be Of a very pronounced character.
Election day is eighteen months distant,
and much, relating to the war and to
other things, may take place before then.
Whatever does take place utilizable for
political purposes will, Of course, be
utilized. If in the record there are
votes for the democrats, the record will
be used to secure them. If the record
will serve the republicans, they will use
it for all it may be worth.
We have not changed our partisan
spots, or cast eur partisan skins. Time
will show us as again what We were be-
fore war was declared. Domestic ques-
tons now in allegiance will return for
treatment, and the conduct of the war
up to date afford texts for political dis
cussion.
This is worth considering, and worth
a word of congratulation. Party spirit
in matters relating to parties should not
be allowed to relax. AS nation we
could as easily dispense with the Con-
stitution as with parties. We live and
have our healthiest being under party
influences and inspirations; and de-
cadence of party spirit would mark an
even wider decadenee and give cause for
general anxiety.

Air Raiding Resumed.

With the destruction some months ago
of two Zeppelins engaged in raids on
England it seemed as though Germany
had concluded that the game of bomb.
ing England from the air was not worth
the candle. For long time there was
a cessation of all such attacks. Mean
while Count Zeppelin died, and it was
currently believed that his death was
fastened by chagrin over the failure of
his device to prove decisive factor in
warfare. Now air raiding has been re-
sumed, but whether by airplanes or Zep-
pelins is not clear. The other day a dis
patch stated that "airships" had dropped
bombs in eastern. England and one civil
ian was killed, and immaterial property
damage was caused. Now comes another
announcement, to the effect that six
teen "airships" have raided southeastern
England and caused the death Of seven

ty-six persons, the largest number Of
people killed by any such raid since the
war began, and the wounding of ia
others. Three Of the "airships' were
shot down. The dispatch explains that
these were airplanes, leaving the infer.
ence that the air fleet included Yep.
pelins as well. It is interesting to
note that the air raids have been re-
sumed. Does it signify that the com.
parative failure of the submarine cam,
paign has led Germany to an extraordi.
nary effort in another direction to ter
rify England into clamors for peace
The early air raids had an effect quite
to the contrary, stimulating recruiting
and arousing the fighting spirit of the
British. 1t is hardly conceivable that
even heavy civilian losses will cause an
appreeiable pressure upon the govern
ment for the institution of peace moves,
or that the government will yield in the
least to such pressure if it were to be
evoked by the bombing of the towns
and villages.

The Star the other day had news of
an awakening in republican circles in
the House. No protest is made against

eies. When squaring with the plain ne

The war is not party war. Both par

Still, the two old parties as parties

keep their organizations in trim. There
is work ahead for both on old party
lines. and when the time comes both

Some important state and municipal
campaigns are scheduled for this year

what the appeals will be is not now
clear. When made they may reflect the
developments, local and national, Of the

there will be politics in the country next

The British Commission.

In the course of many decades nu-
merous commissions have visited the
United States from England on one
errand and another, and have departed
leaving pleasant memories. But the
commission that has just departed after
stay of several weeks is the most note
worthy of all and has come and gone in
circumstances most remarkable. The eff
feet of the visit of the Balfour commits
sion is certain to be far reaching. 1t has
brought the English and American peo-
pie closer together than they have ever
been before. 1t has been of exceptional
value to the United States in its new
war venture, giving this country the
benefit of British experience during
nearly three years of painful expert
menting and preparation, leading finally
to victory promising achievement.
In its personnel the British commits
sion was so composed as to command
the interest and respect of this country
to an exceptional degree. Headed by a
former prime minister and a man whose
life has been devoted to British state
service and including many men of val
liable activities in civilian and military
lines, it was an impressive array of per-
sonalities. These men created a most
gratifying impression of cordial, sin
cere friendship. Many opportunities
were offered to them to strengthen the
ties which now bind England and the
United States so closely together, and
they improved them admirably.
In its quiet departure for Canada the
British commission has left here in
Washington most agreeable memory
and an assurance that the English and
American people are united in spirit
and in action.

The Recruiting Trip.

The recruiting booster trip Of the Re-
tail Merchants Association in the in
terest of the Marine Corps enlistments
Is patriotic endeavor which should pro-
duce excellent results. The business
men Of the city are keenly alive to the
importance Of full enrolment Of the
corps, and have devoted their spring out
ing to the end that the word Of the
nations need may be carried in the
most effective way possible to the peo-
pie of the lower Potomac valley They
have prepared for this drive for recruits
thoroughly and start off today with en-
thusiasm and under official auspices.
May their steamer return laden with
men who want to wear the uniform of
the Marine Corps!

