Paris May Be Surrendered.

A report that comes today from Paris
by way of London intimates that the
French government, actuated by mo-
tives of respect for a capital which oc-
cupies q unique place In the regard and
admiration of the world, may sur
render the city Of Paris to the Germans
in case of its investment, in order to
preserve it from destruction. mas
much as the seat of government has
been moved temporarily to Bordeaux
there is no particular object In de-
Tending the city save AZ 1t might Incl
dentally add to the exhaustion Of the
German army. A besieging force, how
ever, is subject to but little drain upon
its resources, and since the fall of
Namur there is reason to believe that
the German siege artillery Is of such
power as to enable the attackers ulti-
mately to take Paris with relatively lit
tie loss.
The surrender Of Paris would be sim
liar to the evacuation Of Brussels by
the Belgians upon the approach Of the
German army, save that Brussels is
not fortified. whereas Paris is sur.
rounded by a ring Of supposedly strong
fortresses, capable of Offering a stout
resistance for a long period. AS a re-
suit Of the virtual surrender Of Brus

jured and undoubtedly many lives were
spared. A Siege OF Paris would m.

Our Ambassadors at Paris.

The decision of the United States to
retain Ambassador Herrick in his post
in Paris, although his successor has ar
rived there, is eminently wise. Mr..
Herrick has been at the French capital
long enough to have acquired pecul-
lar qualification for the difficult role
that the war has thrust upon him. A
change of ambassadors at this time,
however capable Mr.. Sharp may prove
to be, will tend to A certain degree of
confusion. There is in any event GER
tain to be work enough in Paris for
weeks to come for two ambassadors.
The American representative at the
French capital has been intrusted with
German and Austrian interests, and in
the event of Il siege or the unresisted
occupation of the city by the Germans
he would he called upon to perform a
multiplicity % duties of u delicate ma
ture. 1t seeT1s probable that many OF
the American now in Paris will be I'M
able to leave before the investment, and
for their protection the representative
of the United States should be there
rather than at bordeaux.
The continued presence of Mr.. Her.
rick and Mr.. Sharp in Paris at such a
juncture effects peculiar repetition OF
its history. The American minister to
France. Mr.. Washburne, was the only
diplomat to remain in the beleaguered
city during the months Of the German
siege of 1901. and he rendered in
valuable services not only to his own
government. but to others in that try.

A Month of Battles.

Until the curtain is lifted from the
scene of war operations in France and
the censorship permits an understanding
of the situation in detail only surmise
can fill in the gaps Of the record of events
as outlined in the meager bulletins and
deleted dispatches. 1t is evident. how
ever. that in one respect at least this
campaign differs from all others in his
tory of warfare. In former times mill
tary operations were conducted in i'm
pulses. with intervals between pitched
battles marked by countermarching and
maneuverins. In the German advance
from AK la Chapelle to the position
about thirty-five miles north of Paris
there has been practically continuous
fighting. This has covered a period of
a month and never before has such a
continuous struggle been maintained
between armies
Apparently no rest is given to the
troops On either side. The Germans have
pushed onward without remission, bring

ing up fresh forces to replace the losses
incurred in the advance and perhaps
to afford rest to exhausted men. But
evidently there has been no long delay
for recuperation for any part Of the
kaiser's army in the fighting field. Pos.
sibly some of the troops have been taker
from the firing lines and exchanged FOR
those engaged in the protection of the
lines of communication. This, however
would necessitate a complex and con-
costing process leading TO possible dis
aster.
Nor have the allies been given a chance
for recuperation They have been fight
ing continuously for weeks. even at night
as we'll as in the daytime. The his
torian of this war will find it Difficult,
to coordinate the happenings of the
campaign. so unremitting have been the
assaults and counter-assaults. SO numer-
bodies and so closely related the
man suvers in force.
This condition has been caused by the
kaiser's urgent need of speed in the
prosecution of the war. 1t was impera-
tive from the beginning for him to strike
swiftly and to carry on an aggressive
campaign III the west Ill tHc HtPe "a
crushing the relatively smaller French
and English forces there in order to be
free eventually to turn and defend him
self from the Russian aggression in the
east, a necessity increased by the I'M
expected readiness of the Russians. who
presented themselves in force on the
frontier of East Prussia more speedily
than was believed to be possible. Par
ticularly since the entrance of England
into the campaign has it been necessary
for the Germans to strike swiftly in
France. The process of English mobili-
cation has been slow. but is now ac-
celebrating and from now on every day
lost in France adds to the forces pilins
up against the German armies.
If it be true. as reported by passengers
on returning transa tlantfc steamer,
that Russian troops have been brought
around from Archangel to northern
Scotland and thence by train to southern
England for transport to Belgium for a
counter-attack OH the German communi-
cations the delay in France. caused orig
inally by the check received in Belgium,
may change the entire aspect of the
western campaign. II the allies are
thus able to strike a heavy blow be-
tween the German base and the adj
vanced line in France they will have
thrown the kaiser upon the defensive
perhaps at the moment of serious ex-
haustion from months continuous
fighting.

The New Pope.

would have succeeded that pontiff in Of

at that time was allowable and proved
effective.
To deal, then. with situation which
when the European war is over will call
for craftsmanship no less than church
manship in the management of the af-
fairs of the Roman Catholic communion a
man has been selected whose training
and experience warrant high expectations.
He should prove not only of great help
TO his church, but factor In the laying
of the foundations of a broad peace for
the whole worlds benefit.

We're occupied with the routine. As a
result, the then new Pope addressed him.

him as a shock, and his helplessness in
the premises broke his heart.
Benedict Nv takes office with the world

Abseuteeisrn.

The New York members of the House,
with few exceptions, hold the record as
respects absenteeism, and some are sensi-
tive about it. They complain of the criti-
cism in congressional circles and at home.
1t is to be said for them that the New
Workers are under greater temptation
than the great majority Of their as
soclates. The distance between New York
and Washington is not great, and fast
railroad trains cover 1t in few hours.
This leads to frequent trips. The New
York lawyer continues his practice, and
runs over home to try his cases. The New
York business man keeps his eye on the
markets. and runs over to get in closer
touch with things when opportunities in
vite. The New York politician keeps his
eye on the boys" and runs over to sec
that they remain safely in the corral.
Then it is true that the man from Goth
am. whatever his calling or condition, is
unhappy away from home. He signs for
little old New York. Pretty and at
tractive as Washington is, 1t does not sat
isfy him. He prefers the bigger town,
with all of its noise and excitement. The
late Tim Sullivan, whose presence in
the House was a sort of joke. summed
up the matter in Bowery style and lingo.
Said he: I'D rather be a hitching post in
New York than a congressman in Wash
ington." And although Tim died a
member of the House, his heart was never
in his job. He made an occasional trip
to Washington for a change of air.
Members living in smaller places and at
greater distances like Washington. and
many of them are steady and regular in
attendance on the business of the House.
They seldom miss a roll call which has
any sort OF Importance. They are among
the most faithful of Uncle Sans legis-
lative servants.
The next House should deal with this
question. That body will have a large
amount of business to transact. Revising
some of the work of the present Congress
will be necessary, not to mention work
on new lines made imperative by oppor-
tunities opened up by the European war.
1t may be the busiest House the country
has ever known; and what it does Will
enter into. and may become the domi-
nant factor Of, the next presidential cam
paign.
All the members, therefore. should be
in their places, from the rising Of the
curtain even unto the going down Of the
same. Even the New Workers must ac-
quire a taste for Washington; and when
they do, they will regret that they did
not acquire It before For. once acquired,
it is not easily lost or impaired.
