Gen, Harries in Berlin.

Washington takes especial interest
in the announcement that Brig. Gen.
George II. Harries is the first Ameri-
can officer of general rank to enter
Berlin. This is particularly crafty
ing to the people of the capital, among
whom Gen. Harries worked for many
years and to whom he is still fellow
citizen despite his absence for a time
before the war ON business elsewhere.
He goes to Berlin with two aids to
arrange for the repatriation of Ameri-
can war prisoners He will see an in
teresting process, Germany in the
course of reorganization, and doubt
less will be able to report on impor-
tant matters beyond the scope of his
immediate mission to keep the Ameri-
can representatives at Paris Informed
as to the real situation at the German
capital. Gen. Harries' friends in
Washington are gratifed at his selec-
ton for this important task.

port to Congress, has just voiced home

public speech, has just voiced British
sentiment. He expressed to an Eng
ish audience night before last "great
appreciation Of American assistance in
the war;" and declared that without
that assistance ON the sea the allies
could not have won.
In the matter of the Navy, there
fore, Congress has now before it the

Of Secretary Daniels, that of the gen.

slider at its proper value the testimony
Of this English statesman, who, though
not in Office now, was in Office when
the war began, and has kept close
track of all war performances by his
own as well as by other countries.
The result should not be in doubt.
What is asked for the Navy Congress
should grant. The war has COM
mitted US to large expenditures for
some years to come; and none will be
better approved by the people than
those in the interests Of equipping us
with thoroughly adequate sea power
in both of the great oceans. In word,
the American Navy, for American pur-
poses, should be the largest in the
world.

Whether they begin work at an extra

The Sixty-Sixth Congress.

The House republicans are said to be
divided on the question of an extra
session of the Sixty sixth Congress.
Some favor the proposition, and
would be glad to see the call issued
for an early day in the spring. They
are influenced by two considerations.
First, the controversy about the speak
ership They think the sooner that is
settled the better for the party. Sec
ond, the more pressing matters relat-
ing to reconstruction. They fear if
that topic is not taken up before meet
ing time of the first regular session
year hence-Congress on the eve of
the presidential campaign will be
swamped with business. and unable to
make the proper record for campaign
purposes.
Those who oppose the proposition
have no fears on either score. They
rather incline to the opinion that the
nine months between March and De-
cember could be probably devoted to
informal conferences about both the
speakership and reconstruction. They
concede difficulties, but not such as
would grow with the delay.
The decision, of course, is with the
President, and as politics is all alive
now he will probably examine the SUBJ
jeet from every political angle before
acting. And he is not at all likely
to act in a way to relieve the repub-
licans of any of their embarrassments.

jobs for Ex-Soldiers.

Formation Of an organization of
Washington business men to provide
employment for discharged District
soldiers assures that every possible
means will be adopted to assure the
earliest occupation of every man who
leaves the military service. 1t is es-
timated there are about $4,000 Of these
men, and while many of them will go
back to their former employment, their
places having been held for them or
filed only temporarily in their alb
senee, others will, upon their dis
charge from the Army, have no means
of sustenance, and it is for these that
the organization is to provide. A
census of the city is now in progress
by means of the police, and thus the
local committee, which is to cooperate
with the federal employment service,
will speedily have information of value
ill placing these representatives Of the
District in the army of victory. 1t is
to be assumed that every person in
Washington who hires service will en-
deavor to make room for some of these
men. As Commissioner Brownlow said
at the meeting Hast night, the assur-
ance of jobs for the returned soldiers
is far more important than the holding
of victory parades and the waving of
flags upon their arrival at the capital.
The best possible welcome for them
will be an assurance that they Will not
remain idle after their discharge.

The Navy Boards Belief.

Rear Admiral Badger, chairman of
the general board of the Navy, said
YESTERDAY to the House committee on
naval affairs:
sThe general board believes that I'M
der tho present world conditions, and
future. the United States Navy should
steadily continue to increase. Ulti-
uately it should be equal to the most
powerful maintained by any other ma
ton in the world. Year by year de-
velopment should be made as consistent
with the facilities of the country, but
the limit above defined should be at
tanned not later than 1925"
A few years ago 4 deliverance of
this tenor from such a source would
have been received with derision by
all Little Navalites. They would have
characterized it as grounded in mere
sel6shness. We should have been told
that here was an effort to increase the
size Of the Navy in order to increase
he number of "fat" berths and the
pay Of all in the naval service. More.
over, We should have been warned that
a larger Navy would mean a keen
hunt for trouble" and that trouble
would be found. And it was such talk
that bore q part in the starving of the
Navy for long period-too long for
the countrys good.
We shall hear little, if anything, of
such talk today. The Navy has just
demonstrated its value and impor-
tsnca. Hastily increased in size for
war purposes, it performed its part in
the war so as to merit and receive
high praise both at home and abroad.

