4 A representative Of the Associated
Press. who has Just returned here from
a visit to the large internment camp at
Dorchester, where approximately 1900
German prisoners are quartered, is en-.
abled to present many interesting side
lights on the German viewpoint as re-
ported by men Of all types who have
fought with the German forces on land
and sea and In the air. These may be
summarized as follows:

Greece Breaks Relations.

Premier Venizelos has lost no time
in putting Greece in line with the en-
tente powers after his official advent
upon summons Of King Alexander. The
promptness with which diplomatic re-
latioas with Germany, Austria Hungary,
Bulgaria and Turkey have been severed
indicates that q policy of actual particle
patton in the war as belligerent had
been determined upon with the dismissal
Of King Constantine. 1t was thought
that perhaps Greece would remain of1-
ciaHy neutral, for time at least, under
the new regime. but this would have
been merely time-serving policy, Of
no advantage to Greece or to the allies.
In view of the military situation the
actual alignment of Greece with the en-
tente is the most honest position that
can be taken. Greece is psed as q mill
tary zone and her ports as military
bases. The immediate problem in Greece
is to bring together the military fac
tons, and to this Venizelos is already
addressing himself. As soon as this 10
accomplished the chief obstacle to .
general offensive in Macedonia will
have been removed.

usual in that it was rendered possible
only by the vote Of one member Of the
commission, who, evidently against his
Judgment, Joined three Of his colleagues
to prevent tie, the commission being
one member short through recent
death. This fast does not in any degree
lessen the conclusiveness Of the ruling,
though it does encourage the railroads
to reopen the case at the end of the
time set by the commission. Evidently
Judge Clements successor on the COM
mission will WELD an exceptional de-
gree of power for a new member, and
the situation this decision discloses
makes it imperative that he should be
chosen with the utmost care.
According to the ruling of the COM
mission the railroads are in no danger
of losses at present, and the war
situation, rather than handicapping
them, is actually an aid through the ma
tional needs in the transportation OF
troops. 1t is the hope Of the country
that this ruling will not lead to any
shortage of service. The country has
within the past few years suffered from
inadequate railroad service, due, the
roads themselves have contended, to in
ability through reduced earnings to
maintain tracks and rolling stocks and
power up to the requirements Of the
shippers. It must be assumed that the
majority Of the interstate commerce
commission sees no ground to apprehend
any handicapping Of the railroads in the
near future through lack Of adequate
revenue.

The Freight Rate Decision.

Yesterdays decision by the interstate
commerce commission on the railroad
freight rates is to be interpreted as =
postponement rather than . denial Of
the increases asked by the lines. Ger
tain advances are permitted in particu-
lar classes Nnd to particular groups Of
roads, amounting to somewhat less than
the Is per cent for which the companies
had applied. The roads are estopped
from asking again for increases until
October rs, when the matter may be re-
opened, presumably in the light Of the
change Of conditions between seasons.
By that time the war preparation work
in this country viii have been fairly ad-
justed and conditions viii be more stable
than at present.
This application Of the railroads for
higher rates was exceptional In that II
was seconded by large groups Of chip
pers, who took the ground that better
freight schedules would enable the
roads to render better service. The

Politics.

Now and then somebody-usually a
person who has been on tour through
the country-auggests 1920, and with
special reference to the right man to
head the next republican national ticket.
1t seems to be assumed that Mr.. Will
son will either stand for third term, or
name his party's candidate. He has
great party prestige today, and, Of
course, will strive to preserve it. He is
scheduled for stirring times in the next
three years. IF he holds his own, and
particularly if he adds to what he now
holds, he should hold among other
things the next democratic national con-
vention in the hollow Of his hand,
,, "Name me, or name my man." may be
his form of nudging the convention as
to his idea Of its duty.
Whoever the democratic candidate
may be-Mr. Wilson or another-he will
receive the full support of the admin
istration. Those in Office by appoint
ment from Mr.. Wilson will take their
cue from the White House. If Mr.. Will
son runs again, the third term tradition
will not influence them; if he names
the nominee they will do their utmost
for him.
In either case the republicans, it is
suggested, will have their hands full,
and must measure the situation with
care.
The west, it is stated, expects to fur
nish the man. The east must content
itself with second place. The campaign
Of 1912 shows that the west must be
fought for; and successful fight can
only be waged under western leader.
ship.
To this may be expected the reply
that it was the west that defeated
Hughes; that the east supported him
with enthusiasm; that Hughes carried
not only his owD but Wilson's state
and would have had an easy time il
western states, long republican and con.
sidezed safely % that year, had not with.
out cause jumped the reservation. Does
the west expect q reward for that rec,
ordf And 20 forth.
The war has not entirely eliminated
politics, as several by-elections recently
held have shown. But it is over soon
to be discussing 1920. So much lies
between this time and that. So many
changes are possible. Issues may rise,
and die, and leave nothing behind
Men may rise, and flourish, and pass out
of the picture, the mere heroes of a
day. The veil Is too thick for penetra-
tion.

The President and Beer.

Senator Martin was one of those who
called at the White House yesterday to
discuss the food bill with the Presi-
dent. This is taken from the news
story:
president Wilson expressed to Sena-
tor Martin his hope for prompt action
upon the bill and anxiety over the pros
poets Of delay from the prohibition is
sue. The President, it was said, as a
compromise on prohibition, suggested
the plan to give him authority and re-
sponsibility to decide whether beer and
wine making shall continue. 4 told the
President 1 was against such procedure,
said Senator Martin. Il said Congress
itself has the responsibility and should
act-not pass it along to the President
The Virginia senator's position is alto
gether sound. If beer is to be prohib-
tied it should be done by Congress. Tho
question is of Importance from both the
moral and the economic standpoints.
Congress should decide it from both, and
particularly from the latter. Financing
the war devolves upon Congress; and all
moneys raised should be by its express
and distinct order.
To "pass it along to the President"
will mean that beer wins. Congress. un-
der pressure, will have lodged, and the
same pressure will at once be trans
ferred to the White House. It is ex-
eeedingly strong, politically, financially
and in other ways, and the President
will feel its full strength-feel it in cir
cumstances giving beer the advantage.
The war is on. revenue is necessary, and
beer is good revenue producer.
It may be that Senator Martin, as q
member of Congress, believes, as many
others do, that too much is being passed
along to the President; that as he is ex-
pected to rise to all the requirements Of
the present unprecedented emergency 50
should Congress rise to them. Undoubt-
eddy, the President is heavily burdened.
although not complaining on that score,
and willing to bear more. But he should
not be asked or permitted to bear any
burden which properly should be fitted
to the shoulders Of Congress. Congress
should "tote fair" with the President.
This matter Is Of the greater weight
because Of the doubt attaching to the
question Of the length Of the war. We
have just entered the struggle, and are
advised by some Of eur allies that W
may expect a COED deal Of heavy work.
A. we are preparing for what ID thus
Get before us. we should arrange every
thing with the utmost csre, overlooking
neither Congress nor the President. If
there are years Of war yet to come, We

and in order to do our part we'll and
successfully we must proceed with due
regard for the governmental instrument
talities at our command. and with which
we are familiar.

When we set about filling a war chest
we poured $1,000. 100000 into it as .

million young men from which to
choose. Red Cross necessity presented
itself, and 90 we raised more than a
hundred million dollars for that in q

have been q bit slow In starting. but
before long we shall have that project
