Just how the games between the Army
and Notre Dame and between the Navy
and Washington and Lee will turn out
is questionable, though it would appear
that the service institutions should win
after more or less strenuous struggles.
Washington and Lee has been putting

to be versatile, but with the gradual

Baby Fan Day.

This is Baby Fan day. and thousands of
small fans are being sold throughout the
city by young women who hope to raise
large sum for the maintenance of the
summer outing camps where the mothers
and infants are being cared for during
the heated term. No more worthy char
ity appeals in the course of the year
to the people of Washington, and it is
to be hoped that by nightfall enough
fans will have been sold at and above
established rates to carry on the pro-
gram of the camps fully to the end of
the season. Every dollar raised in this
manner is a material assistance to the
work. It is vitality important to those
in charge that they know assuredly
where the money is coming from to buy
provisions and supply other necessaries
for the women and children in the
camps BY the sale of these fans, which
is an attractive and appealing way of
bringing the charity to the notice of the
community. the seasons fund should be
guaranteed.

seriously endanger the German western
position.
A state of surprise at the efficiency Of
the new British army is reported from
Berlin, where it was apparently believed
that the English government could not
raise a fighting force by CONSUMPTION
worthy to stand against the highly
drilled, virtually professional soldiers of
Germany. All dispatches indicate that
there is no lack of force on the British
side, and plainly the ammunition supply
has been abundant. The carrying of the
German second lines east of Albert has
been a great shock to the Germans, who
heretofore have been able to hold those
lines against all assaults. If the British
manage to take the third lines, which
they have already penetrated in one or
two places, they will have accomplished
the primary object of the present drive,
which, regardless of the amount of ter
ritory regained, is designed to break
the German resistance on the western
front.

waiting for government utilization for
several years. The other building of
local Importance is an armory for the
National Guard of the District of Co.
lumbia, to cost $soO,oOO, one-half to be
paid by the District This building, un-
fortunately, is to be placed on land al
ready owned by the United States, which
means that it will be put in one of the
parks of the city. 1t would be much
more satisfactory if site not within
the present park area were provided.
The tendency to put public buildings in
established reservations is deplorable, and
it is to be hoped that before this bill
becomes a law it will be amended to
provide for the emplacement of the
armory elsewhere than on public park.

Betting.

Blood will tell. Particularly sporting
blood A good deal of that fluid flows
in American veins. In this country we
bet on nearly everything. Sometimes we
bet not wisely. but too eagerly.
Just now the presidential race at
tracts. Hughes, or Wilson, If a man
replies Hughes he instantly faces the
inquiry, "How strongly do you believe
that7" If he replies Wilson he faces
the same inquiry. In sporting circles
an opinion without money to support it
commands small respect.
When Mr.. Roosevelt accepted Mr..
Hughes as leader some sporting men, as
suming that that meant the complete
union of the bull moosers and the re-
publicans. at once offered two to one on
Hughes. AS they seemed to reason, all
necessary to defeat Mr.. Wilson was the
getting together of the men who voted
for Taft and the men who voted for
Roosevelt in 1912; and that arrange
ment had now been made.
Today we are told that the odds are
on the other side The offers are two
to one on Wilson, with no takers. The
shift grows out of the refusal of some
of the bull moosers to follow Mr.. Roose-
welt into the Hughes camp. No union,
no Hughes victory. The protesting bull
moosers will either support the demo
cratic ticket, or put up ticket of their
own and in that way aid the democrats.
This sort of betting is not done by
those who are called seasoned sports"
On the turf the question at the begin
ming of the racing season is, How have
the nags wintered? And from the an
swer to that come calculations as to how
the nags will perform when the blan-
kets are removed and they face the
starters Veterans who follow the
ponies" want look at them and a bit
of information about their trial work be-
fore investing.
Betting, at either odds or even, on the
presidential race at this time lacks pro-
fessional form There is too little to
go upon. 1t is too soon to invest on
either entrant.
But maybe the transactions reported
are only "feelers" for the purpose of
creating sentiment. 1t is not an un-
familiar thing in New York to put out
some campaign money in such fashion.
The maneuver makes for talk, and talk
in certain circles makes for confidence.
At later day. however, wagers on
this years contest are likely to be nu
merous, and some of them large. A
very keen interest already exists; and
this will grow as time passes. New is
sues are involved, and new alignments

Public Building Legislation.

