An American Destroyer Hit.

In sense the American destroyer tor
pedoed by a German submarine in the
war zone with loss of one life is the
first direct naval casualty of this govern
ment in the war. There have been
other deaths in the naval service in the
sinking of merchantmen with their gun
crews These do not rate strictly as
naval engagements. IN the present in
stance the warship was not destroyed,
but although badly damaged she made
her way to port, fact causing great
qualification at home. 1t is inevitable
that there should be some losses in the
naval force engaged in anti-submarine
work. That these little ships should go
through the campaign unscathed is i'm
probable. The submarine has certain ad-
vantages, even over the speedy and com.
paratively iuconspicuous destroyer craft,
but it is to be noted that this is the
first American war vessel to be tor
pedoed in six months of active service
in the war zone. That the American de-
stroyerS have accounted for some Ger
man submarines is known, though not
proclaimed in detail The balance is
greatly in favor of the American Navy.

The Juvenile Court Change.

The retirement Of Judge Iatimer from
the bench of the Juvenile Court is a
matter of regret. He has served the
District faithfully and valuably during
his term of duty in that difficult posi-
tion, in which he has had many trying
problems to solve affecting the moral
welfare of Juvenile members of the com
munity. His decision to retire from the
court to resume the practice of his pro-
fession compels a change which is in
no wise suggestive that there has been
any failure on his part in any respect
in the discharge of his duty. Judge
Latimer's successor, Judge Aukam, has
had an extended experience in the Mu-
nicipal Court and as substitute in the
Police Court, and his familiarity with
the judicial procedure we'll qualities him
for this new duty to which he is as
signed. The Juvenile Court has been
an invaluable help in the correction of
youthful delinquency, and it is crafty.

Judge Latimer's retirement care has
been taken in selecting his successor tc

and the principles that have prevailed

Everybody conceded that the vast profits
gathered by the manufacturers Of war
| munitions should be assessed literally
for supporting the war.
Opinion divided as to how much
| should be taken now. The House favor
ed heavy sum, citing European rates.
The majority of the Senate favored a
conservative sum, on the score that more
I could, and probably would, be taken
later. A fair compromise was effected.
Manufacturers of munitions should be
prompt to meet all assessments Of what
ever character made against them. Theirs
is business and theirs are possessions
that "look good" to those charged with
the duty of raising war revenue. They
likewise 'look good" to those assessed
for other things 1t is the only kind of
class legislation the war seems to JUS
tify; and it is going to Hast while the
war lasts.
Munitions plants are very valuable.
Munitions profits have been very large.
Enormous fortunes from that source
have been made in the past three years.
The figures may not tally with current
talk, but they are undoubtedly large.
Finding the money for the governments
big purposes is not an easy matter; and
nobody knows how rapidly the necessi-
ties may grow, or how far reach.
The new revenue measure is not as
clear in some of its terms as it might
be. There is complaint on that point,
and experts are busy with the obscuri-
ties. Attention of Congress at the regu
lar session may be called to some of the
matters in dispute. But the law as it
stands and while it stands must be
obeyed; and any attempt at juggling
with it by any taxpayer will be risky
and may prove an expensive perform
ance.

the worst, the blame is theirs. By
neglecting, or half-heartedly perform
ing, their civic duties they invite catas-

For these reasons the voters, every

such are involved, on party lines. Where

And this course will be the more i'm
perative next year because of the great
er Importance of next years elections.
A full House and third of the Senate
will be chosen in November, 1918, and
that body will make part of the record
upon which the next presidential cam
paign yill be waged. Moreover, it may
be in authority when peace is restored,
and be called upon to legislate upon
measures connected with the adjustment
of the country's affairs TO the new con-
ditions under peace.
Large numbers in this country are
complaining of denial of the vote,
and striving with all possible means to
secure it. And yet large numbers who
have the vote. and know its value. treat
it with Indifference, while others market
it for spot cash, and discredit both it

In the Midst.

