Americanzing the District.

Wise and lust legislation concerning
the government of the District OF Co
lumbia must be based upon recogni-
ton of two vital facts: "a The Dis
trict's inability to sustain unaided the
burden of National Capital mainte-
nance and upbuilding; (2) the Dis
trict's fitness as an American COM
munity to exercise the representative
American privileges of state.
Retaining the half-and-half relation
and national control in municipal AZ
fairs, the nation ought to insist upon
Americanizing Washington by placing
its people upon the same national foot
ing as other Americans. to the extent
at least of giving them representation
in the House. Senate and electoral col
Iege, and the status of citizens OF a
state in relation to the courts Of the
United States.
A constitutional amendment accom-
plishing this result repeats nothing and
should endanger nothing. 1t is thor
oughly constructive. 1t is not in the
smallest particular destructive.
1t leaves undisturbed and confirms
the national control of the nations
city, and the corresponding national
obi; CATION of adequate financial par
'ticipation in the maintenance and up
building of the National Capital The
organic act of 1878 and the exclusive
legislation clause of the Constitution
are alike untouched
1t makes American citizens of the
people of this community, giving them
effective representation in Congress,
heir legislature, which may deprive
them of their property by taxation,
and of life or limb by sending them to
war. Such representation is not in
consistent with the exclusive power
of legislation concerning the District
possessed by Congress. On the con-
trary, such representation is the more
essential since Congress is not only
Washington's national legislature, but
its municipal and state legislature.
Elsewhere in The Star, in editorial
correspondence, this contention is
elaborated and discussed in greater de-
tail than the space available in this
column will permit.

The Nineteenth Week of War.

Most conspicuously in evidence at
the opening of the nineteenth week
of the war is the reported capture of
LODI. in Poland. by the German forces,
after many days of furious fighting.
AT one time it seemed inevitable that
the second German invasion of Poland
would be turned into a grave disaster
to the kaiser's armies, for the Rus
SLAMS had all but encircled a large
portion of the advancing troops
Owing, however, to hardness on the
part of Gen. Rennenkampf, who has
since been dishonored for his fault, the
development was not completed and
the German troops won free and have
since evidently reformed their lines
and been strengthened by reinforce
ments. The capture of LODI is re-
garded as of the utmost Importance,
for it is rated as equivalent to OPEN
ing the way to Warsaw. which has
from the outset of the war been a
much desired German objective. Pc
trograd is silent regarding this late
deyel3 Pment, and this silence must, for
the iiesent, be interpreted a. con-

Italy's Refusal in 1918.

Ex-Premier Giolitti's statement before
the Italian parliament Saturday night
regarding certain overtures made by
austria to Italy in August, 1913. is Of
historical importance. for it discloses that
it Was the intention of Austria to declare
war upon Servia one year before the
actual outbreak of hostilities. The occa-
sion for the Austrian disclosure Of pur-
pose was to ascertain Italys position in
the event of war. Italy replied that in
such case she would remain neutral
Whether this answer caused a recon-
sideratior7 of the Austrian intention is
not now apparent. 1t is to be remen1-
bered that in August, 1913, no such spe-
cifc cause of Austro-Servian conflict
existed as a. year later, when the Crown
Prince Of Austria Hungary was assassi-
mated at the capital of Bosnia by a
Servian subject.
Interesting speculations arise from the
disclosure by Giolitti of Austria's inten-
ton to fight Servia in August, 1913.
Why was the program changed and the
declaration of war withheld? Was it
because of a lack of sufficient cause to
enable Austria to appear before the world
in the light of an aggrieved power seek
ing Justice? Or was it because Austria
or her Germanic ally was not ready?
or again, was it because Italy refused
TO join under the terms of the triple
alliance. AS far as readiness is con-
,,erned, assuming the immediate spread
Of the conflict between Austria and
Servia to include the other powers as
the present conflict has done, it may be
assumed that Germany was far more
ready then than Russia was. The con-
clusion seems to be reasonable that
either at Vienna Berlin the occasion
of an Austro-Servian conflict was not
regarded as sufficient to justify a conflict
in the eyes of the world.
Again it is of Importance to note that
nearly u year before the outbreak of
the present war the Teutonic allies had
direct knowledge of Italy's unwillingness
to join under the terms of the triple
alliance in a war in which Germany or
Austria was the aggressor. There could
scarcely have been any room for sur
prise at Berlin or Vienna, in the light
of this definition Of Italy's position, when.
last August, the government at Rome
refused to enter the war field in coalition
with Germany and Austria

A Comforting Consideration.

When autumn is grieving,
Midst sunshine deceiving,
We sigh for the summer gone by,
When the blossoms were smiling
'Mongst breezes beguiling
The birds as they ffuttered on high.
But there's one compensation
That gives US citation
When we are most tempted to sob
AS we gather at table
With appetites able,
Nobody eats corn on the cob.
What curious faces
We met at the places
Where elbows on table were dropped
The corn they went after
With leering and laughter
So fiendish it ought to be stopped
Though summer has left US
And somewhat bereft us,
Our bosoms with gratitude throb.
To conquer detection,
There comes this. reflection;
Nobody eats corn on the cob.

Mr.. Bryan and Prohibition.

