Nation Should Act Voluntarily.

Washingtonians have not fought
less vigorously and enthusiastically
for their country because these gross
ly unjust Determinations, slurring and
degrading their Americanism, have
not been corrected. They have even
refrained in the national interest from

ed. defective, tainted, and inspires It
in a spirit Of patriotic enthusiasm to
organize itself SO thoroughly that its
whole weight and strength can be
thrown as a unit in support of the
constitutional amendment which Is to
|Americanize it by giving 1t national
representation.
War not only makes natural and op-
perfume the Washingt0nian's thought
of national representation, but brings
to the nation vivid appreciation Of its
shameful lack of political equity in
dealing with the capital community
and prompts 1t to Americanize its cap
ital quickly NJ a wise measure Of war
preparedness and Of a peace Of justice.
Washington's War Record.
While the war lasted Washingtonians
threw themselves into It whole-heart-
|edly. enthusiastically, self-sacrificing-
|ly, like all other good Americans.
They permitted no selfish interest to
hamper or slacken their patriotic ma
tional service in war preparedness and
in war work. More Washingtonians
went as soldiers to war than were sent
by eight of the states; and nearly as
many as were supplied by six other
states. Washington made an even
more striking record in comparison
loaned or paid in war taxes to carry
on the war or to care for, protect and
comfort our soldiers and sailors-in
donations, for instance. to the Red
Cross and the united war drive and in
liberty bond loans.
The District Of Columbia has over
subscribed every war gift and every
war loan. In the third liberty loan.
for example. 1t was exceeded in per-
centage Of oversubscriptfon Of quota
by only three states, and it headed the
list of states in percentage of popu-
lation (36%) who were bond buyers.
More than one in every three Wash
ingtonians thus bought third liberty
bonds. In the great second Red Cross
war-fund drive the National Capital
was first among all the states, terri
tories and cities of the United States
in the combination of both percentage
of quota raised and percentage of con-
tribution to population. In the latest
comparisons of war taxes made by the
internal revenue bureau the District is
shown to have paid in national war and
miscellaneous taxes more than any one
of 16 states Of the Union with 80 sena-
tors and 46 representatives. The Dis
trict has 0 senators and 0 representa-
tives.

SENATOR WARNS
McCumber Makes Strong Plea
For Speeding Up Ship
Building Program

Washington, Ian. l6.-Senator
McCumber, of North Dakota,
today gave the Senate a gloomy
picture of the position of the
United States and her allies in
emphasizing his plea for radical
speeding up of the shipbuilding
program. He declared England was
now bearing the brunt of the war
and asked how long can she stand
this strain?" The United States
must send 100000 troops to balance
the man-power of the central
powers, he said, and 100000 would
be needed to make the Germans re-
treat.
Russia Out of War
Russia and Rumania are out of
the war;" asserted Senator McCum-
Der. Italy is losing ground. France
is unable to make any headway. The
wall of opposition at the eastern end
of the battle line in continental Eu-
rope is crumbling. Who can say
how long Italy can or will with

nation of peoples and no anneNations
for the British empire. Appeal also
is made to the peoples of Germany
and Austria Hungary to support a
policy of elf-determination and no
anneXations.
Apparently no definite course has
yet been decided upon by the German
emperor and his advisers, but the
speech on foreign policies which
Chancellor Won Hertling was to de-
liver before the Reichstag Main Com
mittee has been deferred. The Pan
Germans continue their campaign
against Foreign Secretary Won Kuehl
mann and the Socialists have forced
the Fatherland part, composed of
Pan-Germans, to postpone meetings
favorable to anneXations.
1t is declared by a friend of the
Pan-Gcrmans, Count ReVentlow, that
the peace movement in Germany is
strong and is made up of the Social
lists, a large number of Liberal and
Clericals and many diplomats. These
factions are said to hold the view

Upon Arrest of Bolsheviki

Pctrosrad, Jan. 1f.-Au au-
tomobilc carrying Nitolai len
inc, the BoIShevikl Premier, il
is reported, was fired upon to-
nigH8 when hc was driving TO
meeting of the Codncil of Poo
pies commisSarics. -Four shots
were fired. Premier Lcninc was
not hurt.
The bullets shattered the Win
dOws of the automobile. n MEM
member of the party with the
Premier was wounded slightly
in the hand.
Petrograd, Jan. 14.-The Council
of National Commissioners to-day
sent an ultimatum to Rumania de-
manding the release of the Bolshe-
Wiki arrested there recently, the
punishment of officials who order
ed the disarming of Russian troops
and a guarantee for the future. A
reply was demanded within twenty
four hours, failing which, the ulti-
matum says, extreme measures will
be taken.
Constantine Damandi, Rumnaian
minister. who was arrested Sunday
by the Bolsheviki government, will
be released tonight. This decision,
M. Zatkind, assistant to Foreign Mini
ister Trotzky, informs the Associ-
ated press was taken at q meeting
of the Council of Peoples Commits
saries and after the diplomatic corps
had protested to Premier Lenine.
The diplomats went to the Smolyn
Institute late this afternoon and
nE al
Premier's personal guard of soldiers
workmen and sailors. They were es-
corted to the Premier's private room,
Ambassador Francis in the lead.
Premier Lenine spoke to the diplo-
mats in French. The conference
lasted forty minutes and was car
ried on behind closed doors. The
diplomats left the Smolyn Institute
under the impression that nothing
definite had been accomplished.
Was Brccch of Law
Premier Lenine is said to have
explained to the diplomatic corps
that. he realized the Imprisonment
of M. Diamandi was a breech of in
ternational law. but declared it was
designed as a protest against a sim
liar breech on the part of Ru-
mania in arresting and disarming
Bolsheviki troops. Lenine told the
diplomats he himself could not or
der the release of the Rumanian
minister, but would have to lay the
fmattter before the Council of Peo-
pies Commissaries.
The diplomatic missions represent
