A RED CROSS REMINDER

II there is anything that should
bring home to the American citizen
the need of active support of the
work of the Red Cross it is the Next
can crisis of today. Annual men,
bership in the Red Cross costs 81 a
year, and recently it asked for one
million members. In a nation of one
hundred millions a membership of
ten million would be only fairly rep
resentative Of the work for which
the Red Cross organization stands.
The Red Cross means prepared
ness for humanity. It does it's work
in war and in peace times, for calam-
tiles befall city, State, or a sec
ton of the country as suddenly as
lightning leaps from the clouds. It
is a national duty that the Red Cross
be properly maintained. Are you a
member? The opportunity to join
Is open to all today.

GET THE HOSPITAL, ANYHOW

The East Washington Citizens
Association seems to have hit upon
the solution of a difficult problem.
That body calls upon Congress to ap-
point a commission of three to report
on the question Of a location for a
new municipal hospital in Washing
ton.
The situation in respect to this
hospital is almost unique, we VEN
ture, in the history of American
cities. The city needs the hospital.
Tho Commissioners call it the "city's
greatest need" They refer to the
failure Of Congress to provide it as
"heart breaking"
Yet the wrangles about the site
had much to do with blocking the
appropriation for the hospital. In
the face Of this urgent need a con-
troversy arose over placing the. in
stftution which helped to defeat those
who tried to get it. The verdict of
a DISTINGUISHED commission would
go a long way to quieting the OBJ
jections Of opponents of either pro-
posed site. II commission on sites
Is needed to get the hospital, let's
have the commission.

PARK PORTFOLIO

Pictures and Descriptions of Ma

The Department OF the Interior has
Issued a handsome portfolio descrip-
tive of the national parks of the
United States. The publication con-
sists of nine pamphlets, each devoted
to the pictorial and descriptive pre-
sentation OF a separate national park.
There Is also a map which locates
each OF the parks, an introduction by
Franklin X. Lane, Secretary of the
Interior; and presentation by
stephen T. Mather. assistant in charge
OF national parks.
The object OF the portfolio Is to
present a panorama OF the principal
Fairgrounds OF the country to the
people, who, the department thinks,
should awake to the grandeur OF
America.
This is the first comprehensive de-
scription of American scenery ever
published. The booklets are lavishly

fusion of handsome sepia photographs

safe. The call Of the State forces
to Federal service comes at a time
when, regardless Of the ultimate de-
velopments in Mexico, IL will insure
to the national guard a period Of ex-
perience and training Of the great
est value.
Amidst the uncertainties Of the
European wars development, one
thing has been growing clearer every
month. It Is, that after that war
shall have ended and perhaps before,
the United States will be in great
danger of complications with some
foreign power Of the first class. II
Mexico shall provide us with mill
tary lesson, an experience Of actual
building, mobilizing, training, and
using an army, it may prove to have
done US a very important service.
From all parts Of the country
come gratifying reports Of prompt
and enthusiastic enlistments for the
service now demanded. The guard
is certain to be recruited to full war
strength in a very short time; q time
that we may measure by days, or
even by hours. This will be the most
emphatic answer that America could
possibly give to scoffers among the
nations now at war. Let them real
ize that America is, after all, not too
proud to fight; that it is able and
willing to utilize it's potential power
in effective military effort, and there
will be a quick reconsideration Of
any plans or plots looking to the
gathering Of indemnities from this
side the Atlantic, following the Eu-
ropean struggle.
The Washington times., 1916-06-21
THE MORE CHEERFUL SIDE

Let it be remembered that at the
end of the American civil war, when
presumably this country was Eek
hausted," it possessed the finest vet
eran army that had ever been gath
cred under any flag, at least in mod
ern times. During our preoccupa-
ton at home, the Macmillan adven-
ture into Mexico had menaced the
Monroe doctrine. Macmillan, prince
of the House of Austria, had been
set on an insecure Mexican throne.
Our domestic troubles being at an
end, Mr.. Secretary Seward commune
Gated to the European hackers Of
Macmillan that their forces pres
ence in Mexico, sustaining his
regime, could no. longer be permit
ted. There was only one thing to do.
No country on earth wanted, at that
juncture, a disagreement with the
Washington Government. It was
the foremost power, military and
naval, in the world.
So the French and Austrian sup
port of Macmillan was withdrawn,
and the Mexicans did the rest, with
out the necessity of sending the
American forces, which had been
gathered along the Rio Grande,
across that river.
If at that time it had been neces-
sary to invade Mexico, the Mexicans
would have welcomed our troops
with open arms as rescuers. It may
not be quite so obvious to them to-
day, yet the attitude Of this country
is precisely the same as it was then.
Our appearance in Mexico is in the
role of friends, not of conquerorsS of
real friends, anxious to save Mexico
from the horrors of perpetual chaos,
The outcome in Mexico will de-
pend largely on whether the real in
seligence of the country is capable
of understanding this fact.
So far as the United States is con.
cerned, there is a brighter side to
this Mexican affair, which cannot be
overlooked. The new military pro.
gram places large reliance on the
militia of our States; a larger reli'
ance than many people have believed

