Many Rooms Available.

A complete survey Of Washington's
rooming facilities will probably bring
to light many accommodations available
for the newcomers at the capital beyond
those that have been listed as available
There are undoubtedly rooms by the
hundreds, perhaps thousands. in some
parts Of the city that have not been
adequately canvassed In the south.
west, the southeast and the northeast
sections are quarters for large numbers
Of government workers. Yet so far the
newcomers have appeared to want ex.

considerations should be waived and
every available room utilized before any
move is made toward dormitory con

people of Washington than that they
be housed in large groups in hastily
built quarters which at best must BIZ

Tagging the Coal Shovels.

1t is an old saying that if you can get
the children working on any cause of
public welfare it is as good as won, for
they are indefatigablc and earnest and
they push any project unremittingly
It is now proposed to start them on
"tag your shovel" drive ON the 30th of
January next, when over 2l000,0O
school children in the United States will
be asked to spread the word of fuel
economy throughout the country. This
is tremendous force to enlist, 1t is
we'll nigh irresistible These 2l,000000
children will literally scour the coun-
try with their pleas for greater care in
the use of fuel 1t is safe to say that
practically every coal shovel will be
tagged.
Meanwhile, the purposes of this prop
uganda for greater economy i'll the use
of fuel may be applied practically. All
furnaces and pipes can be covered with
insulation; all windows can be weather
stripped or stuffed with cotton; rooms
can be kept at moderate temperature
ashes can be sifted, not only to recover
the burnable material, but to test the
furnace, and gas and electric light can
be saved to reduce the pull on the boil
ers at the central stations.
Every little economy in the matter Of
fuel helps. With 100.000,000 people the
least individual effort at saving makes
great total. Moreover, the children
who are enlisted in this effort at nation
wide fuel economy will in the prelimi-
nary instruction between now and the
30th of January gain much valuable
knowledge. Through systematic prep
aration in the next five weeks many
economics will have been put into effect
SO that by the time the peak of the win
ter's load is reached the American peo-
pie will be warming themselves without
waste.

The Routine Appropriations.

Little is being said about appropria-
lions unrelated to the war And yet we
may be sure that such matters are be-
ing considered, and at the proper time
will receive the proper attention.
Indeed, it would be mistake to mini
mize the routine even in these unusual
days. The government should be well
supported in all necessary branches. 1t
is big and complicated machine which
should be kept in the best of running
order in all circumstances. The neglect
Of any part Of it might result In serious
injury to the whole.
The war, Of course, is calling for huge
sums. We are making the acquaintance
Of figures which hitherto have existed
only in the imagination.
At the same time we are getting new
lines on our resources. America is rich
in many things-in raw materials, in
finished products, and particularly in
the capacity to convert the former into
the latter. We had not appraised until
recently the progress made in the lasi
score Of years.

Our War Christmas.

The fourth Christmas comes with the
world at war. Peace is still far from
view. Good will is lacking among men
The United States is now in the thick
of the strife and celebrates its Christ.
mas in khaki. Many thousands of its
men and women are in Europe in the
fight and in the works Of mercy to the
end of American victory. Never be-
fore has this day been observed in such
circumstances. The rejoicing that per-
tains to Christmas is tempered with a
sad sense Of responsibility. But there
il NO faltering.
As each Christmas since 1914 has come
We have thought that it would be the
last that would be clouded by the murk
Of war. But now a fourth is passing,
and there is no confidence that even an
other will not be observed while the reek
Of cannon smoke is in the air
There is one point of especial graft
tude, however, now in that Jerusalem
has been restored to Christian hands
after centuries of control by the Turks.
This is one of the most precious Christ
mas gifts that Christianity can receive.
Not even in Berlin can it be contem-
plated to restore the scene of Christ's
teachings and sacrifice to the hands that
have held it for so many years, against
the efforts Of some Of the noblest char
acters in the worlds history.
Here at home our Christmas is tinged
with sadness. From many households
have gone men to fight under the ma
tional flag. War has come to our very
doors, and there are vacant chairs at
the family boards today. Our gifts have
gone forth to the men overseas and
our best thoughts have been sent to
them to cheer them in their absence
from home in their trials of camp and
trench.
We are sustained in this great trial
BY the reflection that our adventure
into war, with its losses and sacrifices
and sufferings, is for the sake of the
principles Of righteousness taught by
Him whose birth we celebrate today.
This is fight against cruelty and avar-
leo and faithlessness. 1t is war against
the most evil forces ever loosed upon
the world. and the great pity of it is
that 1t was started by nation that pro-
fesses Christianity.

