tight has thus far indicated precise

night has thus far indicated precise
ly the contrary.
The war is getting down to brass
nails, sweeping aside supcrstitions
and theories before the lombard
ment of facts and experience. At
the beginning the gray-clad hosts
were expected to sweep straight to
Paris. But they didn't. Then there
was an interim, change of plans,
and the seacoast campaign was
started, to secure a base for Zep-
pelin raids against England. Eng
land was in terror for a short time |;
but the raids proved only that they
were fruitless Of effective results.
Then came another change, to the
submarine blockade; and it has been
disappointment to Berlin. Alto
gether, the first seven months of
war have served to demonstrate
quite decidedly that the time-tried
implements and strategy were after
all those on which reliance must at
the last be placed for settling the
issues.

men hired a hall outside the univer-
sity campu. and Mr.. Gompers de-
livered his speech. When he was
done resolutions were introduced and
without a negative vote were adopt
ed, declaring for free speech in the
institution, and against the effort Of
the faculty to curb it.
It is difficult to understand what
could have been the purpose of the
faculty in trying to suppress an ad-
dress by Mr.. Gompers, head Of a
great organization, a man who has
spoken from the most distinguished
platforms in this country, recog-
nized authority on many phases Of
an engrossing social and economic
problem. Universities and churches
have been opened to him and to 9TH
ers bearing the message which with
moderation and ability he voices.
The university did not prevent the
speech; it probably provided big
ger and much more sympathetic
audience than it would otherwise
have drawn; and it managed to
place itself in a position which a
great university always finds peculi-
arly hard to defend.

MAI. GENERAL GOETHALS

1t was particularly fitting that one
Of the last acts of the Senate in the
Sixty-third Congress was to confirm
in open session the nomination OF
Col. George Washington Goethals to
,be a major general of the line in
recognition of his services in build
ing the Panama canal.
\ Brig. Gen. William C. Gorgas, sur
'geon general, was also rewarded
with a promotion to be major gen.
ieral, medical department. 1t was
Colonel Gorgas who transformed the
Canal Zone from death-haunted
region to one of the most healnaful
places in the world.
Other promotions were confirmed,
and in them all the American people
will heartily concur as the light sort
,of recognition for exceptionally diff
cult work we'll performed.

Says Congress Should Provide More
Judges For District of Columbia.

To the Editor Of THE TIMES.
One Of the greatest evils of today in
this country is the laws delay. Right
here In the Capital Of the nation when
a suit is filed on the law side Of the
Supreme Court Of the District. 1t is
about six months before it comes to
trial, and in some instances lawyers
have almost forgotten what the points
in the case are.
1t is not only true of Washington a
similar situation is met with in other
places, but We who live here are con-
cerned principally with the situation in
this city.
Several members of this bar should be
appointed judges to catch up with the
work. and as many as may be required
to keep up with 1t should be appointed
permanently.
Florida was in q similar situation and
members of the bar were temporarily
appointed for like purpose and it
could and should be done here.
The same idea and principle applies in
regard to the Supreme Court Of the
United States. 1t Is outrageous that the
people Of the United States have to wait
SO hong for Justice.
Compared with the fabulous sums Of
money that are used for other purposes.
the expense Of expediting justice would
sink into insignificance, and there 10 no
more worthy cause in existence IN this
country today. r. b. FENNELL.

NO RIGHT IN WRONG


The official text of the German
reply to the suggestions by our Gov
ernment for abandonment of the in
visible blockade by the Kaiser's sub
marines and the visible blockade by
fleets of the allies takes none of the
emphasis of the illogical conditions
outlined in the unofficial summary
given to the public several days ago.
AS friendly and even cordial as
the note is, it reiterates a position
which no neutral can admit is ten
able. This is in the offer not to "use
the submarines to attack mercan-
tile ships of any flag," provided
ships of the enemy refrain from fly
ing false flags and arming them
selves. The note further affirms
that if enemy ships should practice
such procedure, that "would render
impossible any action Of the subma-
rines in accordance with interna-
tional law"
That is to declare nothing less
than the positive doctrine that if
Germany cannot get from the al
lies such treatment as Germany be-
lieves she has right to get from
them it shall not be possible for
anybody to get from Germany the
treatment she has a right to get
from Germany, the allies and all.
This is distorted logic and prepos-
ferrous negotiation. To tell neutrals
that the only way they can get their
rights is to induce or compel the
allies to do something that Germany
cannot induce or compel the allies to
do, is to tell neutrals that they
haven't any rights at all except such
as one bel.igerent or another chooses
to grant them in return for points
gained from an adversary.
1t may be true that a weak neu-
tral cannot enforce it's rights against
a powerful belligerent, but it can
never be true that any neutral can
take sound title to a right merely
by grace of belligerent.
If the allies should violate every
rule of warfare in fighting the Ger
mans that could not justify Ger
many in violating any rules govern
ing the rights of neutrals. On the
contrary, any neutral suffering
wrong in that way would be entirely
justified in going to war with any,
body thus invading it's rights. There
is no possible escape from the logic,
the morality, and the justice of that
cOnclu sion

