which Englishmen might indulge IN
this connection. During the Spanish
American war there was a call for
$4,000 volunteers, issued in April.
In May this was followed by call
for $4,000 more. Congressman Gard
ner, in his recent Congressional
speech on our military status, de-
clared fatty that some of those
troops never were raised.
The Spanish war lasted about as
long as the European war has now
continued. If this country in fact did
not produce within that period 200,-
900 volunteers, it seems unbecoming
Of any American to cavil at British
patriotism, which in a country of
half our population has produced
over a million soldiers and got them
ready for service, in about the same
period.
This allegation by Mr.. Gardner, by
the way, deserves some special at
tention at the hands of the investi-
gators whom Congress is expected to
provide before the new session is
very old, to look into our military
conditions. If it is true that Great
Britain raised a million soldiers in
about the same time that we used in
failing to raise 100000, it is desir-
able to know all the facts. If our
system was responsible-which
doubtless it was-then the system
wants to be made over. If lack of
patriotism was to blame, then indeed
this country has need to adopt a
peace-at-any-price program and
stick to it, for we are not fit to enter
into anything like real war.
Of course, the answer is that our
system was to blame. The British
system of territorial reserves, based
largely on the Swiss plan, has been
adopted in very recent years. 1t
has provided England with an army
of first-class numbers and quality, in
record time. 1t is a system calcu-
lated for the needs of a democratic
country like Britain's or our own. 1t
has need to be studied and under
stood very fully by the men who are
talking about military reform here.

APRES NOUS, LEDELUGE,

Were Mime. de PompadouT living
in France today, we can easily mag
Inc her repeating, in the form of a
question, her famous epigram, as
she surveyed the struggle in which
her country is now making common
cause with an ancient enemy and a
recent friend, against the Teuton in
vader. But the question might
well be asked by a German, Rus
sian, an Englishman, or what is
more Immediately to the point, by an
American.
After this war ceases, and the ex-
hausted combatants, and perhaps
others, shall gather to consider
terms of peace and rearrangeemnt of
the lines of social and political de-
velopment, what will then be our
concern? We Americans, now look
ing On as battles rage on a score of
fields, with forebodings of unmerci-
full disaster that may threaten CIV
Hization itself-can we hope that we
shall escape the maelstrom whose
swirling waters will, if uncontrolled,
oversweep all national boundaries, in
their engulfng rage?
Suppose militarism prevails, shall
we escape its mailed fist? What
then will become of democracy, that
movement that represents the deep
est impulses of human nature, strug-
giirg to free itself everywhere from
the barriers that caste-social, polit-
ical, military-have erected and
maintained? Is our isolation SO COM
plete, our independence of the rest
Of the world so established, that we
may witness Europe succumb to the

surance that the Government at

ARMY-NAVY GAME.

Aside from the actual facts and
figures of the annual Army-Navy
football contest played yesterday in
Philadelphia, comes the thought that
all this might have happened here.
Yearly, after the service battle,
comes the rumor that the game will
be played here. Washington football
followers and those who attend this
game for the social side of it, are fed
with the idea that the game will be
played in this city.
Washington needs something of
the sort as a fall attraction. The
city is the logical place for the game,
despite that the Army would have
to travel something over three hun
dred miles to take part in the game.
If Notre Dame and Michigan can
assume contracts calling for some
thing over five thousand miles of
travel in a season to meet Harvard,
Syracuse, Pennsylvania, and West
Point, surely the Army and Navy
can be brought here.

A NEW ZAPATA7

A year or so ago Everybody
thought he 'fknew" that Villa was
the prince of bandits, the leader of
hooters, the chief of vagabond ex-
petition of unshirted anarchists bent
on the destruction of every vestige
of civilization in a country none too
well supplied.
Now he is commonly looked upon
as the one man who may possibly be
capable of saving Mexico.
Likewise, for several years it has
been our wont to assume that Zapata
was a brigand, a pirate of terra
firma, murderer and an impossible.
Now zapata's army of reds is
holding Mexico City. Orders have
been issued by the "brigand" chief
that death will be the penalty for
looting. Order is secure thus far,
and everything indicates that in
Mexico, as elsewhere, the leadership
that is able to induce the people to
follow it really represents the true
cause of law, order, and public de-
cency. We seem to confront the
necessity of recognizing estimates
of Zapata, as we did Of Villa.

FREEDOM OF THE SEAS.

Among the various suggestions of
the Washington-South American
scheme to get the European bel
ligerents out of-far out of-all
American waters, both the Atlantic
and the Pacific, is one which involves
a question so fundamental that it
must seem, to nations with sea pow
er, unthinkable. This is the question
of voluntary exile from the high
seas.
1t is an elemental principle that
the high seas belong to all nations.
Go a few miles from the Rock of
Gibraltar, and the free use of the
waters is as much the right of the
Patagonian as of the Englishman.
Go a few miles off Sandy Hook and
the free use of the waters there is as
much the right of Malaysian tribe
as of the American people.
This is so in peace without quail
fication. 1t is so in war to whatever
degree any belligerent sailing those

