The Reply to the Third Note.

1t has been reported from Berlin
that in all likelihood the German
government will not reply to the third
American note on submarine warfare
tor at least six weeks. Meanwhile
the German newspapers are express
ing their indignation at the terms
and tenor of the note, and engaging
in vigorous protests against any sus-
pension of submarine operations at
the behest of the United States. The
situation as far as this country is
concerned is actually simple 1t really
matters little as a practical point
whether Germany replies or not, so
far as the main contention of this
government goes. So long as the
Germans conduct their submarine.
warfare humanely and in accordance
with international law by giving
warning to non-combatant vessels
sufficient to enable them to discharge
their passengers in safety before be-
ing torpedoed there is no specific
ground for American complaint. If
the German press has concluded from
the three American notes that this
government wants Germany to
abandon submarine warfare it has
suffered either from bad translation
or a lack of reasonable reading. 1t,
of course, does not follow that the
whole case which has resulted from
the sinking of the Lusitania is closed
merely through the abstention of
Germany from sinking vessels with
out warning. This government has
expressed its expectation that Ger
many will make reparation for the
American lives that were sacrificed on
the Lusitania, and that matter will ul-
timately require attention, whatever
meanwhile may be done or said by
Germany.

one force to the other, according to
schedule, as The Stars correspondent
suggests. 1t is doubtful whether any
material difficulty would be involved
for the government service itself. So
much work is to be done daily, and
it matters but little to the higher Off
Gals whether it is done between 8 80
and 4 or between 9 and q 80. The
very highest officials, as a rule, keep
much longer Office hours than the
clerks, and the separation of the
forces into two parts would not af-
feet them appreciably.
The public service commission, in
tent upon getting the best street rail-
way service for Washington posi-
bic, should take this plan under con-
sideration, with view to consulta-
ton with the department chiefs to
ascertain whether such method of
the traffic would be
practicable for adoption. No legisla-
ton would be required. An execu-
tive order authorizing the heads of
the departments to plan their work so
as to relieve this constantly increas-
ing congestion would suffice to effect
the change.

The Eastland Atrocity.

At the coroner's inquest yester-
day in Chicago the city, harbor mas
ter testified that he noticed the
steamer Eastland listed badly to port
seventeen minutes before she actual
ly turned on her side, and that as
soon as he saw her in this position
he notified the captain that he would
not be allowed to take the boat out
of harbor until she had been trim
med. The captain said he was then
trying to trim the ship, presumably
by filling her water ballast tanks.
Evidently something was wrong with
the machinery and the tanks would
not FILL or else the ship was so greatly
overcrowded and topheavy that the
ballast would not straighten her. In
any case, the CHASTITY mistake was
made of loading her before she was
ballasted. The harbor master testi-
fed, furthermore, that the vessel was
cranky" and was able to maintain
stability only when in motion, when
her screw action kept her on an even
keel. She was obviously an unfit
craft, and there is evidence that she
was certified to carry a much larger
number of passengers than should
have been permitted on board. From
every angle this case appears to be
one of the grossest negligence and
indifference to the laws of safety for
the sake of profit

Haitian Horrors.

Haiti is maintaining its record as
a country of revolutionary horrors.
The various overturns of government
there constitute a grewsome history
OF massacre and assassination. The
present situation is atrocious. The
governor of Port au Prince has exc
cuted 100 political prisoners, a veri-
table massacre for which there can
be no Justification His death follow
ed at the hands of a mob after he
had fled for protection to the Do
minican legation. A reign of terror
now prevails. The United States is
not directly responsible, and yet must
hold itself as accountable in a meas
ure for the maintenance of order in
Haiti. This is practically an impos-
sible task under existing conditions
in that republic. but a degree of
supervision is maintained through the
presence at Cape Haitien of an Amer
lean cruiser. Whether this country
will be compelled to intervene to
check these inhuman performances is
question that cannot now be an
swered. These Haitian outbreaks are
an outrage upon civilization

Illinois and the Presidency.

