Hotel Eastmsn's Bridge Whist Party
 Enjoyable Affair.
 The Hotel Esstman's first bridge whist party of the season given by the management Wednesday night proved splendid success. The prize winners were Mrs Frank N. Gavit Of Whiting, Ind, and Mrs. A. H. Stange Of Merrill, Wis, and J L. Frederick of St Joseph, Mo, and M Schwed of New York city. Hereafter the bridge whist party will take place on Mon day night, the regular mid-weeNy in- formal assembly being the event of Wednesday night

examined. Congress besare voting
should know all the why's and
wherefores.
Here is the peril, and here will be
the test of the Presidents leader
ship and of the majority party in
Congress. Preparedness is not, but
taxation is, a partisan question.
Both parties in their national plat
forms have pledged themselves to an
adequate national defense, and there
is reason to believe that large ma
Jorities OF both parties in Congress
are anxious to redeem the pledge.
But when the new tariff law is
mentioned and sources of additional
revenue are brought up, republicans
are republicans and democrats demo-
Gratis. Party policies and shibboleths
are at once invoked. Men who want
the bulk of taxes collected at the
customs houses, and men who would
be glad to see customs houses abol-
ished altogether, come instantly into
collision. The only agreement is that
the policy of preparedness calls for
more revenue from some new
sources, or more revenue from old
sources.

Mediterranean Submarine Murder.

Almost every day brings word of
the sinking by submarine in the
Mediterranean Of vessel belonging
to one OF the belligerent powers. And
in nearly every case the initial report
OF the disaster, at least, tells that the
ship was struck without warning. 1t
is not known whether the submarines
that are doing this work are German
or Austrian; but they are evidently
following out policy of swift and
unheralded attack, with the result that
the death toll of civilians in the Medi-
terranean is mounting high.
The United States is at this time in
correspondence with Austria on the
subject of the steamer Ancona, sunk
in circumstances peculiarly shocking
to the people of this country, with a
heavy loss of life. Thus far it has
been impossible to obtain from. Aus
tria any acceptance of the principle
that Germany has in effect acknowl-
edged, that a merchantmen must be
fully warned before being torpedoed
and her company be given ample time
to escape IN safety 1t is difficult to
believe that Austria, with of course
full knowledge of the facts in the Lu-
sitania and Arabic cases, though not
a party to the immediate controversy,
should deliberately set out on policy
of unwarned attack, giving her Off
GERS of the submarine service instruc-
tions to destroy without mercy. Yet
the facts that almost every day brings
from the Mediterranean suggest that
this is the case, unless the officers
themselves are exceeding instructions
or cutting out their own courses of
action in the absence of specific
orders.
If the Ancona case follows the line
of the Lusitania and Arabic cases
Austria will be brought to an acknowl-
edgment of the principle for which
the United States has been standing
steadfastly from the beginning of the
submarine warfare, that no merchant
man which is not seeking to escape
or to destroy the attacking submarine
must be sunk without ample warning
and an opportunity for the crew and
passengers to reach a place of safety
1t is inconceivable that the govern
ment at Vienna will resist this limita-
ton. which has already been accepted
by Germany. Meanwhile, it is a de-
pressing spectacle that the Mediter-
ranean presents. If the slaughter of
the innocents is to continue until the
literal word 'of agreement is passed
every day of delay in the adjustment
of the Ancona affair lengthens the
period of submarine murder.

The Patterson Mansion.

Yesterday fire practically destroyed
the old Patterson mansion, situated in
grove OF trees in the northeast
section OF the city. 1t was land
mark. a relic OF the early days OF the
capital, when it was a center of social
activity in the suburbs. Architecture
ally it was rated as one of the best ex-
amples of its style, possessing many
unique features. Yesterdays fire
probably leaves it in such condition
that its restoration is impossible.
This is distinct loss to Washing
ton. A movement has been on foot
for several years to secure this tract
OF land for public park, for which
it is exceptionally well suited. The
Commissioners have recommended
the project to Congress, but without
result. Had their proposal been
adopted the land would have been
taken and the old mansion, with its
priceless souvenirs of the Washington
of we'll nigh century ago, would
have been carefully preserved, re-
stored in some degree to make it
suitable for use as rest house, but
remaining an object of interest to anti
quarians and students of early archi-
lecture.
Delay in this case has brought loss,
and this loss is illustrative of the
risks that are being continually run
through legislative procrastination.
There are numerous opportunities

ton of natural and artificial objects

Preparedness and Revenue.

