WILSON IS URGED
TO DECLARE WAR
AGAINST AUSTRIA
PATRIOTS APPEAL TO THE PRES
IDENT TO EXTEND BAT
TIE LINE


WASHINGTON, Sept 5.--A state
ment issued by the Patriotic Educa
tion society urges that the United
States should declare war immediate
ly upon Germany's allies, asserting
that the German secret service is
relying largely upon Austrians and
Bulgarians for information from this
country and asking IF this is war
of democracy against autocracy, how
can be maintain friendly relations
with the most despotic of the great
empires, Austria Hungary"
Instead of refraining from declar-
alton of war against Austria in order
to leave the door open for separ-
ate peace, the society argues, the
United States should take surer
road to peace by lending full support
in war materials to the great Italian
drive through Gorilla.

PHONOGRAPH FOR
OBSERVERS USE

Correspondence Associated Press)
PARIS, August The phonograph
is proving a useful adjunct to obser-
vation officers on duty in the air.
These officers, forced to keep their
field glasses continually on the po-
sitions they are observing, have found
considerable difficulty in making
notes of details as quickly as they
see them. Observation airplanes are
now fitted with a registering phono-
graph into which the officers speak
through an acoustic tube. Thus all
the points the airmen have noted are
correctly recorded for future use.

The Opportunities Fund.

Washington responded most literally
to THO call Of the Associated Charities
and the Central Relief Committee this
year for funds to grasp the fourteen
Opportunities for relief of the needy
poor. Although the amount required
to care for these fourteen groups of peo-
pie during the coming year is larger
than ever before, owing to the higher
costs, it was practically subscribed by
Christmas, only $40 remaining to be
supplied. Last year $5,798 was asked
and it was not all in hand until New
Year. The present fund is 81 1928, and
of this $6,918 was received, including
the Christmas donations, constituting a
most gratifying record Of gifts for this
worthy cause. It is especially comfort
ing that the appeal was given such a
prompt and generous response in view
Of the many demands upon the people
of Washington at this time, with war
imposing burden upon all and with the
higher cost of living affecting every
body.

Coal Stealing.

Only the meanest sort of thief would
steal coal from in front of mans house.
In these days of fuel scarcity it is, Of
course, unsafe to leave coal lying around
loose, but there is q certain sanctity

how . whole ton Of coal was stolen from

TO protect his property is difficult to IN
dexstand. It is impossible to walk off
with load Of this sort without attract
ing some notice. Yet somebody did it in
this case and left no trace. The expert
ence Of the unfortunate loser Of the coal
warns everybody to keep a close watch
on fuel dumped at the curb until it is
safely housed. The job of taking in a
ton Of coal is not particularly pleasant
one, but it is better to tackle it in person
than to lose the now veritable black dia-
monds.

A Federal Housing Bureau.

That the problem of housing the new
workers for the government who have
come since the war began is strictly fed
eral in its nature admits of no question.
In the first place these people are com
ing in response to the governments call.
In the second place the United States
has itself lowered the available housing
resources by taking numbers of build
purposes. So it is appropriate that the
federal authorities should themselves
take hand in the solution of the mat
ter. The Civil Service Commission, it is
announced, is now interesting itself in
the problem, inasmuch as it is feeling
the strain Of getting clerks to fill the
acquisitions pouring in upon it in the
various bureaus. False reports of living
conditions here having gone forth-even
government clerks are living here in
tents-there is noticeable diminution
of enthusiasm for serving Uncle Sam,
particularly as his rate Of pay does not
compare very favorably with that Of
fered in many other lines.
A central federal bureau for the reg
istration of rooms and the accommoda
ton Of new coming clerks is required,
with authority to make thorough sur
vey of the city and with funds to main
tain an efficient administration. If, as
suggested, there are now facilities to
care for all the present and Immediately
prospective newcomers, provided they
will consent to distribution over a rea-
sonable radius from their working
places, these accommodations should all
be listed. If the newcomers themselves
are given sole choice there will natural
ly be competition for the nearer places
Of accommodation, which will tend to
increase the rates. Whereas If CEN
trail bureau takes hold and assigns the
workers to homes-billets them, as it
were-the question Of rates can be regu-
lated and a distribution effected that
will prevent congestion.
Obviously not all Of the newly APP
pointed department workers can find
suitable accommodations within walking
distances of their Offices. But they
should not all go in one direction, to
add to the already grave congestion of
the car lines. The sooner a federal bu-
reau is established on a business basis
the better it will be Washington, for
the clerks and for the government.

