THE WORK OF CONGRESS.

No one will be found today who will contend very seriously that the war is rot oyer Certainly the fighting has been stopped. the terms of the armis- tice are being fulfilled. and it is per fcctly evident that the conditions are such that there is no chance of the central powers resuming the war. They are in no position to even if there was the disposition.
 Such being the case it cannot fail to be appreciated that the action taken by the republican senator's in their caucus at Washington when they rsssed resolutions to the effect that congress shall assert and exercise it's normal and constitutional function, in- cluding legislation necessary for re- construction" was justified and that they decided upon a course which the situation calls for.
 Congress has it's duties and 1t is ex pected 10 discharge them. It is cx- pected to meet it's full responsibilities At the outbreak of the war congress yielded patriotically to the idea oi placing greater power in the hands oi the executive. This was done to fa- cilitate the movement of the big wal machine but now that the war is ovei it is but proper that that policy shoulf he laid aside and that congress should resume it's normal function as the resolution calls for. That certainly is only proper and should be recos. n!zed as such by all members of con sress regardless of party. What WI. done for the purpose of aiding thC war work should of necessity go Nltl the ending of the war. It is time t, return to the right order of things that congress may do what is expect cd Of it in aiding in the vast amoun os reconstruction which must talk place.

 It is estimated that we have now about 5000 German guns. nearly 1900 of them in Paris. The Russians lost 5000 during their 1915 retreat. The Italians had to sacrifice a great part of their artillery at Caporetto; we had to follow suit between March and May this year

THE OVERTHROW IN UKRAINE.

What looks like unexpected help from within is that which has been received by the allies through the -bolshevik forces in taking con- trol of Ukrainia. The Ukraine has had a stormy time since it drew away from Russia and set up republic about a year ago. The governments which have been established there have had the assistance of German and Austrian troops in their efforts to survive and preserve order but the success of the troops headed by Gem eral Denikine now means a serious blor to the bolsheviki.
 It has been realized by the allies since as we'll as before the signing of the armistiee that affairs could not be strengthened out in Russia and that country allowed to get back onto it's feet as long as the bolsheviki retain ed control. The efforts which have been made to strike at it through Si- heria and Archangel while meeting with some success have not succeeded in accomplishing the desired results. but

IS IT GOVERNMENT OWNERSHIP

Net a little surprise has been caused by the recent order of the president that the ocean cable lines be taken over by the government, not solely because the proclamation was cev- cred up for matter of two weeks un- til it could be published in the Off, cial Bulletin, but because the action was delayed until this time. It was con- sdered well enough to leave the lines in the hands of the private owners up practically until the time the fight ing stopped. but now that tho war is over 1t is claimed that it is abso- lutely necessary to bring them under Inc direction of the government.
 Not only this but the action of Post master General Burleson, who is placed in control of the telephone and telegraph lines, including the cables, in ordering the lines operated as if owned by one concern is extremely difficult to understand, and particu- l&rly so inasmuch as he has not been able to reach an agreement with one of the companies concerning just com- pensation.
 0uCH steps lahen al LnIS tune. WneIl the war is over points very strongly 10 the fact that the postmaster gen. eral is paving the way for the gov ernment ownership Of these public utilities, and if further substantiatior ef this is needed it would seem to be furnished by the resolution introduced in the senate by Senator Lewis of Il. linois. proposing that the senate go or record as fayoring the government ownership of railroads. telegraph ant telephone lines, coal and oil producing agencies and other utilities. Thii gives pretty good backing to the es sumption of President Mackay of tn, Postal lines that the action of tn, postmaster general is aimed at gov ernment ownership.

President OF Trustees OF Anne Arun-
del Academy Makes Statement.

To the Editor of the Evening Capital:
Concerning the plan embodied in Mr..
Melvin's bill there is, in some quar-
tiers, an evident misunderstanding. In
the first place there is no proposition
to bond the county TO purchase the
Anne Arundel Academy" The bill re-
auires the trustees of the Academy to
donate an ample piece of ground to
the Board of School Commissioners
enough for a building and agricul-
tural experimentation. Moreover, the
trustees of the Academy must provide
81, SOC. 90, one-half of $15, 900 the pro-
posed cost of the building, while the
country will provide the other half
only.
Another very important feature OF
the bill is this: When it is passed by
the legislature and signed by the Gov
ernor, nothing whatever can be done
until both the Board of School Com
missioners and the Board of County
Commissioners ratify and approve the
provisions of the bill and until the
Trustees of Anne Arundel Academy
give the School Board a satisfactory
guarantee for their $7.50000. So that
under the bill either the School Board
or the County Commissioners could
stop any proceedings.
Last year $4,000 were spent on the
addition to the Brooklyn School and
about $4,000 on a new school near
Linthicum Heights. Also a large sum
on the new Glen Burnie School was
spent by the county, and now $4,000
of the county's money will be used to
put up a much needed High School in
the Southern part of the county. To
none of these do l make the slightest
objection. They are all required for
the education of the county's children.
They are all supported by the tax
payers of the county" as they should
be, except that every High School has
special grant from the State. But
call attention to this fact that in each
of the cases named above the county
had to buy the site and build the

Says He Is As Familiar With The Fact

As He Was Aware That Barry, The
Father of the American Navy Was
A Catholic.
To the Editor of The Evening Capital:
Those who read the article that APP
peared over my name in recent is
sue of your paper and who also read
the communication that appeared i'll
Saturdays issue of the Capital over
the name, Elihu S. Riley, must be as
much puzzled as is the writer as to
why that gentleman's friends should
construe anything my article contain
ed into meaning that Mr.. Riley in his
writings, was authority for my
claim(?) that Washington was Cath
Ollie From no sentence that my arti-
Gle contaiend can such meaning be de-
duced Since his school days the writ
or has been as familiar with the fact
that Washington was a Protestant as
he was aware af the fact that Barry,
the father of the American Navy was
a Catholic. But Mr.. Riley is authority
for the assertion made in my verse
that read: But for his valOr in battle
and what he endured, as at Valley
Forge, You'd be but subjects of Eng
lands King George. For somewhere
in his writings think in his work
entitled THE Debt That Protestants
Owe To Their Roman Catholic Breth-
ern," he asserts that but for the as
ciStauca nf Catholic soldiers tho causa
for which the revolutionary soldiers
fought would have been lost. AS this
