The Eriedrichshafen Celebration.

While the innocent school children
of F'riedrichshafen are making merry
with a two days holiday, and the
town is glorious with streaming flags.
and kilograms Of congratulation are
piling up on the desk of the honored
white haired inventor who has made
Friedrichshafen famous. there are
funeral professions in Paris to bury
the fourteen min women ana
one infant killed in what Germany
officially calls the great raid on the
fortresses of Paris" Among the dead
were seven Of one humble family. II
grandfather, his daughter and her
husband. an aunt of the girl ana two
sons and one daughter of the married
couple. all terribly shattered by the
bomb that burst the walls of their
poor dwelling apart.
Such is the kind of military sue
cess that elates Berlin. that closes
the schools of Friedrichshafen. that
brings smiles Of satisfaction 10 the
face of Count ZEPPELIN, if he can still
smile at all.
DO the school authorities Of Fried
%richshafcn tell the children the ma
ture of the military success ut Paris
on the night of January 70: how 1t
was a slaughter of people as innocent
and inoffcnsiNc as themselves? Does
the War Office AT Berlin announce
that nine women and an infant In
arms were killed in the Zeppelin raid
on 1.-THE great f%ortresSeS of Paris
That would never do, for 'frightful-
ness" must be made cuph"mistic If II

French call their dropping of bombs

or course Friedrichshafen the beauti-
full is not celebrating the reprisal but
the famous raid on the fortified city
of Paris. The announcement that the
night attack was Il reprisal Is in
tended to be II Justification, but the
Germans realize the weakness Of their
case when they are particular to say
In the official bulletin that 'the fOrti,
tied city of Paris was attacked with

proud of his profession could say that

The truth * that as an engine OF

Inc TeSuIt VI tTeSlucut WILSON, >
tour Of the middle West in behalf Of
the adoption Of a new military and
naval policy by the United States
will be recorded in Congress. The
President has been cordially received
wherever he went. His addresses
have been listened to with respect
he has been %applauded in those pas
sages which called for applause;
and he has impressed his personality
on thousands Of citizens who have
hitherto accepted him not OF his W
merits. but as n leader satisfactory
to one in whom they had confidence.
All these things are gratifying, but II
1.-THE folks back home fail to bring
their Congressman TO support the
Presidents policy and enforce 1t with
a programme, the trip will have been
n failure.
Mr.. WILSON has placed himself In a
position in which any substantial in
crease in the army and navy by the
Sixty-fourth Congress will he con-
strued as Il victory for him. He has
been emphatic on orr need for i'm
proved defences on the land and on
the sea he has been careful not to
commit himself irrevocably to any
specific plan. Therefore. II a mill
tary genius in Senate or House offers
n suggestion which supersedes all
those now under consideration, and it
is adopted by the legislative depart
mcnt, Mr.. WILSON can fairly claim
the credit. for he has g~eneralized
about the means to attain h end
Us 10 which he has been specific.
But before Congress acts, there arc
others to be heard from. The Presi-
dent boldly invaded the country of
MIR. BRYAN. where. the Nebraska
| statesman has Il following half po'
| litical, half social. Mr.. BRYAN Is
| soon To traverse the same territory.
He will not be silent. He will pre-
sem To a community predisposed In
his favor the arguments against TIT
Presidents course. Only after he ha,
| done SO will the members Of Congress
he able To form opinions rs to what
Is wisest for them to do. These opin'
ions may be grotesQuely inaccurate
| bur they will represent the best judg
ment of men with n deep personal in
terest in correctly interpreting the de-
sires of the citizens Mr.. WILSON has
sought To win.
Meanwhile, it is worthy of consid
Grafton that the majority in Congress
has made no progress toward cOmpO
sition Of its differences on this sub
ject. While Mr.. WILSON was abroat
in the land members of the Demo
cratic party in the House were in
dulging in pacific addresses in Wash
ington. As he urged an adequate
army and navy his associates were
pulling to pieces his taxation propo
sails. essential co%rrelatives Of any prof
ect for the national defence. II TIN
cheers for the President were lout
in the Mississippi valley, their echoes
did not submerge the sounds of dis
cord on the banks of the Potomac. ant
Mr.. WILSON. returning from the mos
important expedition he has under
taken so far-mOst important To hi
personal fortunes and most importan
to the nation-will learn that the oh
ject he hoped to accomplish has no
yet been registered in the intellect'
Of those In whom his immediate de
pendence must rest and whose con
tinued opposition will mean c~ertainl!
partial. aud not improbably complete
failure of his enterprise.
