TRAINING CAMPS

Washington has hundreds of Gov
erlment employees with a full
months summer vacation who
would be qualified to undertake the
course of training at a vacation
camp.
That is only one reason why the
project suggested by members of
the Retail Merchants Association
for camp similar to that at Platts-
burg for District men is a happy
idea.
In Washington men already work
ing for the Government should be
especially imbued with patriotism.
They are apt to be more interested
in military matters than the aver.
age man of other cities.
These Washington men are of q
high order Of intelligence, many OF
them already are interested in out.
door sports, and they would welcome
the opportunity which such a camr
would afford. Fourteen men from
here are at Plattsburg now, which il
a high ratio in view of the distance
of that encampment from the
Capital.

TAKING THE HOME MARKET

This country will presently be
sending away war supplies at the
rate of a quarter billion a month,
according to the Department Of
Commerce estimates. The figures
are so big and impressive that they
may cause Americans to overlook
another aspect of the foreign trade
which is quite as important. That
is the capture of a great home mar
ket by home producers.
War supplies represent a most
timely contribution to the national
industrial activity, but they do not
stand for the creation of a perma-
nent industry. On the other hand,
the invasion and conquest of the
home market in many departments
where it has been under foreign con-
troll in the past is likely to be per-
manent and therefore much more
important.
Take meat and dairy products. In
May, 1914, we imported more than
ST, 100000 of these; May of this year
saw less than a third of this in the
receipts. We are compelled to get

THE ARABIC

Every bit Of additional informa-
eon from England indicates that the
sinking of the Arabic wss just such
. deliberately unfriendly" act as
vas contemplated by President Will
con when he used those words in his
Iusitania note.
There was no warning; no visit
end search; no attempt to prove the
liner armed. Americans among the
survivors insist that so unexpected
was the attack that the captain did
not have time even to try to escape
the submarine, as the Orduna did
recently.
The sinking of the liner with the
loss Of two American lives appears
also to be timed as Berlin's answer
to the last American note. No more
effective answer could have been
given; certainly none which proves
80 conclusively that the worlds con-
demnation of the Lusitania outrage
has not impressed itself one iota
upon the directors of the German
campaign of terrorism.
This country is now face to face
with condition which demands
forceful action. The country will
stand back of the President in what
ever action he NAV take

A JUST COMPLAINT

Merchants on Pennsylvania ave-
nue. have righteous grievance in
their protest against the absence Of
any branch postoffice in their vicin-
ity. They have urged their case
upon the postmaster and upon the
Postmaster General, and they will
be fully justified in carrying their
complaint to the President if they
decide to do so.
The lack of postoffice facilities for
nearly 1000 business men along
Pennsylvania avenue and intersect-
ing streets is another sample of the
efforts to make a showing of econ
omy at the expense of efficiency. 1t
is in line with the cheese pairing pol.
icy which resulted in firing out from
the City Postoffice the civil war vet
Grams, an action against which The
Times protested vigorously.

GREECE AT THE COUNTER

M. Venizelos is holding off; he is
not so certain whether it is now pos
sible for him to lead Greece into
the war or whether he wants to
head a national antagonism to the
determined purposes of King Con-
stantine. Moreover, he is intimating
that recent German successes make
it more necessary to the allies and a
graver thing to Greece to enlist on
the entente side.
All of which suggests that Greece
is doing some bargaining on her own
account. She doesn't care to pull
Italian chestnuts out of the Albanian
fire. She knows that in the Egean
and in Asia Minor there is plenty of
material from which the allied
powers can pay the price of Greek
support; and she wants a full meas.
ure, precisely as every country en-.
tering the conflict does. The method
of the Venizelos dickering suggests
that he is out to get the highest
price for his goods and knows that
they have gone up since his last ap.
pearance as chief bargainer for his
country.
The Venizelos methods have beer
compared with those of Cavour, but
the parallel is not very impressive
Cavour almost "jimmied" Sardinia's
way into an alliance with France anc
England in order to gain prestige
and support in his plans for united
Italy. Venizelos is not taking 81
many chances on gratitude; HI
wants his terms made in advance.

