MEANS OF AVOIDING
WAR ARE DISCUSSED

Means of avoiding disputes or irri-
tations which might eliminate in wal
before the machinery for prosecution OF
war is completed were discussed by four
separate groups Of members Of the Com
n1ittee on the Cause and Cure of War
meeting today in the Washington Hotel
The specific questions before the four
groups we're: What possible disputes
or irritations may cause war before the
machinery for prevention of war is
completed? How may such possibil-
tiles be avoided?"
Nye Is Among Speakers.
The four groups, headed by Miss Amy
G.. Maher, Mrs. L. Emmett Holt, Mrs.
r. P. Mason and Miss Louisa K. Fast,
spent the morning in the discussion OF
the various phases of these points.
This afternoon the committee was
hearing three speakers-Dr. John Hol-
laday Latane of Johns Hopkins Uni
versity on THE League of Nations"
Prof Joseph P. Chamberlain of Co.
lumbia University on The World Court
and Arbitration Treaties" and Sena-
tor Gerald P. Nye on International
Consequence of Outlawing War"
This afternoons session was pre-
sided over by Mrs. Ella A. Boole,
president of the National Women's
Christian Temperance Union.
DR.. Latane pointed out that while
the League of Nations is a lusty, grow
ing infant, after 10 years of stress and
storm, the most important problem
which the League SO far has failed to
solve is that of disarmament.

ing to reduce their ornaments until
they have reasonable sense Of Sc
curity. and they are not going to feel
secure until the machinery for the
pacific settlement of disputes has been
more fully developed We can not be-
sequence is arbitration or some form of
pacific settlement, security and then
disarmament"
He stressed that there is no agency
provided in the Paris peace pact for de-
Gliding, in case Of war, whether either
or both parties have violated their SOL
emn pledge and no right is established
on the part of signatories to warn other
SignatorieS against contemplated re-
sort to hostilities.
While public opinion, so far as it is
reflected in official circles, is set against
the formal entrance of the United States
by year cooperating more fully in the
various activities of the League. In fact,
we are participating in most OF the
important work of the League with the
exception Of the Council and the AS

Owing to public demand for some
months past, the administrator, Senior
Marco Aurelio Llamas, has arranged for
the electric illumination of our princi-
pal metropolis, the General Cemetery
Unfortunately, many people find it in
convenient to visit the cemetery in the
daytime and have not been able to
ind their way about there at night on
account of the obscurity The lighting
service at present does not illuminate
the grounds until o'clock, which is
matter to be remedied, as the greater
number OF people desire to visit the sa-
cred precincts between twilight and g.
but Senior Llamas will correct this de-
feet, and the public is very grateful
to him for his efforts in assuring such
a notable betterment in their oppor-
tunity to honor the departed.

Crimes Outside of Washington.

In the reckoning of the criminal
record of Washington, by those who
contend that the District is an incom-
parably law-breaking community, care
must be taken to differentiate between
! the lawlessness manifested within the
confines of the Capital and that which
occurs outside, within other juriSdic-
tons. For example, there is the street
car hold-up early Monday morning,
which took place in Maryland, about a
mile beyond the boundary. This theft,
bold and skilled operation, falls under
the range of the States police activities
and does not pertain to the District,
even though the money that was taken
was headed for Washington and II not
lifted" by the thieves would shortly
have been in a strong-box within the
District OF course the District police
will cooperate with those of Maryland
in the pursuit Of the thieves, but the
responsibility for detection and punish
ment rests upon the neighbor State.
In just the same way numerous
felonies are committed within the area
surrounding Washington which are
looked upon indiscriminatingly as 10
| CAL" as affecting Washington and as
calling for the of1cial action of the
District police. Recently q hideous
crime was perpetrated q short distance
| beyond the District line in Maryland,
bomb exploding and taking three lives.
The District police aided in handling
the case, but only in an advisory capac-
ity. The crime has not been solved. 1t
stands as one of the mysteries" 1t
should not be included in the list that
was mentioned the other day in the
course of a discussion in the Senate.
Yesterday mornings hold-up was evil
IDENTIFY planned on the basis of intimate
knowledge of the manner in which
funds have heretofore been transported
IN the early hours from car barn to
city. 1t is quite evident now, after the
fact, that this is a very unsafe way Of
handling cash. And it would seem that
nobody has heretofore thought that
there was any risk in using a street
car, In passenger service, as a money
wagon. Presumably this method will
not be continued. 1t is through such
expensive experiences that progress is
made toward security.

