American financial conference All
were represented by men with un-
derstanding OF their needs and COM
petent to speak for them. Those men
did speak in terms conveying desire
to improve the extraordinary situa-

The spirit Of brotherhood marked the
deiiberations and the conclusions
reached.
All phases of the situation were dis
eussed. The resources Of the hemi-
sphere were cansassed. What each
continent could and should do for the
other was clearly set forth. North
Americas financial strength and
Central and South Americas invit-
ing fields for the display Of that
strength were described fully. but
without Boosting.
The subject seems new, and yet as
a matter of fact it is almost as old as

Cloture, and an Extra Session.

Mr.. Kern, the democratic leader of
the Senate, recommends an extra
session of Congress. to be called
early in October. Primarily, he has
in view passing cloture rule for the
Senate. A committee, appointed last
winter, has the subject in hand, and
will be ready to report when Con-
sress meets. Mr.. Kern expects op-
position to cloture, but thinks a vote
could be obtained in six weeks.
Other senator's have recommended
an extra session for different rea-
son. They have in mind an early
adjournment next spring, in time to
enable senators and representatives
to give attention to some of the pre-
liminary work of the national con-
ventions- Two months employed
next fall would, they think, hasten
adjournment by that much. As they
figure, seven months should be suf-
feient for transacting the busines. to
be presented to Congress; and three
months this year and four next
would bring Us TO May I. good time
for putting up the shutters.
Mr.. Kern would devote the extra
time this year to one subject, and
that subject not connected with
either the routine or the issues popu-
iarly scheduled for action when Con-
gress assemblies. If six weeks should
be necessary to dispose of cloture,

Heroes All.

The world is full of heroes who are
willing to advance
To posts on which the stoutest soul
might fear to take chance,
When a man accepts an Office he is
set upon with glce
By people who assign themselve. to
give the third degree;
They talk about his future with a
supercilious sneer.
And when his past is mentioned they
make observations queer.
Yet when some opening calls for an
intrepid man to serve
The vast response will prove our
heroes haven't lost their nerve,
They make him think I'D speeches,
howsoever tired his brain;
They dig up knotty questions which
they ask him to explain;
They make him wear his Sunday
clothes, and try to look severe,
And squander all his substance in
the ways of social cheer.
His services they fail to answer with
sincere applause;
The way that he must suffer might
bid any hero pause.
And yet when there's vacancy a
mighty throng behold
OF heroes new preparing to replace
the heroes old!
Evening star., 1915-05-31

only five months would remain for
the supply bills and other matters,
putting May I. or even June I. out
Of the question for adjournment day.
A good deal of debate and much
party maneuvering arc always on the
congressional card on the eve of
presidential campaign.
And another point is to be taken
into account If cloture is put for
ward at the beginning of the ses-
sion, the situation in the Senate will
become complicated and much warm
feeling be aroused. Both parties are
divided on the subject. If there are
republicans who favor cloture there
are democrats who as earnestly op-
! pose it: and in six-week clash un-
der rules allowing unlimited debate
about limiting debate feeling might
rise SO high it would affect all the
! work of the regular session.
! Cloture is large order Applied
/ in the Senate as it is in the House.
it would wipe out the minority COM
pletely. and affect all legislation. As
between free debate. and no debate
at all if so decreed by the majority,
tho Senate. one of whose functions
is to examine. and, if necessary, re-
| cast hasty work of the House, should
not hesitate. but continue to deserve
its happy Characterization of the

multiplied i'll both continents about
bringing the inhabitants of the hemi-
sphere into closer relations Of every
kind. So great was the subject, it
rose above party with us. and met
with favorable response from all
parties. Wings and democrats. and
then republicans and later-day demo-
Gratis. spoke through their leaders for
the cause
Let us in this country take respon-
sibility for the slow progress made.
Ours the initiative, ours should have
been steady and systematic over
lures. instead of the halting course
which has given our European COM
petitors the advantage.
Let it be said in explanation, how
ever, that we had big task at home,
and have been very much occupied
with it. We have been developing a
great empire; and have done the
work so thoroughly we are now well
to the front in all that goes to make
a puIsSant nation.
More than ever now are true the
memorable words OF President Nc
kinley. spoken of the country on the
eve OF death: The day of exclusive
ness is past" We have the means
and the incentive at last to carry us
far i'll the fields of world endeavor ;
and it we ignore the opportunity. or
nisinterpret it. We shall pay penalty

Memorial QaY.

