The German Fleet.

Reports regarding the German fleet
indicate that after an cmergence from
Kici in great force it has put back TO
base, The trawlcrs that brought word
OF the presence of the ships in the
North sea indicated great armada of
all classes Of vessels, accompanied by
Zeppelins. This may have been merely
a practice cruise, SO to speak, to test
the efficiency of new formation with
aerial scouts, or it may have been a
genuine bid for battle. Whether the
English are indisposed 10 accept the
gage or were not in position to strike
before the Germans returned to Kiel
cannot be known. A year ago appear
anee of large German naval force in
the North sea would probably have been
signal for immediate encounter. But
since the submarine activity of the Ger
mans began the British fleet has held

other question, to be thoughtfully borne
in mind by the legislators when this
matter is reached. According to the
original Borland rider, which is appar-
entity recognized by its author as subject
TO point of order, the extension of
hours applies only to government work
crs in the District of Columbia. Why
not to all, Why does Mr.. Borland make
fish Of the Washington government en-
pfoyes and flesh of those who work in
the states? Is it because those who
work in the states have a direct voting
influence Is the seven hour day all
right for the states and all wrong for
Washington Is the work harder in the
states than it is here?
If by an amendment the rider is
lative bill an opportunity will be given
the House to vote directly upon the
merits of the question. Mr.. Borland is
reported to he guarding his new amend
ment jealousy from the eyes of oppo-
nents of the plan to get more work out
of the clerks in Washington for the same
pay. But there is no occasion for those
who stand for justice to the clerks and
who repudiate the idea that Uncle Sam
should, alone of all American employers,
lengthen the working day without rails
ing the pay, to be caught unawares by
any legislative device. They should be
and doubtless will be watchfully on
guard to prevent this inequity by de-
cisire vote that will discourage any
further attempts at such needless and
harmful parsimony.

The Guard at Columbus.

Doubtless the War Department will
sooner or later endeavor to learn why
it was possible for Villa and his men
to get into Columbus, n. NJ, without
arousing military guard stationed at
that place for the very purpose Of pre-
venting such an incursion The attack
was made in the early morning, about
o'clock. and judging from present re
ports the troops were taken unawares.
If any scntries were stationed on the
outskirts of the town they were either
oyerpowered or were inattentive. 1t
seems that the bandits made their en-
trance through deep ditch that runs
past the military post, and if an all
night guard had been maintained surely
some signal might have been given be-
fore the invaders reached the heart of
the town and began their burning and
killing. Columbus is about three miles
from the border, and there is plenty of
room for outposts. 1t is one of the
first principles of military work to guard
against surprise. The necessity for Sc
curity and information is cardinal
principle of the soldiers training, and
seemingly this principle was forgotten
at Columbus. If there was neglect or
carelessness at the military post there
the fact does not, of course, in any way
eondone the offense committed, but
eventually this matter must be investi-
gated to ascertain whether the disaster
was greater than it needed to have been.

Wanted-A Hero.

This is Mr.. Roosevelt's latest an
nouncement:
Il will not enter into any fight for the
nomination, and l will not permit any
factional fight to be made in my behalf.
Indeed, [ will go further, and say
that it would be a mistake to nominate
me unless the country has in its mood
something of the heroic, unless it feels
not only like devoting itself to ideals,
but to the purpose measurably to real
ize those ideals in action"
Modest Let us call it characteristic.
you want to do something heroic, and
you need hero to lead you. The hero.
Behold him!" Which is twentieth
century rendering of the famous pro-
nunciamento of the French king, "The
statee 1t is II"
Undoubtedly Mr.. Roosevelt believes
this. And why not? The men who sur
round him do. They can see nothing
else to the situation. In their opinion,
it is Roosevelt or chaos. In the demo
cratic party they observe nothing but
failure; in the republican party moth
ing but incapaeity. Why choose be-
tween the two? Why not reject bothl
Why not call to power the new party
led by popular favorite and headed
for new goal?
Hearing this sentiment so often from
those near and dear to him, and want
ing to believe it, what more natural than
for Mr.. Roosevelt to stand for it over
his own signatures
The country is in the mood for some
thing heroic, but for nothing seriocomic
1t wants to strengthen itself in every
way against any and every emergency
the startling world conditions suggest
1t needs an adequate national defense.
1t should have a new tariff law. An
American merchant marine is absolutely
essential to the realization of the ma
tional plan for much larger foreign
trade. But this can be accomplished
without buster, or .attitudinizing, or
putting chip on Uncle Sans, shoulder.
There is heroism in quiet advance
ment to great end.
Mr.. Roosevelt has no tariff record.
If he has ever had plan for an Ameri
can merchant marine the country has
never been advised OF it. As for a
larger army and navy, he is not in adj
vance of the republican leaders, and is
no more an authority than any one of
a dozen who can be mentioned and yet
are asking no special consideration on
that score His service in the Navy De
partment covered less than year, and
IN the army only few months. Should
We listen to him with bated breath on
the details of preparedness! Welcome
as his support is, it does not, considered
singly, entitle him to leadership
Much as he and his supporters think
so, he is not the indispensable man at
this time. We have not yet reached
the Indispensable stage. And if we ever
do reach it. we shall not call the man
President, but by some title confessing
popular government failure.

are presumably maintained all along the
approaches to the German harbors, and
if the kaiser's fleet actually left kiel
the word was doubtless sent speedily to
England. 1t would be most important
to know whether an effort was made to
accept this challenge to a fight. Evi-
IDENTIFY the British censor has kept close
watch over the dispatches, for at least
one of the bulletins was delayed two
days in London. The prospect for a
great North sea engagement, which has
been one of the standing expectations
for the past year and half, has seem
ingly vanished for the present.

The Columbus Outrage.

Yesterdays massacre at Columbus,
cans, civilians and soldiers, we're slain
in surprise attack by Mexican bandits,
brings to crisis situation which has
long been endured with exceptional
patience by this government. Two
months ago seventeen Americans we're
slaughtered by Mexican bandits at Santa
Ysabel, and representations were made
by the United States to the recognized
government in Mexico. but without prac
teal effect. That case, however, was
different from the present. The Amcri-
cans were then going into disturbed
country without any specific guarantees
of safety. Those who were slain at Co.
lumbus were residing peacefully in
their own country, and the attack upon
them was no less than an act of war.
The situation which this outrage pre-
cipitates is admittedly difficult for the
administration. It has granted recogni
ton to Carranza as the head of the
Mexican government, and ordinarily to
him it would look for the prompt pun
shment of the raiders. But Carranza
has for some time been trying, with
band, and can be expected now to do
nothing more than send an expedition
which would have no better luck than
any that have preceded in the campaign
of pacifeation. Thus to rely upon Car
rama to catch and punish the bandits
would be to encourage them to repeat
their outrages upon Americans, both in
Mexico and in American territory.
For the promptness with which Amer
can troops were sent into Mexico in
pursuit of the brigands there is moth
ing but praise, irregular though the pro-
ceeding may have been technically. For
any action by this government in un-
dertaking the capture and punishment
Of this band of outlaws. stained with
the blood of innocent Americans, there
will be universal approval. There: is no
desire for war with Mexico. But such

hat Villa is understood to be playing

that perhaps his desperate raid at Co.
lumbus was designed to precipitate this
very action. To abstain from defensive
4ggression now would be an invitation

side of the line. 1t is impossible to
maintain a Gordon of troops along the
boundary strong enough to prevent sud