TEACHING EN- TO SWIM

The average man of middle age
who recalls the times when, in viola
ton of the strict maternal injunc-
ton, he ran away to the swimming
hole, spent the day in its natatorial
joys and then tramped home with
bare feet and head, vainly hoping
that his hair would dry out suffi-
ciently to remove the evidence Of his
transgression, will marvel at read
ing that Chicago contemplates
spending a million to help the chill
dren learn to swim. The Eastland
catastrophe, Of course, is the inspi-
ration.
Is it possible that there is need to
spend money getting the youth of
this degenerate day into the water /?
Thirty years ago all the millions
would not have been enough to keep
them out Of it. Do the children of
today live under such pitifully
changed conditions that they can't
get. the chance or are they an utterly
different breed?
If they must have an appropria-
ton to teach 'em to swim make the
appropriation. But there is vague
notion that the real way to produce
the desired result is to revert to the
good old method of strictly forbid
ding it and tanning their jackets
when they're caught with hair sus-
piciously wet,

Certain specialties in meat products
are denied to us; we are making
substitutes at home and will keep on
making them after the war.
In manufactures of wool we i'm
ported one-third as much last May
as in the same month year earlier.
There is no reason why, given q
chance and willing to take 1t, this
country cannot supply its own
woolens; certainly in. much larger
part than in the past. And 1t will.
Our imports Of knit goods in May
fell to less than one-third of the
$554,0OO they had represented year
earlier. If the foreigners ever get
back thc& trade they will have to
thauA awr carelessness for the privi-
lego. On, the exporting side we sold
sIarsAd last May more than $13,000,-
600 in knit goods, against $2,546, 900
the preceding May. That looks like
seizing the home market and making
a tremendous lunge into the worlds
market as well.
In shoes for men we exported in
May almost $1s,000,O0O of value,
against less than 100000 worth
the year before. When this war is
over there will be q demand for
American shoes abroad that will
continue despite all efforts of the
foreigners to reipstate themselves
simply because American shoes are
better, easier, more stylish; and, for
tunately for the introduction Of oul
shoes in Europe, the governments
there are insisting on getting good
goods and thus helping create repute
for our wares.
Let this war continue two years
more and this country will have
established itself firmly as the
worlds purveyor Of chemicals anc
dyestuffs. The world has had to ap
peal to us and we are taking hold t
supply it. First we must take car,
of the home demand, heretofore s,
largely dependent, especially fol
dyes, on Germany. The invasion o.
the home market will be permanent
if only our tariffs are adjusted t.
foster the business; and by the tim
the war is over we will have an Ad
ministration that will see sucl
problems through American spec
tacles.

NATURALIZATION RECORD

In the last year 335,0OO aliens liv-
ing in this country declared their
intention to become citizens, larger
number than in any previous year.
During the Balkan wars and the
more recent struggle great numbers
of aliens left this country to fight
for their native lands. Those re-
turning were informed that their
absence had invalidated their pre-
vious residence as a qualification for
citizenship and that they must begin
a new term of probationary resi-
dence. Many of these were COM
PEELED therefore to declare their in
tentions a second time, and the fact
may in some wise account for the
years showing.
The country is getting a new view
Of the problems of immigration and
naturalization. Almost $4,000
foreigners have asked naturaliza-
ton since the present naturalization
law passed in 1906; but it is strik-
ing fact that the 1910 census showed
that Of 100000 foreigners in this
country 100000 were unnatural
lied.
1t is altogether desirable that
alien-born persons be naturalized as
promptly as possible. To find fault
with them for their remissness is
unfair; our own laws, institutions
and thoughtless attitude toward the
matter are quite as much to blame
There should be inducements to
aliens to become citizens promptly
and the assumption of the new
allegiance should be made as i'm
pressive and significant as possible
1t has been with some shock that
this country has discovered of late
how lightly the obligation and sig.
nificance of citizenship are viewed
by some who enjoy its privilege.

