OFFICE IN NICK OF TIME

Fire was discovered in the Office of
Attorney E. Elmo Bollinger in the
Citizens Bank building Tuesday. For
tunately it did not have time to spread
from a coal box in which it started,

wall near the box, which was quick
ly thrown into the street, was badly
scorched by the flames, however. The
origin Of the fire is unknown.

j. S. SAILORS
ARE RELEASED
BY GERMANY

PARIS, Feb. 22.-The Geneva cor
respondent of the Havas Agency sends
the following despatch received there
from the Wolff Bureau in Berlin:
at is learned that the crews of
the merchantships brought to Ger
many aboard the British steamer Var
rowdale have been released, though it
is said, by reason of the present cir
cumstances, the American sailors
might have been treated as prisoners
of war. 1t was decided some time
ago to release them as an exceptional
measure, they having begun their voy-
ages without knowing that they ex-
posed themselves to treatment as
prisoners because they shipped aboard
armed enemy merchantmen.
"After the rupture of relations with
the United States, news reached Ger
many that German ships had been
seized and their crews interned. That
news gave rise to the idea that it
might be prudent not to iberate the
American sailors until official inform
alton was received as to the real sit
uation. Information now has been re-
ceived officially that German ships in
American ports have not been seized
and that their crews have not been
informed"

General War Summary

, II was year in which twice every
power Of the German war machine
was twice concentrated and un-

all Germany could do. So did the

both these shocks.

practical abandonment OF one of the
weapons which three years ago Ger
many boasted would win her. the war

now, Germany uses aeroplanes. The
zeppelins proved too unwleldy.
In the year just past, hunger was
enlisted as a war weapon by both
sides. II was to "starve England out"
that Germany invoked the submarine
piracy. lt was to draw closer the
blockade around the Central Powers
that America soon after her entrance
into the strife. adopted stringent
plans to prevent her foodstuffs reach

charged with that power, and must per-
form it according to its own judgment.
It's judgment may not at given time
be Of the best. For an instance, the
ways and means committee undoubtedly
needed advice in the preparation of the
bill the House is now considering, and
the tariff commissions recommendations
might have been adopted to advantage.
But the committee, being superior to the
commission, had right to its judgment
and to record it.
The remedy remains, and will always
remain, with the people. If one party
disappoints them in its tariff enactments
they can call the other.
The tariff commission at most is a col
lector and arranger of statistics. Nat
urally, the members will have views, in
teresting enough to themselves, about
the value of what they collect and how
it should be applied by Congress. But
that is all. The commission will never
in any material degree shape revenue
legislation. 1t has not, and cannot ac-
quire, any such power. As creature of
Congress it is subject to that body in
all it does.

No Roosevelt Army.

The President has met the question
of sending Il volunteer army abroad un-
der command of Col Roosevelt in di-
rect, explicit and reasonable manner.
Congress put the responsibility upto the
President for the acceptance of the
Roosevelt volunteer army by giving him
the power and responsibility without
any indication as to his course Of action.
1t authorized him to use volunteer dl-
visions as the primary force to be sent
to France, and he has handled the mat
ter promptly He has not eyaded the
responsibility thus put upon him by
Congress, and he has recognized in frank
fashion that the general authorization
carried by the army bill was in effect
a specific proposition as to the Roose-
welt force. He compliments Col. Roose
velt's fine vigor and enthusiasm and
recognizes the advantages accruing from
utilizing his services and troops assem-
bled under the inspiration of his per-
considerations at stake. To organize
volunteer force of this character would,
he declares, seriously interfere with the
prompt creation and early use of an eff
fective army by taking too large num-
Der of officers now available for train
ing regular troops to be put into the
field in France and Belgium, Gas fast as
they can be got ready" Therefore, act
ing under expert and professional ad-
vice "from both sides of the water" he
decides that it is not wise to avail him
self now of this offer, but that it is bet
ter to send Immediately a division of
regular forces under the command of
trained soldiers.
There will doubtless be much disap-
pointment over the fact that the Presi-
dent, acting under advice of those best
qualified to judge the conditions, has
decided that it is impossible now to ac-
cept volunteer army under such dis
tinguished leadership as that of Col.
Roosevelt. But it must be recognized
that the Presidents motive in thus de-
Ginning to accept this army is based
upon sound patriotic judgment infu-
enced by the advice Of military men, not
only American, but English and French,
who know conditions both at the firing
line and in the training camps, and who
understand the difficulties in the way
Of creating large fighting force out of
a hitherto unframed civilian body.

The Tariff Commission.

In an address at Boston last night be-
fore the Home Markets Club, Prof. Taus-
sig, chairman Of the tariff commission,
made this statement:
"The tariff commission submitted a
report to Congress showing the embar-
rassment and difficulties which had
arisen in the United States and propos-
ing a remedy. The commission also pre-
scented draft of legislation which was
flexible and was believed to be practi-
cable"
Was this report requested by the ways
and means committeei Or did the tariff
commission volunteer it? The SUPPOSE
ton that it was volunteered is supported
by the fact that the recommendations
contained in the report were not in
corporated in the revenue measure pre-
pared by the committee. The report was
wastebasketed, as was the draft of a
measure prepared by the commission.
We see in this the limitations of the
tariff commission, and the probable at
titude of Congress toward that tribu-
nal in future. The commission is not
expected to draft revenue legislation.
Its reports, whether commanded or vol
unteered, will be read, and disposed of
as the ways and means committee may
decide. If the committee thinks the
recommendations good it will adopt
them; if bad, it viii ignore or reject
them.
This is the proper course. The re-
sponsibility is with Congress, which is
slectsA by the people, and is responsi-
BILE u its creators. It cannot delegate
. the pSNer of taxation. Il il anecifcally