MAJOR PULLMAN

Ten years from now the appoint
ment of a man of the type of Ray
mond Pullman as police chief of a
great city would not cause such a
great stir. Even now it is not an
unheard-of thing to place a man with
ideals in such position. Colonel
Roosevelt, as police commissioner of
New York city, set the precedent for
civic reformer at the head of the
police force. Anyone who has read
Jacob Riis' book, Roosevelt, the Cit
izen," will recall in the chapter on
Mulberry street the surprise that
greeted Roosevelt's. effort to apply
ethics to police force.
Under Major Sylvester Washing
tons force reached high degree of
efficiency, and Mr.. Pullman, in his
first extended statement about DO
lice matters, given for this after
Moons Times, makes clear that he
is not going about his work without
knowledge or the splendid organi-
zation of the force here. Though
he has been termed "theorist," he
intends looking into cold, hard facts
before attempting reforms" that
may not be needed here.
Mr.. Pullman's point that the mod
ern police department will have, not
less to do with the detection Of
crime, but more to do in social serv-
ice to the community, is we'll made.
Such positions as those of crossing
policemen are almost wholly de-
signed for help to the public. And
his aim to "socialize" the depart
ment, and make it a more efficient
community agency. is not thing
unheard of.

SENATORS TO VISIT

Several SoIons Also May Go to

Many to Remain in Town.

4 number Of members OF the Senate
will take a trip to Honolulu this spring.
They plan a visit to the Hawaiian ISL

Stone. Cummins. Smoot and others ex-
pect to go.
In view Of the failure OF the Philip
pine bill. several Senators may visit the
Philippines before the next regular ses-
sion. Senator Kenyon hopes to make
the trip next fall.
Although Senators and Representatives
and lame ducks are hurrying out of
town about as fast as the trains will
carry them. many will remain indefinite
ly. Some have business yet to be dis
posed Of. Others have their families
here and their children in school and for
that reason are not in a hurry to depart.
The Senate Committee to investigate
shipping matters. of which Senator
Walsh Is chairman. will meet Monday.
Senator Simmons expects to be here
most Of the time for several weeks.
Senator Rorsh will be here two or three
weeks. Senator Overman will remain
for time. Senator La Toilette will re-
main for a month or so.
Inasmuch as there was no special ses-
sion Of the Senate. incoming Senators do
not get their patronage except their
private secretaries. This keeps large
number OF the old Senate employees on
the payroll for some months with little
work to do.

FREEDOM OF SPEECH

The faculty of the University of
Pennsylvania has precipitated a
muss over the right of free speech
and opinion at that institution.
Some of the student organizations
invited Samuel Gompers. head Of the
American Federation of Labor, to
address them. His subject was "The
Struggles and Aspirations of La
bor," seemingly a proper enough
theme. The faculty, overriding Gus
tom and precedent, forbade the lee
ture to be given on the college
campus, thus placing the seal of
disapproval on it.

long time past has been in a state
Of incipient antasonism to some of
the attitudes of the faculty which
have seemed hostile to academic

THE MODERN INDIAN

After white men of earlier days
had robbed the Indian Of everything
but the glamour of romance Cooper
had shed about him, along came lat
ter-day white men to denude him Of
even that. in the name of science,
and leave him, to the average eye, a
rum-ridden type of barbarian.
/ Just now it happens that the
Piutes, following the world fashion,
have started an uprising of their
own. And when an Indian starts
fighting he is as earnest about it as
the white man.
But does the Government send
troops out to quell the uprising? Is
it taken for granted that the warning
indians, like the warning Europeans,
must fight it out? Far from it. Ac-
companied by only one aide. Brig.
Gen. Hugh L. Scott, chief of staff
of the army, will ride into the Piute