1t is assumed in some quarters that
Mr.. Bryans recent pronouncement
against the liquor interests has carried
him into the prohibition camp. Has it,
Is the advice that the democratic
party divorce itself from the existing
relations with those interests suscep-
tible of such an interpretation?
Nothing Mr.. Bryan has said for a
long time has aroused SO much feeling
Democrats who differ with him about
the matter may be divided into two
classes: Cd Those who believe he is
preparing to leave the cabinet and
want him to leave, and CD those who
would be glad to see him forced out
for what they regard as at least a
great blunder.
Until few years ago nobody thought
of associating the democratic party
with any anti-liquor movement The
way to prohibition was regarded as a
long, long way. And even now, Henry

declares that no democrat can he a
prohibitionist."
Nevertheless and notwithstanding :,
great many men who profess and call
themselves democrats also profess and
call themselves prohibitionists. Their
pronouncement against the liquor in
terests goes further than Mr.. Bryan's.
They would have the democratic party
exert it's fun power toward making the
United States dry as a powder horn. E"
They regard John Barleycorn as the
greatest foe of physical health and
spiritual character. They want him

In the western theater of the war
there has been but little change. but
that little has been to the advantage
OF the allies. Late reports indicate
some advances have been scored by
the English and French in Flanders
and In the Argonne district. These
changes of position are not susceptible
to Interpretation as indications OF
general aggressive policy on the
part of the allies, but are more likely
to be mere developments of local
fighting. There is, in fact, no sign
that the allies have begun their often
heralded advance to drive the Ger
mans back to their next line OF de-
Tense, in central Belgium.
Naval operations during the past
week have been of no moment, but
the nineteenth week of the war opens
with the statement from Berlin to the
effect that forty British and French
warships are gathering at some point
unnamed with the evident intention
of forcing their way through" The
censor has deleted the name of the
object of attack, but it has been as
sumed that the Dardanelles is the
position signified. This assumption is
apparently borne out by the following
words of the dispatch: This (the
forcing of passage) is impossible, as
the Notifications have been greatly
strengthened and the waters thickly
strewn with mines" An attempt to
force the Dardanelles would undoubt-
eddy lead to one of the most spec
tacular land and naval engagements
of modern times, perhaps the greatest
in history. The waters are narrow
and the forts are believed to be
powerful. That they contain German
artillery commanded by German off,
GERS is now accepted in the light
of late developments showing a close
alliance between Germany and Turkey.
success in such an undertaking as
the dispatch seems to foreshadow
would unquestionably have a material
effect upon the war in the eastern
theater.

An Educational Innovation.
From the Pittsburgh Post.

from the PITTSBURGH foSt.
A city cannot have a better purpose
for investing money than in the edu-
cation of it's children The dividends
that are returned in better lives and
ennobling ambitions are not to be COM
puted in dollars and cents. In a city
of Pittsburgh's population there are
many minors who. by force Of circum-
public schools before having obtained
rudimentary knowledge of the
things so essential to their future well
fare. Some find it necessary to become
breadwinners at an early age, and
there are still others who may not
have had an opportunity of acquaint-
ance with the branches taught in the
lower grades of the public schools.
Pittsbursh will soon witness the ex-
pertinent of having schools in the
downtown department stores and in
several factories and other Industrial
centers for the benefit of employees
between the ages of fourteen and
eighteen. Teachers and text books are
to be provided by the board of educa-
ton, and the pupils, through the pub
lic-spirited interest and generosity OF
their employers, are to receive full pay
for the time spent in classrooms.

the great stir such a thing would make

The Session Begins.

has the PRESIDENT got Congress on
his hands, or has Congress got the
President on its hands? That is the
question.
When adjournment took place in Oc-
tober the Presidents power over
Congress was very great. 1t looked
to the White House for suggestions
1t took many cues from that quarter.
A campaign was in progress, with the
record as the issue and the President
as the maker of the record. He was
nearly, if not quite, the whole thing.
Congress was on the Presidents hands,
and he did with it what he thought
the interests of his party and the
country demanded.
The appeal to the country failed
While the party carried Congress, the
loss of seats in the House was so
heavy the general returns looked like
landslide to the republicans There
had clearly been a great change of
public sentiment since 1912, and the
democracy stood condemned upon the
record which the President had made.
Will this palpable fact show in the
way Congress carries itself at this ses-
sion? Will it exhibit little initiative :?
Will it look less to the White House.
and more to its commission, and some
what to the meaning of the recent
elections?
If Congress perks up, it will probably
find that the President is on it's hands.
in the sense that he has a program
and is disposed to insist on it. He
does not read the November result as
a rebuke for him, but as an indorse-
ment- And his cabinet, from Mr.. Bry-
an down, agree with him.
Whatever differences may develop be-
tween the President and Congress over
the program, the fact will remain that
the session ends by limitation March
4. Whatever contest springs up must
be fought to finish in three months.
For when, under the constitutional
provision, closing day arrives, down
will come the gavels of the Vice Pres
ident and the Speaker, and up will go
the shutters.
The leaders in Congress- democrats
and republicans alike, think the ses-
sion should be devoted to the routine.
That happens to be very important this
time, and should not be sighted No
part of it could be left undone without
forcing an extra session of the new
Congress-something neither party de-
sires. 1t devolves upon this Congress
to provide for the support of the gov
eminent for the next fiscal year; and
there is much discussion about how
much will be necessary to meet a sit
uation now unprecedented, and likely
to remain so for some time to come,
