The Star on the Shaft.

Downtown Washington is now enjoy
ing its semi-annual spectacle of dia.
mond-tipped Monument. Twice a year
this phenomenon is manifest as the
suns rays attain the proper angle to
give brilliant reflection from the pol
ished aluminium tip ON tho capstone of
the shaft. In early spring and early
fall this reflection shines over the cen
trail part Of the city, most beautiful
manifestation of nature. 1t is sur
prising sight to those who do not know
that the apex Of the great obelisk is a
solid block of non-corrosive metal
which, when it was prepared for this
purpose, was regarded with wonder
Those who chose aluminium for the
Monuments peak perhaps did not real
ize that it would always yield the
thrilling spectacle that semi-annually
presents itself.

The Crisis at Verdun.

During tho many months that the
trench warfare in western Europe con-
tinued without any material break in
the lines, it was frequently asserted by
military experts that a general advance
by one side or the other was practically
impossible, that under the conditions it
would be too costly to be undertaken
The Germans have now undertaken such
an advance against perhaps the strong
est part of the French line, for in ad-
dition to the ordinary trench defenses
there are at Verdun heavy Notifications
forming part Of the circle Of large gun
emplacements surrounding that city.
There is no doubt Of the German ad-
vance. It has, up to the latest bulle.
tins, gained five or six miles from the
points held for SO many months. With
Verdun as an object the German COM
manders have thrown their men into
the assault with practically no heed for
losses. French estimates Of the German
casualties range from 100000 to 10000
men. At the lower figure this is a
frightful percentage Of the total number
engaged, estimated at 100000. But it is
not assured that the French lines viii

word that the premier has announced

ing in so important particular on
what he considered a false basis?
There is no expectation that Mr.
Bryan will bolt the action at st. Louis

ford to incur their application to him.
self. He was severely tried at ST. Louis
twelve years ago. Judge Parker's nomi-
nation was very displeasing to him
and when the candidate gave the finan-
cial plank of the platform a gold in
depreciation, and by doing SO won the
applause of Wall street, Mr.. Bryan felt
outraged. Still, he stood the test. He
remained on the reservation, and was
a good Indian.
But his part in the campaign was not
brilliantly performed His speeches
were thought to lack fire. At any rate
they made no votes. He seemed to be
discharging a duty, unpleasant, but
binding. And his acceptance of the re-
suit at the polls has been considered
and catalogued as probably the best
specimen of resignation our politics has
to show. There was not the faintest
suggestion of a kick by him in either
word or gesture.

the turning Of the tide at verdun. If
Verdun is not taken Germany will have
suffered tremendous blow, not only in
prestige at home, but in actual losses
which cannot be repaired. In these cir
cumstances it is likely that the German
commanders will throw every available
man into the assault rather than retreat.
1t is not enough to hold the gains that
have been made. Such gains can always
be effected if the sacrifice is great
enough. If they do not bring the
achievement of a definite object or a
great improvement in the military posi-
ton they spell defeat rather than vic
tory, and If they do break the French
resistance and actually penetrate the
line of defence, at whatever cost,
France will be in the gravest peril. The
next few days may decide much more
than the fate of Verdun.

The Presidency.

