Settle the Shipping Row!

The controversy over the shipping
program has reached the stage at which
drastic action Is necessary by the high
est authority. An intolerable situation
exists by reason Of a deadlock between
the head Of the shipping board and the
head of the shipbuilding corporation or
ganized under that board to create q
feet Of merchantmen. Tho Star does
not venture a Judgment as to the merits
Of the discussion. Certainly the issue
as to wooden ships or steel ships is ad-
Unstable. The delays incident to q fail
ure to agree upon q program are dan
gerous, menaeing the very national life
by contributing in effect to the success
of the German assaults on the sea upon
the shipping Of the allied powers.
II these two men cannot work in har-
mony one or the other should be re-
moved from Office, or both. It matters
mot what they have accomplished in the
past. The present duty Of this govern
ment is to create merchant feet in the
shortest possible time, and every day
that is lost because Of quarrel over
methods or the terms Of contracts is a
contribution to the enemy. This has
been going on for many weeks, and the
country has become impatient to the
point of demanding speedy settlement,
whoever may be sacrificed.

main under the control Of the best ele-
ment Of Its population. Our fighting
part Of the war will be performed In
Europe; and We shall communicate with
the scene Of action frequently through
that port.
Tammany processes confidence, but
there are signs Of anxiety. Mr.. Murphy
is holding conferences with his leu
tenants oftener than usual. He is tax
ing his bearings with extreme care. Sew
eral failures have greatly disturbed him.
That Of Cows. Dix and sulzeE in Office i;
that Of Gov. Glynn to retain the once
fortune had thrown to him; that OF Nc
Call, who was defeated for mayor by
Mitchell, and that Of the organization
in last years presidential campaign,
may be cited. This time, IL possible,
Mr.. Murphy wants to get of ON the right
foot, marching behind candidate with
out serious Aaw ana whom he can trust.
The fusionists are claiming recruits
from Tammany-men once prominent in
the organization, but now convinced of
its unworthiness and DESTROYS Of assist
ing in its overthrow. They especially
condemn Tammany's funk last year.
But such men are not likely to lead the
fusion forces. To pitch the fusion cam
paign in the key Of political revenge,
and put it in charge Of men educated by
Tammany and long its servants to COM
mand, would rob it Of Its strongest ap-
peal to the best citizenship and purposes
of that community.
Tammany is pretty bad; but its serv-
ices are always solicited in presidential
campaigns; and whatever Of value it
achieves is thankfully received. Tam
many's returns, when sufficiently large,
are never examined for fraud, or re-
jected on any account.

Of precautien the word should be sent

ing svexybody to beware Of purchasing

There is nothing beyond credence in
the charge that these mon are operating
in the German interest. Germany has
earned the reputation for diabolism in
warfare that justifes the accusation
that her emisssries seek now to cause
the death Of Americans in . most ter
rible form. The inventor and user Of
poison gas would not hesitate to spread
poisoned courtplaster among an enemy
people, and the perpetrator Of the out
RACES in Belgium, Poland and France is
quite capable Of Wholesale murder
through deadly disease germs.

The Submarine Campaign.

1t is to BE- doubted if the German gov
eminent is publishing the reports Of
submarine sinkings week by week as the
British admiralty has been doing since
the campaign Of ruthlessness began. For
such tables ~ those that are now pre-
scented weekly would cause . decided
slump In confidence among the German
people respecting the efficacy Of the
U-boat. The intensive submarine cam
paign, which was to have brought Eng
land to her knees in four weeks, has
now been in progress nearly six months.
So far from being exhausted English
shipping is now showing = weekly &C
tivity that cannot be regarded as in
dicating collapse. Last week 2,92S YES
sells arrived at British ports and 1920
vessels sailed. Fourteen ships over 1,600
tons each were sunk and ships under
that tonnage, as against IA over and 3
under the week previous. This is one Of
the lowest weeks In point Of losses in
five months. The average since the
week ending March I has been 27.65
merchant ships sunk weekly, and Of
these an average Of 1895 have been over
1900 tons. For the past three weeks
the sinkings have been below the aver
age. No specific cause for this falling
of is known. Tho assumption is always
plausible that the campaign against the
submarine is becoming more and more
effective.

FiendiSh Work in Kansas.

A diabolically wicked plot to spread
death among the American people is in.
dicated by arrests that have been made
at Kansas City, Kan, five Germans be-
ing taken into custody on a charge Of
having attempted to spread lockjaw
throughout that state through the dis
tribution Of germ-infected courtplaster.
These men Travelled through the farm.
ing districts and first sought to sell and
then gave away their packets of plaster.
Their actions attracted suspicion to
them, and they were taken In custody
and the plaster examined by four DIFF
ferent chemists, one Of them in the roy.

ported that the material contained ba.

