Changes in the General Staff, U. S. A.

WASHINGTON.— U pon the retirement of General Perahiug as chief of staff, U. S. 1 A., and the succession of Maj. Gen. John L. Hines, Brig. Gen. Dennis E. Nolan, assistant chief of staff In charge of the supply section of the general staff, succeeds as deputy chief of staff, according to announcement of Secretary Weeks. Appointment of General Hines will make no change In his rank, and General Nolan will take up his duties as deputy chief as a brigadier general. The rank of general of the armies was conferred upon General Pershing by congress as a special mark of appre- = elation for his services in the war. • General Nolan was chief of the military intelligence of the A. E. F. throughout all of the operations in France. He was decorated for valorfor conduct while assigned in September, 1918, to command the Fiftyfifth brigade. Twenty-eighth division. Taking over the post while the unit was hotly engaged near Apremont. General Nolan “made his way Into the town of Apremont and personally directed the movements • of his tanks under a most harassing fire of enemy machine guns, rifles and artillery."

Capital Plagued by Too Many Autos

f , XTENSION to a greater part of “ Ia the city of the time-limit restriciFj tion on the parking of automobiles in the downtown section is under consideration by officials. Report on the proposal has been asked of the District traffic board by the District commissioners. The board _ has been asked for recommendations for changes in parking and other traffic regulations. Faced with a growing number of complaints from residents in streets Just outside the so-called congested zone that they are unable to get to the curb in front of their homes because of automobiles left parked in front of their homes all day. officials have come to the belief that ridding the congested zone of longtime parking will not solve the probIlem with which they are faced. They are convinced that an automobile owner has not the right to occupy indefinitely space on a street to the Inconvenience of occupants of the residence or business house in front of

Unpatriotic Propaganda in U. S. Schools?

T lERE Is no necessity for the general public to become excited ibout unpatriotic propaganda seeping into the schools of the United States. Milton Fairchild, chairman of the Character Etlucatlon institution, says in a reply to a letter sent out by Mrs. Anthony Wayne Cook, president general of the Daughters of the American Revolution. Mrs. Cook warned state regents of Her organization against the “activities of those who are knowingly and deliberately disloyal to our government »nd, our political institutions,” but Mr. Fairchild asserted that the school authorities were competent to handle the •ondition, and that it was impossible for disloyal activities or propaganda to get a start in’the schools. “The hoards of education,” he said, ‘are made up of trustworthy citizens, superintendents and supervisors over the body of teachers." In her letter Mrs. Conk said the ’Youth Movement” aimed at the heart of “our most sacred and moral foundations and will. If promulgated In our secondary schools and colleges, aim t< destroy the moral fiber of our girls and boys. “Pacifist groups.” she declared, "have even invaded our schools with

Washington, a “City of False Fronts”?

I IT’S the customary thing to toss bouquets at Washington, says Harry B. Hunt, in the Chicago Evening Post. "Perhaps It’s a sort of obligation to stick up for our national capital that leads writers here to stress the undisputed beauty that does exist in many of tbe public buildings, the parks and in certain of the more select residential districts. And, as it is these beauty spots that •re always emphasized on the attention of visitors viewing the town, they •Iso catch something of tbe booster spirit and go away discoursing on “beautiful Washington.” But no city, not even Washington, jeserves all bouquets. Brickbats also are in order. And. considering the faet that it is the national capital and should be the ideal municipality of the nation. Washington is deserving of as many brickbats as the average basy •nd begrimed industrial city of our hundreds of mucb-maligned “Main Street" towns. Washington is. mentally and physically, a city of false fronts. There Is

Japan as Factor in American Progress

OFFICIAL Washington Is discussing with interest the recent lecture of Dr. Yusuke Tsurumi. one of Japan's young political leaders, before thee Institute of Politics at Williamstown, Mass. "Ten or twenty years from now Japan will be one of the greatest—perhaps the greatest—of all outside factors affecting American progress," said Doctor Tsurumi. •Tradition, geography and irresistible social nnd political forces support this statement.” he said. "America and Japan, on the opposite shores of a vast ocean, stand now upon the threshold of a new era—the Pacific era." Doctor Tsurumi referred to the words “grave consequences" need by the Japanese ambassador. Hanihara, In connection with the immigration set They were. In his opinion, the "exact truth." He spoke of war as a menace to civilization. He said we must not only make we of such agencies as the League of Nations and the Washington conference tn the prevention of war,

Because of his value as chief of intelligence, at the conclusion of thia action General Nolan returned to his regular assignment as chief of that branch of the A. E. F. staff. Dennis Edward Nolan was born in 1872 at Akron. N. T.. and was graduated from the United States Military academy in 1896. He was in the battle of El Caney in the Spanish-Amert can war. He was in the Philippines. 1901-2. and 1906-11 and In Alaska. 1912-13. He received the D. S. M. in 1918 "for organizing and administering lhe intelligence service": the D. S. C. “for conduct in action at Apremont." and the Croix de Guerre with palm (French), in 1901 he married Julia Grant Sharp of Duluth, Minn. General Hines has had a brilliant career and was decorated during the war with the Distinguished Service Cross for valor and the Distinguished Sen-ice Medal awarded for efficiency He wa» General Pershing’s adjutant general during the punitive expedition into Mexico in 1916-17, and accompanied him to France. loiter he was ! transferred to command a regiment and successively promoted to brigade. \ division, and corps commander ‘on account of efficiency on the field of buttle.”

