The unexpected has happened In
Ireland. A Sinn ft'in meeting ended

The demand always exceeds the
supply with regard to positions which
pay large nalarien and require little
work.

Somehow or other that financial

It leoke as If a cog had slipped
somewhere In the high efficiency

tion and that more than a thousand
American citizens are the victims of

the slip. Germany may not be able
to pay but had proper attention been
given.to this matter within the ninety
day period designated it may have
been possible to have had these claims
adjusted so that negotiations for their
settlement could have been made.
Somebody, somewhere, somehow,

up to the state department to get

IS THE CONGRESS GUILTLESS?
EDITORIAL OF THE DAY
A GOVERNMENTAL LAPSE.
Although the federal government
Tins adopted the budget plan, and
that was a Wllsonian plan, and it is
heralded as having resulted In sev-
eral hundred million dollars being
saved to the taxpayers, there still
reems a lack of close application to
business at Washington. ' The latest
evidence of this is the announcement
through the Associated Press, tflat
claims of American citizens aguinst
Germany aggregating hundreds of
millions of dollars, properly filed and
authenticated have been permitted to
lapse.
A provision in the separate peace
treaty executed between the United
States and Germany stipulated that
the Vnited States within ninety days
after ihe date of final ratification of
this treaty should initiate the creaion
of a mixed arbitral commission to
coniider claims arising from the
world war. This ninety day period
exi'irrd Feb. S, and it has recently
become known that not the slightest
niovt toward the creation of this tri-
bunal for passing upon the claims
filed I y Americans against Germany,
was n-.ide before its expiration.
This situation will make it neces-
sary to enter into entirely new diplo-
matic negotiations looking toward the
Consideration of these claims. The
state ilojjiirtm t:i, whose head is
Cha-r'ii s Evans Hughes, is charged
with looking after this provision of
the treaty and it is from this depart-
ment that (Tie Information is procured
that the lime passed without giving
It effect. The records are said to dis-
close that as long ago as March J.
1921, the day before his retirement
from the presidency, Mr. Wilson
transmitted to the senate data pre-
pared by the secretary of slate show-
ing a total of 1,253 claims filed with
the state department by American
citizens against Germany aggregating
|2"1,231,465. and that these figures
remain substantially today as they
were then. Still these claimants now
must wait upon the tardy processes
of international diplomacy In order to
iccure a hearing.
Plainly there seems to have been
• neglect of duty somewhere in this
connection and while it Is not incum-
bent upon the director of the audit-
ing bureau, General Dawes, to take
rtutice of this situation, it is not amiss
to remark that if the doughty general
had been In charge of It the claims of
ti*< -.>« American* weuWl not have been
r« completely Ignored and allowed to
tllp i«to the discard, as It were, where
A Texas congressman, Fritz Lan-
ham, lias asserted and produced evi-
dence to support his assertion, that
the horrifying loss of life resulting
from the Roma disaster could have
been averted had congress not re-
fused to appropriate $300,000 to en-
able the helium gas plant at Fort
Worth to continue in operation. Ex-
perts say that the use of helium gas
would have made the fire which con-
sumed the wrecked dirigible impos-
sible and Congressman Lanliam an-
swers the allegation of excessive cost
of helium with proof that the great
bag could have been filled at a cost
of $40,000 or about four and one-
half c^nls per cubic foot.
Thirty-four lives were lost in the
itoma, Including the aces of aerial
navigation, men who had been
trained, tried and proved efficient In
handling aircraft. The big bag cost
nearly $2,000,000 exclusive of the coll
of gaa with which It was filled. If
Congressman I^anham Is correct In
his allegations then there has been
criminal neglect and betrayal upon
the part of a republican congress in
refusing a sufficient appropriation to
have kept the helium plant at Fort
Worth In operation.
The lives of the thirty-four persons
who peflehed and whose bodies were
horribly burned in the crash and fire
of the Iloma have been sacrificed ap-
parently that a republican adminis-
tration might write a record of pre-
tended economy. Hydrogen gas with
which the great bag of the Roma was
filled Is highly and dangerously In-
flammable and it is known that this
gas took fire Immediately upon con-
tact with lite high tension electric
wires Into which the Itoma crashed
In its downward plunge. Helium gas
has been proved to be non-inflam-
mable; to have 92 per cent of the
lifting power of hydrogen gas and its
manufacture to cost about four and
one-half cents per cubic foot Had
the great bag been inflated with
helium the casualties would have been
confined to broken limbs and pos-
sibly a few deaths from falling or
jumping, but none would have been
cremated.
In the light of this evidence the
inquiry into the disaster should em-
brace a scope that will take in the
explanation why helium gas was not
provided; why in the face of the
deadly inflammability of hydrogen
gas and the established non-inflam-
mability of helium, a niggardly ap-
propriation for the latter was denied.
There also should be a showing
that will stop further reckless and
useless imperilling of ihe lives of the
officers and men of the army and
navy. This inquiry should result in
action being taken to prevent any
further exieriments with balloons of i
the Ftoma or other type using gas
until non-inflammable gtis is pro-
vided. it is known that it can be
provided and at a cost trifling com-
pared with the ghastly sacrifice of
human life to a spirit of boastful
"eonoinv.
Significant News.
With the newa plastered all over
the papers that night life In New
York was never so sham clegs aa now:
with the equally confident assurance,
accompanied by chapter and verae,
that moving pictures at their worst
but faintly reflect the lives of mov-
ing picture actors and actresses; with
a new divorce case rich In unprint-
able details for every one that fades
from the tniards, and with an ap-
parently endless supply of other items
of the same agreeable character, it Is
no wonder If the reader concludes
th%t the world is going to the devil
at record breaking speed. As he turns
the pages, however, his eye Is caught
by the headline: "Church Bodies Gtiln
Milion Members." To the mass of
readers there will be satisfaction as
well as significance In the fact that
the- religious organizations of the
country have added a million mem-
bers to their lists during the year and
that they now boast a total of 46,-
000,000 persons.
One fact like this disposes of a
good many facts regarding a night
life or a movie life which affects a
negligible percentage of the popula-
tion. It is not a spectacular occur-
rence; it does not prick a jaded curi-
osity, but for sheer meaning it out-
weighs pages of scandal. And It re-
enforces a very old lesson, that every-
thing is a matter of emphasis and
that you find W^at you look for. If
you choosc to place the emphasis
upon the sordid, the flashy, and the
vulvar, .you can make this out to be
as sordid, as flashy, and as vulgar a
world as persons of that stripe could
desire. If you choose to see the
bestial and the gruesome, they are
there for you to look at and gloat
ever. If, however, your taste Is for
that which dignifies humanity rather
than for that which debases it, if you
prefer decency to debauchery and re-
fineement to coarseness, you need not
go out of your own street to verify it
as the normal existence. And what
Is exceptional where you live is ex-
ceptional where everybody else Uvea.

