boldness Of operation susgests that
they have places Of shelter. During
the early days Of summarizing in Brit
ish waters the Germans, it is known,
had secret bases there, and large
part Of their success was due to the
ease with which they could hide be-
tween attacks on shipping.
Some time ago q search was made OF
the Atlantic coast line for such bases,
with NO results that were reported. It
is possible, Of course, that the govern
ment did find signs Of submarine "hid-
ing holes" on our shores, without an
nouncing the fact. The successful
work at Virginia Beach is q reassur-
ance Of vigilance that if maintained,
as it undoubtedly will be, will prob
ably lead to the thwarting Of the
enemy's plans.

Stop the Farce!

If order is to be maintained at La
fayette Square the law should be en-
forced as thoroughly in the case Of the
militant women who persist in speak
ing without permits as in the case of
any other offenders. On several occa-
sions these persistent agitators have
gene ahead with their meetings in de-
fancc Of the regulations, and on being
srrested have been released on their
own recognizances to appear in court
if they wish to do so. Some Of them
have not gone to court, and the group
arrested yesterday declared that they
did not intend to present themselves
for trial. This is closely bordering on
farce and the sooner the usual rules Of
police procedure are applied the bet
ter. Every one arrested for disorder
should be held in custody for trial un-
less bail is given. There should be no
playing Of favorites. No considera-
ton Of the hot weather should prevent
the holding of these willful lawbreak-
ers in police stations overnight if they
refuse to give bail. Every one Of
these women who refuses to appear in
court should be hailed there. Tho
cases themselves should be hurried to
trial and not allowed to drag along
indefinitely. Either enforce the law
and apply the penalties or drop the
matter and let the lawbreaking go on
as a public nuisance that must be tol-
Grated.

his fAvorite topics have to do with

A Limit on Revenue Debate.

An important announcement made
yesterday was that Secretary McAdoo
had told the ways and means commit
tee at was imperative that the revenue
bill be enacted by Congress before the
opening of the campaign for the
fourth liberty loan September 49,"
In substance, this is cloture. A time
hmit--about q months set. The
House and the Senate are left. free to
divide the time between them, but the
work Of both must be completed by
the day mentioned.
If Congress accepts this proposition
it will have to hustle. The allowance
is very short, when the measure is con-
sidered. Last year the Senate con-
sumed five months reshaping the reve-
nue. measure the House had sent over;
and that measure was simple as COM
pared with the one now in hand.
Much depends on the character of
the bill the ways and means commit
tee reports. If it is open to few OBJ
Jections, only q few will be offered in
the open House; and If the Houses
action satisfies the country, the Senate
probably will promptly aequiesce.
On the other hand, as is plain, If the
committees work is challenged in the
House, debate viii be drawn out; al
if there Is warm contention in the
House, like performance will be
staged in the Senate.
The committees work is as yet ten
tative. Many feelers have been put
ont. Light has been sought in many
quarters, and much light obtained.
But, within few days of final action.
the committee is still undecided about
important items, and upon the decisions
depend some large questions Of taxa
lion.
Chairman Kitchin and Secretary Nc
Adoo are optimistic. Both predict
solution of all difficulties. They have
differed widely. But they have freely
and frankly exchanged views, and, az
they believe, with good results.
Two things are incontestable: ~ A
revenue measure must be passed,
and ~ the fourth liberty loan foated.
The date for passing the measure is
only suggested by the Secretary Of the
Treasury. Congress may accept or re-
iect it. The date for opening the
liberty loan campaign is within the
province of the Secretary, and he has
exercised his right.
Evening star., 1918-08-15
Power and Confidence Waning.