viii claim attention. Preparations are
already afoot for a thorough canvass of

already afoot for a thorough canvass Of
the country. Democrats, republicans
and socialists, all are busy. The gem
eral calculation is that the war will still
be in progress. But there is no idea at
present that the war will decide mat
tiers. The socialists will play up pacifi-
cism; but they are hoping for not more
than eight or ten House seats at most.
The two old parties, which united in de-
cIaring the war and have thus far re-
manned united in voting supplies for
conducting it, will keep their faces to
the enemy.
The next Congress, unless called in
extra session. will not meet until De-
cember, 19I9-two years away. 1t would
be useless, therefore. to speculate about
its action on any question, foreign or
domestic. All will depend on the con-
ditions that then exist. If the war
should still be i'll progress, conditions
everywhere will undoubtedly be of the
gravest-not easily imaginable at this
time. And even if the war shall have
closed. conditions will be such as to re-
quire much legislation on non partisan
lines-that is. on lines not closely as
socia BILE with the lines of the past.
The new order, when it fairly opens,
will be one of surprises as well as of
and inaugurating and
steadying it will be task for legisla
tors and executives in size greater than
any presented in many years.

Hoover and the Senate Inquiry.

It should not have been necessary
for the White House TO give out state
ment by Food Administrator Hoover on
the subject of sugar shortage and prices.
Mr.. Hoover himself should have been
given early opportunity to make a
statement before the Senate committee
on manufactures, which is engaged in in
quiring into this matter. The treatment
of Mr.. Hoover by this committee or by
its chairman has been marked by a
prejudice that has aroused public indig
nation. Assaiied by a witness before
the committee, to whom unlimited time
was given for an exposition of his griev
ance, Mr.. Hoover asked for an early
opportunity for rejoinder and was de-
MED several times and placed in a po-
sition of defendant, against whom an
indictment has been brought in court.
Now the administration has taken a
hand and given publicity to a statement
that should in fact have been admitted
to the record Immediately upon the rails
ing of the question. Indeed, it would
federal food administrator as first wit
ness in the inquiry assuming that the
purpose is to ascertain the facts and not
merely to embarrass somebody. The
hostility of the chairman of the com
mittee to Mr.. Hoover personally is well
known. 1t manifested itself when the
food control bill was before the Sem
ate and caused a serious delay in the
enactment of that measure. Now it is
appearing in a manner to threaten the
value of the whole inquiry by this COM
mittee by laying foundation of preju-
dicB and animosity toward the man who
has been selected by the President to
administer the food problem, man who
has earned the confidence Of the peo-
pie of this country by his achievements
in the field of mercy, who is serving
without compensation and who is fac
ing one of the most difficult tasks ever
assigned to an American citizen as a
measure of public duty. Fair play alone
demands that the food administrator
be heard when his enemies assal him.
The statement now given out by the
White House is clear, explicit presen-
tation Of the conditions, showing that
the shortage of sugar was due to ex-
portations to our allies, and that had it
mot been for measures adopted by the
food administration the price charged
the American consumer today would be
extortionate. The fact that sugar is now
geherally obtainable at fairly reason
able prices is the most eloquent vindica-
ton Of Mr.. Hoover's methods, and the
pity is that the Senate committee did
not. grant him an immediate opportun-
ity to make his statement to set the mat
ter straight before the public

percentage granted last spring. the only
question now being whether 1t will stand
at the present figure or increased to
a more adequate scale. The only thing
that seriously concerns the government
workers IS whether in permanent re-
adjustment Of the scale these present
bonuses will be viewed as bringing the
pay rate up to an equitable normal. In
justice to the clerks these bonuses. which
are moderate, should be considered only
as beginning of advancement, especial
" in the lower grades.
When artisans are now getting two and
sometimes three times as much money
weekly as they got a few years ago the
addition of a per cent bonus to the
pay of the lower middle grade govern
ment clerk and 10 per cent to the EN-
ployes of the lowest grade is mighty
cost of living Even with the 10 per
cent bonus it is difficult to see how some
of the government workers with fam
lilies manage to make living. Instances
can be multiplied h. the scores and hun
dreds of men and women suffering ac-
tual privation by doing the work of the
United States. 1t should be unneces-
sary to go into the details of these con
ditions before the committees of Con
gress. which should start with the as
sumption that the pay scale is alto
gether inadequate and seek not merely
temporary, but permanent revision on
liberal basis.
