ernment have been presented to
Congress at various times, showing
that, though other nations give resi-
dents of their capitals a voice in
their municipal affairs, these ma
tions spend large sums upon the
cities. Especially is this true in the
Old World, where the city, as a
unit, is much more strongly respect

THE BRITISH LOSSES

The loss of 15,s40 officers since
the war began, as announced by the
British war Office, is a grim COM
mentary on the cost of the struggle.
In the region of the most intensive
fghting-the Dardanelles and Gal
lipoli-occurred the bulk of the cas-
ualties for the last fortnight, a total
of 1900.
Much criticism of the British cam
paign against Turkey is based upon
such admissions of the price which
Britain and France are paying for
small gains. This explains the ur-
gency of the allies to adjust the sit
uation in the Balkan peninsula and
obtain help in reducing Ottoman re-
sistance. An attack on Constanti-
nople from the land side would be
the easiest and least costly way to
open the Dardanelles. The Bulgar-
ians would only be carrying out to
it's conclusion a task they success
fully began in the war of 1912, but
which was frustrated by the cholera
in the Turkish trenches and intima,
tions that Russia would regard with
displeasure any further advance by
Bulgaria.
In a present day Bulgarian ad
vance upon Constantinople. no sucf
opposition would be offered. Fur
thermore, a Bulgarian army opsrat
ing in conjunction with the allies
would be far better equipped thar
was the one which drove the Turks
into their last ditch in 1912. Un
satisfied aspirations are keepinf
Bulgaria's hands tied, and the diplo
macy of the big allies is continuing
lexertions for the restoration of har
mony and the entrance of Bulgaria
into the field.

THE VOTELESS CITY

congressman who believe the citi-
zens of the Capital are overzealous
when they point out that no other
nations capital leaves it's citizens
with so little voice in their own af-
fairs should read the remarks of
Joseph Johpston, an English civic
expert, who has been studying city
governments all over the world.
Mr.. Johnston terms Washington
an "enigma." Even in Paris, he
states, city long regarded as being
under extensive national control, the
voters elect a municipal council

they have been called.

IT'S SAN FRANCIScO's TUR N

Time was, not many years ago,
when a desperate calamity to an
American city proved huge boon
to certain industries. The great dis
aster, which we believe the native
sons with proper delicacy have
termed "the California earthquake
and San Francisco fire." made neces-
sary the immediate rebuilding Of the
town, an engineering operation
which some authorities have de-
clared even more wonderful than
the contemporaneous construction
of the Panama canal. That recon-
struction made a demand for struc-
tural materials, especially products
of iron, that caused Frisco's misfor-
tune to look like blessing to some
other communities.
But i'll winds blow their good and
bad in no one direction very long.
San Francisco's time has come to be
the gamer by somebody's else mis-
fortune. The war has come just
when San Francisco would have
wanted it-if there must be a war,
that is. 1t has barred travel from
Europe, turned Americans to intro
spection, and made the exposition a
huge success.
A few days ago the fair manage
ment announced they were out of
debt. The $1,20O,000 mortgage was
burned. More than 100000 per-
sons have visited the big spectacle
already, and it has more than three
months to run. The fairs prosper
Iity may not attain degree enabling
it's management to repay the money
contributed by State and city, each
of which donated $5,0G0,O00, while
citizens gave $7,5O0,0O0 in subscrip
tions for stock. Whether this can be
repaid is yet doubtful. But when the
big shows gates are closed it will
have recorded financial success fal
ahead of that attained by any pre-
vious exposition. San Francisco de
plores the war, no doubt, but feel
AS cheerful about it as any com
immunity.

FEAR SWEDEN MAY

May Abandon Neutrality.
BY WILLIAM G. SHEPHERD.

