Publicity and the Investigations.

In the investigations of the war &C
tiers for the committees to decide what
should or should not be published. The
public is very curious. So much con
fusion has existed, and so many squab-
-bles have been aired, rumor factories
! have been busy. Not unlikely, some
have been working overtime.
:, The people are entitled to know a
good deal. They are the source of
power in this country. They put up
the money for the support of the gov
eminent; and just now they are putting
up immense quantities of it-more than
ever before. Naturally, they want to
know how it is being spent, and what
they are getting for the investments.
They are entitled to know.
At the same time there is informa-
ton of character requiring great care
in the handling. Publicity might
plague the government in carrying out
important plans. The enemy might
profit; and nobody wants to play the
enemy's game.
. These Investigations are timely. What
J ever is wrong should be corrected now.
Whatever is right should be carried for
ward with energy. We are just getting
into the picture, and just getting an
insight into what is expected of US.
1t is considerable; and it may grow
: in size. Man-power and money power
are required. We have both in abund-
lance. But, to be effective, both must
rbe employed with system and under
standing. Abundance is never an ex-
reuse for waste.
: : Let US all, then. follow these investi-
cations closely, with feeling that the
object of them is not to embarrass. but
assist, the government. No trace of par
tisanship appears. Both parties are
represented on the committees. But
both parties are responsible for the
war, and it is to be assumed that both
are equally DESTROYS of success.
The government is carrying very
i heavy load, which under the most favor
able circumstances would test its
strength. But the circumstances are
not altogether favorable. Blue water
three thousand miles wide separates us
from the field Of action; and we must
negotiate it II we are to appear in sutfi-
s Gent force in time to play the part
assigned us. While prompt work is nee
essary, it must be performed with knowl-
edge of both our obligations and re-
sources. Mere haste would not solve,
but might increase and intensity, our
difficulties.
Evening star. [volume] (Washington, D.C.) 1854-1972, 1917-12-17

cordially received at the Paris confer-
ence,. and before thsn in London. They
met those they went to meet. They
played leading part in what was done.
They are back, it is to be assumed, with
information and suggestions the Presi-
dent and his cabinet viii weigh with all
care.
It is q critical time. What is done
needs to be done with consideration Of
the latest developments; aud some re-
cent developments have been momen-
tous. Even bigger seem to impend.
Necessarily, the President and his
cabinet are much better advised about
all phases Of the war situation than the
public. They could not afford to take
the public fully into their confidence.
They could not afford to take even Con-
gress into full confidence in any way
that would lead to open disclosure.
They are now to be advised by men
picked for the purpose-men in whom
they place thorough trust-men who
must have accepted and filed their as
signments with the most adequate ap-
probation of their value.
Naturally, all of this heightens the in
terest of both Congress and the coun-
try. The war is the paramount ques-
ton, and will be while it lasts. The
President as commanders in chief Of the
Army and Navy is charged with the con-
duet of our part IN the hostilities. The
responsibility is heavy, but he is ut
tering no complaint. Thus far he has
had from Congress all he has asked for
in the way of both men and money; and
his appeals have been huge as to both.
His next deliverances on the subject,
therefore, keyed as it is thought they
will be in the pitch of the reports of
this special commission, are awaited
with the concern properly attaching to
them.

The Paw Scale Hearings.

Committees of the House are TODAY
hearing arguments on the question of
clerks pay. These hearings will con-
tinue tomorrow. Members of Congress
are appearing before the committee to
urge the adoption of higher pay scale
and in advocacy of at least a renewed
bonus in consideration of the higher
cost of living. In point of fact the
clerks cause viii be chiefly represented
by members of the very body that
eventually will pass upon the question.
The reason why these legislators are
gong before the committee is that their
opportunity for action later depends in
large measure upon what the committees
do now.
1t is unfortunate that there should
be any need of this procedure to assure
the continuance and possible increase

Red Cross Membership.

Forty-two thousand new members for
the Red Cross from the District of Co.
lumbia are asked. That should be easy.
In fact, every adult person in this city
should be member Of that organiza-
ton. Presumably we are all working to
win this war, some by our personal sac
rifices, some by our services, some by
our sympathies and with the aid of our
money. If there are any who are not
50 working they will not disclose them
selves. They are very few.
Membership in the Red Cross means a
dollar given for its maintenance. It
means interest in and COOPERATION with
the manifold activities Of that splendid
organization which has become in prac-
tice part of the government in its
prosecution of the war. The American
Red Cross today stands for America vic
torious in battle. It is no longer neu-
trail organization. It aids only. Ameri-
cans and their allies, though willing to
succor others when such aid does not
strengthen the enemy's hands.
Foolish stories Of Red Cross ineom-
petence and mismanagement and ex-
travagance have been circulated. pri.
marily by German agents and sympa-
thizers seeking to destroy public faith
in this blessed work. These tales are
untrue. There is no sale Of Supplies.
there are no immense salaries draining
the organizations resources, there is no
Encouragement of the kind character
lied by the anonymous critics who are
whispering ISLANDERS. The American
Red Cross today is one of the cleanest,
most efficient, most honestly administer
ed of the forces aligned in the war, and
it is worthy of the entire support and
unquestioning aid of every American.
What you give to the Red Cross, what
you do for it, all goes to win the war.
1t goes to make the men in France more
secure from disease and death. to nurse
them in their illness and wounds. to
shelter them, to clothe them, to comfort
them, to solace them on their return
home as convalescents. 1t goes to help
every man in camp in this country. The
Red Cross is the nursing agency Of the
United States in this war, and every
penny given, every stitch knitted. or
sewed, every hour of service rendered
makes for victory through the sustain
ling of our spirit and the conservation
of our man power
Our $4,000 new members should be
over 10000 here in Washington. The
headquarters of the organization, it
should be the banner city in point of
Red Cross membership. Let there be no
limit in this drive.
