The Army and Navy.

Cen Wotherspoon III his annual re-
mort states a very serious and impor-
tant case in a very frank way. He
knows his subject. 1t had been his
official duty to inform himself thor
ouphly. and it was no less his duty to
give nis superiors, and the country
through them, the benefit of his infor-
nation and the conclusions he had
drawn from it. He is to be congratu-
lated on the tone as well as the form
of his deliverance. The civilian as well
as the soldier is enabled to appreciate
what everybody now is much inter-
ested in.
This report supplements the one al
ready made informally by the assistant
secretary of the navy respecting the
of that arm of the ma
tional defense. The navy, it is to be
mentioned. is in better shape than the
army. but far from the shape desired
and urged by our highest naval au-
+horities. Ships in existence are not
s,f6ciently manned, while more ships
are a necessity. Our just pride in the
navy we have feels slight abatement

floating establishment should be larger

officials possessing full knowledge of

will deserve, and should receive, the
profoundest consideration.
Neither in these reports nor in the
discussions of them will foreign powers
find any news. No secrets are being re-
vealed. We are not giving ourselves
away at all. In the army and the navy
departments of every foreign power OF
Importance our unpreparedness for
war was better known than it had
been by the average American citizen
before the agitation of this subject be-
gan. We may go through with the
business, therefore, now that 1t is the
livest of our public topics, without any
fear of injury to ourselves. The only
injury possible is from neglect or
perfectly plain duty.
There is no lack of money to pro-
vide what is necessary. Economy has
no place in the discussion. To skimp
on such a line in the face of all we
know and at such a time would not De

Taking the Rest Cure.

This was Mr.. Roosevelt's reply Tues
day to a request for an interview:
II am private citizen of the pri-
vatest sort, and / haven't a thing to
say about anything"
Can this thing be. and overcome us
like a summer cloud without our spe-
cial wonder?
Still, let us consider. For full thirty
years Mr.. Roosevelt has been ma
tional figure. He was prominent as a
delegate to the Chicago convention in
1884 which nominated Mr.. Blaine. He
then became a civil service commits
sioner He passed from that Office to
the office of police commissioner in
New York city; from that to the as
sistant secretaryship of the Navy: from
that to a colonelcy in the army: from
that to the governorship of New York
from that to the vice presidency OF
the United States. and from that to the
presidency. A long and conspicuous
list.
In all those places Mr.. Roosevelt had
opinions-some of striking character
and expressed them with great free
dom. He was as good for newspaper
copy" as any other public man In the
sountry. He was fond of the reporters

Washington and Belgian Relief.

The District Commissioners have con-
cluded that they are estopped by GER
tain reasons from appointing a citizens
committee TO cooperate with the CEN
trail ma tional Belgian relief fund COM
mittee for the raising of funds and sup
plies to feed the starving people of the
country that has been most sorely
stricken by. the war in Europe. This
decision. however. does not prevent the
organization of a strong Belgian relief
committee of citizens which Will be
thoroughly representative and which
can effectively. coordinate the efforts
now being made to send an adequate
representation from Washington to the
relief of the Belgian people. Such an
organization should be effected without
delay. so that the National Capital may
make a proportionate contribution to
this most worthy charity.
There is no breach of neutrality in
the selection of the Belgian people as
the most deserving objects of Ameri-
can beneficence. From the outset of
the war they have been the chief suf-
ferers The women and children and
the -combatant men have been re-
duced to most piteous state of de-
pendence. Whole cities have been de-
stroyed, scores of villages have been
reduced to ruins, farms have been rem
dered unproductive, stock has been
killed, food stores have been COM
mandeered for military purposes, busi-
ness has been paralyzed, until Belgium
presents today spectacle of desolation
that appeals irresistibly to the SYM
pathies of the world regardless of the
issues involved in this great struggle.
Germany has given formal assurances
that 1t will guarantee the delivery to
the Belgian people of food supplies sent
by the Americans in this crisis. 1t is
of no consequence in such an emergency
whether Germany should itself under
take to feed the Belgians. We as
people cannot check our own charitable
impulse while We are discussing such
question. These people are starving and
suffering from privations, from expo
sure and from the bitterest sorrow that
can be inflicted upon nation Ihey
are in urgent need Of immediate as
sistance, and it is one of the most
gratifying aspects of the whole situa-
tion that their call for help. voiced
through their officials and their friends,
has been needed and American charity
has yielded already a liberal supply
with food for Belgium and others are
being loaded for early departure.
Washington unquestionably stands
ready to do it's part. 1t has given in
some measure. but not in proportion to
its interest in the welfare of these
stricken people. The women of Wash
ington have begun the good work, and
they are now calling for assistance, and
it is for the men of this city. through
organization. to assume the responsible
ity of making the Districts contribu-
ton to the Belgian relief fund one of
which it can be proud.
The Washington consignment to the
Christmas ship, which sailed last Sat
urday laden with gifts for the war
orphans of Europe, was the second
largest of all the municipal contribu-
tions to the Jasons cargo. Surely
washington can do as wei for the Bel
sian sufferers, In whose name an urgent
call for help has just come.

