Appreciation of Veterans.
In voicing appreciation Of those who
served their country the President
declared that they are held in bound
less esteem. He then recounted some
thing Of what the Veterans Bureau
mas been doing in the matter of ex-
tending relief to the veterans. He
said that more than S3,5C0 900, 900 has
been expended by the National Gov
ernment during the past eight years
for restoration, education and relief
Of veterans, and that nearly $3,2OO.-
C00, 900 has been pledged to accrue in
future benefits to all veterans.
Although the President appealed for
peace and tolerance and hoped for a
better understanding between the Ma
tions of the earth, his utteranceS on
this impres sive occasion, taken on the
whole, were a stanch defense Of the
ideals Of America and of the Ameri-
can spirit. For instance, in conclud-
ing he said: "While we recognize the
obligations arising from the war and
the common dictates of humanity.
which ever bind us to friendly consid-
Grafton for other people, our main re-
sponsibility is for America"

able to serve their needs. We have
mainland our detached and inde-
pendent position in order that we
might be better prepared, in our own
way, to serve those who need our
help. We have not desired or sought
to intrude, but to give our counsel
and our assistance when 1t has been
asked. Our influence is none the less
valuable because we have insisted
that 1t should not be used by one
country against another. but for the
fair and disihtereSted service of all.
We have signified our willingness to
cooperate with other countries to Sc
cure a method of settlement Of dis
puteS according to the dictates Of
reason.
Justice is an ideal, whether 1t be
applied between man and man or be-
tween nation and nation. Ideals are
not secured without corresponding
sacrifice. Justice cannot be secured
without the maintenance and support
cf institutions for it's administration.
We have provided courts through
which 1t might be administered in the
case of our individual citizens. A
Permanent Court of International
Justice has been established to which
nations may voluntarily resort for an
adjudication of their differences. 1t
has been subject to much misrepre.
sentation, which has resulted in much
raisconception of its principles and
objects among our people. 1 have adj
vocated adherence to such a court by
this Nation on condition that the stat
ute of treaty creating it be amended
to meet our views. The Senate has
adopted a resolution for that purpose.
Responsibility Is Grave.
"While the nations involved cannot
be said to have made a final determi-
ration, and from most of them no an
swer has been received, many of them
have indicated that they are unwilling
to concur in the conditions adopted
by the resolution Of the Senate. While
no final decision can be made by our
Government until final answers are
received, the situation has been suff1-
ciently developed so that l feel war

to ask the Senate to modify it's posi-
ton. 1 do not believe the Senate
would take favorable action on any
such proposal, and unless the require
AentS Of the Senate resolution are

can see no prospect of this country
adhering to the court.
while we recognize the obligations
arising from the war and the common
dictates of humanity which ever bind
us to a friendly consideration for other
people, our main responsibility is for
America. In the present state of the
world that responsibility is more
grave than it ever was at any other
time. We have to face the facts. The
margin of safety in human affairs is
never very broad, as we have seen
from the experience of the last dozen
years. II the American spirit fails,
what hope has the world? III the
hour of our triumph and power we
cannot escape the need for sober
thought and consecrated action. These
dead whom we here commemorate
have placed their trust in US. Their
living comrades have made their sac
rifice in the belief that we would not
fail. In the consciousness of that
trust and belief this memorial stands
as our pledge to their faith, holy
testament that our country will con
tinue to do it's duty under the guild.

No Apology for Wealth,
The President, however, disposed of
this subject by saying that while wo

or vaunt our ability to accumulate
wealth, he sees no occasion to apollo
gize for it. And as for our critics,

Actuaries on Civil Service
Retirement Reappointed by
Commissioner of Pensions.

The three men who constituted the
board Of actuaries on the civil serv.
ice and disability fund have been re
appointed, 1t was learned today, even
though six weeks ago the prediction
was made that there would be nc
board Of actuaries this year. Mem
bers of the board who have been re
appointed are George B. Buck Of New
York, Herbert d. Brown, chief of the
Bureau Of Efficiency. and Joseph s.
Mccoy of the. Treasury Department.
The appointments we're made by
Commissioner of Pensions Scott. with
the approval of Secretary Of the In.

