SCHOOL FOR TUBERcULAR
PUPILS

Washington needs special school
to take care Of the sixty or more
children Of school age who are ex-
eluded from attending school because
they have tuberculosis.
II Washington is 10 have such a
school at all, II should be a model
one Of It's kind. These children
should not only be taught the usual
school courses; they should be
taught how to live. The school
should be made a factor in their re-
covery.
No appropriation Is now available
for feeding. clothing and transport
ing the children Of such q school.
It Is not likely that Congress will
give outright funds enough for this
purpose unless the utility Of school
for tubercular children rs demon
strated.
The Capital got appropriations for
Fairgrounds and for many other in
stiSltions by raising private con-
tributions to demonstrate what was
needed. That is likely to be the his
tory of tubercular schools in Wash
ington. Citizens Of the Capital may
have a chance to contribute to this
cause, which will be perpetuated and
developed by public appropriations

NEARER A MEXICAN SETTLE
MENT

The Administration is examining
the agreement between the Ameri-
can and Mexican commissioners,
concerning future relations between
the two countries, II will presum-
ably De Endorsed by the Washing
ton Administration. The attitude of
Mexico will be the attitude Of Car
rama, and that is one of the matters
that nobody can conjecture. His
commissioners did not get all the
concessions they demanded; but II is
still possible that the obstinate first
chief may recognize on which side
of his bread is the butter.
Mexico's chance of rehabilitation
seems to lie entirely in its relations
with the United States. There ID
no reservoir of cash or credit from
which the Carranza or any other
regime may draw, unless it be here
and surely the United States will
not consent to finance a government
on the other side of the Rio Grande
that is not bound to the protection
of American citizens and property
there.
Carranza has come to the crisis OF
his career. II he is, after all, big
and broad enough to recognize the
absolute necessities of his situation
he may save himself. Vastly NOR,
important, he may find the way t,
bring his country out of it's troubles
and to restore peace.

INTERNAL POLITICS IN GER
MANY AND RUSSIA

Changes in the governments Of
both Russia and Germany Indicate a
larger recognition that the people
must be kept ut the back Of the gov
eminent In a time when demand is
made upon the strength and the 10y
atty Of the whole nation. The Rus
sian Duma has achieved a larger i'm
portance thsp ever before. II the
principle Of administration respon-
sibility to the legislature has not
been definitely established, It isNyet
true that there has been a reccgni-
ton o. the Dumas right to have adj
ministration in the hands Of people
who can command the confidence Of
the peoples representatives.
In Germany, the retirement Of Won
Jagow from the foreign secretary
ship is significant Of a purpose to
yield to popular sentiment. Won
Jagow was not altogether fortunate
In his handling Of some delicate
questions which, at the wars begin
ming, involved the worlds public
opinion regarding Gcrmany's pro-
ceedings. A gentleman and scholar,
Won Jagow did not possess the at
tributes Of popularity. A poor
speaker in public, and possessed Of
no liking for the commoner things OF
mere politics, he did not command
enthusiasm for the program which
was attributed 10 his department
Perhaps another man would have
made no better case for Germany. I,
ives not an easy case to make out
At any rate, the German people
have been uneasy over the fact that
the world declines to view their
cause as they assume an intelligent
world ought to view IL; and they nat.
urally have blamed Won Jagow.
DR.. Zimmerman, the new foreign
secretary, is q liberal. He has nance
as his under secretary DR.. vor
Stumm, who formerly was head Of
the American division. The selection
suggests that American relations ar,
expected to be increasingly import
ant in the future.
Germany and Russif are the leas
democratic. in their governmental
forms. Of the warning nations. Ever
Austria has been much more respon
sive to popular sentiment; its yer,
existence necessitsted some measur'
Of recognition Of popular sentiment
The fact that at both Berlin ant
Petrograd concessions are beini
granted to the national feeling
makes il plain that a new and NOR
democratic era Is at hand. Tn
coming Of peace will not bring Al
end to this epoch. II is rs certain n

cratic tendencies inaugurated nov

To THE EDITOR OF THE SUN--Sir. What
do the lovers OF sweet potatoes care
about dioscorca. convolvulacee. &c?
Only one kind do they know: the sweet
potato in the pot.
We can easily compare the white
potato to bread. But the sweet potato
is to the kitchen what the cake Ia to the
bakery. The ordinary potato is more
manly. perhaps. but the other. oh ! how
feminine. how sweet Some persons
are averse to eating sweet potatoes with
their meat, having a notion that the
two do not blend together.
