The Duty Of Congress.

Congress will open its considera-
tion of war legislation today.
There is opposition. to the army
bill from certain small pacifist and
pro- German groups, but a dominant,
overwhelming majority can convince
this obstructionist party that it is
playing with fire. The measure as
it stands has the Endorsement of the
President and commands an un-
doubted majority in both houses, so
OF what value is opposition except
to obstruct?
The legislators who fight the prin-
ciplc OF "selcctive conscription"
should be made to understand that
there is no ,dccp-laid plot, either on
the part OF the President or the War
Department, to saddle system Of
universal service in peace times on
the nation. Conscription is called for
only in the present emergency.
Therefore the opposition should be
given short shrift.
1t is amazing to hear it whispered
about that the attempt to bar the
government from sending troops to
Europe will be continued. 1t is
amazing that in the American Con-
gress, with war in progress, such a
prepostcrous suggestion should req
ccivc a moments consideration. But
the pacifists, despite their obvious
duty to accept the fact and reality of
war, will continue their policy of
giving aid and comfort to the enemy.
They are the copperheads of the
present generation, the scatterbrained
folk of whom we can only say: "for-
give them, for they know not what
they do"
OF course, the administration plan
OF liberal credits to our allies, along
with the $4,000, 10000 peoples loan,
will be opposed by these same dis
loyalists, who are unwilling to agree
that the present situation demands
that we give all possible cooperation
and aid to the entente
The nation demands that the army
and finance measures be made law
without delay. Obstructionists should
be made to feel the whip OF national
wrath.

Cuba as an Ally.

New York Times
The considerations which have served
to bring the Republic of Cuba into the
war against Germany as an ally Of the
United States are perfectly comprehen-
sibe and Creditable to the sagacity and
foresight of President Menocal and his
associates in the government. The Ques-
tion has been one for the Cubans to de-
eide for themselves. While Gen. Menocal
in his message to the Cuban Congress
recognizes A moral obligation to support
the United States in this crisis. II is an
obligation that we should never have
thought of urging upon the Cuban people.
AS 1t is, their entrance in the war will
undoubtedly be advantageous to u.s. as we
may now use all the Cuban ports for our
warships, when need arises. instead OF
confining ourselves to the harbor of Guam
tanamo.
The advantages Cuba may derive from
the alliance are obvious. also, and more
than Offset any she might have gained
by remaining neutral. By the terms of
the treaty with the United States. Cuba
is restrained from granting to any for
eign power the right to establish a naval
base on her shores If such base should
have been established by force while
she remained neutral. it would inevitably
have carried the war to her territory I'M

policy for our country to pursue when
raising billions for war to tax most

England has shown us the way in this
particular, and has taken as high as 90
cents out of every 81 of profit earned

should be heavy excess profit tax levied
upon all industries. In addition to that
the income tax should be revised so that

The Mexican Problem.

AS the country rushes plans for
participation in a war against Ger
many, there is another menace nearer
home which should be considered in
detail. Although the Mexican prob
lem is part of the German menace by
virtue of the activity of the Kaiser's
agents in that country, it should be
considered separately, as the danger
from that direction is far more immi-
nent than armed procedure against
Germany.
On March 20 The Washington
Herald carried a two-column story
on its first page to the effect that the
declaration of war with Germany
would be met simultaneously by ae-
tivities against the United States in
Mexico. The Herald was the only
paper in the United States carrying
the story which outlined the proba-
Bile movements of Mexican troops to-
ward the border.
In the dispatches of the past few
days, however, every newspaper has
printed stories of mobilization of
Mexican troops near the border.
Yesterday it was reported that Brig.
Gen. Bell, who is in command of the
American troops in the El Paso dis
trict, had strengthened the border
patrol and had placed a number of
cannon near the international bridges

Labor's Pledge.