Recommendations Questioned.

on several matters with the recon-.
mendationS of the same board in its
last report, issued March 90. AL

ed appropriations by the Government
to the retirement fund in advance of
its actual needs, Mr.. Work said the
Interior Department was unwilling
to subscribe to this theory.
In determining the status of the
present fund the actuaries proposed
that the Government shall hence
Iortn make annual appropriations in
advance of the actual needs of the
fund to place it upon a permanently
self-supporting basis" Mr.. Work said.
II may say that the department is
unwilling to subscribe to the theory
that the Government should make an
appropriation to the retirement fund
In advance Of actual needs.
In Position of Guarantor.
'The Government is in the position
of guarantor of the fund and, being
the foundation of our economic struc.
ture, does not need to give bond to
insure specific performance of it's obli-
cations" Mr.. Work added that esti-
mates of the time when Government
appropriation to the fund will be
necessary place it anywhere from 10
to 25 years.
Since the report of the board was
filed liberaliZed retirement legislation
raising the maximum annuity to
$1,000 and increasing the annual de-
duction from employees salaries from
212 to 315 per cent has been passed
and is now in effect.

STUDY ) CHANGES
IN HIGHWAY PLANS
District Commissioners Hold
Open Hearing on Street
improvements.

Five proposed changes in the high
way plan of the District, most of them
designed to preserve the topography
and the natural contours OF the land
in outlying sections, were considered
by the Commissioners at public hear
ing in the boardroom of the District
Building. Only a small group of
property owners affected by the pro
posals attended.
Discussions centered on a propo
sition to widen Piney Branch road
between Butternut and Cedar streets
One proposal was to widen this
thoroughfare to 80 feet. An alterna
tive was to make it a 120-foot boule
ward.
9O-FoOt Plan Fought.
The 9O-foot width was favored by
B. C. Wilkinson, 1920 Piney Branch
road, but was opposed by a small
group who contended that such a
width would cut off front lawns anG
ruin property. Among these were l.
B. Burdett, 1902 Piney Branch road
J. P. Thomas, 1900 Piney Branch
road, and Judge w. w. Warwick OF
the personnel classification board.
Other proposed changes considered
were:
A plan to make q boulevard ou'
of Madison street connecting Fort
Slocum and Fort Stevens; changing
the location of Tilden street to pre-
serve old trees now standing; eliminat
ing Randolph street from the high
way plan by rearranging the streets
in the area bounded by Sixteenth
street, Randolph street, Blagden roat
and Rock Creek Park road, so as tt
make the streets follow natural con
tours and thus preserve wooded
slopes; rearranging the streets in the
area bounded by st. Elizabeth's Hos
pital, Blue Plains and Giesboro road
so as to obtain a roadway along the
top of the hill overlooking the Poto
mac and the Virginia hills.
Contingent on Purchase.
The latter plan is contingent. how
ever, upon the decision of the Ma
tional Capital Park and Planning
Commission to buy the strip Of lant
lying between the hillcrest and thu
river for a public park.
The recommendations Of the Com
missioners on these proposed change:
will be submitted to the Nationa
Capital Park and Planning Commits
sion for final approval.

LAKEHURST, N. j., October IL
The United States Navy dirigible Los
Angeles is as stable to the civilian rid
ing on it as it appears to be to the
man gazing up from the ground.
Such was the outstanding impress
sion gained by an Associated Press
representative who, during a recent
fight of the big ship similar to this
weeks three-day test cruise to De-
troit, was asked by Lieut.. Comdr. G..
e. Rosendahl, flight commander of the
ship, to be the "eyes for everybody
in the country" who would like to
know what trip in the dirigible
is like.
Permission to make the trip was
obtained from the Navy Department.
Although the trip was of ordinary
routine nature. conditions and cir
cumstances being the same as those
under which all persons would nor
mally fly, the observer felt a GER
tain detachment from connection
with the earth, as if the big ship
were another planet.
Activity Starts Early.
Throughout the early hours Of the
morning the officers and crew, un-
believably dwarfed by the giant
structure of the ship itself. scurried
about the engine rooms and compart
ments making ready. At o'clock
two bugle notes sounded through the
hangar, and with whir of invisible
motors the great doors forming the
entire east end of the building slid
slowly back. The thrush of early
sunshine changed the ship from dull
gray to the silver tint familiar to
those who have watched it In flight.

Shipman said that heavy rains of
Saturday night on the upper reaches
of the Arkansas River and in this
vicinity, would bring a new flood crest
Of 80 feet, feet higher than the high
mark of last week. He warned all
residents Of low lands to take out all
movable property before tomorrow,
when it is expected that the new crest
will be reached.
Yesterdays river gauge reading was
27.5 feet at noon and slowly rising.
Few effects Of the new flood were to
be seen yesterday. Water was still
standing on low lands flooded last
week, but fears were expressed that
levees would give way, and that rail-
road tracks might be damaged by the

Highway bridges were reported out
