Honoring Representative Page.

Residents of North Carolina domi-
ciled in the District paid a handsome
and deserved tribute to Representative
Robert N. Page of that state last night
by rendering him Q farewell reception,
in anticipation of his voluntary retire
ment from Congress at the close of the
present term. North Carolina and her
citizens have good reason to be proud
of Mr.. Page, who, in the course of his
years of service in Congress, has made
most commendable record in point of
capability and fidelity and earnest ap-
plication to all questions involved in
legislation. Mr.. Pages retirement from
the House is regretted by the people of
the District with whom he has been
thrown into contact as a result of his
service on the appropriation bill. He
has shown himself a true friend of
the capital, and his decision to leave
public life is sincerely deplored here.

Senate and in conference. There Is an
abundance of District money to carry
them and even more.
Il IL provided by the bill as drawn
by the Senate committee that the bal
ances Of District revenues remaining
after all appropriation charges are met
shall be credited to the interest and
sinking fund for application to the
funded debt Of the District. This pro-
vision is added to the regular item ap-
propriating 1915. 4os for interest in sink
ing fund purposes ON the haH-and-half
basis. It follows that the surplus
money will be applied to the Districts
credit on this account on the same basis.
Under the law and the decisions Of the
controller Of the Treasury the Districts
funded debt is to be liquidated by equal
payments by the District and the United
States. Thus the District is confronted
with certain overhead charge to be
repaid in the course of years as funds
are available and in accordance with a
certain sinking fund plan These sur
plus moneys of the District are, accord
ing to the present proposition, to be
applied to that half, which is the Dis
triet's funded debt liability, whether met
Immediately or ultimately by equivalent
federal appropriations.

and from and to France, etc, etc. All
ships met within that zone will be sunk
This leaves no possible doubt Of the
German purpose. Gan ships met within
that zone will be sunk" They will be
sunk, Furthermore, it may be assumed,
without warning. They may be sunk
400 miles out at sea from the coast Of
Ireland, the barred zone extending that
distance. Moreover, these sinkings may
occur with no possible help at hand for
the unfortunates cast into the sea by
the torpedoing Of their ships. The Ger
man policy of submarine warfare thus
defined is in short the last word in ruth
less and lawless destructiveness.

What Is Sea Powerf
From the Philadelphia Ledger.

from the Philadelphia Ledger.
An impression seems to prevail
among many people that the exploits Of
the latest German raider mean the los.
Of British naval supremacy in this war
That is g. rather sweeping deduction
briefest study Of the history Of sea
power will suffice to contradict it. The
surprising thing is. not that the block
ade of Germany has been run 30 often
but SO seldom. The French privateer,
did great amount Of damage to com
merce during the Napoleonic wars
though st. Vincent and Trafalgar hat
settled the question Of control Of tn,
seas. The strict blockade Of southern
ports during the civil war did no
prevent many successful efforts to pre-,
upon Union merchantmen.

What Germany Means to Do.

The first Of the memoranda submitted
with the German note to the United
States regarding unrestricted submarine
warfare left a possible doubt as to the
extent to which the shipping Of neu-
trails would be subjected to destruction
within the zone of prohibition. It stated
that from the LIST Of February within
certain defined barred zones call sea
traffic forthwith will be opposed" Sub
sequently it was stated that neutral
ships plying within the barred zone do
so at their own risk" Certain exemp-
tons were made, temporarily in the case
of ships in port or on their way to or
from port through the barred zones, and
permanently in the case Of one ship a
week each way between the United
States and Falmouth. England. This
left possible doubt as to whether all
neutral ships with these exceptions were
to be destroyed or merely warned back,
though the presumption was strong
that by the word Opposed" Germany
intended to announce the determination
to destroy all unexempted vessels. The
supplementary memorandum. however.
which was not published until after the
text Of the note with its first accom-
paniment, leaves NO doubt whatever on
this score. After citing the reasons ami
mating Germany for change Of policy
| It Is stated:
"Under these circumstances Germany
will meet the illegal measures Of her
enemies by forcibly preventing, after
February l, 1917, in sons around Great
Britain, France, Italy and In tho eastern
Mediterranean all navigation, that Of
! nsutrals included, from and to England

All America Together!


