Germany. This menace may serve to

Buy One Bond at Least!

Every citizen should do his bit toward
floating the liberty loan, even though
that bit is only as big as a $50 bond. If
100000 people will each take a $50
bond the result is loan of half bill
lion dollars to the government. But
there is a greater advantage than the
mere raising of the money by this wide
spread Of the bonds throughout the pop
ulation. Every one who takes bond
assumes an obligation as a citizen, and
is brought into closer relations with the
government than ever before. He be-
comes more distinctly and definitely a
part of the national organization. So
even though the minimum bond is only
$50 every one should take at least one.
IT can be paid for between now and
August 80. 81 on the first payment, 80
on the second, $40 ON the third and the
remainder in two fifteens Surely, even
in these days of the high cost of living,
there are few who cannot afford such
payments as these in the next three
months and half. And at the end of
that time the bond buyer has $50 saved
and drawing interest. This is an oppor-
funity as well as duty.

save that the government is in confusion,
between the Vaccinations of the Ger

The idea of formal separate peace
between Russia and Germany seems to
have been set back definitely within the
past few days, but there is peril quite
as grave to the cause of the allies in the
d;sintc2ration of the Russian army
through desertions and the destruction
of morale. Germany would, indeed. pre-

Washington and War.

As the capital Of great nation at war,
Washington will be in the future much
more important city than even it has
been before. 1t will have new dignity
before the world, greater than in the
past, a higher significance. It is given
an added responsibility and a wider op-
portunity by this circumstance. "For-
ward Washington" is the latest watch
word for the capital. and it was voiced
last night at the dinner given by the
Chamber of Commerce, at which the
eity's wider vista was disclosed in elo-
quent terms.
Washington, without votes or direct
voice in the affairs of the nation, never
theless exercises distinct influence. 1t
is not an industrial center. nor yet
greatly commercial. It is domestic and
clerical, political without being itself a
political factor. It is unlike every other
city in the United States. There is. in
deed, none like it in the world. The
seat of government based upon the
principle of the fullest participation of
the people in the affairs Of government,
it has no part itself even in the choice
Of its own administrators. Yet it is per-
haps in matters political and interna-
tional better posted, more clearly in
formed than any other community.
Washington will undoubtedly grow as
a result of the war. It will gain in
population as the governments war
works multiply and this city becomes
the center of world spreading activities.
There will be an accretion of industries.
Business will develop as never before.
But with these changes should also
come the realization of Washington's
aspirations. so long denied, the full
measure of American citizenship, the
deprival of which is one of the political
anomalies of the world.

A Great American Lawyer.

Joseph H. Choate's death was prob
ably fastened by his recent activities.
He had been prominent in New York's
demonstrations in honor Of our eminent
European visitors, and at eighty five
such physical test is severe.
He answered the description, "a born
lawyer" He knew himself, and stuck
to his profession. His excursion into the
field of diplomacy did not take place
until he had achieved all the honors of
the bar and could afford what proved
to be virtually long vacation.
The post Of ambassador to Great Brit
ain was "easy" for him. He knew Lon
don before taking up official residence
there. Famous English lawyers and
judges were among his personal friends,
and through them he rapidly widened
his circle of acquaintances after pre-
scnting himself as his country's diplo-
matte representative.
He became toast in London. His
wit soon began to circulate as freely and
enjoyably as it had long done at home
His hosts readily acquired taste for
him, and he went everywhere.
The time was altogether favorable for
such indulgences. No grave questions
tied him to his desk. Routine was not
taxing. And so he devoted his abundant
leisure to making himself agreeable,
speaking in public whenever occasion
offered. and always successfully. His
addresses were widely circulated and
greatly admired. He gave the English
one Of the best accounts Of Mr.. Lincoln
they had ever received from an Ameri-
can by word Of mouth.
In the case Of such a man wonder is
always expressed as to why he did not
turn to politics; and it is usually figured
that success would have attended him
there. Large knowledge Of the law,
marked powers of expression, and un-
tagging industry capitalize handsomely
in politics. Such was Mr.. Choate's equip
ment.
And yet there have been men so
equipped who turned from the law to
politics and failed to score in the latter
field. A conspicuous instance was that
Of Rufus Choate, kinsman Of the man
just dead, and one of the most eminent
lawyers Of his day. His success at the
bar was extraordinary, but in politics
only mediocre. Some of his admirers,
indeed, regretted this yielding to the
temptation to go into politics after ac-
complishing so much in the courthouse.
And, in the end, it has been stated, he
regretted the step himself.

