A NEW SUBMARINE PUZZLE

Greeks come, bearing gifts. Ger
many sends its ambassador to tell
the United States Government that
German submarines operating in the
Mediterranean are required to be
good; if any Of them violate the in
structions, their commanders will be
punished. If German submarine
torpedoed the Persia, in violation of
these instructions, Germany will
make it right with this country. Pas
sengers and crews on merchant ships
in the Mediterranean are to have
their safety insured before the yes
sells are destroyed. Furthermore,
Germany proposes thus tardily that
she will pay indemnity for the
American lives lost in the Lusitania
sinking.
All this comes without warning,
and utterly unexpected. Germany
heretofore has cultivated the i'm
preston that she was operating no
submarines in the Mediterranean. 1t
would appear now that Germany is
to assume responsibility for the
sinking of the Persia, and that she
is clearing, the way to do this, by
offering to settle the Lusitania af-
fair, and announcing some rules that
will make it possible for her to
avoid governmental responsibility
and instead impose the blame on an
undersea commander.
The whole performance will at
least bear watching. 1t looks and
sounds like a devious scheme to get
Austria out of a tight hole, in its
relations with the United States
and shoulder the whole affair over
onto Germany, after first getting
Germany into such a posture that
she can more gracefully accept il
than Austria could.
Amid all the letter writing and
note exchanges from the beginning
of maritime massacre in this war, il
will be observed that nothing has
transpired that stopped or lessened
the savagery of the proceeding. The
promise, coming now, that a Lusi.
tania indemnity will be paid, does
not mean any more than that if an.
other mistake" like the Lusitania il
perpetrated. more indemnity will be
paid if Americans suffer, and an
other commander will be punished.
/ That does not restore the lives tt
victims. Neither does it help in
sure the freedom of the seas t.
commerce. To accept that German,
may go on killing innocents on tn,
sea, on condition that she will "pun
ish" a submarine officer and pa,
some paltry dollars for the Ameri
can lives lost, is only to admit tina
at such a price we barter away tn,
great right of free seas, safe seas
world-owned seas.
The new German communication
suggest that a trap is being pre-
pared. and that if the United State
falls into it we are liable to emerg
from this submarine controversy il
worse condition than we were i'm
mediately after the Lusitania dis
aster. Surely the experience of tn
last eight months is enough t
warn that we shall place no trust il
promises which repeatedly have bee
violated almost as they were in tn
making.

NOW FOR SOME REAL
PROORESSi

Let it be borne in mind always
that the select committee Of Con-
gress which has recommended the
abolition of a particular method of
making Federal contributions to
District support, does not recon-
mend that the contributions be dis
continued. Rather, it recommends
that policy of liberal and continu-
Gus contributions by the nation be
adopted.
There is no more reason why the
relations between national and local
governments should not be read
justed now, than there was, forty
years ago, when the half-and-half
plan was adopted to meet the ex-
igencies of that time. A new ex-
igency has arisen, demanding differ
ent handling. Then, the town was
bankrupt; the particular thing it
needed was to be saved from its
creditors. Today conditions are so
completely changed that everybody
wants to be the creditor of the
town; it's credit is substantially the
same as that of the Federal Gov
ernment, which is the best in the
world.
But while this much of financial
rehabilitation has been wrought un-
der the half-and-half plan, there is
yet wide field in which the need for
advancement Of very different sort
is keenly realized. The Government
has not been able to keep pace with
modern tendencies in the handling
of what may roughly be called social
and community problems. There
must be determination of many new
policies toward new issues. The
people of the city are entitled to a
larger voice, freer hearing, a more
generous recognition of their pri-
mary concern about many things
that intimately affect them as resi-
dents here, while having only re-
mote relation to the status of the
city as Capital of the nation and a
real world-city.
Throughout the report of the Sc
lect committee breathes the spirit of
candid recognition and frank under
standing Of this state of affairs. The
anomalous form Of government here
must always somewhat subordinate
merely local sentiment and aspira-
tions to the larger national purposes
in dealing with the city. But, after
all, Washington is not alone in this
subordination of local concerns to a
higher authority; the State legis-
latures have not granted real home
rule to their cities; New York is
hampered at Albany. and Chicago is
not infrequently ham-strung at
Springfield. Washington needs, as
those cities do, larger part in the
direction of its own affairs; and
there is gratifying indication, in the
intelligent and understanding report
Of the select committee, that that
fact is to be recognized in future.

DEMOCRATIC HARMONY.