This news comes from Hot Springs:
Congress will be urged by Presi-
dent Wilson to concentrate its at
tention upon the administrations
national defense program immedi-
ately after the Christmas holidays.
II was learned here tonight that
while the President has no desire to
see the preparedness plans rushed
through without full consideration
and debate. he is most anxious to
have the army and navy bills dis
posed OF as promptly as possible"
That is TO say. the amount OF sup
plies should be determined before
the question OF finding the money
The proposition will not be accepted
without considerable debate.
Preparedness is not a new topic. 1t
has been under discussion for some
years. The European war has SIM
ply brought out into bolder relief
truths with which American experts
have long been familiar but vainly
trying to impress on the American
public The President, though late
convert, had abundant time for
changing his mind. If therefore the
question of preparedness stood alone
Congress could well afford to vote
at an early day.
But it does not stand alone. The
question OF finding the money stands
with it, and, as some believe, stands
ahead OF it. AS they argue, before
voting heavy increases agreement
should be reached about paying the
bills. Present revenues are con-
fessedly inadequate.
This question is new. The coun-
try has had less than thirty days in
which TO consider the Presidents rec
concentrations. He declares against
bond issue, and in favor of
pay-as-you-go policy. But his
ideas as to laying the necessary ad-
di4ional taxes are challenged, and
will be, and should be, thoroughly

The Pan-Americans.

Friends of pan-Americanism-and
they control all the countries in in
terest-are wise in striking while the
irons hot. The second congress IN
furtherance of that great policy tol-
lows hard upon the heels OF the first.
Washington, which welcomed the
first, welcomes the second with equal
cordiality, and hopes for sessions of
abundant success.
1t is an i'll wind that blows nobody
good. There is good to us-posltlve
good-undiluted good-blown by the
terrible tornado now sweeping Eu-
rope, in this quickening of the appre-
citation of the full meaning OF pam
.Americanism. and this recognition OF
the necessity OF early action toward
giving that meaning life and force.
The war has done this; and even
should the gigantic struggle end to-
morrow-suddenly, as it began-the
nations OF the western hemisphere
are so much aroused to the neces
sity and the opportunity for con-
certed effort, they would not cease or
modify their labors for that supreme
object. The ball. at last, seems to
have been definitely and practically
set rolling.
Many American statesmen have
given thought and spoken words OF
encouragement to this subject, but
che subject is never mentioned in this
country without special reference OF
compliment. to Henry Clay, Stephen
A. Douglas and James G. Blaine, all
brilliant men of vision and enthu-
siasm, and pan-Americans to the core.
They saw and advocated what is now
taking shape. If alive today all
would be most active and helpful IN
the cause which, with all their pow
ers, they could do little more than
suggest in their own days. Time and
times changes were essential to sue
cess. Time has passed, and its
changes-particularly OF late-have
wrought for the cause.
This hemisphere is called the new
world. And, compared with the
other, new it is in the larger sense OF
things. Neither politically, CONNER
cially nor agriculturally have we
more than scratched it. Ours is con-
cededly the leading western nation,
in size. resources, length of life, and
stability, and yet we have only re-
Gently found ourselves. The United
States as a real nation, with powers
as such recognized throughout its
borders, is but fifty years old. 1t dates
from the civil war. Wonders have
been performed within that brief
period, but are only beginning. How
much, therefore, may be expected OF
the new world when all of its inhabi-
tants, acting in concert under their
respective governmental agencies, get
into their stride with a clear and
fixed program, and push for goal.

A Remarkable Assemblage.

Washington is holding. open house
this week for conventions. There are
so many, with so many branches,
that it is next to impossible to bear
all of them in mind. Their subjects
of consideration range from science
to labor legislation, from history to
the problems of today These ques-
tions are being discussed by men and
women of eminent attainments, who
have specialized in their lines of in
terest and are devoted to the causes
they have. espoused. They are seek
ing to make the world better and
happier and more capable, to develop
its possibilities for advancement and
to solve the problems of society.
1t is to be questioned whether at
any one time before was such a COM
bination of factors in active opera
ton in any city. Washington
feels the pulse of endeavor this
week. 1t has been the scene of
notable gatherings in the past. but
chiefly each has had its own particular
object and its attendants have been
devoted to single purposes. But now
this wide range of subjects brings
about what may be regarded as uhi-
versal stimulus for the good of man
kind. The appropriateness of the Ma
tional Capital for such an assemblage
is evident In no other city could
these half score or more of national
and international bodies meet in such

within public reservations. But Con-
gress demurs to the cost of these
projects and comes to them slowly,
with the result of additional expense
and in some cases of irremediable
loss. The Patterson house fire should
be set forth before Congress as an
example of what delay means in the
matter of the proper development of
the capital.
