The War Censorship.

1t is already plain that American
readers will not get promptly as great
volume of facts concerning the Euro
pean war as they were perhaps expect
ing when the menace of the great con-
fiict first developed. At every capital
in Europe the most rigid censorship
has been established, covering all
methods of communication. Virtually
nothing but official dispatches respect
ing the movements of armies and fleets
and the pronouncements of govern
ments can be sent forth for publication
or even for private reading save brief
bulletins subjected to strict scrutiny. All
cables are under government supervision
and even the wireless stations are guard
ed. The British government has ordered
discontinuance of wireless systems on
merchantmen and even the dismantle-
ment OF equipment on board ships
in these circumstances the difficulties
in the way of transmission of the news
are virtually insuperable. Furthermore.
No war correspondents are now setting
forth for the front from the great news
cent&rs. owing to the practical assur-
once that they will not be allowed to

The Presidents Intervention.

In the excitement of watching the
European war. SO absorbing of inter-
national attention. the American pupilc
should not ignore the fact that Presi-
dent Wilson has just performed serV-
ice of the utmost value in persuadinS
the two sides to the western railway
wage controversy to submit the case to
a full and definite arbitration. When he
interviewed with his influence the situa-
ton was desperate. The railroads and
the employees had failed completely to
agree upon a basis of adjustment and
the federal board of mediators had been
unable to induce them TO submit the
case to arbitration. A strike had act
ually been called for Friday of this
week Had that strike occurred i'm
mense losses would have been suffered
at time of serious business disturb
ance consequent upon the European con-
flict.
In this great international crisis the
United States stands in a peculiarly re-
sponsible position before the world. 1t
is virtually the only great power un-
touched by the war. 1t must stand
ready to maintain the food supplies of
Europe so far as the resources of the
contending countries are unequal to
domestic demands. 1t must preserve =
substantial business basis. A railroad
strike on the scale menaced by this
disagreement would practically prevent
all focdstuff movements and would
strike paralyzing blow at all branches
of American industry, and put American
business in the gravest conceivable
peril.
These considerations the President
stated SO effectively to the representa- :
tives of the contending sides that they
with patriotic promptness recognized
their obligations and agreed to a settle
ment, which cannot fail to restore conf
dence. The President has rendered per-
haps even the most important and val
liable public service in his administra-
ton in thus establishing the basis of a
pacific settlement of these differences,
which menaced so grave disaster.

Absentees and Absenteeism.

The Speaker and Mr. Underwood are
cminently right. Washington is the place
for members of the House at this time
Over 200 are absent from their duties
attending to private affairs. some are at
home "mending fences Some are on
pleasure trips. All should be here at
tending to Uncle Sans affairs. They are
In his pay, and just now he needs them
very much in his business.
The present House has been very indul-
gent in this matter. For months Il small
force has been holding the fort. Only a
few members have debated questions. with
only few listening. On a majority Of
occasions the chamber has presented the
appearance of q theater with poor play
and poorer players on the boards.
1t is to be admitted that the siege has
been long and trying. steady grind OF
sixteen months on the tariff first. the
currency second. and the trusts third-all
complicated and difficult questions-has
developed a case of nerves in many
quarters Men have shirked who. ordi-
narily. are not of the Sinking kind
The fence members have not Jared well.
There are several instances where MEM
bers have absented themselves from their
House duties for long periods in further
ance of their political plans only to lose
in the primaries. Their opponents used
with effect the charge of absenteeisn
along with other charges.
But the necessity of attendance here
nos is greater than at any time since this
Congress assembled. An unparalleled
situation has arisen in the twinkling OF
an eye and a full House should be pres
ent to meet it.
The spirit manifested in the House yes
terday was admirable. Partisanship was
laid aside. and unanimity prevailed. Mr..
Mann's speech was worthy of him and of
the occasion. 1t will add to his reputa-
ton as legislator. and increase his pres
tIge as political leader. The speech Of
Mr.. Underwood was equally meritorious.
and he will gain by it.
But this was to be expected A menace
to a country as a whole brings men to-
gether for common purpose. In Russia
q formidable strike disappeared in a
night, and next morning both sides were
pledged to the national cause. Home rule
for Ireland halts, and both Irish and
English stand for British interests grow
ing out of Europe's turmoil And in
France republican, monarchist and social
ist respond with equal alacrity to the
call to the colors.
All parties in America are for America;
and now that American interests are In
volved in this world trouble all parties
will cooperate to safeguard them.

they will not even be permitted to re-
main within the lighting zone Evl-
IDENTIFY this is going to be practically
secret war. with only the major re-
suits showing Immediately and details
withheld for later publication.
To illustrate the extraordinary ma
ture of the precautions taken by the
British government the situation IN
London yesterday and last night may
be cited. Although the world was wait
ing for news indicative Of the decision
of the British government with respect
to the war OH the continent only mea-
ger reports were permitted to pass. The
sessions of the house of commons were
open. but hours went by without the
receipt here of any information save
the outlines of the speech of Sir Ed
ward Grey, the minister for foreign
affairs.
OF course all the facts regarding the
war will become public in season. but
in these extraordinary circumstances
readers cannot expect the virtually in
Simultaneous reporting of the news that
the modern facilities Of news gather
ing. transmission and publication or
dinarily permit. While the time diff
ference is greatly favorable to the
American newspapers in the reporting
of this war 1t Is completely offset by
the delays incident to a censorship which
up to this time has practically no mod
ern parallel save to some extent that
maintained by the Japanese government
during the war with Russia In this in
stance the difficulties of news gathering
and transmission are magnified by rea-
son of the fact that almost every ma
ton in Europe is involved in the pres
ent struggle and each has it's reasons
for yelling it's activities.

