The Children's Christmas Shin.
From the New York World.

From the New York World
The dead of the war in Europe will
run into the hundreds Of thousands.
Ihelr orphaned children will reach into
the millions. The project of sending to
tnese millions of little ones Christmas
gifts from the children of America is
receiving nationwide response. The
remembrances are coming in from all
sections and from all classes of people.
1t Is becoming a great national testi-
mon1ai that Of one blood God has made
All peoples, which Europe is forgetting,
but which America. through its chill
dren of all races. would call to mind
again. The government of the United
States interested itself in a day of
prayer for peace. 1t expects in due time
to become an intermediary for peace
Through its very feebleness this chill
dren's appeal may prove a power in
reviving the spirit of peace where it is
now dead. The government has lent
its own vessels to the work of getting
distressed Americans home from Eu-
rope. 1t has before this in like man.
ner aided the charity of the American
people in relieving extraordinary cases
of distress abroad. What could be
more fitting than for the government,
without any material expense to itself,
to put the stamp of the nation upon
this movement by providing the trans
portation for these millions of little
| messages of peace and good will to the
war orphans of Europe?

from Europe today is the reported re-
moval of the chief of the German staff.
Field Marshal Won Moltke, and his re-
placement by Maj. Gen. Won Weights
Rhetz. Reports from Amsterdam are
to the effect that this change is due to
dissatisfaction on the part of the Ger
man emperor with Won Moltke's plan
OF campaign, and speculation is now
rife as to the effect it will have upon
the future conduct of the war. NO
information is at hand to indicate
whether Won Moltke or the kaiser has
been responsible for the strategy OF the
campaign thus far. One suggestion is
that Won Moltke has followed his own
plan, and is now dismissed because
OF it's failure. and another is that the
plan up to date is that of the KAISER,
and that Won Moltke has been in pro-
test, until at last he has been displaced
by an officer more in harmony with the
kaiser's ideas. 1t is intimated that 1t
was the kaiser's plan. and not that OF
Won Moltke, to detach troops from the
army of French Invasion to relieve the
pressure in East Prussia. whereas 1t
is now realized that if any forces We're
withdrawn from France they should
have been sent to Galicia in aid of the
Austrians rather than to East Prussia,
where the Russians were. it is now be-
1ieved, only making a feint attack.
The pressure on Antwerp continues,
with strong evidences of German sue
cess in forcing the outer defenses
There is no reason to expect Antwerp
to resist long in the face of the tre-
mendous artillery strength of the Ger
mans, already so effectively demon
strated at Liege and Namur.

The Dry Area.
From the Newark News.

Two dry strips are notable features
of the liquor maps of the United States,
now that Virginia has gone for prohi-
bition. One runs from the Atlantic to
New Mexico, taking in the states OF
North Carolina, Tennessee. Arkansas
and Oklahoma, with Mississippi serving
as an extension to the Gulf Of Mexico
and Kansas making a bulge to the

The Plaza Awards.

An unfortunate situation exists in
the House Of Representatives, where,
owing to a fliibuster of southern repre-
sentatives who wish to force action on
a bill designed for the relief of the cot
ton producers of the south, it is for
the present impossible to secure con-
sideration OF the measure to adjust the
Capitol-plaza awards and give imme-
diate relief to the property owners
whose lands have been pre-empted for
the government. Many months have
now been lost since the condemnation
of this property, at first in the suspen-
sion Of executive action owing to a de-
sire to secure a revaluation Of the
lands Of a corporation, and subse-
quently in the postponement of legis-
lative action looking to a separation of
the unchallenged cases from others.
The Senate has already passed a bill
which puts the matter on a basis of
effective procedure and insures prompt
payments OF awards In the majority of
cases The House has that bill before
IT. and others involving only slightly
different proposals to the same end.
Probably in an hour of debate the
question could be brought to a satis-
factory issue and the bill put in the
~ u AAiioa PoSSdSo, perhaps thfOu&0
conference. Yet 1t is impossible, an.
parently, to secure consideration. A
week ago the District lost its day in
the House owing to the pressure of
other business, and yesterday 1t was
again deprived Of its day through the
cotton fNbuster. The time of probable
adjournment is near at hand, and If
action is not had before the gayel falls
At this session several more months
must elapse before the property own
ers involved in the plaza condemnation
can be relieved Their unfortunate
plight has been frequently described
and it calls for no repetition now to
emphasize the urgent necessity of
prompt legislation unless the govern
ment is to mulct them in heavy dam
ages and losses without the slightest
justification.

Hopeful Sign.
From the Columbus Ohio State Journal

From the Columbus Ohio State Journal
We like to refer to one sign of good
times. and that is the universal increase
oe college attendance. All the big col
leges are deluged with students, and the
smaller colleges report a large increase
The latter fact is especially gratifying
1t is we'll to fill up the small colleges.
which are particularly inclined to true
educational ideals. 1t would not be so
good sign if the big colleges were
overcrowded while the smaller ones
ing to college and the big colleges are
crowded. don't turn your back on the
little college. if you really want an edu-
cation. The business side of the fact is
also interesting. If the state Of the
country were not healthier than some
people want to think. there wouldn't
be so much money spent for educa-
ton The boys would be kept in the
shops and on the farms So the whole
some fact is. We are going to have
plenty of corn and education.

