A Jarring Note.

What prompted Lord I.ansdowne to write his
sationaI letter to the London Telegraph regarding
aims probably will not be made known until the
allied political clouds have entirely cleared.
peace by understanding" or peace by negota-
ton heretofore has been exclusively German and
tra property There is little opposition to the postu
late that the future peace of the world will depend
upon taking back Germany into the family of nations
upon rejecting all imperialist demands for punitive
peace settlement and upon refusing to sow the seeds
of future by keeping alive the doctrine of hate
Academcaly that position is right Specifically and
particularly at the present moment it is wrong 1t
an appeal to a German public opinion that does not
exist if it exists, it is embryonic and without power
of expression By the majority of Germans it will be
interpreted as evidence of allied weakness index
of their anxiety for peace Berlin would ask nothing
better than the submission of such terms Lans-
downe attempts outline for them.
Even President Wilson, who is at least a partial
convert the restatementofw policy, is I'M
derstood to feel that the present is inopporne
for such reiteraton. Col. House may bring up the
subject informally at the Paris conference. Nothing
is more certain than that such discussion will be
purely incidental if it is entered into at all. For
months the American people have been hammering
upon the one chord that the nation must talk war,
not peace; it has regarded peace propaganda here
almost seditous the President told Pope Benedict that
the word of the present German government cannot
be taken as guarantee of anything that is endure
As to Russia, it is evident how the situation
there is to be helped by the Lansdowne policy Lenine
and Trotzky are working hand-in-hand with Germany
towards a definite goal and the immediate future in
Russia at least to be black There is public opin
ion in Russia that counts The Bolshevih are
not open to allied logic since has submitted to the
Establishments of Germany.
The discussion of the Lansdowne proposal in the
house of commons will be awaited with interest
The Washington herald., 1917-12-01
For Foreign Honors.

The Lodge bill, which passed the
Senate and Is on the House calendar,
after receiving q favorable report at
the hands of the. Military Committee
there, provides that officers of our
army may receive foreign decorations
during the present war. The question
Is receiving considerable interesting
discussion there days. principally be-
cause Secretary Daniels frowned on
such a plan. The opinion of many of
the leading members is that the boys
will not be seriously damaged by be-
ing given permission of this govern
ment to- receive the decorations. In
fact, several Of the members say there
isn't the slightest reason in the world
for compelling our fighting men to
turn down proffers of foreign decora-
tions. II the countries with which
we are allied in this cause are good
enough for us to band with in the
enterprise of making the world safe
for democracy their honers are our
honors and can rightfully be received
by our men who earn them. That is
the way Congress Is pretty apt to look
at Il unless Secretary Daniels can
change the minds of more of the
members than he appears to have
reached thus far.
THE OBSERVER.
The Washington herald., 1917-12-01
Concerning Slackers.

There are two kinds of slackers in this war.
The Stacker who tries evade service at the 'front.'
and the Stacker who evades more prosaic duties at
home because he is afraid not to go.
After all the noise about it, there has been COM
paratively little sackersm of the first class in the
United States. The American breed in all its varied
tints and mixtures has proved sound in fiber. We
have had little trouble in this country with the Con-
scentous objector to Great Britain's
vail with these degenerates.
The number of men with consciences too tender
to allow them to do their duty the country which
has raised and protected them is slight There have
been some genuine cases of religious scruple1 but
most of these have met satisfactorily the real test
between conscience and cowardice That test is the
willingness to do noncombatant service in hospitals
or in the engineering branches.
The Qrakers-a sect which furnishes great num-
Der of fighting men, by the way despite its formulas
and education leaped the opportunities of
ing their country under FIRE engineers hospital
and ambulance When a is willing to be shot
at-although he objects to shooting himself-it is
supercourage, not cowardice, which really rules his
conscience" .s.
But of the other class, the draft age with
heavy family responsibilities who have left their wives
and babies the doubtful issue of selfsupport while
they have sought the gold and black hat cord Of a
second lieutenant with its pay insufficient to keep
family at the and a at the front, have
heard little, although there are many of them. They
are not the real stuff. There is flaw in such ma
teria which may crack under FIRE. 1t is good hear
that they are being weeded out of the training camps
and denied commissions wherever the camp command

On Loose Rail. and Headed Into the Ditch.

