Departmental Vacations.

Rear Admiral Earle, chief Of the
naval bureau Of ordnance, suggests in
his annual report suspension during the
war Of the regular leave Of civilian en-
ployes and the payment of cash COM
mutation for this loss Of resting time.
Legislation is necessary to effect this
change, and recommendation for its
enactment is presented. Unquestion-
ably it Is undesirable at time like this
to lessen the efficiency Of any Of the
governments munition works, and the
granting Of an annual leave Of one
month eannot tail to reduce the output.
The only way to prevent 1t Ii to in
crease the Force by a sufieiens per
centage to enable one-tweifth Of the
whole to leave work during each sue

Protect the Small Coal BUYERS.

Coal is coming into Washington now
at rate that should keep everybody
supplied. Yet complaints are heard on
all sides of the difficulty of getting
served, particularly with regard to the
prices charged for coal in small lots.
Fuel Administrator Weaver's problem is
to insure the equitable distribution of
this fuel and to prevent, as far as his
power goes, the charging of extortionate
prices
One of the commonest complaints is
that coal dealers discriminate between
customers, that some are given large
quantities, while others are forced to
wait for very small allotments. It is,
perhaps, too much to expect the dealers
suddenly to change their methods ana
fail to give preference to long-estab-
lished customers who have been the
mainstays Of their business for years.
Moreover, in view of the difficulties in
the way of delivery it is not unnatural
that dealer should wish to haul two
ton lot rather than two one-ton loads.
Yet in this emergency such practices are
conducive to suffering and the keenest
anxiety on the part of the people who
are kept in doubt from day to day as
to the source Of their fuel.
The greatest evil Of this situation lies
in the distribution Of coal in small lots
at grossly disproportionate prices. The
bushel rates are shockingly high, es-
pecially considering the fact that the
purchaser must do his own Hauling The
case should be just reversed, those who
carry away their own coal getting it
for less than those who have it deliv-
cred. If some Of the practices com
planned of are true the District should
take over a part at least of the coal dis
tributing business and establish munich
| pal yards at which coal will be sold at
cost to the people, particularly the small
buyers This would obviate the evil Of
excessive profits and would insure an
even distribution.
There can be no let-up in the vigi-
lance of those charged with the super
vision of the fuel supply and distribu-
ton. Life is hard enough to sustain
now with the. prices that prevail for
other necessities without proiteering in
the matter of fuel, which is going to be
increasingly requisite to sustain exist
ence during the next three months.

majority, sltnonsf u 1prgAl for tie
democratic saadidats had BEEN msds -
the President's name.
II is Hkewise true that the republicans
Of New York, state were in form Oh the
same day. Tammany's victory in town
somewhat obscured the fact that the
republican candidate for the attorney
generalshir- the only state Office IN tho
scaie-had nearly a hundred thousand
the best Of the poIl. And the repub-
Leans maintained their large majority
in the legislature. It was a republican
day in state affairs.
The war is not breaking down party
spirit in legitimate party affairs. Nor
will it. Nor should it. Although it has,
and while it lasts viii continue to have,
first cali on public interest, the war
need not Danish consideration Of do
nestle matters They viii remain i'm
portant and require attention. To
neglect them at this time, or at any
time soon, would be prejudicial to the
public welfare.
Both of the old parties should be on
their guard just now. A new party, rep
resenting unrest already considerable
and which may grow, is forming under
capable leadership and advertising large
purposes. Socialism is no longer re-
garded as fad, to be examined merely
with curiosity and then forgotten. For
one reason or another, it has been max
ing Roadway, and last month, in New
York and elsewhere, showed surprising
strength.
Its present aim is larger representa-
ton in Congress, where at present 1t
has but one representative. He is a
New Yorker. If possible, he is to be
returned to the next House and rein
forced by several others Of his faith
from that state, and several from the
middle states and the northwest. So
eialism wants firm foothold in ma
tional affairs, for trading purposes in
Congress, and, later, for effect on the
next presidential contest. And this
third party is worth the attention of the
two old parties.

The Austro-Hungarians.