Conferees and Liquidation.

The House and the Senate are differ
ing widely on nearly everything Of
great moment. Both houses are under
democratic control. But both parties in
each house are divided. 1t is literally
case of many men of many minds.
This condition of things increases the
importance of conference committees.
Many measures will in the end show the
influence of work done behind closed
doors. Only few men are present, and
the confa abulations are held in secret.
1t is entirely proper procedure. 1t was
in the beginning, is now, and ever shall
be, legislatures without end. When two
legislative bodies differ as to measure
a conference between them is the only
remedy-the only way out.
Conferees are carefully selected. In
the Senate the Vice President, in the
House the Speaker, names them. The
two officials are guided by the known
attitude Of those appointed. Both sides
Of the matter in controversy are repre-
sented.
While conferences are held in secret,
strict secrecy as to progress is not OBJ
served. The fiction resembles that at.
taching to the executive sessions Of the
Senate. Information filters through
Locked doors do not prison make for
facts seeking freedom. And then vol
untary reports are made from time to
time.
A conference report is not binding on
the house to which it is made. 1t may
be rejected. Conferees may be dis
charged, and new conferees appointed.
Still, conference committee possesses
considerable power. 1t can do much. It
has the opportunity of review. so to say.
A good deal Of legislation has been
shaped in this way.
These sharp differences are not bad
sign. Rather should they make for
good. Congress is experimenting, and
ordering experiments. It needs light,
and should welcome it, from tallow dip
to an electric bulb.
The proof of the pudding is in the
eating. After both House and Senate
have made a conference necessary, and
. conference has adjusted all differences,
it is not possible to know the value Of
the performance until it has been put
into action. And We shall all wait with
some concern the application of what
Congress is now turning out under the
pressure Of extraordinary circumstances.

nrod;.al scale during the psst two or


prodisal scale during the past two or
three weeks has indicated plainly that
the German commanders realize the
vital importance Of holding the lines
where they are, especially in the neigh
borhood of Arras. This is possibly due
to an appreciation Of the fact that
American troops may soon be in France,
and that their arrival will not only add
to the man power Of the allies material
", but will stimulate both the French
and the British to tremendous efforts.
The whole German military policy now
rests upon one hope, that Of holding out
in the field until the submarines have
starved England.

Pounding the German Lines.

The fighting east of Arras, marked
within the last few hours by fresh ad-
vance at Roeux, now held by Brit
ish forces, is practically identical in
character with that of last summer in
the great Sommc aggressive. 1t is
series of comparatively slow forward
movements with intervals of rest and
preparation for fresh onsets and re.
sistance Of fierce German counter at
tacks. Throughout the July offensive
there were pauses and setbacks just as
there are at present in the Arras cam
paign, but steadily the British went for
ward just as the French were doing
south of them then, and as the French
are advancing along the Aisne now.
In this Arras fighting the British are
greatly heartened by the knowledge that
these comparatively slow advances may
have the effect Of precipitating another
general retreat such as that Of last Feb
ruary, when Hindenburg withdrew his
armies from the Bapaume-P Pcronne line
several miles to the east in the hope of
postponing a fresh allied offensive.
What happened in February may hap
pen now at any time in the general
realignment Of the German positions. A
study of the map shows that tile Ger
man holdings in France at present are
weaker than those they possessed year
ago. There are more points Of danger,
as at Lens, at Arras, between st. Quen.
tin and Cambria, at Laon and north of
Rheims. Another retreat, moreover,
would not be possible with as little loss
in men and materials as in February,
when the French and British were un.
doubtedly taken by surprise by the re-
trogrnde movement. In these days of
aircraft it is practically impossible to
play that game twice.
