A Year of Disasters.

An earthquake that destroyed the
city Of Guatemala has added to the rec
ord Of disasters and horrors that have
marked the closing year, quite apart
from the tragedies Of the war, as one of
the most dreadful in modern annals,
Early in the year 1917 an earthquake
occurred in central Formosa, killing 300.
Later in the same month $50 were killed
by an earthquake on the Island of Bali.
on the Malay archipelago. In April
many were killed in Tuscany and Um-
bria, in Italy, by an earthquake. Shocks
occurred in different parts Of the world
throughout the spring, the most severe
being in San Salvador, whore fortu-
nately no lives were lost. though seri-
GUS damage was done. Heavy damage
was done in July in the Samoan Islands
with losses Of life. In August an
earthquake in New Zealand caused seri-
GUS destruction. In September Colombia
felt . series Of shocks lasting for two
weeks, with the destruction Of hundreds

Lov Temperatures.

As if with a view of making quite
sure of the total smash of the forecast
Of a mild winter after Christmas, noted
by DR.. Tindail on the strength of we'll
established local records, the tempera-
lures have been hitting the zero point
80 hard during the last two or three
days that optimists are at discount.
With eight inches Of ice ON the river
and the tidal basin atfording the best
akating known here in years there is
nothing to be done but wait for the thaw
that according to tradition must come
soon, inasmuch as there was bearing ice
in Washington before Christmas. These
temperatures are dangerously low.
Washington suffers much more keenly
with tae thermometer at above zero
than do cities in higher iatitudes where
the mercury goes to 90, 80 and 40 de-
grees below. We can only hope that
this is really our winters worst mani
festation, and that the longtime annals
OF Washington climate will be borne out
by early moderation,

The Roosevelt Visit.

Mr.. Roosevelt seems to be assured of
. cordial welcome. Democrats as we'll
as republicans express pleasure at the
news of his plan to visit Washington.
Which shows that the visit bears no po-
itical Interpretation; that the visitor
will be received, and heard, not as a
politician, with ambition still alive and
active, but as citizen, deeply impressed
with the gravity Of the country's situa-
tien and DESTROYS Of lending a hand
toward clearing away difficulties.
There are several reasons why Mr..
Roosevelt should be accorded by legis.
lators and by others most respectful con.
sideration. He is not, it is true, a
trained soldier, but it is beyond dispute
that, from the first. he has had the right
idea about preparedness. Even before
the European war began he urged pre-
paredness on the country, and since the
beginning Of hostiiities he has been most
insistent on the subject. Had his ad
sxiee been taken, great benefit to the ma
hon would have resulted.
In the second place he knows from
personal observation good deal about
sr conditions in the country. he has
|xisitesL and inspected. several Of the
ntonments; talked with the officers

Disadvantages under which they were
working; had many opportunities for
forming opinion as to what should be
done to speed up necessary action.
In the third place Mr.. Roosevelt is a
man Of intense nature, with the ability
to communicate his enthusiasm to others.
He believes in the war, and was not
brought to the belief by slow stages.
This gives him consequence in the eyes
of those who, though not clear in their
minds about what should be done to
remedy existing evils, recognize the fact
that evils in our war activities exist and
should be remedied at once. He will
speak to such men with better effect
than could be commanded by anybody
else.s
Mr.. Roosevelt knows intimately the
men with whom he Will confer. Some
are his personal friends and have sup
ported him politically. Some are his
personal friends and have opposed him
politically. But to both alike he will ap-
peal now simply as one who wants more
progress made toward war equipment;
toward putting the country into a war
stride; toward meeting the expectations
created by the entrance of the country
into the colossal hostilities now raging.
And to such an appeal from such a man
all can afford to listen and respond, ac-
cording to its merit.

disaster Of another character, but be-
longing 70 the record Of misfortunes Of
the year, occurred in Halifax harbor on
the 9Th Of December, when munitions
ship was destroyed by collision with an
other vessel and over 1900 lives were
lost, with property loss Of $50, o0o, 900.
Now comes the Guatemalan quake, the
full effect Of which is not known, but
which has doubtless taken a heavy toll
Of life and has rendered $4,000 people
homeless. Rarely has the earth trem-
bled so violently and so generally as
during this year now closing. The full
toll of deaths from the shakes will per-
haps never be known, as many Of the
disturbances occurred in remote places.

The Teutonic Peace Proposals.

From the New York Times
Addressed to Russia, the peace pro-
posals which Count Czernfn laid be-

are manifestly intended for those gov
ernments with which Russia was for
merly in alliance. II To- not unreason-
the good Offices Of q diplomat OF some
neutral power. these proposals may be-
fore long be tentatively presented to
the allied governments: but 1t may also
be expected that they will be presented
In a manner permitting q German dis
claimer to follow their rejection.

The Length Of the Session.

