JOSEPH DEBAR.
President
President Debar's appeal didn't get a
hearing from The Times for the follow
ing reasons:
The Times does not carry the adver-
Using of whisky manufacturers, is not in
the pay of whisky manufacturers and
does not have to take orders from whisky
manufacturers;
The Times does not feel called upon
to consult the interest of any bank or
banks dependent upon the whisky traffic
for their existence;
The Times does not feel called upon to
consult the interest of any distiller, any
bonding company or any individual de
pendent upon the whisky traffic Cor eX-
istence.
The Times does not believe in the traf-
fic, wants to see the war over just as
soon as possible, believes that we need oui
maximum of strength and efficiency, and
believes that not only whisky but that
beer and light wines should be banned
for the period of the war and forever
thereafter.
The Times did not give President De
bars appeal hearing or first thought
because The Times favors cheaper bread
and believes that bread will be cheaper
when the wheat that is now going into
spirituous liquors, to make men drunk, is
made into -four, to feed the pauperized
families of drunkards.
The Times is not printed in the inter
est of whisky or whisky manufacturers

The American Air Army.

American airmen may win the war.
From this country may go the aviators
who will drive the German flyers out
of action and cripple the German artil-
lery and enable the allied forces to adj
vance and still advance until they have
beaten the Teuton lines into confusion
and rout.
This possibility. however, can only be-
made Immediately for the training and
equipping of a large force of aviators.
The sum of $600,o0o000 is estimated
and requisitioned by the government
for this purpose. 1t should be quickly
appropriated, so that the process of
bringing the great American air army
into being may be started without delay.
In all probability the American fight
ing forces cannot get into line at the
front in sufficient numbers to be of ma
terial aid until next spring. By that
time the gigantic feet of airplanes
should be constructed and the men to
operate them trained. This will require
intensive work, the kind of work for
which America is famous the world over,
the sort of work that has put American
motor cars into every country and made
American machines familiar to the in
habitants of the remotest quarters of
the globe.
Already American aviators have
scored distinct success in the flying
corps in France. They have proved
themselves capable of the most difficult
work, shown the stanch nerve necessary
for military flying, have been precise
in their movements and fearless in their
ventures. They have ably upheld the
traditions of this country, which saw
the birth of the airplane and should now
be the scene of its greatest development
in the creation of force of flying men
capable Of putting the finishing touches
to the campaign for human liberty.

Commissioner Clements.

The death Of Judson c. Clements
would have been loss to the country
at any time. At this time it is a very
heavy loss. He had mastered as prob
ably no other government official of the
day the large and complicated and i'm
portant question Of railroad transporta-
ton. He had participated in all the
leading hearings and decisions of the
interstate commerce commission in the
quarter century Of his service as men,
Der Of that body. He had seen the com
missions power grow, and the tribunal
become one Of great influence in our
national life. So that today, when the
railroad problem is taking on new fea-
lures, and the whole matter Of trans
portation is SO intimately associated
with preparedness and war duties, this
master Of the subject will be greatly
missed from the council board.
Tho ability and character and useful
ness Of Mr.. Clements arc certified by
his long stay In ofice. One term fol-
lowed another. He had made himself,

The Two-Platoon Fire system.

No man should ever be assigned to a
twenty four- hour-a day job. No respon-
sibility that lasts from midnight to mid
night should ever be imposed upon any
man or set of men. Yet under the pres
emit system of fire department organi-
cation in this District the men work
on twenty-four- hour day basis. The
lives and property Of the people of this
city are Entrusted to force that is kept
continuously on duty every hour of the
day, every day of the week and every
week OF the year, with only possible
three hours daily for meals and per
haps twenty day furlough annually.
The three hours for meals are contin-
gent upon chance. If fire occurs lust
before the time for eating the fremen
must answer the alarm.
1t is proposed to establish here the
two-platoon system, which is in vogue
in twenty five American cities. includ-
ing some of the large centers of popu-
involves the employment of larger
number of men, fremen have definite
periods of daily exemption from duty,
which gives an average of ten hours day
duty and fourteen hours night duty.
Every third day one platoon is on duty
continuously, while the other platoon is
off duty. As a result of this system the
force is always fresh. The members are
enabled to lead fairly normal lives, to
be with their families regularly and
frequently instead of casually, as at
present. Experience has proved that
better work is done under the two
platoon system than under the old
method. 1t has proved, too, to decrease
the number Of deaths among the fire.
men by maintaining higher health
condition. Firemen under tho two pla-
toon system can got moro regular rest

