Know Not Where to Lay Their Heads.
Much has been written and said of
the congested conditions in war busy
Washington. Government officials
whose task it is to bring in war work
ers have been eager not to have the
reports of crowding drive away hun
dreds of folks badly needed. In fact,
they have made every effort through
organizations of aids to newcomers to
find homes for them. On the other
hand, real estate agents and others
besieged by waves Of homeless new
corners, actually have pleaded to have
the country informed that there is no
more room.
A city which, three years ago, was
estimated as having 5000 vacant
houses and 5000 vacant apartments,
now has not single vacant one. The
search for homes has extended to all
the suburbs, where cottages have
trebled in price. The crowded condi-
ton Of hotels and boarding houses,
every traveller knows for himself. One
of them has aptly remarked that on
coming to Washington on business one
has to engage a place in Baltimore or
Philadelphia to sleep.
Soldiers in uniform have been put
to making house to house canvass
asking the occupants to double up
as patriotic duty and take in war
worker. Absentee householders, hav-
ing large domains which they have
been accustomed to visit once year,
have in some cases feared that the
premises would be commando by
the government and hurriedly have
returned to keep their drawing rooms
from being converted into dormi-
tories.
One may well imagine that where
there is so much difficulty in housing
so many people, there is equal trouble
in feeding them. Cafes and cafeterias
have sprung up about the city like
mushrooms; it is no uncommon sight
to see war workers standing in line
outside a restaurant waiting for d
chance to spend money inside just

The Guarantees of Peace.

The president wants such settle
ment as will not contain within itself
the certainty of future wars. And he
purposes to provide against the pos
sibility Of such future wars by the
setting up Of league Of nations.
That such league is not impractical
BILE, if proper foundations are cleared
for it, seems to be the hope, if not
altogether the conviction, of the
craftsmanship of the entente powers.
But proper foundation will have
to be laid. Justice, so far as it can
be ascertained, will have to be realized
in concrete adjustments. And actu-
ally and potentially the power that
will not be satisfied with justice will
have to be deprived Of any force
Wherewth to venture dissent.
It is fiction which served well for
a time that the militarism Of Germany
resides in the house of Hohenzollern,
or more broadly in the Prussian junk
er caste, or more broadly still in the
Pan-German party. Militarism does
not merely master the German people,
it permeates their body and has be-
come their will. Militarism is ex-
4 pressed not only by the figure Of the
staggering crown prince, not only by
the army, officers and men, but by the
whole intellectual and articulate por-
ton of the people. The German pas
tors preach militarism from their pul-
pits, the German teachers teach mill
tarism in the schools, the German
professors expound it, the German
scientists serve it; the German schol.
ars invent dialects in it's favor. Edu.
cationally, spiritually and physically
the German people are committed to
militarism.
Defeat may disillusion them, as GER
tainly as it will prevent them ap.
plying their tyrannous system to the
world. But defeat may scotch the
evil without killing it. For militarism
is the tradition Of German life; it is
in the German blood and Of the Ger
man genius. Experience proves that

Americas Reply.

sThe president deems it his duty to
say to the Austro- Hungarian govern
ment that he cannot entertain the
present suggestions of that govern
ment because of certain events of ut
most Importance which, occurring
since the delivery of his address Of
the 9Th Of January last, have neces-
sarily altered the attitude and respon-
sibility of the government of the Unit
ed States.
among the IA terms of peace
which the president formulated at that
time occurred the following:
"'1O-The peoples Of Austria-Hun-
gary who's place among the nations
we wish to see safeguarded and as
sured should be accorded the freest
opportunity of autonomous develop
ment.'
"Since that sentence was written and
uttered to the congress of the United
States the government Of the United
States has recognized that state Of
belllgerency EXISTS between the
Czech-Slovaks and the German and
Hungarian empires and that
the Czech-Slovaks national council is
a de facto belligerent government
clothed with proper authority to direct
the military and political affairs Of
the Czech Slovaks.
1T also has recognized in the fullest
manner the justice of the nationalistie
aspirations of the Jugo-Slavs for
freedom.
"The president is therefore no longer
at liberty to accept mere autonomy
for these people as a basis of peace
but is obliged to insist that they and
not he shall be the judges of what ac-
ton on the part Of the Austro-Hun-
garian government will satisfy their
aspirations and their conception Of
their rights and destiny as members Of
the family Of nations"

London. A resume by Field Mar
shall Haig Of the operation Of the
American troops fighting on the
British front, given out Saturday,
says:
Gin the last three weeks the Twenty
seventh and Thirteenth divisions of
the Second American corps, operat-
ing with the Fourth British army,
have taken part with great gallantry
and success in three major offensive
operations, besides being engaged in
number Of lesser attacks. In the
course of this fighting they displayed
soldierly qualities Of high order and
have materially assisted in the success
of our attacks,
Having fought with the utmost
dash and bravery in the great attack
Of September 20, in which the Hinden-
burg line was broken, and having on
this occasion captured the villages Of
Belicourt and Naurey, with large

the troops Of the Second American
army corps again attacked in the
neighborhood Of Mont Brehain to ST..
Souplet, overcoming determined re-
sistance and capturing several strong
~ defended villages and woods.
Throughout the last three days the
two American divisions have. again
attacked daily, and, on each occasion
with complete success, though the
enemy's resistance was most obsti-
nate.
Fighting their way forward from
st. Souplet to the high ground west Of
the Sambre canal, they have broken
the enemy's resistance at all points,
beating off many counter attacks and
realizing an advance Of nearly five
miles, More than 5000 prisoners and
many guns have been taken by the
two American divisions in these sew
eral engagements.

Fortunately justice, bare justice
without any vindictiveness, applied to
Germany and Austria, will serve to
guarantee civilization against recur-
rences Of Teutonic madness. Restrict
Germany to strictly what is German,
ana remove the Hohenzol lern and
Hapsburg yokes from oppressed ma

unable to be anything else but quiet
and decent.
A reconstructed Poland in whole and
not in part will take from Germany
some strength, and will bar Germany
from Russia. "A Jugo- Slave state to-

serve as barrier to the southeast.
An. Alsace- Lorraine restored to France
will deprive Germany Of the iron ore
wherewith to wage war. "a free Boz
