have introduced new features into the

"A Good Socialist"

Victor Berger of Milwaukee, who was
recently elected to Congress as So
cialist, was introduced to meeting in
Chicago yesterday as "a good socialist,
because he can show his indictments"
If that is the test of "a good socialist"
what is the status Of those other radi-
Gals who have escaped Indictment? So
cialism has not heretofore been based
upon the principle of lawbreaking. If
that is now to be the test of the party s
followers, the courts will be kept bus
lily occupied. 1t logically follows that
If an indicted person is "a good so
cialist" one who has been convicted
must be the best sort. It would be
truly accommodating if the courts were
to expedite their processes and hasten
to trial all who have been accused of
violation Of the acts passed for the
protection of the nation during the war
crisis. Meanwhile the position Of Mr..
Berger as a prospective member of the
House Of Representatives becomes de-
cidedly interesting.

Two DAYS More,

Two more days are granted for the
raising of the united war fund Of
$170, 100000 in the country at large, of
which the District of Columbia is to
supply 100000. This extension of
time should assure the result of full
subscription.
Under the terms of the armistice the
American forces in France will move
eastward to occupy the areas evacuat-
ed by the Germans. They are al
ready under way toward the Rhine. As
they go farther away from home they
will need more than ever the comforts
provided by the seven agencies for
which funds are now asked.
1t has been the desire of every
American soldier to get to Berlin.
Possibly this may come about, but
only in the event of the resumption of
hostilities. If the armistice terms are
fully complied with by the enemy the
occupation of German territory will 60
only as far as the limits set by Mar
shall Foch, the western banks of the
Rhine and thirty kilometers beyond at
three "bridgehead' points. Then will
follow dreary waiting for the franz
ing and execution of the terms of
peace. That will be harder than the
days of warfare. Then will come the
test of the soldiers spirit, and in
maintaining that all the seven agencies
will perform a most valuable duty.
We who have remained at home have
stood stanchly behind the men in the
ranks throughout the nineteen months
of actual American participation in
hostilities. Now we must stand behind
them in the most difficult days Of all,
when they are pining for home, their
great task accomplished; when they are
worrying about their future and won
dering if they have been forgotten.
The money asked now is needed, to
the last penny, to maintain this work.
During the next two days it should
all be forthcoming, even if sacrifices
are necessary to insure the full SUBJ
seription. .......

Thanksgiving and Victory.

Not for many years has there been
SO much reason for the American peo-
pie to give thanks on a designated day
for the blessings of Providence as at
present, and tho Presidents proclama
ton for the assemblage Of the people
on the 2sth of this month for that
purpose, issued in accordance with the
established custom, takes on a new
and particularly impressive signifi-
canoe. On that day every person in
this country beyond the age of in
fancy should give voice to the spirit of
gratitude for the benefits of guiding
spirit, bringing peace with victory.
This occasion is the moro memorable
because of the fact that the victory
has been achieved sooner than was cx-
pccted- A month ago it was not be-
lieved possible that the enemy could
be reduced to the point Of surrender
before the new year. Sudden collapse,
however, occurred, and thus Thankssiv.

Back to Germany?

William Hohenzollern, it is stated III
"a Berlin dispatch, intends to return
to Germany on account Of the disturb
ances in Holland, and it is indicated
that he will be allowed to return. This
is decidedly an interesting develop
ment and may lead to even more in
teresting happenings. William Hohen-
zoHern abdicated under pressure, "for
tho good of Germany" He is at this
moment rather unpopular there. His
flight into Holland was obviously a
Safety frst' movement. If he re-
turns to Germany because Holland is
disturbed he will have to face a pub
lie that has been quite busy ever since
he quilted German soil denouncing
him as the author of the Indebtedness
of his former subjects. If his abdica-
ton is genuine and the revolution is
also Of the real sort, he may find Ger
many even more disturbed than Hol-
land. If the whole business is a
acamoufage" the allied forces now ad-
vancing into German territory behind
the Withdrawing Teuton armies will
have further work to do. William has
perhaps an overoptimistic disposition.
He can never again rule over Germany,
or even over Prussia.

The Short Session.

Two weeks from today the second
regular session Of the Si1ty-ffth Con-
gross begins. Its life is limited to
three months. Ordinarily, the time
would be largely devoted to the supply
bills. Always important. such meas
urcs invite scrutiny and provoke de-
bate.
The present situation is far out Of
the ordinary. In the first place, the
supply bills win carry unusually large
sums Tor IN unusual number Of pur-
poses. Unusual scrutiny and unusual
length of debate, therefore, will inhere
IN them. If the whole session could
BE given to them, the time would not
be too much
But that cannot be. The supply bills
must share the time with other bills.
For one thing in particular, they must
share it with the new revenue meas
ure, upon which the Senate has yet to
pass.
That measure has been delayed, for
one reason or another. It should have
been disposed of long ago. It reached
the Senate some time ago, but in a
shape 30 unsatisfactory both to the
Senate and TO the country that the Sen
ate finance committee felt justified in
granting hearings On the objections Of

appreciation Of the responsibilities
that have been entailed in the victory.
This Thanksgiving day should be re-
garded as day Of dedication to the
great task that hes before the victofs
in the war. To the problems Of war
have succeeded the problems Of peace,
no less perple1ing and difficult Of So
luton. At homo and abroad there are
adjustments to be made, requiring the
wisest craftsmanship and the most un-
selfish recognition of the rights of all
classes and races and groups of peo-
pie. The true measure of the victory
just scored is to be determined in the
months to come.
