There are many kinds Of "junk,' re-
garded as just too good to be cast into
the trash cans, but never quite good
enough to be used in any manner at
hong. The bags bear specific directions
as to the KIM Of goods desired. These
materials cumber the house and some
times cause the spread of insects. They
are worthless while kept in the house,
and may be put to some use elsewhere,
especially in bulk. To put these things
into the paper bags and hand them to
the collectors who will begin their
rounds next Monday will be to make
value ont of waste.
The four settlements always need
money. They never rise in their reve-
nues quite to the point of their necessi-
ties and opportunities for good work. A
clean sweep of the waste in Washington
by means of these 10000 paper bags
will doubtless yield them sum which
will enable them to carry their useful
cndcavors ahead and make the lives of
many families brighter and more whole
some.

the war They will continue to do SO.
They are voting supplies, and showing
every disposition to see the thing
through.
But we are not yet in what may be
called action-certainly not in our
stride. Until we strike that, no causes
for sharp divisions. are likely to arise.
But when We do strike that, should
causes for criticism arise, then politics
may come to the fore again.
Although both parties are supporting
the war, the democratic party is in full
control of the government. The war is
beginning under a. democratic admins
tration. The commander-in in chief of the
army and navy is democrat. The
Vice President and the Speaker of the
House are democrats. Democrats con-
troll the purse, and are shaping war
measures.
Naturally. therefore, if success is reg
istered in war matters in the coming
twelve or eighteen months. should hos
tilities continue that long. the democrats
will claim, and be likely to receive, the
credit
On the other hand, if things go wrong
in any material measure; if we fail to
serve. either in the raising of an army
or i'll the handling of one raised; if we
do not respond in every way as our Eu-
ropcan allies are hoping we may, the
blame will be placed on those in con
troll. and there will be plain talk on the
subject for effect on the congressional
campaigns next year. Then. press cen
sorship or no censorship. discussion will
take wide range, and pens and tongues
be busy everywhere.
This is the American way. We all
employ it. and we all enjoy it. A rad
ical change, though formally decreed,
could not be effected. Free speech and
free press are deeply socketed in our
scheme of government, and could not be
removed without disaster to the whole
structure.

Fill the Bags for Monday!

Seventy thousand paper bags have
been distributed in the houses in this
District within few days bearing an
appeal to the people to collect all the
waste materials-not foodstuffs- that
can be found on the premises. Begin
ming Monday these bags are to be col
lected and the goods thus gathered will
be sorted and baled, and the value will
be estimated. Part of the value will 90
to the service conducting the collections
and the disposal and the remainder, a
very liberal portion, will 60 to the four
social settlements in the District
Friendship House, Neighborhood House,
Noel House and the Colored Social Set
tlement-in equal installments.
These seventy thousand bags should
yield large return in goods and in
money for the four institutions that are
doing such an important and valuable
work for the National Capital. In prae-
tically every house there are goods that
have been cast aside and not finally dis.
posed of as trash or sold There are old
clothes, not fit for further wear, old
shoes. old rubbers, old hats and other
articles of apparel. There is old metal.

The East and West Fronts.

Gen. Maurice, chief director of mill
tary operations at the British war Of
fee, has stated that there is no indica-
ton of the withdrawal of German troops
from the eastern front for use in the
west. This is contrary to some indica-
tions that have appeared in the dis
patches that divisions have recently
been identified, by means of prisoners,
with those known to have been until
lately on the Russian front. 1t would
seem to be only reasonable to expect
Hindenburg to transfer a part of his
force from the east to the west, in view
of the fact that there is practically no
fighting on the Russian line and no in
dication of a disposition by the Rus
slams to renew the offensive in the near
future. It may be, of course, that the
German commanders take no stock in
the prospect of virtual armistice in the
east, but expect renewal of Russian
activity as soon as the ground is fit for
troop movements.
1t is quite important to know whether
troops from the Russian front have late
ly been brought into France, for if this
has been done on large scale it means
that the concentrated man power of Ger
many is not sufficient to break the force
of the British and French aggressive,
which is proceeding with gains notwiti-
standing prodigal sacrifices of life by
the German commanders.

Business and Revenue.

