A question has been raised as to whether the Republicans will be able to organize the senate, and this soleiy on the supposltion that Senator La Toilette of Wisconsin might not act with the Republicans. If La Toilette refused to vote for the program Which the Republicans decide upon in the way of officers and committee assignments it would result in a tie vote, as the senate will be constituted after the fourth of March In that event the Democratic organization would con tinue indefinitely. While great many political writers have indulged in spec uIations as to what Senator La Toilette will do, no one seems to have taken the trouble to interview the Wisconsin senator on the subject. And as long as he does not speak he can remain the senatorial mystery.

In official circles, particularly in con- gress, there is quite strong feeling that 1t would have been much better for the allies if there had been no revolution in Ger many, or at least not such a revolution as to completely overturn the govern ment and place it in the hands of a crowd similar to that which has ere ated the terror in Russia, if that should result. There are a great many men in this country who would have liked to deal with the men in Germany who were responsible for the war, made them accept the severe terms of the armistice, and made them account to the German people for what they had done in the four years horrible war

The rapidity with which the war de partment is going about the work or demobilization indicates that there will be as speedy reduction of the army as necessity will allow. There Is every indication that many of the troops that have recently been brought into service by the draft will be re- leased and sent home. There is q great deal of doubt as to when the troops in Europe will be returned. It will take several months to determine just what Is necessary in the way of troops to assist the allies in restoring peace conditions in the war-torn countries.

One class of Washington rent profit eers will get jolt when the government reaches a stage where 1t can largely reduce the office forces. Congress will not order the many buildings which have been erected in public parks dismantled, but will re- tain them and have them occupied by government forces, and thus withdraw these forces from buildings which have been rented. In the war period everything that was vacant was taken by the government, and at this time scores of old junkpiles In the city of Washington are paying their owners large rental harvests. As soon as con gress can get to work actively on It's economy program, 1t is going to cut out this sort of profiteering.

Approved By Lane.
This report has received the hearty

ton to give It the widest possible pub
licity as the policy of the department
The action Of the War Department in
making provision for zoe. 900 or more

expense OF the Federal Government is
based on this policy. The call of the

hospitals for trained nurses to take

by the War Department for men.

The above news item indicates that
even the schools are going to feel the
effect OF the conservation laws.
Washington will not suffer in this re-
spect as much Is many other cities. due
to the fact that there is located in this
city one OF the largest book stores In
the country making speciality Of han
ding slightly used school and text
books; as well as an extensive line Of
new ones. Pearlmans Book Shop, at
s31 G street northwest, always has a
complete stock of educational books and
undoubtedly will have as large a stock
of new and unused ones as the circum-
stances permit The careful buyer will
have rare chance to select from the
enormous stock many OF the books he
requires at a greatly reduced price. be-
cause they have been slightly used. For
many years this well-known store has
been the recognized headquarters for
the annual purchasing Of the needed
books in school work. whether It be the
ordinary standards or text books, or
best authorities on technical, mechani-
cal, and special vocational training
Courteous and intelligent clerks add
to the stores popularity.

DR.. CLAYTON ISSUES
APPEAL TO PREPARE
CONTINUED from Page III

States should recognize that the
maintenance OF the war strength
OF the nation in its full power de-
mands the utmost efforts of all
existing well-organized and ade-
Quately equipped colleges, univer-
stiles, and technical schools. This
means ever-increasing and more
devoted bodies OF students as well
as faculties.
Young people having the req
uisite qualifications should heed
this urgent call OF their country
and apply themselves diligently,
enthusiastically, and in increasing
numbers to the task OF preparing
for the highest service OF which
they are capable. Wherever prac-
ticable, young men should at the
same time join the students en-
listed reserve and prepare for
military service, in order to be
ready for that call also when IL
comes.
institutions OF higher educa-
ton should adjust their courses,
so far as possible. to immediate
war needs and to the demands
which must inevitably come with
the establishment of peace, and
should develop especially those
scientific and practical branches
OF study which are essential to
the winning OF the war, to the
development OF our Industries and
commerce, and to the accomplish
ment OF the tasks OF the civic and
political life OF the nation.
Educational Institutions should
use every effort to make the op-
portunities and privileges of
training for public service access
ible to all suitably prepared men
and women of college age. In the
cases OF many worthy young men
andwomen this will require some
provision for assistance in meet
ing payments for tuition and lab
oratory fees and other NECESSARY
expenses Of higher technical
training"

ST. Adams SCHOOL
FINELY SITUATED

The founding OF st. Adams, the
National Cathedral School for Boys,
long the fervent desire of the Bishop
OF Washington, was made possible by
the generous gift of Mrs. Harriet
Lane Johnston, a niece of President
Buchanan, and mistress of the White
House during his Administration.
The legacy was placed in the hands
of the Cathedral Chapter upon the
death of Mrs. Harriet Lane Johnston,
in 1904, and in execution OF her ex-
press wish, the first Bishop of Wash
ington, the Rt. Rev. Henry Yates
Satterlee, d. D., LII D., at once ap-
pointed a committee to visit the more
important schools for boys, both in
this country and in England, for the
purpose OF studying their construc-
tion and administration. These in
vestIgations completed, the commit
tee made it's report, and specifca-
tions for the building OF the new
school were drawn up.
The home building of st. Adams,
known as the Lane-Johnston building
in grateful memory OF the founder,
is the result. Its cornerstone was laid
by the Rt Rev. William Paret, D. D.,
IL D., on Assertion Day. 1905. The
work was rushed forward eagerly,
and the building was dedicated by
Bishop Satterlee on Ascension Day,
1907, Ascension Day OF that year fall
ing, by a beautiful coincidence, upon
May o, the anniversary OF Mrs. Har-
riet Lane Johnston's birth. The
school was formally opened by the
Ri. Rev. Alfred Harding, D. D. LIZ D.,
Bishop Of Washington, upon October
!, 1909.
The Cathedral Close Is situated at
the junction of Massachusetts, and
avenues, four miles north
west of the Capitol 1t contains about
forty-fve acres of rolling woodland
and open fields. The Lane-Johnston
occupies the southwestern
corner of the Close with an entrance

CAN SUPPLY CITY
WITH SCHOOL BOOKS

Bright new school books, the
pride OF the girl pupils hearts,
will be no more until after the
war. The pulp and paper section
OF the War Industries Board yes
terday recommended that the pro-
duction OF school books be cut
down so per cent and that there
be no changes in texts unless alb
solutely necessary.
Pupils will be encouraged to
use secondhand texts, when they
buy their own books, and the
school boards that furnish texts
will be urged to repair the old
books and make them do as long
as possible. 1t will be a blow to
school book companies, who have
for years Influenced school boards
to change texts unnecessarily so
that they might get the sale Of
the additional books.

Must Rebuild worIa.

When the war is over the world
will have to be rebuilt, and It should
be rebuilt on q basis OF knowledge
and understanding. No other war has
ever wrought such destruction as
this, and none has ever made pos
sible such extensive and comprehen-
sive reconstruction. For this rebuild
ing the schools and colleges of the
United States must supply a large
proportion OF the leaders. No other
war has ever been so costly. Our
country will be burdened with debt
beyond anything we had ever dream
ed. The boys and girls now in our
schools must pay the interest and
principal of this debt. They will
need scientific knowledge and techni-
cal skill to enable them to do this
and at the same time produce the
wealth necessary to assure for all the
people food, clothing, good homes,
