AUGMENTATION Day,

In connection with the observance of
Independence day tomorrow patriotic
societies in this city will conduct at the
Washington Monument ,"Americaniza-
ton" ceremonies that are of material i'm
portance in the development of citizen
ship. A special appeal has been made
to citizens of alien birth TO be present
at these services. which are designed to
impress the fact that every American
who owes allegiance to the American
flag has a duty toward it and toward the
government which it represents. regard
less of the place of his birth. An
American by adoption has the same
rights-save that of election TO the high
est ofice-and the same privileges as
the citizen of American birth. He has
also the same responsibility. The scrv-
ices to be conducted tomorrow by the
patriotic societies are designed to en-
phasize these facts and to make the
naturalized American feel part of the
institution in celebration of the found
ing of which the day is set apart

Driving Toward Peronne.

Apparently the Anglo French often
sive has lost little of its momentum with
the bringing up of German reserves and
the stiffening of the defense. 1t is now
evident that the objective of the drive
is Peronne lying about fifteen miles to
the east of the original allied line and
an important center of highways and a
railroad junction, which has been nu-
cleus for German communication from
the beginning of the long trench cam
paign. The advance has carried the al
lied forces at latest reports little
more than half way to the city and has
materially changed the aspect of things.
1t was to have been expected that
when the we'll advertised British often
sive began the Germans would suspend
operations comparatively at Verdun.
But, as in other phases of this war, the
expected has not occurred. Instead of
relaxing their efforts at Verdun the Ger
mans have continued them with undi
unfinished fury, perhaps in the hope of
preventing any detachment of French
forces from the Verdun sector to assist
in the drive in Picardy. But reserves
are coming from some quarter to the
menaced western German front. OF
course, it has been recognized that the
Germans have not held all their fighting
units on the trench formation, but have
maintained large numbers in the interior,
doing garrison duty, perhaps, in Belgium
and other parts of the occupied terri
tory and serving as substitutes to take
the places of those who were relieved
from the front.
The allies problem in Picardy is to
break the German line, if possible, and
not merely to bend it back. To press the
line back, even though causing a re-
alignment. has merely the effect of con-
solidating the defense. A military vic
tory can only be won by penetrating to
the communications and thus cutting off
direct cooperation between large bodies
OF the roe. 30 long as the OeTnanS nave
held control of railroads and highways
paralleling the front and radiating from
supply bases in the rear, they have been
able to shift their troops rapidly from
one position to another. It was stated
early in the past year that the Germans
had dozens of prepared lines of defense
between the actual front and the eastern
Belgian boundary, and that they could
fall back from one line to another if ever
attacked in force. But. as has been
proved in Austria under the impetus of
the great Russian drive these secondary
reserve positions are of little avail if
the morale of the force is weakened
In actual results the Anglo French
drive is not 10 be judged for several
days. If Peronne is taken it must be
considered as in large measure sue
cess, even though the German line is
not penetrated, for the occupation of
feronne will force a general withdrawal
from many positions to the north and
south. If, ON the other hand, Peronne
is not taken little will have been ac-
corIplished save possibly numerical
weakening of the German forces, unless
the sacrifices of the allies are heavier.

The House and Revenue.

The revenue bill will be called u7 in
the House Thursday and passed Situr-
day. Nothing properly called debate
can take place in that time. And yet
the measure is of great Importance. and
carries two items which should be ex-
amined from every angle.
When will the politicians quit jug

sition? Less than twelve months ago
the President was poohpoohing it. Only
a few years ago the report of com

President Taft was wastebasketed hy

believes that if the republicans control

called nsn-partisan commission ap

slightest weight IN determining the

Laws In the language of the street.
what are the politicians giving us:
Much is pardonable on the eve of a
presidential election, hut this has every
appearance of bluff and dodge.
Protection for establishing an Ameri
can dyestuffs industry should be voted,
but voted understandingly. The propo-
sition carries far, and includes much.
In fact, there may be traced in it the
whole case of protection. For if pro-
lection can be justified in the estaf-
fishing of an industry, it can be jus
titled in maintaining it while a neees-
sity is demonstrate and American CAPT
tai and American labor are brought into
competition with foreign conditions.
Capital is entitled to dividends. and
labor to the American standards of liv-
ing. We want to be Independent i'll this

the Senate, as usual, will proceed with
something like the proper deliberation.
The rules of that body do not as yet
admit of the gag: and two years ago a
revenue measure which had been whip
ped through the House with too great
speed was halted by the Senate and held
for five months in the correction of
crudities and inequalities. but even then
turned out in unsatisfactory shape.
The tariff will not be sighted when
the campaign opens. Protection as a
shibboleth is as good as ever; and Mr.
Hughes understands the issue. and will
give it the proper place in his appeal
for votes.

Teachers Longevity PAY.

The prompt denial by Representative
Page of a purpose to introduce and press
a bill for the repeal of the teachers
longevity pay law set at rest report
that for time gave great uneasiness
to the local educators. 1t is immaterial,
with respect to the peace of mind of the
teachers that such an effort would be al
most certain to fail. So much anxiety
exists at present with reference to the
treatment of the District by Congress
that it is not remarkable that any sug-
gested action of this character is recog-
nized as a menace.
The teachers longevity pay should not
be in the slightest danger, either basic
ally or in the details of payment 1t is
The teachers have prepared themselves
through years of study to take on the
work of instructing the youth Of the
District, with the assurance of annual in
crements of compensation. To cut off
this longevity pay, save upon long no.
tice, would be an act of the most de-
liberate bad faith, and it is not to be
believed that Congress would consider a
move of this kind.
Early appropriation, by deficiency act,
for the payment of the withheld longev-
ity allotments for June is to be expected.
A deficiency in an account Of this kind is
an anomaly, and yet it has regularly oc-
Cured of late through curtailment OF
the estimates, which are always based
upon actuarial reckoning to the dollar.
Every teacher should get the longevity
pay for June before the current month
has elapsed.

The pig club work, which is design

pigs, has been extended rapidly through

States, department Of agriculture and
the agricultural colleges. BY July l.,
1915, the agricultural colleges of the
following states had Joined with the

was taken up in Texas, Arkansas,

over 10000 club members in the states
named, of whom 5,827 were in Louisi-

work has been in progress two years

In getting the members to keep COM