In the MIDST.
We used to be so quiet down to Pohick
on the Crickl
We'd gather round the old hall clock
and listen to it tick,
Because it broke the stiffness as the
days went drifting by,
A stiffness that seemed reaching from
the earth clear to the sky.
But now, although we do not get the
hustle an the crash
Of the busy world of commerce where
the mighty engines dash,
We feel the thrill Of conflict, carried
from o distant shore.
Our hearts are beating, beating-and the
silence Is no more.
We hear the distant rifle fire, the burst.
ing Of the shell,
As We vainly wait the greetings Of the
boys we loved so well;
And when we close our eyes at night we
see the mighty glare
Confused and indescribable, with dan
ger everywhere
Imagination bears us to the thickest Of
the fray,
As our anxious thoughts keep turning
to the soldiers far away.
Though the old place seems SO lonely
where the autumn leaves lie thick
We are in the midst Of battle, down to
Pohick on the Crick.

Taxes,

This news note appeared in yester-
days Star:
internal revenue agents have report
ed the evasions of the special tax of 1917
per cent by munitions manufacturers
have totaled, so far, approximately $17,-
100000. More than sl0,o00,0O0 Of that
sum already has been recovered by the
government. The amount of tax volun-
tarily paid by the munitions manufac-
turers last year was approximately &c.,
100000. Field investigators, checking
the returns, notified them that in many
cases the amount was far below the sum
actually due the government. One of
the methods said to have been used in
returning minimum taxes was to charge
off large percentage of the value Of a
plant under the head of depreciation.
In some cases the entire value Of the
plant was said to have been deducted
from the profits Of the concern, repre-
sentations being made that at the end
Of the war the plants would be of no
further use. The practice is said to have
been quite general, and to have been
followed by some of the largest manu-
| facturers"
Ta1-dodging at this time is going to
be exceedingly difficult. The govern
ment needs money. Assessments are
heavy, but the people have money. Tax
collectors are instructed to be unusually
| vigilant. Such officials are numerous
enough to cover the field. The dodger
who succeeds in lodging will be an ar.
tist In that line.
The squabble between the House and
Senate over the war munitions tar was
confined to the rate. To the tax itself
| there was no objection in any quarter

Department Retirement Research.

1t is stated that as result of moro
than year of study the federal bureau
of efficiency will have ready for sub
mission to Congress at the next session
an array of figures showing the status
of over 100000 government employees
and the statistics of plans for their sys-
tematic superannuation retirement. The
hope is expressed that with this infor-
nation in hand Congress will proceed
without further delay to the enactment
OF some kind Of retirement legislation
that Will relieve the government service
from the congestion from which it now
suffers and grant justice to the en-
ployes.
Clerks pensions have been discussed
IN committees of the House and Senate
for many Congresses The matter has
been thrashed out from every angle Yet
legislation has been denied now on one
account and then on another, usually on
the score of inadequate informa ion
Now there will be no lack of facts, for
the study that the bureau of efficiency
has conducted has been exhaustive and
scientific. It will be possible from the
figures submitted to know precisely how
many government workers are now or
will henceforth be eligible for retire
ment; what the cost will be to the gov
eminent on varying scales of joint con
tribution, and what prospective efficiency
gain the retirement of superannuated
workers Will yield. Congress will have
no further reason for hesitation OF de-
lay.
This matter comes to a head At an
important juneture The government
service is now larger than ever and
working under the highest pressure in
American history. Thousands of new
employees have been engaged within
few months. While some of these will
perhaps leave the service after the war
pressure is over, undoubtedly the major
lty of them will remain, for the govern
ment's work cannot fail to show a large
net increase upon the restoration of
peace. 1t is important, therefore. that
this business plan for the governments
organization should be put to the point
of execution without further delay.
1t is always to be remembered that
this matter of pensioning the older
clerks is based upon both justice for the
clerks themselves and the interest of
the government, which stands to gain
immensely through the resultant in
crease in efficiency.