The railroad situation grows more critical every
hour and the climax threatened seems to be due to
two faures-failure Of financial support of the many
weak lines and failure in the courage or power of
authorized management
II is evident that there is no financial remedy in
the raising of rates through permission Of the Inter
state Commerce Commission Raised rates. raised cost
of living raised wages of the employees and then an
other raise of rates. 1t is clearcut circle in which
our railroad economies 60 round and round, to uti-
mately fall exhausted, dead failure.
1t points straight at governmental ownership, at
least governmental ownership of the weaker lines with
government providing funds for necessary new equip
ment fixing rates and costs of operation and allowing
such profits as sound finances warrant
1t will be remembered that upon tho declaration
of war; President Wilson notified the railroads to pre-
pare themselves for He plainly disclosed his ex-
reme unwingness to risk general business upheaval
by communicating the greatest of industries, the
railroads. and Railroad War Board created, con-
ssting of our ables railroad Into the hands of
this board the leading railroad system promptly put
almost unlimited power =
This Railroad War Board has worked hard, per-
sistenty and with patriotic ardor that merits the
countrys gratitude and II has accomplished much But
either through lack of courage lack of authority to
act in drastic fashion, trains of fuel are sidetracked
with people in adjacent communities freezing harvests
are not half marketed and mountains of potatoes and
other vegetables are rotting because of faulty traffic
management.
The passenger traffic going on today aside from
troop movements is reproach upon the term traffic
conservation The recommendation placing transporta-
ton of certain articles under the ban of has not
been adopted and pushed that anybody see and
feel it. OF course, such measures are conscriptve
but such CONSUMPTION, courageously and impartally
carried out seems to be the last and only available
recourse before conscrpton of the railroads bodily
The Washington herald., 1917-12-01
What Says the Marquis,

A re-statement of Britain's war
aims. suggested by the Marquis Of
Landsdowne, would not seriously i'm
pair the British cause. in the opinion
of many lawmakers here. Nor would
it cause a consequent DINNER ref1ec-
tion on the cause for which the other
allies are contending.
The statement of the Marquis ma
turally caused a most profound sem
sation in this city. among admins
tration heads. members of Congress
and among the diplomatic representa-
tives. The Marquis position is work
ing out somewhat on lines of our own
Presidents reply to the Pope's peace
proffer. That is, in both documents
1t Is made very plain that we do not
seek the extinction of the German
people but of the insidious system
which has overwhelmed them fol
many years and which has led them
disastrously into this mammoth con-
flict. The Marquis statement tallies
with the spirit of the Presidents
statement in that memorable document

The Score.

Speaking of golfng in a Washington club, Senator
John w. Weeks, of Massachusetts, referred to the
great enthusiasm of the patrons of that and fit
tingly recalled this little story:
Jones was golf fan of the dyed-in-the ewool brand
When he wasn't playing golf he was talking gof and
between those intervals he happily dreamed of puts
and drives One afternoon Jones across an elderly
preacher from his boyhood town.
"By the way, Mr.. Brown" said the golfer, after
many "reminiscences had been exchanged. Il must ask
you about those three old maiden sisters who used to
live on Main street when l was boy | suppose they
never left Jacksonville
"Miss Ophelia and Miss Phoebe went to heaven
about two years ago" answered the parson with the
still in Jacksonville"

Senator owen Interested.

Senator Owen may give more atten-
ton to a practical marketing scheme
during the coming session than he
does to any idealistic scheme for world
peace. The bill. about which The
Herald had considerable to say some
time ago, provides for a central mar
keting and distributing system with
cabinet representation, and with offi-
cials down to the remotest corners
Of the country. Senator owen is con-
fident that the big problem Of the
country today is not fixing prices sud-
denly and Unfortunately but pro-
viding equitable distribution Of food
products, and attaching prices there
to after a very well defined and dis
Greet determination OF costs Of pro-
duction, and all modifying costs.
The Senator is making an inten-
sive study Of the situation and ex-
poets to be able to give Congress
much information before the session
is over. The agricultural committees
Of both houses will hear the plans ex-
pounded to them, and it would not be
surprising If the bin, with some slight
changes, to which Senator Owen may
consent, will come out on the floor
for attention.

The Pence Treaties.

Peace treaties negotiated between
this and other countries during the
period of Mr.. Bryanis secretaryship
came under the observation Of Con-
gressional members yesterday. 1t
was found that while a liberal supply
of these very valuable documents are
on hand none was written at the time
with either Austria, Turkey or Bull
Garia.
Thus there are no ties to bind US to
pausing before We enter state OF
war with any of these countries. We
are bound to take sharp account Of
any momentcus, overt act which
they many commit. That is we must
take account of it II we are to pre-
serve our record of consistency. But
if, in the opinion OF President Wilson
and the members OF Congress, 1t ap-
pears that We could further the cause
of peace by refusing to break with
Austria the means Justify the end.
We are here not only to bring an end
to Germany's militaristic reign, but
to do it as soon as possible. II We
can do that more quickly by head
work in our diplomatic affairs 1t
should be done, by all means. This
- the consensus of opinion among
the solons in the absence of any
great amount of illumination from the
White House.