Dragging in Politics.

Senator Norris of Nebraska, chairman
of the Senate judiciary committee, yes
terday opposed the appointment of
Charles Evans Hughes to be Chief JUS
tice on two grounds. First, because Mr..
Hughes has engaged In politics and may
be politically minded. Second, because
Mr.. Hughes has represented as an attor-
ney many large corporate businesses in
cases before the Supreme Court. Mr.,
Norris apparently believes that Mr..
Hughes believes In big business. The
Senator from Nebraska is entitled TO
his own opinions. But it appears that
he is himself dragging politics into the
Senate action on the nomination OF
Chief Justice Of the Supreme Court to
an unprecedented degree.
Mr.. Norris is q Progressive in politics
He writes himself a Republican, but he
is not bound by party Affiliations. II
there was a Progressive party in this
country Senator Norris would be
shining member, or could be II he de-
sired. His ideas of government differ
from those of Mr.. Hughes. In othei
words, he is politically opposed to the
eminent leader of the American bar
who has been nominated to be Chiei
Justice. His suggestion that MIR. Hughes
Is not entitled to appointment to thu
bench because Mr.. Hughes has engaged
in politics will ind little sympathy ir
America.
Chief Justice Taft, now retired, was
in politics. He was elected President
of the United States by the Republican
party. The Chief Justice who imme-
diately preceded Mr.. Taft. the late
Edward Douglass White, was in politics
before he became a member OF the
Supreme Court, serving as a Senator Of
the United States from Louisiana. MOI

@. Is it necessary that vacancies
which occur at West Point be Allied?
When is the next examination?-
r. A. M.
A. 1t is not compulsory to fill the
places of the cadets who were dismissed
from the United States Military Acad-
envy. The examinations for entrance 20
the United States Military Academy are
held on the first Tuesday in March.
This year the date of examination falls
on March 4.
@. Has Easter Island disappeared
r. C.
A. Contrary to reports published at
the time, Easter Island was not de-
stroyed in an earthquake. 1t is still In
existence.
O. Does the gray squirrel eat lead on
telephone poles?-C. r. C.
A. The Biological Survey says that
gray squirrels do not gnaw lead sheaths
on telephone or telegraph cables. Rats,
however, will gnaw them.
@. How does it happen that a certain
place on a boat Is called a state room?
H r.
A. DR.. Vizetelly says that the evolu-
ton of the word "stateroom" may be
cited as follows: Cabin, state cabin
stateroom. The term "stateroom" was
taken over from the British Navy
There is a note in Pepys' Diary which
gives a clue to this april "a, 1660)
Very pleasant we were on board the
London, which hath a State-room much
bigger than the Nazeby, but not so
rich" Another evidence of this use is
to be found in the London Gazette for
1894, No. 2, 982: THE Yacht having lost
in this encounter but three men, who
were killed by one great shot in the
state-room." BY the time the Han
overian Kings were on the throne OF
England the term "stateroom" was thor
oughly established in the language, for
Smollett used it in Frederick Random, "
which was published In 1748: "A cabin
was made for him contiguous to the
state-room where Whine slept"
@. Is Mount Popocatepetl mountain
that can be clinlbed?-J. MICA.
A. The height of Mount Popocatepetl
is 1888 feet. The ascent of the vol
cano is made on the northeastern slope,
where there are rough roads which are
kept open greater part of the year
At an elevation of about 14,5O0 feet
horses are left behind. Diego de Ordaz
was probably the first European to make
the ascent. Other exploration trips were
made In April and November, 1927, in
1884 and 1848. In 1905 the Mexican
geological survey spent two days on the
slope.
@. Why was Mo. made the abbrevia-
ton for Missouri?-M. C.
A. This was taken because any other
abbreviation would be likely to become
confused with an abbreviation for
Mississippi.
c. How tall Is the Venus de Milo?-