a dream
"You see, Kelly, I believe In fairies,
In pixies, in witches, and everything
like that. Of course, I wouldn't ad-
mit it Uvevery body, but It's m just the
some.
"1 admit it to myself and to the lk-
tlo people. So every once In a while
t see a pretty little fairy In a suit of
green tights, with a green ballet skirt
spreading out all around her, and she
fox trots up the carpet there, stepping
easily on each one of them fleur-de-
lis in the pattern; and she touches me
with her fairy wand, and I ljiave au-
tomobiles, and money, and gowns, and
people bowing to me at the opera,
and then some guy with a green neck-
tie comes up and dictates a letter to
his laundry because thoy chewed the
buttons off his red flannel-union suit,
and I have to stop and do that be-
fore I can go back to the opera house
with the fairies.
"Now, which Is real? Is the per-
fectly priceless dream the real thing,
or the guy with buttonless underwear.
"Anyway, Kelly, don't you never
wake me up when you see me dream-
ing here at my desk."

Andrew, settling down to his post

"Oh, all right, I suppose." said Imo-

"Anything wrong?" asked Andrew
earnestly.
"No,"' replied his wife. "Not a
thing. I suppose I ought to be hap-
py, but somehow I am not. Things
don't seem to be as much fun as they
used to be somehow. I guess I am

SUCCESS
Thl» I would claim for my success—not
fame nor gold,
Nor the throng* changing cheers from
day to day,
Not always ease and fortune's glad dis-
play
Thouph nil of these are pleasant Joys to
hold;
But I would like to have my story told
By smiling friends with whom I've shared
the way,
Who, thinking of me, nod their heads and
say:
"HI# heart *as warm when other hearts
were cold.
"None turned to him for aid and found It
not.
Hi« eyes were never blind to man's dis-
tress,
Youth and old age he lived, nor onCe forgot
The anguish and the ache of loneliness;
Ills name was free from stain or shameful
blot
And in his friendship men found happlnesn."
