WAR LOCKS THE LIPS"

Was is upon us. Whether or not that war should have been prevented, does not now enter into the case. AS our sreateet living American states- man recently said:
 "A nation which declares war and goes on discussing whether we ought to have declared war or not is im- potent, paralized, inlbecile, and earns the contempt of mankind and the cer- tainty of humlliating defeat and sub- jection to foreign control A demo- cracy which cannot accept it's own de- cisions, made In accordance with It's own laws, but must keep on endiessly discussing the questions already de- cided, has failed in the fundamenta. Te- quirements of self government; and, fl the decision Is to make war. the fall ure 10 exhibit capacity for self-gov- ,tnment by action, will inevitably re- suit in ,le loss of the rlght of self. government.
 War is here. And war means Sac- rifice--- sacrifice of the thlnss :h' men and women hold most deli. l: we are t. ace our country. with .ta sacred in stitutions, preserved inviolate, VIC must make sacrifices cheerfully and with out complaint. This editorial explains why some of the rights Americans most cherish must be among the offer ings daily laid upon the alter of our country.

BUREAUS URGING
WORKERS TOSTAY

A feeling of uncertainty as to what
disposition will be made Of them if
Germany should sign the allies ar
mistice terms, is apparent among en-
ployes and officials of many govern
ment bureaus which sprung ups in
Washington when war was declared.
There are signs that some depart
ment heads are fearful that they will
lose employees prematurely as result
of the growing sense that the end OF
the war is near.
This was evidenced in the housing
bureau of the Department of Labor,
v'-nre Otto M. Eidlitz. the chief, has
posted an open letter to his en-
p.oses, reminding them that, al
though the news from the front is
most encouraging, they should not let
up in their energy or spirit OF stick
to-itiveness'' until the bureau is ex-
cused from it's duty of building ac-
commodations for workers in Wash
ington and at war factories through
out the country.
The housing bureau is not alone in
its feeling of doubt over what part,
if any, it will play in the period of
reconstruction.
The housing bureau has under con-
projects for Washington-one for en-
ployes of the washington Steel and
Ordnance Company and the other for
employees of the bureau OF standards.
There is a possibility that the sign
ing of armistice terms now would
make it unnecessary to carry out
these DEVELOPMENTS.

Who Controls Germany?
Will Terms Be Ruled on
:, in Berlin or in Field? ?

Will the German emissaries seeking
armistice terms be empowered to ac-
cept or reject them on the field, or re-
quired to submit them to Berlin for
consideration? And, If thus submit
ted, which element in Germany will
have the say, the Prussian militarists
or the newly set-up "democratized'
faction?
These questions furnished topics of
discussion and speculation in diplo-
matte and military circles today. No
authoritative answer was forthcom-
ing, officials processing lack Of spe-
cific information. In fact, the lid is
down tight on all phases of the armis-
tice and tnquirers are met with point
blank declination to furnish replies to
questions.
Meanwhile. as a possible sidelight,
illumining the situation within Ger
