The Y. n. C. A. Fund.

A splendid success has been scored in
the campaign to raise Washington's 3
quota Of the Y. NJ. O. A. war camp fund.
With great rush on the last day the
t15O,000 point was reached and passed.
This is an inspiring achievement, a work
that makes for the moral and physical
bctterment Of the American Army has
thus been accomplished. The men and
women who engaged in Washington's
drive for the Y N. c. A. fund have per-
formed a public service for which they
richly deserve the community's thanks.
They have sustained Washington's rec
ord for generous giving through their
appeals and incessant labors. As q re-
suit Of this campaign the invaluable
services of the Y. NJ. c. A. with the
Army are better understood and more
fully appreciated, and the result is a
feeling Of greater confidence that the
men who are going out to fight our bat
tie for liberty and humanity will have
the best and most wholesome surround
ings possible while they are at camp in
training. at sea, in transport and on the
field in France.

German Musicians Barred.

One effect Of the expulsion Of alien
enemies from the District of Colum bia
will be the exclusion Of musical artists
Of German citizenship who have hither-
to come here for the purpose Of giving
concerts and recitals. This will solve
problem that has greatly perplexed
many District people since the recent
controversy over the rendering Of the
national anthem by a certain musical
organization headed by subject Of
Prussia Every alien enemy in these or
chestras must be registered and will be
restricted in moving about the country,
but at no place so definitely as in the
District of Columbia, in regard to which
the prohibition is explicit. There are
many Washingtonians who will be graft
fed that the Presidents proclamation
relieves them Of the responsibility of
deciding between their appreciation of
classical music and their sense of patri.

No More Fear Of Submarines.

Premier Lloyd Georges announcement
yesterday in the house Of commons that
five German submarines had been sunk
on Saturday is notable in that it is the
first Official British statement regarding
the destruction Of U-boats. It is also
important in that it is coupled with the
emphatic declaration that there ID now
no fear Of the submarine menace, which
eontroverts the opinion Of the head of
the admiralty and also that of our own
naval chief. Certainly If the subma-
rines are being destroyed as rapidly as
the British premier states the menace
in the waters around England and
France is very greatly reduced. The
ship losses have fallen to the lowest
point Of the record since the unrestrict-
ed submarine warfare began. Perhaps
nobody outside Of the German admi-
rally knows whether this is due to U.bost
losses. or to improved methods Of ship

Clemenceau and Northcliffe.

Clemenceau takes up cabinet duties,
while Lord Northcliffe declines them.
Both are editors Both have been free
spoken in their newspapers about the
conduct Of the war ever since the war
began. Both are aggressive men, not
easily controlled by censorships or ary-
thing else.
There is difference, however. Clemen-
ceau as editor spoke through a paper
which for its importance depended solely
upon his name. He was the paper. Now
that he has severed his connection with
it and transferred his talents to the
government, that organ Of opinion will
lose interest. Whether it supports OF
opposes the government will be Of small
consequence.
The London Times is an important
proposition in British journalistic and
political life. It is properly considered
an institution. While Lord Northcliffe
controls it, there was Times before
his day, and will be after his day.
Control Of such paper counts for
much. u gives great power to the con.
troller. Two influences cooperate: His

Eviction Of Alien Enemies,

Under tho terms Of the Presidents
proclamation all alien enemies residing
in the District Of Columbia must re-
move and no other alien enemies can
enter capital territory. This sweeping
order will affect, it is estimated, about
1000 residents of Washington, who, un-
der the instructions given to the United
Ststes district attorney and the marshal,
have until the 18th Of December to de-
part, provided they have lived here con-
tinuously since April last, and all others
must leave by tomorrow or be liable to
arrest. The grant of four weeks to those
whose residence dates from before April
6. 1917, il an act Of consideration. 1t
gives them opportunity to arrange for
their removal Some Of them will be
compelled to surrender their employ
ment here. for they cannot merely move
TO Maryland or Virginia and continue to
work here, as under the terms of the
proclamation they cannot enter the Dis,
trict during the war.
Much hardship will undoubtedly be
caused by the enforcement Of this or
der, but it is incidental to the war and
must be borne. The United States ha,
dealt most gently and considerably with
alien enemies and has suffered in con
sequence through the mischievous ac
tivities Of spies. It's tolerance has beer
abused. and this step, though not a.
drastic as might have been, is a measure
/ Of self-protection which must be taken
notwithstanding the injuries it may in
hiet upon wholly innocent people.

Patriotic American Labor.

President Wilson's conference Thurs
day with the heads Of tho RAILWAY labor
brotherhoods is expected to have re-
suits Of profoundly important bearing
| upon the winning Of the war. The OBJ
ject Of the meeting is to coordinate the
imperative needs Of the government
with the just demands Of tho railway
operatives, to prevent . clash Of inter
ests and possible strikes. Both sides will
lay their cards upon the table faces up.
Augury Of happy outcome is fur
nished by tho patriotic course Of the
congress Of labor men in Buffalo yes
terday. While not binding upon the
brotherhood leaders, tho action Of the
American Federation Of Labor. in thirty
seventh annual session convened, can
not fail of Interpretation as expressing
the determination Of labor at large to
place the needs Of the government above
all other considerations.
It was, indeed, creditable showing
Of patriotism, this declaration, made
more emphatic by the undisguised scern
and contempt expressed for pacihsts,
slackers and near-traitors. The resolu-
tion and speeches supporting it should
make every Americans heart proud.
Rose shapiro's organization Of garment
workers Of New York city cast the only
negative organization vote. Arizona
copper mine strikers and Pacific coast
sand-lotters piped feeble note Of pro-
test, but it was merely the squeak Of a
penny whistle to the grand anthem Of
love Of country and human fellowship
which the 435 other delegates out Of the
$50 sang.
Samuel Gompers sounded tho keynote
and led the chorus. Always friend Of
peace, u now publicly declare" he said,
"that I am . fighting man and will con.
tinue to fight for the country to which
I owe all; the country which I love and
in which my hope and aspirations are
bound up" And Samuel Gompers was
not born in America. He said that paci.
fists now are not paeifsts, but towards.
"You may vote against me-" he told the
congress. "but must continue on good
terms with myself" The congress by q
vote Of 1876 to Is indorsed the patriotic
work Of the alliance for labor and de.
mocracy which Mr.. Gompers had organ
lied to Offset the I. W. W., the Peoples
Council and other like bodies.
The clenr Interpretation which Thurs
days conference may draw from all this
! is that the organized labor Of the eoun-
try is solidly back Of the flag, the Presi-
dent Of the United States and the war,
and is willing to place the necessity OF
the government first.

Today begins the Districts food

this pledge will display in their win
