Another of those sudden and ter rible race conflicts which make all de cent Americans blush with shame oc curred last week, this time in Tulsa, Okla. Before the state troops that were called to assist the ponce had restored order at least thirty per sons had been killed, hundreds had been-wounded and the negro quarter of the city was in ashes. More than 6,000 negroes were rendered home less and the property damage was es timated to be in excess of a million and a half dollars. - . ; ; As bo often is the case, the riots were due to an attack on a white girl" by a negro. The offender was arrest ed and then someone started the ru-. mor that" he was to be lynched. Sev eral hundred armed blacks gathered about the. courthouse and jail, and one of them was killed by a police officer. That started the fighting, and within a few hours the city had become an armed camp. Both -whites and blacks looted the stores for guns, and the negroes entrenched themselves . An their quarter. An army of whites soon began the invasion of that region and, driving back the blacks, set fire to the buildings as they advanced. Men, women and children were shot down mercilessly; as they fled rom their burning homes. Three local units of the Oklahoma National Guard were ordered out by the governor, and they, with the help of the police and members of the - American Legion, at last succeeded in controlling the sit nation. They were able to protect the business and railroad districts. from further destruction, but the black belt" was a smoking ruin. . The same old cries of "Shame 1 will be heard, and Tutsa will be thor oughly scolded for this shocking af fair; but the same causes will bring about the same results ever and again. almost anywhere In the United States. and the wisest social economists do not know where the remedy lies. If the house can be brought around to the senate's ? way of thinking,, we -will have the greatest navy fn the -world. But8 the' difference of view of the two chambers Is represented just now oy some ; $a3,ww,w, ana n may, be a long ttme'before. an agree ment Is reached. By a vote of 54 to 17 the Senate passed the naval appro bation bill carrying a total of $494, 000,000. For. several weeks the small navy men had fought hard, but they secured a reduction of only $2,500, 000 from the total; recommended by the- naval committee. . Their leader, Senator Borah, voted for the bill be . 4'ause, as he explained, he had 'high jhopes"of results from his amendment requesting the President to invite 3reat Britain and Japan to join with the- United States in curtailing naval . construction.

J - The bill as passed by the senate car- ,rles $105,000,000 for construction of hlps, including an item of $l5.000j000 for the beginning of work on two air plane v carriers at- a limit cost of $32.- 000,000 ; $18,000,000 for aviation, and funds for 120,000 men.

Memorial day not only was cele brated ? fittingly all over the United States, but In England and France as" well, where many of our dead war-; riors still lie. In ) this , country; of course, the most notable observance of the day was In the national ceme tery at Arlington, where the Presi dent delivered the address. Mr. Har ding took""advantage of the occasion ta declare that America must and Will do; her full part in helping to stabilize the world, to restrain ambition for I empire and to prevent the disaster to civilization that would come from a denial of the equality, df wiverefgn states or persons.- The united States,. he asserted, will neither pursue a pol icy of Isolation mor surrender any of Its Independence of action, but : wilt stand ready to accept leadership In the restoration of normalcy In the world. s In a Memorial day-address In a Chicago suburb, former Senator James Hamilton Lewis predicted a war with Japan in which America will stand alone. Not one country In Europe is truly the friend of the United States," he said. 'The time is coming when we shall have to pro- tect ourselves against, an Invasion of the Asiatics." England rruill-:, nuu Italy, he said, will be appealed , to by Japan to" force the United - States ' to grant the; Japanese the same privi leges as they enjoy In Europe. Eur The federal railway labor board has announced the wage reduction that goes Into effect on July 1, when the national agreements . are abrogated. The average wage cut Is to be 12 per cent und this eventually will reduce the pay rolls of $he 104 roads affected by $400,000,000 a year. The board In it decision sets up new uniform wage scales for all groups of employ ees, and these will later apply to every road in the country. The abrogation of the national agreements. It Is be lieved, may save the roads an addi tional $300,000,000 .yearly. In labor ci rcles it had been feared a grea ter wage reduction would be ordered by the board ; hence ; It Is predicted the action may , arouse1" little open oppo sition. The chiefs of the railway unions reserved comment. -The day" after the board's ruling Was made public President . Harding surprised the interstate ' commerce commission .by calling at Its office for a conference on freight rate reduc tion, which he deems of vital Impor tance in the . restoration of business. He made clear his desire In this line, but it was evident that he would have to overcome strong" opposition. The cabinet agrees with the President that, prohibitive transportation rates large ly account for the stagnation of busi ness and the con tiniied high price of the necessities of life. Chairman" Clark, of the interstate commerce commission and Senator Cummins, chairman of the .senate com mittee on interstate commerce, agree, .however, "with the railroad executives, who contend that rates cannot' be re duced generally - until It has been proved that railroad expenses can be cut to a point assuring an - adequate return on the investment. ' Aviation In ' America is hard hit by disaster : and , economies. . The country was shocked by the accident nea Washington In which an army plane, caught in a fierce electrical storm, was destroyed" and all its- seven .occupants killed. , The ; victims included several aviation officers a nd former Congress man Maurice Connolly.

This ac tion may be linked with the charges of Inefficiency, carelessness and mis conduct . made against certain of the operating force of; the air mail In the Middle West. Investigation has result ed in the temporary suspension of E. W.

The Investi gation Is not yet completed.1 '.The Poles! and Germans In Upper Silesia did not observe their truce for many hours. The Germans renewed the attacks and the fighting has been continuous ever since, despite the ef- forts of the allied plebiscite forces, which have been reinforced by a body of British troops. In general the Poles seem to be getting the worst of the fighting, for the Germans-were' well organized secretly and are fully armed.

