Bolo Pasha, the Levantine fnancier
who conspired to break down the
French morale and to bring about
dishonorable peace and who was
financed by Germany, was found guilty
of high treason and sentenced to death.

the government. Recent reports from
Stockholm said certain Red guard lead

The Circle of Divine Love.

Christmas reverses creation. One
gave us man in the image of God
while the other gave US God In the
image OF man. The two complete the
circle of divine love. That the gods
should come down in the likeness OF
man was long recognized as uni
versal possibility. And yet Christ
mas stands alone. 1t has no coun-
terpart in all the recorded NANTES
tatiOnS of deity. The story is natural
when one recalls of whom it was
written. That man like Jesus should
have entered the world Oy a special
door is not strange. He was different
from all others. The wine press of his
life no one could tread but himself
That night belongs 10 no calendar
The very stars wore their brightest
faces, when from before the depths
Of space God drew aside his curtains
Of richest blue. Jesus did not come
alone.

VALUE is ONLY SENTIMENTAL
mired of Evergreen Plants But
Is Practically Worthless.

Perhaps none of our evergreen
plants is more loved and admired
than the mistletoe, with its modest
yellowish-green leaves and its clus-
tiers of small white berries. For CEN
turtles 1t has been considered an i'm
portant feature of the Christmas dec
Grafton. Yet, in regard to the real
value of the plant the mistletoe is
practically worthless.
II is a small shrub comprising more
than four hundred known species,
mostly tropical and parasitic. !. the
eastern and southern parts the
United States the common stletoe
grows on various species Siecidu-
Gus trees. In Europe. 1t seems to pre-
fer the apple-tree to any other host.
1t sends its roots through the bark
of the tee and draws sustenance
from the sap. However, it is only
partial parasite, for it has green
leaves which enable it to SO some
work in maxim food for itself.
In 81 .ecies of mistletoe the
flow - SNOWY, while those of
other Specia Is are more modest. The
pistils ant StamenS do not grow with
in the same flower, o. even on the
same plant, but the ate flowers
grow on one plant ana staminate
on another.
The berries contain fiat seeds, sur
rounded by very sticky substance,
from which birdlimc may be made.
This birdlime is s,read upon places
frequented by birds, to impede their
movements aud render them easily
captured. In similar way it may be
used 10 snare ground squirrels and
other small animals. This is the only
practical use that has ever been made
of the miStletoe.
The plant grows very slowly, and
mot until it is four years old does
ii bear its first White, translucent ber-
ries. However, II drains the vital
juices necessary 10 the growth of the
tree, and when many lunches find
Judgment upon the same tree, they ul-
timately cause its decline and death.

he would assume that the enemy was

the ship was in truth a vessel Of mercy.
He would have stopped it and he would

to correct it. But there is no COM

apology for the blunder. There is no

Dr.. Woodward's Resignation.

A long and faithful service closes
with the resignation of DIR. William C.
Woodward as health officer Of the Dis
tricr, who goes from here August !
to Boston to become health officer of
that city. DR.. Woodward, Washing
!tonian by birth and education, has been
at the head of the municipal depart
nent of health for nearly quarter of
a century, and in that time has proved
his eminent capacity to deal with diff
cult problems and to conserve faith
fully and actively the welfare of the
capital. Handicapped continuously by
meager appropriations for the main
tenance of his work, he has kept the
health standard of the District high.
In emergencies of threatened cpl
denies he has safeguarded the COM
munity from danger by his prompt and
effective measures. In losing him to
Boston the District feels that it is suf-
fering for the larger city's gain. 1t is
gratifying that he is to be succeeded
in his position here by one whose long
service in his present capacity insures
a continuance Of the efficient methods
that have kept Washington one Of the
healthiest cities in America-Dr. Fow-
Ter.

Tie Unchanging Hun.

Germany's latest atrocity on the
high seas, the sinking Of hospital
ship and the ramming Of its wreckage
in an obvious design to destroy the
survivors, shows that nothing is changed
in Berlin. The same brutal spirit pre-
walls there. The men who 70 forth
in the U-boats are charged with the
duty of staying. They have NO latitude
Of discretion. They are to do as much
damage as possible.
The pretense that the Llandovery
Castle, plainly marked as a hospital
ship, was being used as a transport for
American aviators 10 the old plea Of
bad faith often heard in this war. Ger

innovation Of a woman administering

this branch of the judicial work. Her

be her mainstay in this duty, but there
is demanded in Juvenile Court work

Taking the Offensive From Austria.

