thirty-odd days for the work. And
while the governments work waits, the
great majority of senators and repre-
sentatives arc at home hustling for re-

When Congress reassembles there
will be another "drive" dictated by pri-

be planned. Hurry will be the watch
word. Adjournment in early October
will be urged on all inclined to listen.
One proposition is that the House
debate and pass the new reven"e meas.

until after tho elections. Then if the

not. The governments needs are we'll

Ignorance and Bootlegging.

A convicted bootiegger has been
given minimum sentence Of two
months imprisonment on the ground
that he was ignorant Of the law. Just
how it is possible that any one could
be ignorant of the law prohibiting the
sale of liquor in this District passes
understanding. The matter has been
conspicuously brought to the attention
of the public for months. The bar
rooms have been closed. Ordinary
places Of dispensing liquor have been
transformed into soft drinks establish
ments and lunchrooms. A heavy traf.
fic in intoxicants has been developed
by illicit means. The situation has
become notorious. For weeks past the
news of prosecutions for this contra
band trade has been printed in The
Star. 1t is impossible, in truth, that
the fact should not be known through.

Of the law is not regarded in court as
valid. 1t cannot safely be accepted. It is

An excellent reason. As q matter Of

German Press Qstriches.

Better teamwork between the Aus
trian and German press in comment
ing on the size and importance of
American participation in the war was
to have been expected. But there is a
marked difference between the two
points Of view. For example, the Ar
better Zeitung says there is no further
doubt that there are 100000 Ameri-
cans in France, that the genius of
American organization has attained
stupefying results, and that the Ameri-
cans have changed the situation not
only in the political, but in the mill
tary phases of the conflict. This, from
what we know Of the matter, is fairly
accurate view Of the situation. But
the German press is not yet able to
grasp or possibly permitted to tell the
truth about the American participa-
ton. The Lokal Anzeiger of Berlin,
without touching on the size of our
Army, seeks consolation in the asser-
tion that it is evidently lacking in
the one essential-the will to fight 1t
says further that our forces will not
be numerous enough to play an i'm
portant part until 1920 "and then only
provided the transport difficulty is got
over and the munitions industry de-
veloped from its present nursery
STAGE Again, the Deutsche Tagezei-
tung says that our "hurried shipments
of unframed troops were only under
taken to placate the allies, who were
duplicating for help" 1t says further
that "the experiences gained hitherto
of the doings of the badly trained lit
tie American Army have been very far
from encouraging"
There is no occasion for American
concern over this matter of German
self-deception contrasted with Austrian
frankness of realization that the
American Army is a real factor in the
war. If it suits the German high com.
mapd to permit or require the press Of
that country to comfort itself in public
with statements about our military
force that it doubtless knows to be
wholly untrue that is its business and
not ours It is playing desperate
game. Some part Of the German pub.
lie is already aware Of the size and
value of the American Army. Even.
tually all will know, but of the great.
est importance to us is the fact that
we are not only in France 1000, ,00t
strong, comprising possibly some 7oo,'
900 OF 100000 combatants, of whom at
least hall are in the front line trench
es, but that our men have in the judg
nent OF the French, British and Ital
ian military experts qualified for duty
with remarkable speed and are today
equal to the best in the field.

POLITICS AT HOME
Uniting for the Future.

A dispatch from Syracuse, N. Y,
says:
9Col Roosevelt, it was learned to.
day. viii pay part Of the costs Of the
libel suit in which he defeated viii.
liam Barnes Of Albany here two years
ago. Permission was granted Barnes
to appeal the case, but he and Col.
Roosevelt had reached an agreement
to divide the costs upon the abandon
ment Of the proposed appeal, 1t was
declared"
This is q good time for politicians
to compose old faction and personal
differences, and we shall probably see
it improved on both sides Of the line.
Party spirit il rising; and that calls
for subsidence Of faction spirit. A
campaign for big stakes is now open
ing. A, campaign for bigger stakes is
scheduled for 1920. Men Of the same
party must get together, and stay to-
gether.
The Roosevelt Barnes row was all the
more bitter because of the fact that
the two men had peen warm personal
friends and intimately associated in
politics. They had admired each other
very much. Barnes had been q New
York lieutenant Of Roosevelt, and had
earned, and received, his leaders
praise.
When the break came it was all the
fiercer because o: the strong friend
ship that had existed. Tie measure of
the one expressed the measure of the
other. In denounclng Mr.. Barnes, Mr..
Roosevelt spoke in heat. In sueins
Mr.. Roosevelt, Mr.. Barnes acted in
anger. A mutual friend with oppor-
tunity could probably have settled the
dimculty to tho satisfaction Of both.
Had the case been reopened now OF
any time soon ON appeal, the principal
sufferer would hsve been the repub-
licsn party.
Politically, Mr.. Roosevelt and Mr.
Barnes are hand In hand again. Mr.
Barnes wanted Mr.. Roosevelt to run
for governor. Mr.. Roosevelt doubtless
appreciated Mr.. Barnes wishes. But
although Mr.. Roosevelt will not run
he and Mr.. Barnes will support the re-
publican nominee.
And they will support the republican
nominee for President two years hence
Mr.. Barnes hopes for the Roosevelt
leadership in that rice; and if his
hopes are realized he will probably
work the harder for the ticket be-
cause Of his renewed friendship with
the head of it.
Old things are passing away, AND
with them old enmities. II the new
things are to be tackled successfully
it must be by united efforts; and this
fact is as important for one party ..
for the other to learn and apply. W.
shall see both get busy on that line
and stay busy at least until Novem
Der, 1920.
