CELEBRATING THE FOURTH"

Just as an insurance policy, heads
OF families ought to respond
promptly to the appeal for funds on
behalf OF the Citizens independence
Day committee, which is in charge
OF arrangements for the commemo-
ration of the Fourth of July. It is
to be an ideal safe-and-sane affair.
OF the sort that has become so pop
ular in many cities and that was
emlnently successful here last wear:
the kind that has no aftermath of
Doctors bills and hospital attention
TO the juvenile participants.
Moreover, it will be the character
OF commemoration that in such a
year as this ought especially to in
splre the right sentiments among
American citizens. This nation
alone among the great powers is at
peace and enjoying full measure of
prosperity; but it confronts the
grave possibility that another
twelvemonth may bring a draft
upon its reserves of patriotism and
stamina such as perhaps has never
been drawn before. 1t is a time for
most serious contemplation as we'll
as the sincerest thankfulness.
TO make the days commemora-
ton what the general committee
plans, popular fund of $4,000 is to
be raised. The early responses have
been most gratifying; despite that
highly organized work has not been
fairly started nearly $500 of contri-
buttons were reported to the meet
ing of the committee today. It is
important that the fund be in hand
early, that the garment may be cut
according to the cloth. Especial
appeal is addressed to the citizens
associations to help, because their
participation in bearing the expense
will also be the assurance of a COM
munlty interest without which no
mere program can make a celebra-
ton a real success. Contributions
may be sent to John Poole, chair.
man of the finance committee. at
the Federal National Bank. Send
them early!

HENRY BEACH NEEDHAM

Inc tragic death of Henry Beach
Needham, due to the collapse of a
FRENCH aeroplane in which he was a
passenger in the war zone, brings
Sharply to attention the risks which
Venturesome spirits are constantly
taxing in the field of war, entirely
aside from the necessary operations.
by reputation gained through his
writings Mr.. Needham was known
10 about everybody in America that
reads; as newspaper and magazine
writer on affairs, he possessed a
very wide range of personal ac-
quaintances among the leading men
OF the nation, and indeed in Europe.
Naturally an adventurous spirit. he
was getting experience and "color"
Tor his writings when he met his
death.
Mr.. Needham was particularly
well known in Washington because
his work for many years largely
centered in Washington and national
affairs as viewed here. lie was the
son OF DR.. Charles W. Needham,
former president of George Wash
ington University and now counsel
Tor the Interstate Commerce Com
mission. There were few writer's
Tor the periodical press whose work
attested either a wider range Ct ca
pacities or higher literary merit. lie
wrote national. affairs and baseball
fiction with equal facility and sue
cess, and his death is a genuine loss
that will be realized fa. outside the
wide circle of family and personal
friends.

THE LUSITANIA INQUIRY

The board of trade inquiry into
the sinking of the Lusitania has
brought, as was to be expected, a
great diversity of testimony. That
more than one torpedo was used to
sink the vessel seems pretty well
established, while there is a strong
probability that more than one SUI
marine fired upon her.
1t would be unfair to the sh;n,s
officers and crew to misconstrue
their efforts to convince passengers
that the vessel was not going to
sink. 1t may very we'll be believed
that, cool-headed men tried to pre-
vent panic and rush for the boats
that would have been certain to
swamp them. The man in a theater
fire who pulls a gun and, standing
at the main exit, threatens to shoot
those who start a stampede, is not
trying to insure that the audience
will be burned to death; he is try
ing to save it from its own terror.
Precisely parallel were the efforts
of officers on the Lusitania to keep
the people calm and treasured. 1t is
not remarkable that, as some have
testified, there was a belief among
many that the vessel would not
sink, and that it was safer to take
chances aboard than in the boats.
The people who believed or pretend

reminiscent of the things the Japanese

Korea :"
They did, however. create a protecto-

not their real purpose. That purpose
has since been accomplished and
Korea has ceased TO exist. It Is now

WATERLOO

A century ago today Waterloo
was fought; the expiring gasp O,
that marvellous democratic effort Of
the French nation, which under tho
guidance of Napoleon's genius wa:
turned into project for forcine
French ideals on a world. The peo,
pie of France fought first with the
inspiration of the revolution, late,
with the incentive of national glory
which Napoleon's magnificent mill.
tarism provided them.
Today Europe is involved in q
struggle SO much mightier than the
Napoleonic wars that it was re-
Gently stated that the British colo
MES have today more troops in the
field than the United Kingdom ever
had at one time in the whole era
OF Napoleon. If the statement is
erroneous at all, the error is not a
very bad one.
In a curiously impressive way,
the present war represents reaction
from the conditions that made
Waterloo the end of an era. France
started, at least, genuinely confident
that with fire and sword she was
bringing liberty to the world; and
to the end that was the conviction
of her masses. No matter what Ma
poleon thought; there is reason to
believe he. changed his mind when
the imperial idea burned it's way in
to his brain.
Today, Europe is resisting one
mans effort to impose "Kultur" on
the world. "Kultur" is not synon-
ymous with culture. German kul-
tur means the Germanic system,
scheme, habit of thought, way of or
ganizing society. There is no pre-
tense that it is democratic, popu-
lar, system; it is based on the no
ton of divine authority working
through human instruments, for the
establishment and perpetuation of a
system which avowedly makes the
individual the mere property Of the
state. That is the inspiration back
of the Germanic project in empire.
1t is as different from the inspira-
tion which made the French revolu-
ton, and evolved Napoleon out of it,
as night is from day.
If, an hundred years ago, that in
spiration, led by Napoleon, could not
win for France, is it possible to be-
lieve that the inspiration of Prus-
sian reaction, led by a divine right
ruler, can win today?
