Bubonic plague and had seen lepers beg

in various stages of smallpox playing on

ures reported by the banks in the latest
ofacial returns. Although but short time
remains, less than two full days, with
the subscriptions closing at noon on Sat
urday, it is now well assured that the
capitals quota will be subscribed, prob
ably with an excess.
But to reach this point means an un-
remitting pushing of the campaign.
Every worker for the bonds must keep
on driving, arguing, talking. We must
olive bonds" from now to the end of
the campaign. Washington has not only
its goal of s2oooo,Ooo in total subscrip-
tions to reach, but it has its record of
the largest per capita subscription and
the largest proportionate number of sub
scribers in the United States to main
tain.
Every day is liberty day, today, to-
morrow and Saturday. Our work has
not ended with the passing of the day
set apart by presidential proclamation.
The momentum gained IN yesterday s
big drive should be accelerated up to
the hour of the finish, so that the result
will prove to Germany that the Ameri-
can people are heart and soul behind
the government in this war.

No Traffic Rule Exemptions.

In seeking a cause of the unusually
large number of street accidents which
have lately occurred in Washington it
has been suggested that possibly the
haste displayed by officers of the mill
tary service in going about the city in
automobiles may have played a part in
the record of casualties and damages In
the list of street mishaps the names of
officers figure frequently and it may be
that these cases are typical of dis
position to ignore the traffic rules on
the ground of urgency. 1t IS of course,
impossible that there should be any ex-
empt class in Washington. free from the
restrictions of the traffic rules. There
is no such urgency as to warrant dan
gerous speeds in the streets, or the cut
ting of corners or the stealing" of
crossings, by anybody The police will,
of course, enforce the regulations strict
ly against all offenders, whether they
are in uniform or in civilian clothes
Indeed, the officers of the United States,
in uniform, should be scrupulously care
full to observe the rules, to set an ex-
ample to all civilians

ing missed your chance Yesterday to
prove that you. who must stay at home,
can do as we'll for America as the men
in khaki who, in the camps here and in
France, have taken millions of dollars
worth of bonds in addition to offering
themselves. If you do not read these
words until you get home go down town
after dinner and ask the nearest bank
for bond. You will get one and you
will sleep better for having done your
bit as a patriot.

Our Soldier Visitors.

Announcement is made by the trustees
Of the Corcoran Gallery of Art that that
institution is to be opened free to men
in uniform next Saturday night for in
spection of the art treasures it con-
tains. This is a practical and patriotic
movement toward the wholesome enter
tainment of the soldiers who come to
the capital at the week end from the
nearby camps. Hundreds of them are
here seeking relaxation from their camp
duties, and all such institutions as the
art gallery and the governmental mu-
seums should be thrown open to them
so that they will have fullest opportunity
to enjoy and profit by the collections.
The National Museum and the Smith
sonian should be thrown open, not mere
ly to the men in uniform, but to all the
public in the evening, at least one even
ing in the week. The opening of the
gallery to the men in uniform should be
continued beyond a single date. 1t may
take little time for the men in the
camps to learn that on Saturday even
ings they can visit the gallery and en-
joy the paintings and the sculptures.
The commanding officers at the various
camps should make known to their men
this fact, so that there will be the widest
publicity.
Washington now has a large weekly
influx of soldiers, and this will continue
for months, as long as the training
camps are maintained in this vicinity.
It must not only make them welcome
whenever they come to town, but must
plan for their proper amusement and
diversion here. Organizations are pro-
vided to this end, but much can be done
by individuals. The example set by the
Corcoran Gallery of Art is stimulating
and will be valuable in assuring the
weekly entertainment of the soldier Wis
itors in other directions.
