Parking Puzzles.

1t is undoubtedly the duty of every
street user to learn the rules regulat-
ing traffic. Particularly should all who
run motors ascertain just where and how
cars can be parked. There is at present
a great confusion in the public mind in
this respect, and occasionally serious
embarrassment arises through uncon-
ecious violation of the regulations. On
some streets right angle parking is re-
quired, on others an acute angle is or
dered and on others still cars must be
placed parallel to the curb. On at least
one block parallel parking is required
on one side of the street and angular
parking on the other. It really takes
a remarkable memory to keep all these
distinctions in mind and avoid friction
with the police. Indeed, it may be ques-
toned whether some of the police are
fully acquainted with the intricacies of
the parking rule 1t would greatly help
il in the downtown section curbstone
signs were placed, Indicating plainly the
hind Of parking permitted on each block.
IL is too much to assume that every
street user knows the law in a confusion
.pf rules such as that which governs in the
congested portion of Washington.

Whitman, suspected Of desire far .
third term and believed to be reasonably
sure Of third nomination, is throwing
his full weight in favor Of the .ratifica-
tion Of the amendment. 4
The democratic candidate Is not as
yet indicated. Gossip about Mr.. Hearst
persists, though he has said nothing to
encourage it. Gossip about Mayor-elect
Hylan persists even against his protest.
He declares that his duty will keep him
in the city haH for the term prescribed
in his election.
In time, however, the man must stand
forth and take position on the prohibi-
ton issue. He cannot evade it, or strad-
die it successfully. IF he champions it
frankly, there will be very pretty tus-
sle between him and his republican COM
petitor for prohibition support. If he
opposes ratification, there will be even
a prettier tussle between them.
The drink traffic, as all know, has al
ways been influential in New York poll
ties. In the metropolis it has been a
power. Barrooms have been favorite
meeting places for ward leaders and
ward "heelers" Some Of the cleverest
of such performers" have graduated
from behind the bar-have served as
knights of the White Apron" So that,
when the fight opens, the full power Of
drink will be thrown against ratifca-
tion.
But the women are to be taken into
account; and the calculation as to them
is that a very large majority will sup
port ratification. They have seen close
at hand the worst effects Of saloon in
fluences, moral, political and financial,
and this will be their first opportunity
to register their condemnation in a way
to give it emphasis and practical value.
Hence the confidence felt in the stand
they will take at the polls, and that it
viii be on the eide Of prohibition.

The Counterfeit Capture.

Seizure of a counterfeiting plant in
New York, with press and plates and
quantity of already printed imitation
money of face value of about $15o, 600,
checks the most ambitious scheme of
fraud promoted in many years. Had
it not been for the vigilance of the
Treasury secret service in a short time
this country would have been flooded
with bad money. It is impossible to
compute the losses resulting from this
output Of counterfeits, even though the
product of the plant was not of very
good quality. Most people take money
on faith. Counterfeit detection is not
common, and the task of the "shover of
the queer" is comparatively easy. For
tunately the Treasury agents have been
aware Of the plot to print this fake
money for several months, and in or
der to secure the gang without slip
they permitted the swindlers to proceed
with their preparations until sufficient
evidence was secured to make a clean
haul and to insure conviction. The heav-
lest penalties permitted by the law
should be administered. Counterfeiting
is grave crime at any time, but Just
now, with the country at war, a whole
sale output of false money would have
been particularly harmful The Treas
ury is to be congratulated upon the
skin and watchfulness Of its protective
force, which has now added to its long
record of achievements in defense of
the national currency.

GermanY's New Peace Plan.

The allies are justified in viewing the
latest German peace suggestion with un-
abated suspicion, and in rejecting it as
fraudulent in intent and evil in result.
Nevertheless, it suggests far greater
concessions to the remaining allies than
have ever been limited at before. These
concessions are at the expense Of Rus
sia. Germany hints in effect that she
will yield much on her western front If
she may take what she pleases on her
eastern front.
A very definite advance is marked in
the matter Of the occupied territories in
the west of Europe. Germany proposes,
according to the outline, to rehabilitate
those areas that she has occupied and
devastated, paying for their rehabilita-
tion with her colonies. 1t matters not,
as TO the willingness to evacuate and re-
store-as far as restoration Is now DOS
sible-the lands seized in Belgium and
France, that the colonies which are in eff.
feet offered as the price Of repair have
been wrested from Germany by Eng.
land in the course Of the war. Previous
peace proposals have stipulated the re-
tention Of political authority over Bel.
gium and the return Of the colonies 70
Germany. Now, as these terms are
stated, Germany is willing to withdraw
entirely from Belgium and Franco and
to give up her colonies. Whatever the
terms Of payment, however negotiable,
this new willingness to yield the colonies
and the western European territory is
an advance.
Germany's proposal to surrender a CO.
lonial empire and pretensions to political
rights in Belgium is, Of course, due to
the changed conditions in the east, whsrs

The Miners and the Holidays.

