allied enemies are growing stronger
every day Another year and she VIII

not that-and far worse OF, for she viii

luded people.
So, Mr.. President. fly to her rescue:

a few thousand lives now and gratifying
the passionate pacifists. who cannot
sleep O. nights for thinking OF prema-
turc death and indisputable misery. de-
sert the two great countries from whom
we have derived all We know and are

lions in short. our cIviliZation-and who.
incidentally. are entirely in the right in
this Iamentable war. and swing back the
world full century and half. I am
sure. Mr.. President, knowing how you
pride yourself upon being a fool and n
mere sensation monger, you will line
yourself right up with your ex-secre-
tary and thrust your whole fist into the
European pie at the bidding OF a body of
women whom 1t is your highest ambi-
ton 10 witness rocking the cradle OF

But my huge consolation would be. II
we had a President less wise and far
sighted than Mr.. Wilson. that he
couldn't do thing to stop this war. no
matter how willing he was to make the
effort. This war will stop when Great
Britain says It shall. and not a moment

Not Wholly Consistent.

In their written arguments before the Joint
Congressional Committee, in the course Of hear
ings on the half-and-half plan, District Commits
sioners Newman and Brownlow frankly admitted
that the act of 1873 was in very large part re-
sponsible for the orderly and rapid growth of the
National Capital. However, they declared that
the effect of the half-andhaf plan was psychology
cal and that this psychological influence is no
longer needed, having entirely succeeded in Great
ing "appropriating habits" in Congress, which
look to the continued growth and Identification of
the National Capital
Returning from three weeks tour OF invcsti-
CATION Of commission forms OF government in
other municipalities, Commissioner Newman de-
clared Yesterday that the District Of Columbia
leads all her sister cities in efficiency of munich
pal government through commission administra-
ton. The commission form of government, under
which the District now operates, was created by
the act of IS7S-the half-and-haf act-and is an
integral part Of the economic system in operation
under that act. 1t depends upon the halfand half
plan Of meeting District appropriations, because it
depends upon a reasonable degree Of independence
of Congressional interference for its fullest eci-
ency One of the strongest psychological effects
of the haf-andhalf plan as far as it affects Con-
gress is to create respect for this limited freedom
of action on the part of the Commissioners
Apparently, by his own words, in urging the
abrogation of the half-and-half agreement before
the joint fiscal committee, Mr.. Newman has placed
himself in the position of depresating the high
efficiency of the District government which he
claims for it after studying other municipalities.

December, there be those who say
That thou art cold, and bleak, and gray,
And of all Natures graces free;
That thou art time of ice and snow,
That bitter blasts about thee blow,
And few the flowers fair that grow
In these chill days we get from thee.
And yet hold thee more than dear
For to my heart thou bringest cheer.
And joys of Faith that never cease,
For ne'er was richer gift of Spring
In fragrant bud, or poisoning
Of love, than in thine offering
OF our beloved Prince of Peace.