Had any American lives been lost
by the sinking Of the Arabic. the United
States Government must have broken
of relations with Germany. President
Wilson made 1t very plain to the Berlin
government that such another outrage
as it's pirates committed upon American
citizens on the Lusitania would be made
q casus belli.
Further informato shows that
while no American lives were lost when
the Arabic was to.pedoed, the lives of
Americans were imperiled by the at
tack, and that their escape was the re-
suit of their own exertions and Of Brit
ish seamanship rather than any warn
ing given by the Germans. then war
may yet result from the incident.
II the Washington Government Is
convinced that in exercising their right
to travel upon British vessels Ameri-
cans are still exposed to German at
tacks. 1t may well ask itself why 1t
should wait until lives are actually lost
before resorting to arms against a ma
ton that ignores Its reasonable pro.
tests.
Surely the sinking of the Arabic will
fin to overnowing the cup of humilia-
ton that Germany holds to the lips of
the American republic.

GIVING WAshlNoToN's YOUTH
A CHANCE

It is unfortunate that q survey of
the vocational opportunities in the
District for public school graduates,
as proposed by the Superintendent
Of Schools, cannot include the city's
biggest employer. But the Govern
ment service is not directly available
as a place of employment because Of
the archaic apportionment law
which gives applicants from Oregon,
Tennessee, and Nevada the prefer
ence over District candidates even il
the formers civil service examina-
ton marks are not so high.
1t so happens that a considerable
number of the pupils who graduate
from the high schools here do
get into the Government service,
but they do it by a most indirect
route. Many of them go to other
States for a time, deliberately to es-
tablish a residence there, and then
take the examinations in those
States.
Some steps have been taken to
modify this condition. The civil
service regulations now prescribe
that the apportionment shall not be
absolute, but only maintained in SO
far as it does not affect the eff
cheney of the service. But that rule
never has been construed SO that
any large number Of young men and
women from this city can get into
Government employ.
Those who must slide in by the in.
direct route described lose time, and
the city loses them for the period
they are trying to fix a residence
elsewhere. The city loses many
other promising young men and
women because they decline to &c
through this long and tedious pro
cess. Those who do come back, fol
the most part, are trained in the
Washington public schools, and theil
success has shown how we'll tn,
schools here are equipped for sucl
training.
It is an encouraging fact thai
members Of the new economy com
mission are in favor of the entir,
abolition Of the apportionment rule
thus giving a free field to competi
tion, and thus insuring a highe
grade Of Government employees. II
such competition Washington boy
and girls could hold their own, an,
the Government would retain mucl
of the excellent raw material de
veloped here.

1t was the purpose of the German

We cannot conceal from ourselves the
gravity Of the situation to which this

have warned Germany that we should

from them. The terror of death at the
hands of the German submarine COM
manders closes to us the seas. upon
which we have the right to travel. Our

The Arabic has followed the Lusi-

the manner Of her going was the same.
Germany has put an end to our perley
over the sinking OF the Lusitania.
BY sinking the Arabic in exactly the
same harbarouG and illegal way a. she
sank the Cunarder. Germany gave a
more definite and decisive answer to our
contention than could possibly be con-
veyed IN the circumlocution Of diplo-
matte correspondence.
What we have to say now must be
equally definite and decisive Our last

that we should continue to contend for

There were twenty-one Americans on
board the Arabic. which was bound
from Liverpool to New York. A pas
senger ship on the way from Liverpool
to New York carries no munitions OF
war, no contraband Of any kind; there
fore the Arabic case cannot be COM
plicated by questions of arms and am
muntion such as were raised In con-
nection with the Lusitania massacre.
Every German submarine commander
knows that passenger ship from Liver
pool to New York. whatever flag she
flies. presumably carries American citi-
zens. II the commander Of the sub
marine which sank the Arabic delib-
erately destroyed an unconvoyed and
unwarncd passenger ship without TAX
ing the precautions prescribed by inter-
national law. 1t is to be assumed that
he intended deliberately to murder
