ENECLARING that the national savings
4 y campaign is of increased Importance
with the coming of peace, Frederic
W. Allen, war savings director for greater
New York, has issued statement announc-
ing that the war savings workers through
out the city will continue their efforts to
push the sale of thrift and war savings
stamps.
"The vital necessity of continuing the
sale of stamps has become more imperative
than ever BEFORE" Mr. Allen stated yes
terday. with the tremendous obligation
of rehabilitation and reconstruction, it is
urgent that every American citizen prac-
tise conservation to the utmost and make
permanent the thrift habit which has been
developed in the past year by the war saw
ings campaign.
"Victory for the Allied forces was made
possible by the hearty response Of the
American people to the various appeals to
lend their money to the United States gov
ernment and to conserve food clothing and
fuel that were much needed by the army
and navy of the United States and it's allies.
The people of this country have readily
come forth with their dollars to the aid of
the government when called upon to do so
and have gone without non-essentials to
make victory possible But some of these
people are of the impression that now the
war is over they need no longer continue
the purchase of war savings and thrift
stamps.
"The reconstruction period however, is
ahead of US. Consistent conservation and
saving will be more than ever necessary to
enable the government to bring home the
100000 American troops that have helped
to turn the tide against Germany and her
allies. There is also an army of two mill
ion men in the camps and cantonments on
this side of the ocean which will shortly be
demoblized; and there are four million men
working IN war industries, munition fac
tories, ETC., who must very soon find en-
ployment elsewhere. Large sums will also
be needed to reconstruct devastated Europe
and to bring it back to what it was before
the outbreak of the world war The gov
ernment is just much in need of funds
now as 1t was before Germany surrendered
its arms to Marshal Foch and the Allies.
The advent of peace should be dedicated
to careful and serious living and earnest.

sponsibilities at this time"

The News in Paris
By Our Paris Correspondent, hampton Hunt

one who witnessed it will ever forget.
The next morning Paris began soon
after o'clock to insist on observing the
day as an unofficial but indisputable
public festival No official plans of any
kind were announced, but little inde-
pendent professions began to form
themselves in every square and railroad
station as trains brought hundreds of
thousands of people to their work.
BY 9 o'clock the problem had to be
faced how to make the shops close. The
solution was delightfully."- simple. When
ever procession of joyous strikers
came to an open shop door they headed
for it, marched in with closely locked
steps, singing as they went, perambulat-
ed to every part of the premises, up
stairs and down, and regained the
street, carrying most of the shop staff
with them.
Tradesmen and managers of work
rooms protested with a good humor that
belied their words, and then pulled down
the shutters with a smile and FASTENED
off themselves to join in the days joy
making
Not a shop was left open in the main
streets of Paris, except restaurants and
cafes. All the pent-up JOY, held back
by four years of anxiety, with no Mardi
Gras, no Fourteenth of July, no pleasure
making of any kind-nothing but
tense, bitter determination to beat the
Boche-had to find an outlet with these
joy-loving people, and it has.
The public authorities then joined in
the manifestation. Military bands be-
gan to be heard and airplanes flew over
the city in the afternoon. A notable
thing was that there was no sign of the
people celebrating tho end of the war or
even the signing of an armistice The
word armistice, in fact, was transformed
into capitulation. What Paris celebrat-
ed was neither the cessation of fighting
nor the surrender of the enemy, but
victory, complete, final and indisputable,
that wiped out the stain of 1871.

(Wiilidm Allen White in Tho E,nporlo. Kan.

The Republican party should not consider
Tuesdays result as victory; it is merely
an opportunity. 1t is not an Endorsement,
but protest and chance to redeem itself.
Any other attitude on the part of Republi-
can leadership will be fatal to the future of
the party. At the election the two wings
of the party united. But the prodigal son
who in did not sneak in the back
door; he came in the front door with a
brass band, and now he wants the roast
veal. His roast veal is thoroughgoing
progressive policy for the Republican
party.
There is just one Republican leader who
can develop that policy, and that leader is
Theodore Roosevelt. He may not enter the
promised land of the Presidency; that is
really unimportant. But he is the only
Moses who, for the next eighteen months.
can formulate and put through policy OF
progressive reconstruction
We are not going back to the old order.
The railroads never will be what they
were year ago; labor will not be sold
again in the open market; the society of
nations never again will be freebooter's
paradise. Price making of necessities like
wheat, meat, fuel and cloth will never again
be left to spectators on exchange. Life
for the average man after this war will
contain more than it held before of creature
comfort, of civilized ;menties
But these things will not happen auto-
matlcally. They will happen only if the
Republican party in majority in Congress-

then the Democratic party will come into
power for generation as the liberal party
of this nation.
That is the prospect before the Republi-

