n1ccpAcEErL MANAGEMENT.


II will not be due TO either industry OF
good intentions on the part of Congress
~ the machinery Of the federal govern
ment is not brought to a standstlH TO-
morrow. The two houses did what they
could 10 compel the departments to
sbut IN shop by refusing to provide
funds with which government employees
might be paid from tomorrow on II they
went to their posts and continued u
work Not long ago Congress passed a
law forbidding any head Of depart
ment TO engage or accept service IN an
ticipation of an appropriation or I'd
nromise any volunteer worker any sort
Of contingent compensation. That was
done 10 stop the abuse Of engaging
HELM ahead and then running to Congress
with an appeal for a deficiency appro-
priation. A department head so Offend
ing was made liable to criminal prose
crtiOn. and the members Of the Cabinet
will be technically subject to arrest if
they permit the regular employees to 90
TO work tomorrow except on a no-Salary
basis
Nevertheless. the business Of the gov
eminent will 20 on. The heads OF the
departments will assume a necessary
risk for tomorrow only. The two houses
Of Congress, both Of which neglected to
provide any means for paying for work
10 be done after July 1, will probably
before midnight extend for thirty days
the provisions Of the appropriation laws
for the fiscal year 19l1-12 Thus they
will remedy I'm part a situation due
solely TO their own inetiiciency and
perverseness. There is no god reason
why Congress should not have disposed
of all Of the appropriation bills long be-
fore June 80. The House organized at
the extra session Of 1911, and when it
met again last December the ApprOpria-
tions Committee and other committees
handling supply bills had already had
seven months in which to plan out their
work. The appropriation bills should
have been considered and passed in the
lower branch by April ! at the latest
Instead the House leaders insisted on
encumbering them with a mass Of du-
biOus general legislation which naturally
prolonged debate and which made their
consideration in the Senate, and later
in conference committee, exceptionally
rasping and laborious.
Some Of the appropriation bills have
not yet been acted on In the lower
branch Of Congress. The army bill has
been vetoed because Of Objectionable gen
eral legislation seeking TO reorganize the
military establishment and the legisla-
tive, executive and judicial bill Is pretty
certain to encounter veto because Of It's
attempt to destroy the Commerce Court
and legislate five circuit judges out Of
office.
In no way has the present Congress
exhibited more clearly its incapacity
and responsibility than in the scanda-
lous sighting Of its duty to keep the

cided to take virtual three weeks
recess without thought Of the lncol-
yenience which would result when the
new year began with no appropriations
available with which to pay wages OF

absolutely worn out its welcome. II
couId do nothing more acceptable now
than to pass the delayed appropriation

MORE GIRDLES ROUND ABOUT THE
EARTH

RAM III.
The international conference on wire
less telegraphy which Is now In session
in London has already had the interest
ing result Of disclosing at least a part
of the British governments plans for es-
tablishing an "all red aero-telegraphic
service around the world, connecting all
parts Of the British Empire and with all
| its stations on British soil. These plans
are made possible Of execution by the
| fortunate distribution of British posses
siOns. and are based upon an agreement
| between the British government and the
| MarcOnl company. under which the for
mcr will supply the latter with funds for
erecting the necessary stations, five In
number. which, with one provided by
Australia on her own account will suf-
fee to put a Grdle round about the
earth The Atlantic Ocean is already
crossed of course from POldhu 10 Glac6
| Bay, and there will be no difficulty in
establishing a land service across Can
ada. From Victoria there will be the
! longest leap Of all, presumably to Fan
ming Island. whence the aerOgrams will
90 by easier stages to Fill, New Yea
land, Australia, Hong Kong, Singapore,
| Madras or Colombo, Bombay, SueZ,
| Malta. Gibraltar and home with
branches to Mombasa. Cape Town, Nj
geria and Senegambia.
No other nation could do such a thing,
unless the range Of aerOgraphy were
much greater than 1t Is. Germany
would have TO leap from home clear to
TOgOland or the CamerOons, whence she
could reach her other African posses
Sions without trouble. But to get from
Zanzibar 10 Kiao-chau, TO the Pelews or
to New Guinea would be n formidable
task. From Papua to Samoa would be
an easy step, hut to get from Samoa
across two oceans and n continent TO the
starting point would be impossible in the
present state Of the service. or course
Il would not be necessary for the line TO
go around the globe, so long as IL touched
all parts of the empire but the distance
10 be covered eastward from Zanzibar
seems to preclude the possibility Of that.
France could come nearer TO duplicating
Great Brirains feat for everything in
Africa is within easy reach, and it might
be possible to leap thence to lndo-China.
II so, a service could probably be estab-
lished across Melanesia and Polynesia
to the Marquesas Islands. But It would
be desperate leap from Hivaoa to
Cayenne or Martinique. and another
thence to Senegal. This French route is,
however, far more hopeful than any
which Germany could plan.
For the United States to put such a
girdle about the earth would be impos-
sible at this time. But this country
could connect itself with all Of Its posses
sions and dependencies by wireless teleg-
rapAy more easily than Great Britain or
any other important colonial power, even
though the Philippines lie more than
hundred degrees of longitude from our
shores From San Francisco to Hawaii,
to Midway, TO Guam, and to the Philip
pines. with a side line to Samoa, would