The provision in the omnibus public
building bill reported yesterday to the
= House which abolishes the Office of
supervising architect and creates new
bureau of public buildings under a com
missioner is more than reorganiza-
tion of the public construction branch
of the government. II is immaterial in
point of fact whether the officer who
has charge of the construction of the
public buildings is called supervising
architect or a commissioner The i'm
portant point is that this new officer will
rhave larger powers than the present one,
: for he will have jurisdiction over the Sc
lection Of sites as well as the drafting
of plans and specifications and the super
: vision Of construction. He will also
have charge Of the care and maintenance
of all public buildings. 1t is in this
latter respect chiefly that the office will
have a widened scope.
Whatever the title and powers of the
Office vested with authority over public
building works, the important point is
that move is made toward a systematic
building provision for the government
The item creating the new Office would
be more effective if it carried with it
an assurance Of consistent effort to sup
:. ply the deficiencies in building equip
ment from which the government is now
suffering. A board of estimates is ere
ated by this bill consisting of the com
missioner of public buildings and two
others designated by the Secretary of
the Treasury. Economies are hoped for
z from certain provisions of the measure
designed to standardize constructions

items of great interest to Washington.

The British Drive.

Reports from Germany indicate the
the persistence of the British attack in
the present drive in Picardy, where the
new English army is moving forward
steadily. The Germans have made no
secret of their contempt for the British
land forces since the beginning of the
war, or for their intense enmity for
that nation. In consequence, when this
drive began there seems to have been
a disposition TO regard it lightly as far
as the British were concerned, although.
as it proved, the heaviest German forces
were thrown in front of the British line
rather than the French This was due,
as it proved later, to the fact that the
German positions north of Peronne are
of much more vital consequence in the
German strategy than the positions
the most urgent importance to hold
them. Nevertheless the British have
continued to take villages and woods
and have pressed on until they are ap-
parently on the point of gaining pos
session of the southerly edge of the
plateau which ranges northward from
the Somme to Bapaume. If they get a
foethold on this height, which appar-
emily is on or near the third German
line of defense, they will have eompara-
lively easy command Of Bapaume itself,
lery in position up the slope. The cap
ture Of Bapaume, accompanied by re-
newed French activity at peronne, would

Hughes and Wilson.

On his trip across the continent and
back Mr.. Hughes will be handsomely re-
ceived Great crowds will greet him.
Whatever he says will be fully reported.
Lists of his callers will be published.
The impressions he makes will be
chronicled and analysed. By the time
: he returns to New York a line will
have been obtained on his qualities as
e stumper applied to the issues of this
: campaign.
= Mr.. Hughes must be aware of the
fact that his party is putting great store
by his powers of statement. In the
Taft campaign of 1908 he delighted his
: friends and staggered the opposition by
the extraordinary force of his appeals.
Mr. Bryan himself. who led the opposi-
+, tion, replied to Mr.. Hughes, but with
out breaking the effect of the latter's
: deliverances. 1t was contest between
cold reason and rhetoric and rhetoric,
of course, lost Mr. Bryan's crowds were
: as large as those of Mr.. Hughes; but
the emotionalism produced by the
I. rhetorician did not make for influence
at the ballot box as did the reflection
produced by the trained reasoner. Mr..
Hughes marshaled more votes on cleo
tion day.
1t is a fair expectation that Mr.
Hughes can do as much in this way for
himself as he did for Mr.. Taft. He has
mastered all existing issues between the
two parties. Our judges keep up with
the political times. There is no reason
why they should not. Their places do
/. not require that they give up party ties
or opinions Hence we may all be sure
that Mr. Hughes did not for the first
: time make the acquaintance of the rec
ord of the Wilson administration when
he retired from the Supreme bench and
accepted the republican nomination for
President Since then he has, of course,
addressed himself mainly to that sub
ject, and is now familiar with it.
In Mr. Wilson, however, Mr.. Hughes
will find a foeman of an order differ
i. ent from the Bryan order. Mr.. Wilson
does not play upon the emotions. In
the sense that Mr.. Bryan is, Mr.. Viii
: son is not rhetorician. His address is
smooth and fluent, but never fiowery.
He avoids overdecoration. So that when
Mr. Hughes and Mr.. Wilson clash the
duel should be much more interesting
than was that of eight years ago when
Mr. Hughes and Mr.. Bryan were pre-
senting each his party's claims to CON
-sideration-
There is no suggestion that Mr.. Will
: son trail Mr.. Hughes. but there is gen
eral expectation that he will take the
stump, and appear in those sections of
the country where the battle will be
fought the most fercely. September and
October will probably show both can
didates in action at their very best.

The largest of all the camps would
be that at Plattsburg, where the ag-
gregate attendance is estimated to be
$4,000. In the central department it
is proposed to have two camps at Fort
Riley, two at Fort Smelling, and three
at Fort Sheridan. In the western de-
