McALLEN. Aug. 30-CR-Two mi

suit OF the rank growth Of weeds
on vacant lots in McAllen have call
ed to the attention of McAllen citi-
zens the fact that unless a clean ur

lately a raising OF McAllen's insur-

City Fire Marshal ". j. Eckle-

IN McAlien in urging local property
owners TO take the matter into their

Thursday afternoon the fire de-

was answered Friday morning to
another residence where the flames

Dispute Between France
And Germany Over Saar
Basin Far From Settled

compromise which was accepted.
The Saar coal mines were to be
made the absolute property OF
France. The Saar would be taken
from German rule and pleced un-
der the League OF Nations. It
would be ruled by a commission OF
five to be named by the League,
one to be a Frenchman, one to be
a resident OF the Saar, not "a
French citizen. and three to be Of
neutral countries. At the end OF
Is years there was TO be q plebis-
cite to determine whether the Saar
or part Of 1t should continue un-
der the League Of Nations, Join
France, or rejoin Germany. In this
plebiscite Of 1885 all people OF 20
or over. who were citizens of the
Saar when the treaty was adopted,
should have q vote.
Under this ARRANGEMENT the
French have developed the coal
mines to N high state Of efficiency.
They have also developed a con-
siderable metallurgical industry In
the Saar. Moreover, they have
closely knit up Saar coal with the
metallurgical industry Of Lorraine,
have exported Saar coal to Belgium
and Luxembourg, and have largely
relied upon Saar coal for light,
heat and electricity in Paris. To
sunder this tie would now be like
a very delicate surgical operation.
Vote to Decide Issue
But the Germans have been
pressing for this very thing. They
point out that with the Withdraw

fact that for more than g 100 years
1t had been German and that the
Germans predominated there in
enormous numbers.
Wanted to Control Mines
But their real, honest-to-good-
ness reason for wanting the Saar
was economic. After the war of
1870, when Germany licked France,
IL took away Lorraine and Alsace.
The Germans combined the iron
ore OF Lorraine with the inexhaus-
tible coal supplies Of the Saar and
lurgical industry. With Lorraine
and its ore once more French,
France wanted the Saar coal. The
coal mines Of the Saar were the
joint property Of Prussia and
Bavaria. The French said they
could easily be coded by those
states.
They demanded this cession as
.reparation for the enormous dam
age the Germans had wrought in
the coal mining regions Of north
srn France. President Wilson de-
clared at once there was nothing
doing. When France stated its war
claims. 1t had referred To It's
frontiers Of 1870, not Of 1914. Fur
thermore. such annexation would
violate the principle Of nationality
and self-determination of peoples
and would hand over a population
overwhelmingly German TO the
French and thus create a new
Alsace-Lorraine.
Wilson Denied Plea
The French then proposed either
that the Saar be made into an
independent state. but within the
French customs union, or made r
political entity under the League

FIRE DESTROYS

With Flames

WASHINGTON, Aug. 30.-R-
Twenty-Five firemen were injured,
iour seriously in a spectacular fire
Today which destroyed many valua-
ole records as it swept through
headquarters Of the Federal Trade
commission.
Most Of the men hurt had minor
cuts and bruises or were overcome
by smoke. Physicians said the
quartet who remained in hospitals
sor treatment probably would
recover.
Most OF the city's fire fighting
apparatus was called out and 1t was
almost three hours before the
flames were under control. Gov
eminent officials would not at
tempt TO estimate the damage TO
the structure or commission files.
Some Of the papers lost dealt
with the commissions investigation
OF public utility power companies.
but a determination Of the extent
Of the damage in this file awaited
a check Of records taken from the
building.
The commissions offices were
housed in one of the flimsy struc-
lures erected for temporary use
during the war. 1t offered choice
fuel and although the walls were
left standing the roof collapsed in
many places and the interior was
totally wrecked.
The cause Of the fire was
unknown Spontaneous combustion
was advanced as a possible cause,
or a carelessly flung cigarette butt.
A commission official said the
records OF the commissions invest

Federal Work Here.

The Federal Government, by speeding
I'D work on various local building prof.
ects already under way, can do much
to alleviate whatever unemployment
distress exists in Washington.
Lieut.. Col. U. S. Grant, Sd, director
Of the National Capital Park and Plan
ming Commission, plans to submit this
suggestion to the Presidents unemploy-
ment conference this week. 1t will be
feasible, he holds, to expend an appro-
priation of approximately $4,000
Immediately on the Arlington Memorial
Bridge and in the development Of Rock
Creek and Potomac Parkway. The
greater part of this money would be
expended in payrolls.
Col. Grants idea is in line with Presi-
dent Hoover's suggestion to the country
at large. Expenditure on public works
in times Of depression is sound way
for the Government TO help. It-eannot
be expected to wipe out unemployment
altogether, but it may constitute a po-
tent force toward sterilization of local
business. Such a movement is cumula-
tive. Mechanics at work on public
projects have money to spend for both
necessities and luxuries, the making and
handling CT which provide jobs for
others. It may be that only q little
thing Is needed to turn the tide.
The Government, of course, would get
full value for its money. The work is
to be done. The money is to be appro-
priated and spent. Why wait until q
return of national prosperity, when
there are plenty Of jobs and satisfactory
labor is hard to secure?
washington, Of course, is not key
point in the unemployment situation.
Probably distress has touched this city
more lightly than any other community
of comparable size in the country. The
stable Federal payroll prevents any
very serious upset in the business situa-
ton. Just how many are out Of jobs
here is debatable. Nevertheless, the de-
preston Is felt. Jobless men frequently
are encountered on the streets and the
relief agencies have been carrying a
much heavier burden than usual. Any
thing that can be done viii be welcome.
Washington has the work to be done
and, just now, plenty of men who need
the work. 1t would be rather ironic to
delay doing it until nobody really needs
to do it. After all, depressions are NOT
due to lack of work, but to inequable
distribution of work in time-due to
mysterious economic laws. Anything
done to smooth the curve is a notable
contribution toward a solution Of the
whole problem.

In Uncle Sans Service.

To serve Uncle Sam faithfully, intel
ligently, efficiently should be glory for
any American citizen. To deserve and
receive promotion for work well done in
the public service should bring gratifl-
cation and exaltation, not only to have
merited advancement, but to realize
that the eye of fellow man has been
pronounced, We'll done, thou good and
faithful servant!"
Such feelings must surge in the
breasts of many Government employees
who through long years of faithful, de-
voted, specialized service have won sue
cessive advancementS to positions Of
greater trust, responsibility and oppor-
tunity for larger service to fellow man.
Just now there is a particular pro-
motion that illustrates how a young
man who goes to work for Uncle Sam,
if he be ambitious, if he puts his heart
into his duties, if he finds qualification
in doing something to better the lot of
his fellow beings, will win advancement
and eventually be selected for some OUT
standing important work that brings
him with commentator into public
recognition.
John H. Bethune, a native Of vote
less, disenfranchised Washington, after
graduating from the public schools, vol
unteered in the Spanish-American War,
and then for 28 successive years has
served Uncle Sam in many important
positions with both the legislative and
executive branches Of the Government.
Now Mr.. Bethune has been chosen to
be the first resident representative Of
the Tariff Commission in Europe, with
headquarters in Brussels, who will act
as an ambassador of business good will
in Strengthening out tangles and mis-
understandings regarding tariff matters.
The Nations Capital may well feel
proud Of this native son.
