ENGLISH AVIATOR ESCAPES
CAPTURE BY KEEN STRATEGY

PARIS, France.-The special cor
respondent of the Petit Parisien on
the British front has a. story obtained
from a German prisoner that an Eng
lish aviator descending from the sky
landed gently near Beche sentinel.
The aviator asked him in the purest
German where the officer in command
of the Gothas was to be found say
ing that he had an urgent message
for him.
:, The sentry replied: The herr com.
rnandant of the Gothas lives where the
Gothas are, but the herr lieutenant
knows that"
Yes, by lad" replied the aviator,
but in the fog have missed my way,
and now l am lost"
"Ah, yes, know the same thing
happened the other day to Herr Won
Schultz, my captain the sentry,
with the greatest Difference, forthwith
give directions how to get to the
Gethas.
The aviator had hardly taken to
flight again when the sentinel noticed
to his horror the British marking on
the planes.

In commenting on this case, more
than one man said to me. Such TRACE
dies as this very seldom happen when
the girl has a big brother. A brother
near her age would have seen with
whom this girl was going about, and
would have known that the boy was
a bad lot, and put stop to 1t. He
would have been able TO protect her
as her father was not able to do"
The object of the LEADERS OF the
Way" IS to guide and protect their
own brothers and sisters. This is
we'll, but may we not hope that they
will also see that We are all brothers
and sisters, and that they will deal

ters as they wish others to deal with
theirs"
Then. indeed, will the Leaders OF

Of discussing the Conscript law, and

out Of the States to which they be-

the Union, suppress instruction and
repel invasion, and
VIII ereaS we most respectively con-
tend that the Government has no
constitutional authority to adopt and
enforce any law requiring a citizen
against his will to serve in the
army and navy, and
Whereas we contend that such
law would violate the Thirteenth
Amendment to the Constitution,
Therefore be it resolved in exer-
else of our constitutional rights, we
respectfully petition Congress to pass

NEBRASKA'S VOICE

We are inclined to think that the
real voice of Nebraska was heard at
the Nebraska Society dinner in
Washington last night, and that
Richard L. Metcalfe gave it utter
ance. Mr.. Bryan seems to have con-
fined his remarks to a general in
nocuous statement concerning the
relative advantages of moral force
and brute force. Mr.. Metcalfe de-
clared that the people of Nebraska
were for complete military and naval
preparedness, for universal military
training and against that "silliest of
things" a referendum on war. His
declaration that ''the nation that
murders my people is no friend of
mine" received an amount Of ap-
plause from Nebraskans present that
might well reach the auditory nerves
of the two Senators from Nebraska,
of pacifist and pro-German proclivi-
ties.

FEDERAL AID TO EDUCATION

One of the inspiring notices of the
English people after the outbreak of
the European war was Business as
usual" Amidst the stirring news of
worldwide Importance, domestic con-
Germs should not be forgotten. Frank
ly for publicity purposes, but with
the idea of engaging in war against
American illiteracy that will not
cease until every American child has
equality of opportunity in the pub
lie schools, bills were introduced in
the House and Senate yesterday pro-
viding for. Federal aid to education
on q scale never before proposed.
Senator Hollis of New Hampshire
and Representative Abercrombie
of Alabama, formerly president of its
State University, are the respective
sponsors Of the bill in House and
Senate.
A committee of hundred Ameri-
can educators and publicists and
business men L. being organized for

promoting these bills until they are
enacted into law. They will be
pushed at the next session of Con-
gress. The precedents have been al
ready set during this Congress in the
passage of the Smith-Lever and
Smith-Hughes bills for Federal aid
to agricultural and industrial edu-
cation.
No matter what Of sacrifice the
American people may be called upon
to endure in the worldwide war to
whose verge we have been brought,
the interests of American children
must not be sacrificed. 1t is with
the desire of fixing that thought in
mind that the bills for Federal aid
10 education have been introduced.

THE JUVENILE COURT BILL

A great deal Of time and atten.
ton has been given to the framing
of the bill now in conference be-
tween the two houses. A Presiden-
tial commission. various children's
societies in and out of the District,
and two committees of Congress
have threshed the matter out, and
there are no such differences be-
tween the House and the Senate bill
as to justify any failure to agree
upon a conference report that can
be adopted at once.
The continuance of the present an
tiquated law upon the statute books,
with its tainting of juvenile. delin-
quents with criminality, is a dis
grace that should not be perpetuated.
Such matters in controversy as
whether the Board of Children's
Guardians shall be appointed by the
judge of the Juvenile Court or by
the President; whether the detention
home shall be continued under police
auspices or under the Board of Chill
dren's Guardians, are after all small
matters.
Amendments in the future can
correct any mistakes that are proved
to be such by experience. Let the
conferees get together and give US
a juvenile court law under which the
young offenders of the District can
be corrected and shielded from Grim
inal taint. Some body or bodies will
be stamped with opinionated ineffi-
cheney if the bill should now fail.

