Relief in Sight.

The movement for increased pay
for government and District employees
moved yesterday within the shadow
of victory.
Differences between the House and
the Senate on the question exist only
in matter of degree in the measure
of relief that seems imperative for the
lower-paid employees of both the gov
ernment and District.
On the merits of the question that
the employees are entitled to an in
crease, both the House and Senate
by an impressive majority, agree.
The Washington Herald has fought
pcrsistently for the employees. 1t has
never maintained that the schedule ot
increases offered by the House or the
Smoot amendment passed by the Sen
ate is the equitable solution of the
question Of salary readjustrrent. II
has maintained, with the cnpoyes
that either schedule would offer immc-
diate relief to underpaid workers and
was desirable from that standpoint.
The compromise plan, which will
probably be enacted, is acceptable to
the government employees and ought
to be written into law.
When the history of the Sixty,
fourth Congress is written, posterity
will concede that it was abreast with
the spirit of the times if it reads thai
the nationwide movement to give
employees portion of the prosperity
that the country enjoys, was recog
nized by the government.
Inequalities in salaries. exist in the
government service. They will con
tinue to exist until such time as there
is scientific reclassi6cation of EN-
ployes and the character of servic,
they render. go
Such reclsssifcation involves timt
and exhaustive study. 1t ought to bt

is essential for the low-salaricd en-.
ployc. The proposed increase fur.

Describing 'abominable Prussianism'
as state of mind against which the
world is at war" Mr.. Oswald Garrison
Willard presents the pacif1st plea in its
best light when he says he does not be-
lieve that states OF mind are thrashed
out of nations any more than they are
thrashed out of people. This is a very
clear cut statement of exactly what is
believed by those who foresee in the over
throw OF Prussian militarism the only
way to preserve civilization from the
lethal blight of concentrated autocracy.
and the only guarantee OF the future
progress of humanity in paths of peace
toward the ideals OF liberty and democ-
raCy.
For states of mind can be thrashed out
of nations as they can be thrashed out
of people. provided such states of mind
are in opposition to the eternal principles
of justice Inherently instructive in svery
rational being. However dormant such
principles may be, a sound thrashing
given in their defense calls the attention
of the unbelieving nation or person to
them, awakens the national or individual
conscience to their truth. and acceptance
is followed by an abandonment of the
former viewpoint.

Should war come, the man on whose
shoulders the safety of this nation would
be borne is Admiral William s. Benson
His hands would write out the orders to
attack, and he and his advisers would
direct the movement OF our feet. Since
he was II years old Admiral Benson has
been preparing for the emergency which
the United States may face. He is about
81 years old now. And yet there is per
hsps no public figure in America about
whom so little Is known.
Admiral Benson is a Georgian. He
was next in rank 10 Admiral Dewey at
the time of the lstter's recent death He
fought his way TO that Position without
influence. One thing has brought him
to the head of the navy-unswerving de-
votion to duty
His modesty and retiring disposition
have helped keep his face and life out
of the spotlight OF publicity. There is
little Of bluster about him, such as is as
sumed by some men in military life. His
personality is not striking. His face Is
not that OF a fighting man. But he has
a strong, honest face, and in his kindly
soft blue eyes there is a suggestion OF
confidence and vigor and a calm which
would meet any emergency without
finchng. Those who have talked with
him say that Admiral Benson leaves the
impression that he would rather be a
farmer. leading a pastoral life, than any
body else.
In 1872 Admiral Benson was appointed
10 the Naval Academy as a midshipman
from Georgia. He was one of the first
Southerners to enter the institution fol-
lowing the end Of the civil war. His first
duty afioat was as Junior officer of the
old Hartford. then the flagship Of the
South Atlantic Fleet. He was with the
Hartford two years. Then he was trans
fCrred to the Essex of the same fleet.
When he was dcta ched from that ship
and ordered home he already was cOnsid-
cred an officer Of great executive ability
and unusual Judgment
For six months Benson was on duty
at the Brooklyn Navy Yard. He soon
was ordered to sea a second time, and
was on board the Yantic when that ship
made its historic expedition for the re-
lief of Maj.-Gen. Adolphus Washington
Greedy, the polar region explorer. On
the return OF the relief expedition Bep-
son. then a captain. was again given
shore leave and assigned to duty under
what was then known as the Navy Ad-
visory Board. In 1855 he Joined the
dispatch gunboat Dolphin, in those days

