Working for the Christmas Ship.

The children of Washington are Or
ganizing in splendid spirit to carry out
the idea Of the Christmas ship. which
is to bear gifts to the war orphans of
Europe They have formed clubs and
groups and have devised ingenious
ways and means OF securing money,
and already the most gratifying show
ing has been made to the end that
Washington's representation on the
Christmas ship will be large and
source Of pride to the people of the
capital. Practical arrangements for
sending the gifts to Europe have not
yet been completed, but in abundant
time the transport will be provided, and
at the present rate, both in Washington
and in other cities where this move
ment is under way. the vessel will be
filled to overlooking, not only with
Christmas presents for the children or
phaned by the war, but with new, serv-
iceable clothing for them and their
mothers. The children who are inter-
ested may give toys out of their present
store or they may give money or work
for the raising of funds. There are
many ways in which the Christmas
ship cargo can be accumulated, and it is
gratifying to see the little folks of
Washington showing such ingenuity
and enterprise in their endeavor to
make this plan a success.

The Tariff.

In some of the discussion of the war
tax reference is made to the war tax
of 1898, and the consolatory suggestion
held out that the assessment will be
but for a short time, when the Under
wood law will be able to stand alone
again.
There is a marked difference between
the present case and that Of sixteen
years ago. Our war with Spain proved
a little thing, and was soon over.
Business conditions were but slightly
disturbed in this country. and outside
of this country and Spain not at all.
Outsiders did not know, except by
cable. that a war was in progress.
Moreover, the tariff law then in ex-
istence-the Dingley law-was working
admirably. both as revenue producer
and as a stimulant of business. Every
thing was humming under 1t.
The present war Is a horse of another
color. Its effects are being felt the
round world over. In the countries in
arms there is stagnation, except in war
circles and for war purposes. while else
where many things are arrested, and
all are disquieted. In this country

The War News.
From the New York Sun.

From the New York Sun.
1t is not easy to understand the psy-
chology of the expression Il am sick OF
war news" 1t seems hardly possible
that any one should be so narrow In
his interests, so lacking in human SYM
pathy, as to become surfeited with the
details of one of the most portentous
crises of humanity. Not merely genera
tions but centuries to come will dwell
upon the present clash Of nations. Id
braries will be written upon it. lives
spent in it's study. 1t will be the source
of inspiration to countless millions, and
thousands of the wise or near wise will
deduce conclusions from 1t for the guild
ance of mankind. Imagination and
emotion will enrich themselves from its
slightest episodes. The effects are in
caiculable The physical aspects of
civilization now SCARED and blackened,
and presently to be beautified and
adorned on account of 1t, only typify
the abasements and Qualifications which
the soul of the world will undergo.
Yet there are people to whom destiny
has granted the supreme privilege of
being cotemporary observers of the
struggle holders of front seats at the

we are in q state of unrest approach
ing anxiety. We are looking to our
affairs with the diligence made neces-
sary by extreme solicitude.
And our condition is made a little
worse by the fact that the Underwood
tariff had failed both as a revenue
producer and as a business stimulant
before the war began. The Treasury
receipts as compared with those of
previous years were running behind.
greatly depressed. Hence the opinion,
widely entertained. that even il the
war had not come. a revision of the
of raising more revenue, would soon
have been necessary.
But. however that may be, here is
the war. and here is the necessity for
more revenue. The amount of money
necessary has been estimated, and the
bill before Congress provides for rails
ing it. But who may say how long
the war will last: or what further en-
barrassments it may bring to us, or
what the conditions may be at the
close as respects our business relations
with the great. powers which have con-
Quoted the devastating strife? Their
tariffs are certain to require revision
and readjustments. and that will as
certainly require some action of a
general character as respects our own.
We shall have to trim our sails to the
winds then blowing.
For this reason the question of how
long the war tax will last is of smaller
Importance than that respecting the
life of the Underwood law, and what
shape the new general tariff revision
will take when developments force
action on Congress.

The Tenth Week of War.

