The Capture of Bucharest.

The Kaiser, and the Teutonic people
generally, have attached more i'm
portance to the capture of Bucharest
by the central powers than the vic
tory justly warrants. Undisputably
the capture of the Rumanian capital
was a distinct success for the Teu-
tons, but principally because of its
moral effect in inspiring the invad-
ing armies to greater efforts and of
disheartening the defeated forces.
But aside from this moral effect,
the victory means relatively little.
The war will be decided not by cap
tured cities and overrun territory, but
by captured armies and crushed
forces. The Teutons have captured
Rumania's capital, but they have failed
thus far to capture the armies that
made the city at all covetabIe.
The startling news from the Balkan
theater of war is not that Bucharest
was captured, but that the Rumanian
army escaped. The fall of Bucharest
was inevitable, for the tiny Rumanian
army, with its handicap of fatally false
strategy at the beginning of the strug-
gle, could not have been expected to
stay, for any length of time, the on
rushing tide of Teutonic invasion, the
great military steamroller of the CEN
trail powers.
That the Rumanians escaped and
so far have been able to keep their
forces comparatively intact is the
surprising feature of the news and
speaks eloquently for the bravery
and the military skill of the re-
treating army. The Rumanians are
retreating with the hope of later be-
ing able, with Russian aid, to make
a stand against the invaders and of
engaging in a final and decisive bat
tie. If they succeed it will be one
of the military triumphs, one of the
heroic strokes of the war. If they
fail it will be failure that will carry
with it none of the sting of ignomin-
ious defeat but rather all the glory
of heroism that is due a tiny nation
struggling against the greatest fight
ing machine the world ever produced
The Washington herald., 1916-12-18

There is no doubt that Francis Joseph
was popular with his people, although,
according to American theories, no king
or emperor ought to be liked. Racial
character was not responsible for this, in
asmuch as Austro-Hungary is anything
but harmonious racially. Perhaps, as
subjects have been known to do be-
fore, Francis Joseph's people looked
upon him as one who was above tho
systems of oppression as they were be-
low 1t. and who would help them if ne
could. Monarchies breed such supersri-
tions. We need not pride ourselves as
Americans on being above them. When
any kind Of royalty comes to this coun-
try We fail over ourselves to have a
look at 1t. When We get very rich and
well up in q social way we like to have
our daughters marry into the noble fam
lies Of Europe: and anyone with half a
claim to q. .decayed title can romp around
and be honized in America, whether or
not he has any other virtues. The Aus
trian peasants reverence for Francis Jo-
seph, however, exaggerated it may have
been in comparison with the qualities of
the man, is nobler than this puerile
American title worship.-San Francisco

District Employees,

District employees have good reason
to feel hopeful for graded increase
in their salaries, now that the graded
increase plan worked out by their
own representatives has been sub
mitted with the approval of the Dis
trict Commissioners to the House
Committee which is considering the
District bill.
President Wilson himself once
called the attention of the Commis-
sioners to the inadequate salaries
paid to the laboring men in the Dis
trict service, characterizing it as
"meager dole" An advance of IS
cents day followed, but even with
this increase the salary is 1913 per
cent less than that paid for similar
work in municipalities of similar
size. 1t works out less than $I.so a
day.
In other grades of the service men
are employed to do responsible work
as skilled laborers and mechanics and
some even as foremen at salaries of
less than So a day, with no holidays
or sick leave or vacations allowed.
In other municipalities the average
pay for the same class of work is
81, 600. The government starts its
stenographers and clerks in the clas-
sihed service at 5000 year. For the
same work in the District service
5000 is the maximum.
Under ruling of the Comptroller
of the Treasury, the District en-
ployes are rated as in the service of
a municipality and not included un-
der the classification of government
employees.
In order for the District workers
to share in any legislation that Con-
gress may enact for higher salaries,
they must be considered separately
from employees in the government de-
partments. That is the purpose of
the plan submitted to the House
Committee considering the District
bill.
The Federal employees are in urgent
need of an increase in compensation
and the District employees need it
even more. 1t might be worth while
for Congress to consider Commits
sioner Brownlow's recommendation
that the working force of the Dis
trict be placed in the classified serv-
ice for the mutual benefit of the en-
ployes and the local government.

German children cannot have any
lead soldiers this Yuletide. The real
soldiers demand all the lead available,
and the toy soldiers are all of papier-
mache. There is a notable decrease
in the number of trinkets pertaining
to militarism in the shops of the
Kaiser's realm. Last year and the
year before these shops were filled
with playthings having direct rela-
tion to affairs at the front. 1t is well
to give the children a chance to es-
cape the suggestion of wars horrors
so far as possible.
