Police Scandal Far From flushed.

No one who has given the subject considera-
! ton imagines for moment that the United States
Attorney for the District of Columbia started the
machinery of his office in motion to investigate
| the Washington police force, upon evidence that
promised results important than the in
dctment for accepting petty graft for the protec-
ton of establishments in which petty gambling
was permitted OF one private of the force and ono
| former detective who is already under prison SEN
tcnce for another ofcnsc. Obviously the woman
whose story started the investigation gave the
District attorney much more information than
that which lead to the two indictments and it
is reasonable to assume that it related to graft pro-
cecding from violations OF the law, other than
gambling. There a disposition at first to
magnify the situation into one of corruption cx-
tending throughout the police department, and
the later reaction carried the theorists far in
the other direction that the public was asked to
believe that the whole proceeding was tempest
in a teapot.
The papablc facts in the case the surest
guide to what is to be expected The District
attorney has not been wasting the time OF his
force day after day, investigating clcws and taking
the testimony of scores OF witnesses in wild
goose chase. Evidence has undoubtedly been sub
mitted to him. justyng the presumption that
crime has been committed on such scale as to
make IL MS duty 10 exert every SlIOll
guilty to justice. There will be more in
|dictments or, if indictments not warranted by
the evidence available, there will be of
information to be submitted to the superintendent
of police that will demand trial-board proceed
ings.
The necessity of secrecy in the proceedings of
the District attorneys office is responsible for
much speculation more less vague, and it is
POSSIBLE that the testimony OF the woman in
volved had nothing to do with the two indictments
already returned; at any rate, it is hasty and
unreliable conclusion that the two represent
all that investigation OF the story is to develop.
Her principal charges, doubt related to alleged
protection accorded commcrcializcd vice in other
form than gambling. Until the District attor-
ncy's investigation is completed it will not be
known whether it has been possible to obtain sufh-
cicnt evidence to justify the prosecution of othet
members of the police force. Conditions have
been disclosed, however, which will plenty
of work for the trial board if justice is to prevail
and public confidence in the police force of the
Capital is to be restored. There is much to be
done that is beyond the duty of the District at
torncy He may prosecute but he cannot remove
all the of the scandal, which will not be
hushed until this is accomplished by some one.

Disclosures that Fail to Surprise.

Exposure in detail of the German propaganda
iii this country. chiefly as it operates through the
newspapers and magazines, has been undertaken
by the New York World; but an examination of
the disclosures so far made and pcrusal of the
promises of what is to come reveals no surprises,
or cause for excitement Intelligent people have
known for months, of course that German inf1u-
ences and German money have been at work
procuring the publication of so-callcd news infor-
nation and arguments intended to create senti-
mcnt in this country favorable to Germany's side
OF the European quarrel and to justify her
atrocities, in the fororn hope that sufficient clam
could be manufactured to induce the govern
mcnt to abandon neutrality to the extent of pro-
Ge-nanys enemies. 1t is known, of course, that
publication of the Fatherland is made possible
by German funds, that German funds pay the
bills for printing the tons of pro-German litera-
ture with which newspaper Offices all over the
country deluged daily, and that German
money pays the expenses of certain correspon-
dents travelling abroad and arguing Germany s
in the columns of American publications
The World has undertaken to tell the details of
the process by which the disbursements are made,
a matter which probably will prove of no great
and editors may be interested in the narration
of how they have been worked" but the ma
jority of those who have espoused the German
cause know vastly more about the German propa-
ganda than they will CLEAN from the columns of
the World, whose exposure they will regard as
a harmless diversion.

The Gold Import.