Americans in London.

The American genius for organization
was never more clearly illustrated than
by the manner In which the Americans in
London met the situation imposed upon
them by the war 1t was to that capital
that as many Of the tourists as could
get off the continent made their way in
hurry when the storm cloud broke. and
the result has been a great congestion
of our people there. many of them with
out funds, although we'll supplied with
credits. Some of them had been COM
PEELED to leave their baggage behind them
In the war zone. Some were under the
most urgent necessity to return homo at
once. Some were acutely in need of
means OF immediate sustenance. In this
crisis a meeting was called. an organiza-
ton effected, committees were named on
finance, transportation, diplomacy and
baggage, and machinery was thereby set
in motion to effect the relief of those in
need and the solving Of individual as well
as collective difficulties. As in every in
stance where large number Of travel
Ing Americans are thrown together. there
were men OF affairs in this group, men
accustomed to deal with grave emer-
gencies and big situations While perhaps
never confronted with this particular sort
Of trouble before. they met 1t promptly in
businesslike way. and through their

The Minority Report.

The minority report from the House Dis
trict committee on the municipal owner
ship bill presents the case of the opposi-
ton to this proposed legislation in terms
which leave but little ground for the
affirmative 1t states first that there
is no demand for public ownership of
street railways in the District; there is
no genesal dissatisfaction with fares or
services; there is no assurance Of lower
fares, better service or higher wages for
employees under the proposed system
of municipal ownership. and finally there
Is every reason to anticipate financial
disaster under such a plan.
Perhaps the most interesting feature Of
this report is the analysis of the reasons
advanced by the fifteen advocates of
municipal ownership who appeared be-
fore the committee and constituted the
sole manifestation of public sentiment In
favor of this radical departure in policy.
There was no consistent line of reasoning
in their statements before the committee
in favor of the Crosser bill, save that
they seemed to be animated mainly by
general principles" regardless of the
practical considerations involved and the
possibility of imposing a perhaps bank
rupting burden upon the District NUM-
cipality.
1t is plain from the reading Of this
statement of the case, which, being signed
by seven Of the members of the commit
tee. is to be regarded as a weighty pres
entation, that the Crosser bill would be
but an unsafe measure Of legislation even
If municipal ownership were desired. 1t
leaves uncovered many items of the most
t,l nd ia he mo nf
the financing of this great undertaking
it exposes the District to the grayest
peril This bill would precipitate the Dis
trict in railroad buying enterprise with
absolutely no assurance of the prospect
i've cost and no guarantee Of ability to
pay the obligations necessarily incurred.
The minority report notes the fact that
the public utilities commission is now
engaged in a physical valuation of the
railroads as a. step precedent to all mat
ter of fare regulation and possibly the
compulsion Of universal transfers, which
In principle the minority Of the commit
tee strongly approves 1t is impossible
to question fairly the logic of the mi
nority's contention that all proposals for
municipal ownership should be held In
allegiance until this basis of probable
cost, which may be called the least con-
ceivabie, being that Of bare physical
valuation has been ascertained. At pres
ent the estimate of the cost of purchase
under municipal ownership scheme
range from $25.OOo,OOO to $5oOOO,OOO,
altogether too wide margin to warrant
even the contemplation Of public pur-
chase. When the public utilities commits
sion shall have completed its physical
valuation will be ample time for any
serious entertainment of a plan for the
municipal ownership and management Of
the street railway lines.

Transfer Of Shipping.

From the New York Evening Post.
We find it hard to believe that the pro-
posed legislation at Washington throwing
open American registry to foreign ves-
sells will succeed in its purpose. Its de-
STABILITY no one can question; every
thing must be attempted to relieve the
frfghtful stagnation Of the Atlantic trade
which is upon us, and to aid what may
soon be starving Europe as we'll as war
ring Europe. But the difficulty seems to
be that under the declaration Of London
belligerents may disregard anything that
is obviously temporary transfer of ma
tionality during war. Thus the sudden
appearance on the high seas Of the Inn
perator or Vaterland flying the Ameri-
can flag, but manned by their German
crews, would not for moment be re-
spected by British cruisers. What is re-
quired Is bona f1de transfer Of foreign
ships to American owners. not for q few
thousand dollars. but for their entire
value. Even il foreign owners should be
willing to sell at present, would American
capital be forthcoming under these specu-
lative conditions?
