anything, but why in particular quote
it, as the democrats in Congress are do
ing, on the subject of the Philippiness
Voters heard very little on that subject
in 1912, and no votes were cast for Mr..
Wilson solely because of the Philippine
plank.
Besides, Europe was not at war then,
and no war cloud was on the horizon.
Peace prevailed in Europe, Asia and
Africa, and, of course, in America. But
now the whole world practically is in
commotion. Asia is greatly disturbed,
and Japan and China are at logger
heads. Why, at such a time, should
we promise to throw the Philippines
into the melting pots
Let the matter go over, at least until
the next session. Give the voters
chance in November to express them
selves. Let them say whether or not,
for any reason, we should turn the is
lands over at so early day as that
proposed to the management of those
VIGOROUSLY unprepared to insure a
strong and stable government. The
question would now receive attention
along with other questions, for the
Clarke amendment to the Hitchcock bill
has given the question a new and alarm
ing significance.

Starting the Local Bills.

A good start was made yesterday by
the House on the program of construc-
tive legislation for the District which
has been laid out for this session. Five
bills were passed, all of excellent pur-
pose. The most important of these
were bills to provide for the appoint
ment of the recorder of deeds by the
Commissioners and the register of
wills by the District Supreme Court
rather than by the President and to in
sure that the incumbents of these Of
fees are genuine Washingtonians. The
recommendations of the District commit
tee were followed in these respects.
An admirable spirit prevails in the
House District committee toward the
District at present in manifestation of
a desire to correct imperfections in the
municipal organization and to give the
Capital city a model administration.
Other matters are pending before the
committee, approval of which by the
House is to be hoped in the near future.
It is unfortunate that the Districts
"time" in the House is almost invaria-
bly, taken up on District day with de-
bates on general legislative and politi-
cal topics. The local legislative pro-
gram is long enough to call for every
possible hour that can be given to the
consideration of these measures.
Evening star. [volume] (Washington, D.C.) 1854-1972, 1916-02-15
The Philippines.

= This is taken from a Washington dis
patch to the New York Tribune:
Letters from practically every bust
ness interest in the islands are pouring
In against the Clarke amendment.
Heads of American business houses with
large interests in the islands have been
alarmed by the unsettled conditions
which they know will follow passage of
the bill. Virtually all of them say that,
while they prefer that the islands be
retained permanently by the United
states, they would rather have almost
any kind of provision than that out
lined in the Clarke amendment. Most
of them unite in urging members of the
House to support the old Jones bill,
which was passed by the House last year,
and which contained merely the pre-
arlble providing for independence when
the Filipinos were fitted for it."
One can easily understand this anx-
iety. AS The Star suggested a fortnight
ago, if the Philippine bill with the
Clarke amendment becomes law, busi-
ness interests in the islands will neces-
sarily suffer. Capital already there win
hesitate about future operations, and
no new capital will enter. While the
American authority prevails, security
exists, and is felt. But arrangements
Tor its early termination, which win
make the future of the islands very un-
certain and encourage grave apprehen.
sions, cannot but have paralyzing eff.
feet on investors of large means.
A reader of the Tribune writes thus
10 the paper from Connecticut:
= why not refer the Philippines cues.
ton to the peoples II seems to me that
a question that affects the whole people
: should go to the people Have them
: vote on it. Those people in Office nov
in Washington should not have all the
say about it. No one today knows the
: value of the Philippines to the United
States, and it looks to me like lot OF
servants selling off or giving away the
masters property without the master.

The German Advance.

A German offensive of tremendous en-
ergy is under way on the western fight
ing front of Europe, with thus far sue
cessful results in several places. Furious
assaults have been made upon the Eng
lish and French lines, particularly the
latter, following the usual course of pre-
liminary artillery fire with subsequent
infantry charges into the shattered
trenches. Sometimes the French and
English have made counter attacks that
have been successful, but more often
the Germans have held the ground they
have gained, and the net result of the
movement appears to have been the ad-
vancement Of the Teuton lines along a
considerable front, though perhaps not
to a great depth.
Whether the purpose of this maneuver
has been to press the allied front back
generally for moral effect upon the army
and the home populace, or to seek q
weak point through which a penetra-
ton can be made is not clear. It is
known that the main German desire in
the west is to reach the channel, and
to accomplish that doubtless the kaiser
would be willing to sacrifice large mum.
bers. These attacks, however, have been
chiefly delivered at points far removed
from the front that holds the Germans
back from the sea. This would give color
TO- the suggestion that the purpose is to

American and German Submarines.