President Wilson's proclamation of
a state of war between the United
States and Austria Hungary under the
act of Congress passed last week estab-
fishes a material distinction between
German alien enemies. and subjects
and citizens of Austria Hungary now
in the United States. 1t places the lat
ter where the Former were before the
recent proclamation which excluded
thenf from certain areas and put them
under virtual state of internment with
registration and regular reports. The
promise is held out, in effect, that so
long as these Austro Hun garians now in
the United States remain loyal to this
country in act and speech they will be
permitted to enjoy the same immunity
from molestation and restraint now ac-
corded them. They hold their own
future in their hands. Thus large num-
bcrs of Austro- Hungarians of unques-
tionable loyalty TO the United States
are enabled TO remain here without re-
straint or embarrassment, continuing
their work as though no breach had oc-
Cured between this country and the
government TO which they legally owe
allegiance 1t Is to be presumed that
the government win treat the cases of
the Austro Hungarians Discriminatory
not visiting npon the entire body the
sins of some who may commit breaches
of loyalty. 1t would be unjust to de-
prive the whole body of Austro Hun
garians resident in this country Of
means Of gaining livelihood and OF
right Of domicile simply because very
few violate the hospitality of the United
States and engage in harmful propa.
ganda or practices.

11th st. and Pennsylvania Avenue.
Two House Promotions.

Mr.. Sherley for chairman of the APP
preparations committee and Mr.. Sims
for chairman Of the interstate commerce
committee are excellent selections. Both
have served long in the House. Both
are familiar with the subjects they will
be called upon to handle. And those
subjects have taken on increased i'm
portance by reason of the war APP
preparations have mounted to the skies.
No such figures have ever before been
considered by Congress. Interstate
commerce is now foremost problem,
with war as well as peace connections,
1t is noteworthy, too, that both Mr..
sherley and Mr.. Sims are friends of
the President and supporters of his
policies. They viii work in harmony
with him. And in war matters harmony
between the legislative and the execu-
tive branches of the government IS
highly important. There is so much to
be done. and so much Of it of unfamiliar
character, working at cross purposes
would be expensive to the people.
Mr.. Sherley has long been an advo-
cate of budget. He has probably given
more attention to the subject than any
other national legislator. He has work
ed it out with care, and presents it per-
suasively. If these were peace times his
promotion might operate in the inter
est of the adoption of budget plan
But the war times are not favorable
to that reform. Estimates are extreme
ly difficult Income and outlay fiuctu-
ate. The governments needs must be
supplied, whatever they may be. If
money is lacking, more must be raised.
The government is now a heavy Dor
rover. 1t cannot live within its means.
Mr.. Sheriey. southern man, succeeds
Mr.. Fitzgerald, northern man. Mr..
Sims, a southern man, succeeds Mr..
Adamson. another southern man. But
section had nothing to do with either
selection. Both promotions rest on
merit and seniority. Both are compe-
tent men and succeed competent men.
And, just now, sectionalism cuts much
less than its usual figure. 1t is very
little considered. All public men are
today thinking nationally more than
ever.
There is nothing disturbing, there
fore, in these two changes. Rather is
the country assured of good work under
the direction of two men who know the
ropes, and bring to their places the con-
fdence and respect Of their legislative
associates.

A Grim Duty Of War.

Trust the German general staff to at
tend to details. There is no lack of
particulars in any instructions given to
German officers sent forth on war
duty That has been evidenced repeat
eddy in the course Of the last three and
quarter years, az Germans have hewn
their way through neutral countries and
invaded other lands, terrorized the peo-
pie, destroyed property, slain non-com-
batants and committed endless acts of
barbarism, all ON schedule and by cata-
logue. On the other side the account are
now shown instructions of a different
nature. The officers who are sent forth
to negotiate with the Russian peace
commissioners were charged explicitly
with their course of conduct. Here is
the instruction given by the German
general staff, according to a Petrograd
newspaper. The veraeity OF these or
ders may not be questioned. THEY are
assuredly in consonance with the Ger
man talent for moral camoufage:
at may happen that at the first meet
ing the Russian delegates will attempt
to kiss the negotiators They must be
prepared for that, and if the commander
in-chief, Ensign Krylenko, rushes
toward them with open arms they must
in turn press him, to their hearts and
say repeatedly: Tavarish' {comrade).
The fatherland demands this sacrifice
of the negotiators. They should also
have at their tongues ends the, following
favorite Russian phrases: Universal
democratic peace; peace without an
nexations and contributions
One cannot fail to feel sense of
sympathy for the German officers sent
to the Russian front charged with the
task Of kissing their whi1om enemies
with phrases of comradeship. They |
would probably infinitely prefer to be
employed in Italy forcing the women |
and children of the occupied territory |
TO march ahead Of advancing troops as
a screen against Italian fire.
