Congress Urged to Surrender.

The German propaganda is at work full force
again, this time with the definite and uncon-
ccaled object of alternating Congress support of
the President and transferring it to the Kaiser,
Of making Reichstag of Congress and thus pre-
pairing the way for note from Berlin that will
not acceed to the Presidents demand for a
change in the method of submarine warfare on
penalty of a severance Of diplomatic relations
The tens Of thousands Of kilograms addressed
TO members of Congress, urging them not to
consent to war with Germany or even to the
suspension of friendly relations do not represent
American sentiment. Their authors are either
persons more loyal to Germany than to the
United States or those who have been persuaded
or coerced by German propagandists to urge upon
Senators and Representatives policy that will
permit Germany to continue her present inhu-
man methods of warfare upon helpless noncom-
batants OF all nations without fear of damaging
consequences. The President having called for an
end to piracy on the high seas representatives of
the guilty nations seeking to array Congress
against him in the hope of nullifying his action,
IN order that piracy may continue Every mem
Der of Congress receiving one of these telegrams
should regard it as deliberate insult and answer
It IN appropriate terms, if he can discover the
name and address of the sender 1t is incon-
ceivabe that any number of Congressman will
OC IHlluenCed by appeals OF such unmiStakable
origin. They should in fact have the opposite
effect, bringing a keener realization of the duty
OF giving the President loyal and steadfast sup
port.
A breach between the President and Congress
at such time and upon such an issue is as
unth1nkable as that the President should be
placed IN position requiring him to consider for
moment the abandonment of his intention
solemnly announced to Germany. He has full
authority to present Ambassador Won Bernstorf
with his passports, as President Mckinley did in
the case OF Minister de LONE, and vastly greater
provocatlon, even aside from the submarine con-
troversy President Wilson has said to Germany
that unless the imperial government should now
Immediately declare and effect an abandonment
OF its present methods of submarine warfare
against passenger and freight-carrying vessels
the government of the United States can have
no choice but to sever diplomatic relations with
the German empire altogether" There can be
no recession; if our standing as a nation is NOT
to be sacrificed those words must be made pood
and in making them good the President must
have the whole support of Congress There will
be no war of this nations making; yet if Ger
many sees cause for war in our Presidents de-
mand that murder on the high seas shall cease
the United States will have to 60 to war. and
kilograms to members of Congress urging COM
plete and abject surrender will not prevent it

The leaders Of Congress perceived
plainly enough the movement Of opinion
out-of-dOoTs, saw the service of the gov
ernment steadily sinking to a lower level
Of efficiency. knew what influences we're
at work to debase it and what con-
demnation must come upon them should
the use made of the patronage come
fully to light
On the Sd OF March. 1871, accordingly,
they put through Congress an Act which
authorized the President to frame and
administer, through a commission, such
rules as he thought best for the regula-
ton of admissions to the civil service.
The President accepted the Act with
cordial approval. with an obvious sense
of relief, indeed; and with complete in
difference to the distress Of the poll
ticians proceeded to establish and enforce
a system of competitive examinations for
office.
But the politicians were stronger in
Congress than the President, and after
two years of painful exclusion from the
use of the patronage induced the houses
to withhold the appropriation necessary
for the administration of the Presidents
new system of appointment.
They had not yet learned how hard
master public opinion was to be in that
matter
Possibly the mere decentralization OF the
civil service would not by itself have
brought upon them the bitter discipline
Of defeat which they presently under
went Other things went along with It
which stirred the country more deeply;
which made Congress itself seem corrupt
and the party which controlled It with
out a watChful sense of honor.

Harvard at the Front.

The published list of 2o7 Harvard men tax
ing part in the European war came as a great
surprise to most persons. Moreover, the Har-
ward Alumni Bulletin" which compiled the list
from all available sotrces, recognizes that the
list is far from complete, both in its number Of
names and in the record of the men. Twelve
OF the number have given their lives-perhaps
more than twelve
The list is suggestive Of many things Very
few OF those 297 Harvard men were under any
oblgations-as obligations are viewed by the
world at large-to undergo the hardships and to
make the sacrifices and even the offer of their
lives that their service has involved. But
to them the call to duty was no less compelling
because it came from over the sea- and they
answered-to the credit of the university and
country. That list of names and the longer
list when it is completed, will be one of the
proud heritages of the Harvard of the fu-
ture.
And be it remembered that from Yale and
Princeton and scores of other colleges and uni
versities. other hundreds have gone to fight for
the right they it to serve the common
cause of humanity. The total number must run
well into the thousands and to those thousands
OF college added the many thousands
Of other Americans who have gone to the front
