ROOSEvELT'S TRIBUTE TO
HUGHES

No man has had more to do with
making the public career of Charles
E. Hughes possible and useful,
aside from Mr.. Hughes himself, than
Theodore Roosevelt. His confidence
in Mr.. Hughes has been testified by
his uniform and effective support in
the past, in more than one critical
period of Mr.. Hughes public service.
Colonel Roosevelt knows his New
York as almost nobody Else does. He
found in Mr.. Hughes, many years
ago, man peculiarly deserving sup
port; and he gave it unstintedly. He
gave it during the first Hughes ad-
ministration as governor, he helped
powerfully to insure the rsnomina-
ton and reelection, of Mr.. Hughes;
and this year he has renewed the tes-
timony to his confidence. Therefore
the Roosevelt certificate of charac-
ter for Mr., Hughes will be certain
to have great weight. 49, =

Mr.. Hughes meets the conditions set

BUSINESS, If WAR COMES

There never was a time when this
country could better have sustained
the burden Of war than now. Not
only is it incomparably richey than
when the Spanish war came, but its
wealth is in more available form.
The financial system has been estab-
lished, first on a gold basis, and more
recently on a basis that recognizes
the need to provide proper currency
elasticity.
Our gold stock is beyond concep-
ton greater than any other country
ever possessed, and is more liquid
and available than it ever was. The
danger Of panic is hardly to be con-
sidered; for the financial effects of
the European conflict were far more
apparent, and more apparently dis
astrous, at the beginning of that war,
than any consequences of a Mexican
break could possibly be. Yet there
was no panic in 1914, and the coun-
try's gold stock has since then
gained, net, about $4,000 900
through imports; and near half that
much by new production which has
remained here.
Viewed from the cold -blooded eco
nomic side, it is perfectly possible
that bit Of the rigorous economic
regimen that war would impose upon
this country might actually have in
the long run a beneficial effect. Not
beneficial enough indeed to justify a.
plunge into It; no such consideration
could justify war. But at least it
may safely be said that the country
has little to fear Of financial conse-
Guence from a Mexican campaign.

STRAND.

The value Of actors and actresses Of
experience and a stage director and
producer as star In photoplay produce
lions Is the big lesson which William
Gillette teaches in Sherlock Holmes"
as motion picture to be seen the first
part OF this Week at the Strand.
The Esranay-N. l.. g. +. forces have
shown wisdom in permitting Mr.. GIL
lette to rule the production OF his play
and In allowing him to do Il as he
thought II ought to be done The re-
suit Is a practical lesson in photo-dra-
mates for photoplay producers and an
almost perfect rendition OF stage
play and a story along the lines the
motion picture Is expected by its friends
to make Its greatest contributions to
both the drama and literature.
Mr.. Gillette did not direct the actual
production OF the play. But the whole
atmosphere Is so distinctly Gillette that
his influence can be seen in the work
OF Director Arthur Berthelet.
But one motion picture actor OF any
prominence appears In the cast, Ernest
Maupin In the important role OF Prof.
Moriarity. Mr.. Maupin acquits him
self exceedingly WE'LL measuring up to
the other members of the cast in a
most satisfactory way. The others who

THE RIGHT SPIRIT OF HELP.
FULNESS

Washington stay-at-homes are
showing their patriotism in only less
measure than those who are going
to the front. They who remain are
responding nobly to the duty and
privilege Of helping take care Of the
families Of those who have gone.
Perhaps such care will not be
necessary. It may be that the Fed
eral Government and private en-
ployers will meet the need. II so,
that much the better. But through
scores Of organizations of every
character Washington has shown it.
self willing to extend aid.
Washington has realized the point
The Times tried to drive home when
the first stir in this movement was
made. The families of national
guardsmen must not be made objects
Of charity. The city has shown al
ready that it does not desire these
families aided through the machin-
cry Of its charity or relief-giving
organizations. The community wishes

which the Rotary Club, the woman's
department Of the National Civic
Federation, the Retail Merchants
Association, and other bodies have

A NEW SUBMARINE CAMPAIGN

1t is reported that a new fleet OF
submarines of unprecedented size,
power, and radius, is building in Ger
many, and will be turned loose
shortly to carry the naval war into a
more advanced phase. They are said
10 be $50 feet long.
The time is exactly right for Ger
many to launch such a project. Since
the rather tentative meeting ~ the
minds between the United STATES
and Germany as to methods of sub
marine warfare, Berlin has conduct
ed its operations with regard to the
general rules Of humanity laid down
by the Washington Government.
But all this need not be taken as
assurance that the danger Of clash
with Germany is past. With the
United States at last forced into
open conflict in Mexico, the time is
highly suspicious for Germany to
inaugurate new and more reckless
undersea campaign, provided it be
true that she has the material to
wage it. There. are especial incen-
tives, indeed, to do this. The mill
tary situation has turned to the dis
advantage of the central powers.
They have not won at Verdun, and
they have lost heavily in the east.
The British are fast getting ready
for the big push in the west. Cap
tious critics of England may still
insist that her four or five millions
OF troops are not intended for seri-
Gus fighting; but Berlin is not fool
ing itself with any such stuff. Ber-
lin knows better.
A taste of blood was provided by
the battle off Jutland, which has re-
kindled German zest for a further
test Of sea power. The whole posi-
ton gives color, in short, to the ex-
pectation that some big enterprise
will be set afoot before long and that
a new and more savage submarine
program will be an important part
Of it,