T1 , ' Chancellor; Wirth apparently is de termined to force Germany to fulfill her obligations to "the allies. In a speech before the relchstag he set forth the 'economic. rules and' policies through which, he believes, the Ger man nation can pay .Its debts and yet maintain economic stability and in dependence, r He Intends not only to keep up-'with the - payments as they fall due, but to keep ahead of them. -nte sums to oe pam in repara tlons, he declared, "can be extract ed only by creating an economic, bal ance.

To this end we should have sovereignty over our customs borders. , - ( . 'Agriculture must be brought to its higlrestcapaclty,: systematically. Ani- nials must be 'replaced by motors, sav ing fodder.

" r Before the- congress of the Com raunist' party In Moscow Premier Lenin laid his economic program,' which was supported by Minister of 'Agriculture Millutin and approved - by the gathering. The policy as outlined Includes : . Collection from ; the peasants of a fixed amount of grain by a system -6f tax in kind, estimated by Mlliutin to amotint to "about one-third of the crop The other two-thirds of the crop is to" remain at the disposal ; of the, peasan for grading through the newly restored co-operatives, whose power Is to be ex tended. 2 Retention In the hands of the state of :the largest industries - and means of .transportation, particularly Cabinet Member Must Be Interviewed Dally Secretary Denby Ir Jovial and Secretary. Hughes More Spon taneous Than Was Expected. - " - By E DWA R D B. CLA R K. Washlngton.During the war there was a vas't amount of .vital depart-. mental news - in Washington wmcn could not-be given' to the country. Scores of Washington correspondents knew the news," but weie restrained from printing it by the .knowledge that publicity might give aid or comfort perhaps both," to the enemy. Trvi v npnre hna come and there are I dally conferences In every department hot-uWn' thp hipf thereof and the ropresentatl ves-of 4Je great news-gathering organ izations of the United States and the special cor- respondents. There is in almost every case a perfectly, frank ; discussion ; of the matters of moment, but It still is necessary in numerous instances to withhold the hand from writing all the facts. This Is especially true con cerning matters which itffeet the In ternational ; policy of f the United States. However, as soon as things reach a stage when it is proper to dis- cuss 'them publicly, the secretary of state givear the -word and the news la sent out broadcast. The President of the United States gees the newspaper men twice a week, on Tuesday at one. o'clock and on Fri day at four o'clock. The relation be tween the news catherers and the President are kindly. Mr'. Harding has the advantage. If one boldly may so put it, of being a newspaper man himself, and he delights in exchanging the phrases of the craft with the men who come to the conferences. He is not at all unfamiliar with news val- ues and frequently when he Is going to give out something which can be published bis face lights up with the smile of appreciation of the cub re porter who has landed a scoop. Hard Work for Correspondents. Is It becomlngfor one who tries to write of the doings of the capital to enter a complaint of hard work? The cabinet officers keep the newspaper men busy In their endeavor to meet appointments. Here Is a part-of the dally -schedule : . The secretary of the navy's office at ten o'clock a. m.; he secretary of state's office at 10:30 a. m, ; the secretary of war's office at 11 a. m. Other secretaries see the .corre spondents at what might be called in discriminate hours. Cabinet officers in - times past and today always have had the faculty, without saying .very much, of Impart ing to newspaper . men the impression that pretty soon "something Is going to break." Secretary of War Weeks did not say so .directly, but pretty nearly every newspaper man in this town ; sensed in advance that on a certain hour of a certain day N Mr. Weeks was goingto give them the name of the man who was to be ap pointed chief of staff. The surprise of the day was not the fact that a chief of staff was named, but "in the name of the man who was" selected, for fw newspaper men believed that General Pershing was to be given the place. Secretary Weeks rather chuckled over the way in which the news of the ap pointment was received. Mr. Denby Is Jolly. Secretary Denby is a jovial sailor soul, or should one say a jovial marine soul? He Is built like a man' who likes his joke, and his -structural out lines and : embodiment do - not belle themselves. He gives out news free ly and it is given out with a good many genially jovial exchanges be tween the giver and the receivers. The department of state today Is the custodian: of matters of endeavor of national and international moment to a greater extent . than any. other': de partment of government. The confer ences with Secretary Hughes are more largely, attended than those with any otner ; cabinet officer. - it should be said for Mr. Hughes that he Is much .more "spontaneous" In his relations with the correspondents than It was believed that he would be. He has In ternational matters in hlskeeping, del icate mattersln nearly every Instance. -The news concerning them can be giv en out only when a dozen and one thoughts have been given consider ation. -When the time Is ripe for the news Mr. Hughes "plumps" it out like a man who is glad that the day finally ha arrived when he can share his burden with the pubUc? , : . One wants to say "pass the buck," but perhaps ..It Is better in this con nection to say "pass the responsibil ity." Thl passing of theresponsl-' bllity, is an almost datljr occupation In Washington. Responsibility in the case is that, which has to do with the giving out of information. President Harding' frequently : tells the newspa per men , that about., certain matters they must ask the secretary of this or the secretary of that, and occa sionally with something like a grin, the secretaryof this or the secretary of . that says, "Take your question to the President" " - une-cmra or tne total. wealth of nny When'young green onions are pjentl ful serve them cooked as asparagus, J serving them in stalks oi three or four on wen buttered toast and with a "dra wn butter or white sauce.
