The German War Office Scandal.

The great krupp interests may call
it maintaining friendly relations with
the German government for the pur-
pose of obtaining business informa-
ton" but if the charges preferred in
the Reichstag by the Socialist Deputy
Liebknecht should prove true, the IA
nous Essen establishment all along has
had secret and irregular connection
with the war department at Berlin.
1t seems TO be fact that the mann
moth gun works exerted certain pres
sure upon officials, whenever i'll need
of inside information, and this now
is to be sifted by the Reichstag This
does away with the erroneous impress
sion held i'll this country that the Krupp
concern was quasi-governmental i'll
StItution and altogether in the conf
dence of the kaiser'S government. The
contrary is true. however. and Ger

such methods exist

serious effect upon the Kaiser's pol
icy for an increased army and arma-
ment. They cannot but chill the en-
thuSiasm of the ardent patriots who
insist upon the new war levy, for, if
the programme is carried out it will
be the krupp works which will reap
the greatest material benefit out of
the proposed expenditures We should
not be surprised to hear that national
resentment will express itself in de-
cisive demonstrations in opposition to
the entire programme of the govern
ment, unless an impartial and frank in
restisation may sooihe public opinion
Should there be 4 desire to substitute
scapegoats for the real offenders,
political crisis may be the result.

THE OPEN FORUM
Another View of Woman Suffrage


To the Editor: Francis de Sales Ryan's
letter in Sundays Herald, advocating
votes for women was of more than pass
ing interest The presentation was not
remarkable for originality of thought
and argument, but was striking because
it did not harmonic with the measure
ment made of Mr.. Ryan from his former
writings. Mr. Ryan usually brings to
his subject an admirable breadth OF view
and deep thought in social philosophy.
There is nothing the matter with his
logic in, this last epistle. so far as he
follows it, 1t is self-evident that wom-
ans voice in affairs will quickly ameli-
crate child labor. liquor. and red-light
conditions. but let us follow TO the ulti-
mate of this logic.
The woman is the churchgoer, the first
teacher of the child, and the most po-
tent molder Of the mind during the most
plastic years. Now, the thought and
study attending the welding of the bal
lot and the consequent mental develop
ment will insidiously destroy the present
simple faith of the woman, thus losing
to the church the woman and the off,
spring.
This seems bold statement to make
for publicity, but it is Of facts which
must be considered if We deal with the
suffrage problem in a practical manner.

Woman's Clubs in Washington.

Commission Rudolph is right
Woman's clubs in Washington have
been an active and effective force in
improving civic conditions.
The city owes a debt of gratitude
TO the hundreds of women who have
been good enough to devote their time
and energy to the betterment of their
feilow-creatures They have under
taken the work with unselfsh purpose,
and they have accomplished much.
There are thousand things in munic-
ipal government which pertain closely
to the household and the family, and
the interest which the women have
shown in these matters has done much
toward making Washington a model
city
The word of appreciation and en-
enlargement spoken by Commissioner
Rudolph is not only appropriate to
the convention now in session here.
but il is deserved

McADOO BARS HUNGRY.

Secretary Of the Treasury McAdoo has
rugged up new dodge to escape the
off1ceseekers and to give more time to
the business of the Treasury Depart

The Secretary has had placards printed
and posted promiscuously about the de-
partment building announcing that his
Office. will be closed to all visitors at ex-
actly ! O'Clock each day without equivo-
cation or appeal No person. except Of
ficials of the. department, will have in

Drop 1t.

Charles {. Glover has written the
committee appointed to investigate the
GloyerS affair assurances of his
distinguished consideration, with fur
thcr acknowledgement of the fact that
he desired in the fullest and most
emphatic manner to diSclaim any in
tention OF showing disrespect to the
House"
Mr. Glover has long been one of
the public men Of Washington. with
out having been a public man in the
sense Of holding Office either in MT
nicipal or governmental service. He is
u man who has won place and recog-
milton in the city and throughout the
country; q man who has had much to
do with the upbuilding OF this city
and who has been of value as the
confidential adviser of statesmen and
flnanciers in Federal matters.
He is looked up TO by those who
know him best as an upright men.
man of integrity, and a successful,
clean business man.
That he should be charged with
prohting al the expense of the Nation
is but another way of charging that he
was q CRATER and when a man has
walked with head high and in the
straight way, it is an insult that rifles
temper and may lead to injudicious
acts.
Though himself man of peace. it
is not to be wondered that the sight
of the man whom he boldly charges
with slandering him should lead to
bodily contact and the assertion that
you are an infamous liar"
Having made ample apology to the
House, the matter should be dropped.

Not n "GOId Brick"

To the Editor: I saw an article in
your paper of the 18th inst, describing
Europe as a Huge gold brick" A man
making an assertion Of that kind is CIV
ing himself away as very unsophisti-
Gated person. Any true American with
any intelligence and common sense well
knows that the Old World is not like
the New World We are living in. Any
one that has the money to spend for a
European trip should have money enough
to see it all, and not give his Judgment
without doing so. as there are many
beautiful places that will attract a po-
etic eye and well worth the money that
is spent. We all came from Europe, or
our ancestors did, and it seems to me,
much as we love our dear United States,
We should have fond remembrance of
where our ancestors came from, and
glory i'm it. even though We don't find
everything as up-to-date as we do here

MEAN REPUBLICAN TRICK.
DEPUTY Collectors of Customs Snug
gled Under the Civil Service.

Democrats seeking Treasury plums
have just come to a realization that at
some point in the closing hours of the
last Congress the Republicans apparently
put one over on them, giving them a last
ing jolt. Under the new system of Gus
toms reorganization, all Of the "abol-
ished'' ports are to be SUPPORTS in charge
Of deputy collectors.
This was all very well, but it has
just been discovered that one paragraph
Of the sundry civil bill puts these places
under the civil service. Secretary Nc
Adood and his assistants have construed
this to mean that appointments to any
or all Of these positions cannot be dis
tributed as political plums. Not knowing
the true state of affairs. applicants for
office are beleaguering the Secretary. In
most of the new supports, deputy COZ
lectorships will be filled from the pres
ent personnel of the customs service.

tires with Buick pennants draped within
the circles were suspended upon the
walls and served to enhance the Buick
effect.
But the decoration of the dining room
was the GROWING achievement o. the
evening. There also Buick tires encir-
cling Buick pennants hung from the
walls with guard chains looped strik-
ingly between them. The Buick colors,
blue and white, everywhere predominant
ed and a large festoon effect from the
ceiling Joined the miniature Buick lin
ousure in the center of the table. A

were miniature leather Buick tool kits
and Buick chauffeur's caps, which, open
ed, revealed a dainty CONNECTION iced
with the Buick trade mark