Americas Chief in France.

President Wilson has arrived in
france On mission of the greatest
importance, such as no other Ameri-
can President ever undertook, such,
indeed, as was never before necessary.
He goes as the chief OF the American
delegation to the international peace
conference to be held at Paris to set
tie the issues arising out of the great
war, to lay a firm foundation for future
peace, to do justice to the nations that
have been injured in the conflict, to
remedy old wrongs and to establish
righteous principles for the interna
tional relations of the future.
a weighty responsibility rests upon
the President on this occasion. He
goes as representative of the Ameri-
can people. He has enunciated GER
tain principles of 4 broad and general
character as his conception of the
foundations of peace, formulated in
the course of the conflict, acceded to
with some reservations by leaders of
the allies and accepted perforce by the
enemy preliminary to the signing of
the armistice as q means of securing
remission of hostilities. Between
these fourteen principles and the
peace treaty, however, is wide range
Of possible variation in the immediate
application of practical adjustments.
Mr.. Wilson reaches France with
high prestige. He is welcomed with
unstinted and sincere enthusiasm. He
will be accorded the highest possible
'lonors during his stay. In the peace
conferences, public and private, his
words will be heard with the utmost
consideration and respect. He will,
however, find Of necessity some con-
tlict of interests, some practical diff
ferences between his enuneiated prin
ciples and the aspirations, claims and
desires of various peoples who have
contributed to the victory over the
central powers.
The prayer of the American people
is that in it's deliberations the Paris
conference will be guided by the high
est consideration for humanity, and
that as adjustments of specific inter-
ests become necessary they will be eff
feeted to the end that peace may PEE
vail. Conflicts are practically inevi-
table. Already they have developed.
But if this war has demonstrated one
fact more clearly than any other it is
that war is the worst possible method
OF settlement of international ques
tions, and if the lives and treasure lost
during the four and quarter years
of conflict are not to be utterly wasted
a new mode of adjustment is to be de-
vised and followed scrupulously in the
years to come.
If the new internationalism does not
reach the point Of league of nations
il should assuredly develop a world
consciousness Of mutual responsibility.
Whatever this community Of interest
may be styled, whatever the means
adopted for its assurance, whatever
practical measures are taken to hold
in leash the ambitious powers that
menace the peace of the world and
the sanctity of treaties and the prin-
ciples Of humanity, the end must be
some union Of thought and spirit and
effort to bring good out Of the great
est evil that ever befel mankind.

MIDDLE NAMES PASSING

The New York Sun believes that
middle names are going out of style.
1t prints a list of prominent men
in this country who have no middle
names, or who have given up their
middle names if they ever had one,
and it calls attention to the fact that
most of the babies christened these
days will have to carry around with
them only one name in addition to
the surname. We have had two
presidents who dropped their first
name and used only the middle name
Stephen Grover Cleveland and
Thomas Woodrow Wilson. John
Quincy Adams was the first Presi-
dent with a double name and there
was no other until Polk. and Harri-
son. Then came Hayes, Garfield,
Arthur and Taft. All the rest of our
presidents have used but two names
the given name and the surname.
Figuring on percentages, the fellow
without a middle name stands bet
ter chance of being President than
one with a double name. That fact
ought to induce mothers to conserve
in the matter of names, and to at
tach only one to the family name
when having the kid christened.-

OUR LATIN TRADE

r IMPORTS from the Spanish-Am-
erican countries during the first
nine months of the current year
reached a total of sS5S,2S7, 900, or
about 3S per cent. of our entire i'm
port trade for the period. Exports
TO those countries reached a total
for the period of S4s7 100000, or
about IL per cent. of our total ex-
port trade. The countries included
are British Honduras, the Central
American States, Mexico, the West
Indies, Uncluding Cuba) and South
America.
During the first nine months of
1913, our total import trade from
these countries aggregated $340, 0,000,-
900, or 25.6 per cent. of our grand
total, and exports to them totaled
1854, 900, or about Is per cent
of the grand total of our export
trade with all the world. During
the first nine months of 1914, under
the low tariff law, and consequent
depression at home, imports from
these countries jumped to s401, ,3o0.-
600, or nearly 80 per cent. of the
total, while exports fell off to $197,-
100000, or nearly II per cent. of the
total. Such trade as we have now
worked up with these countries
thanks to the war, we should like
to keep after the war, but that can
not be done unless we return to the
policy of protection which guaran-
tees us our own home market and
such maximum operation as will
cheaper production to point where
we can compete with our foreign
trade rivals in Spanish American
markets.
