Clean the Streets!

Extraordinary effort should be exert
ed by the Commissioners to clean and
keep clean the streets of Washington
as measure of prevention of infren:
"a spread. At present the streets are
in a condition highly conducive to the
progress of the disease. There has
been no rain for several days, and the
cutters are choked with leaves and
trash. Mixed with these materials are
the elements of infection, the presence
of which in the streets, subject to dis
turbance and dispersion by every wheel
and foot and every gust of wind, is a
direct menace to public health.
If there are no adequate means of
ordinary street cleaning the pavements
and cutters should be flushed nightly
by the fire department. That depart
ment cannot do better work for the
protection of the public safety at this
critical time. It is not safe to wait
upon the elements. The streets must
be cleaned with the least possible de-
lay, and kept clean.

The Called Jade Winces.

Matthias Erzberger, German secre-
tary of state without portfolio, is
quoted in Hague dispatch as express
ing the deepest regret over the Lem
ster atrocity, which he says may cause
"a serious relapse" in the hopeful feel
ing in Germany regarding peace. He
heard of the fate Of the innocent
women and children "with deep sym
pathy" But he graphically adds:
"Here is the hand Of destiny, for which
we cannot be made responsible"
Why not responsible? Who is to be
blamed for the murder of the Leinster
survivors? Are the submarine COM
manders running amuck on the sease
Has German discipline collapsed along
with the west front lines? And why
such anguish of soul now over single
case of barbarity, merely the latest of
u long series of horrors9 Did Erzber-
ger wall over the drowning of the crew
of the Belgian Prince, lured to the
deck of the submarine and left to per-
ish when she was submerged?
Had the Leinster murder been COM
mitted at any other time than stimuli
taneously with the overtures for peace
there would have been no sign Of con-
triton. 1t is now regrettable because
of it's bad effect upon the peace pros
pect. Erzberger is no more soft-heart-
ed or considerate than other Germans.
He whines now because the Leinster
crime is an obstacle to the kind of
peace Germany hopes to obtain, peace
of negotiation leaving her whole and
armed for some other day of attack
and pillage and slaughter day that
will never come if the will Of the allies
can be enforced.

the call for subscriptions. Of the local
success of the loan there can now be
no doubt, but it will require the con-
tinued efforts Of all the people until
the last hour tomorrow night to reach
the goal that is now set, generous
oversubscription.
These last hours are to be regarded
as affording a final opportunity to do
that which should be considered as
every citizens duty. IF that oppor-
tunity is allowed to pass, if on Sunday
morning there is any person in this
District who does not wear button
of the fourth loan, there will be reason
for self-reproach
Secretary McAdoo says that the full
amount of this loan will be needed
even though peace should come imme-
diately, and that in any case, regard
less of Germany's present peace eff
forts, fifth and perhaps a sixth loan
will be necessary. So that the people
should not consider the question of
buying bonds with the slightest refer
enee to the progress Of the armies or
to the diplomatic and political maneu-
vers of the enemy. Every dollar of
the six billions required l.y the govern
ment must be raised IN any event.
Washington's hope of a 100000, 900
bond sale should be reslized.

bate. The minority is, allowed q chance
to state its case The final vote is
never called until the full case, pro
and con, has been stated.
It is clear, therefore, that three
weeks will be short time for dispos-
ing of a measure of such general and
profound concern.
But after the Senate has acted, the
conference between the two houses
must act. Time will be necessary there.
Indeed, it is predicted that the con-
ference will have an important say as
to the final terms Of the measure. As
the public appealed from the House
to the Senate, it may appeal from the
Senate to the conference. That has
often happened in matters other than
revenue matters, but eonspicuously so
in revenue matters. Some revenue
measures have received touches Of con-
siderable consequences in conference.
So we are by no means near the end
of this very large provision for war
purposes The public will have to ex-
ercise patience The finance commit
tees terms may not be the Senate
terms, nor the Senate's terms the terms
of the conference. He would be a bold
legislator who should undertake now
to forecast the terms Of the bill that
in the end will be laid before the Presi-
dent for his signature.
But there must be and will be a
bill. and the President will sign. This
is the only sure thing in the premises.

Allied Co-Operation.

Closer unity both of purpose and of
effort among the allies has resulted
from the failure of Germany to secure
an armistice and peace through nego-
tiation, or rather, to be closer to the
mark, from the collapse Of Germany's
latest effort to drive wedge into The
entente alliance by precipitating pos
/ sible discord over terms of peace For
such is believed to have been one of
the underlying motives of the Maxi
milan note.
; The undertaking failed, it's sinister
purpose being instantly discerned by
Washington, London and Paris. In
stead of accomplishing what they hoped
to achieve, the Germans brought about
precisely the opposite result. The fact
| was developed that there is no posi-
bility of difference ip the aims OF
the allies President Wilson made it
clear that he is not likely to forward to
the allies any proposition which might
be construed as containing elements
unacceptable to them or tending in any
way to separate the views held by the
United States and the European allies.
Note is taken of official announce
ment of closer working agreements be-
tween this country and its associates
in the practical details of waging war
against the common enemy. The air
craft industry is to be pooled, as to
the distribution of raw material neces-
sary in the manufacture of flying
fighting craft, in the making of the
machines and in their allotment to
service. The same principle is to ap-
ply in still greater degree as to mum
tons. Complete liaison is to be eff
fected in production and distribution
! on the basis Of the greatest efficiency.
Likewise as to food supplies. The
United States must for some time to
come bear the greater part of the bur-
den of feeding the world, the load in
creasing>as the released populations of
occupied territory come to draw upon
supplies from the mother nations. The
United States must continue to be the
greatest source of nourishment for the
stricken world

Because the sugar must be saved.

And yet he smiled and said: "Hooray!

He wears the clothes of yesteryear.
His motor car is off its gear.