Fusion Versus Tammany.

The announcement that Mayor Mitchell
will accept denomination at the hands
of fusion forces will fix attention
strongly on the New York situation,
which is complicated, and growing in
national interest. Tammany's man is
as yet unindicated. But that he must
represent in point Of character, ability
and personal popularity the best the or
ganization can command is plain.
1t is plain, for several reasons. Mayor
Mitchell has given the town a good ad-
ministration. While he has made some
enemies, he has made many friends. His
candidacy, it is believed, will have the
sympathy and support Of the national
administration. The President il fond
Of him. 1t is urged that, At this time

eipal seaport Of the country should 70,

Unpatriotio Delays,

Opposition to the aviation bill in the
Senate on the ground that it involves
the principle Of draft is In effect op-
position to the successful prosecution
Of the war by this country. For Con-
gress has already settled the question
Of the draft, and it has been put into
operation. To raise the question again,
to insist upon debate on this point in
connection with bill that il merely q
detail Of war making is to throw OBJ
stacles in the way Of the war prepare
tions without real justification.
Those who oppose the draft have had
their day Of discussion, their chance to
affect the result and to determine the
policy Of the government. They have
failed and Congress has voted by large
majority in favor Of the draft prin-
ciple. IF every time q war measure is
advanced this same subject is to be re-
vamped and discussed extensively the
country will look upon those who per-
sist in their opposition after decision
as seeking opportunities to embarrass
the United States in its war work.
Legitimate debate need not be pro-
tracted. The subject Of the draft has
been thrashed over and over. There
was as much opposition to the draft
principle in the House when the national
army bill was started on its legislative
course as there was in the Senate, and
yet the other day the House passed the
aviation measure almost immediately
upon report, virtually without debate
and In . spirit Of advancing the gov
ernment's war preparations with the
least delay and the greatest effective
ness.
The Senate has a new cloture rule.
Under it every member Of the body
can speak one hour after cloture IL ap-
piled. It is a liberal rule, too liberal,
in fact, in view Of the disposition Of
certain members Of that body to ex-
haust the time with futile repetitions Of
familiar arguments on subjects already
decided. At this moment the Senate is
debating the food control bill far be-
yond the merits Of the question. Nearly
two weeks have been wasted in virtually
pointless discussion. The Senate was
ready to vote on this matter at least ten
days ago, but for some reason that pass
Is understanding set the date for ballot
for July 81. Now a small group Of
members holds up bill that is receg-
nized as one of the primary essentials
Of the American war program. Every
man who participates in these delaying
tactics incurs the liability of accusation
Of unpatriotic motives.

The Draft.

Every precaution has been taken to
make the draft, which will probably
take place tomorrow, absolutely fair and
equitable. Each registrant has been
given a number, each Of the 1857 ex-
emption districts in the United States
having its own series of numbers. The
drawing will take place here in the city
of Washington to determine the order
IN which the registrants will be called
for examination. One thousand num-
bers will be drawn one by one from
a glass receptacle by blindfolded man,
and each number thus drawn will rep
resent ten numbers actually summoned,
by an ingenious and simple mathemati-
cal arrangement. Every one Of those
ten numbers will apply to each Of the
1857 exemption districts, SO far as the
number Of registrants in the districts
extends. Thus in the District of Co.
lumbia every time the blindfolded ma1
takes number from the bowl as many
as a local registrants may be sum-
moned for the first examination, from
each of the IL exemption districts. Some
of the master numbers taken from the
bowl may call for only l from the
smallest local district.
In all, Washington-the District Of
Columbia-must furnish 929 men on the
E~,& 1-of% Tha axa,,D%;on bo,rd will
summon twice as many men for the first
examination, or 1858. These 1858 men
out of the 1882 men registered in this
jurisdiction will report as soon as they
can be summoned by mail to be exam
ined physically and with respect to their
civil, industrial and social status. If
they have claims for exemption they
must then present them. If the number
exempted e1hausts the draft before the
quota is completed more registrants will
be summoned, in the order Of the draw
ing, until the quota is complete.
The drawing Of numbers will give
every registrant in the United States
place in the roll. Out Of the ten million
registered 1000 soldiers are to be Sc
lected, and the examination Of the regis
trants for this service will take place
in the order in which the numbers are
drawn. Thus Washington will have,
after the first summoning, 80,514 men in
reserve to fill the quota, all numbered
and assigned to places in line.
The Star win promptly inform the
public Of the numbers Of those sum-
mened in the first ], 1858, from whom the
quota Of s29 will be selected, issuing an
extra edition Immediately upon the
completion Of the drawing up to that
point. 1t is important that every regis
trant in the District have his number by
tomorrow morning, so that when The
Star appears he may know quickly
whether or not he is in the first draft Of
those from whom the local quota Is to
be selected.
