Army and Navy News
Best service Coiup.n in City.

IN the annual report of the inspector
General OF the United States army to the
secretary of War, great stress is laid
on the success OF the service schools in
the army, but the report suggests that
these schools could be better co-ordinated
Tor the further increase of their useful
ness. The ideas as suggested by the In
spector General are:
onlcers should pass through the spe-
ciai schools of their own arms before De-
Ing admitted to the school of the line.
The field officers course at Leaven-
worth should be limited to officers above
the grade of major. and the length OF the
course should be extended to six months.
The War College class should be linz
tied to recommended graduates of the
Staff College.
The course at the army service schoois
at Leavenworth should embrace and
should be limited to thorough study OF
all matters pertaining to a division.
studies relating to larger bodies OF troops
being left to the War College.
1T seems essential to consider without
delay the expansion of the service schools
to meet the needs created by the expan-
sion of the army and the National Guard.
THE schools have heretofore been con-
Quoted on a scale which barely suficed
to meet the needs under the old establish
ment, The capacity of the schools 10
meet the necessities which result from the
national defense act is totally Inadequate
1t is recommended that steps be taken to
double, at least, the capacity Of all serv-
ice schools"
On January 8 Surgeon General VIII
liam c. Braisted, U. 8. N, gave an in

Anent Peace.

When the German War Lord halted
in midcareer last month and asked
his enemies to consider peace, The
Washington Herald did not dismiss
the thing as mere diplomatic feint,
but proclaimed it as material evidence
that Europe was returning to its
senses, and that peace was not so re-
mote as it appeared to be. Subse-
quent events, including the Presi-
dents part in the arena, have served
to confirm it in that opinion.
The Herald was practically the
only newspaper in the country to
appraise the Kaiser's step at any
where near its true significance.
1t was significant of change of
heart in Germany. No less signif-
cant is Berlin's acceptance of the
Wilsonian phrase, peace without vic
tory" reported yesterday to be en-
bodied in a forthcoming note from
Wilhelmstrasse to the State De
partment. 1t seems amazing that the
land of Deutschland uber allies" can
be brought to stomach such senti-
ment in the midst of its dedication
of its Hindenburgs and Won Mack
ensens.
Acceptance of the Presidents pro-
gram by Germany would be no less
amazing. What of the rights of the
small states and weak peoples?"-
what of Alsace-Lorraine, the Tren-
tino, Bohemia, Pennsylvania, Serbia,
Turkey and Poland2 Is it possible
that imperial Germany is willing to
consider them on the basis that gov
ernment can be based only on the
consent of the governed?"
These are the questions which the
forthcoming note from Berlin are ex-
pected to meet and to answer. If
they are not met, the evasion will be
transparent. Better no answer at all
than one that reeks of cunning di-
plomacy. Better no answer than one
that marks some sharp war move
that will abridge the neutral rights of
the United States.
But from reliable sources there
comes a forecast of the next Ger
man note, which says that Wilson's
terms in their fgurative sense will be
acceptable to the central powers.
Should the events of the next week
bear out the assumption, the entire
world will begin to consider peace
seriously and the minor details such
as indemnities and other reparation
will soon be named in their entirety.

tCopyight, Ig7.l

President Wilson should be content
with the reception his remarkable speech
mas received abroad. His name cheered
for five minutes at the British Labor
Congress; all the Liberal English news
papers declaring 1t to be the high-water-
mark of craftsmanship; the NorthcIiffs
press snarling only in a faint minor;
John Dillon, for Ireland, declaring il
"the most remarkable and momentous
uttered by a ruler of a great power for
hundred years" and Bonar Law, the
Conservative, declaring, despite certain
caveats, that Mr.. Wilson's aims are
ours!' Surely, the President could
hardly have expected anything so favor
able at the outset, and he has every
reason to believe that the more the world
ponders upon his speech the better It will
be liked.-New York Post
The Washington herald., 1917-01-31
The Literacy Test.

President Wilson displays that
character of independence and de-
votion to individual opinion that has
frequently marked his course at the
White House, in his veto of the i'm
migration bill with the disputed lit
eracy test, indorsed by an overwhelm-
ing majority of his political adher-
ents in both branches of Congress.
For the fourth time the measure
has met executive disapproval, large
ly because of the much-mooted liter
acy test, that requires knowledge of
reading and writing from the immi-
grant seeking admission to our
shores. President Cleveland was the
first to record his disapproval of
such legislation, President Taft ex-
pressed a similar dislike to the bill
because of this section and President
Wilson has twice turned down the
measure because of this restrictive
item.
On both sides Of the question there
is much to be said The support of
organized labor for the measure may
be discounted because it may be
founded on selhshness. An influx
of European labor that will work
lower than the prescribed union scale
threatens the progress of the organ
lied labor movement. That consti-
tute's the keynote of the labor lead
ers' objections.
Congress apparently believes that
unless such restrictive measures are
adopted the quality of the immigra-
ton is open to serious question. This
argument carries greater weight now,
because of the fact that the European
war may soon be history and the bel
ligerent countries will do their best
to retain the desirable humanity in
their own countries to aid the prob
lem of reconstruction.
Herbert Myrick, a noted publicist,
speaking before the National Con-
gress for Constructive Patriotism,
said: 81 have never recognized the
immigrants ability to read and write
as a main qualification for admission
to the United States. To the many
restrictions, now imposed for the ex-
clusion of undcsirables, possibly
might be added a vocational test, so
that upon arrival, the immigrant may
be assigned to the occupation for
which he is best fitted
However, all investigation now
emphasizes the probable dearth of
immigration into the United States,
at least for some years to come Even
allowing for Stacking up of indus
try during the approaching readjust-
ment, the labor that will emigrate
abroad is certain to perpetuate, if not
accentuste, the present dearth of
farm help. The country's first duty
in this crisis is to induce Congress to
sustain the Presidents veto of the
literacy test"
The President in his message
sounded new. note in his implica-
ton that the legislation tended to-
ward religious war Whether his
fear is justified, Congress must de-
termine. The. Endorsement of the
veto should settle, once and for all,
whether this method of restriction is
desirable or whether it is entirely inn
practicable.