He wants little rest. Should he not
have it, after so long service? What
more reasonable?
But it is only rest he asks. When
rested he will find his voice again. and
have opinions and the disposition to
express them. and newspaper readers
will know just where he stands about
everything.
There is a rumor that when next he
takes the public into his confidence,
Mr. Roosevelt will say something on
the subject of the unsatisfactory con-
dition of our national defenses. The
subject appeals to him, and he knows
something about it. His brief service
in the Navy Department gave him an
insight into our naval needs, and his
brief service i'll the army gave him an
appreciation of army matters. Later.

This is the subject to which tile at

Painters and the Clean City.

1t is announced that the International
Association of House Painters and Dec
orators. when in convention here in
February. will establish an exhibit to
show before and after" aspects of the
city cleaning enterprise. It is also
stated that the master painters of this
city have planned an active crusade
next spring for a cleaner Washington.
There is a striking appropriateness in
such an endeavor. Painters are pro-
moters of cleanliness and their inter-
est in the subject is altogether natural
The house painter who appreciates his
own craftsmanship loathes dirt, and it Is
to be hoped that the men Of this trade
in Washington will carry out their
purpose to add force to the clean city
movement.
These efforts to clean up the city are
likely to be spasmodic and irregular.
They should be systematic and con-
tinuous and should evolve a municipal
habit of cleanliness requiring no such
occasional stimulating impulses. 1t

The Turkish Incident.

Trouble with Turkey on account or
the reported firing on launch OF the
Tennessee is not to be epprehended as
a serious possibility. Apparently the
administration is not disposed to take
offense at an action Which may prove to
have been accidental or inadvertent
and at worst may be the result of an
overzealous partisanship which will be
soon repudiated by the government at
Constantinople. No real injury has
been inflicted upon the United States,
and it would be unwise to pursue the
incident to the point of an issue. For
eign conditions are abnormal, and this
is no time to exact punctilio in all m
ternational relations.
1t is the supreme desire of the Amer
ican people to avoid embodiment in the
war in Europe. and this policy VIII
uecessitate overlooking. or at least not
magnifying incidents which in normal
times would undoubtedly arouse sharp
public resentment. This is not cowardice.
but the discretion which sometimes calls
for the highest courage. The United
states has mission to perform in this
great world cataclysm which it can
only hope TO accomplish through re-
naming at peace with all the warning
powers and neutral as between the bel
ligerents. This mission is that of pur-
veyor to the needs of the suffering
people of the war-stricken land, and it
is fulfilling it bountifully and effect
lively. Never before in the history of
the world has such spectacle been
presented. with an entire nation un-
dertaking cheerfully and eagerly the
task of succoring the victims of a for
eign war, and this new precedent in the
records of mankind is making for
strong international spirit that must
inevitably have a vitality important
bearing in the readjustments that will
follow the war
In these circumstances the proper
course for the American government is
to maintain q digniied position, to ex-
pose itself to no needless risks of in
Volvement, to accept the situation as it
develops philosophically and temper
ately and to seek honorable avoidance
Of differences with foreign powers
Wise orders have been sent to the
commanders Of the American ships now
in the Mediterranean to take no action
which might possibly embarrass the
government. and to await specific in
structions from here concerning the
any course that might involve US In a
complication. The Turkish affair must
be viewed in the light of the general
situation. and this can only be done

OF any loss of American prestige so

He merely deceives himself who

Yet, however great the burden may pe,
there is no reason to fear that it will

Whirlpool of war, but 1t is below Nj

say that the worlds recuperative power