which he irnrks. Owners or occupants have first call on use of the streets immediately in front of their property. There, however, definite conclusions end. The several remedies that have j been advanced, including development j of public parking spaces, erection of a large downtown central garage by the District, widening of streets wherever possible to provide parking space at i the expense of the width of sidewalk space allowed pedestrians and front yards, have been laid before the traffic board. “Tlie question seems to me to have I resolved itself into whether we shall ’ continue to permit hundreds of (ter- ■ sons to drive downtown each day and leave their automobiles parked all duy on the streets.” Engineer Commission er Bell said. "If not. what provision should the city make to provide public parking spaces? if we simply drive the parked automobiles outside the congested zone we immediately create another congested zone around it.”

their doctrines. Indeed, one group has n widely advertised set of illustrated ‘school literature.’ especially devised for its pur(>ose. and comments in its circular upon its success and popularity. “The Daughters of the American Revolution mean to exiM>se with al) the vigor and strength of their beings any individuals or group of individuals who would substitute for our great institutions of g.ivernment untried theories and dangerous communist doctrines.” | Mr Fairchild, in his answer, sets fortli that he personally interviewed Mrs. Cook ami others, asking for th# sources of their information. These had been given, but upon investigation thev were found to ’have no reliable detailed information." He said he proposed to Mrs. Cook’s organization and others that would furnish positive information, it would be put in the hands of school authorities. Tiie Character Education institution, made up of educators and,state superintendents of education. Mr. Fairchild j explained, had expended $300,000 In re- ! st-arch and planning work during the lust ten years and in perfecting the i children’s morality code and the “Five j Point Plan," under which dubs of pa j triotie citizens are supported.

’ more pretense here, per city block. ‘ ! than in any burg between Broadway and Hollywood. Possibly there is a reflection of the i political instability which always s threatens a large part of the population with change. But it is n«t tbe civil service employee who helps hold up tbe city’s false front; it is the temporary political job-holder, lhe big duck out of a little puddle who comes to Wash , Ington expecting to be a big duck In a big puddle. I In nine times out of ten. or ninetynine out of one hundred, he finds the ( city wholly unimpressed by bis advent. | But he feels important and is deter- I mined to make others recognize his im- | portance. S<> he puffs oat his chest, growi gruff and growly with the "subordinates" who perform the actual dutiet of his office, rents a home which costs him most. If not all. of bis government ; pay check each month, and joins the “false-front ftisileerz.”

but we must sinceriy face underlying problems, namely, the causes of war. "Having advanced the thesis that | war is a menace to civilization.” h« ’ said, "I am impelled by the solemn obligation to speak the truth as 1 see It, to reassert with even greatet emphasis the contention of Mr. Hani bars that the recent immigration bill passed by the congress of the United States ahd signed under protest by President Coolidge has bad and will continue to have ‘grave consequences not only in Japan, but throughout the world. This statement, in opinion, is the exact truth. To grow angry about it Is like growing angry at storms and earthquakes. It does not mean a threat “It means that the immigration act marks an epoch In the development of Japanese policy, la tbs conflict of liberal and conservative forces in s Japan, in the changing psychology o! the Japanese people. In the unfolding of the drama of international politics oa the Pacific stage la the Im in stance and on the wertd stage finally.'

The Flamingo Was neath her whne [ Also Very Awk- h atc hed out into war d- a handsome flamingo. At least they all say I am handsome now.” Billie Brownie agreed that the flamingo was certainly very handsome. But the flamingo was also very awkward and got into the strangest of positions. Billie Brownie went to call on the Asiatic White Crane next. He was beautiful with the most perfect of feathers and as he walked upon his thin legs and webbed feet there was a great deal of grace about him. His beak was long and he reached down Into the mud of the pond to see If he could find a nice frog or tadpole for supper. Billie Brownie called upon a pigeon who had hurt himself far away from home, but who had traveled all the way to his dear little home Pigeon Cote even though It had taken him almost two weeks to make the trip. Billie was devoted to this pigeon who had suffered, but who had made such valiant efforts to get to his home. And Billie was delighted to see him there. He called on the vultures In the zoo. but the vultures would not say a word. for vultures are the only birds who do not care to make any sound at all. “You’re very unsociable,” Billie Brownie said. But the vultures looked at Billie Brownie and their eyes looked most unattractive and hard, he thought He called on the eagles next and the eagles told him they were very fond of their food. Their keeper had told them lately of some of their relatives who lived along i the Pacific coast who ate so many young salmon that they could hardly , fly. The eagles thought that was a great joke and they said: “If boys and girls and ladles and j gentlemen sometimes eat so much they can hardly walk, because they have not been able to resist such good | foods, yon can tell them that the Bald Eagles, the national birds, sometimes can’t resist eating too much themselves!" Next Billie called on another pigeon. Tills pigeon had arrived extmusted near a harbor with a message tied around his leg. I The message was a call for help from some stranded seamen and It i was all because of the little brave ! pigeon who had been with the seamen • nnd who had not stopped even though | he had felt many times as though he could go no further, that these men i were saved. Billie Brownie was amazed, too, at the modesty of the pigeon. If he had

| saved three Ilves he “ thought he would be pretty proud. But the pigeon said: “What else would I have ' done? Os course. 1 was tired, but ns tong as I could possibly keep on, I kept on. For I knew what an important message 1 was bringing. “Oh, I did nothing more than

nrwfci j

any pigeon would Th , As)a tic White have done. It is Crane, nothing to make a fuss over, Billie Brownie, though I am delighted to „ have your kind thoughts and your good wishes aud your friendship.” 8o Billie Brownie went back to Bruwnieland and told them of the birds he had seen, but especially he told of the brave pigeon who was so naturally brave that bravery meant nothing unusual to him. And the Brownies were thrilled hearing about him. Defined Teacher—Willie, why were you so late this morning? Willie —My mother had to wash my peninsula. Teacher —Your what? Willie —My peninsula!
