Lejeune and Neville Lauded
AS Soldiers of Popular Mold

Of four years each he had the confidence
Of the Navy Department and has been
very popular with the rank and file.
He Is one Of the most democratic of
commanders. He has taken an intimate
interest in the post life Of his men. No
offieer Is more closely related TO the
corps. In succeeding him as coinman-
dant Gen. Neville Is meritorious choice
and bids fair to be as popular" The
Norfolk Ledger Dispatch recalls that
the two men have been held up as ex-
amples Of the finest traditions of the
service. which was created in 1898, and
which has always been found wherever
the American Government expected its
interests and those Of its nationals to be
protected In days Of peace and Of war"
For years." says the Nashville Ban
ner, Gen. Lejeune has been concerned
with situations that required courage.
skill, force and tact and never once has
failed. He Is man Of whom the Nation
Is rightly proud" The Trenton Evening
Times voices the thought that the Ma
ton reluctantly permits Marine CORPS
administration to be vested In other
hands" while the Memphis Commercial
Appeal Is impressed by the fact that
none has held the confidence Of the
Navy Department during the years he
has been commandant more than Gen.
Leieune." The Boston Transcript, re-
cording that China, although at first
opposed to the GRAND of the Marines in
that country, expressed regret at their
leaving, continues: 1.-The country will

Wouldn't Take A. E. F.
To Enforce Dry Law

From the Little Rock Arkansas Gazette.
The assertion of Police Commissioner
Russell of Chicago that the entire
American Expeditionary Force, If it
were brought into that city, couldn't
stop people from taking a drink" was
adroitly phraSed. Buried in it was a
tacit but direct appeal to the sentiment
Of personal liberty" Shall Americans,
ran the unspoken argument, let John
Law seal up their gullets2 No, they'd
sooner trample down q line Of Serried
bayonets.
But, as a matter of fact, prohibition
lists are not so simple minded as to
think they can stop people from TAX
ing a. drink" when a drink is handy.
What they do seek is to stop the manu-
facture, transportation and sale of
intoxicants.
Working from that angle, the A. E. F.
would make a formidable enforcement
machine, and Commissioner Russell is
kidding himself or the public when he
suggests 1t wouldn't. Given the doni-
nant authority and arbitrary power
troops possess in war zone, we do not
imagine it would take the entire A. E..
F., or one of its component armies,
corps, divisions, brigades. regiments.

Roald Amundsen's
Ledger Is Closed

From the Canton Daily News.
Roald Amundsen was one of the
worlds greatest explorers. but he had
no flair for finance. Money troubles
plagued his later years. AT a recent
sale the medals with which Kings, gov
ernmentS and scientific societies had
decorated him were disposed of to dis
charge his financial obligations. The
medals represented his sole asset when
he flew into the Arctic on that mission
of mercy from which he never returned.
Amundsens ledger is closed. With the
last line ruled in the book he leaves
the world, and few of its inhabitants
in particular, owing him a debt which
respects, the outstanding explorer OF his
age. He was the only man who had
visited both Poles and the only navi-
gator to pilot ship through the North
west Passage, q feat which was the
dream OF great Adventures for four
centuries. A few personal relics COM
prise the estate he left. The sea has
tossed up battered gasoline tank and
wrecked pontoon from his Inflated
craft to add to the collection.
Amundsen came out Of retirement
once to pay off his debts. Several times
his ship had been attached for judg-
ments. False friends exploited him, and
he turned to the lecture platform to re-
coup his losses. He forsook his hard
earned rest again last July to rush to
the rescue of the man who had ma
ligned him. That was his final chal-
lenge to the frigid wastes.
There is bitter irony in the whole
plot of AmundSen's life. The world Law
ished its goods on many less worthy.
In the end he paid with his life for his
extraordinary unselfiShness and courage
Practically the last vestige of his per-
sonal belongings has disappeared with
the sale of the medals. But his debts
are paid, and he leaves as his monu-
ment growing legend Of great achieves

has been filing up with men and WON
en- distinguished in one Of the fields OF
intellectual service, who decided that
the banks OF the Potomac are an ideal
habitat.
Today's news announces the forth
coming arrival, as q more or less per-
manent resident, of a worthy addition
to these widening ranks. Col. Lind
bergh has accepted appointment as
technical adviser to the aeronautics
branch of the Department Of Com
merce. Secretary Whiting announces
that the ace of all hearts has agreed
to hold himself in readiness to respond
to any call the department makes upon
him. "Lindy" is prepared to advise or
personally assist the Government in all
phases of it's regulation of civil avia-
ton, the establishment of airports and
Always, research and prevention of &C.
cidentS.
All hope that the calls to service will
be so numerous and so urgent that
Col. Lindbergh may find it necessary
henceforward to call Washington, D. c.,
his home port. He was reared here
while his father was in Congress. He
came here first of all after return
from his epochal conquest of the At
lantic. His first love of the air was the
air mail He is an officer in the Army
Air Service.
Now, again as civil servant Of the
Union, "Lindy" is affiliated in a new
with the Government he has
already served so CALAMITY. His legion
of admirers in this latitude hope that
the colonel will decide that Washington
Is his natural residence in the future.

Washington Then and Now,

It is a frequent exercise of the
imagination to attempt to conceive
what certain of the great men of the
past would have done in the circum-
stances Of the present. How, for an in
stance, would George Washington have
conducted himself in these immediate
conditions of life, with the modern
facilities for communication, the adj
vantages of transport, all the conven-
fences that science has provided? Would
he have borne himself differently, as
President of the United States? Would
he have held different views regarding
foreign relations? Would he have main
tanned a different economic policy?
No one can, of course, answer such
Questions with any degree of assurance
that the result Of the query conforms
to the probability. No one can deter
mine what any human being who was
related to the past would do if placed
in the present. But it is possible to an
swer with confidence that there would
have been no change of character, no
shift of principles, no slackening of
moral fiber in the case of such a man
as Washington, or such man, for an
other example, as Lincoln, If environed
by the accommodations of today.
To adopt the Einstein expression,
such speculations are merely expert
ments in relatively. The human orbit
through life is no different, in essentials,
under the influences of modern develop
ments Of science than it was in earlier
times. Life is at once today more SIM
pie and more complex. There are adj
vantages of transport, of communica-
ton, of perception in the sense of
quicker understanding Of distant facts
and conditions. There are greater COM
forts Of life. But there is no change in
the relative association of men, in the
relative association Of nations. For all
have gone forward together. all are
together enjoying these betterments.
George Washington would have been
hs dominant q figure In present times
rs in the years of his life. He would
have been the master spirit in the days
of steam railroads, Of motor cars, Of
Airplanes, Of telegraph, telephone and
radio, as In the days of the stage coach
and the pony post. He would have seen
the conditions Of his fellow citizens
with as clear vision, with as sure q
Judgment.
1t may be said that with modern
facilities for communication there would
Lave been no American Revolution, or
at least no warfare In the separation of
the colonies from England. It may be
said that with peaceful separation Of
the colonies there would have been no
call for the military services of WASH
ington. Hence, perhaps, there would
have been no Washington the states
man. That is all beside the mark. His
tory cannot be written backward. BIZ
ograpfy cannot be compiled in terms OF
reversed circumstances.
The major thought to be borne In
mind on the anniversary Of the birth
Of George Washington is that he did his
full duty that he led his fellow Ameri-
cans through the first stages Of indie
pendent national existence. that he met
the circumstances Of his time with cour-
age. with sagacity and with practical
idealism. He would have done the same
in any circumstances, in any environ
ment, in any stage Of cultural develop
ment.