and regular meals. They can have some
recreation. which is so essential to the
maintenance of physical fitness. They
are altogether better equipped for their
duty.
Washington should have no less than
the best fire-fghting organization. 1t
has today good equipment and per-
sonnet that cannot be surpassed in any
other American city. 1t should be given
now the benefit of the two-platoon
method, which has proved SO satisfac-
tory in Chicago, San Francisco, Pitts
burgh, Buffalo, Minneapolis, Omaha,
Kansas City, Newark and other places.
It is now up to the Commissioners for
recommendation to Congress, and they
have indicated that they will be guided
in this matter by public opinion. AS
suredly there can be no doubt that the
people of the District strongly approve
the suggestion to put Washington on a
par with other cities that have dealt with
humane wisdom with the fire depart
ment organization and given their fire
fighters fair opportunity to remain
members of their communities while dis
charging the important duty of safe
guarding life and property.

The Y. W. C. AS Good Work.

The Young Women's Christian Asso-
citation of this city is performing pub
lie service in expanding its accommoda-
tions to provide a boarding home for
some of the girls who will come to
Washington in the course of the next
few months to take government posi-
lions in the expansion of the depart
mental service incident to the war.
This enterprise is most commendahle,
and entities the association, which has
done such excellent work in the past,
to the fullest measure of public sup
port. The problem of housing and car
ing for the young women who come
here from elsewhere to do the govern
ment's work is not an easy one to solve.
The Y. W. c. A. is periodically aiding
in its solution by this acquisition of
property. permitting the establishment
of home in which several score may
find accommodations.

Republican Movement in Spain.

Spain q republic7 There is nothing
especially surprising in the suggestion,
for Spain has always had q strongly re-
publican tendency. The liberalization
of the government has been along def
mite and practical lines for years, and
the republican party has grown until,
since the Spanish war, it has
been powerful factor in Spanish poll
tics. Just now the movement has gained
Roadway that appears to promise early
results. Complaints against the court
methods are bitter, especially in the mat
ter Of the appointment of officers of the
army. Favoritism is the rule. So in
sistent are demands for reform that the
government Is practically at a crisis of
decision. Parliament is out of session.
The assemblage of the cortes is urged
by the people for the purpose Of enact
ing changes in the laws, but it is feared
by the ministry, lest these changes go
too far. One Of the particular griev-
ances is that the army officers have
formed committees of so-called national
defense, tantamount, it is claimed, to
the establishment of military govern
ment. King Alfonso, himself of demo
cratic inciinations, has thus far taken
no side in the matter, but his influence
is believed to be strong for the salts
faction of the popular demand Pro-
nounced dissatisfaction prevails through
out Spain against the policy of neutral
ity, which is regarded as a prot German
policy. Germany has given verbal sat
isfaction for the sinking of Spanish
ships, but the shipping losses have seri-
ously curtailed business throughout the
kingdom, and great distress prevails
among the industrial population. The
situation is such that a solution must be
reached soon or revolution will occur

The Russian Mission.

These are days of special foreign mis-
sions in Washington. Hither have come
missions from England, France, Italy
and Belgium, and today one arrives
from Russia, especially interesting and
welcome because it represents the new
order in that land, the democracy which
sprang into being almost in day.
1t is difficult to conceive the new Rus
STA, the Russia without a ear and
government of autocracy. Yet it is in
full evidence today in this mission, COM
prised of men without titles save those
of military rank, men of distinction in
science and economies, in politics and
business.
These missioners of the new Russia
reach Washington at a particularly OPP
perfume time, just as Mr.. Root and his
colleagues of the American mission ar
rived at Petrograd in the hour of the
greatest need of encouragement and
counsel. They will be in a position to
inform this government of the new
trend in Russia and will receive assur-
ances Of support and practical assist
ance that will aid in developing and
maintaining strong administration of
Russian affairs under the new condi-
tions.
Between the two countries there have
always been close relations. With the
aspirations of the Russian people for a
fuller degree of liberty of action and
expression and a larger part in their
own government America has always
been sympathetic. When the great
change came this country rejoiced, for
Russia's sake, though it has deplored
the long delay in military activity
against the common enemy incidental
to the overturn and the adjustment.
Brighter prospects now appear in
Russia. Differences are being recon
ciled and the process of reorganization
is being effected more smoothly. The
insidious proposals of Germany for sep
arate peace are rejected and Russia is
again active in the field. The acclaim
with which the mission is welcomed to-
day is the heartier because of the good
news that is daily being reported from
Petrograd.