THE BOOM IN SUGARS

Mr.. Claus A. Spreckels, one Of the
wisest of the country's sugar au-
thorities, declares that there is every
reason to expect that after the war
the demand for American sugar
now very strong, will continue, and
that the sugar refining and market
ing business will not lose the ground
it has gained in the last two years.
He observes that American refiners
are now practically supplying the
entire European demand.
The sugar industry of the world
was upset when the war began. Ger
many had been the greatest producer
Of beet sugar, and was cut off at
once from its market. Russia's sur
plus had also been very important
factor, and it was almost as effec-
lively enlarged. Austria Hungary
had been an exporter; France had
produced considerable part of its
consumption requirements, and was
compelled to reduce its output. Eng
land, long accustomed to getting a
large part of its supply from Ger
many and Russia, suddenly became
a buyer Of raws in Cuba and refined
in this country.
A boom in both production and re-
filming ensued on this side. Louisi-
ana cane had been expected to be
about extinguished by the removal
Of tariff duties. Instead. the higher
prices and new demand saved it. The
beet sugar production has expanded
and it's profits increased. Cuba has
been called upon, along with the in
sular possessions, for larger supplies
than ever. Java, which once sent
immense quantities to American re-
finers and then lost the business be-
cause of our reciprocity treaty
which gave Cuba an important ad-
vantage in our market, was once
more drawn upon for our refiners'
supplies; they in turn sending their
refined product to all the world.
There is every reason to antici-
pate that Mr.. Spreckels' forecast
will be borne out by developments
The beet sugar industry in Germany
will probably be restored very slow
ly, for it has never been strictly a
legitimate business; built up under
export bounties, and sustained by

OUR INADEQUATE NIGHT
SCHOOLS

Much verbal energy has been ex-
pended on the need for making genu-
Inc Americans Of foreign born citi-
zens. Nearly everybody agrees that
the road to Americanism, for the i'm
migrant, lies through education.
Therefore many American cities
have made large expenditures for
night schools.
The National Capital, whence
much of the talk about assimilating
foreigners emanates, has the honor
to stand next to last in a list of
twenty-one leading cities in the per
capita expenditure for night schools.
This year, again, the House has
shown its disregard for the need of
adequate night schools in Washing
ton by Topping off the additional ap-
preparation asked for their mainte-
nance.
There is yet hope for a restoration
Of the item in the Senate. On that
account the statement Of the United
States Bureau of Education, just is
sued, showing the Capitals ridicu-
lous position among cities in it's
night school work is most timely.
So urgent has been the need for
longer night school term, and for
more night schools, that private Or
CARNATIONS have kept open some
night schools here at their own ex-
pense. The money Congress pro-
vides only runs them from October
to March, and permits very limited
course Of study, .-.-------..----

AND cARRANZA MUST DECIDED

President Wilson does not wish
the United States Government to go
to war with the de facto government
Of Mexico. But If Carranza further
refuses to do his duty and strives to
prevent us from doing il for him the
United States Government will 60 to
war with the de facto government of
Mexico.
This is the choice given to Car
rama in Mr.. Wilson's explicit ulti-
matum:
The United States has not sought
the duty which has been forced upon
1t Of pursuing bandits who, under
fundamental principles OF municipal
and international law. ought to be
pursued and arrested and punished
Mexico will assume and effectively
exercise that responsibility. the
United States. as II has many times
before publicly declared. will be glad
to have this obligation fulfilled by
the de facto government of Mexico.
IL. on the contrary. the de facto
government is pleased to ignore this
obligation and to believe that 'in
case OF a refusal to retire these
troops there is no further recourse
than to defend its territory by an
appeal to arms" the Government OF
the United States would surely be
lacking In sincerity and friendship
II II did not frankly impress upon
the de facto government that the ex-
ecution OF this threat will lead to the
gravest consequences: While this
Government would deeply regret such
result. vet n cannot raCada from
It's settled determination to maintain
its national rights and to perform its
full duty In preventing further in
vasions of the territory OF the United

tional boundary have borne so long

What, then, is to be the immediate
outcome? No man on this side OF
the border can say. It rests entirely
and unescapably with Carranza. II