"A news story about the legislative sit
uation concludes with this statement:
@The best opinion about the Capitol
is that the present session of Congress
will last through the summer and we'll
into the fall"
1t should last as long as business of
importance presses for attention. A
short session might serve the interests
of members seeking reelection. 1t
would enable them to take personal
charge of their campaigns. But it might
mot serve any other purpose. 1t might,
on the contrary, be prejudicial to the
public interests.
It would be good thing, therefore, if
Congress upon reassembling were to put
the matter Of adjournment out of
thought; to let developments FIX the
day; to give to every measure the time
it deserves; to slight nothing; to evade
nothing; to settle by the best lights OBJ
tainable everything presented for ac-
ton.
If at the time the special session
1eared the close Congress had known
what has since been disclosed about war
activities or inactivities; about condi-
tions at the different environments; about
the dangers and sufferings of the sol
diers; about this thing and that per
tanning to the equipment or lack of
equipment of the Army, the session
would probably not have closed. Con-
gress would have busted itself with ques-
tions of relief, and as far as possible
afforded relief. It might have done
much Many delinquencies, since the
subject of sharp criticism, at that time
existed; and congressional diligence
would have uncovered them.
The country has been stirred by these
disclosures. It. wants an end put to
everything that is retarding adequate
war preparations, and particularly to
those things of which the soldiers are
complaining. The men who have gone
or are going to the front to fight have
claims upon attention superior to all
other claims.
The voting of supplies, important as
that is. by no means concludes the duty
Of Congress toward the war. The money
should be followed. Those handling it
should be called upon for reports. The
eye Of Congress. should be as keen as
that Of the chief executive about all such
business.
There need be no clashes between the
President and Congress. Their duties in
tie premises are well defined; and the
duties of the one as of the other are
important.

A Shocking Waste.

From the New York Tribune.
Whether the failure TO employ the
idle clothing workers OF this city to
make the much Army garments
Is due to a labor union quarrel or to a
disposition on the part OF. minor Of
ficials to favor American bolshevikr'
at the expense OF the soldiers. it ought
to be ended. The needleworkers are
here. needing employment. The ma
chimes are here. standing idle. The
soldiers are in cantonments. needing,
according to testimony and Official ad-
mission. the garments these workers
and machines could turn out. To per-
NIT this condition TO continue seems to
be the veriest folly. not to give it a
worse name.

Washington's Coal Supply.

Assurances by the federal fuel ad-
ministration that coal enough is being
brought into Washington to supply the
needs of the people are not keeping the
residents of the capital warm while the
difficulties in the way Of obtaining the
coal itself accumulate. II the coal is
being brought here it certainly is not
being so distributed as to give every
body a sufficient supply to keep the
houses warm Just why this condition
prevails is mystery which household
ers want solved.
It is suggested that one Of the trou-
bles lies in the fact that the coal is
scattered among many yards in differ
emit parts of the city and that there is
no system of delivery which prevents
needless hauling. To overcome this a
"zone system" is proposed, consumers
getting their. orders from the fuel ad-
ministration Office, to be honored by a
dealer within particular zones. Haul
ing from the cars to yards and from
yards to residences regardless of dis
lance or direction is obviously uneco-
nomical. Inasmuch as the chief diff
Guilty at present is lack Of teams
rather than lack Of coal-if, as urged by
representatives of the federal fuel ad-
ministration, there is coal enough in
Washington for everybody-any method
that will lessen the amount of dead haul
ing will help.
tress is that householders are told not
to apply for fresh supplies until they
are within two or three days of the end
of their coal pile. When they apply for
further supplies they are told that they
cannot possibly be served within week.
Patiently this destroys the margin which
in most cases is now slender. Even If
by special dispensation coal Is given
before the last shove1ful is actually used
great distress Of mind is caused. Tho
regulations of the local Office Of ad-
ministration should work in unison with
the conditions and rules at the coal
cards.
It is imperatively necessary to regu-
late the coal distribution so that there
win be, first, no favoritism through the
filling of large orders while people are
clamoring for small supplies to meet
immediate necessities; second, that there
be no waste in the supplying Of cstab-
lishments using large quantities of coal
that can without any serious public in
convenience be closed. A survey of the
city to determine where such economies
can be practiced will doubtless disclose
many places that could be discontinued
temporarily, saving hundreds Of tons
weekly. A real emergency exists with
a large part Of the people Of Washing
ton in actual want aof fuel, while the
temperature is near the zero point and
the coal supply must be utilized to keep
the houses warm first Of all.

SOUTH END DEFEATED
NORTH AT FOOTBALL
Knock Down And Drag Ont Rules
Governed Game Sunday After
noon With Score n to g.

A hard boiled football game took
place Sunday afternoon at the old
Picket park when the South end ag-
gregation defeated the North end
outfit to the tune Of 81 to 6.
Snow drifts and, small incidental
things like that held no horror for the
husky aggregation who are followers
of the pigskin and although the day
was cold the game was certainly a
"hot" one.
There were only nine men on each
team but the quality more than made
up TO. the number. Knock down and
drag, out rules prevailed during the
contest, as the stiff and swollen joints
of many Of the participants will indi-
cate.
Rube Lukkason and George Keller
were strong ont he rough work for
the North lenders, but with Howard
Kelley, Inkster Sullivan and Rempfer
battering the line for the South end.
