For several years experimenters
have been at work upon the problem
OF wireless telephony. and success
has been accomplished in some meas
ure in that direction. Compar atively
short range wireless messages have
been sent by telephone over the land,
bur It has remained until now for the
stupenjous feat to be performed of
successful telephony simultaneously
from Washington TO Paris and Homo
lulu. The announcement that sem
tences spoken at the Arlington wire
less station were heard distinctly in
the French capital and in the Ha-
waiian Islands may be accepted as
the proclamation Of a triumph that
will develop into practical every
day use Of this method for the trans

to give Mr.; Wilson new running
mate next year.
If this story is true--it may be but
the idlest gossip-it takes but a poor
account of Mr.. Marshall-far too
poor-and much mistaken account
of the question. So radical and i'm
portant a change in Senate proce-
dure effected in any but the fairest
and most open way would injure the
Senate and benefit nobody. What
one side had done by a strained con-
struction of his powers by the pre-
siding officer the other side could un-
do by the same means when an OPP
portunity presented itself. And SO a
conservative body, long guided by
rules supported by both sides OF the
chamber, might become body of par
tisan sharp practices and surprises.
Cloture presents many difficulties,
and has been examined by parliament
tarians from all sides. Men have re-
versed themselves on the subject, the
advocates at one time being the op-
ponents at another time. As a rule,
those in favor of cloture have at the
moment some particular measure in
view. But the Senate's rules should
be. as they now are, for all measures
and all times, and without regard to
the political control of the chamber.

The fact that postponement OF

was necessitated last Saturday by
the inclement weather should not in
any degree lessen the interest of the
people of Washington in the affair
tomorrow. There should be a large
attendance at the Brightwood reser-
voir when the program of exercises
begins. If the skies are as clear and
the air is as pleasant tomorrow as
today ideal conditions will prevail for
this expression OF the public's appre-
citation OF the bands services.

The Democracy and Preparedness.

Some OF the eTnbarraSSfneHtSd dWd't-
ing the democracy in the matter OF
breparedness are now developing A
nartv caucus is suggested, by which
democrats opposed TO larger army
and navv may be bound. to the Fresi-
dents program before ii is formally
presented in Congress and taken up
for consideration there. The argu-
ment is that as the democrats con-
troll both houses of Congress and are
responsible for legislation they should
dispose of the matter and take the
credit. Whatever is done will enter
into the presidential campaign.
If this course is taken it will mean
a lively caucus, and hvelier time
later. Caucus action is legitimate
procedure. 1t is founded on the IN
contestable proposit on that the ma
jority should rule. How many demo-
Gratis in House or Senate hold to MI
Bryan's views is not at present
known. But it is a safe guess that
they are in the minority; that the
majority stand ready to support the
President.
Caucus action, however, if taken
should not be followed by course
in the open House suggesting gag
rule. Liberal time should be allowed
for debate The republicans will be
entitled to that. A great many of
them are advocates of,,preparedness,
and have done much to produce the
popular sentiment now existing on
the subject. 1t will be only fair,
therefore, to permit them to discuss
the subject in the light of both the
present and the past.
Men on both sides of the political
fence have in the past twelve months
shifted foot on the nationaEdefense.
That is to say, men who before had
been opposed to larger outlays for
military and navy purposes began
taking a new view of the subject, and
have now reversed themselves. None
has gone over from preparedness to
unpreparedness. - s--....
That the President has changed his
position radically is undenied. When
the subjec. was first presented to him
he pronounced it academic" He
dismissed it in pleasant fashion, and
seemed to forget it. But the war
has brought it forward in new
light, and he has been converted. He
is as much in favor now as he was
formerly opposed to an adequate ma
tienal defense, and will back his two
cabinet advisers, Secretaries Garri-
son and Daniels, with all the power of
his Office in their recommendation to
Congress.
What is most important, however,
is not what our public officials
thought and said six or twelve
months ago, but what their present
views are on an issue which must be
met, and should be settled on the
broadest lines of the national safety.

Mr.. Marshall and Cloture.

A story is in circulation purporting
70 give the inside" of the discussion
about retiring Mr.. Marshall. Many
persons have been unable to under
stand why Mr.. Wilson should be re-
nominated and his yokefeliow turn
ed down. If the one is entitled to in
dorsement why not the other? Ap-
parently, they have worked well in
office together, and Mr.. Marshall is
one of Mr.. Wilson's most cordial
eulogists. Ef#. 40 ..-.
AS the story goes, Mr.. Marshall is
simply being warned. There is as yet
no settled plan to deny him renomi-
nation. If he will ':be good" at the
coming session of Congress the mat
Ter win be dropped, Otherwise. it
will be pressed; and Ief hind out

pathy at the last session with the
movement TO force cloture. He did

rerpreted the parliamentary require
ments. Coture thus was defeated.
But the matter is coming up again

The Horror at Brussels.

I In its particulars the account of the
execution of Miss Cavell, an English
nurse, who was shot by the German
military authorities in Brussels as a
spy, increases the feeling of horror
that was felt Immediately upon the
announcement of her death. 1t is in
fnitely to the credit of the Ameri-
can minister at Brussels that he ex-
hausted every effort to obtain a re-
prieve for the condemned woman. So
rigid, however, was the German mili-
tary court, so insistent upon the en-
forcement of the extreme penalty,
| that no time was given for an appeal,
and the unhappy nurse was rushed
!! to execution within nine hours from
the announcement of her sentence.
! The haste shown in the case appears
to have been justified by none of the
!; circumstances. Indeed, it would seem
as though Miss Cavell was regarded
with special malevolence. Her offense
consisted of aiding Belgians of mill
tary age to escape to England, her
plea being that she feared that if they
remained in their own country they
would be shot. For this she was
given the shortest shrift, as though
she had been caught red-handed in
some wanton act of destruction or
treachery.
In striking contrast with the treat
ment of Miss Cavell in Brussels is
the sentence of six months imprison-
ment imposed upon woman recently
tried in London as a German spy.
Naturally these two cases will be
viewed together, to the disadvantage
of Germany. Already the Cavell case
is arousing intense indignation in
England. In London an enormous
meeting was held at Trafalgar Square,
| at which wreaths were placed upon
the Nelson Statue in honor of the
slain woman, and recruits offered
themselves in numbers to assist in
the avenging of her death.
Two other women accused in Brus-
sells of espionage, who were sentenced
to death, have been pardoned by En-
peror William. These women bear
French names. While it may be that
Miss Cave1l would also have been
pardoned had the military authori-
ties in Brussels delayed her case suf-
hciently to permit an appeal to Ber-
lin, the fact that she, an English
woman, was executed, while others
of a different nationality were par
doned, will be regarded in England
as additional proof of the intense
hatred felt for England by Germany.
The United States government may
find On full examination of the case
that its representatives at Brussels
received from the German authori-
ties there not full measure of con-
sideration in. the treatment of the
Cavell case. Minister Whitlock had,
of course, no positive right in the
premises officially, but the evasions
and actual deception practiced in
the course of the efforts to OBJ
tain clemency for the unfortu-
nate nurse constitute a record that
will not be relished by the American
people, apart from their natural feel
ing of horror for the brutal execu-
ton
