The Exhibit Plans.

A remarkable meeting was held Friday
night Of delegates from the various state
societies in Washington, called in the
interest of movement for a pre-inaugu-
raj exhibit here, participated in by both
the government and the states, as well
as the citizens of Washington. This may
be the beginning Of an important as
sociation Of the various groups Of state
residents. But, whatever the future may
hold in this respect, it is evident that
good will result from the manifestation
here of concern for the activity of the
states themselves in connection with
this exhibit enterprise. A joint resolu-
ton is now pending before Congress to
give authority to the government depart
ments to, take part in the proposed ex-
hibit. 1t should be passed without de-
lay, as time is precious. There is no
substantial objection to the enactment,
which is but formal expression of ap-
proval of a project costing the gover,.-
ment nothing.

January. This, however, iaterferes with
the constitutional provision that tAs ek-
piring Congress shall canvass the exc
toral vote. It 10 impossible, without
changing the date Of the presidential
election, to give opportunity for can
wasting Of the electoral vote by Con-
gress if the new session begins in Janu-
ary and the Inauguration is held, as has
been proposed by some. simultaneously.
The moment a January convening Of .
new Congress is proposed the matter be-
comes seriously complicated by the con-
sideration of the function Of Congress
% the final electoral canvassing body.
The Macarthur proposition avoids this
difficulty, though it does not in its pres
emit shape touch upon the matter of the
inaugural date. That, however, is d.
rect association which should be con-
sidered in any plan to effect an earlier
session of the new Congress and more
effective working schedule. Any plan
that will bring Congress into action
sooner than the thirteen months after
election provided by existing law is de-
sirable.

Seven Eelipses.

Great events are likely to be pre-
dicted for 1917 on the strength of the
seven eclipses, four Of the SUN and three
of the moon, scheduled to occur during
the next twelve months, the first of
which came last night. If there il
anything in the movements Of the solar
system that bears upon mundane affairs
surely this maximum Of dissertations
must have Significance. In olden days
any celestial phenomenon was looked
upon as a harbinger of evil. A solar
eclipse was rated as certain sign Of
devastation and destruction. A comet
was reckoned as token of catastrophe.
The year 1917 will yield the greatest
number Of disk-covering crossings that
can be figured out by the astronomers
as possible in twelve months.
Prophets will not be wanting to de-
clare that these seven-and seven is a
mystic number, much beloved by the oc-
cultists - eclipses mean that something
tremendous is going to happen in the
field of the war. For surely the war ID
the greatest center Of world interest to-
day. mere continuance Of the war,
already twenty-nine months in duration,
is hardly to be viewed as the outcome Of
such a combination Of planetary move
ments. Peace, rather, is apt to be the
product Of the seven dissertations. 1t is
likely that the expectation of peace will
be greatly increased on the strength of
these phenomena, especially as four Of
the seven are of the sun, the positive
planet, as against three Of the moon, the
negative. There is no end to the spec
ulation possible on this subject.

fhe Congressional Meeting Date.

representative Macarthur has intro
dused bill designed to facilitate the
work of Congress by providing for an
earlier session of the newly elected ma
tional legislature. His measure pro-
poses three regular sessions, the first to
begin on the first Monday after the 4th
of-Marcb following the election of the
House of Representatives, the second on
the first Monday in October of the same
year and the third on the first Monday
In December of the following year. This
would insure the convening of the newly
elected Congress within five months
after the balloting instead of thirteen
months as at present. Contrary to
general impression, such an action,
changing the date of the congressional
meeting, does not require constitutional
amendment. The Constitution provides
that 'the Congress shall assemble at
least once in every year, and such meet
ing shall be on the first Monday in De-
cember. unless they shall by law appoint
q different day"
N consideration is given TO this bill
the opportunity might be utilized to
bring forward the question Of the in
augnration date, which has been per-
mitted TO lapse for some years, although
the reasons for its change remain as
urgent as ever. The two matters are
closely associated, though one requires
constitutional amendment while, as just
stated, the congressional schedule can be
hxed by legislation. IL the principle
underlying the Macarthur bill is favored
namely, that of bringing the newly
elected Congress into action soon after
the Inauguration, there is no serious diff
Acplty about a readjustment that viii
put the Inauguration at a more element
and convenient season than at present
The last Thursday in April, or possibly
. slightly earlier date, would permit an
immediate converting of the new Con
Eress with opportunity for several
months of work. se

eonyening Of the newly elected Congress

there are not only wide, but angry, diff

Switzerland Alarmed.

Switzerland, which has been regarded
as not only strictly but assuredly
neutral throughout the European war, is
reported to be greatly agitated over
hint from Germany that the mountain
republic may be involved in the great
struggle. The Cologne Gazette recently
declared that "the Swiss confederation
has the greatest interest to see peace
concluded rapidly, because it is now
impossible to foresee the future fate of
the nations which have remained neu-
tral up to the present" Inquiries have
been made as to the meaning of this
cryptic expression. The German min
lister at Bern is quoted in an interview
as saying that Switzerland has nothing
to fear from Germany, which will strict
ly respect and regard the republics neu-
trality. He added that the rumors to
the contrary published in entente news
papers were without foundation, and
were circulated to disrupt the friendly
relations between the two countries
These rumors refer to an alleged purpose
on the part of Germany to attempt an en-
try into France through Switzerland
Such a move, it is plain. could not be
made successfully without the conniv-
ance of the Swiss 1t would be physical