,. Gen. Ludendorff's order recently
found on a German prisoner fully con-
firms the belief that the Teutonic
man power is cbbing rapidly. Despite
Andre Cheradame's theoretical figures
of possible mobilization, Germany is
coming tc the end of her resources.
Her losses since the beginning of the
March offensive have been enormous
and nave not Leen offset by allied
losses. In the last two operations, in
the Marine salient and in Picardy, the
German losses in prisoners alone have
exceeded the allied casualties. 1t is
"a mathematical. certainty that every
,month now adds TO the weight of man
spower against Germany, as American
Teinforcements go overseas.
A Geneva paper states, on the basis
of information received from German
sources, that during the retreat from
the Marne Gen. Ludendorff demanded
,twenty divisions of Germany's allies.
:!Austria refused to send any aid, but,
ST is declared, after Ludendorf had
made threats Vienna sent two divisions
to the western front. If this is true,
ST Ludendorff was in such straits as to
need twenty divisions. Germany's posi-
ton regarding man power must be
indeed serious.
Still Baron Won der Osten, military
critic of an Essen newspaper, declares
that the offensives of Foch and Haig
on the Somme will be no more than
Pyrfhic victories, (which will assist in
The attrition of their own forces"
This. in view of the enormous haul Of
prisoners in Picardy and the relatively
Emah losses of the allies, is obviously
a consolation to German readers. It
bs significant that other newspapers do
not take the same view One of the
Cologne journals admits that Ger
many is following the terrible struggle
in France with bated breath and
that the people are viewing the fight
there as German defeat.
It is significant that this Cologne
paper inveighs against defeatism,
which is rearing its head in Cologne,
Dusseldorf and elsewhere, even in
Essen, where the people may be heard
grumbling. Another defeat for us; we
snail lose the war; we have nothing to
eat, no clothes, no shoes; we shall
| starve and be utterly ruined" If the
German people are actually talking
! that way Germany is going to lose
steadily from now on, not only man
| power in the fight, but the confidence
and support of the people at home,
/ without whom the war cannot be
prosecuted

never absent from . committee meet
ing il the subject is Of importance to
his constituents.
1t is to the credit Of Alabama that
she rewards her public servants &C.
..ording to their demonstrated deserts.
Che kept Senator Morgan in commits
siop many years; and he died in
harness. Senator Pugh likewise served
many years continuously. Gen. Joe
Wheeler, as a member Of the House,
enjoyed favor for q long time. Mr..
Underwood as representative became
a veteran, and was then advanced to
the Senate, where he is likely to re-
main.
But Alabama is not the only south
crn state pursuing this very intelligent
policy. Long service has marked the
careers Of number of southern men
who since the civil war have partic1-
pated in politics on the national stage.
In both House and Senate they have
had opportunity not only to distin-
guish themselves, but to reap the re-
wards of their distinction. Their ex-
pcriencc has counted heavily in their
favor in the organizations Of Congress
and in the influence which attaches to
high committee assignments They
and their section have profted from
their seniority.
This Heads 20 the charge occasionally
that "the south is in the saddle" in
Congress. If she is it is because she
knows how to ride.

Keep the Food Stores Clean!

Cleanliness in the places where food
is handled for sale is an essential
requisite to the public health A cor
respondent, whose letter is printed in
The Star today, suggests that every
purchaser Of food should notice the
conditions in the grocery stores and if
they are unclean should report to the
health officer. If the public would in
sist upon a high standard Of santa
tion and neatness in the food stores,
refusing to buy in places that are not
kept clean, there would undoubtedly
be less illness. It is as easy to keep
. grocery store clean as dwelling
house. And every store should be
kept As clean in all respects.

Berlin's Denial Confirms Sub Losses.

Proof Of the accuracy Of Premier
Lloyd Georges statement recently that
the allies have sunk $50 German sub
marines since the war started comes
in the form of a German denial. Moth
ing is moro convincing of accuracy
than denial Of this character. When
the Dusseldorf Nachrichten's Berlin
correspondent says, 1--WE are able to
state definitely that the enemy's anti
U-boat war cannot show any such
success" there is excellent reason to
believe that the British premiers fig
ures are correct. As long o. the Ger
man government through any agency
fails to disclose the number Of U-boats
that have been sunk Lloyd Georges
statement, tho first to announce the
result Of anti i-U-boat warfare, viii

Signaling the Enemy.


It is reported that men were AZ
rested last night, near Virginia Beach,
below Norfolk, for sending fashEsht
signals b sea. Such signals could only
have been for the purpose Of sending
information to German submarines Of
shore. Careful search Of tho sand
dunes have been maintained for sew
eral nights, with the result finally Of
the capture Of those engaged in the
signaling work.
It Is not known now, and perhaps
will not be known for long time,
whether the men caught in this work
Of giving information to the enemy
were Americans. It is quite possible
that they were. Traitors can always
be found by . national foe, and it is
well known that there ara per-
sons in this country who sympathize
with Germany and seek to aid her.
Before we entered the war Germany
had . large force Of agents in this
country, many Of whom were q Amer
lean birth. Il Is altogether to be ex-
pectsd that there will be-. numerous
instances during The war Of setive
treachery. - go =

ginia Beach strengthens the bSlief that
