Constanza was one of the principal

of the fact that it is the eastern ter

the Black sea and the Danube, which
it crosses at Tchernavoda. Thence
the railroad runs westward into Old
Roumania.
Constanza has been notably useful
in offering seaport and railway en-
trance for Russian troops and ammu-

Its capture cuts off the most con-

ployes that temperance paid--that
is, that Il was worth while from .
financial point Of view-they could
materially increase the average e.
ficiency in their plant. They &C.
cordingly announced that every man
who signed a pledge to abstain from
the use Of intoxicating liquors
would receive from the date Of sig
nature an increase Of 10 per cent in
wages.
The system, so its originators de-
clare, has been successful beyond all
expectations. "It has benefited us
and 1t has benefited the men," says
one of the firm. "fcr it has provided
a better home life for the men and
an increased efficiency for u.s."
The men are strictly on honor so
far as keeping the pledge goes. No
watch is kept, and il a man breaks
his pledge he is expected to, and
does, come to one of the heads of
the firm and confess his fault and is
helped to re-establish his abstinence.
It is a plan worth while copying.
1t has the merit Of being two-edged
in its benefits, in that what helps one

NO TIME TO QUARREL OVER
DETAILS

This is no time for the Commits
aioners or members of the police and
fire departments to fiddle with de-
tails of the policemen's and firemen's
pension bill, which has passed the
Senate as a rider on the District
appropriation act and has good
chance in the House. The essential
principles of the bill as it stands are
good and the glaring defects in the
existing law are remedied. 1t may
not meet all the ideals of the Com
rnissioners. 1t may have a minor de-
feet here and there that some police
men or firemen would like to see cor
rected. 1t may not be all, in its
beneficent features, that the men
would like to have. Above and be-
yond these considerations, however,
IL the fact that any effort to have it
changed at this time is likely to re-
suit in no legislation at all. Now is
the time for everybody to pull to-
gether. Any serious error Of omis-
sion or commission can be corrected
In the future.

WHEN WILL THE WAR ENDP

No question has been asked more
frequently during the last year and
o half than the one, "When will the
war end 2" No more definite answer
has been given than is contained in
q most illuminating cable message
sent to the Chicago News by Paul
Scott Mowrer, one Of its correspon-
dents who has been an eyewitness
Of the Somme campaign.
In closing a vivid description Of
the fighting and its results he says:
"Next year on the Meuse; the year
after that on the Rhine, that is the
strategy of the French soldier; those
are the words that l heard often
repeated"
The men who are doing the fight
ing do not see an early conclusion
to the war. And who should know
better than they?

THE PUBLIC LOSES AGAIN

The disagreement which has arisen
between the Capital Traction Com
pany and the Washington and Old
Dominion Railway Company is one
of those intercorporation difficulties
which work their greatest hardship
on the innocent public.
The inhabitants of Virginia sub
urbs had nothing to do with the
arrangements concluded between the
Capital Traction and the Great
Falls road when in 1905 they agreed
upon a system which was virtually
an exchange of transfers without
compensation one to the other.
They had nothing to do with the
later agreement made by the Old
Dominion Company, which in 1912
became a successor TO the Great
Falls corporation as a party to the
contract.
And they had nothing to do with
recent consideration of the transfer
question when, because of disagree
ment between the corporations, an
additional fare was demanded and is
now being paid by patrons who for
ten years had Travelled on free trans
fers.
The man who for purposes of
economy had built him a little home
in Virginia finds himself with his
travelling expenses doubled without
having anything to say about it.
This case would seem to be just the
sort of a matter that should COM
mand the immediate attention of the
Interstate Commerce Commission
and with both parties SO near at
hand and the facts in the case SO
easily available there ought to be an
early and equitable settlement of the
matter and a fair deal assured to
the people who must Of necessity
use these two lines.

Times Mail Bag
Suggests Excusing Young Men Who
Are Learning Their Trade From
National Guard Service,

To the Editor OF THE TINES:
Would It not be fair for the War De-
partment to add to the order Of exemp-
ton from military service the young
men who were on their progressive way
to fintsh learning their trade as well as
exempting the college students or pros-
pective students?
There are many young men in the
militia who are anxious to get on and
go back to finish their trade. and at the
same time help to support their family
1 think many OF them, IL kept too long
in the service. will never be able TO
finish learning their trade.
1t seems to me that the order OF ex-
emption Just issued is nothing that con-
forms with the law Of equality.

wHATTh WEST THINKS OF
HUGHES

The attitude Of the. West toward
Mr.. Hughes is pretty we'll exampled
in the comments made in Chicago
following the visit Of the Republican
candidate to that city. Mr.. c. B
Evans is the Chicago representative
of the Philadelphia Public Ledger
and his daily letter to that news.
paper has been characterized by q
consistent conservatism of expires.
sion in treating Of the chief news
events of the West. In his article
of yesterday. he said:
One hears today more opinion and
speculation as to what this country
will have to meet after the European
war than at any former time. and
many commentators have an af-
frighted appearance. This Is not the
product Of an alarmist propaganda.
Mr. Hughes has not tried to scare
anybody. but has merely portrayed
the errors Of the present Admins
tration and set forth certain prin-
ciples on which the affairs Of tho
country should be managed In the
future.
There is a political logic in this
portrayal. the elimination Of which
in the mind OF the voter Is expressed
by the frequent remark:
HE Is the kind of man we want
to steer us through"
This has been said by many
business man today. The qualities
seen In Mr.. Hughes are poise. a
strong. sane mind. sincerity. and a
willingness to sacrifice life. physical
or political. to the good OF the coun-
try. Nor is there any question as to
the quality of nerve to meet the
emergencies of the four years be-
ginning March 4. 1917.
This is the sort of an impression
Mr.. Hughes, the candidate, is max.
ing. This is the sort of an impres
sion that he was expected to make
and the turning of these impression.
into convictions and those convic.
tions into votes spells the defeat o,
Mr.. Wilson.

CONGRESSMAN GREEN'S SHIRT
TALE

Congressman Green arises in the
House to make a few inquiries Of
the War Department regarding the
equipment of the Iowa boys who
have gone to the border. Green says
that the underwear given out must
have been made for Goliath, for while
Iowans are a long way from being
little folks the shirts were of such a
size that one garment was big
enough for two men.
We don't know as the Congress-
man ever wore a shirt that was too
small for him, but if he did, he would
recognize the wisdom of getting
them too large and then letting them
shrink to fit. More than that, the
economy of getting these big shirts
must be perfectly evident to Mr..
Green if he will only give it a mo-
ment's consideration.
. 1t is summer time in Texas; the
thermometer is breaking the record
for the standing high jump. Along
comes the Guartermaster and deals
out some large, thin undershirts. By
degrees the weather is going to mod
crate until in six months or so it is
going to be cold in Texas. Day by
day, or week by week, as the case
may be, the soldier washes that
shirt and as he does so it gradually
shrinks. And as it shrinks what it
loses in acreage, in expanse, in
voluminousness it gains in thickness,
and as it gains in thickness it (the
shirt, of course), gets warmer, until
when the aforesaid cold weather ar
rives the soldier has a winter shirt.
If the Congressman only realized
It this is the last word in prepared
ness, the latest wrinkle in economy,
the multum in parvo of administra-
tion.
