Allies Take the Offensive.

British and French forces apparently have be-
gun what may be regarded as their first concerted
offensive campaign of the war against the Ger
mans They have proceeded with so much delib-
Grafton and after such long preparation that nat
urally much will be hoped for by their sympa-
thizers from the important movement that now
seems to be fairly under way. The war has been
going Germany's way, reckoncd by the number
of victories and the failure of the allies to show
actual progress in any direction, ever since the
drive started in Poland. and those observers who
failed to bear in mind Earl Kitchener's complacent
announcement in the beginning that the war would
last three years at least have been disposed to re-
gard the German successes as indicating the final
outcome -..
But, beginning with the realization that it would
require three years to accomplish their task, the
policy of the allies has been to permit the thor.
oughly prepared and tremendously effective Ger
man military machine to expend some of its de-
structive force while augmenting their own
strength to hurl against it.
Though the 6rst reports indicate substantial
measure of success for the allies offensive move-
ment it will without doubt Be stubbornly resisted
and civilization must be prepared for new chap

The Grand Army.

Washington today is proud Ito have within
reach of its welcoming hand most of the sur
vivors of that Grand Army which saved to the
many of these gray patriots are left and if the
Capital ever sees this Grand ARMY again it will
know that it has reached the last page of a
glorious history. So let pay to these veterans
that the bulwark of the nations days of
greatest peril some small part of the debt that we
owe them for their bravery, for the strength they
gave, for the sacrifice, they made for the suffer
ing they endured when their lives were young-all
that the nation might live. The men and women
and children of today may do reverence and pay
grateful homage to these old heroes. the nation
may be generous in its care of them but, asking
nothing for the great service they gave their coun
try, they still must be the creditors of posterity.
And while we offer to these soldiers who fought
with the legions of Grant and Sherman and the
other mighty warriors who rest in honored tombs
the best of hospitality and the tenderest of
care, let us remember that they not the guests
of Washington. They have come to their Capital,
the Capital of their own America, for which they
have achieved nobly, magnihcenty, in and in
peace. 1t is their right today to walk as proudly
in Washington as they marched in the grand
review fifty years ago. 1t is privilege in doing
all we can to make memorable what may be their

blessing of peace, is worthy of their sacrifices and
deeds of valor.

even abusive comment when the houses
voted their first salaries bill. which gave
to the President twenty-five thousand
dollars a year, to the Vice President five
thousand, to Senators and Representa-
tives six dollars day during the sessions
of Congress, and to the Speaker Of the
House twelve dollars.
1t was known that General Washing
ton would decline to draw his salary,
and that while he remained President
the salary voted to the chief magistrate
fixed the salary for subsequent incum-
bents of the office, and it was very gen.
orally condemned for its wilful extrav-
agance.
The Congress felt the air of opinion
out-of-doors very sensitNely. and the
President and his advisers sometimes
found now the one house and again the
other in a singular mood Of uneasiness
or suspicion.
The Federalists who gathered about
General Washington were watched very
narrowly to see that they formed no
court" about the President and accu-
mulated no private stock OF privilege In
their managing coteries.
Their more democratic opponents made
merry over their affectations of social
preference and their manners copied
from an aristocracy over sea; and their
mirth had in II oftentimes touch of
sardonic bitterness.
The prejudices of such critics were
based Upon their own radically simple
lives. Their fears of plots and usurpa-
tions. Of aristocratic pretension and the
insidious bringing in of notions of gov
ernment which would be more suitable
for a monarchy than for n democratic re-
public sprang wholly from what they
knew and had had taste of from very
different world across the sea.
A spectre Of tyranny stalked always
somewhere in their forecasts of the fu-
ture and in all their uneasy criticisms OF
the present.
Their governors found 1t necessary not
only to be but also to seem servants. not
of one class or Of any special interest.
but of the whole people.
Tomorrow-A Democratic People.