Luxembourg Emerges

American troops are now on the way
to occupy the tiny grand duchy of
Luxembourg. They will be received as
liberators. Luxembourg was, equally with
Belgium, a victim of German perhdy
to states whose neutrality and territorial
integrity the German government was
pledged by treaty to respect and to
maintain against attack.
1t was Luxemburgs misfortune to fur
nish, like Belgium, an easy pathway into
France. So German military neces-
sit" meaning German advantage
overrode all international obligations.
The Grand Duchess Marie made feeble
protest against the German OCCUPATION.
But she contented herself with this slight
homage to her status as an independent
sovereign She did not flee before the
invaders. After short time she recon-
ciled herself to the situation and estab-
llshed tolerant relations with the mill
tary authorities and with the German
court. Only few months ago she con-
sented to the betrothal of one of her
younger sisters to Grown Prince Rup-
precht of Bavaria, who had achieved
odious notoriety in Belgium by his Sc
verify to the helpless civilian subjects of
King Albert, his brother-in-law.
The people of Luxembourg did not
share her complacence toward German
rule. They could offer no resistance to
the Kaiser's armies. But they never
wavered in their desire to cast off the
German yoke.
Now that the German terrorist has
vanished, the people are raising their
voices against the government which
misrepresented them by condoning the
violation of its sovereignty. 1t is re-
ported from Switzerland that the Lux
emburg Parliament has demanded the
abdication of the Grand Duchess Marie.
She has agreed, it is said, to step down
and out if a popular vote is taken and
the verdict goes against her. The tide
is running strong against autocratic
monarchy in all the states Of Central
Europe, and there is little doubt that a
free election, under an American occu-
patton, will result in the deposition of
the Grand Duchess, to be followed by
the proclamation of a provisional re-
public.
Luxembourg has an area of 900 square
miles and population Of about 250,-
900. Here are rather scanty materials

The Good Fight

N'rom The San Francisco Mining and Scientific
r TEARTY thanks from the public are
due to The New York Tribune,
which has been conducting vigor-
Gus and effective campaign against Hearst
and his reptile press. The Tribune is Re-
publican and Hearst, unfortunately for his
party, is Democratic, but we assume con-
tidently that the attack by The Tribune is
not made for POLITICAL but patriotic rea-
sons; otherwise would not commend it
so unreservedly. 1t is true Hearst caused
placards purporting to be an official con-
demnation of The Tribune to be posted in
postofices and railroad stations, but the
Postoffice Department., on September 26,
issued a notice to postmasters ordering
them to remove such posters from their
Offices.
The forces Of commercial graft and
press prostitution have combined to fight
The Tribune in New York When that
great newspaper began it's exposure of
Hearst's devious ways, the newsdealers
joined in the fight, refusing to sell the
intolcrable number, as our readers are
aware Thereupon the members of the
New York Publishers Association, except
The Tribune, decided to treat the action
of the newsdealers as an illegal boycott
This meant that any newsdealer that re-
fused to sell Hearst's "American" or
Journal" or reduced his daily orders for
them, could buy no other morning or even
ing paper.
This compelled The Tribune to announce
that it would sell its papers through all
newsdealers alike, whether they handled
the Hearst papers not. To this the
Publishers Association replied by COM
manding that the circulation of The Trib-
une be restrained; it notified the American
News Company not to deliver The Tribune
to anti-Hearst newsdealers. The news
company, which enjoys absolute control of
the distribution of morning papers in New
York, refused to deliver The Tribune to
newsdealers that had either cancelled or
reduced their orders for the Hearst papers
At this point The Tribune had to decide
either to compromise or lose control of its
own circulation. 1t chose to continue the
ers' economic difficulty by decreasing the
price of its paper from $1.40 to $12O per
hundred. Immediately the news company
refused to deliver The Tribune to any
newsdealer except at the old price Not
content with debating to whom The Trib-
une should be sold, the news company de-
creed the price at which that rplendidly
belligerent paper should be sold. To this
The Tribune replied by organizing it's own
delivery system most costly operation
The Tammany administration of New York
revoked the licenses of the anti-Hearst
newsdealers, whereupon injunction pro-
ceedings and ncipient riots ensued The
good fight proceeds.
We give an account of these events in
order to arouse public support in behalf of
The Tribune, to which we extend our COM
pliments and best wishes. Delenda est
Hearstiana!