JUST LUCK

Americans need not be too quick
to congratulate themselves on the
fact that the Orleans, Rochester
Philadelphia, and Finland have
steamed past the "Verboten!" sigr
unharmed.
The U-boat commander who tor.
pedoed the Laconia disclosed to sur
vivors drifting in lifeboats that he
neither knew nor cared about the
identity Of the ship before he fired
upon her.
OF greater significance than the
escapes to date is Germany's refusal
to guarantee the safe passage home
of the Cesar and Des Moines, ves-
sells of the United States navy, now
delivering relief supplies to the
Syrians and Armenians.
The Washington times., 1917-03-02
WITHDRAWAL FROM ANCRE
TRENCHES

Almost for the first time in the
course of the war the German forces
have voluntarily retired from an in
trenched line. On a front of some
eleven miles west and south of Ba-
paume they have withdrawn to a
depth of nearly two miles. They have
allowed the British to advance un-
opposed within about a mile of the
outskirts of Bapaume. The ground
they have thus ceded exceeds in ex-
tent all the gains wrested from them
by assault since the Bapaume often
sive began six weeks ago.
The retrogression has been seized
as the first sign of the ebb tide of
Prussians in the west. In this as
pect it is a striking event, less so
perhaps than the greater involun-
tary losses suffered in the past eight
months on the Somme and at Yer
dun. For in this case the sea did not
start to ebb of its own accord; it
was swept back with bayonets.
The significance of the retirement
must be reckoned on more precise
considerations. If the German re-
treats from trench positions have
been few it is because such opera
tions are attended with risk and diff
Guilty and fail to offer in most cases
any improvement to the defensive
position commensurate with the loss
of the elaborate works relinquished.

man withdrawal occurred at Chau-

THE SITUATION CLEARING


still holds; there were thirteen votes
against the House bill giving him
power to arm merchant ships. The
thirteen served to render the vote of
403 for the bill impressive by way
of contrast. The bill goes to the
Senate with the understanding that
the Senate will try to amend it by
adding the "other instrumentalities"
which the President desires TO use
without restriction. Whether under
the new conditions arising from the
exposure of the German note to the
Mexican government, the Senate will
grant the request, is an open ques-
ton.
Senator Lodge, speaking for the
Republicans, declared that an extra
session of Congress was desired.
The Democratic leaders of the House
have already sent out hurry call
for all members and members-elect
to be present on March 6.
The Senate debated most of yes
terday the Zimmerman note under
a resolution of the Senate requesting
the President to. send it such infor-
nation about it as was not deemed
incompatible with the public inter-
est. Several Democratic Senators
seized the opportunity, to criticise the
giving out of SUCH information to
the public. Senator Stone and Sena-
tor O'Gorman, the latter retiring on
March 4, gave utterance to their pro-
German and anIi-British views.
We doubt if anybody outside of
bedlam really imagined that the note
was a British forgery. The Stone
amendment received such scanty
courtesy that its author withdrew it
by accepting the substitute which
was adopted. The President promptly
confirmed the information that the
note is authentic, and is in the
possession of the State Department,
and stated that IL reached him this
week.
The Senate nearly finished consid-
GRAFTON of the naval appropriation
bill and reached an agreement to
vote on it today at o'clock. So
the La Toilette threat of filibuster
at. this point ends.
The real test will come in the dis
cussion of the bill to arm Sthe mer-
chant ships. If a filibusuer is begun on
that measure, it will amply Justify
the President for his disinclination
to ask this Congress to take such
measures for the vindication of
American honor and rights as will
amount to a declaration of war with
Germany.
Doubtless he will Immediately ex-
ercise the right TO arm ships which
he claimed as belonging to the Ex-
ecutive under the plain implications
of the Constitution. If Congress, by
the opposition Of the recalcitrant
few, shall decline to make this much
of a movement toward the defense
of merchant vessels against piracy
and murder of noncombatants, the
people of the United States, united
now in fact, will take the measure
of those who are responsible for
blasting the counsels of the brave
in the hour of their might"
1t is inconceivable, now, that the
President, with the nation solidly be-
hind him, will long delay the step
that shall end the present position
of uncertainty and supine surrender
to Prussian frightfulness.
