third point, for France will not and
! cannot agree to anything which re-
duces her chance of supporting
! Czechoslovakia and Poland in case Of
| either Bolo or German attack. Ger
many, on the other hand, with her
| treaty with the Bolos, is equally GER
| tain to stand firm and she obviously
relies upon British support.
However, the main fact of the whole
correspondence is that all three for
eign ministers not only want a confer
ence, but have staked their domestic
| political fortunes on it. therefore we
are likely to have the conference.
probably at Brussels next month and
patiently with the object of paving the

| League of Nations at the September

| vorable for final agreement.
