THE GERMAN ATTACHES TO GO

The Won Papen- Boy Ed incident is
virtually closed with the announce
ment that it has pleased the Emporer
of Germany to recall those officers to
Berlin IN accordance with the wishes
of the United States. 1t now appears
that the menace to the present Off
cially peaceful relations between the
two governments over this matter
was due to a misunderstanding, Ber-
lin having been notified briefly and
without explanation of the desire for
the recall of the attaches, while the
full text of the reasons for this action
was in process Of transmission, and
the request for reasons crossing"
this explanation in transit. Now
that Berlin knows why the attaches
are not wanted it accedes promptly
to the request for their withdrawal.
Thus passes the possibility of a breach
Of relations which would have been
quite unwarranted, and, at the pres
ent stage Of the situation, most unde-
sirable. The unwelcome. attaches
will depart as soon as safe conduct is
arranged for them.

THE POSTAL RECEIPTS

The increase in the postal receipts
which has been announced by Post
master General Burleson, is an ex-
cellent index of the growing prosper
ity of the United States. The inn
provement in business is reflected in
the November revenues Of so Of the
largest postoffices in the country.
producing approximately half of all
the postal receipts.
AS against receipts of about SILL
100000 in November, 1914, the re-
turns for November, 1915, were S13,-
$40 ,450. Comparing those two months
the in crease throughout the country
averaged 13.43 per cent. The normal
increase is about per cent, but No
vember of last year showed a decrease
of nearly per cent as a result Of the
business depression which began I'M
me1iately after the outbreak of the
European war. But even had the
| preseat returns been compared with
| those of any normal year, it would
have been found that the increase
| indicates greater prosperity than the
country has ever before enjoyed.
The result should be extremely
gratifying to the people of the coun.
try. The Federal reserve banks and
in fact, all the banks of the country
show enlarged SURPRISES. 1t is a
long time since bank deposits reach
ed such high water mark. The pos
tai receipts. however, probably are
even a better index of prosperity
showing as they do the prosperity o1
those persons who do not have bank

MR.. TOM MARSHALL

Shall we hear anything further
about denying Vice President Mar
shall's denomination?
Whatever there was to the gossip
grew out of a story that Mr.. Marshall
was not sound" on cloture; that he
would not rule as desired last winter.
Hence the suggestion of different
running mate for Mr.. Wilson. The
hope was that Mr.. Marshall would
see the point, aud rule right" this
winter aud thus save his scalp.
If there was anything to the story
alleging hostility on Mr.. Marshall's s
part to gag rule for the Senate, he
stands abundantly vindicated now.
No such procedure is possible. Aft
er halcyon and vociferous examina-
tion the democratic caucus put the
proposition to sleep. Whatever
change may be made at this session,
the Senate will remain deliberative
body. Cloture, in the sense of a parti-
san asset to be used for partisan pur-
poses and that was the essence of
the manenver--is out of the question,
fortunately for the Senate, the coun-
try and the democratic party. No
greater mistake could have been
made.
Those who thus gosslped at Mr..
MarshalPs expense showed neither
knowledge of the man, nor apr ;cla-
ton of the democracy's needs. He
could get along without his party
much better than his party without
him. Denied Endorsement, he could
return to Indiana, reopen his law Of
fee, enjoy again the society of his old
friends and neighbors, and get more
and bigger fees than ever.
But his party next year will require
to be brought as closely as possible
to the people; and Mr.. Marshall fig
ures in popular discussion as 'the
human element of the democratic out
fit" The meaning of the phrase is
that he is the best politician in the
bunch, understands the everyday or
der of things much better than the
others, and scores more readily with
the rank and file of voters. While
the President is bookish and tribe
reserved, Mr.. Marshall is practical,
hearty and in every way companion
able.
If the tia,sat is not Wilson and
Marshall again, the talents of a Phil.
adelphia lawyer will be necessary to
explain why. The reasons, geogra.
phical and other, that called him to
the colors in 1912 still exist; and be
has added to his strength by nearly
three years of satisfactory service in
the office to which he was then elect.

superior for the race?