Illinois has three sons under dis
cussion in connection with the presi-
dency Senator Sherman and Repre-
sentative Mann have been in the
picture for some time, and now
Mayor Thompson of Chicago has
joined them All are good men.
Some of the Thompson boomers.
however, are a little off" in their
history In their references to Mr..
Cleveland they give the impression
that when nominated for President he
was serving as mayor of Buffalo. He
was, of course, serving as Governor
of New York. His success as mayor
had called attention to his strong
qualities, and thus he had recon-
mended himself for promotion
If Mr.. Thompson is to follow in
Mr.. Cleveland's steps he must score
in his present Office, and by means
of that success reach the governor
ship of Illinois. Then he must score
in that Office to such an extent as
to achieve commanding national
reputation. Then he may be ripe for
a presidential nomination.
But the question of Mr.. Cleveland's
luck comes in. Mr.. Thompson would
have to enjoy something of the same
kind in order to repeat Mr.. Cleve-
lands record.
Mr.. Cleveland had strong qualities,
but he also had phenomenal luck
When running for governor he got
the benefit of bitter republican di-
vision. Had the republicans stood
together Judge Folger would have
had substantial majority.
When running for President two
years later Mr.. Cleveland got the
benefit of another republican row.
Some of Mr.. Conkling's friends were
but languid supporters of their party.
Others were openly hostile to Mr..
Blaine on their chiefs account.
Otherwise Mr.. Blaine would have
carried New York handily. Mr..
Cleveland had been elected governor
by nearly two hundred thousand ma
jority. As candidate for President he
polled but a scant eleven hundred
plurality, even with the assistance of
the disgruntled Conklingites.
Mr.. Thompson will have to wait
for his beard to grow; but as he is
young he can afford to wait. He
has fine opportunity in his present
Office to make reputation. The
mayoralty of Chicago is a trust OF
both difficulty and importance. The
town is big, many-sided, and truly
cosmopolitan, and the man who di-
reefs its affairs successfully attracts
wide attention and receives much
praise. So that by 1920 or 1924, Mr..
Thompson, if he has luck, and sue
ceeds as mayor, and gets promotion
as reward, may be an interesting
factor and figure in our national af-
fairs.

The Volunteer Life.Saving Corps

Practical steps are being taken as
result of yesterdays meeting in
Maj. Pullman's Office to organize a
life-saving corps for the reduction of
water fatalities in this vicinity. Field
Representative Longfellow of the
Red Cross is to give practical demon
STATIONS of life-saving methods at
various points along the river, and
to instruct men and boys at the bath
ing beach. On the 9th of August
meeting will be held at the District
building to perfect the organization
of this volunteer corps, and it is
hoped that by this means the per-
centage of safety will be materially
increased. If all those who use the
water for pleasure and are capable
of swimming will adopt the practical
suggestions offered and join the vol
unteer corps the Potomac will be
patrolled, 90 to speak, by q sufficient

A Jersey Cyclone.

Cyclonic storms have produced
some remarkable freaks in this coun-
try and astonishing tales are told of
the performances of western lorna
does. Indeed, the annals of the Mis-
sissippi valley states, where the
whirling winds rage SO frequently,
contain happenings that are almost
beyond belief-houses picked up bod
lily and set down in adjacent coun-
ties, straws blown so firmly into tree
trunks that they cannot be extri-
Gated, church steeples turned COM
pletely around on their bases with
out topping, water blown out of
wells, leaving dry bottoms, and so on
through long list of eccentricities.
The eastern states have produced few
of these freaks, but from Jersey
now comes a tale that measurably
matches familiar Kansas and Ne
braska and Dakota happenings. Near
New Brunswick the other day mini
ature cyclone developed, in the
course of which baby carriage con-
tanning an infant was carried up from
the street and dropped in a field
three-quarters of mile away with
out in the slightest degree injuring
the child. The tale lacks somewhat
in details-for instance, if this were
western cvc1one IL would have car
ried the child in sleeping state and
deposited it without awakening it
but it is doing very we'll for New
Jersey at that.

A Way to Relieve Cougestion

Washington's traffic problem is
complicated by the fact that the ma
tority of the men and women who
work here go to their tasks at the
same hour. Whereas in other COM
munities there Is a distribution of
he traffic morning and evening, with
In a space of three hours, here viz
tually all those who engage in daily
work are In motion during one hour
in the morning and one hour in the
evening. The result is concentra-
ton upon the car lines that even the
most frequent Roadway cannot &C
commodate with any degree of COM
fort.
In another part of The Star today
appears letter from a correspond
ent touching upon this question
which deserves serious consideration.
He proposes that to relieve the traf-
hc congestion the department forces
be divided, as nearly equally as pos
sible, into two sections, one report
ing for work half an hour earlier
than the other, and correspondingly
leaving for home half an hour earlier.
By this means, he urges, the heavy
morning and evening traffic would be
distributed over an hour and half in
each period instead of over an hour
The plan is perfectly feasible. 1t
would involve, perhaps. some per-
sonal inconvenience in a few cases
but by adjustment this could be re-
duced to a minimum. The early and
late tricks" could be shifted from

occur. There are many hundreds IN
this District who frequent the water
and are capable of rendering aid in
emergencies. The practical point OF
the present movement is to get these
into systematic habit of watchtul-
ness and to train them in the spe-
cihc means of life-saving, SO that
when need arises they will be capa-
Bile of rendering assistance promptly

Goodbye,
July. -.
At last your stay
Grows short. You must be on your
way.
You are the month that queered the
rhyme
About the good old summertime. .
And put discord in the tune
That blossomed with the rose in June.
You deeked the summer girl with tan
And strangely CARRIED the summer
man.
You scorched US while we roved
among
The fields where critters buzzed and
stung.
The roads you loved to pulverize
And toss the dust into our eyes.
You grinned as from the blazing blue
The sun stirred up the heat anew.
Oh, you were hot, July,
And dry!
And 50 without sigh,
July.