DARIs, Nov. 16.-The whole-heart-
ed joy of Paris in the hour of tri-
umphant victory was revelation
even to those of us who have lived here
for several years. The wonderful, spon-
taneous manifestation which began at
ten minutes of II in the morning, when
the news of the signing Of the armlstlce
was first made public, reached its climax
at 8 o'clock in the evening, when Marthe
Chenal appeared on the balcony of the
Opera House and sang the "Marseillaise"
before the crowd of 10000 which filled
the great square in front.
Mile. Chenal is the most famous sing
er of the French national hymn in the
world. She portrays in herself the i'm
posing figure of French womanhood un-
der which the republic is usually typi-
fed. The whole of triumphant France
stood before us in the person Of this
nobly formed woman; from her golden
throat rang out the music which in
spired millions of the children of the
republic to fight and die or conquer for
Lid rance.
Then the whole enormous crowd took
up the refrain. Men, women and chill
dren sang like one colossal, victorious
soul, and with an individual fervor that
was almost religious, nay, that was re-
ligious in the truest sense of the word,
for the highest aspirations Of France
breathed in it,
People sang with the tears rolling
down their cheeks. A widow standing

Grand Duchess. The people of the coun-
try never had voice in determining
their political status. They were passed
about from hand to hand to fit the
exigencies of European politics, France
fearing that the duchy would be abb
sorbed by Germany and Germany fear
ing that it would be absorbed by France.
Now the inhabitants will have their
first chance at self-determination. If
they decide to set up for themselves, the
peace conference will not feel disposed
to disregard their wishes. Some of
them desire to unite with France, their
closest neighbor-now that Alsace-Lor-
raine has been recovered-and their nat
ural economic consort in the new order
of Europe. Others may wish to be re-
associated with Holland, or to be incor-
porated into the kingdom of Belgium.
The main thing is that they shall
make their own choice. The existing
government is German in form and
spirit. It is out of date. They them
selves have been pawns for centuries
in the game Of kings fighting to main
tain or upset the balance of power in
Europe. Now they are free. There
will be a new balance of power in Eu-
rope, based not on imperial policies, but
on racial and national equities. And at
the new table Of concord the little peo-
pies will have seats as we'll as the great.

New-York tribune., 1918-11-19
Denocratizing the Senate

Senator Norris has just introduced a
resolution which aims at achieving a
larger measure of equality and denloc-
racy in the upper branch of Congress.
He is the right man to make the move,
for he led the fight in the House of
Representatives ten years or more ago
which routed Cannonism.
Under Cannon the House had suf-
fered from one-man rule. 1t broke
away from the old-time Czarism, to it's
own lasting benefit. The Senate has
suffered from the rule of small cliques.
In Aldrichs day he was as much die
tator as Cannon. But before him and
after him power lodged to an excessive
extent in the hands of few of the
senior members of the major standing
committees.
This concentration came about natu-
seniority. Senators of long service in
evitably worked their way into the
major committees. Rising to the top of
these, they practically monopolized ap-
pointments to serve on committees of
conference on all the most important
bills. And nowhere does a Senator's
individual power count more than in
conference, where the final touches are
put on legislation.
Mr.. Norris does not challenge the
principle of seniority directly. That
principle is imbedded deep in the Sen
ate's traditions. 1t will be hard to dis
lodge it, But it's application can be
e. .circumscribed through a simple device
which the House of Representatives
adopted several years ago and which
Mr.. Norris seeks to introduce into the
Senate.
The House voted that no chairman of
committee should be a member of any
other committee. The Senate is a small
body. So it is impracticable to deny to
chairmen of committees membership on
any other committees. But it is practi-
cable to provide, as Mr. Norris's resolu-
ton does, that the chairman of any one
on Appropriations, Finance, Foreign
Relations, Interstate Commerce, Judi
ciary, Military Affairs, Naval Affairs
and Postofices and Post Roads-shall be
barred from service en- the seven others.
Such rule would distribute the au-
thority now centred in few men. 1t
would broaden the opportunities of
junior Senators, which are now nearly
negligible. 1t would widen responsible
ity for legislation. The organization in
control Of the Senate would become more
representative of the party which
elected it, and few states would no
longer dominate the majority of the
states, as they now do under an ex-
treme application of the system of SEMI
ority and cumulative committee appoint
ments.
Congress should become freer and
more self-dependent. Then it would
regain much Of the public respect which
it has forfeited. Mr.. Norris's reform
is helpful. The country will welcome
its adoption.
