Mr.. Marshall on the Record.

In his speech of acceptance yester-
day Vice President Marshall declared
that "a changed administration would
not dare repeal a single one of the i'm
portant measures put on the statute
books since March 4, 1913" If Mr..
Marshall, who is on the eve of taking
the stump, can convince the country of
his proposition, a democratic triumph in
November viii be a certainty. But can he 2
The quantity of the legislation en-
acted in the past three years is not in
dispute. The measures stand cata-
logued. 1t is the quality that furnishes
the material for the present campaign.
That is in very serious dispute, the re-
publicans challenging in sweeping and
most direct fashion. Hence the easily
established fact that, if control of af-
fairs is changed, much of what has been
done by Congress under the Wilson ad-
ministration, and practically at the
Presidents direction, will be repealed
or materially amended in the near
future.

Calls for Mr.. Wilson.

The Maine result has given some of
the Presidents intimate friends and sup
norters a chill, and sent them to him in
something of an ague. They want him
To speak oftener than his plans have con-
templated. Those who are candidates
Themselves wonld be glad of a word from
him delivered in their own bailiwicks.
In other words, they think he ought to
recall his decision-change his mind
about sturping, and take the stump
frankly and cinfessedly.
There is much to this view of the
case. While Mr.. Wilson is not a mag
uetic man, and not an orator as Mr..
Bryan and Champ Clark are, visit
from him would rouse any locality to a
considerable degree. He is not only his
party's supreme leader. but its supreme
asset He is the democratic issue. Nat
ura1lv. therefore, an appeal by word of
mouth from him is desired by his party
friends in every quarter of the debata-
HE territory.
IF the matter is pressed it will be be-
cause of the announcement of Mr..
Hughes second stumping tour. The
itinerary will take the republican can
didate into Illinois. Wisconsin, Indiana,
Ohio, New Jersey and New York, all of
tons of both parties.
And this time it viii not be possible
to nislead Nhe public either as to Mr..
Hughes reception, or the effects of his
speeches on his audiences. There will
he no .'frosts.r no lack of punch" re-
ported In Maine, as reports stated, the
republican candidate put fire and en-
thusiasn into his party's work; and
there was not minute after his first
speech in the state when the final re-
suIt was in doubt"
On the tide of this success Mr.. Hughes
will move on three of the middle states,
one northwestern state and two eastern
states. Is If difficult to forecast what
his receptions will be? Is there any risk
N the prediction that having tried the
different issues on the west and on
Maine he is instructed now as to their
relative values, and viii present the
strongest in their strongest form at his
future meetings? There will be punch"
enough, we may all be sure, to put his
arguments cover" every time
The President is quoted for the opin-
Jon that stumping by him would not be
good form. What is the difference, e1-
ecpt as to personal comfort, between adj
dressing delegation at Shadow Lawn,
and a meeting at Podunka Shadow
Lawn IS stump for all practical pur-
poses. Maybe Mr.. Wilson, in the end,

although calling them by another name,

dous territory to the enemy. With
drawal in the Isonzo. region would leave
the Italians content and release large
numbers of them for service on other
fronts. Withdrawal in France and Bel
GUM would yield territory and bring
the war dangerously close to German
soil. and moreover would lose for Ger
many a great area now under cultiva-
ton, from which food supplies have been
obtained, but, more important still,
would yield valuable coal and iron fields
from which the greater part Of the ma
terials for munition making have been
obtained.
The problem facing the German high
command is a serious one. Just now. 1t
is reported. the word has gone forth that
the policy is to be Offensive in the Bal
kans, defensive elsewhere Save for
the Balkan offensive, that has been the
policy virtually ever since the Russian
drive began in June, and especially
since the allied drive started in the west
July ]. Withdrawal may be part of the
defensive game, slow withdrawal calcu-
lated to cost the offensive as heavily as
possible On the Somme. however, where
the successive French and English ad-
vances have actually heightened the
German line. it would appear as though
the withdrawal process were costing the
Germans more heavily than the French
and English. The allies are making
greater gains lately than at any time
since the drive began, save during the
first two or three days. These repeated
advances indicate that the German line
has either been weakened in men, or
has been thrust back beyond the heavily
constructed trenches, into zone of has
tily built defenses, which are easily car
ried by assault, following concentrated
artillery fire IF either of these condi-
tons prevails the situation for Germany
in the west is far from reassuring. In
deed, a material withdrawal there under
compulsion may follow few more sue
cesses such as that scored by the French
lately near Combles and by the British
at Ginchy, where the advance was ac-
complished with comparatively small
loss.

