war and would not have been in the position to make
war; if it had not been for robbng France Of Aisace
Lorraine
By taking these provinces Germany took over the
Sarre Basin with its great coal fields It is true Ger
many already had considerable portion Of the coal
fields of Europe but the advantage Of the Sarre de-
posits is their location The big thing the Prussians
gained was the Briey and Longwy iron deposit How
important these fields to Germany Is indicated BY
the fact that in 1913 Of 2oooooo tons of iron
tracted in the German Empire, 7I,ooocoo were from
the mines which once belonged to the French.
Furthermore, the possession of Alsace and Lor-
raine gave the Germans convenient point from which
to spring upon France and seize the important coal
and iron fields that still belong to that country
The whole thing, therefore, gets down to a coal
and iron basis. Allow Germany to hold Asace and
Lorraine and she is allowed to possess forever iron
fields essential to her war-makng ambitions. More
over, she is enabled to cripple the great French de-
mocracy by marching at into the fields where
the source of greatest supplies of French coal and
iron.
The demand of France that her stolen provinces be
returned to her virtually amounts to demand for an
insurance policy for the peace of Europe. France
wants to live at peace with her neighbors. She will
be allowed to. long as an unscrupulous Ger
many has all the iron she needs.
Take away the iron fields and Germany is like a
savage dog whose teeth have been extracted

Glorious France.

Making every allowance for the fine work of the
British and Italians in the world conflict this is in
very special Frances 1t is France at which
the Kaiser aims his most savage and smashing blows
1t is France he is seeking to ruin by killing her men,
sending her women to untimey graves, starving her
children, looting her factories and destroying her
orchards.
And amid all this wreck and ruin there stands that
glorious country returning blow for blow-the marvel
of admiring world.
She stopped the Huns at the Marne. Almost alone
she sustained the attacks the Somme. By herself
she replied to the barbarans at Verdun She is still
holding $50 miles of the 45o-mle front Her troops
are repeling attacks along the Asne. They are CO.
operating with the British in the latest thrust in Flan
ders.
AT Saloniki the best troops are French The routed
troops of Rumania reorganized by French officers
Belgians and Serbs and Greeks have been equipped
and rearmed by the French. The arsenals of France
have furnished the big guns and the ammunition not
only for the splendid French armies but also for some
of the allies France has spent SI85oooooooo for war
purposes of which only sI,soooooooo were borrowed
and she loaned SIyooo.ooo,ooo to friendly nations
And all this magnificent record has been achieved
despite the fact that of the best of her iron coal
agricultural and industrial districts have been in the
hands of the brutal invader.

The United State, Must Sanction Repri.aIs.

Germany has not repented her Zeppelin folly. She
i callous TO the savagery of her warfare upon non
combatants upon women and children, instanced
BY her latest aerial raid upon Southeastern England
The futilty of these raids possibly will dawn upon
the German mind sooner than the barbarity of them
will But there is sin that the Prussan military
overiords appreciate how much wasted energy is in
yolved in these air attacks upon Britain They are
designed primarily as species of intimidation but it
is clear now that they do not intmidate. They have
failed of their purpose and only German mind would
fail to see that fact
Some way, however, must be found to penetrate
the thick Teuton skull way of teaching him the
costliness and futy of this whole silly, outlaw Zep
pein business Britain some weeks ago announced
policy of air reprisals. She has not yet started on
this campaign, but she will do so soon. There was
recently an experimental bombing of the cities of
Frankfort, Karlsruhe and Strassburg. Apparently
they were effective; at least much so as the raids
upon England. They must be continued with increas-
ing strength and energy That is the only way OF
beating hard fact into the Prussan mentality.
Within a few months the question will confront
the American government; how far must it sanction
and participate in these reprsals German noncom-
batants? The answer is plain 1t must give them Its
full sanction, and energize the policy by placing its
own ayiators and aeropanes at the disposal OF the
managers of the reprisal policy Only in the event OF
sudden abandonment of the German raids upon
allied territory can there be any thought of renqus
ing the reprisal measures.
When the full American air feet is the Euro
pean battle front, the question of bombing Teuton
muntion plants, supply depots junction points, etc.
will be brought up for consideration These must be
considered entirely apart from the question OF re-
prisaL The vital work of aeroplanes must be done
behind the German lines, control of the air is
gained

Sweden's Sorry Plight.

