Ford Going Back.

When Henry Ford's peace party de-
veloped internal belligerency and when
he was compelled to leave it in Nor
way and return to this country consid-
cradle sympathy was felt for him even
among those who were most critical of
his enterprise in general. 1t was felt
that he had been deluded into move
ment that was not only very expensive,
but hopeless of accomplishing results
This sympathy for him, however, ap.
pears to have been wasted. He is 60
ing back with another expedition,
larger and more expensive one.
The cause of peace will not be ad-
vanced by enthusiasts Of the Ford type
or any number of zealots going into Eu-
rope at this time and calling upon the
opponents of warfare to demand the
cessation of hostilities. This conflict in
Europe is most serious business and
however unnecessary, however immoral
in its inception, it is going to be prose
cuted to finish and no outside en-
deavors will at this juncture avail to
about a so-called neutral" protest
against war is that in truth very few
are neutrals at heart. The American gov
crnment is holding an even course as

Mr.. watterson on the Situation.

Henry Watterson, who is spending
the winter in Florida, was interviewed
the other day about the political situa-
ton, and with other things said:
The denomination of Woodrow Will
son is as nearly certainty as any
future thing can be. The defeat of his
preparedness program will not count for
anything. OF course, it will be defeated
All the same he will be nominated and
il his luck has not exhausted itself
elected. Nor need he trouble himself
about the single term plank. The st.
Louis convention will take care of that"
Summing up as 70 the campaign he
said:
There is not even an essential issue
clearly dividing party lines. The tariff ?
Absurd. Economy. Tell it to the ma
rincs. The flag' Does any one i'm
agine that at the psychic (the new name
for oppOrtunej moment Wilson will not
wrap it around him, march down to the
footlights and fire the traditional boss
pistolsi'
This is the first time Mr.. Watterson
has ever declined battle on the tariff.
The republicans are preparing for a
vigorous reassertion of the value of pro-
lection as an American policy, and will
couple it with a promise to replace the
Underwood law with a straightout pro-
lection measure; but Mr.. Watterson's
reply is, absurd" Will that be ade-
quate9
Wisely enough, he SHES at the issue
of economy. Undoubtedly, the joke is
on Mr.. Watterson and his friends there.
The figures of the Si1ty-third Congress
cannot be explained away. They are
not embarrassing when considered in
connection with the needs of the coun-

between the contestants, but the Ameri-
can people have their prejudices and
partisan feelings, and IL is impossible
for any group of people to 60 forth from
here and speak for them in demanding
peace.
An American demand for peace ex.
pressed by such members Of the Ford
party that made SO lamentable q spec
tacle recently is the height Of folly. It
exposes this country to an undeserved
ridicule. Mr.. Ford cannot be restrained
from continuing his extravaganza, but
his enterprise should be so marked with
general disapprobation that the people
of all the warning countries and the Eu-
ropean neutrals as well will under
stand that it is not typical Of the feel
ing on this side Of the water save so
far as it may indicate a hope that the
end Of the war, reached by whatever
means, may soon come for the sake Of
humanity.

National Interest in Washington.

The assistant secretary of the Treas
ury in a statement regarding the pro-
posed power plant now the subject of
consideration by the Senate committee
speaks of IAN active propaganda" that
has been at work throughout the coun-
try which has evoked a flood of protest
ing kilograms to legislators and admins
trative officials against the completion
of the contemplated plans for this i'm
provement 1t is most doubtful whether
there has been any actual propaganda,
but in any case the promptness and
earnestness of the protest against the
Disagreement of the city, however in
spired, are to be accepted as most graft
flying token of nation wide interest in
the proper development of the National
Capital.
Many signs are at hand to indicate
that the people of this country take
pride in Washington and that they re-
gard it jealousy as the federal city, and
national lines Recently the executive
committee of the National Real Estate
Association met here, and its members,
on leaving, expressed their intention of
working unremittingly for the perfec-
ton of plans for Washington. They de-
clared that they hoped that it would be
regarded affectionately as the nations
parlor," the best room in the house.
The protests against the projected
power plant may possibly have been
based in some degree upon a misunder-
standing of the exact plans and posi-
ton, but there was no mistake regard
ing the essential error in the matter of
ignoring the fine arts commission in the
adoption of those plans and the selec-
ton of a site. The truth is recognized
generally throughout the country that
there will be no consistent proper devel-
opment of the capital if there is no es-
tablished standard in the matte of build
ing planning and emplacemnnt, and if
successive administrations follow their
own ideas in the erection of public build
ings, with the Congress constantly under
temptation to economic in details. In
stead of being the subject of a demurrer.
the outbreak of protest against the
power house plan is to be hailed with
qualification as an index that at last
the country is alive TO the importance
of a consistent evolution of capital
making plans.