A. The Venus de Milo is 2 meters SO
millimeters, or a little over 8 feet 8
inches, tall.

Evening News, cooperation from Con-
greSs as we'll as State legislation. The
body OF statute laws and judicial de-
cisionS resting on the due process
clause in the Federal Constitution still
is very confused and i'll co-ordinated.
The entire subject may be opened be-
fore this agitation which the telephone
cases have aroused is terminated
Considering the Federal requirements
in the matter. the Baltimore Sun says
so long as it is established that the
Federal Constitution grants utilities
protection against being deprived OF
their property without due process of
law, and as long as the United States
Supreme Court, ultimate authority on
the meaning of that phrase, holds that
such protection requires that the utili-
ties be allowed to charge rates that
yield a reasonable return upon a rea-
Sonable valuation of the property de-
voted to the public service, all disputes
on utility rates must ultimately be set
tied by that court
Regardless OF what legislation NAV
be passed by Congress-" according to
the Newark Evening News, sit Is doubt
1ul II the avenue OF appeal to Federal
courts can be closed. A constitutional
right stands in the way. The real DUR
pose or the movement to curb Federal
interference in State utility rate cases
should be to compel the utilities to
avail themselves OF processes in State
courts before appealing to the Federal
courts. Another relief would be deci-
SionS by the Federal courts more in line
with sound regulation. Regulation is
not an exact science, and few judges

cac1es OF accountancy which distinguish

hinge upon what Is considered a fair

the problems entering the subject of

ne entered upon long list of important
executive ofiices, concluding with the
presidency. Mr.. White was an associate
justice of the Supreme Court of
louisiana before he was elected Sena-
tor. 1t is not of record that the
supreme Court has lost in mster or
gained the reputation of being ruled by
partisan politics through the appoint
ment Of either MIR. Taft OF Mr.. White
to be Chief Justice.
Mr.. Hughes, it Is true, has since he
was member of that court been en-
ployed as attorney by many big inter-
ests having cases before the Supreme
Court. His eminence In the law has
been the reason. The suggestion that
his employment might have influenced
the members of the Supreme Court for
any other reason than through the
correct presentation of the law involved
in case is insulting to the members
of the court,
The record of Mr.. Hughes, first in
politics and as Governor OF New York,
then on the Supreme Court, and again
in politics and private life, has been
impeccable and beyond reproach. Never
has there been a breath of scandal in
connection with him. On the cLner
hand, his services to his State and to
his country have been of great value.
1t is altogether natural that Senator
Norris would prefer to have appointed
as Chief Justice a man who has MS
own political ideas of government. He
would prefer to have such q man Presi-
dent of the United States. But it docs
not follow that his opposition to the
confirmation of Mr.. Hughes is we'll
founded. He admits that Mr.. Hughes
is well qualified, because of his knowl-
edge of the law, to hold the high Office
to which he has been appointed. The
country believes that MIR. Hughes Is
qualified in every way TO perform his
duty as Chief Justice, relying on the
law as his guide and not on politics.

generation expressed by q sonorous
sentence. Take, as mild example, the
word damn" now apparently coming
into good usage again.
This leads to the possible considers
ton that the change from generation to
generation is not so much change in
moral viewpoints as a change in the
meaning which society at large agrees
to attribute to certain symbols.
If, for some reason or other, there
should be a consensus that the word
green" was immoral, it would become
immoral, school room dictionaries from
long usage would open almost auto
matieally to the page containing it, i'm
plicati would be attached to 1t
totally different from anything it now
implies, and the book in which it was
used would be liable to censorship.
Words are defined rather sharply in
the dictionary. But in the popular
mind they imply from time to time
thought habit. Perhaps we are in a
process of transition from one thought
habit to another, in which great
many words are undergoing the same
change in implied meaning which has
taken place-for example, in the word
leg" a term which two generations
ago a decent lady would hardly have
used in describing symptoms TO her
physician. Leg" does not mean quite
the same thing now as it did then.
These changes in the meanings, OF
rather in the moral implications, OF
words from time to time may or may
not be an important element in the
apparently changing morality of liter
allure. But critics and censors should
not altogether neglect it.
The morality of the use of a word
may have to be judged by what it
meant to the writer and what it will
mean to the ma jority of the readers,
rather than what it would have meant
to Alfred Tennyson or Henry Wads-
worth Longfellow.
Can anything be found in current
literature, with all its frank use of Ian
guage, SO grossly immoral as many of
the ideas expressed by Swinburne in
the sonorous purity of language Of the
Victorians? But who would suggest
barring Swinburne for immortality?
