THE sIxTY.FOURTH CONGRESS

The great outstanding accomplish
ment Of the Congress that has just
passed into history is the. adoption
of the preparedness measures and
the huge appropriations for the navy
and army as compared with anything
in former American history. In the
navy 118 new craft of all kinds have
been provided for and the three-year
plan of construction adopted which
viii make us the second naval power
Of the world. Half a billion dollars
was appropriated for the navy dur
ing the short session.
The army increase'as to men and
appropriations has also been note
worthy, though the military problem
has been by no means solved. New

THE COUNTRY IS IN DANGER


triotic Frenchmen during the dark
est days of the infant republic when
the hosts of Europe were pressing
from all sides upon France. 1t was
a cry that served to cut through
the tangling webs of precedent and
the binding cords of red tape.
Today the United States Of Amer
lea witnesses the spectacle of a help
less Senate, hamstrung by the prece-
dents of more than a hundred years
which allow any SelStor to talk an
unlimited amount and defeat the will
of the majority under the subter-
fuge Of the right Of unlimited de-
bate. It is in essence government
by unanimous consent, the policy
that ruined Poland and leaves that
country now divided between three
rival powers.
The President has been justified in
not going to Congress in the last
week of the session, and asking for q
declaration of war, even with the
knowledge of German plots in the
Americas and of German overt acts
Of murder and piracy upon the high
seas involving the death of American
citizens. His request that Congress
authorize the mere arming of mer-
chant ships for. self-protection
against German submarines, the
very terror Of which has amounted
TO an embargo on American COM
merce, has been denied. The House
passed the bill by a mapority of "a
to 1. The Senate by a manifesto of
10 to l has indorsed the measure on
which it is not permitted to vote by a
pro- German, Copperhead. minority.
Fortunately the President believes
that he already possesses the power
to arm the ships and the sentiment
manifested in House and Senate will
sustain him. But if a dozen long
winded pacifists will resist even such
measure of self-defense, they may
be counted to resist to the utmost a
declaration of war with Germany,
no matter what assaults she may
make upon our honor or our safety.
The thing would be incredible if it
were not true.
1t would be well for the new Sem
ate, meeting tomorrow, TO proceed
at once to the revision of the rules of
the Senate so as to take such power
as that from the hands of un-Ameri-
can, non-resistant, allies of nation
that is making war now upon the
United States. The people will at
tend to their misrepresentation in
due season. They may come back to
the extra session with the zeal of
new converts. But at present the
fear of the German influence in their
own States seems to outweigh all
considerations Of patriotism and of
the nations welfare and honor.
The nation, meanwhile, is a help
less giant, bound hand and foot by
Senate rules and precedents. Let
US have done with government by
unanimous consent.
The country is in danger.

THE DISTRICT FARES WELL

While exact particulars are not yet
available, the increased appropria-
tions for the District this year are
notable. Last years appropriation
ran one million ahead of any preced-
ing. This years appropriations sur
pass those of last year some two mil
lions.
Every department of the District
government will feel the new energy
of more adequate supplies. The
schools have been literally treated,
the opening and paving of new
streets will proceed rapidly, the
Health Department is guaranteed
sufficient funds for sanitation, and
:he meeting of emergencies in the
way Of epidemics, the various insti-
tutions of the District are well
treated, and the police foFe receives
The only increase that it has had for
many years.
The provision for the municipal
hospital marks the end of a long
struggle against various hostile in
Auences in the effort to make ade-
quate provision for the INDECENT sick,
Altogether the District has Jared
well at the hands of Congress this
year. The efficient administration Of
District affairs by the present Board
of Commissioners and the intelli-
gence with which they have present
ed the Districts just claims to the
authorities on the Hill have con-
tributed largely to the present ia
vorable situation.

READY TO Die FOR RUSSIA

|, PETROGRAD-Min of War Ker
ensky is successfully squirting Russian
soldiers into the fight. A new spirit
of determination is apparent in the
dispatches from the front where Min
lister Kerensky has just made whirl-
wind campaign. On incident is typical
Minister Kerensky and Albert Thomas
the French minister of munitions, both
addressed conference of officers and
soldiers. Kerensky closed with an i'm
pasioned plea to the soldiers to "give
their lives to Russia so that the fruits
of the revolution might be secured. y
Every man present arose shouting,
1--WE swear it." Tumultuous demon
strations followed Kerensky and
Thomas were borne from the meeting
on the shoulders of the soldiers.
The governments anti-liquor decree
just published emphasizes the alarm
felt over the increase of drunkenness.
Intoxication in public places under the
new decree is punishable with 18
months imprisonment; the commission
of violence while drunk with six to
eight years penal servitude.
