WASHINCTON'S VOICE CALLS

NEW YEARS GREETINGS

As the year 1917 closes. I look back
with emotion to the months just
elapsed and to the successive phases
of the world struggle and in par
ticular to the entrance of the Unit.
ed States into the war. Champions
OF a common cause, the American
people and the French people, whom
a fraternity of arms has united in
the past, whom it is binding still
more closely to-day, contemplate with
unshakable firmness and with the
serene consciousness OF their duty.
the liberating task that they have
sworn to accomplish to the end. The
wear 1918 will see the continuation
OF the sublime effort of the free ma
tions. grouped for the defense Of
honor and of the pledged word, for
the safeguarding OF all netherlands.

of imperialism and autocracy. whose
avowed design it is to dispose OF

T'is the far-off voice OF Washing

old of the new year, as in the heroic

which are repeated throughout the
glorious American Union. France,

GENERAL CROz|ER
HELPED TO CLEAR
BAD GERMAN AGENT
HIS LETTER IN FEDERAL
COURT SERVED TO ASSIST
CAPTAIN TAUSCHER, WHO
HAD PLANNED TO BLOW
UP WELLAND CANAL

1t is understood in inside circles
in Washington that the solution of
the problem of General Crozier is TO
be reached by sending that officer
to France. II there is any truth
in this suggestion it may be we'll
to point out to Secretary Baker and
his confidential" associates who are
helping him 10 operate the War De
partmcnt that the problem OF the
Chief of Ordnance cannot be solved
by an evasion of that character.
Neither is it possible for the War
Department to smother the facts
about General Crozier's connection
with Captain Tauschcr with the
brief statement that when he wrote
his letter attempting to swing the
judicial action of New York court
in favor of Tauscher he was doing
very innocent thing because we
were not at that time at war with
Germany"
Dangerous, Either Way
When General Crozier wrote his
letter ne either knew or did not
know that Tauscher was a dangerous
propagandist who was making war
on the United States, and that he
would let neither murder nor des-
truction Of property stand in the
way of his plans. If he knew, no
further comment is necessary. II he
did not know, then he is utterly un-
fitted to remain in Government SER
vice or his superiors. who did know.
and failed to tell him. should tender
their designations to the President.
At the time this letter was writ
ten the War Department and the
Department of Justice knew posi-
lively that Tauscher was guilty of
planning the attempt to blow up the
Welland Canal. They knew OF the
close social intimacy between Taus-
cher and General Crozicr 1t seems
inconceivable that they permitted
the Chief of the Bureau of Ordnance
to remain in ignorance OF the facts
Situation Is Grave
That is the situation. The Senate
committee now investigating the ord
nance question cannot shut its eyes
to the gravity of these circumstances,
which must be probed to the bottom
without further delay.
And, while the committee is about
it, why should not General Crozier
be compelled to state exactly what
his business connections with
Tauscher were, up to what period
before Tauscher's arrest they were
carried on, whether he had ever been
notified of the facts in possession
of other departments of the Govern
ment and who it was that finally
decided to allow Tauscher to leave
this country with Ambassador Bern
storff when the Department of JUS
tice had evidence enough against him
to send him to Jail for the balance
of his life1

CORPORATION COMMITS.
SION DUTIES WILL BE
SAME UNDER u. S. CONTROL

For the present, at least, the au-
thority possessed by the state cor
poration commission in relation to
transportation lines will not be in
any way curtailed by the taking over
of the management of the railways
by the government. The state conf
missions will continue to make re-
quests and recommendations of the
lines in cases where they see neces-
sty, and in the event they are ignor-
ed, report will be made to the special
committee named at the railroad con-
ference at Dallas for the purpose of
complying with federal rules and re-
gulations.