Rear Admiral Grants testimony yes
terday before the House naval commit
tee is calculated to give pause to those
who, without knowing the facts, are in
clined to regard the American navy as
equal to anything afloat. In the mat
ter of submarines, he said, the United
States is at present far outclassed by
the Germans, three of the latest 'U"
type of German undersea boats being as
effective as twenty-five of our OK"
boats, the three Germans costing $780,
600 and the twenty-five Americans &c.
100000. In this matter the work of the
German submarines is not speculative,
but is known with fair certainty. They
have been accomplishing results along
the English coast for many months, and
their activities have been susceptible of
analysis in manner to make possible
a comparison. The general difference
between the two types Of boats appears
to be that the American craft are too
small for distant cruising work.
In the event of war with a foreign
power, the latter attacking this country
with an expeditionary force thrown
across the sea, the American subma-
rines would need to be capable of eff
fective work far from base. They would
perhaps be conveyed by a fleet of larger

would be called upon for cruising from
those floating bases. The function of
such craft would be to destroy, if pos
sible, members of the enemy's fleet be-
fore coming into battle contact with the
American defense line, or to destroy
transports following the battle fleet.
Such work would demand much greater
cruising capacity than the American
submarines Of today possess. just such
done in the past year by the German
submarines.
Rear Admiral Grants statement put
the matter in striking form. Three
German boats are as effective as TWEEN
ty-two American boats, costing four
times as much In other words, the
building of the smaller, cheaper craft
is the worst sort of economy. 1t is bet
ter to spend approximately ss35,OO0 on
one boat than $450, 900 on one. Ten mil
lion dollars spent at the German ratio
would give twelve undersea boats of
great power and capacity, equal to
eighty eight boats of the present Amer
lean type costing the same amount of
money, if Rear Admiral Grants for
mula holds out in extension.
Obviously grave mistake will be
made if in framing the national defense
program heed is not given to the dem
onstrations of this war. and to the end
that the fullest advantage may be taken
Of the object lessons afforded by the
struggle the recommendations of the
officers of the army and navv should be
given most serious weight by the 1aymen
legislators.

Mr.. Wilson's Announcement.

Mr.. Wilson is now an announced can
didate for q second term. Save in one
particular, the announcement, however,
makes no change in the situation.
Everything has pointed to his candi-
dacy since he entered the White House,
and nearly everybody, regardless of
party, has assumed it.
The one particular relates to Mr..
Bryan. It may be possible now to draw
from him some expression as to the real
meaning Of the one-term plank of the
Baltimore platform, and Mr.. Wilson's
disregard Of It.
Some time last year, at Atlanta in an
interview, Mr.. Bryan was approached
on the subject, but excused himself. He
might, he said, have something to say
later.
This was construed to mean that as
vet Mr.. Bryan felt he had nothing to
go upon but popular speculation and
the activity of Mr.. Wilson's acknowl-
edged ieutenants; that not until Mr..
Wilson himself had spoken would he,
Bryan, formally express himself. That
time has come; and if Mr.. Bryan knows
any good reason why Mr.. Wilson should
not make the second race for President
he should speak, or forever after hold
his peace.
What can he say? A fair reading of
the plank does not bar Mr.. Wilson; and
surely Mr.. Bryan will not admit, even
if it be true, that the plank had such in
.tention. Such an admission would be
construed as a confession that he had
another candidacy for himself in view,
and for that reason sought to limit Mr..
Wilson to one.
il. Now nothing is palmer than that if,
for any reason, Mr.. Wilson fails at St.
Louis, Mr.. Bryan will not be the man
to win. His nomination in the circum-
stances would wreck the democratic
party for the campaign. Even the lower
southern states, which appear impregna-
BILE, might be put in peril.
20 There is but one man in the party
who, as the successor Of Mr.. Wilson in
the leadership, would make fast race
Of it; and he as the candidate would
labor under the disadvantage of his e1-
pressed opinion that any other candi-
dacy but that Of Mr.. Wilson this year
would be confession of party failure.
Mr.. Clark is, far and away, the most
popular democrat in the country today,
and deserves his popularity; but even
he could not lead to victory a party
torn with such factionalism as would
be shown by the reputation of Mr..
Wilson at st. Lonis
For better for worse, for richer for
poorer, Mr.. Wilson and the democratic
party are united, and only the people
at the polls in November can put them
, aslnder. 1t is unnecessary to add that
Mr.. Wilson and his friends are very
much opposed to divorce.
