'The finance committee hopes" Let
us all hope. At the same time let US
all be prepared to accept whatever may
be in store.
The revenue bill has had an I'M
b usual experience SECRETARY McAdoo
desired and requested that the Senate
dispose Of the measure before the
opening Of the campaign for the fourth
liberty loan The Senate regarded the
request as impossible, and did not even
attempt to comply.
The 25th Of October vas named as
. the day when the finance committee
would probably report. That day
passed without report, and then a
day closely following election day was
suggested. That day passed without

No Immunity.

: Aftieae 6 Of the terms Of armistiee.
prohibiting the evacuation Of the in
habitants Of territories quilted by the
enemy, provides: mo person shall be
!, prosecuted for ofenses of participa-
ton in war measures prior to the sign
q. ing of the armistiee." The question
has been raised whether this does not
preclude punishments for those who
.have been guilty Of atrocities and bar
.Aarities during the war. ...
1t is hardly to be believed that this
Aas the intention of those who framed
sthe armistice terms. The provision
occurs in an article plainly aimed at
..<he prevention of acts of injury and
reprisal by the enemy during the
I process of evacuation. It was clearly
. protective clause for the benefit Of
the civilians in the allied lands oc-
: ;cupied during the war by the enemy.
In any case, if it should apply to the
I. enemy it must be interpreted as pro-
! viding against prosecution only "for
{ ofenses of participation in war meas
'ures" in accordance with the reeog-
: nized rules of warfare.
= Germany's crimes committed in
AFrance and Belgium and elsewhere
since the beginning Of this war have
/ been fragrant violations of the rules Of
war as laid down and subscribed to by
! Germany in The Hague conventions.
The expatriation Of civilians, the STAY
ling of non-combatant people, the en-
sIavement Of women, the butchery Of
: children, mutations, distinctions not
incidental to the prosecution Of the
/ war, the poisoning of wells, the wan
! ton destruction of trees, all these are
specifications in the Indictment that
is soon to be drawn against the Ger
man military power, for which it is
believed, expected and hoped individ-
uals directly responsible will be
brought to trial and properly pun
ished.
These were not Gwar measures in
the sense in which the phrase is used
in the armistice terms. They were
measures Of terrorism and hatred, un-
necessary for tho prosecution Of the
war, extensively or defensively. And
the very fact that in the terms Of
q armistice specific prohibition is cx-
pressed against further actions Of this
character indicates that those who
framed the conditions had no inten-
ton by any form of phraseology to
promise immunity to the perpetrators
of these vile deeds.

Over the Top Again.

Washington did not fail. Once again
it 'went over the top" with its sub
scription to war fund and today
maintains tho record it has made ever
since this country went into the con-
fict. Its subscription to the united
war fund, to maintain the seven organ
izations which are helping the soldiers
and sailors of the United States at the
front and in the camps, tagging during
the ten days of the campaign, was put
across the quota line in the last hours
by the announcement of large contri-
buttons made by members Of the de-
partmental forces, and today the cap
ital stands with an unbroken record of
oversubscriptions to all the purposes
identified with the successful prosecu-
ton Of the war.
There were disbursements Incl
dental to this campaign. It began on
the very day that Germany signed tbs
armistice terms and so put an end to
hostilities. Immediately there began
moves for the rehabilitation Of the
Army at home and the thought spread
that these seven organizations would be
no longer required, quite mistaken
idea, inasmuch as there will be even
greater need in the months to come for
hard work by them to keep the soldiers
and sailors of this country eomforted
and hea1tened during the dreary period
Of waiting for the final declaration of
peace.
The total of the national fund is not
yet known, but that it will be close
to, if not over, the full quota Of $780,
100000 is not to be doubted. The
country has been brought to realiza-
ton of the vital need of maintaining
the fullest efficiency Of the organiza-
tions that have done so much to keep
our Army and Navy fit and clean and
happy.

The November Verdict.

When the short session Of Congress
begins, there will be moro or less dis
cussiop of the meaning Of the recent
election result. Tho topic will be pat
enough, and many members will han
die it.
In some quarters there is opinion
that had the President not made his
"break" in appealing as partisan for
support the democracy would have won.
Until then, the campaign, to all ap-
pearances, had been languid. But the
appeal operated as shock as we'll as a
surprise, and the voters went to the
polls and rebuked it.
On tho other hand is opinion that,
had the President not made his appeal,
the republicans would have won; that,
while his appeal was resented as inn
proper and unjustifed, sentiment for
. change Of congressional control had
already been formed, and was waiting
calmly and without excitement to ex-
press itself with the ballot.
With this latter opinion goes the ex-
PLANTATION that the people were con-
WINGED that the war was rapidly ap-
proaehine the end, and that the new
Congress would have 70 do with ques-
tions Of reconstruction.
This is the basis Of the suggestion
that the democracy in the next few
months should concern itself princi-
pally with the closing odds and ends
of war work, and leave to the repub-
lieans, who have just BEEN Endorsed
by the people. the initial steps Of put
ting the country On q peace basis