when he wanted to get away from the
politicians, think out big problems. or
hunt ducks on the coast of South
Carolina
After circling the globe on the Dol
phin, Benson was sent TO the Naval
Academy as an instructor. Subsequently
he served in the Washington Navy Yard,
with the Coast Survey. on several ships
and again at Annapolis as commandant
of midshipmen. His most recent sea
service was as captain of the super
Dreadnought Utah and, temporarily, as
the commander OF the first division Of
the Atlantic Fleet He knows the war
ship game from top to bottom. During
the SOS he inspected the material for the
construction OF the first modern fighting
vessels, and has had a hand in the
building of our navy OF today and the
training of the men who man It.
Today Admiral Benson lee in a way
what the English would call the First
Lord Of the Admiralty" We call him
Chief of Operations" In the spring of
1915 Congress enacted that there should
be chief of naval operations. who should
be charged with the operation of the feet
and the preparation OF plans for its use
in war. The selection and assembling
of the parts OF this machine, its planning
and operation was the Job which Ad-
miral Benson faced

If Secretary Lansing had not asked the

Pacffsts and Other.
New York Tnbune)


We confess that we cannot get excited
over the contortions and rhetoric of the
out-and-out pacifists. These simple peo-
pie do not worry us. Their extravagance
OF speech and their transparent Innocence
OF thought make them compa rat lively
harmless.
Such talk is its own antidote.
we have no fear of the American pacifists
who are waiting to prove how many in
suits they can take from the Kaiser's
subalterns without batting their eyes.
The only pacifists we are concerned about
are pacihsts under cover-those who are
too clever to make open confession of
their abasement of spirit. but who do the
work Of pacifism under the cloak of high
sounding professions of regard for ma
uonal honor.
while talking war, prepare for peace" "
Is the motto of a school of public men
more dangerous than any group of su-
per-honest Emergency Peace Federation
lists. While talking defense of national
rights these under-cover pacifsts are
planning to dodge the annoyances and in
conveniences of any real defense. They
are the true enemy in the household
more subtle and more insidious than all
the Bryans and the Muzzeys who could
be let loose TO preach nOnresistance as the
highest duty OF good Americans.

The New Republic

AS this paragraph is written the record
since February lst Is as follows: German
submarines have destroyed one American
ship with amazing courtesy. fifty-seven
enemy ships, and thirty-four other neu-
trail ships. The small nations have
therefore suffered "a per cent of the dam
age. In addition American ships. with
few exceptions, are in port, terrorized
How much other shipping has been fright
ened away We have no way of estimat-
ing, But II is probably no exaggera-
tion to say that IL we add together neu-
tral ships sunk and neutral ships ter
roriZed, the war against neutrals Is as
drastic as the war against the belliger-
ents. Germany Is making a new and
greater Belgium of the high seas. THIS
is the overt act and IL is plain as day.
II may produce no outrage as spec
tacular as the Lusitania. That is only
because terrorism is successful. For what
is happening on the ocean Is what hap
pened after Belgium The lesson OF
frightfulness has been learned. Just as
Holland and Scandinavia dare not re-
sist Germany on land with Belgium be-
fore their eyes, so neutral shipping is
running away from the submarine out
OF sheer terror. This is the fact which
our government must recognize and act
upon, for this will be an evil world
In which to live If all neutrals must
skulk because one nation scowls.