Sweden as a pro-German agent and tool is in
ternational enigma
The brutality of Teuton treatment of her shipping
has again been illustrated. Sweden has suffered heay-
ily from the submarine, of her vessels getting
the "spuros versent treatment she is victimized
by the new German commerce raiders.
The dispatches from London say that, after the
two conveying British destroyers were sunk in the
hattie the raiders proceeded ercey to the destruction
of t1 Swedish nd Norwegian merchantmen. No
sagtuTs s.J seizIr rnd you, safety for the crews;
but test-aaon OF he cold-blooded type that
WhiaE -'a E-h0ats indulge in 1t more excuseless
tran a. submarine formula, because for the U-boat
aInos, su,ia. % attempt to capture ship under
normal circumstances.
Sweden, apparently, submits to this barbarous
treatment and continues on her pro-Teuton way At
least her governing powers pro-Teutonic; al
though doubt whether her business element, her
shipping interests and her people at large SYM
pathetic to the waning of the central powers
But that makes difference with the powers-that-
be at Stockholm. Through fear. cowardice or other
motive. they committed to the German cause.
Norway suffered even more heavily than Sweden
in this battle She will doubtless protest to Berlin
and will be told that the merchantmen had the same
status as men-of-war, being under convoy The point
that the convoy sunk before the shipping was de-
stroyed will not enter into the logic of the Berlin
admiralty.

The End of the War.

The solicitude of the country over the date when
the war will end is natural OF course Representa-
tives who just being beseged from all sides to
give their opinion on it, know more about it than
any other set of citizens They only predict
and guess, and that is just what all of do
The end, however, may be looked for not when the
Kaiser wills it, the governments of any of the
allies 1t will when the great German peo-
pie themselves to realization of their ptfuy
unfair position in it, when they persuaded, either
by the deserton of Austria their own stupendous
losses that they have nothing to gain and everything
to lose by continuing longer in the conflict.
Some statesmen say it will take FIVE years to make
the German people reach that point Others say an
other winter particularly if the allies continue their
present offensive will bring the Germans to their knees
In either event, however, the of opinion is
that the longer peace is deferred the enduring
it will necessarily be when it does arrive.

The Face of France.

Out of the agony and sweat,
Out of the mortal sacrifice
Out of the high heart that could yet
Twine garlands as it gives and dies
In the dire vigils of the West,
By the hard tears and blood their scroll,
Dark in the sackcloth and beaten breast
Men say, France, you have borne a soull"
The Lord He pitieth all scaled eyes
Come, pity. you now the gaped struck view!
Pity you, the sheep surprised
Always, Lily of France-you knewl
You were dancer at ball,
Larking in painted hose and basque
You were a belle at a carnival
Tickling fools with wig and mask
Pierrette, coquette, shaped and trig.
Dance We follow But hark-a wordi
Now who comes leaping through mask and wig?
Who shines and towers there with a sword?
Pierrette? Paas? Nay, hear the clear call
Ringing round on the dumfound dance;
Enough, enough Of the mime and ball
Mummers, have done! 'Tis II Tis Francel
Look at me, mind me, now in mine eyes!
When was laggard for paint, for playl
My bugles, blow mel my children, risel s.,
My day of glory has dawned todayp
France, by your agony and sweat,
By your immortal sacrifice
By your own knightliness that yet
Plucks purple as it pours and dies
In the white honor that now filings all
For honor white, nor recks the chance
You have but let the veiled years fall,
And turned the self-same face of France.

Was Not Appreciation.

Making an address, Senator John w. Weeks of
quently shown hstrionc art and recalled little story
along that line:
During the summer months travelling theatrical
company stopped for night in a country town, and
while the star was standing in the wings waiting for
the curtain to rise there to his welcome what
sounded like hand-capping in the audience.
Fine! Finer he happily remarked to a native EN-
ploye, who was standing near. That shows how
greatly am appreciated"
What does" asked the native, turning a question
ing look the other.
- why. that applause" responded the star actor
That glorious hand-clapping"
That isn't applause the disappointing re-
Joinder of the native. That's the audience swatting
mosquitoes"- Philadelphia Telegraph.

from papers which were most insis-
tent in calling 1t weekly to this MEM
ber's constituents.
While lyceum dates have not ap-
pealed to members 10 the same ex-
tent as chautauqua dates have. the
belief here is that the circuits will
not see many statesmen upon them
during the coming fall and winter.
The work Of the regular session will
be heavy enough to demand their
time and attention. and there will be
many important problems for which
solutions must be worked out 1t
is going to be a long session and a
hard one-and the hope is that the
members can get through in time to
devote their energies to campaign
ing next year. The more work done
this winter the sooner summer ad-
journment will be reached. the mem
bers realize.
The Washington herald., 1917-10-22
Coz the Subject.