The tenth week of the war in Eu
rope opens with the lines tightly drawn
in France and apparently in Poland,
and with German progress claimed in
Berlin dispatches in the investment of
Antwerp. In these nine weeks that
have elarsed since the declaration of
war against Russia by Germany the
two great developments have been the
failure of the German columns to reach
Paris and crush the defending army in
France and the unexpected success
of the Russians in forcing the fighting
in the eastern field to point requiring
the detachment of large numbers of
German troops from the western cam
paign.
In all likelihood the fighting around
Cracow, which is the Russian left of
the line extending across the western
frontier of Poland. will be the next
important development of the cam
paign. The Russians are evidently
seeking to break the Austro- German
defensive line at this point, which is
an anchorage of great Importance. The
operations in Suwalki and possibly
later in East Prussia will be of COM
paratively little moment if. as the
dispatches indicate. the German thrust
into Russia has been checked. 1t is
plain now that from the beginning it
has been the Russian general plan to
clear the fanks. East Prussia and Ga
licia, of aggressive forces before de-
livering the major blow at Silesia, or
German Poland.
Somewhat conflicting reports come
from the siege of Antwerp, the Ger
mans claiming the destruction of cer-
tain of the outer forts. which the Bel
gians deny and declare that the de-
fense has been successfully maintained.
There seems, however, to be proof that
the Belgian defense has been material
ly weakened. The fate of Antwerp, to
a large extent. depends upon the opera
tions in France. If the allies there sue
ceed in turning the German right and
compelling another retreat, a contin-
ued Investment of Antwerp would per-
haps become hazardous. 1t would
probably be necessary, in case of a
general German retirement from
France, to fall back below the line
from Brussels to Liege, leaving north
Belgium free. The capture of Antwerp
would be of no particular advantage
in such a situation. Its investment is
now believed to be part of a policy to
keep the Belgians busy defensively at
the critical time of the French cam
paign.

come to be known in warfare az cold
steel" has played an important part
in practically all of the battles since
the beginning of the war, notwith-
standing the terrific effectiveness Of
machine gun and rife fire. Cavalry.
too. has been freely used at various
stages of the fighting, though in the
western field little mention has been
made of mounted forces since the hrst
entrance of the German armies into
France Apparently in the advance to-
ward Paris the cavalry was most inn
portant adjunct as an advance guard.
but in the subsequent retreating ac-
ton it has had but little opportunity

Peace Has a Victory.

Yesterday was we'll chosen for Col
Harvey's call at the White House.
Peace was the theme of the day-peace
at home well as abroad. And the
colonel and the President made peace
over the little matter that for several
years had divided them. They are
again united. and the compact-though
that is hardly the word-comes in time
for effect on the New York campaign,
which is just opening and will be
strenuous for the democracy. The Presi
dent expects every New York democrat
to do his duty.
Moreover. it insures the President an
additional adviser at time when his
task is increasing in size and difficulty.
Col Harvey is well informed man
about public affairs, foreign and do
mestic- His relations with big business
al home have been intimate. He is
frequent visitor abroad, and knows the
politics of Europe. Had there been no
'bTeak between him and the Pres-
dent. it is a persuasive guess that he
would have drawn as prize an am
hassadorship at the beginning of the
administration, and be now in commits
sion at some important foreign capital.
AS Henry Watterson was present
when the break between Col Harvey
and Mr.. Wilson-then Governor of New
Jersey-occurred, and shared in the
unpleasantness, so to say-taking the
side of the colonel-the suggestion nat
urally follows that Mr. Watterson too,
may soon visit the White House and
smooth his wrinkled front Speed the
day,
1t should be an easy matter to ar
range such meeting. Mr.. Watterson,
though warm antagonist while the
action is on, is not sulk after the
action is over. He has not been in the
present case. Although he supported
Speaker Clark in the contest at Balti-
more, he supported Mr.. Wilson as the
party's nominee. and. excepting only
the Mexican business. has indorsed the
course of the administration. At times
in his newspaper he has praised the
President highly.
A reconciliation between Mr. Waiter
SON and the President at this time
would probably make the friends of
Nr. Beckham of Kentucky feel more
comforta BILE. The former governor has
been nominated for the: Senate, and the
President has formally indorsed him.
MIR. Watterson has not, though he has
given no intimation of bolting. He and
Mr. Beckham have not agreed about
local matters. and as a result some
bitterness exists between them. But
with Mr.. Watterson amiable again
with the President, the mood might
extend to and embrace Mr. Beckham,
and that would mean votes for the lat
ter next month.
Washington's interest in the matter
grows out of the fact that Mr.. Wat
terson, a native of the town. has for
many years been a most welcome visi-
tor. but has not been within the gates
since this administration took charge
His appearance in his old haunts would
contribute to the good feeling and
gayety of the community.

Hand-to-H Hand Fighting.

Predictions that long-range artillery
and fat-trajectory rifles would have
the effect of eliminating hand-to- hand
fighting for modern warfare have been
freely made in the past few years. but
they now stand refuted by repeated
occurrences in the French campaign.
In numerous instances the forces have
been thrown together in direct COL
lision. In the allied attack on Per-
rome, northwest of st. Quentin. the
German intrenchments were finally
carried at the point of the bayonet, and
this is only one Of many cases where
the finally effective charge has been
made In this way. In fact, what has
