Work on the Cantonments.

It has been suggested that the first
6sntingents of the National Army be
utilized at the cantonments to advance
Ne work of construction, which has
heen delayed through lack of labor.
This is an excellent plan. The men
themselves are all efficient, though per-
1aps not trained artisans, and can do
much Of the work required. 1t will be

Cloture.

Cloture in the Senate was not applied
this time. Some other time. Just when,
and to what, we must wait to see. The
rule exists, and its object is plainly de-
elared.
Strictly speaking, however, it is not
cloture in the sense of bringing every
body up with a round turn and calling
the roll while you wait. 1t allows con-
siderable "rope." Much may be said
after its adoption. If combinations
against a measure are possible. good
management may bring them about after
the warning has been given.
The first application Of this rule will
be watched with interest. It viii be a
new feature in Senate procedure, and
intended as q rebuke of feature Of the
old procedure. And yet the old proce-
dure had great merit.
On the subject of debate the Senate
has been much mahgned. There was
never the amount Of irrelevant and un-
informing talk there described In gossip,

As a matter Of fact, great good often
came out Of the Senate's liberal allow
ance of time for discussion. Many i'm
portant measures received from the
House, or prepared by its own commit
tees. were improved by the Senate under
the thorough search for defects Its rules
permitted and encouraged. No impor-
tant measure for which the public was
asking was ever killed through unlim-
tied debate In that body.
In addition to running discussion, the
old rule promoted set speeches; and
some of the greatest of congressional
orations have been delivered in the Sen
ate Where tho time allowance is gen
erous, and no check possible, men with
messages to deliver take the more pains.

The Entente and the Peace Reply.

Though he does not speak for the Brit
Ash government. Lord Robert Cecil IN
his warm Endorsement of the President
note to Rome as fully expressive OF the
position of the allied powers probably
forecasts the adoption of that message
as the answer of the entente. 1t Will, IN
deed, he most gratifying if the other
nations now opposed to Germany should
adopt the American reply as expressive
of their views on the subject of peace
1t would make for clarity of under
standing, for concentration of purpose
and for a definition of the basic terms
upon which the war can be ended.
Lord Robert Cecil points out that
there is no inconsistency between the
Presidents note and the economic pol
dcy of the allies as declared at the Paris
conference. Those resolutions, he says,
were purely defensive and in no way
aggressive, having in view the necessity
for restoring the economical life of the
allies after the war and protecting
themselves against any aggressive and
miitarist commercial policy which might
be pursued by their enemies after the
restoration of peace. No peace terms
can prevent purely defensive economic
measures. No guarantees can be given
in advance of peace that the peoples of
the countries now at war with Germany
win not boycott her goods. The Presi-
dent can have had no thought in his
note to Rome of proposing to put the
peace terms upon a basis of such guar
antees.
It is reported from Rome that the
Pope is disappointed by the stand of
3his government, but that he is disposed
70 continue his efforts. just what can
be done in this direction to overcome the
fundamental obstacle now in the way of
peace, the Endorsement of the German
governments policies and practices by
the people of that country, cannot now
be seem If the Vatican accepts the
Presidents note as a correct definition
~ the ease logical appeal next to come
from Rome would be to the German peo-
NE themselves and not to the powers
That are waging defensive war against
he military autoeraey that misrules
them.

The Itinerant Pacifists.

Evidently what the pacifsts who have
been denied meeting place in Mime
sofa and are now in a distressed state
of mind over the question of point of
assemblage really want is the strong
arm of the government to protect them
in their denuneiation of that govern
ment. They want the object of their
criticism to afford them every facility
for uttering it. They want the United
States to assure them a meeting place
and full protection in their exercise of
"free speech" in order to hold up to
ridicule and contempt the present pol
ley of the United States.
This is most impudent proposition.
1t is evident that the people themselves
have no use for this sort of procedure.
They have no tolerance for paeifism
while the United States is making ready
to wage war that has been forced upon
it. When the Governor of Minnesota
declined to allow the pacifsts to meet in
that state the people of North Dakota
made it plain that their governor, in in
wiling them, had spoken without the sup
port Of public sentiment
II is now proposed that the paeifsts
come to Washington to meet. They are not
coming merely for the purpose of holding
a meeting. They need no meeting. They
are proclaiming their views broadcast.
Everybody knows what they are striving
for and what they represent. But what
they actually want is to compel the
United States to make an issue on their
right to meet, by putting it up to the
authorities here either to prohibit their
meeting or to grant them the protection
of the law in holding it.
Were it not for the danger of riot
it would be seemly to say to the pacifsts:
Come TO Washington if You will and
take your chances. If the people will
stand for You, treat you as insignificant
vaporers, tolerate you as of no impor-
lance and unrepresentative of any sub
stantial public sentiment, you will have
the protection of your own incense
quence. If the people will not stand
for You assuredly the United States or
the District of Columbia cannot assure
you protection in your mischievously in
tended propaganda from the righteous
indignation of the crowd. If you start
something by preaching sedition you
are to blame for any result
But it would be unseemly to allow
the assemblage of forces that it is we'll
understood are likely to lead to disor-
der. The problem that is put up to the
local authorities is not an easy one to
solve, but this is bridge that need not
be crossed Until it is reached. When
that point is attained at which decision
is necessary it can be confidently ex
pected that the decision will be wise
and just. The pacifsts are really more
trouble to themselves than they are to
the country

The Men Behind the Draft.

When Washington henors the Dis
triet's National Army quota next Tues
day it should pay its compliments to
the men who have labored SO faithfully
and so efficiently for weeks past in con
Quoting the procedure of the draft and
the selection of those who are to repre-
sent the National Capital. The mem
bers of these boards have performed a
public service that could not possibly be
adequately compensated. They have
worked early and late, sacrificing their
time and energies unstintedly in order
to make a speedy and correct examina-
ton of all the registrants required to NIL
the Districts quota. They have virtual
" had to learn a new business, and that
they have performed their tasks so
quickly and so efficiently is attributed
to their remarkable capacity for adjust
ment. The local boards have virtually
completed their work. and the board of
appeals is now engaged in reviewing the
claims for exemption and certifying
those who are finally accepted. 1t is
confronted with a tremendous task and
is diseharging il wonderfully well. It
is sitting as board of review on every
case, putting in more time daily than
many business man devotes to his i'm
mediate affairs. 1t is conscientiously
passing upon each application for ex-
emption, each appeal. whether from the
government or.from the registrant. and
in doing this it must examine in some
cases a score of documents to sift out
the facts. It must inquire into the do
mestic situation. the business circum
stances and the general standing of the
registrant. IT is a painful procedure,
and Washington should be most grateful
that the men who are discharging this
duty are so conscientious and thorough.
Next Tuesday let the community honor
them. all of the men who have been en-
gagged in this work of enrolment. as
we'll as the men who are selected for
service.