Yesterday in the House.

First blood, so to say, for prepared
ness. Increasing the number of cadets
for Annapolis and the facilities for more
rapid work on battleships ordered may
not express a great deal in that line, but,
as a sign, it serves, and is inspiring.
The House has made a start, and other,
bigger things should follow. And that
the Senate will approve seems reason
able calculation.
Highly suggestive for good also is the
fact that this start was made on a non
partisan basis. Speaker Clark and Mr..
Mann stood together in support of the
two measures, and shared alike in the
credit of the victory. Each uttered SEN
timents worthy of his reputation and
position, and both received assurances
of Endorsement squirting on to greater
endeavors.
This from Mr. Mann's speech is so
strikingly to the point it might we'll
serve as a rallying cry in itself:
This is not the time for elimination
and recrimination. 1t is not the time to
find fault with that which has been. 1t
is the time for all to join hands for that
which may come.
True. to the very letter. 1t is not so
much to the issue that we have been
slow TO realize our necessities as that
they are now so glazing no man is JUS
;c 70 ban
They are here. They are so plain to
those upon whom we must rely for ad
vice on the subject, the advice we are
getting is of the most urgent character.
"Do it now" comes from every source
informed by education and experience.
No denial can be entered to the fact
that as a nation we are not prepared
for war Our army in size and equip
ment is not above the grade of a police
squad. The men are brave, the officers
brave and competent, but to call so few
an army is to abuse the word. When
we think of what an army is and what
it is expected to do, and then think of
what passes by that name in this great
empire of hundred million free peo-
pie, a sort of wonder sets up.
Nor should we rest at fourth place
among the powers on the water. Why
not first, as the President proposes2 As
we are ambitious to become first among
the trading nations why should we not
prepare ourselves to protect our trade
after we have established it'
The millennialistic contention is that
we are in no danger from aggression;
that the present war will be the last of
great consequence; that at its close
every one of the belligerent nations
will be exhausted and disguised and
willing TO cooperate in hunt for the
devil, with the purpose of claiming him
up for thousand years; that by 29l6
all will be so well with the world harm,
can never come again. "a dream! A
sweet, wild dream"

try, but considered in connection with
the denunciation by the Baltimore plat
form of the republican figures that pre-
coded them they are "queer" to a do
gree. Mr.. Wattcrson's large and long
experience teaches him that the less said
by his party on that subject the better.
It is luck upon which Mr.. Watterson
relies for success at the polls. He hopes
that Mr.. Wilson's luck "has not ex-
hausted itself" But if Mr.. Wilson fails
to put through his policy Of prepared
ness. will not that be sign that his
luck has changed? 1t would appear so.
He is stalking much on that. Whatever
he asked of the Sixty-third Congress
was granted. When he looked on Capt.
toll Hill he was lord Of all he surveyed.
Now, there are democrats disputing his
sway. If they defeat him on prepared
ness he will no longer be lord.
Mr. Watterson's closing suggestion
that when the pinch comes Mr.. Wilson
Will wave the flag and carry everything
before him on burst of patriotic ap-
peal touches the Presidents leading
difficulty today The millennialists are
charging that while asking support for
on patriotic lines, he is
really playing for personal and political
advantage, and hopes to make prepared
ness the paramount issue of his cam
paign for second term. In word,
they are asking the country to believe
that he has not been converted at all
except to the necessity of finding new
issue to oyershadow the issues of 1912
and the record the democracy has made
on them.

Kitchener,

Reports from London indicate that
Lord Kitchener is soon to be relieved
of his post as secretary for war and as
signed to field command of importance,
the chief military responsibility for the
general direction of the war being trans
ferred to Sir William Robertson, pres
emit chief of staff. 1t may be that the
criticism of Kitchener, which has been
continuous for nearly year, ever since
the failure of the expected "May drive"
to materialize, has at last climaxed in
decision to try another combination.
Kitchener's military reputation was
made as a field commander and not as
an administrator, and the chief criti-
cism of him has been that he was not
able to direct matters in the large at
a distance from active operations.
There are now three fields of British
military work, the western line in
France, Saloniki and Egypt and Meso-
potamia. Of these three it is thought
that Kitchener is most likely, if as
signed to a field post, to be sent to the
east, where certain indications point to
spring movement by the Germans and
Turks against the Suez canal. Kitch-
ener's familiarity with that part of the
works fits him especially for a COM
mand of this character. 1t has been
suggested several times in the dispatches
recently that Palestine and the Arabian
coast may be, after all, the scene of the
eliminating battles of the war. If this
is true Kitchener's services will be much
more important there than at London,
where the work is mainly that of re-
cruiting and munitions provision.
