bean no garbage collection for many

Collect the Refuse!

IF some remedy is not quickly ap-
piled Washington's situation regarding
the disposal Of all kinds Of refuse will
become very grave. Garbage, ashes
and trash are accumulating at the
houses Of the people owing to the fail
ure Of the collection service. Com
plants filed at the District building
elicit the reply that the collection
services are crippled by lack Of men.
This shortage Of men may be duo part
" to the prevalence Of tho influenza
and partly to tho higher wages that
can be earned in other employment.
Whatever the cause, the conditions
now prevailing are intolerahle. In
some sections Of the eity there has

Of military service for themselves.
Several left Congress for the Army.
The opportunity appealed to patriotic
pride and to the spirit Of adventure.
As promptly, however, came exiti-
cism Of that course. It was clear to
outside observers that the business Of
Congress had now become more press
ing and important than ever, and that
trained men who had demonstrated fit
ness for it and were in commission to
perform it should do their duty to the
country where they then were.
That argument may be advanced with
even greater force today. Congress is
dealing with war questions in their
most complicated phases; and peace
questions seem to be looming. The
utmost importance attaches to legis-
lation. Those who shape it should
know their business. As the trained
man is necessary in the mine, the fac
tory, the agricultural field and in other
employments for keeping the country
war-ft, the trained man is just as nee
essary in the halls of legislation. If
he departs from there he loses his chief
usefulness. He leaves a trade which
he has mastered for one he must learn.
There is more excitement in camp,
on the march and in battle than in the
committee rooms OF the open chambers
of Congress, and it makes strong
appeal at a time like the present to
men of ardent natures. There may be
a personal sacrifice in humdrum serv-
ice behind the firing lines; but per-
sonal wishes and feelings are, or should
be, subordinate to public needs and
duties when so much depends on the
sorting of men for the great variety
of work made imperative by the vari-
GUS demands Of war.

A Miracle Worked
With a Pot Of Beans

You wouldn't think you could do
much with a pot of beans, would
you? Well, the other night l gave
Jim a dish which is now on our reg
ular menu. 1t was beans with toma-
to sauce, to be sure, but with that I
mixed bananas baked slowly in
maple syrup until they were soft,
and then l Just gave It z dash of
Al Sauce. Boston wouldn't have
recognized those beans. Jim says he
will recognize them If he meets them
again, and he hopes it will be often.
Al Sauce is not a Worcestershire,
you know, it is just a miracle.
working flavor that transforms left
overs and turns beans into bliss.

The Presidents Appeal.

The Presidents partisan appeal to
the country is interpreted by his po-
itical opponents as CD Confessing to
the desperate closeness of the congress
sional campaigns, and (2) as opening
the third term campaign.
The President is easily his party's
strongest asset. This has been demon
strated time and again. No demo-
cratic leadership since that of Jackson
has been SO absolute. Mr.. Wilson is
consulted about everything, and de.
cides the great majority of disputes
that arise in democratic circles. His
advice is asked, and he never fails to
respond.
This has given him prestige extend
ing beyond his party. Hence the con-
clusion that his party must need him
sofely, or it would not have asked at
his hands 50 unusual a performance.
And he has timed the performance so
as to get out Of it all that may be in
it. How much, or how little, that is,
election day alone can determine.
A third-term movement is alleged {;
and comment is that it could not exist
without the Presidents knowledge.
The next Congress will sit and act on
the eve of the next presidential cam
paign. Its record will enter into that
campaign. If the body is democratic,
the record, in all of its important fea-
lures, will bear the Presidents i'm
press. It is assumed that his influence
IN such circumstances will be as great
on Capitol Hill then as it now is.
Hence the argument, that another
democratic Congress, for which the
President is appealing, will make a
record under his direction designed to
insure the success Of the party in the
presidential contest, and that the Presi-
dent as the author of it will want to
enjoy its usufruet.
The Presidents deliverance will give
to the closing week Of the campaign
an interest and excitement far out of
the ordinary. All languor will disap-
pear now. Both sides will bestir them
selves. the one to support an appeal
% direct, and the other to oppose what
it win freely condemn a. unfair and
improper.
There should be, and let US hope will
b, a full vote polled. Men and women
entitled to suffrage can find no excuse
for indifference this year. There is
everything to call them out-issues in
plenty, and more promised. And they
should come out, in such numbers as
will give to the work of the next Con-
g1ess the value Of representing SUBJ
stantial public opinion.

Austria's Desperate Plight.

A Bern dispatch states that an offer
of peace amounting virtually to sur
render has been handed by the Turkish
representative at the Swiss capital to
the British and French ministers. An
other dispatch states that two repre-
sentatives of the anti-German elements
of Austria have left Vienna for
Switzerland. That Austria as well as
Turkey is seeking peace is not to be
doubted. Conditions in the former
dual monarchy are desperately bad.
Hungary is not only out Of the empire,
but virtually out Of the war. It is
stated that a practical agreement has
been effected between the Hungarian
people and the Hungarian army to cease
fighting November l, no matter what
the outcome of the present peace efforts
of the central powers. Bohemia is in re-
volt. Croatian troops have rebelled and
taken Fiume, while Slavic regiments
have mutinied and seized Karlovicz.
French troops have crossed the Danube
into Rumania and are establishing a
station from which to flank the Aus
TRAN position in northern Serbia. Ser
bian forces have made further ad-
vances toward Belgrade and now hold
fully half Of their country, with the
Teutonic troops in full retreat. With
Slavic detection on the Austrian from
tier the total failure Of the southern
defensive campaign is imminent.
Meanwhile the Italian and British
forces have resumed the offensive on
the Brenta front, aiming at the Tren-
tino. Material progress in that direc-
ton, with the Alpine winter at hand,
would place the forces Of the central
powers in fatal predicament, their
communications choked with mountain
SHOWS.
Taken altogether, Austria's situation
is worse than was that Of Bulgaria
when that power decided to quit the
war on any terms it could obtain. No
help can be expected from Germany,
which now needs every man for the
holding of the western lines. Turkey
may surrender any day and open the
way to an stack through the Darda-
nelles and the Black sea. Hunzarys