Both senators and representatives
should carefully consider figures and ar
guments now being presented by busi
ness interests to the Senate finance com
nittee on the subject of the revenue
measure. They are important in the
highest degree. They touch vital points
of what the government has now in
hand.
The measure was hastily knocked to-
gether Its character, indeed, suggests
confusion and a sort of hclplessness on
he part of the ways and means com
in.ttee. In substance, this is all but con
fessed by the members of the commit
tee. Some of them shut their eyes, swal
lowed their convictions and threw the
burden on the House. In turn the House
will throw the burden on the Senate,
and the Senate in turn will be tempted
to throw it in part on the conference
committee.
The government needs money-lots of
money-but ways must be left for the
earning of the money. If sources of
supply are injured or destroyed by leg
islation, the government will suffer.
When the goose is killed, golden eggs
are made impossible
Business should not. indeed cannot,
escape tribute. 1t must bear its share
of what the declaration of war has i'm
posed. But that share should be ad-
justed equitably. If it is not; if preiu-
dice enters into the matter; if class or
section injury shows in the assessments,
complications will follow and disaster
may be the end.
This is the time of times for organiz-
ing, not disorganizing, business. If ever
there was truth, there is the fullest
measure of truth now in the observa-
tion that business is business. The
country needs all sorts of business in
its business. Capital should be encour-
aged to do its utmost in its own and
the general behalf.
PAY as you go" is the right principle
of action, but necessarily has limita-
tions. In big things the future must be
drawn against. Otherwise, big things
would be impossible.
We are laying foundations for the
future in the biggest things we have
ever undertaken. Posterity is a part
ner. Why not, then, apportion the cost
of the enterprises so as to take pos
terity into full accounts Why should
this generation be made to pay beyond
its means or its beneftsi
There is time to set this matter right,
and the Senate should not neglect an
opportunity fraught with such deep and
general concern

Economy and War.
structure.

The American people must be careful
and economical in certain lines during
the war in order to conserve their re-
sources and make themselves capable to
the utmost of waging the fight in which
they are enlisted But this does not
mean parsimony. 1t does not mean self
denial to the point of the abandonment
of all purchases outside of the barest
expenditure for the absolute necessities
of life. The great need today is that
the food supply be husbanded. To this
end housewives must buy economically
and manage their kitchens carefully to
prevent waste. But it is not necessary
that the people of the United States
should go shabby or cut off their ex-
is no reason why they should change
their mode of life in any respect but
that relating to the food problem. There
is no shortage in other than food ma
terials such as to compel or justify
extraordinary economies.
There will be no national advantage
in economies that merely pile up the
personal savings of the people, unless
those savings are now or later needed
by the government in floating its war
loans. If by making a suit of clothes, a
pair of shoes and other articles of ap-
parel last longer citizen is enabled to
buy war bond his economy is prac-
teal and praiseworthy. But if that econ
omy merely gives him money to hoard
it is actually disadvantage to the coun-
try.
1t is of urgent Importance that the in
dustries of the United States be kept
going at normal rate. The mills and
shops and stores must be maintained.
There must be no general dislocation of
business. Yet such dislocation may
easily follow a countrywide curtailment
of expenditures on a mistaken notion of
economy. Cutting off so per cent of the
expenditure for clothing for instance,
would mean bankruptcy to many hun
dreds of merchants. This would react
most disastrously upon the economic sit
uation in general. 1t is true that if
large number of men are enlisted in the
war and set to work on the farms there
will be some business dislocation. But
that will not mean that it will be safe
to stop buying any but the .barest ne
cessities.

Concentrating the Allies, Business

Representatives of the allied govern
ments of Europe have agreed to pool
their American buying, placing their pur-
ehases in the hands of small commits
sion. possibly single man, in order to
check competition in bidding for sup
plies. This is undoubtedly a good busi-
ness move and will make for conser
walton of the materials and. of the funds
at the disposal of the powers. With the
demand for goods exceeding the imme-
diate supply competition is probable un-
less some check can be interposed. From
a strictly selfish point of view of the
American producer lively competition is
desirable, but there is a higher motive
now than mere profit making. The
United States is a party to this war, and
the welfare OF the allies is identical
with its own. We are supplying a large
part of the funds out of our own mock.
cts III loans to the foreign governments,
alongside of which we are now enrolled
against the Teutonic forces, and we must
conserve the resources of this grand al
lance carefully without respect to the
profits that may be made by individuals
or corporations. The concentration of
purchases in a single representative of
authority will insure the proper distri.
button of supplies. 1t will also make
for q better disfrihutiop of ordor, -.
thus will prevent congestion. At the
outset Of the war much trouble was
caused by the taking of orders by Ger,
tain companies in excess of plant ca,
paeity. with the result that it was nee.
essary to snblet contracts, or to build
extensions of plants, with inevitable de.
lays. With all these orders handled by
single representative of the buvinn
governments this condition will be
avoided.
