Entry Of Germany into the League
OF Nations has been finally effected.
The vote to that end at Geneva
was unanimous. the voice of France
being first given by former Premier
BRAND. Immediately following a per.
manent seat in the council Of the
Lea que was awarded to Germany. At
once the German delegation left Ber.
lin, and tomorrow. 1t IL expected, rep.
resentatives of Germany win take
their seats in the assembly and the
council and another char pier OF history
will be closed.
Germany has refused to enter the
League without admission at the same
time to the council. A year ago this
question was cause OF a SERIOUS dis
turba nee in the Leagu a nd 1t has led
to two notable withdra walls, Brazil
and Spain. Germany has been patient
and has maintained a dignified posi-.
ton throughout the discussion, hold
ing firmly TO the claim of fun mem
bership and partifpa tion.
No prediction can be safely made
as to the effect Of Germany's entry
into the League and admission to the
council. If the League functions as
a preserver Of peace between the
nations. the effect will probably be to
facilitate the rehabilitation of Ger.
many without endangering the deli
cate balance in Europe. If, however,
the League cannot serve in a great
crisis to prevent war between mem
Der nations, Germany's status as q
member will not be a factor for the
maintenance of peace. The whole
problem is one for future determine
ton in terms of League service and
potentiality.

Great Need for Home
For Friendless Women

To the Editor of The Star
Please give nae space to say
word that I hope may catch the eye
Of some good philanthropist-one
that would like to be among the
thousands to beneht mankind in
general.
There IL great need of a home for
friendless women in this peculiar age.
Once there was a. time when home
was provided for the mother-in-law,
or other such member of the family
who needed such refuge. The time
has come when there Is no such place.
A mother-in-law is looked upon as an
interloper If she contemplates a home
with her children. Parents make every
sacrifice for their children to fit them
for their places in the world. then
when they are fitted they marry some
one who Is unwilling to share such
shelter with them.
Now this is the pathetic situati ton,
and one that should appeal to any
one who can and will do something
for relief. Why not build such a
home. charging, If need be, nominal
board-for not all are dependent fnan-
cially-a place where there Is COM
fort and freedom? Make it non
sectarian and endow it to the memory
of some noble man or woman as a
lasting monument to a noble cause.
Start it now. MRS. f. J. CARTER.

In the recent report of the special
trafy,c committee OF the Washington
Board of Trade protest was mace
against a, few police officers, who, II
had come to the notice of the COM
mittee: attempted personal adva noes
"a woman drivers when they were
stopped for alleged traffic violations.
The report pointed out that lew
women cared to court publicity in "A
matter such as this and consequently
comparatively few cases were brought
officially to the attention Of the de-
ps rtment.
Previous to the submission of the
report a policeman had been suspended
from the force for an assault on a
woman who was sitting in car with
an escort on a suburban road. This
policeman, with two others, had ap-
proa ched the automobile and ordered
the woman to get out.
The police trial board. when the Of
ficer appeared before it. promptly dis
missed him from the force. His two
compa Mons, however. were exoner-
ated. SO far. so good:
But now comes the announcement
from the reviewing body. the Board
of Commissioners. that the punish
ment Is too severe and that although
It concurs with the trial board in the
finding OF guilty the man should
he restored TO duty with a fine:
This is an extra ordinary procedure.
Whatever the merits or dement's of
this sordid case. if the officer has been
proved to be guilty Of the offense
charged he is not the type of man
citizens of the District desire on the
loca police force. A dismissal from
his position is light punishment.
When the trafic report was made
public there was much protest against
the particular clause dealing with this
matter Here, however, is a SPECIFIC
case. The woman had made charges
which were sustained after a fair
trial. Yet the guilty officer is allowed
to remain with the department after
paying trivial fine.
The decision Of the Board of Com
missioners is startling and is the op-
posite OF what would naturally be ex-
pected from those charged with re-
sponsibility for a. clean, honest and
decent Police Department. IT the
finding Of guilty" had been reversed
and the officer restored to duty with
out a fine. that would he one thing;
but to sustain the guilty" finding md
allow this type of policeman to patrol
the streets clothed with authority is a
shocking failure of Justice.