There will be no strikes, no labor
troubles, during the progress of the
war with Germany.
The far-sighted leaders of unionism
have blazed new trail of American
ism in renouncing in advance the
temptation to traffic in the nations
necessities, to seek any tithe of ad-
vantage in the midst of national need.
They ask the sanse pledge from
capital and the employing class.
which doubtless will be freely given.
1t is obvious there should be no at
tempt to disturb existing standards
of wages or employment during the
war unless the Council of National
Defense sanctions such changes.
The nation is on guard. In few
weeks or less we will see semi-au-
tocratic power vested in the Federal
government. Rigid control of the
price and manufacture OF munitions
and supplies, of the distribution and
price Of foodstuffs, of the conditions
of employment and the regulation
of industry, are an essential part of
the war panorama. Germany has
taught the world the lesson, and it
will better the instruction.
Only handful of Americans real
ize the drastic nature of the reorgan-
ization that confronts the country.
The old, care-free, go-as-you-please
America is gone. 1t will never re-
turn, at least never in its old form.
democracy has outgrown it. The
whole industrial fabric of the nation
is under the eye and under the con-
troll, if necessary, of Washington.
When peace comes, Federal control
passes; but America will not forget
the lessons it has learned, nor lose
the impulse to intcgrate and organize
itself, rather than continue as a hap
hazard congeries of states, industries,
and economic groups.
The pledge from labor is signifi-
can't 1t shows there is no real re-
dictionary tendency from any respon-
sible political group in the country
today. The unity of America in the
face of war will be reassuring to it
self, no less than to the league of
democratic nations of which it is
now a part.

If one has any reason to doubt the
patriotism and generosity of Wash
ingtonians let him look to the re-
suits obtained by the District chapter
OF the Red Cross Society of America.
When it seemed definitely decided
that the country was about to enter
the war, the society decided to
raise $4,000 for work in the Dis
trict. At the first meeting Of the
finance committee. however, the
members of the committee them
selves subscribed about $4,000,
whereupon it was decided to raise
the mark to 100000. At a meeting
in the D. A. R. Hall on Friday night
about $4,000 more was subscribed
which, combined with other subscrip-
tons which have been sent in,
brings the total collected to nearly
$4,000. And this amount has been
collected before actual solicitation
has begun.

Tos that have linked your might with
ours,
To break his pride who breaks the laws,
You wear today, mid perjured Powers,
The arnaor OF a spotless cause;
Your legions march in Truth arrayed
And nightly Honor whets your blade.
From Baltic or Biscayan shores;
Where Loire to the Atlantic runs;
Where Volga to the Caspian pours,
You have not poured in vain your sons.
From laughing lands of Rhone and Seine
You have not poured your sons in vain.
Let US a League of Man proclaim,
Against such knavery meath a crown
As would be rightly held to shame
A swineherd and his fellow clown
Shall all the false and creeping things
Find last refuge among Kings:
To one sole mortal it remained.
One rash insulter Of the Earth,
To teach the world wherein he reigned
How much a Kaiser's word is worth
Ksiser's word, a caitifr's vow.
Well have we learned theiE value now
Over the bland and kindly Day,
Unreasonable Night he filings:
Sinister darkness blear and gray,
A horror of malignant wings.
Pain and red havoc he bestows
On them that only asked repose
He Is not hungrier for your lands
Than he Il thirsty for your seas,
Snite him with all your thunderous
hands,
Fight him and srnite him to his knees
You that on him and falsehood hurled
Shall guard the fortress Of the world.

with their mnzzles pointing toward
JuareZ.
This step was taken because of the
arrival in Juarcz of Gen. Murguia and
1000 Mexican troops The dispatches
also cite that Villa, who has formed
AN alliance with German interests in
Mexico, was marching toward the
border intent on raiding American
towns. The expansion of Carranza
troops in Northern Mexico and the
reported movement of 5000 troops
under Gen. Amaro toward Juarez
from Torreon is also mentioned.
The Carranza explanation that
these troops arc being modified to
intercept the troops of Villa may be
true, but it would be we'll for our
forces to be prepared for a combined

going to the room found the men over
come. The Emergency Hospital ambu-
