The Hospital Ship Charges.

The allegations Of bad conditions
on the hospital ship Solace should
lead quickly to inquiry and cor
rection, if there is any basis for the
charge that men on board that vessel
are neglected and exposed to infection.
The allegations are almost incredible. If
sick seamen Of the American navy are
treated as the statement read yesterday
in the Senate declares the naval admin
istration is shamefully derelict. Until
the facts are brought clearly to light,
however, it is desirable that judgment
be withheld. Now that the broad charge
has been spread forth in public, the in
quiry should likewise be in the open. It
will be most unfortunate if any effort
is made to keep the facts secret, es-
pecially if there is no justification for
the present allegations. Promptly and
publicly an investigation should be I'M
dertaken, with a determination to reach
the truth, to clear the naval hospital ad,
ministration if there is no truth in the
charges and to cause an immediate cure
Of the evil conditions If there is any
basis in fact.

Memorial Day.

Memorial day, 1917, finds the nation
at war and takes on new significance.
The ceremony of strewing with flowers
the graves of those who have fallen in
the country's defense becomes now a
rite of the most tender meaning as we
face a new trial, certain to impose new
sacrifices upon the people, with doubt
less many additions to the graves of the
soldier dead
That this nation will face its duty and
discharge it faithfully and successfully
no, one doubts. In the service the Amer
lean people are about to render to the
cause of humanity much blood will be
shed, much treasure expended, many
sorrows inflicted. Homes will be desc
lated by losses. We cannot pass through
this trial of democracy without paying
a heavy price. -, So
But high spirit of devotion animates
the people today. The cause for which
the United States has entered the world
war is just, the need is urgent. The
graves Of the men who fell in the war
Of over half a century ago, and who,
serving in the ranks Of the armies Of
that time, have passed since peace came,
are tokens now of the duty that is laid
upon the present generation.
A year hence there will be more graves
to decorate, and there will be no north
or south or east or west in the observ-
ance of national MEMORIAL day. But
every new grave, every new sacrifice on
the. national altar, the altar of democ-
racy, will be an inspiration to the people
of America to press onward in the fight.
if meanwhile peace has not been crown
ed with victory. 80 r.

The Sylvan Theater.

Next Friday an interesting and impor.
tant event in the dramatic history Of
Washington will occur in the opening Of
the sylvan theater on the Washington
Monument grounds, which has been pro-
lyided by the government. The setting
of this outdoor stage is exceptionally
attractive; in remarkably short time
trees and shrubs have been brought to
state of development that insures a
bower of background.
For many years an effort has been
made to enlist the resources of the gov
eminent in the development of the
drama in this country, but with no sue
cess. Now, perhaps. beginning has
been made in the establishment Of this
sylvan theater, at which at least spec
tacles can be produced, if the spoken
drama is not practicable to any large
extent. For the opening performance
Friday night an entertainment Of par
tieular attractiveness has been arranged,
and Washington will enjoy a veritable
treat. The public-spirited people who
have given Of their time and means to
make this first use Of the national out
door theater successful deserve public
thanks. Fair weather will insure an i'm
mense gathering at the Monument
grounds Friday night at the Inaugural.
ton of the first. government stage in
America.

New Hampshire and Protection.

Mr.. Sulloway, republican, is succeed
ed in the House by republican. At
the special election held in the first
New Hampshire district yesterday, the
republican candidate had over twelve
hundred the best of the poll. For an off
year the vote was of good size, showing
that the campaign on both sides had
been vigorously conducted.
Last. year, o.the surprise of the coun-
try, New Hampshire voted for Wilson.
Mr.. sdlloway won, bat his success was
ascribed somewhat to personal popular
ity. He had made "a fine record in Con-
gress, and the people of the district high
" appreciated him. He led his demo-
cratic opponent by two thousand votes
Yesterdays result, therefore, gives the
republicans ground for comfort. At a
by-election, with much Of non-politi-
cal character occupying attention, they
dhlled substantial vote and scored a

substantial victory, The lead Of twelve
hundred in tho circumstances tssti6ss
there il life in the old party yet.
The war was not an issue: All Of New
England is supporting the war; and the
Granite state is firmly in line.
Probably the tariff had influence. New
England is for protection; has long
been. Blaine. aud Reed, and Dingley
were stout and aggressive champions Of
that policy; and the last mentioned gave
his name to one Of the most successful
tariff laws ever enacted.
The tariff as an issue is Coming
back" so to say. It was partly obscured
last year by other issues. The democ-
racy did not win, ON its revision of the
Payne law.
But the tariff, notwithstanding the
prominence Of other questions, is in evil
dence now. The. revenue measure has
introduced the subject, and we are hear
ing good deal about it. We shall hear
more as time passes, and when the war
ends the subject may lead all the rest.
1t is good time for proteetionists. to
stand together and hold the line. Tariffs
are going to occupy wide attention in
all industrial nations in the efforts Of
all to build up business on ruins which
now are widespread. America has bust
ness plans on large scale; and if they
are to be realized we shall need sound
American policies fashioned on expert
ence and what experience has taught is
necessary in the development of the
country.

The Day Of Big Figures.

We are in the midst and under the
speH of big figures biggest we as
nation have ever encountered. Those
of an earlier though recent day look
very small by comparison.
Take the revenue measure. The ways
and means committee started with estI-
mates totaling billion eight hundred
millions of dollars. For the moment the
sum was staggerer. Seasoned poil-
ticians stared at one another. Expert
enced business men all but gasped. The
everyday man could do nothing but won
DER, -. rob -
But in the thick of the staring, the
gasping and the wondering, the Secre-
tary of the Treasury sent to the COM
mittee a request for nearly half billion
more. He wanted the figures raised to
q total of two billions several hundred
millions. The committee paused. 1t
stopped, looked and listened, and then
decided not to include the request in the
bill it was preparing. 1t stood upon the
original proposition for billion eight
hundred million, and the bin that passed
the House provided for raising that much
money.
Now comes the Senate's turn, and big
figures are showing in the propositions
for reductions. Mr.. Weeks proposes a
reduction of eight hundred millions. He
thinks billion dollars sufficient at this
time. The finance committee is consider
ing a reduction of three hundred mil
lions, which would make the revenue
bill carry billion and half
So we see that as between the Junior
senator from Massachusetts and the Sec
rotary of the Treasury there is differ
ence of billion several hundred mil
lion dollars. As between him and the
House the difference is eight hundred
millions. Between the Senate and the
Secretary of the Treasury is a differ
ence of three quarters of billion dol
lars. Between the finance committee
and the House is difference of three
hundred millions.
Is it necessary to cite more to show
the necessity for the utmost caution in
the work the Senate has now in handf
Where men of experience differ so radi-
cally about what should be done-or
rather about hew much should be done
surely haste would be dangerous and
should be out of the question. !. Us
Let the big figures be we'll digested.
Let their significance be made plain to
everybody-the politician. who is star
ing. the business man who is gasping
and the plain citizen of small means and
inconspicuous station who wants to know
about it all.

How they melt into the air!
Once we rallied all insecure
