COMMUNITY SERVICE CONTINUED. rrivatA uubscripiiona to tho tuim of 2. 000,000 U,vc been pledged in the it.itp of Connecticut to t-ontlnue in time nf pt1 th" '"nniP Community Service which was ouch a tremendous factor in prrsrvine tho happmrss and morals of American poldlers lurin tho war. The work no longer will ho confined to camp, but will be carried on more generally, wherever conditions seem to iridic? I that it is needed. The lines followed in the Camp Community Service will be the basis of this creaier undertaking, but they will be broadened ard added to. the ida btdn to pive- anybody who ned them ?uch opportunities for ?tud and healthful entertainment as were provided for the soldiers. Educational courts covering evrythinef from art to floriculture will be conducted. Social entertainments and athletics will play a larpc part in the fchemP. "Cive men and women somr-thintr to do that they like to do, make them f-"l that they brlonK. and are needed, and vou will not need to hire secret service men to find out what they are doing, nor soldiers to shoot down their red Hags." says one backer of the scheme. It is hoped by fri.-nds of the Wnr Camp Community Service, that the movement begun in Connecticut may spread throughout the country. Undoubtedly it' will, meeting with the same generous support everywhere For the value of properly conducted work and play, made easily accessible, bocam apparent to every thoughtful person who watched its intluen e upon the men in our camps, and there should . e a very general feeling that th practical knowled-e gained in community service during the war is ton valuable a thing to be lost.

A VEGETABLE SHORTAGE. City folk everywhere have wondered this year at th? high cost of vegetables. Th phenomenon has not neemed fully explained by the peneral causes known to be operating to rai-p price-levels. Dollars may b "cheaper. ' ami dealers may have new, extortionate standards of profit but still, why should freh vegetables, seasonable and home-grown, cost so much? One fact which may help to explain the situation is given by coup.ty agricultural agent. He comments on the unplaced nted ditlieulty of getting skilled laborers for farming and cardenin. Where men are obtainable at all. he says, they are mostly inexperienced, because the .liest farm-hands have fcpno into the city lactones. The result is that many farmers who formerly did considerable ruck-irardenins have been forced to abandon their irdtns, and even to plow garden crops under, and turn their attention to prain and other crops which require less skilled help. The resultlnc shortage natu:-all snds vegetable prices up. It would probib'y be found that this condition exists in nearly ewry community. And it is a condition which is likely to persist next year unless means can be found to provide proper man-power for the truck-gHdt ru.

AGAINI THE POLICE PROBE AND THE CHIEF'S OATHS. Well, tonight :s the nicht when Patrolman Hert Miller Is to ham irom the board of public safety, whether be is cuiK. or n-t guilty; is t be made the "goat" for the U.-app aram e of all that li i'Jor from the city hall, which Chief Kline in his petitions to the superior, circuit and appellate courts, to sav-1 his "American prid " from being taken away, swore had never been touched. It was uueer enough that rl.'ht on the ht Is i f .uch strenuous :Y.)rts to keep hat luiv.or. the i.rd of safety should turn the whole thing face about, givinc the chief the lie. asse rting that liquor h id di ippeared. and determining to make s-cuoeone. whether the rieht one or not. sutler for the d:s i ;pt arane. Hence the char-re acainst Patrolman Miler. and hence the faro; .il hearing eien him las: Friday r.lvht. the te.t!mM:y b inc taken under adviement until ton:ght. What that ' ad iera :.f means nobody knows, but it is a safe let th it the board will not rind it "advisable" to turn the patrolman loose.

police tation if every pollromnn in the departTnnt has to b placed on the stand. Th board of safety has !h power to call these mn and others, if necessary, and if should do its duty to th letter. Policeman Miller knows or doe not know all about the pump and how ah 1 when it was used ami by whom. If he knows he owe if to the public from which he draws hi salary to clarify the atmophcre and to assist in making the police department what It oucht to be. If he is actually innocent he should be aMe to present facts that will be more convincing than any statements that have yet become public "The present in vesticra tion should he the initial efiort of tne board of safety in a general eleming out of the police department. The board oucht to rid itself of every man in the department "who dt s not measure up to the high requirements of complete efheiency. When a (itin can quietly enter the automobile room of the police station and drive out the city's automobiles, as h.:.' been done, it is time the board made a strong and successful drive for et!icieny and discipline. If it is true confiscated liquor disappears from the storage room it is time for a cleaning out of the thieves who take this liquor. The entire situation is too serious for the board to pass by with the semblance of an investigation or with an investigation that will accomplish nothing." Which is all very good doctrine, including even, homo thlnRs that we have had In mind, as for instance ascertaining where the liquor went to that Chief Kline himself took from the station of course, if any: took in a b.sket. The board might probe the disappearance of .i looking glass, as well as the disappearance of booze, and ascertain, if possible, whose wauon it is that has now and then been making the rounds of certain patrolmen's homes and deliveiing them supplies from the municipal "bull pen." The only thing is that we are afraid that if the board gets too "rs mbunctuous" in pursuing the (lean-up that our contemporary suggests, there will be no police department left, and mayhap, no hoard of safety either. but still the main question! Why all this humbug about the disappearance of liquor, and the turning of it into water, etc.. when Chief Kline has thrice made oath to the courts, that all these charges ;tre untrue. Does the board of safety also doubt his word; does the mayor? Do they know better. f course, we suppose the chief acted. as the lawyers would say, "advisedly;" probably for the protection of someon and now when it comes time to "cough up and they haven't got it to "cough," why to be Mire, it was Miller or they don't know who did it, and, mayhap, they didn't rind out until afterward. "Safe place for liquor?" Oh, yes. More injunctions, and more wnts of prohibition to prohibit prohibition, please!