A PUBLIC BUILDING BOARD

A step in the right direction Is the
provision for a public building COM
mission, which the Senate committee
has written into the sundry civil bill.
The commission would have gen
eral supervision of location, schemes,
and architecture Of public buildings
in Washington. It's creation would
be in contemplation of q plan ulti-
mately ITO provide permanent quar-
tiers for all the governmental activi-
ties in the District in buildings
owned by the Government"
In a broad way, it can be said that
the quality Of results would be
largely propdrtioned to the measure
Of consideration given to the Fine
Arts COMMISSIONS advice. The COM
mission As directed to avail itself Of
that advice. It might well be COM
PEELED to go farther, by giving that
commission a voting representation
on the building board. As the Sem
ste provision reads, the board will
include two members each from the
appropriations and Public Buildings
Committees of both houses, the Su-
perintendent of Public Buildings and
Grounds, the superintendent of the
Capitol buildings and grounds, and
the supervising architect of the
Treasury.
The requirement that this board

survey of Washington from the pub

indicates purpose to get results soon.

made long ago; but 1t must not be
allowed to become merely a project

ment. Esthetic, landscape, and ar
chitectural aspects must be given
full consideration

LLOYD.dEOR0E WINS AGAIN

Acceptance by the Nationalist
conference Of Lloyd-George's modi-
fled home rule scheme, which ex-
cludes six Ulster counties from its
provisions, calls attention anew to
the remarkable success as a concilia-
tor Of this strong man of the As
quith cabinet. The vote of nearly
two to one shows the heartiness with
which Lloyd-George's proposal was
Endorsed by those who were expected
to fight shy of it. Following a IA
vorable vote of the Unionists, the ac-
ton of the Obstetrics presages final
adoption of the proposal.
Lloyd-George is proving his right
to title applied to one of the note
worthy figures of American history
the Great Pacificator. But Of what
a different temper is this earnest, in
cisive, sympathetic, wise Welshman!
Who would have believed, when he
sponsored the budget reforms which
brought him the enmity Of the estab-
lished classes of the empire, that he
would so soon be their champion
against malcontents
Henry Clay was a born mediator,
but Lloyd George is born agitator,
one who would crash old idols from
their pedestals; yet one who, in the
present crisis, is turned conserva-
tive because he realizes that i'm
provement can come only through
the maintenance of recognized au-
thority in times like these.
This war did not at first have
the whole-souled approval of Lloyd,
George. Thus we find him in those
early, formative days of the conflict
openly advising against the particle
patton of Great Britain. But when
his country was irrevocably commit
ted he plunged into its service with

move in the interest of the election
Of Mr.. Wilson, Colonel Roosevelt
says:
I regard Mr.. Hughes as q man
whose public record is a guarantee
that he will not merely stand for q
program OF clean-cut. straightout
Americanism before election, but will

all comparison better fitted to be
President than Mr.. Wilson.
And II this Is reason for Progress
sives to vote for Mr.. Hughes in the
effort to prevent the reelection Of
Mr.. Wilson, it is just as good reason
for Independents and for many Dem
ocrats who must now be convinced
that II 1t has been a great misfortune
to have Mr.. Wilson and his party in
control Of the United States Govern
ment for the last three years. It
might very well become an irrepa-
rable calamity to continue that con-
troll for another four years after
next March.
What Colonel Roosevelt says
about Mr.. Hughes and the hyphenate
vote is singularly telling, because
there is no other man in the United
States who has been 30 insistent that
the voters should not elect any candi-
date for President whose American
ism might lack backbone.
As to the possibility Of Mr..
Hughes being influenced by the evil
intrigues Of these hyphenated Amer.

Affairs justify us In the assured
conviction that the fact that these
men have for their own purposes

life Is a guarantee Of this.
And as for his being a man of
deeds rather than a man Of words,
in a German, a Mexican, or any
other emergency, this is Colonel
Roosevelt's opinion Of Mr.. Hughes:
He possesses that habit Of straight
forward thinking which means that
his words will be correlated with
his deeds and translated into facts.
His past career Is the warrant for
our belief that no Will be the I'M