This is taken from a statement issued
by the national officers of the United
Mine Workers of America:
"In normal times it has been the Gus
tom to lay the mines idle during the
week of Christmas holidays, because the
market for fuel could be met without
working during this period, but this
year conditions have changed. Motive
power of railroads has practically broken
down. insufficient car supply makes it
necessary that-every empty car be loaded
as quickly as possible. Therefore, out of
consideration for the public need, we
are calling on the United Mine Workers
of America to take only two holidays
Christmas and New Year. Our patriotic
duty demands that this be done. 1t viii
be a service the people of the nation
will appreciate. We earnestly urge
local presidents, secretaries and mine
committees everywhere to see that this
holiday request IS fulfilled
Excellent. The spirit is of the best
humane and patriotic. Presumably, the
appeal will be needed. AT any rate,
complaints on the score of fuel have
largely to do with the congestion of
transportation. The miners are not un-
der censure at present.
In the past they have occasionally
been. Strikes have occurred which
seemed to have small if any excuse.
Much inconvenience and some suffer
ing resulted. The miners themselves
were among the sufferers. But at this
time-this very grave and important
time-the leaders of the miners have
risen, full stature, to the occasion; and
it is pleasure to compliment them on
their attitude.
Strange that an appeal similar in
strain addressed to Congress should have
failed. Speaker Clark in the House
and Mr.. Borah in the Senate wanted
Congress to forego the usual holiday
recess in the interests of the country's
necessities. The railroad question was
pressing. The House mission fresh
from the Paris conference had just re-
turned with news and views of moment.
Any days developments might show i'm
portant grist for the congressional mill.
Why not keep the mill going, and ready
to receive any days deliverancess
But the big doors were swung to; and
the mill will remain closed for two
weeks. Grist will have to wait.
All should hope that before another
Christmas comes peace Will have re-
turned to the world. This will be the
fourth holiday season running to wit
ness war on SO large and destructive a
scale that mankind is sickened and sad
dened by the experience. But if another
season is added, we shall probably see
conditions at that time of SO appalling
and urgent nature that not only the
miners, but the legislators and every
body else will have to forego festivities
and stick to their jobs

course, the scheme to mako an inde-
pendent state, aunder German plan" Of
the Russian provinces bordering on
Prussia and the Black and Baltic seas
and an Independent state Of Poland un-
der Austrian suzerainty means simply
the extension Of Teutonic authority east
ward. The acquisition Of these areas
would make Germany territoriaHy the
greatest European power, for IL the war
were to end upon any such terms rs
those now proposed Germany would be
in effect the master Of Austria hungary.
Are the allies In q position to raise
any question as to any disposition Bus
sia may make Of her territoryf Nego-
tiations are now on between Germany
and the bolshevik government at Petro-
grad. Long before any real peace ne
gotiations on q major scale are under
taken there may have been settlement
in that quarter over which England,
France, Italy, the United States and
other powers still aligned against the
Teutonic combination will have no con-
troll.
Another advance in concession sug-
gesting is indicated in the matter Of the
Balkan states. Germany now proposes,
it is stated, that Rumania, Serbia and
Montenegro retain their original boun-
daries, save that Serbia shall be given
access to the sea. Everything, Of course,
depends upon the specific terms pro-
posed-questions Of dominant authority
and the like. But in its broad outline
this is a concession.
In one respect there is no gain toward
real peacemaking attitude on Ger
many's part. According to these out
lines Turkey is to remain intact. It is
surprising in view Of the recent events
in Palestine that Germany would dare
to propose this in the peace adjustment.
Does Berlin think there can be any
peace based upon the restoration Of
Turkey at Jerusalemf Does Germany
suppose that the Christian powers will
ever consent to the continuation Of
Turkish authority over the Armenians,
who have been slain and tortured even
more barbarously than have the Bel
gians and the Poles by Germany her
self in this warf

new GERMAN RAIDER
SINKS MANY VESSELS

Rio de Janeiro, Brazil.-Two hun
dred siXty-fve men and two women,
survivors of eleven steamers and sail
ing vessels sunk in the Atlantic,
brought into port another amazing
German raider story
They arrived on the French bark
Cambronne. The new German raider,
according to their stories, is a sailing
vessel with auxiliary gasoline engines.
She flies the Norwegian flag and is
heavily armed. The Survivors claim
ed many of those on board the eleven
ships destroyed by the latest German
sea rover had been drowned or lost
in the sinking of the vessels.
The new German raider bears the
name "Sea Adder" Her commander
is Count Luecker. She left Germany
on Dec. %. Most of her victims were
overhauled and sunk in the vicinity
of Trinidad, according to the survivors.