a i,oih;i: in a vii,I)i;km:ss. ( IouU illo Courier-Journal.) nno of the mnt recent of the many moves which Sen. 1odge has made in his diligent work of obf.tructinc the ratification of the peace treaty is to inter into correspc ndence with ofllcials of the British government, lie has taken occasion to spread Information of his action and to cite in support of some of his own piofessions in the matter some of the nrltl-n views which he hvm he aneernined through hic correspondence. It would be interesting If with this information he would Impart additional information explaining in just what function he conducted that correspondence. Otherwise there might be some who would tind it diflicult to understand why this section of ihe revised statute: of he Cnited States does' not. fcpply to his case: "Every citizen of the Tnilcd States, whether actually resident or abiding within the same, or in any foreign country, who, without the permission or ttuthority of the 'covernment, directly or indirectly, commences or carries on any verbal or written correspondence or intercourse with any foreign government, or any ollicer or agent thereof, with an intent to influence the measures or conduct of any foreign governnien", or of any officer or agent thereof, in relation to any disputes, or controversies with the tinted States, ot to defeat the measures of the government of the Cnited States shall be punished 1 y a fine of not more than C0' anil by imprisonment dm ing a term not less than six months, nor more than three years." Sen. Lodge dees rot say he entered into this correspondence with "the authority of tue government direetly or indirectly." Xo doubt he would spurn such authority evci were it tendered him; and as it has been announced at the white house that the government knows nothing whatever of the matter it is pretty clear that the government has had no thought of tendering him the authority. Mr. IxbJge's action is all th- more mystifying because he has recently disclosed some peculiar views of the relations of a United States senator to the thief executive. He has expressly declined an invitation by the president to discuss with him the peace treaty on the ground that senators individually should engage in such discussions with the president and that anything which that functionary may care to say on the subject should be said to the senate hs a whole. It is true that Mr. Iodge nuirt have held different iews last February when he p.cc-pted a similar Invitation to the white house to discuss with the president the covenant of the Ifgu? of Nations; but he months have passed since February and Mr. Idge has very conclusively demonstrated that he can change his views several times in a

shorter period .thin five months.

It is only fair.

progress should

therefore. to asume that the set of views announced a few days ago are his viewy until he publicly announces their substitution by another ret. It is apparent, then, that h has carried on this correspondence with cffirüls of the Itritish government without the authorization of our government nnd certainly not r-s the United States ' senate os a whole, but simply as Henry Cabot Iodge an individual, at mot as an Individual United State senator. It does not seem, in the circumstances, that it would .require much of a lawyer to make a case against him. Still it Is not likely that Mr- Lodge will be prosecuted under the statute quoted. It is not at all desirable that he shorld be. Mr. Lodge is doing a notable service in exposing from many- angles the animus of most of the senatorial opposition to the League of Nations. Most certainlv the democrats would grieve to se .- Mr. Lodge haled off to prison. He can be of most alue to them ncht where he is. as bader of their opponents in the senate. They would ko on his bail for any amount rather than suffer deprivation of his resourceful arid tireless activities by dungeon walls.

LOCAL IUI I : VITT IIS. Max Adler s mother-in-law gets up every morning before breakfast to read The Tower of Habel. If there is any advantage In being r column conductor, that's it.

The Horoscope

S.TUi:iAV. Al f;. 2The astral influences for this day are of a te'cidtvlly contradictory nature, with powerful benignant forces offset by menacing malefic vibrations. The threatening impulse vibrates from the parallel and conjunct of Sol and Neptune, a baneful aspect bringing eianger from fraud, treachery, deception and malicious ana subtle attack. Also Jupiter, under square aspect with the Moon, bodes no good for gain er financial advantage. Affairs will be stirring, however, with the old order broken up and new enterprises opening faorably if the adverse- positions are guarded against. In domestic and hvart affairs and in social activities the day shoubl be a pleasant one. Those whose birthday it is may turn the year to good advantage by guarding against fraud and deception, nnd running no risks financially. A child born on this day will be clever, dependable, studious, affectionate, but restless, impressionable and extravagant.

long dispute in executive session, re- j publican members of the house waysj

and meir.s committee decided Thursday by a divided vote to recommend passage of a bill providing for a licensing board to control dye imports, as well as to levy a high tariff on all foreign dyetuffs permitted to come into the country. The board would consist of three

representatives of the dye industry,, seven representatives of consumers and a chairman selected by the 10 1 other members. The life of the! hoard was limited to two years by!

the bill. Reps, llocre. Pennsylvania: Youne, N". Dakota; Rowers. West Virginia; and Mott. New York, opposed any 11cennini? svtm. und irn exjer'tJ tv

submit a minority report. Their opposition was said to have led to an agreement not to attempt passage of the bill until the fall. Chairman Fordney alo wns said to oppose the licensing system, but he did not join in voting against the provision, because of willingness to abide with majority sentiment. ; The republicans who favored the bill with the licensing system were; Rep.
