THE OTTAWA HOLOCAUST

The horror of the Ottawa confla-
grafton which destroyed the beau
tiful Parliament building of the Do
minion of Canada is the greater be-
cause of the suspicion that the fire
was of incendiary origin. Whether
with or without warrant, the story
goes abroad that it is believed to
have been caused by the machina-
tions of enemies of British people
and institutions. The worlds mini
has become so accustomed to such
outrages that such suspicious seem
inevitable.
1t is the most unspcakable incl
dent of this war, that all mankind
thus frankly assumes that every
canon of decency and civilization
and Christianity has been brushed
aside in order to give full play TO
ruthless barbarism. Frightfulness
is the new rule of conflict; the de-
termination to make war so uni
versal and so horrible, to carry it
right to the doorstep Of all human
ity, so that none may be sure of
escape. Whether it's aim is direct
ed against the industry of neutrals,
the noncombatants of belhgerents.
or the armed forces fighting in the
field, savagery raised to the nth
degree is the mode. Whether its
instrument be asphyxiating gas, the
treacherous submarine or the heav-
en-searching Zeppelin, the ever
present directing purpose is to ter
rorize humanity into submission.
Perhaps the Ottawa Parliament
house was not destroyed as result
of a war plot in incendiarism. That
is not so important as that men
are ready to believe it. might have
been; to recognize that such a per-
formance would have been approved
and applauded by the apostles Of
diaboism who have made this war
the crown of inhuman horror.

President Wilson is the command

which the Federal Government has
direct connection and over which it
exercises complete control. Just so
far as the influence of this command
ership by the President and control
by the Federal Government can be
of benefit, its effects have hereto

and it is actually one Of the most eff

tainly seems to be up to Congress to
provide one, and up to every citizen
of the District to help Congress see
the reasons for one.

TnR REDUCED FIRE WASTE

The past five years have seen a
great awakening of the American
people on the subject of fire waste.
Through press and schools, through
State insurance officials and State
fire marshals, the people have been
informed as never before on this
subject. 1t is gratifying to see
tangible results of this campaign.
The fire loss of the United States
roughly speaking averages $685.
100000 per annum. In exceptional
years this loss and waste is $1,000
900 per day, terrible drain on
the resources of even so rich a ma
tion as the United States
Superintendent of Insurance Mes
bit has called attention to figures
just compiled for 1915 showing that
the years fire loss was lower than in
any preceding year for a decade.
The loss for 1914 reached 1885,
591, 800. The loss for 1915 was $182,-
S36, 200, or $52,755, 100 less than the
year before.
How far this improvement is to
go, and how far it can go, is shown
by the fact that in six European
countries the per capita fire loss is
80 cents; while IN the United States il
runs close to $3.50. Fully 80 pes
cent Of all the fire losses in this
country are preventable. Careful in
vestgations made by the different
State officials and commissions indi-
cate that at least 80 per cent of the
fires are due primarily to careless
ness in their origin.
Washington has for years shown
a comparatively low fire loss, which
simply illustrates how much infu-
ence wide streets and restrictive
building regulations operate to cut
down the. fire loss. ..-.-. ...
The $52,OOO,OoO thus saved this
past year by the American people is
just that much added to the tota
wealth of the country over that Of
the year before.