LONDON. Sept 1s.-what will
Sweden do?
This is a question being asked with
frequency in England.
No one knows why Sweden should
do anything. But that she will do
something shortly. favoring one side
or the other in the great war. seems
to be an established opinion.
1t Is undeniable that popular
opinion. based on more or less re-
liable information. is that Sweden
will shortly throw in her lot with
Germany. Investigation among diplo-
mats develops these facts:
Germany is doing her best to bring
Sweden into the war.
There is a party in Sweden that
favors Germany. and is willing to
have the Swedish army help the Ger
mans. This party includes the hnan-
cial interests. but Is in the minority
numerically.
The progressive party. which out
voted the reactionary party two to
one in the last election, is anti-Ger-
man and anti-war.
The war party in Sweden is trying
to create popular sentiment against
Russia took Finland from Sweden.
The militarists of Sweden are of the
German school; the Swedish army is
trained on German lines: the sympa-
thies OF many Swedish militarists are
with Germany.
Sweden's democracy is being severely
tested on the war question. II this
democracy succeeds Sweden will not
enter tho war. -'.r

PROBLEMS OF WAR

New methods of warfare not only
entail new methods of national de-
fense for non-combatants, but they
bring host of other problems trail
ing in their wake.
Some of these new problems of
the present war fall most heavily
upon those who minister to the suf-
ferers. This is illustrated clearly
by the range of topics to be dis
cussed at the convention of the As
sociation of Military Surgeons,
which convened here today.
: Wounds of shot and she'll and
dangers of infection we're formerly
the range of work required of the
army surgeon and nurse. But now
these have to put their heads to the
study of the obscure physical effects
of poisonous gases, of chemical
bombs, of the dangers Of subma-
rines, and of various nervous and
mental disorders created by the tre-
mendous reverberations Of the
heavy guns.
Then there is a growing effort to
protect armies in the field from the
ravages of diseases like cholera
plague, typhoid, and others former

gines of destruction been so dead.

PURITY IN MILK

Milk dealers, as we'll as the pub
lie, would welcome legislation, as
urged in the report of Health Of
ficer Woodward, to create definite
standard of purity for milk sold
here although there might be wide
disagreement about what that
standard should be.
But even in the absence of addi-
tional legislation there are condi-
tions, which might be remedied if
the Health Department had an ap-
preparation sufficient for a more
thorough inspection of dairy farms.
There are certain unusual conditions
affecting the Districts milk sup
ply which make regulation here a
different matter from that of other
cities.
One Of these anomalies is the fact
that most of the milk used in the
District is shipped here from other
States. The District has most rigid
laws, including a tuberculin test, for
dairy farms in it's borders, but all
it can do is ac9uiesce in the vary
ing laws of the several States send
ing us milk, and make periodical in
spections for cleanliness and sani.
tary handling.
DR.. Woodward has frequently
called attention to the fact that
dairy farms at long distances from
Washington receive inspection al
too infrequent intervals. Also, there
is a great gap in the laws requir'
ing proper shipment Of milk here.
The farther away the farm tht
greater should be the care in hand
ling and shipping. But, in the pres
ent situation, the farther away tn
farm the less is the supervision, ant
the greater the opportunity TO,
shipment under unfavorable condi
tions.
A thorough inspection Of all dair!
farms shipping here, and Law
which would empower the Distric
to require certain shipping stand
ards if milk is received here, woul'
tend to give greater confidence il
the purity of the milk supply
Washington users of milk usual,
are much more concerned that tn
milk should be clean and pure, tha
that it should be properly pasteur
lied. Attention to the first points, i
most cases, would obviate the neces
sity of bothering much about tn
second.

THE GERMAN AND HIS CITIZEN.
SHIPS

A part Of the preparation Of Ger
many for the present war was the
establishment among German people
everywhere Of an ideal of citizen
ship that would make them most
useful to their country when the
supreme test should come. This has
not been we'll enough understood in
this country. One flag, one country,
one allegiance has been our ideal.
Two flags, two countries, two al
legiances has been the ideal taught
to Germans. A dual citizenship and
loyalty has been sedulously taught
by Germany-with the primary at
tachment to the Fatherland.
Away back in 1868 the Bancroft
treaties between the United States
and the German confederation pro-
vided that a German naturalized
here should be regarded by Germany
>as an American; and this was late,
confirmed by the present imperial
government.
Aliens taking the oath of ale,
glance to the United States must
"renounce forever all allegiance anG
fidelity to any foreign prince, po
tentate, power, or sovereignty"
This is all very smooth on the
surface. But now consider the Del
brueck law. This interesting statute
provides that a German citizen may
swear allegiance to any foreign
power and at the same time pre-
serve his German nationality by go
ing to the nearest German consu
and telling him that the oath of al
legihnce is not to be taken too
seriously. OF course, if the consu
