N OPPORTUNITY FOR the USE
OF BRAINS

The use Of little headwork has
served to relieve the troublesome
early morning congestion of street
cars at Fourteenth and F streets. A
little more applied intelligence
would complete the work of getting
the new arrangement to run
smoothly.
Most of the delay yesterday morn
ing seems to have been caused by
the practice Of permitting passen-
gers from the rear cars caught in
the jam to transfer to cars ahead.
The passengers were hurried along
to do this by the company's inspec-
tor, but, If that official could be made
to see that everybody would be bet
ter served by sending the car ahead
through the crossing and then load
ing the transferring passengers on
the car just behind, the situation
would be relieved.
Another element in getting the
cars through the traffic jam more
quickly this week was the station
ing Of a crossing policeman at this
point, beginning yesterday. For
merly this traffic policeman did. not
arrive until 8 o'clock, just after the
heaviest congestion period of the
day was over. ..... r.
The company officials say that it
should be possible to operate cars
at this point with a thirty seconds
headway, and they counted the cost
before installing the new schedule.
1t may be possible, but it will take
better headwork than was used dur
ing the early days of the experiment.

GULF OF RIGA'S BATTLE

Count Won Reventlow recently is
sued the remarkable dictum that the
British navy had done nothing worth
while in the war: the Typographical
confguration" of the North Sea was
responsible for whatever of naval
advantage Britain had held. BY the
same logic a Russian might have in
sisted that the German navy had
been entirely useless, but the "geo-
graphical confguratios" of the Bal
tic, the Cattegat and the Skager-
rack had neutralized Russian sea
power.
Geographical confguration is not
to be credited, however, with the
fact that there is no German war
ship on the seas of the world, no
vessel of German commerce on the
broad oceans, while the allies COM
mand the seas for their battleships,
their cruisers, their transports car
rying millions of troops, their mer-
chant marines moving the commerce
Of the nations. Aside from the as
saults of submarines on undefended
merchantmen the German navy can
claim nothing worth while as COM
pensation for the vast losses it has
suffered.
Most startling of all the testi-
monies that German sea power has
been overrated is the reported out
come of the struggle for domination
in the Gulf Of Riga. The Russians,
aided by British submarines, are
credited with sending one super.
dreadnaught, two cruisers, and a
long list of minor craft to the bot
tom and with driving away the big
German feet that was relied upon to

STRONG DRINK IN FRANCE

American temperance workers are
free from the gravest problems now
perplexing France. The increa sing
consumption of absinthe in the
cities during the past fifty years and
the fact that liquor is freely distilled
on the farms for home use have
changed nation Of moderate wine
drinkers to one where alcohol un.
checked is beginning to lead tc
physical degeneration.
The present war made possible q
law against the sale of absinthe
striving to undo the mistake of q
former war. During the Algerian
war OF 1914 in order to ward of,
fever the French soldiers were en-.
couraged to mix with their wine q
greenish alcoholic cordial made bit.
ter by absinthium.
This aromatic drink as served in
France has proved a deadly foe
One-fifth of the inmates Of lunatic
asylums lost their minds through
drinking sbsinthe. Those crazed by
alcohol have become insane in the
proportion Of one beer drinker to
four wine drinkers and 246 absinthe
drinkers.
A strong crusade has been begun
to secure a return to the former
drinking Of light wines. In the army
the popularity of the tea canteen
leads to the conviction that today
tea is favorite drink Of the French
soldier. Perhaps habits formed in
the trenches will displace habits
formed in Algiers and effect the res.
toration of temperance.

NO DoDoiNo, GENTLEMEN,

Even the most pacific pacifist
will be disinclined to give serious
consideration to efforts to shift the
responsibility for the Arabic's de-
struction. From Berlin comes> the
pretty story that the Won Tirpitz
admiralty isn't sure a submarine
sank the Arabic; it would ssk US to
suspect that maybe 4 mine might
have done the damaged
It Is too late for that sort Of
lodges. There is plenty Of testi-
mony that the torpedo was actually
seen. Moreover, does Won Tirpitz
ask American credence for the the
ory that the Britishers planted
mines around the south of Ireland?
Washington will be given time
enough to ascertain all the. facts
about the Arabic; but will find the
American public very unsympathetic
if it falls victim to any such clap
trap as this theory of the British
blowing up of their own boat.
There will be no dodging of this
issue. It has got to be met in a
Straightforward fashion, and when it
is completely made up the course Of
the United States will be so plain
that this people will permit no
wrong course to be takens

CHANGES AFTER THE WAR

Eduard David, Socialist member O
the reichstag, discussing the wa
credit demanded by the German gov
ernment, said among other things:
hold it to be my duty to add
that we expect a greater measure Of
liberty for the German people. With
this hope we shall vote for the new
credit. We must reach the goal of
equal civil rights attending equal
civil duties.
Whoever did not know 1t before
must have learned through this war
that the great masses Of the Ger
man people stand 80 high In eff
cheney, in the spirit Of Organization,
in the sense of social duty, that the
demand for full political equality can
no longer be refused. Creation Of
freer and higher conditions Of law
and culture among the people them
selves and in respect Of other peoples
must be the unalterable aim OF a
policy which strives for the best for
our own people and all humanity.
In struggling for that goal we vote
for the present war credit.
