THE SOURCES OF WAR NEWS

From Berlin we learn that the
Kaiser has returned to active direc-
ton Of affairs at the war front, CON-
pletely recovered from his recent ill
ness. 1t is not stated at what front
he is now present, nor what was
the nature of his late trouble.
Paris comes forward to supply de-
tails; but there are too many of
them, and they are too conflicting, to
be very satisfactory. A few days ago
the German ruler was victim of a
hopeless disease; he was fated to be
the early victim of the maady that
cost his fathers life. Paris and Lon
ion always know more about Ger
man affairs than Germany tells; but
they know rather too much, and thus
lose their grip on our confidence.
On the other hand Berlin gets a
most marvellous array of information
about internal conditions, parlia-
mensary troubles, economic worries,
political disagreements in the allied
countries and among their govern
ments. 1t is not safe to assume that
these various accounts are altogether
untrue. Naturally, the Germans are
putting their best foot forward, and
their enemy's worst; and, vice versa,
the allies want Germany to be viewed
in the most unfortunate light.
One thing may be set down as
perfectly certain. Eighteen months
ago the world would have been we'll
nigh unanimous, if it could have
known what was going to happen
down to this time, in agreeing that
that experience would represent
about all the warning nations could
humanity bear. The notion of pos

Marguerite Clark will be seen upon the

MUNICIPAL LoDoINo HOUSE

With the coming of cold weather
ohe need for a municipal lodging
house with greater facilities than
the present cramped quarters afford
Is more apparent than ever. 1t hap
penA that the lodging house has not
been overtaxed this year as in recent
seasons; but, if applicants have not
been compelled to sleep on the floor,
they have been subjected to the other
limitations of the place. There is
not sufficient provision for baths
and fumigation. There is no way to
segregate races, or to accommodate
the women who occasionally apply.
The wood yard is too small to keep
the inmates employed.
Headed by Miss Aline Solomons,
group Of civic workers and public
spirited citizens are to ask Congress
again TO appropriate money enough
TO build house which will compare
with the facilities offered in other
cities. While the Commissioners
asked but $4,000, they realized that
this would be inadequate, and ap-
prove the movement to make ample
provision for present and future.
Few persons know that the present
site Of the lodging house was not
purchased by the District, but was
donated by the old Lodging House
Association. In view of that fact it
is a pity that the value of the pres
ent site may not be added to the
amount asked for when the new site
is bought. The present lot on
Twelfth street is needed for. an .ex-
tension of the First precinct police
station. Since the District is in pos
session of the site, and may do with
II what it pleases, Congress should
consider this fact in providing a new
SITE and a new lodging house.

IHE NEW, INDUSTRIAL CANADA

Canada is being wonderfully
changed because of the war. It is
becoming one of the considerable
sources of war supplies for the al
hes; not merely Of agricultural and
forest products, that is, but of man
ufactures as we'll. They have their
boon1s in war brides just as we in
this country have them; and the
sudden diversification of manufac-
turing is having a telling effect on
the community.
There is new and acuter real'-
zation of the industrial possibilities
Of Canada; an inquiry Why, if Can
ada can convert itself into a manu-
featuring country under stress
Of wars necessities, it may not do
the same under the encouragement
OF peace conditions.
Canada produces-this as an il
lustEation-about three quarters of
he nickel used in the world. Re
filming that nickel has been regard
cd as impracticable in Canada, and
so the crude metal has been sent
away, chiefly. to this country, for re-
fiDement. Now the Canadians are
waking up to the possibility of keep
ing the industry at home. Why not
pay bonus to have it done there;
or impose an export tax on ores sent
away for refinement?
That is only symptomatic. But it
indicates the new processes stirring
in the Canadian mind. II is a good
guess that the first generation after
the war will see Canada make
strides, in population and industry,
such as have never been dreamed
in the past.

Caring For Disabled Soldiers Would
Be Aid To Building Defenses.

To the Editor Of THE TIMES:
The position taken by Veteran" in
today's Times is the nearest a prac-
teal movement toward preparedness we
have yet seen, The picture OF $1,000
disabled soldiery in soldiers homes
throughout the United States is no
great drawing card for recruits.
In Europe the disabled soldiers are
being taught trade, thereby not only
aiding them to become self supporting
and lessening the burden on the nation.
but they win also be far happier than
were they allowed to remain inactive.
There is no reason why the soldier
who has long a leg or arm should not
be given a practical opportunity to fill
positions in the Civil Service. When we
have made the position of the dis
abled soldier and salior something
more attractive than that of an in
mate" we will have gone a long way
toward preparedness,
We shall then need no gaudy bill
boards 10 obtain the best young men
OF the land for recruits.

BrightwoOd Parent-Teacher's As
sOciatiOn Protests Appointment Of
Board of Education BY Commits

To the Editor or THE TIMES;
BY the president and members y, tho
nTiRht"ood ParentTeachers AssocIa-
uoh' am directed t. call Your atten-
tioh 10 the proposed plans for abolishlng
'ne district or Columbia Board of Edu-
cation or for having the power of an
poihtment of its members transferred
from the Supreme Court to tho Conn
mlssioners of the District of Columbia
The mothers believe that either OF
these proposed changes would be detri-
mental to the best interests of the nub-
lie schools. and as the education of
thelr chlidren lies close to the mothers
nearts. they entreat the editors OF the
dallH papers to do their utmost to dis
courage the proposed change.
Only a houy which holds permanent
appointment for Its meJnbers can be in
a position to use its best Judgment in
the appointment a. ,.'ls,r ~ for the
Board of Education. tI.D..Sed by con-
sideration of outstanding obligations or
by consideration of the effects OF their
own advancement.
Besides this a Board of Education
which held Its appointment from the
District Commissioners would not be
free to act according to its best judK-
ment. in the event such action should
be contrary to the policies OF the board
from which ii held appointment.
Neither would the Commissioners,
overburdered as they are with other
business be In position to undertake
lie school without detrimCnt OF that in
stitutiOn.
For these reasons the president and
members of the Brightwood Parant-
Teachers Association enter protest
against the proposed changes in the
government OF our public schools.
