The Finance Bill.

The American people will soon de-
eide the fate of the mighty money
measure that passed the House with
out a dissenting vote yesterday.
They will decide two moot ques-
tions: whether they can absorb $s,-
ooo, 100000 speedily, at a rate of in
terest no higher than the average
saving bank pays; and whether the
significance of the war as a battle of
gold and resources has been grasped
BY the nation.
No less an authority than Frank
A. Vanderlip is skeptical over the
ability of the country to absorb the
loan under the conditions specified
by Congress. Other experts in Wall
Street take the same view. Ameri-
can gold is a trifie unruly, a triAe
aspiring, not yet trained and dis
ciplined to the acceptance of 3 Ia
per cent when more is in reach.
The great money marts follow the
line of least resistance and of econ
omie logic even in war times. It
takes more than war stress to keep
money from its natural, predeter-
mined channel-that Is, where It can
earn the most.
Undoubtedly this barrier has been
discounted and provided for by Sec
retary of the Treasury McAdoo.
Possibly in appealing to the people
at large he may get response that
is doubted by financial authorities.
Or possibly he has In mind the &C
ceptance of some suggestions made
to prevent even the smallest posi-
bility of failure for the bond issue.
The bond issue should not fail in
the smallest degree. II is up to the
Treasury Department to prevent
such a catastrophe. If the govern
ment authorities need aid and coun-
sci, false pride should not prevent
them from seeking it, and without
delay.

A number Of people have been try
Ing to discourage the Confederate
Veterans Reunion, pointing out that
the time Is not proper for such a
demonstration. If there was ever a
time when such a reunion should be
held In Washington. Il Is now. The
sight Of those veterans who once
fought against the Union solidly
lined up now In its support will be
the greatest possible stimulus to the
younger men whom the country
needs at this time

Wake Up, America.

No more appropriate day could
be chosen by the patriotic citizens
of Washington for a "Wake-up
America Day" than next Thursday,
April 10. which is the anniversary of
the battle of Lexington, On that day
nearly. $50 years ago the people of
America had their first real awak-
ening as a people opposed to the
domination of another people.
The popularity of the movement
to set aside the day for patriotic dis
play which will stimulate recruiting
is gaining ground rapidly, as the
leading citizens of the city have in
dorsed it. The majority of the pas
tors of the city have pledged their
support of the movement by prom
ising to mention the subject in the
pulpit this morning and to urge their
congregations to aid in every way
possible to awaken the people to
the crisis which confronts the coun-
try.
There will be no elaborate pro-
gram of ceremonies, the idea of the
day being the dignihed devotion Of
everyone to the call of the country
and urging recruiting wherever pos
sible. In various parts of the coun-
try the people have risen in support
of the idea and in the New England
States it has been arranged to have
a courier in an airplane ride again
over the territory traversed by Paul
Revere on his famous ride back in
TVS.
Remember the date, Thursday,
April 10, and on that day give your
every effort toward increasing the
number of recruits for active ser
vice. If you are not able to enlist
yourself go to those who can and
urge them to join the colors, and in
that way do your bit to wake up
America.

United World.

The last stronghold of autocracy is
Germany, and the world is 1eagued
against It fighting the battle of
democracy.
Brazil and Bolivia breaking with
Berlin On successive days, with Ar
gentine soon to followl Here is new
grist Eor the pan-American mill, in
vigorating support for the Monroe
doctrine, new evidence that the
United States has not altogether fail
ed in seeking the confidence and 10y
atty of its Latin-American neighbors.
A week ago we te1t the reassuring
thrill of a new Anglo-American
bond; bond of the type which Am
basador Walter Hines Page calls
"the largest constructive political
need of the modern world" Today
we feel the thrill of a more strongly
sinewed, more vital pan-American-
ism. Truly the world Is banding to-
gether; east speaks to west, the new
to the old, in defense against that
ancient doctrine of the divine right
of kings which has blinded the eyes
of mankind through the ages, and
which we are only now beginning to
see in its true hideousness.
There can be no neutrality when
despotism, feeling the grip of the
new age at its throat, is running
amuck." Latin America is support
ing the United States, not only in
defense of its undoubted rights, but
to gain place at the peace council
which will come when the Hohen-
zollern lays down his sword. 1t is
highly important for every nation to
be represented at that council table,
for there the future of mankind will
be at stake, the fundamentals of
permanent peace based on interna-
tionalism will be laid. The nation
that has not done its bit for the COM
mon cause may be represented at the
conference, but it will be without
prestige, without influence.
The United States has destroyed
neutrality as a factor to be reekoned

that in the event OF a general attack by

person In those sections should be pre-

What would be the result IL bombs

Editor The Washington Herald: As
many OF the women Of today are doing
so much talking OF what they are going
to do in war and that they should be
given the vote as a reward II would
be we'll for them TO make a copy Of the
late Senator Daniels address, and not
only put It up where il would meet their
eyes daily. but commit il TO memory
and do all in their power to practice the
advice given. Make the home all right
and the rest must follow" Senator Dan
lei, OF Virginia, said at the Unveiling OF
a monument TO the memory Of Mary.
the mother OF George Washington, at
Fredericksburg. Va. May 10. 1894:
Home IL the pure original fountain
from which all patriotism must flow, Cn6
the stream can never rise above its
source. As woman is. the man is: as
the man and woman are, the home Is;
and as the home so the country. Show
me refined. enlightened, Virtuous and IN
dustrious homes, and ! will show you a
good government and great nation.
The nation is the aggregate; the homes
are the units; man is the huildCr. woman
the inspiration. Discuss constitutions, ad-
ninistrations, and politics as We may, the
outcome must depend upon the subsoil
they spring from. Make the home all
right and the rest must follow. This Is
a woman's mission.
"Our race, the youngest that has
framed a language. nodded q constitu-
ton, and made a name, has recognized
that mission and held It sacred"
1t may be that the women Of today do
not know what the women OF the South
land did during the war between the
States While the women OF the North
were not called upon TO make so many
sacrifices as the Southern wome they
too, did their duty as IL came them.
The women Of the entire count were
brave and helpful They went quietly
about doing their work, not Will bbare
OF trumpets and newspaper notortety,
nor demanding any reward for duty well
done.
1t would be well for the women Of to-
day to follow the example Of those who
were the real helpful ones OF the past;
not only those in the war between the
states, but those Of the Revolution, who
were the true helpmates OF the men who
made our country the greatest nation on