The United States has severed diplo
matte relations with Germany
This action is the logical result OF
the cancellation Of the German pledges
concerning submarine warfare given
Last May in response to the American
warning that without such pledges
faithfully carried out, "the government
Of the United States can have no choice
but to sever diplomatic relations with
the German empire altogether"
This action is the inevitable result of
Germany's declaration of a war zone,
covering the high seas at some points
west Of Great Britain 400 miles from
the nearest beligerent coast, from
which all neutral ships are excluded !;
and especially Of Germany's formal an
nouncement that "all ships met within
that zone will be sunk"
This threat to destroy American ships
and American lives to whatever port
the ships may be bound and whatever the
character Of their cargo, if they come
at some boundaries Of the war zone
within 400 miles Of tho Irish coast, is
appropriately met by severance of diplo-
matte relations. The actual destruction
Of any such ship ON the high seas or OF
o single American life win be equiva-
lent to q declaration Of war by Ger
many.
Germany, by her persistence in pol
10y Of barbarous and ruthless destruc-
tiveness in defiance Of the rights Of
others. and especially by her threat to
KIN Americans on the high seas, has
compelled the United States to abandon
its neutrality, so carefully preserved
during thirty months Of conflict.
President Wilson has borne himself
well in this critical period. Behind him
stand all Americans who are worthy Of
the name American, with earnest hope
in their hearts that the country may
be spared the horrors Of war, but with
determination to shoulder that burden
cheerfu1ly and with patriotic enthusi-
asm, if necessary to protect the national
safety and to maintain the national
honor.
May the pilot Of the ship Of state
steer wisely through troubled seal

The District Bill.

The Senate committee has fulfilled ex-
pectations in tho handling Of the Dis
trict appropriation bill by returning the
measure to the Senate with amendments
which literally increase the allowances
for maintenance and provide for impor-
tant permanent improvements omitted
by the House. The bill as it passed the
House carried $13,443, 52e.66. The Sem
ate committee has added 81, Alt ,029, max
ing the bill now stand at Oh, $3.50, 55S. SO,
which is $2,10o,534 less than the Com
missioners estimates, but 81 1873 ,877.56
more than the appropriations for the
current year. In any case, 1t is assured
that the appropriations will reach the
largest point ever attained in the his
tory of the District, even though at the
Senate's figures it falls more than
100000 short of the possible appro-
priations under the terms Of the or
ganic act.
The committee has justified expecta-
lions by providing for an increase in
the pay of the District government
clerks, to accord with the proposed in
crease in the pay of the department en-
ployes This is an act of justice which
the people of the District heartily ap-
prove.
The notable additions to the bill in
clude $4,000 for the Gallinger mu-
nicipal hospital, to be placed on reser-
walton 10, near the Anacostia river, in
stead of the Upshur street site; $685., 600
for the Dean tract for a park; ssh y00o

The Senate and Revenue.
This is a news note /:

Ills Is d News uOL6.
Democratic members of the Senate
finance committee conferred last night
on plans for consideration Of the adj
ministration revenue bill which passed
the House Thursday. Hearings have
been asked and probably will be granted
on the provision of the bill for a tax
of per cent on net incomes of cor
porations in excess of an exempted
5000 and per cent profit on invest
ments. Many protests against the ex-
cess profits tax have been received"
As there were no hearings and prac-
tically no debate on the House side, now
that the bill has reached the Senate side
those in direct interest who desire to
say word on the subject should be
allowed the opportunity. There need
be no delay. When the measure is
ready for the full Senate the way can
be cleared for it.
These requests were probably held
back because of the record Of Congress
on the revenue question. It has been
years since the tariff, or even tenn
porary revenue proposition, received the
consideration due from the House. All
such measures have been hurried
through there, and sent to the Senate in
shape calling for revision, and have
been revised by the Senate. Some re-
visions have been in certain features
almost radical.
Tho Senate may make no change in
the present bill The time is short, the
emergency great, and the willingness Of
the majority party to take the respon-
sibiity very plain. But no harm can
come from discussion of the bill in
committee by those whose business will
be affected by it, and who therefore
should understand their subject. If they
can throw any light of value, the COM
mittee, and subsequently the full Sem
ate, should have the benefit.
Since this measure was conceived, a
new situation has arisen which is just
now the subject Of anxious discussion on
all hands. We may not need more
money than is now provided for in this
bill. Everybody hopes we may not. But
If We should; if we are drawn into the
world conhagration now raging, we shall
need very great deal more. This half
billion assessment may appear as a
bagatelle by comparison.
If that necessity arises the next Con-
gress must deal with it; and as the
House in that body will be almost even
ly divided on the tariff issue and CORE
lated issues, revenue raising will be an
important topic of the session. But not
to the denial Of whatever money is re-
quired for the new emergency. The
government in such circumstances will
be generously supported by both par
ties. A condition, not tariff theories,
will then confront rs, and must be
recognized.
