THE GROWTH OF q. W. U.

It will be good news to many stu
dents, both young and old, that
George Washington University con-
templates no immediate limitation
upon its enrolment. Since it re-
verted to the policy of having both
day and evening classes the univer-
sity has shown a phenomenal
growth, and within the last five
years has shown progress which
many institutions achieve only after
prolonged and trying struggles.
President Stockton now is urging
the board of trustees to erect law
school and a science building. 1t is
to be hoped the finances of the in
stitution will permit this expansion.
In many departments the demands
already are SO heavy that the fac
ulty is Handicapped in doing its best
work.
Washington as the seat Of a great
national university has been the
dream Of many educators. One col
lege president, recently when asked
what he would do with 100000
endowment, said he would spend the
income entirely on teachers. 1t SO
happens that George Washington,
along with other universities and
colleges in this city, is fortunate
in its location because it is
able to secure men who are con-
nected with the Government, or who
have come here to live, who are
among the country's foremost ex-
perts in their line.
Having these, and having the op-
portunity of getting more when it
can use them, George Washington
needs only the physical accommOda-
tiOns to take care of its classes. A
great, group of buildings does not
make a university, and George
Washington has no aspirations in
that direction. But it does need suf-
ficient equipment and facilities for
its work, and it is hoped that these
may be provided instead of having
its usefulness curtailed by a limita-
ten Of its student body.

that the sound financial judgment Of
the country would agree that this
ought to be done during the present
period Of big gold receipts and ex-
cessive circulation.
After the war there will be great
demands from all over the world for
use of the credit facilities OF the
United States, and we will have to
stand heavy drafts on our gold. It
is~ altogether desirable to keep 1t in
hand, where It may be used most
effectively. The reserve banks now

Major General Wood, we think, in

ONE MORE NRAR-cRISls

German palaver and American
hesitation to force an issue have
worked together to drag the Lusi-
tania discussion over the greater
part of a year. Germany has at
length come to the point where she
is willing to pay for the American
lives lost and to "regret" the circum-
stances incident to the losing. But
that would be poor satisfaction if
Germany should be permitted to
stand on her claim that, though re-
grettable, it was only regrettable as
any other horror Of war; that it was
legitimate and proper reprisaI
against the maritime policy of Great
Britain.
To accept any such statement Of
the German position and with it re-
ceive the money indemnity would
commit the United States to the
view that such a murder as that of
the Lusitania might be committed
again and again, with merely the
penalty of paying for American
lives. 1t is unthinkable, and the
Washington Government baso repeat
edly refused to take such a posi-
ton. 1t would be like saying to
Germany, "at $4,000 a head, you
may kill any Americans you choose,
if you find them on the seas in ves-
sells you want to destroy"
The difference between the two
governments is thus at the end of
nine months absolutely no nearer
settlement than on the day after
the Lusitania went down. Indeed, it
is farther from settlement, for the
two governments have now had oc-
casion to commit themselves to
views so widely at variance that
their reconciliation is more difficult.
Moreover, complications have arisen
through the Ancona and other cases.
Austria has taken in the Ancona af-
fair just about the same position
Germany Noccupies as to the Lusi-
tania; that is, she is willing to pay,
provided we will accept the cash and
not bother about our humanitarian
obligations or our self-respect. That
we will not do.
So, after repeated conferences
and seemingly endless delays the
time has come when Washington is
said to have demanded quick and
final word whether Berlin will meet
our insistence on disavowal. 1t is
declared that this insistence has
taken the form of near-ultimatum
a date for answer is named. This
may be so; the previous record of
the State Department in this affair
does not suggest such vigorous ac-
ton, but on the other hand the Presi-
dents New York speech about our
international posture does.
Suspension of diplomatic relations
would doubtless be the alternative
if Germany should definitely and
finally decline to meet our wishes,
Such suspension is not necessarily a
step toward war; but it brings the
possibility of war clearly into vision
