II could not express all that the

deplorable situations with which this
court has ever been confronted.

ally, yet 1t must act through personal
agents who have ordinarily personal
sensibilities. Mr.. Garrett has said that
this case is no more painful to him
than to the court. 1 think in every
case the judge who imposes sentence

it would be glad to accept, and stay

He pointed out, however. that the
grand jurors who returned the indict-
ment had taken an oath which pledged
them to perform their duty without
FEAR or favor, affection or partiality."
The same duty, he said, rests on the

building. SO rapid was his recovery
that DIR. Cram was not summoned,

DOUBT ON COOLIDGE
H|NDENBURG NOTE
Congratulations Not Yet
Prepared, But Are Not
Obligatory.
BY DAVID LAWRENCE.

President Coolidge had not prepared
message of congratulation to Presi-
dent-elect Won Hindenburg today.
though it was said at the Department
or State the question had not been
broached there for decision and 1t was
not known what the White House
might ultimately decide.
The Inauguration of the new Ger
man President will be the occasion for
many congratulatory messages from
the nations which were neutral dur
ing the World War. but it is not GER
tam just how many of the allied
powers will follow the more or less
customary procedure of sending a
formal message of greetings.
1t is not an obligation for the head
OF one state to congratulate another.
1t has been done in many cases. but
the officials familiar with precedent
say they do not keep track of the
omissions, as it Is a question entirely
within the volition of friendly state
and the absence of a congratulatory
message Is not looked upon as any
thing unfriendly.
The sending Of a message to Won
Hindenburg might, of course, be
misconstrued on this side of the
Atlantic on the part of those who
feel that the aged field marshal is
guilty of the acts which listed him
as war criminal under the Versailles
treaty. Naturally, the god wishes of
the American Government go out to
the German people and their govern
ment in reconstYucting war.torn Ger
many and bringing about a condition
that will enable the Germans to pay
their repara tions, and such expressions
OF hope and encouragement may still
be made by President Coolidge when
he receives the new German Am
bassador here.
1t is considered likely that any i'll
feeling which may result among Ger
mans from an omission of a message
of congratulation to Won Hindenburg
Will be taken into account when Mr..
Coolidge replies to the formal address
presented by the German envoy, who,
in fact, will be Won Hindenburg's per-
sonal representative, and whose ere.
dentials will be attested by the new
President of Germany.
Apart from the embara sSment pre-
sented by the question of a personal
message of congratulation. the Undue
tion into office of the field marshal
is looked upon here as an event that
may ultimately prove the salvation of
Germany. High hopes are enter
tanned that he will be able to con.
solidate the German political situa.
ton and make the German leaders
realize the necessity for fulfilling
external obligations. On the whole,
while there is skepticism about the
effects of the rivalry between the
monarchists and the republicans and
the possible disturbances that may
ensue therefrom, the true desire of
the administration here is that Won
Hindenburg will succeed in develop.
ing a unity inside Germany and a
better attitude toward the nations OF
the world, an attitude unmarked by
remilitarization or financial default.

Approval of the proposal by the

PLANS SEWER EXTENSION,
Line Through U. S. Reservation
Proposed by Arlington County.

Extension of the sewer system of
Arlington County, Va, to the Potomac
River. through the Fort Myer Mill.
tary Reservation, is planned by the
county authorities, and is now before
the War Department for action. The
pipe line, as planned, would pass under
the main road from Key Bridge to
the Army post, but the projectors
promise that the work of construction
will not interfere with general traffic
on that road and that when it is re-.
paired it will be in better condition
than 1t is at present. Otherwise the
line passes through unused portions
of the reservation. War Department
officials are uncertain whether they
are authorized to grant the applica-
ton under existing laws and condi-
tions or whether the proposed use of
the reservation requires specific au-
thortty by Congress.