Why do men seek the presidency
Why do they seek "the bubble reputa-
ton, even at the lannon's mouth"s Some
of the noblest of men have sought, and
obtained, both.
Mr.. Wilson says that "a man who
seeks the presidency of the United
States for anything that it will bring
to him is an audacious fool" Did any
man ever seek it unmoved by some con-
sideration personal to himselfs The
office is the strongest lure in American
life, and audacity is one of the strong
est qualities men possess.
Mr.. Wilson is having an unusual and
very trying experience in the White
House. Whatever actuated him in seek
ing the presidency, he has found the
office heavier than expected. He had in
mind at the time only domestic prob
lens; and he had studied them. He
felt himself entirely competent to deal
with them.
But the war came, as flash out of a
clear sky; and since then he has been
sorely beset by questions new and
strange and exceedingly difficult. They
are still pressing, and may continue SO
for some time.
But he has no desire to lay his bur-
den down. On the contrary, he is fgur-
ing on carrying it four years longer.
He hopes it will be imposed upon him
for that much additional time.
And then look on the republican side.
A number of able men, all familiar with
public life, and observers at close hand
of White House life, are seeking the
presidency. All are aware of the bur-
den Mr.. Wilson is carrying. But each
is DESTROYS of relieving him of the load.
Each feels that the Office, if he can OBJ
tain it, will bring something to him.
Mr.. Wilson puts the matter on too
cold and impersonal basis. All the
motives of men are mixed. Self shakes
every balance, and for that reason it is
difficult to adjust a balance.
If Mr.. Wilson succeeds in obtaining
second term, the presidency will have
brought to him very great deal. His
name will be written, where he intensely
desires it shall appear-among those
who have achieved Endorsement at the
polls for services in the country's high
est Office. As a writer his place is high
and secure. As teacher he ranks with
the most distinguished. But above all
that he puts his ambition as states
man, and is now girding for an effort
to take a place among the two-term
Presidents.
Neither the soldier, the statesman
nor the orator gets very far without
audacity. And bit of selfshness is
not a drawback.

The Tendency" Argument.

The fallacy of Representative Bor-
lands argument, in defense of his action
in adding the eight-hour provision to the
legislative appropriation bill, that the
tendency is toward the establishment of
eight hours as the normal and standard
day of work, lies in the fact that this
tendency has been exerted to bring the
working hours down from higher point
rather than up from lower. 1t does
not follow that because for some years
organized labor has been struggling,
with large measure of success, to re-
duce the working hours of the trades
to eight the government should now
bring its working day-for the depart
ment clerks alone-up to that point re-
gardless of conditions.
1t has been pointed out, since this
question was precipitated through the
abrupt action of the House committee,
that many government clerks work more
than eight hours on an average during
the day. If the effort in the House COM
mittee was to equalize the departmental
hours why should not the tendency in
the labor world, which Mr.. Borland
cites, have been observed rather than
a specific limitation which has been set
in that world! If equalization were the
object justice would command that in
stead of placing a minimum on the
clerks day the law place a maximum,
and not one that would permit the over
working of any clerk save in great
emergency. It is perfectly obvious that
if this minimum law is enacted there
will still remain inequalities and after
the readjustment that follows many
clerks will be kept at their tasks even
beyond the eight hours, as Office condi-
tons vary.
1t is impossible to avoid the conclu-
sion that the purpose of this PROPOSE
ton is not merely to apply to govern
ment service the tendency" in the
working world toward an eight-hour
working day, but to get more work
out of the government clerks for the
same pay. Representative Borland him
self has urged that it would save the
government between 100000 and a.
100000 year. How will it save that
amount? Plainly, if the purpose of the
proposer is carried through ultimately,
by reducing the force. This is the only
conclusion, unless the government work
is at present falling behind and it is
necessary to work longer hours to keep
up with it. But in any case if this pend
ing proposal goes through as it stands
the United States will demonstrate it.
self the only employer exacting more
work for the same pay. No member of
Congress should be willing to stand
sponsor for such a proposition and un-
dertake to defend it before the working
world.

A Referendum on Preparedness.

At 4 rIass meeting held in Buffalo
Saturday night in response to call Of
the mayor preparedness was the topic.
Gov. Whitman was the principal speaker,
and expressed the opinion that moth.
ing of q decisive and fundamental ma
ture could be expected of the present
Congress" Continuing, he said:
"The thought Of the American people,
as a matter of fact, is clearer on pre-
paredness than the apparent thought Of
Congress, and it is not until our rep
resentatives return to their constitu-
ents and meet them at the polls that the
present situation will be Strengthened
out"
This is also the thought and desire of
Mr.. Bryan. He wants to take the ques-
ton, first into the St. Louis convention,
and then into the campaign. If Con-
gress does nothing at this session as to
preparedness, considered as policy sug-
gested by the European war, Mr.. Bryan
will have his opportunity. He will 60