Francis G. Newlands.

| At no time would the death of Sena-
| tor Newlands have failed to evoke ex-
pressions of high personal appreciation
and of large public loss He had been
| long in the public eye, and associated
with important national policies. He
| had made place for himself first in
the House and then in the Senate, which
commanded attention, confidence and
admiration. His part in much useful
legislation had been conspicuous.
But at this time his death is calami-
tous. For it so happens that the subject
he had explored more deeply than any
other national legislator, and, therefore,
in true sense made his own-transpor-
tation-is just now knocking at the
doors of both Congress and the White
House for settlement on lines made ur-
gent by the war, and the Nevada senator
was cast for participation in the bust
ness. He had been in intimate consul
tation with the President, and had gath
cred and arranged much material bear
ing on the latest phases of the problem.
In a way, indeed, he has fallen a victim
to the cause, for the arduous labor he
had recently bestowed upon it must
have hurried the end.
In an appreciation of the senator pub
lished at the time of his last candidacy
for reelection, The Star referred to the
good fortune Mr.. Newlands had enjoyed
in his equipment for national life. He
was native of the south He had his
college training in the east and in this
town. He made his debut in politics in
the west, and found, and improved, his
opportunity there. So it was that he
knew all sections, and, with knowledge,
served all in Office. A loyal party man
in all party matters, he yet rose easily
and effectively above party in all mat
tiers beyond party command or obliga.
ton. His views and sympathies and &C.
tivities were national in all that related
to the nations welfare.
Washington had reason for holding
Mr.. Newlands, as it did, in very high and
warm regard. He knew the town from
long association with both it's official and
its social life. 1t was home for a good
part Of his time. He felt, and in
practical way manifested, interest in its
development. He will long be remem-
bered here.
At sixty-nine Mr.. Newlands has gone
prematurely. But he had accomplished
much; and his record will preserve his
name among the strong men who found
the west undeveloped. and left it gar
den spot, and one of the sturdiest Sec
tions of the Union.

are supporting. We are not highfiers
or masters, but reasonable calculators Of
governmental needs. So great an en-
pire, blessed with such abundance, and
occupied by . hundred million capable
and aspiring people, with larger pur-
poses for the future than they have ever
manifested in the past, could not adj
vance on policies of skimping. Liberal
ity must be the law of developing so
large . life.
On this account the routine appropria-
tions when taken up for open debate will
arrest attention. If attacked, they will
be defended The necessity for con-
tinuing what has justified itself, and
adding new features growing logically
out of the old, will be thoroughly
argued
No way need, or should, be opened for
"pork." There has never been any good
excuse for pork" There is none now.
There will be none when the war closes.
We shall probably see activities with
pork in view. There is something
very human about looking out for 1.-The
home folks" in large distribution Of
public funds. But, with all "pork" elm
mated. as it should be, there will yet be
required much money for the everyday
needs of the government; and this
should be supplied in spirit looking to
the general welfare entirely apart from
the war and its obligations.

Two More Motor Deaths.

Two deaths have occurred in the
streets of Washington within a week
through failure of the victims to OBJ
serve proper caution before leaving the
curb. In each case an elderly woman
was struck by motor vehicle and killed.
Both victims appear to have stepped
into the street directly in the path Of
the machines, which could not be stopped
in time. These deplorable additions to
Washington's death toll prove that the
word of safety has not been carried far
enough. A few weeks ago a campaign
of public instruction was conducted for
the purpose of teaching everybody to
be more careful in the use of the streets.
But the habit of carefulness is hard to
establish. Many people are still using
the streets without sufficient caution,
They forget that there is danger every
where. They are intent only upon max
ing their way from curb to curb and
fail to observe the primary rule
of "stop, look and listen" before ven
turing off the pavement 1t is Of NO
moment whether the drivers are careful
or not, as far as the responsibility Of
the pedestrian is concerned. There
must be precaution at the moment OF
going into the street. There is no such
thing as right Of way anywhere now
And Jet drivers and motorists must not
take refuge behind the theory that a
pedestrian assumes the risk. Every Per
son who manages . vehiels, especially {
swift and heavy one, must be on tAe

alert every moment to prevent accidents
due to the carelessness Of the people who
walk. The driver of such a vehicle as
sumes that responsibility upon taking
charge Of it. Street safety is matter
Of mutual interest. In every case where
death has occurred the driver of the We
hicle that has caused it should be con-
sidered as automatically suspended from
the privileges of motor management un-
til it is conclusively proved that the
whole burden of fault lies with the vic
tim.