A cloak-room discussion of Senator
Goff, OF West Virginia, brought out
many interesting views one day to-
ward the end of the recent session.
A Western Senator who has many
ideas. some Of them practical. thought
it should be against the law" for
a man to draw salary as Senator,
retired district Judge and an ex-
soldier and then give not a mo-
ment's time to the country's busi-
ness.
A Senator who overheard that re-
group asked "Who does that, any
way?"
"Goff, to be sure" was the reply
and the inquirer nearly toppled into
his chair because he hadn't sus-
pected that a real flesh-and-blood
Senator could be SO versatile with
regard to salary collections.
The opinion OF the majority Of the
members present, based on informa-
tion several OF them had received.
was that Senator Con- would not run
for reelection largely because he
couldn't reach that goal, 1t is said.
They say he has realized tlat for
some time past But he mas 1t on
his critics, for while they :an cut
him off from the salary of $50 a
year. they are wholly unable to sep
arate him from his war and judicial
pensions. He will draw them no mat
ter what the political changes may
be in West Virginia.
Senator Con- FIRST began to be absent
from the Senate because of minor
illness. Eventually he stayed away
altogether. however. even during the
very important days when the great
est war measures were to come up
for action.

Business and Uncle Sam.

Members of Congress who have been
busying themselves with the problem
OF telling what business in general
owes Uncle Sam are now being food
ed with suggestions on the duty of the
government owes business during the
war period. The reciprocal ends
sought are shown very clearly in some
OF the documents. particularly the
one which the Chamber of Commerce
OF the United States sponsors.
In this document II Is related that
business must dedicate to the nation
every facility 1t has developed and
every financial resource 1t commands,
on such terms and under such circum-
stances as our government shall deter
mine to be just. Business owes the
duty to submit unhesitatingly to such
regulation and such control by the
government as may be necessary to
concentrate the industrial resources
and energy of the country toward win
ming the war"
Then the same document points out
the obvious duty, as 1t claims, OF the
government toward business. 1t says:
THE duty which the government owes
business is equally clear. The gov
ernment owes business the duty of
wise and constructive leadership. The
control over business carrier with it
the responsibility that the control be
exercised in a manner to produce the
results desired, and to impose no nee
eSsary hardship. In meeting this great
responsibility the government can
command the full help and assistance
OF business. Side by side the problem
may be worked out in mutual cooper
alton"
Now, members are wondering II
they lived up this conception of the
governments duty. They declare that
the desire to do so. taking into con-
sideration the needs of the public at
large. was just as keen as the desire
of business to have 1t done. The con-
sensus of opinion is that time will
have to reveal the accomplishment or
failure Of this-that 1t is not entirely
possible to make a statement on 1t

Why Germany Clings to Alsace.Lorraine

The average person when he reads German pro-
nunciamentos that they will war on forever rather
than consider giving up AlsaceLorraine taken from
the French after the war of 1870 thinks it is due to

quest. But there is than sentimental reason

Simmons and Kitchin.

Strangely enough the last Congress
sional Record issue of the extra ses-
sion, which was printed under date
OF October IL and which has there
fo-e just reached members offices.
contains the speeches Of Senator Sim
mons and Representative Ralph kitch-
report.
These men are likely to be op-
ponents for the Senatorial toga in
North Carolina next year. They have
been on opposite sides in this fight
and Kitchin, particularly. has been
careful to see that his position all
along on this legislation has been
opposed to that of his solonistic su-
Terior. Speeches from this issue Of
the Record are therefore quite likely
TO be circulated in North Carolina to
the utmost hamlets, for It may be-
come the deciding factor in the race
between these two members for the
DEM cratic nomination.
Members who have commented on
the matter say that they have SYM
pathy for the electorate of State
where the war revenue bill will be
utilized as campaign ammunition. For
here IN Washington, It is thought
that the rank and file generally will
find 1t much harder to understand.
In fact, II would be impossible to

the public at large carries on an

On the Circuit.

Less money was made this year by
members Of Congress than in any
year since chautauquas became the
rage. says a member who keeps track

statesmen. He attributes this, of
course. to the desire of most of the
members to be on war duty. Here
and there some of the members man
aged to take brief respites from their
work and make hundred or two
per diem, but those are few and far
between and the total earnings of
the number would not buy many
liberty bonds.
One Of the members who picked up
more In this direction than his fell