The Democratic party has at last reached a day of gracious dispensa- tion. The utmost harmony will pre- vail in St. Louis. Lingering clouds that iecked the horizon with doubt have quietly drifted away. But one leader will be recognized. Woodrow Wilson, by some miraculous gift, has brought all factions together. Even the platform of his original concep- ton will be adopted with possibly one or two minor amendments.
 The preliminary fight on Thomas Marshall for the vice presidency has, it is understood been abandoned. Of course, the unexpected may happen. The unexpected must always be look ed for, but in this instance it seems as though the Democratic machine is in better shape than that of the regu- lar Republicans.
 At this particular time it seems but right that Vice President Marshall should be renominated If he was a good enough man to be the running mate of President Wilson in 1912 he should be good enough today.
 As a further evidence of the spen- did discipline of Woodrow Wilson, Senator Ollie James will be made permanent chairman in order that the force and influence of Speaker Clark may be used on the floor in the event eXgencies, unexpected, demand it.
 The State of Missouri will be rep resented, because Senator Stone has been selected as temporary chairman and will call the convention of 1916 10 order.
 There was a signal rebuke in the statement of President Wilson that because an associate justice of the Federal Supreme Court sees fit to re- sign in order to accept the presiden- tal nomination he should be criti- eised This will be a forewarner to the orators who wifi address the con yer,on.
 With the nominations virtually agreed upon and with but two con- tested delegations to appear before the committee on credentials all looks like smooth sailing
 The Democratic party is at last pemanently united. There are diff 1erences of opinion among the lead CTS This is but natural, but when the national issue is presented they stand together
 t IS different with the Republicans, Tor here can be found house divid- ed against itself.
 The Democratic convention in St. Louis promises to be the most har- momous held in more than 20 years. commercial Appeal

ADVANCE OF EIGHTY
 MILES BY RUSSIANS
Despite Terrific Smelling by Ger mans, Canadian Troops Which Captured Large Slice of Ter ritOry, Able to Hold Ground.

London, June 14.-An advance of about eighty miles by the Russians, who have Czernowitz as their objec- tive, is chronicled in the latest state ment. Having previously crossed the Dnlester river and taken Horodenka and Zale Szczyky, the Russians have lnow driven their men to the left bank of the river Pruth and captured the town of Sniatyn, which lies only twenty miles northwest of the Buko- wina capital.
 Nowhere on the front from the Pripet river in Russia and Galicia. has there been any cessation in the offensive. Along the entire line the enemy is being driven back and the Russians are still taking thousands of prisoners and capturing war mmi- tions and guns.
 In the eleven days drive 1,7SO off, cers and 120,000 men and 130 guns and 260 machine guns have been cap tured. In the lower end of the Ger man line in Russian Baranovichi the Russians have evidently anticipa Gd the proposed German offensive and taken the initiative into their own hands. After violent artillery pre- paration they seven times essayed to storm the German lines. Berlin says, however, all their efforts failed, and | they were repulsed
 | The fighting around Verdun has dwindled to intermittent lombard ments, there having been no infantry attack on this front since Tuesday, when French positions south of Thi- aumont farm were captured by the ] Germans.
 The Canadians around Zillebeke in Belgium are holding to the 1,500 yards of ground recaptured from the Germans Tuesday, although the Ger mans are heavily shelling them. No infantry attacks have been carried out by the Teutons. The latest ad- vices from the Italian theatre credits the Italians with repulsing violent Austrian attacks on the Posina front northwest of Schio On the other sectors of the line the Austrians are bombarding the Italian positions.
 The German auxiliary cruiser Her. mann has been attacked and sunk in the Baltic southeast of Stockholm by four Russian torpedo boat destroyers, according to Berlin. Reports from Sweden and Denmark concerning the 1 fight say it was between torpedo craft and German auxiliary cruiser some torpedo boats and armed traw- lers conveying German merchantmen. In addition to the cruiser and a Ger man destroyer, twelve of the mer- chantmen are reported to have been sunk
 It is anticipated in London that David Lloyd George will take the place of the late Lord Kitchener. In case Mir. George accepts the portfolio 1 it is not believed he will give up en- tirely his present duties.

MAKING IT PLAIN

The government had installed a telegraph line from Prejedor to Bi- hatch (Bosnia.)
 What is the meaning of this wire?' asked the astonished inhabi- tants of a village through which the line happened to pass.
 Tt is a telegraph" said the head man of the village, who had been in consultation with the officials. One can send message along this wire, straight from here to Stamboul."
 The villagers were incredulous. That is impossible! How can a message run along a wire?"
 The head-man thought a while; then he hit upon the proper explana- ton. Imagine" he said, "a dog that is terribly long, and whose tail is stretched, like a the wire on these poles; imagine that his tail is so long that he reaches from here to Stam- bout. Now, suppose we pinched his tail here. Wouldn't he howl in Stam- bout 2"
 The villagers understood.
