to Washington prior to the formal an

II is only fair to say that as a gem

his associates are disposed to discount
the reports concerning the alleged ac-
tivitles Of German spies. For example.
a report reached the Department to-day
that a wireless station Is in operation
In the residence section OF Washington,
and the deduction was made by some
persons that the apparatus was being
secretly used by German agants. So

officials were apprised OF its existence

corning Charges.

WASHINGTON, Aug. 1S.-That the Sec
rotary Of the Navy will authorize an
inquiry to determine wlrat truth there
is in a newspaper statement that a clerk
In the Navy Department Is on the pay
roll OF the German Government n has
furnished intelligence to German agents
seems to be assured.
Secretary Daniels to-day addressed a
letter on the subject to John Rathom.
editor OF the Providence Journal. The
charge OF the Journal was to the effect
that the supposed presence of the spy
in the Department VA communicated
TO Mr.. Daniels several months ago In
the course of a conference in which Mr..
Daniels. Mr.. Rathom and Capt Oliver.

took part
At that time Mr.. Rathom presented
data which seemed to support his state
ments that the Sayville wireless station
on Long Island, which is controlled by a
German company. but which In now
being supervised by the United states,
was sending messages to Berlin in vlo-
lation OF the American neutrality laws.
MIR. Rathom contended that messages
which appeared to be harmless on their
fare really carried intelligence OF value
to the German Government
Some of these messages related TO
consignments OF merchandise, such as
inquiries bout shipments OF silk. and
others purported to be answers TO ques-
tons about relatives who were repre-

According TO Mr.. Rathom. some of
these messages carried the news TO Ber-
lin that certain vessels were about 10

war aboard. and this news was COM
inundated to commanders OF German
submarines. As "A result the censorship
at Sayville was made more rigorous, and
under Instructions from Secretary Dam

Island station which arouse suspicion
or appear 10 he OF a doubtful character
are forwarded To Washington for con-
sideration by Secretary Daniels and ex-
perts in the Department.
Secretary Daniels said to-day he could
not recall that Mr. Rathom said any
thing abou a spy in the Department In

ton. Capt. Oliver was consulted BY
Mr.. Daniels and he too failed to recall
hat Mr.. Rathom had communicated
any information OF this character. In
the letter forwarded to Mr.. Rathom
Secretary Daniels asked for more details
concerning the ~latter's charge.
Ia this connection It was learned to-
day that several weeks ago naval Off
GERS became suspicious that some one
in the Department was forwarding in
telligence to German agents. This was
when experts We're making "A test Of a

The total vote OF the State for the
principal candidates was as follows:

"Mr. Steen arrived in Bismarck
last Friday evening over the North
500. He spent Saturday attending to
board meetings and his Office duty.
He went east on the Northern Pacific
at 1923 p. m, Sunday, sept. 10, so he
could hardly have been in Minot or in.
Bismarck on the morning Of Sept. 20.
1T is not true that the general fund
is ov%erdrawn, nor that the state audi
tor has issued checks which are out
standing and which there are no
funds to meet. If every check issued
and outstanding were presented to the
state treasurer for payment, he would
have now, or would have had at the
time, funds to pay all of them and
still have a balance in the general
fund.
"The %purported interview is further
untrue in that it states he has and
will continue to refuse absolutely to
pay any warrant on any fund in
which there is not sufficient money
to meet it, No warrant Of the state
auditor has ever been refused pay
ment by the state treasurer, and the
state treasurer has al did overpay
and overdraw two appropriations,
which appropriations still appear on
the records IS ~overdrawn and over
paid. He has overpaid the mainten-
ance capitol fund in the sum of $4,-
1880, and the nublic printing fund in
the sum of $9,736.S7.
PERSONALLY / do rot believe that
Mr.. Steen would give out such an in
terview, nor do l believe that he is at
all alarmed about the states finan-
cial condition. The conditions arc
about the same as they appear at this
time any year following a meeting OF
the legislative assembly. the expense
of which. together with necessary
emergency appropriations naturally
make the expenditures for the year,
high. An unusual item is that at this
time 25 per cent Of the 1914 state tax
es are unpaid. With threshirg in full
blast all over the state it is likely
that DELINQUENT taxes will soon be
paid, and the general fund replenish-
ed. The state officials and employees
do not appea: to he worrying about
the payment of September salaries"

Bulgaria's Attack on Serbia.

Search through the dispatches re-
veals no word to justify .Bulgaria's
attack upon Serbia, now under way
against the southeastern border in
conjunction with the onset of the
Teutonic allies against the northern
area. Before the world Bulgaria
stands as an aggressor with no bet
ter excuse than selfish desire for
more territory, induced to adopt the
role of an enemy by the promises
given by Germany and Austria of as
slstance in the acquisition of coveted
areas belonging to the little state
now hemmed in by hostile forces.
Bulgaria has played an ignoble part
ever since the close of the first Bal
kan war, when she turned upon her
allies of the campaign against Tur-
key and sought to repudiate the
treaty of peace by which she was al
lotted smaller share of the spoils
than she had hoped to gain. Her
treacherous attack upon Serbia then
was swiftly punished and in the Sec
Tond adjustment she suffered a deple-
ton which was we'll deserved. Her
present action is plainly inspired by
a. desire for revenge.
Germany has played shrewdly upon