| Singing lashes of the Italian mill
tary whip continue to fall upon Aus
tria. Confidence, built upon shallow
promises and bombastic utterances of
Austrian military leaders that Italy
was to be overrun, is being shaken.
Serious defeat after defeat has been
inflicted upon invading armies since
! they first essayed to further press on
to Venetian plains to slay, pillage and
burn. And it is in this business of
weakening the enemy by shaking his
determination and his will that Gen.
Diaz has accomplished much through
offensive operations in recent days on
the mountain front skirting the plains,
that section of the line where the issue,
"ShaH Italy be further overrun," is to
| he decided.
The capture Of Col del Rosso, Col
de Chelo and especially Monte di Val
Bella. though important from a strict
Is military standpoint, nevertheless has
greater bearing in its effect upon Aus
trian soldiers Following Immediately
upon the terrible reverse suffered along
| the Piave and the admission by Pre-
mier Wekerle of Hungary that the
Austrians suffered more than 10000
casualties, the recent victories of Ital
ian arms undoubtedly also will tend
further to undermine civilian conf
dence and whet the appetite for peace.
The mountain front is the real front
in Italy at the moment. If Austrians
are to overrun Italy it is evident they
must overwhelm Italian, French and
British forces between Lake Garda and
the Piave. Owing to extremely trying
conditions elsewhere, the
Austrians undoubtedly viii continue
attempts to sweep down on either side
of the river Brenta. Good military
tactics demand this. The whole Ital-
ian line to the east of the Brenta, were
the enemy successful in his purpose,
Hould naturally be forced back. Bas
sano. were this achieved, would afford
an excellent pivotal point for further
offensive operations because of the
lines of communication which center
there.
If the Austrians can break through
the mountains they have some show of
achieving all their fixed purposes. If
they do not they are doomed to utter
failure for all time to come. So far
The Austrian attacks have not only been
repulscd, but the enemy has been ter
ribly punished in Italian operations of
the past few days. Instead of utiliz-
ing to the fullest their early advan-
tage of initiative in offensive endeavor
they are finding that this initiative
swiftly is passing to allied armies.
| With Austrians definitely on the de-
fensive it may be said the victory will
| have been won, for with undermined
morale it is hardly likely that future
Austrian offensives will be effective
from any standpoint.

The People and Taxation.

1t IS announced that internal reVe-
nue. collections for the fiscal year which
ended Sunday totaled $3,672, ,000, 900
compared with $sO0,OOOO0O the year be-
fore and with $3,40O, 100000 which it
was estimated the war revenue meas
ures passed by Congress last fall would
yield"
In commenting on these figures Com
missioner Roper says:
National patriotism and solidarity
engendered by the war has contributed
largely to our success. The way in
which taxpayers have generally assist
cd and co-operated has been a con-
slant source of inspiration. I believe
the majority of honest taxpayers in
this country now understand and ap-
preciats more than ever before the
methods and objectives of the inter
nal revenue bureau, and will be most
effective in assisting us in our cam
paign for delinquent taxpayers as well
rs those who have fled defective re-
turns"
At this time the publication of these
figures and this comment on them
should have an excellent effect. The
ways and means committee, on the eve
Of preparing a new war revenue meas
ure, is advised that the country is re-
spending to the money exactions of the
war in the proper spirit. The assur-
ance comes from an official thoroughly
informed as to the matter. He tes-
titles to the assistance and co-opera-
tion of taxpayers in the execution of
the law.
1t is to be remembered that the law
has not been easy of Interpretation.
Its difficulties were confessed prompt
ly after its passage, and experts called
in to assist in solving them. Many, we
may believe, have been we'll solved.
Others can be corrected in the new law
coming.
There are delinquents, of course.
Assessments are large, and those as
sessed very numerous. Some are
dodgers outright. Others, through ig-
norance or otherwise, may have made
defective returns" But the authori-
ties will employ every means to reach
them, and collect what is due to the
government.
With this responsive spirit showing
among the people, the legislators, in
providing for the governments new
needs, should act with care, and with
the strictest regard for all the equities.
A class law, or a sectional law, would
be great mistake. All the people, of
all classes and all sections, are in
volved; and all stand to lose by dis
aster, or profit by success.
Other assessments may follow the
assessments now required. The war
grows in magnitude and spreads in
area. It's length is at present indie
terminable. But the people have come
to realization Of the case, and are
disposed to see it through. The coun-
try, in the main, is prosperous. Ample
revenue for war purposes is within
reach. Congress can fill the purse, but
should fill it so Is to help and not
hinder the everyday activities of those
who must pay the bills.
