Our Restless State Department

A week ago the German reply to the American note was said to have been prepared. Yesterday morning Berlin dispatches stated that nothing had yet been done in the way of preparation; the still un- der consideration the beginning of the third week Our iufantle Washington" by which understand is our department professes to find satis- faction in any phase of the matter that rumor may develop; in the prolonged German deliberatiOn. just as more than a week ago it regarded the news that were have a prompt reply sign that Berlin was hastenng to avert the danger of a rupture with the United States.
 Now. according to Washington Germany realiz- ing the full gravity of the situation IS giving it the most careful consideration in order that friendly Way out of the difficulty may he found.
 It is in these periods of delay between the sending notes and the receipt the replies that the state department always falls down." There is too much loose talking. The last like all the of the long line of predecessors had the ring of decision. There nothing wrong with it. It something the nation proud Combined with apparent frmuess there was moderate tone Re gret that compelled send it through it. IL invoked the approbation of the American people.
 Iut hardly had it reached Berlin and hardly had the Berlin press begun make it and when rumor began to wait hitherward information as to the character of the German reply. our department was invegled by newspaper correspon- dents into indulgins in the bad taste of comment upon the rumored reply; upon situation of which had divested ourselves momentarily and put up to Germany. No rumor was so wild that Washing ton" disreearded it. Mir Lansing without any other information what the reply might be told the correspondents that be definite and unequiy- ocal and in the must there was threat We could nothing of an argumentative character He had spoken the last word
 Doubtless all this useless comment which was very proper think but was highly improper and foolish to utter, has been repeated to Germany and has made it the difficult for Germany accede to demands if there was purpose to do SO or make important concessions if Germany had had such concessions in mind. All this loose talking for handicap to the negotiations.
 Each day the state department has seemed to be trying to impress upon the American people that it is winning a diplomatic victory which can only he in the ultimate and then the people will know whether the department has really vic tory whether 1t has been unanswered again or whether it has receded again
 The dgnified and impressive course of the department would have to hold silence un- til it's time has for the move. It's actual reminds of that bore of q man who hands us document read and then stands at our elbow and makes persua of it impossible by talking about it's contents.

A Question of Veracity

Whatever congress may do. the public will no doubt decide the question of veracity between Rear Ad- lniral Fiske and Secretary Daniels of the navy in favor of the former The public guided alone by the circumstance surrounding the controversy would brought to this conclusion and then the record of Alr. Daniels in his relations with high officers of the navy is rather against him.
 The circumstances are these: The admiral had prepared letter calling attention to the needs of the to it's state of unpreparedness and proof of the fact that it's efficiency has been weakened That the allegations of admiral as to the con dtion of the navy spite of the secretarys general claim for it's improvement under his admins traton later disclosed. The secretary thereupon denied that this information was afforded him by Admiral Fiske. After that though, the letter was produced by clerk from the files of the department The secretary then claimed have had the letter brought his attention though it was in- tended by the very it to be read and studied by the head of the department and not mere ly by underlins. This statement of the secre- tary if true would reflect seriously upon the manage ment of routine business in his office
 But Admiral Fiske declares that he gave the letter in person to the secretary and remained while read it. The admiral could not, without uncanny power of divination have foreseen that the letter would bring about such situation s arisen for the embarrassment of the secretary. the let ter had been given in person to clerk the Admiral would have felt that would be brought to the notice of the secretary. He could not therefore have contrved have letter srnugged into the files the department with intention later of accIs- ing the unknowng secretary having disregarded it That s the admiral could not have thought of such a "frame-up" however much inclined he might have been to put the secretary into hole It must there

LLOYD GEORGE APPOINTED PREMIER OF
GREAT BRITAIN

Great Britain has just passed through gov
ernment crisis which, for time, threatened
political chaos. Herbert HI. Asquith, premier
for eight years, resigned on December s. I'm
mediately afterward, King George summoned
Andrew Bonar Law to the place and offered him
the prime minister's commission. Mr. Law,
however, refused to accept.
The king then called the party leaders to
buckingham Palace and conferred with them,
with the result that Mr.. Lloyd-George, who re-
Gently succeeded Lord Kitchener as secretary Of
state for war, was offered the premiership,
which he accepted.
The construction placed upon the selection Of
the Welsh statesman is that the British govern
ment will turn deaf ear to all peace proposals.
Lloyd-George will be counted on to push the
actual fighting by British troops with the same
driving force and vigor which has characterized
all his other public acts
The impression generally prevails throughout
the United States that he is the one man in
Great Britain today who can take hold Of the
situation and command the confidence Of the
people and the allies

BUCHAREST TAKEN
Austro- German Lines Practically Strengthened
from North to South

Bucharest, the capital Of Roumania, was cap
tured by Austro- German forces on December g.
Since the armies of General Won Falkenhayn
and General Won Mackensen effected a junction
on November 26, it has been regarded practical
ly as a certainty that Bucharest would be taken
It's capture marks the elimination Of what is
regarded by military commentators as zone Of
the most soundly conceived and brilliantly ex-
ecuted strategical feats Of the war;
Continuously outfanked on both the south
and north by two great converging armies, the
Roumanians had no choice but to fall back upon
the line of their capital, and they now have been
forced to yield that.
Ploechti, an important railway junction town
thirty-six miles north Of Bucharest also has
been taken.
The outline Of Roumania on the map some
what resembles huge boot The foot Of the
boot has now been taken, and the Austro- Ger
man lines have been practically Strengthened,
from north to south.
The taking of Bucharest virtually completes
the conquest by Teutonic forces, Of more than
$4,000 square miles,
