Eating Crow

The tidings come from Germany
that the choicest dish now on Ger
man tables is the delectable crow.
Probably Germany never heard Of
the American phrase, "eating crow"
and what it purports in political par
lance. 1t is a token of surrender to
superior forces, Of having to swallow
bold words that were not succeeded
by a victorious fight, OF having to
atone for blunders that were worse
than crimes and crimes as foolish as
blunders. It is not palatable Wand,
either literal or symbolical. Time
will no doubt teach the whole Ger
man nation what eating crow really
means.

The Times cIoses the pebate

The Senate met yesterday morn
ing at II o'clock, went into executive
session for twenty minutes, and at
SAT p. m. adjourned. There was q
small outburst against the. news
papers for publishing the ac-
counts of the executive session of
the day before and proposal to pun
ish them as though there were not
already a rule of the Senate to pun
ish leaking but accommodating Sem
ators.
Then the Senate for six hours dis
cussed the conference report on the
new army bill. Smith of Michigan
debated the question whether the
President should appoint officers be-
low the rank of colonel until he was
informed that this provision had been
adopted by both houses. Stone made
an anti-Roosevelt TRADE for the pur-
pose of enabling him to vote against
the passage of the bill which he had
formerly voted for, thus squaring
himself with both sides. But the chief
debate was on the question whether
the term, "the existing emergency"
meant the war with Germany, a ques-
ton which Senator Knox declared to
be of the Observation-Disclosures
variety. Finally, Senator John Sharp
Williams had read from the clerks
desk, with favorable comment, an
editorial in The Times. entitled,
"Now For Action" and the Senate
proceeded to pass the bill in final
form by a vote of 60 to 8, the eight
being Gore. Gronna, Hardwick,
Kirby, La Toilette, Norris, Stone,
and Trammel.
The Times is glad to have been
the occasion of indicating to the Sen
ate the sentiment of the country over
the iniquity of discussing ad libitum
the difference between tweedledum
and tweedledee.

InexpIicabIe Delay

Now that the new army bill has
passed Congress, some forty days af-
ter the declaration of war. the War
Department announces that the call
for the first 100000 men is not tosbe
sent out until September 1. The
reason given by Secretary Baker is
''the depleted state of our supplies"
and this reason is given in response
to an inquiry whether the labor and
farming contingent would be soon
disturbed.
The Times is disposed to leave
military matters to the military ex-
perts. 1t knows that the process Of
supplying arms and munitions to our
allies should not be interfered with.
1t may be that as there is little pros
pect of getting the army to France
before the winter season Of compare
tive inactivity sets in, September !
is as early a date as is necessary for
the assembling Of an American
army, and that this matter has been
threshed out with the British and
French commissions.
But there remains the feeling that
an uncomfortable time will elapse
between the registration which viii
take place promptly enough and the
assembling of the army for training.
The delay for which Congress has
been duly lambasted by the press is
now one for which the War Depart
ment makes itself responsible, and
the least it can do is to furnish some
valid reason for a delay Of three
months and a half between the
passage of the army bill and the call
for the troops.

head returned.
The fact that the British are now
able to train men in three months
Is partly due to their drilling with
seasoned organizations from the
front.
But should say that three months
training in America, plus a certain
amount of necessary training in
France, would make the fittest kind
OF soldiers from entirely raw ma
teriaL.
The matter Of getting a small
American contingent over here even
earlier Is one which American sol
diers must determine for themselves,

would have on the British. The
French are less stolid, and 1t would

That is entirely q matter for SOL

not fail to inspire the Russian peo-
pie. There's another phase Of this
question OF moral effect about which
little has been said-and that Is the
ehect on the German people
when America actually takes the
field. Think what 1t means! Many
Germans have looked to America
as q sort OF heaven Many
the hope Of emigrating there. Now It
will. seem that the gates are closed.
This effect on the German people
may possibly be the most important
single proof that they are the worst
victims of the system for which they
are being slaughtered to defend.
mo one can question the tremenr
dous effect of the first appearance
of an American army-however small
lin the fighting line.
But after all, that's not the main
thing. That won't end the war. Not
until America begins making war as
though she alone faced Germany will
there be a possibility of predicting
when the end will come, and I know
that Is the spirit in which the Amer

To the Editor Of THE TINES:
We as a nation of freemen are
striving to adjust the civil and social
working OF our affairs, so that the
greatest good may be shared in by
the greatest number, and who desire
that the result shall be permanent.
agreeable, and beneficiaL' To my
mind, were there included in the civil
service regulations a clause pre-
scribed as follows, its results would
be for good:
"AH applications for employment
under the civil service shall be treat
ed as regards the highest efficiency
of the service, fulfillment of the du-
ties involved, and the result econo-
mically and socially that shall result
from such employment. Therefore,
when such applications are consid-
cred, II shall be deemed wise to hold
in preference those male applicants,
who are married, or who shall declare
an intention OF matrimony upon their
acceptance to service.
1t seems that at present, many
bachelors are holding good renumera-
tive positions, where the income Is
lost to the public good.
Our Government is not the result
of single individual effort, but the
coordination OF achievement, and the
highest welfare of its coworkers is
at Stake.
I approve OF woman's suffrage,
but also do whole heartedly believe
that the finer aspirations OF our good