P. 7. MORAN TO ASK
WORK FOR JODLESS
Vice President of Chamber Of
Commerce viii Lay Problem
Before Meeting.

The problem OF affording relief to the
unemployed among the residents Of
Washington will be brought before the
Chamber of Commerce by Its second
vice president. P. T. Moran. at its next
meeting. Mr.. Moran declares that the
unemployed Of the District are greater
in number than at any other time In
nearly twenty years. and that many are
in 8eplorable circumstances.
Mr.. Moran already has appealed to
the Commissioners in behalf Of the
voorhees, poor. urging that as much
public work as possible be provided at
once. He will ask the Chamber Of
Commerce to cooperate with the CON-
nissioners in devising relief.
There are many causes for the pres
ent Industrial condition. said Mr..
Moran today. Among them Is the latest
operation OF the excise law, which
threw out of work more than LOO men,
many OF whom have large families to
support
Another cause for much unemploy-
nnent is the reluctance of men Of largo
property holdings to improve them by
building on them. In consequence
painters, carpenters, masons. plumbers,
steamfitters. plasterers. and building
lahorers are to an unprecedented extent
without work.
Many skilled workers. as well an
hundreds of unskilled laborers, are
without money, and their families are
dependent upon charity or are on short
food rations.
Washington Is worse on than other
cities throughout the country during
this period OF general business depres-
sion, because of the absence of fac
tories and other large concerns that
employ thousands Of men. The Euro
pean war will bring prosperity TO every
large city Of the country except WASH
ington.

contested by England, who already
sends the United States annually 80
per cent more laces than Germany.
AS for foreign markets, English
manufacturers already have both
their eyes and their fingers on them.
Since the war broke out English
manufacturers have been planning to
double their annual export of almost
100000 in laces and embroider-
les.
Of English lace exports nearly
three-quarters were placed in mar
kets invaded by German competition.
Here, since England already has
well-patronized agents, she possesses
an advantage over the United States.
But in Canadian markets German
competition has been so strong and
geography so favors the United
States, that we should be able to
make an ineradicable impression.
Active as England's barter is in
cotton laces, her trade in silk laces
is meager. Two-thirds of the $780,
900 which she exported in 1918
reached Canada and the United
States. Exports from Germany and
Austria Hungary, on the contrary,
amounted to s1,121,750. With op-
portunities given by the lapse in this
German and Austrian trade the
United States is better fitted than
England to cope.

A REAL EVENT.

Thomas Adams, expert in the bust
ness of city-planning, will speak in
Washington December 6, at the new
Masonic Temple. Mr.. Adams recep-
ton will indicate how much real in
terest Washington takes in the whole
broad subject of housing the poor
and organizing a city's physical lines
so as to make living most desirable.
Of all the cities in the world, rome
offers quite so attractive an opror-
tunity for the experts in scientific
management of municipalities, as
Washington. This can be said with
out qualification. Here is a city
which the richest nation desires to
make a model. 1t is young, COM
paratively small, and laid out, in its
early stages, on lines that point the
way to ideal development. One of
the commonest observations about
city-planning programs is that "if
we had known in the beginning that
this was going to be great city, and
had had the absolute authority of a
car, we might have started things
right. But who can foretell where,
in America, the village of today is
to be the great city OF the future ?"
AS to Washington, there is no
doubt. 1t is going to be a great
city in the future. Shall it be the
right kind of great city, a model
and an inspiration? That is the
question.
Mr.. Adams has become known the
world over as a real expert in this
set Of questions. He knows the vast
cost of remaking a city on site oc-
cupied by great population for gen.
erations. He knows how very much
better and more cheaply that work
could be done on a virgin site. He
will find inspiration and appeal in
what he sees in Washington. Here
he will recognize the opportunity to
build the worlds model town, with
out waste of rebuilding and reor-
ganizing. Washington today, Can
berra in a generation hence, offer the
complete fields of opportunity for
this work.
Mr.. Adams will be heard by Sc
lect audience of intelligent people
who are capable of understanding
what a service to this town and this
nation ne offers. The measure of
Washington's understanding of these
things will be taken in the numbers
and the appreciation demonstrated
by his audience.

waters can defend himself against
another belligerent.
There is never any question in the
one case or in the other of the right
of anybody, neutral or belligerent, to
use the high seas. The only question
which there can be is the capacity of
belligerent to take care of himself
in the possession of his rights as
against another belligerent also in
the possession of his rights.
Assuredly it would be to the very
large benefit, it would be blessing
speculative, to make it impossible to
have unjustifiable wars, but as long
as there are wars, those that are
justified and those that are not, in
dubitably it could be a very bad
thing for the cause of peace itself, it
could serve to prolong an utterly
indefensible war, to make vast
oceans free to the use of belligerents
hard pressed elsewhere, to bar out
from those waters navies that, by
their control of all the seas, could
hamper an enemy that they could no
longer fight.
Take one specific example. Any
possible cargo bound from Brazil to
the United States could not be con-
traband so far as concerns this war
in the Old World. But it could be
contraband, and would be contra
band, if it were bound from Rio to
New York for reshipment to Canada
and then for transshipment thence to
England.
In other waters this very question
is now up with regard to contra
band copper shipped from the United
States to Italy for transshipment to
Germany and Austria. The navy of
the allies, in command of the Medi-
terranean, can require from Italy a
pledge not to transship copper re-
ceived from the United States; and
of course Italy will give that prom
Use, because if she doesn't give it, the
allied feet will not permit the cop
per to land in Italy.
In exactly the same way a naval
power that could command the seas
has the right, ought to retain it and
ought to exercise it, to prevent any
contraband sailing from any port in
South America to any port in the
United States but destined for some
belligerent.