OUR, INTERNATIONAL STATUS

President Wilson, trying to- get
Congress and the country to agree
with him on preparedness, is in the
position of a juggler essaying to
keep two balls in the air all the
time. He got the Congress ball
seemingly under control, and then
turned attention to the public opin-
ion ball. While he has been strug-
Cling with it, the Congress ball has
escaped his control. The anti-pre-
paredness forces in Congress have
been ripping to pieces the program
of fiscal measures that must be cor
related with any scheme of prepared
ness expenditure. 1t isn't going to
be possible to spend money on prep
aration unless that money shall be
raised, either by some form of tax
alton or from the sale of securities.
Congress manifests a most inhos-
pitable disposition toward all the
projects that look toward producing
adequate means.
Perhaps it was good business to
tell st. Louis audience that this
country needs the biggest navy in
the world; perhaps, in a German
community, it sounded like the sug-
gestion that preparedness is to be
| aimed just as much against Great
Britain as against any other coun-
try. But there will be misgivings.
Not very many people, it is ventured,
will be willing to believe that there
is any exigency demanding naval
preparation on such a scale. The eff
fort to get pro-German support by
threatening Great Britain, and pro-
ally support by shaking fists under
Berlin's nose, looks a bit too much
like playing both ends A foreign
policy that, in such a juncture as the
present, has accomplished so little
toward stabilizing our place in the
world as to make it necessary for
this country to get ready to fight
both sides in the world war, is not
to be regarded very highly.
There has been a year and half
of the war, during all of which time
our foreign Office has been busy try
ing to shake down the chaos of our
foreign relations into some definite
understanding of our place in the
world. 1t is of commonest knowl7
edge that both sides in the great
conflict have most solicitously
sought our approval, provided it
could be had without sacrificing any,
thing of what they conceived 10 be
their interests. 1t is not very
gratifying to learn now that we have
gained so little confidence in our in.
ternational status that it is impos.
sible even to know with which side
our relations are the most reassur.
ling.

FILIPINO INDEPHNDENcE---IF

There is no need for acute worry
about the awful thing that menaces
the Filipino people in the proposal
to cast them adrift in a war-torn
world to shift for themselves. 1t
would be sad to think of them shunt-
ed off from our care and RESPONSE
bility, to be victims.of German greed
or Japanese rapacity-if they had
been shunted. They haven't been.
BY the casting vote of the Vice
President, the bill to pave the way
for Filipino independence has passed
the Senate; perhaps it will pass the
House. But the bill, after all, con-
sists mostly of a very large if. 1t
represents the effort to do something
in the direction Of carrying out the
Democratic party's platform pledge
of freedom to the islands. 1t is
merely a promise that if Congress
doesn't change it's mind, and if the
President doesn't decide to extend
the time, then the islands shall be
turned loose. There is plenty of
time and discretion to make the
promise amply meaningless.
1t was necessary to make effort
toward carrying into effect some
thing promised by the Baltimore
platform. The party's reversal of
itself on the single Presidential
term proposition, on canal tolls, on
regulation of securities issues, on
various other things, made it desir-
able to go through the motions of
doing something that was promised
some where in the platform. So the
Observation-Disclosures for the
little brown brothers is passed in
such form that it can mean what
ever anybody wants it to mean.
Incidentally, it is recalled that this
bill passed the Senate precisely as
did the one under which we acquired
sovereignty of the islands-by the
casting vote of the Vice President.

cHNrRAL,s PAGEANT

1t was the loyalty Of Central High
Schools. alumni, and their willing
ness to work for their school, that
made possible the building Of the
new Central High School, now near
ing completion, which will be one u
the most completely equipped and
modern high school plants in this
country.
That elusive quality, "Central
spirit" of which one hears so>much
around the school, has not been de-
pendent upon a building. For years
the school has maintained its pres
tige, not only in scholastic stand
ing, but in athletics, in drill, and in
all forms of competition, while it was
housed in the barn-like, dreary old
building on o street, which is en-
deared to the heart of every Cen
traiite.
That Central pupils and gradu-
ates should seek to express this
Central spirit" in the form Of a
pageant, which shall visualize and
symbolic every phase of the event
full and creditable history Of the
school is not surprising. The art of
pageantry has been resorted to by
colleges to depict their history.
Aside from any tribute to Central
a.pageant of this sort is an artistic
contribution for which the COM
munity should be grateful. The plans
for the affair, and the personnel of
those backing it, indicate that it will
be notable presentation, and Gen.
tral will find other high schools, and
the entire community, rejoicing with
her when she stages the celebration
upon entry into her new building.
