Grating from the government in time OF
peace is despicable offense; when It is done
in time of war it should be classed as treason
and punished accordingly. 1t is unfortunate

mentary secretary for the admiralty in

chips sunk was steadily decreasing, while
the number of submarines destroyed
was increasing. Intensive and unre-
strieted submarine warfare has now been
IN progress over fifteen months and it
has not brought England to her knees,
nor has it prevented the dispatch Of a

Army to France. 1t is simply one of

Simple Graduating Dresses.

Simplicity of dress at graduating ex-
ercises is urged by the board of cduca-
ton upon all local high school students
who are soon to take their certificates
at public exercises. The resolution
adopted by the board is in the form of
a recommendation that one simple and
inexpensive dress be made to serve for
both graduation and class day exer-
cises, and the suggestion is offered to
parents that they stimulate their daugh-
ters to this practical patriotism by in
vestirg the amount saved by this econ
omy in liberty bonds or war savings
stamps.
Elaborate costumes at public school
graduation exercises are distinctly in
appropriate at this time Of national
crisis. Probably it needs but this ad-
monition by the board Of education to
cause it to be appreciated that ostenta-
ton on such an occasion is ill-timed and
undesirable, that plainness Of dress is
creditable to the pupil and to the par
emit. The suggestion that the money
saved by means of simplified dressing
at this time be put into some form Of
federal security as contribution to the
war strength of the government should
be universally followed.

made. and assessments are now due, but
some uncertainty remains and some iti.
cation may follow.
Additional revenue demanded-in
amount large or small-must be found
in the same quarters searched last year.
Incomes and war profits will have to
bear the greater part Of the burden.
But new assessments on those lines can
not be levied with ease. Details must be
worked out with greater care than was
taken last year, because, as has since
been demonstrated, those sources Of sup
ply, simple as they appear, are full OF
complications. And Congress, through
haste, should not send another puzzle
to the Treasury Department.
As The Star has several times sug-
gcsted, nothing should induce Congress
at this day to hurry with its business.
Its business is very important. The
times are exceedingly troubled. War
developments in Europe are momentous.
They are constantly increasing, and
changing the character of, American OBJ
legations. The responsibility of Con-
gress for the American part IN the hos
tilities is great and grave; and 1t should
not be shirked or delegated. In fact,
it cannot be delegated. There are things
which Congress alone can do, and hence
which it should be reauy to do when
ever an emergency arises.

The Legislative Bill Deadlock.

A deadlock between the House and
Senate conferees on the provisions af-
4seting the personnel of the government
departments in the legislative appro-
p1iation bill causes delay in the pas
sage Of that measure. The House repre-
ssntatives insist upon limit of $4,000
upon the horizontal salary increases and
upon the so-called Borland eight hour
amendment. The Senate representa-
lives Insist upon the extension of the
salary raise limit to $500 and the elimi-
nstton Of the eight-hour provision.
Insistence upon its position in respect
b both of these items is hoped for on
the part Of the Senate. The salary-in-
crease provision is by no means as lib
s1al as the conditions warrant. The
amount granted is too small for the
lower grade employees, whose expenses
have advanced greatly during the past
two or three years. The men of the
middle grades are subject to heavier
expenses along with the others. The
increase proposed is to them smaller
rate Of relief than to their smaller
salaried associates of the service Yet
they need it greatly in this time of
stress
Objection to adding to the working
day Of the clerks, without extra COM
pensal;on, is based upon the principle
that the government should not adopt
the plan of e1acting additional work
from already hard worked employees.
The tasks laid upon the departmental
force are difficult and responsible. 1t

ment.
Insistence by the Senate upon these
two items Is desirable for the good Of
