IN PREPAREDNESS THE AD-
MINfSTRATiON HAS FOL-
LOWED, NOT LED.

In the demand for reasonable
preparedness the administration
has followed, not led. Those
who demanded more adequate
forces were first described as
nervous and excited" Only
about a year and a half ago we
were told that the question Of
preparedness was not a pressing
one; that the country had been
misinformed. Later, under the
pressure Of other leadership, this
attitude was changed. The adj
ministratiOn, it was said, had
learned something" and it made
belated demand for an in
creased army. Even then the
demand was not prosecuted con-
sistently and the pressure ex-
erted on congress with respect
to other administrative measures
was notably absent.
We are told that the defects re-
vealed by the present mobiliza-
ton are due to the system" But
it was precisely such plain de-
fects that under the constant
warnings of recent years, with
the whole world intent on mill
tary concerns, should have been
studied and rectifed. The adj
ministration has failed to dis
charge its responsibilities. Ap-
parently it is now seeking to
meet political exfgencies by its
naval program. But it has i'm
posed upon the country an In
competent naval administration.

sidering the. difficulties Of operating in
the rough country Of western Rumania.
Unless the Russians can send enough
men Rumania is doomed. Not only the
territory may be occupied, but the Ru-
manian armies themselves may be en-
veloped. Should the Germans push
their line entirely across Rumania they
would materially shorten their front In
the east, extending their advanced po-
sitions to the Black sea by the short
est course along the Russo Rumanian
frontier through Bukowina or along the
ridge of the Carpathians into Galicia.
This would place them face to face with
Russia. 1t would also give them pos
session of the fertile wheat fields of Ru-
mania certain to be of value next year.
1t would increase the difficulties of the
allies in their effort to break the COM
munications with the east, although that
problem depends chiefly upon the sue
cess of the movement in Macedonia. In
one sense the elimination of Rumania
would leave the central powers weaker
relatively than before the entrance Of
that country into the war, as necessarily
the campaign against Rumania will have
cost Germany, Austria and Bulgaria
heavily in man power.

The Belgian Deportations.

1t is announced that this government
is about to make new representations to
G>.uAAay concerning the deportation of
Belgian civilians, upon which matter
the United States has already expressed
its disapproval Since the first declara-
ton by the government on the subject
through the charge at Berlin acting in
the absence of Ambassador Gerard, the
German foreign Office replying that the
deportation of Belgians was military
necessity, representations have reached
the State Department disclosing the
great extent to which Belgian men have
been sent out of their country for labor
in Germany the cruelty with which this
expatriation has been accomplished and
the suffering that has been inflicted
upon the people.
The people of this country do not
approve the action of Germany in its
treatment of Belgium. They regard the
deportations as inhumane and as con-
dignation on this subject has perhaps
not been expressed as strongly as on
other matters arising from Germany's
invasion and occupation of Belgium,
possibly for the reason that a feeling
prevails that protests are unavaillng
However. the sentiment is unmistakable
The deportation is regarded as "Just an
other cruelty practieed upon the I'M
fortunate Belgian people, helpless in the
grip of a conquering force
A strong declaration by this govern
ment condemning the deportations as
contrary to international law and the
law of humanity and in the name of
civilization demanding the restoration
of these men to their homes would meet
with virtually universal approval by the
American people. 1t is indicated that
such a protest may be made. It should.
however, not be delayed, but should go
forth promptly and in the most vigor
Gus terms compatible with Americas
official neutrality, which has been worn
perilously thin by the repeated prac-
tees of the beligerents in defiance of
the precepts of world equity and right
eousness.

Christmas Gifts for Guardsmen.

The proposition to send Christmas
presents to the District soldiers on the
border should appeal strongly to the peo-
pie of Washington irrespective Of per-
sonal relationships. There are now
about 500 men in the various District
units on duty in Texas and Arizona.
While many of these men will receive
Christmas tokens from home, others may
not be in a position to be remembered.
But in any case, a Christmas gift, to the
District troops from the people of
Washington is certain to be appreciated
by these temporary exiles who have
obeyed the call to duty and who have
so splendidly represented the National
Capital at the front"
The Star will undertake to receive
contributions for this purpose and to ar
range for the distribution of the gifts.
Unfortunately it will be impossible to
send this Christmas present in the form
of goods directly from here, owing to
TIE VI tldhSpoi tt'tioii oiiN 'i'S
lack of time. Consequently it Will be
necessary to receive contributions IN the
form of cash with which the presents
can be purchased at centers near the
camps. 1t is important that subserlp-
tions to this fund should be made as
early as possible. so that the plans for
the purchase and distribution can be
made in good season.
A very small sum from each Wash
ingtonian now at home will yield fund
sufficient to give every District guards
man in camp on the border Christmas
token that will mark the day as one of
the most notable in the personal recol-
lection of these young men. A liberal
response to the invitation to subscribe
is to be expected.

case Of needless bundle wrapping is
trifing, the aggregate is enormous. The
development of that small bottle Of ma
chine oil in many times it's bulk Of pro-
tective covering is but one instance
Considering the vast volume Of pur-
chases and deliveries at this season it
can be readily seen that without strict
economy and scrupulous care in the
preparation of goods for distribution the
Washington stores are daily wasting
hundreds of pounds of paper and paste
board. Tonight's bundlewrapping con-
test will reach the roots of this evil
in demonstrating the best methods OF