dore Roosevelt, and the democrats
then carried both Congress and the
presidency.
As the redemption of their tariff
promise, the democrats enacted the
Underwood law. But while the meas
ure was in the shaping in Congress
it received but scant support from
the bull moosers. 1t was not to the
liking of the leading bull moosers, all
of whom are professed protection
lists. And the law today is not to
their liking To it they ascribe much
evil to business; and they want it
displaced for a law drawn on pro-
lection lines.
Mr.. Borah was a progressive in
1912, but did not become a bull
mooser. He did not follow Mr.. Roose-
welt out of the republican party, and
hence has had no return journey to
make. He speaks now, therefore, as
a republican who has always been a
republican, and hence with rightful
appeal to all who desire republican
success. He is not a prodigal back
home, with a spirit and plan for run
ming the place.
Mr.. Borah did not vote for the I'm
derwood measure when it was before
the Senate. Neither, did he offer
substitute. But as he is protection
ist it is assumable that no tariff re-
vision will command his support
which does not recognize protection
as the true American policy.

Small-Loan Problems.

Sentiment throughout the District
is in favor of reasonable enlarge
ment of the interest limit on small
unsecured loans, to give borrowers a
better chance to, obtain funds IN
emergencies without resorting to IL
legal methods or leaving this juris-
diction. The other night the North
east Washington Citizens Associa-
ton went on record to this effect,
voicing a demand for the amendment
of the so-called loan shark law. That
law was framed to protect small bor-
rowers from usurers.. 1t has in prac-
tice worked hardship on people OF
small means who occasionally feel
the. need of raising money.
The new legal limit of interest is
SO low that there is small inducement
for investment of capital in this bust
ness of lending without security on
the partial-repayment basis, and in
consequence few firms are now doing
business in a strictly legal manner,
| Others having moved across the boun-
dairy or quit Subterfuges and eva
sions are employed to evade the law
in some instances, and much of the
borrowing is thus done virtually in
secret, with resultant injury to Dor
rowers. To cure this condition it is
necessary to find a system Of money
lending on this scale that will meet
the requirements of persons without
capital or reserves, while yielding a
sufficient profit to enable lenders to
remain in business.
One local misfortune is that caused
by the nearness of territory within
which real "loan sharks" may ply
their trade unnolested. The Distric,
has. been unable thus far to regulate
these operations, even though in al
essentials the business is conducted
actually within this jurisdiction
When the question OF a new legal
rate for small unsecured borrowing
lis brought before Congress this win
ter, as it is expected to be, the mat,
ter of interstate regulation should
also be considered to the end of cur.
ing the undeniable evil of the main.
tenance of a business in Washington
and across the border which is con.
trary to the law here.

Mr.. Borah on the Situation.

Senator Borah. conspicuous in the
speculation about the republican
nomination for President, said re-
Gently:
Our ultra-conservative friends who
assume that the liberal sentiment in
this country has been dying out, or
that the pendulum is swinging back,
are greatly in error. Those who
hold that opinion have not been out
among those who cast votes; and so
far as ! am concerned / feel more
deeply interested in the liberal CAM
paign OF 1916 than l did in that of
1912, because / feel that the issues
have become more vital"
The disappearance of the bull
moose party-there is but skeleton
left-and the heartened condition OF
many republicans are both ascribable
to the feeling that ultras will no,
write the next republican platform
nor conduct the campaign to be
waged on it. Neither the ultra-con-
servatives nor the ultra-progressives
will be likely to control the republi-
can national convention. The plat
form must be an up-to-date deliver
ance, taking into account the dis.
agreements which divided the party
in 1912, and providing broad basi:
for the reunion necessary to success:
in 1916. Domination by the extrem.
lists at either end of the republican
line would mean a walk-over for the
democrats.
The tariff will cut figure of i'm
portance next year. In 1910 the cleo
ton turned on the Payne revision

The Arlington Amphitheater.

At Arlington today, with impress
sive ceremonies. the corner stone Of
the great amphitheater in memory
of the nations heroic dead is laid.
On the crest of the hill rising from
the Potomac, in the midst of the no.
Bile trees of the reservation dedicated
to the men who sacrificed their lives
in patriotic endeavor, this structure
will stand as conspicuous token of
the nations appreciation and graft
tude, visible from afar, eloquent of
the higher motives that animate man
kind in the supreme crises.
In practical sense this construe-
ton will serve an important purpose,
atfording suitable meeting place for
those who assemble from time to
time to pay tribute to the country's
martyrs. There is no lack of real
value in thus providing an equipment,
on monumental scale, for such gath
erings. Every one who attends a
ceremony within the amphitheater
will gain fresh concept of the ma
tional responsibility. Citizenship will
be strengthened by the manifestation
of substantial recognition of a SEN
timent that has its roots in real de-
votion to the country's needs.
That it has taken fifty years to pro-
vide this memorial does not detract
from its present value. 1t has come
in the course of an elevation which
is steadily solving the federal prob
lens and creating the external
tokens of substantial nationality.
Those who have worked for decades
for this accomplishment are entitled
on this occasion to feel deep sense
of pride in their success and deserve
thanks for their services.