The Senate as Reviewer.

The House gave two weeks to the reve-
nue. measure. The Senate is expected
to give a month.
In its review of revenue legislation
the Senate has always proceeded leisure
ly and with caution. 1t has never been
driven. In most eases it has improved
on House work.
This was true in 1894. when Mr.. Cor
man and a few other democratic sena-
tors revised the bill the House had sent
over. The performance required resolu-
tion and staying power. President
Cleveland was giving the bill as passed
by the House the full support of his ad-
ministration He wrote letters i'll its
behalf. He brought to bear on senators
all the pressure he could command. The
fight in conference was bitter.
The Senate won 1t would not yield
even to the President. 1t did not sue
coed in making good bill, but did i'm
prove the bill the House had passed.
Three years later the Dingley law sup
planted the German Wilson law, and
prosperity returned.
Four years ago the Senate did not vote
on the Underwood bill until five months
after receiving it from the House. There
was some nagging, but it had no infiu
ence. 1t accomplished nothing. The
IL, 60 fbo
Senate, and the crudities were attacked.
While in some instances helpful, the
Senate changes did not produce bill
that redeemed party promises. The new
law neither produced revenue enough,
nor heartened business. There was COM
plant about it in business circles from
the outset
The Kitchin bill is not revision of
the tariff. It touches the tariff only in
q general way. Hence there is no reason
for such lengthy review as the Senate
gave the German Wilson bill or the I'm
derwood bill.
Nevertheless, it is very important
measure, carrying an enormous sum Of
money, and touching many lines of bust
ness. And all business has been stirred
up by it. The times are stirring. Ex-
perienced men are anxious. Hence the
advisability Of such examination and dis
cussion by the Senate as will quiet APP
prehension, and restore confidence where
confidence is most needed.

Evidence of German Spying.

A frank disclosure by the Navy De.
partment that the departure of the de.
stroyer hotilla for England had been
| tipped off to Germany by agents in this
country and that German submarines
had strewn mines at the entrance of the
harbor for which they were headed
brings sharply to public attention the
fact that spies are actively at work here,
and that they are successful in getting
official secrets.
There need have been no doubt on
the point of the presence and the ac-
tivity of German spies in the United
States. They we're here before the en-
trance of this country into the war.
Some of them we're known to have the
closest relations with the embassy. Their
plots for the destruction of munitions
works and ships were fragrant. Just the
other day three men were convicted in
New York of work of this character and
sentenced, by singular extension of
clemcncy, to year apiece in the peni-
Tertiary.
1t is part of the German political
creed that any work for the fatherland
is meritorious. Every German citizen,
of whatever social degree and wherever
he may be domiciled, is potentially a
spy for his government. 1t is expected
Of him to secure and pass on to Berlin
any scrap Of information he can get re-
garding the plans of any other govern
ment. Since the great war began the
German spies have been busy all over
the world, and particularly in the United
States. The departure of the ambas-
sador and the final declaration that
state of war existed did not cause them
to leave here. They have remained,
some of them doubtless in positions of
trust and Importance, many of them
merely in places from which they can
observe and report to superiors here.
That a well organized system is main
tanned here whereby facts bearing on
the American war preparations are gath
cred and by secret means conveyed to
Berlin is not to be questioned. The
chiefly disturbing feature of the leak
respecting the destroyer flotilla is that
some of these agents plainly have ac-
cess to official sources of information
in short, that German spies are some
where within the naval organization.
This makes necessary a thorough search
in that quarter and the stoppage Of the
leak.
Some mystery attaches to the means
whereby the secrets obtained by the
spies have been transmitted to Berlin.
Wireless apparatus undoubtedly is avail
able here or in Mexico for such service
The finding of the transmission agencies
is an easier task than the discovery of
the spy within the service.
1t is now especially gratifying that the
fact of the departure of the fiotiHa for
England, known to the newspapers for
days before the arrival, was not pub
lished or even limited at in print. There
is no argument for a drastic censorship
in this discovery of the leakage of off
cial secrets.

A dwelling unobtrusive.
IT'S his ambition to remain
Contented and exclusive.
And if his exit you compel
With some well wrought appliance.
He'll struggle hard to shut his shell
In resolute defiance.
But just the same, men dig him out.

They cart him cheerily about
Till some one wants to cat him.

While he is. swift and wary.