Memorial day has special slgnltl-
| cameo this year. deeper meaning
| than at any time since the institu-
ton OF the custom OF covering the
graves of the nations soldier dead
with flowers in token of the coun-
try's appreciation OF patriotic sac
| riiiccs. a year ago the world was
at peace, and Memorial day was OBJ
served with no clouds upon the IN
tcrnational horizon. Today virtually
all OF Europe is battlefield, with
| millions OF men engaged in desper-
ate struggles, men OF many nations,
aligned i'll two great camps. fighting
for their countries as a result OF a
political crime in Bosnia.
1t is impossible to stand by the
grave of an American soldier on this
day in the spirit of the occasion with
out rejecting on the terrible losses
OF life which the warning nations Of
Europe arc suffering. and on the de-
vastation that is being caused in
those lands. In the ten months of
war more lives have been destroyed
than in all the four years of the
great American civil conflict upon
which Memorial day is founded.
More men have been crippled for
life, more homes have been de-
stroyed, more economic devastation
caused Should the conflict in Eu-
rope last as long as did the Ameri-
can war the results in human vast
age will at the present rate be ap-
palling. Not for generations will the
effects of this tremendous contest be
abated.
The United States is today a united
nation. despite the wrenching asun
der Of ties in the four years OF sec
tional fighting. The wounds of that
war are healed. and this restoration
OF full national health is never more
definitely demonstrated than on Me
mortal day, when all the lines that
marked the struggle of half CEN
tury ago are obliterated and the blue
and the gray of that supreme trial
commingle at the graves of the ma
tion's heroes in spirit OF true 10y
atty to the one flag that now floats
over the entire country. Can Eu-
rope in an equal time be restored to
harmony? Will it be possible within
half century from the close of the
war thus to present an aspect of
brotherhood while extolling the brav-
cry and the heroism OF those who
fell for the principles they held dear?

Sane Fourth in Pennsylvania
From the Pbiladelphia Inquire,

Senator Jenkins bill to enforce a sane
celebration Of the Fourth of July ought
to pass. 1t Is drastic. but that 10 what
the situation requires. In the last few
years there has been great appeal for
casualties has decreased only where
the law is behind the movement So
long as boys can get fireworks and set
them off as they please there can be
little hope that their ardor will be re-
strained. They are not moved by the
number Of deaths and painful injuries
every year. They are not Logical
enough for that. and parents are su-
pine. The Jenkins bill goes to the root
Of the matter by making II difilcult to

Germany's S Reply.

The German reply procrastinates
as. TO reparation both in the I'ulflight
and the Lusitauia cases.
The accountability for damages
done to American ships in the war
zone" by submarines without search
or warning and to American lives
and property on such American ships.
" disclaimed by Germany. is recog-
nized in tho note The rules of in
ternational law will be observed in
respect to such ships. and even when
ado runners the lives of the men
aboard them will be viewed as pro-
tcctcd by the customary safeguards.
This assurance is fair Inference
from the words and references OF
tho note.
But rcparation. though thus prom
ised in respect TO the Guifiight. the
Cushing and the Nebraskan. If she
was in fact torpcdocd by German
submarine. is postponed for investi
CATION of the facts by Germany. and
perhaps ultimately by The Hague
tribunal.
No reparation is made or prom
ised in respect to the Lusitania pend
: ing settlement OF the issues of fact.
The German contention is that the
: Lusitania was an armed warship of
England. Our contention is that she
was an unarmed. undefended mer-
chairman. 1t is agreed that she
openly carried as part of her freight
boxes of ammunition, but under in
: teInationai law this fact alone docs
:, not make her lose character as an un-
defended merchantmen.
The issues OF fact as to the Lusi-
tania's defended or undefcndcd,
armed or unarmcd character should
be quickly determined.
The rules which hereafter shall de-
eide the defended or undefended
character of the merchantmen OF bel
ligcrents and the rights of neutrals
dependent thereon may properly be
worked ont by negotiations between
the United States, representing all
neutral nations. Great Britain and
Germany.
But before this negotiation repara-
ton must be made by Germany in
the Lusitania case for arbitrarily and
alone setting up new rule OF inter
national law restricting the rights OF
neutrals; and for enforcing it by kill
ing American men. women and chill
dren. while her right to make and
enforce this new rule against neu-
trails was denied by the United States
and was at issue.
The nation has confidence that
President Wilson will press yigor-
ously for the reparation 10 which we
are entitled, and when that has been
secured will endeavor TO bring about
those negotiations between the
United States, Great Britain and Ger
many which will primarily safeguard
neutral rights against violation by
the beliigerents through the adop-
ton of rules governing submarine
warfare upon belligerent merchant
men, and which incidentally will, it
is hoped, do away with the whole
savage reprisals policy of competi-
tion in starving or killing by violence
non-combatants.
The immediate issue is the qucs-
ton of prompt and complete repara-
ton in respect to American lives lost
in any and all of the torpedoed mer-
chant ships. The whole nation is
back of President Wilson in what
ever steps he may take in pursuance
Of this policy. which, formulated by
him, has been approved by the Amer
lean people. ..