No doubt the import OF gold and securities was
strictly necessary, under present conditions. Yet
it is to be regretted in the that it postpones
the proposal to institute international clearing
house, in which debts and credits should be bal
anced. and only the difference moved from one
country to another. How useless and inefficient
was the transfer of $Iooooo,ooo gold to Ottawa,
only now to start like movement back again.
But our English creditors would not trust us, or
accept anything but gold, and now must pay gold
themselves, an embarrassment greater for them
than for How strangely reads the re-
port of Mr.. Cortelyou when Secretary of the
Treasury: an the present advanced state of pub
lie faith and financial responsibility there is ap-
parently no serious objection" to agreement
for the establishment of an international gold GER
tihcate which might be transferred from country
to country while the gold lay STILL being payable
in all countries. The Sccretary's argument in
favor of the proposal is the reason why it is i'm
possible. Nothing could be solemn and
binding than the treaty which broken as mat
ter of necessity, and whose breaking has put half
the world in arms. The wrecking of faith between
man and man, between nation and nation, is such
an overwhelming calamity that the removal of a
mere financial inconvenience, the death of piece
of financial idealism is swallowed up in the
greater misfortune. 1t is only sample of what
is occurring in the way of the substitution of dis
trust for confidence throughout the world-New
York Times.

II ARLY in December came General
n, Greene to take the place of Gates.
~ and new difficulties faced the Eng
fish commander.
Greene kept no single force afeld, to
be met and checkmated. but sent one
part of his little army towards the coast
to cut Corvallis communications. and
another southwark against the inland
posts and settlements where scattered
garrisons lay between the commandments
chief and his base at Charleston in the
south.
With the first deta chmcnt went Francis
Marion, a man as formida BILE in strategy
and sudden action as Ferguson. and the
men who had attached themselves to him
as to modern Robin Hood. With the
second went Daniel Morgan. a man made
after the fashion of the redoubtab BILE
fron:iersmen who had brought Fergu-
son his day of doom at Kings Mountain.
Tarleton was sent after Morgan with
eleven hundred men. found him at the
Cowpens (January II. l7SD, just within
the border upon which Kings Mountain
lay, and came back fugitive. with only
two hundred and seventy men. Greene
drew his forces together again. and at

him. outnumbered though he was
March I5th). But to beat Greene. 1t

was no safer. the communications OF the
army were as seriously threatened, the

1t seemed a hazardous thing to take
an army thence southwark again, with
supplies, through the forests where
Greene moved: news came that General
Arnold was in Virginia with a consider
able body OF Clinton's troops from New
York, to anticipate what the southern
commander had planned to do for the
conquest of the Old Dominion when the
CaroIinas should have been "pacificd"
from end to end: and CORVALLIS deter
mined to move northward instead of
southwark, and join Arnold in Virginia.
Greene moved little way in his track.
and then turned southwark again

Diplomacy in Soft Phrases.

Can the sombreroed swashbuckler chieftains of
PROSTATE Mexico resist the fervid appeals to their
patriotism indted in of exquisite politeness
by the representatives of the United States and
six South American republics? Carranza has said
that he would not listen, but he did not know

sponsive Quxotic SOUL Villa, Zapata and the rest
of them will succumb, unresisting, to those pas
sages of the COMMUNICATIONS the seven,
speaking severally, independently, but unanimous
ly-sounding like the eloquence of Cyrano de
Bergerac the imprisoned plea of volunteer
at the celebrated Calmette trial in Paris Even
Carranza, himself may yield, and that, indeed,
would be triumph of honeyed diplomacy to
urnine State Department archives.
We don't recall when the seal of the United
States placed upon a document of such
pronounced Latin inspiration and. phraseology;
but experiment it is worth trying, since
everything else we have tried has been fail
ure. If it does the work the pan-American confer
ence incorrigible Mexico will be thing to be
recorded olive-bordered page in history,
with the regretful pang-that Mr.. Bryan's
name is missing. And if it fails, President Will
son will still be confronted with Intervention in
force last resort, though with the newly
CURED knowledge that South America frowns on
such course.
AS the stern note in the whole communi-
cation-the only one, evidently not Latin
us, may expect reply from
the Mexican chieftains within ten days. We could
wait in hopeful patience, but for Carranza.

At last the British trade embargo has reached
the movies. An attempt is being made to pro-
hibit the in the English moving picture houses
OF films made in other countries. This may be the
apothcoss OF PATRIOTISM but it is not likely to be
popular in England. All the British film makers
combined it seems, do not produce enough pic
lures to supply more than per cent of the demand
in England alone. American-made films are espe-
cially liked in England, and TIE embargo against
them will be regarded by the British public as
real hardship.
