The Y. W. c. A. Golden Jubilee.

The fiftieth anniversary of the
Young Women's Christian Associa-
ton, which is being celebrated local
ly, is an event which is of interest to
all Washingtonians. This oreaniza-
ton has done a remarkable work
among the young women of the Coun-
try comparable with that done for
the young men by the older associa-
ton 1t is educational, directional
and morally most helpful to its men,
bers, and is a benefcent influence
in every community in which it is es-
tablished. Locally the Y. w. c. A.
has been considerably handicapped
for years owing to the lack of suit
able accommodations and its growth
in these circumstances has been ex-
ceptional. There is prospect of a
new building as soon as funds now
accommodating have reached the neces-
sary point to warrant construction on
a site already obtained, and it is to
be hoped that under the stimulus of
the golden jubilee the Washington
branch will be placed in a position to
undertake this work without further
delay. The people Of Washington
have an opportunity. in this matter
to invest in an equipment for an in
stitution that is worth many times
its cost.

Ground Hog Day.

For several weeks prophets have
eroaked Of the hard winter that was
to be experienced, pointing to the
mildness of the early season as a
sure evidence that ultimately the ele-
ments would take toll of this part of
the country in a visitation Of great
severity. So far the winter has been
mild and open, with many springlike
days. with a minimum of snow and
ice-in fact, quite the usual winter
Of Washington. Now comes ground
hog day, when, according to old-time
belief, the weatherwise little rodent
comes out of his hiding place to take
a look around. It 10 an ideal day for
the saeund hog to stay out If shadows

prize she must be restored to Great
Britain. The release of her civilian
company is in any case demanded by
every consideration of humanity. If
the vessel puts to sea again as an
auxiliary warship she is. of course,
liable to capture by British man-of-
war. in which case she will be taken
to her home port and restored to the
merchant service.
While the United States is ponder
ing these questions, precipitated by
the Appam's appearance in Hamp-
ton road, the government at London
| has occasion to think very seriously
over the disclosure that German sea
raider is at work somewhere between
the African and American coasts so eff
fectively as to have taken at least
eight ships. Naturally the British
admiralty will undertake to trace
and capture this commerce destroyer.
There is also food for refec-
ton in the demonstration that
the German commerce destruc-
ton program is somewhat changed.
Instead of using submarines.

~ the Moewe had reached nearly her
capacity of accommodation when she
was lucky enough to strike the Appam,
the largest OF all her prizes. which
afforded an opportunity to transship
her prisoners. If this is intended as
demonstration OF humanity it is ef-
fective.

For laughter or applause.

From all attempts to teach.
