Belgian Song On German.

Chicago, Sept. 2S,-The Belgian
national air, "Brabanconne," is to be
pasted in 100000 song books used in
the Chicago public schools to hide
from view the German national air.
The latter song appears in the books
only because they are ten years
old, and has not been sung for more
than four years. according to the
supervisor of music in the public
schools.

ON FIRST DAY
OF new YEAR
Quiet AT Homes" Are Fea-
tme Of Celebration
in Capital,

No finer tribute could be paid the at
titude and spirit of washingtonians
toward the war than in their mode Of
celebrating the birth of the new year
yesterday. The simplicity which
marked this occasion proved con-
clusfvely that residents OF the Ma
tionaI Capital cannot even momentar-
lily be shunted from their chosen busi-
ness, winning the war.
The New Year just passed was in
no sense a holiday. 1t was more an
added Sunday in the week. Hardly at
all was there distinguishable any
tendency toward revelry.
SPainfulIy Respectable
While the various New Year activi-
ties were exceedingly small. as COM
pared with former years, this deficit
was offset by the magnanimous spirit
which prevailed over them
Painfully respectable seemed to
be the general verdict of all the lead
ing hotels in connection with the OBJ
servance of New Year. There was
nothing like the. old-time hilarity,
WhCLC SON ANASACN SARASAAC oAAN
the departing old year drifted out
amid joyous scenes.
Manager Owen. of the Powhatan
Hotel. ascribed the seriousness of war
conditions to the lack of Thirth and
gafety that generally accompanied the
ushering in of a New Year.
According to Mr.. Owen. Washing
tonians were not disturbed to the
slightest extent by reason of the alb
sence of liquor from the menu. and
he seemed to think everybody en-
joyed themselves about as well as
in foTmr years.
Dancing was INDUCED in at the
ballroom of the Powhatan. and the
rear lobby of the establishment was
also cleared to create room for the
thrOngs.
Everything very quiet" was the
report that came from the New Will
lard. and this sentiment found an
echo in the Raleigh. Shoreham, Ho-
tel Lafayette. and other hostelries.
The New Ebbitt management con-
fessed that II was moderately quiet"
On the whole the managements of
the various hotels did not appear to
regret the absence of New Year
hilarity Of the old type, but seemed
to think the changed conditions much
more preferable.
New Year Services.
New Year Day services were held
at practically all of the churches of
the city and at the quarters of the
q various charitable organizations and
missions New Year dinners were
served at the Gospel Mission, the
Central Union Mission. the Salvation
Army, the Volunteers of America and
other similar organizations

Sly Shots at the Solons.
BY THE OBSERVER,

If T. r. will take the advice of his
friends-and we have often wondered
IL he took advice from any source
he will pursue a rather reserved
course with regard to criticism of
the general principles of the Wilson
var administration. His strong point
is talking. Congressional leaders ad-
nit, but this happens to be a time
for RIGHT talking.
Vice President Marshall and Speaker
Clark were not present at the dedi-
cation of Billy Sundays gospeI
barn" as William Upshaw calls it,
= but they have promised to be there
during the meetings. Maybe their
names will be on the trail list; who
knows?
The rumor persists in Nebraska
that William Jennings Bryan will
run for the Senatorial nomination
there. Nebraskans. however, are
wondering if the former Secretary
can qualify as resident. He has Il
winter home at Miami. Fla, and a
summer home at AshevilIe. n. C.,
so they speculate as to what season
of the year he can distribute to
Nebraska.
Let the right kind of peace over
ture come along and this country will
lend aid to its acceptance. But the
o1er must be right in more ways
than one. and none of the offers YET
presented conforms to the American
idea, so Congress emphasizes II
Willy will put this down in his note
book the end of 1918 may be more
suspicious for his well being than the
end of 1917.
The Pershing order on beer and
light wines will turn out all right and
Congressional interference with the
generals management of affairs in
France may not be urged. so some
of the optimists said on New Years
Day.
As a result of naturalization of
the railroads some Republican poll
ticians are saying to their Demo-
cratic opponents, "a step which we
urged. in a measure, last year in thu;
campaign. but which you sarcasticaIly
referred to as an attempt to do away
with the powers OF the people" And
the Democrats are saying ''Pshaw.
you never proposed this step. 1t was
different plan you had. OF course,
II you'd suggested this we'd have been
with you" The argument could be
prolonged indefinitely. but here you
have the pith of it. gentle reader.
Several philosophers among the
members of Congress yesterday point
ed out that the greatest year of this
country is the year in which we can
be of the greatest service to the cause
of democracy-and that year lies
ahead of US, for the years events
VIII have a potent effect on affairs
for centuries to come.