Tomorrow's Police Carnival.

Tomorrow the citizens of Washington
will have an opportunity to attest to
their interest in the welfare of the mem
bers of the District police force, by at
tending the carnival and athletic games
that are to be held at the base ball park
for the benefit of the police relief fund.
Preparations for the event have been
under way for weeks, and an entertain
ment of high order is assured. But apart
from the diversion itself, there is rea-
son why the public should patronize this
affair The fund which the enterprise
is designed to aid is that from which
the police pay the widows and depend
ents of deceased members of the force
1t is not pension fund, but a relief
fund. 1t puts into the hands of the
family of the dead member of the force
sum of money Immediately, for use
at the time of greatest need. Later the
pension from the regular municipal fund
is paid to the dependents-if the fund
has not been depleted, as was often the
case under the old system, now happily
supplanted.
The policemen themselves keep up this
fund by assessments upon themselves.
1t has never been large, and some years
ago it was almost wiped out by mis-
fortune which in nowise reflected upon
the members of the force. Since then
it has at times barely been sufficient to
meet the demands made upon it. Now
it is hoped to replenish the fund by the
public patronage of tomorrow's games,
and if there is generous response to
the invitation given the relief associa-
toms treasury will be put once more on
its feet.
Every half-dollar paid III at the gates
tomorrow will be of direct benefit to
the widows and orphans of the police
men who die in service. These men are
the local guardians. They constitute one
Of the best police forces in the coun-
try, splendid body of men, trustworthy,
competent and loyal. They deserve the
utmost support that the public can give
them tomorrow.

Germany's Grave Military Problem.

When Rumania entered the war. with
sn army variously estimated at from
900 900 TO 100000, the battle lines which
the central powers of Europe were re-
qutred TO defend were increased by sew
eral hundred miles, without anv CORE
spending increase in the number of
troops available for the defense. Even
Il R0mania were to be crushed com
pletely and her army eliminated by the
new Teutonic-BulgarT Turkish drive that
IS reported 70 have been ordered in the
east, the process Of elimination will cost
heavily, so that az net result of Ru-
rnania's entrance and crushing, such a
campaign would leave the central pow
ers weaker than before. with no real
shortening Of the battle lines.
The conclusion cannot be evaded tina.
Ruuania's entrance was crucial factor
in the war, making distinctly against
The Teutonic allies. A shortening of the
German lines somewhere is regarded by
war observers as necessary, in view of
the fact that the Teutonic forces are
weaker through heavy blows delivered
ct various points, by Russia in GaIieia
and Bukowina, by Rumania in Transyl-
vania and by the French and British
IN Picardy.
Typographical reasons are against a
shortening of the line in Russia, where
it bends badly in places, for by with
drawai some distance westward Germany
would lose the advantage Of the central
marshes, where she is not compelled to
hold large forces to stem the Russian
movement. A withdrawal there would
actually mean a net disadvantage. With
drawal ID Hungary would yield trempr

law, which had failed before the war
began. will be repealed.
Amendments to the new currency law,
which has a republican foundation, will
be made, as the result of defects dis
closed by its operation. It is likely, too,
that changes will be made in the rural
credits law, which has not as yet been
tried. If the law in action shows the
defects suggested and expected by some
practical bankers and some farmers,
changes will be necessary in the inter
ests of all.
The so-called merchant marine legis-
lation will not build merchant fleet to
answer our needs, and hence will not
survive if the republicans come in.
As for the hold-up railroad law, that
cannot stand in it's present shape. Labor,
organized and unorganized, the rail
roads and the public, all will insist on
something that does not bear the ear
mark of either force or panic-some-
thing reasoned out, with everybody in
interest allowed a say and benefit.
If the administration is changed next
March what will be done to the demo-
cratic legislative record may be de-
scribed in Champ Clark's phrase as
good and plenty" Indeed, even if the
administration is not changed, that rec
ord will undergo several material altera-
tions. It was a rush program, which in
certain features was botched.