No Material War Change,

The power of German offense in the
battle in France 10 not exhausted.
Late reports bring news Of furious and
partly successful attacks upon the
allies left wing. The French OIL
cfal statement acknowledges that the
allies have been obliged "at certain
points to yield ground" The utter lack
of location and definition leaves the
situation vague and indeterminate. All
that is known about the matter is that
there is in progress a continuous en-
deavor by the allies to turn the Ger
man right north of Arras. which the
Germans appear to be confronting by a
shifting OF forces. accompanied by
heavy assaults upon the central portion
Of the French and English left Thus
far the changes that have taken place
/, ia the past week are relatively imma-
, terial.

American Trade and Shipping.

A great deal of discussion. in Con-
sgress and out. centers upon two propo-
sitions springing from the war: Q)
The United States should largely in
crease it's trade with South America
and (2) it should become again a car
rying power of commanding conse-
quence on the sea. Both propositions
should inspire us to our best efforts
As to the first, important measures
are already in the shaping. Credits
are being established in the leading
South American countries. American
manufacturers and merchants are
seeking information from accredited
sources about the markets down there
and how to supply them. Agents who
speak and write. in addition to Eng
1ish, both Spanish and Portuguese are
being engaged. AS much progress as
probably can be is being made, and in
systematized form. On the score of
trade the country seems alive to the
opportunity.
There seems to be hitch, however,
as to the second proposition. 1t is
agreed that we should have a merchant
marine worthy of the times and our
needs. but opinion is divided about how
best to create it.
One opinion insists that the national
government should help; and sharing
that is the President. He believes in
government-owneds ships, at least as a
starter The bill now before Congress
providing for limited purchase OF
ships in existence and practically on
the market has his approval, although
the measure, for some reason, is halted.
Those who oppose all governmental
n ha hoi nn
the fear that such means would dis
courage private enterprise. and that
once embarked on the course the gov
eminent in self-defense would have to
do it all They see a large opening
there for pushing the policies of gov
ernment-owned railroads and telegraph
and telephone lines, and a long gen.
eral advance toward leading features
of state socialism.
Our danger is that in fighting over
methods we may lose invaluable time.
The cream Of the opportunity may be
lost. Public interest in the matter,
now SO keen. may languish. Our pur-
pose may become "sicklied over with
the pale cast of thought"
Let US do something, and, in the
catch phrase of the day, do it now. If
we do not become a great carrying
power on the sea in response to the
present incentive we shall never again
fisure in that capacity. Our railroad
systems in their larger relations are
practically complete. and the principal
ones with government aid-call it sub
sidy. if you choose. We must turn
again to the sea, and make ourselves
strong there. For If we do not, this
war has shown that American foreign
trade, great or small, with South Amer
lea or elsewhere. may be paralyzed at
any time. Let US stand-or float
rather-on our own ships bottoms.

Mr.. Wilson and Mr.. Sullivan.

| There is something of a howdy-do in
democratic circles over the statement
that the President desires the election
of Roger Sullivan. Thick-and-thin
party men are delighted. They read in
his attitude an assurance that the
President is learning the game of pol
itics rapidly and becoming thoroughly
practical" They are hoping for fur
ther developments along the same line.
Reformers are in the dumps. They
cannot reconcile the attitude with MIR.
Wilson's pronouncements against bosses
elsewhere. Why make fish of Mr.. Sui
livan and flesh of Mr.. Murphy? Why
does not Mr.. Wilson hit boss head
wherever and whenever one appears?
Mr.. Sullivan may have won this vic
tory by sheer audacity. He is the one
prominent democratic boss of the day
putting his bossship to the hazard. Mr..
Taggart was urged to stand for the
Senate, but was afraid to submit his
fortunes to the Hoosier electorate. Mr..
Murphy. it is well known, could not be
induced to stand for any elective office.
He could not win. Besides, he is better
placed where he is.
But Mr.. Sullivan, long under as hot
fire in Illinois as Mr.. Taggart in In
Qidna OF MI murphy III NeW OTh,
yielded to his friends and his personal
feelings, and announced for the Senate.
In the primary he carried all before
him, and the Presidents support, If it
is openly and fully given, should be
worth much at the polls in November.
Other bosses have shown audacity,
and achieved success by it. Mr.. Quay
ruled Pennsylvania, Mr.. Platt New York
and Mr.. German Maryland in that way,
and all three reached the Senate. Re-
publican Presidents cordially greeted
welt in particular worked in perfect
harmony with both. Mr.. German, who
managed Mr.. Cleveland's first cam
paign. and helped manage the other
two, was on excellent terms at the
White House until he revised the Will
son tarif bill. Nothing he ever did as
boss put him at a disadvantage with
Mr.. Cleveland.
Mr.. Sullivan's talents do not suggest
the Senate as the proper field for their
exercise, and there is wonder why he
turned his eyes in that direction. But
he has done so, and his audacity COM,
pels attention. II he wins. some demo-
Gratis will attribute his success largely
to that quality. AS action is the COM
pelling power Of popular oratory, au-
dacity Is often the secret of political
success. The man who wants a thing
and has the nerve to ask for it has al
ways to be reckoned with in a contest.
Nerve Of that kind covers a multitude
of deficiencies.

Took on smile of pride.
Quoth he, What pleasure 1t awakes

And as he spoke he quite forgot
His duties and his cares.

Quite free from such affairs,
Alas and then a1ack-a-day!

And left his hopes undone!
