A Peace Jubilee Later.

Decision to- abandon the plans for
the victory parade in this city next
week does not signify that the people
of Washington are to be deprived of
IN opportunity to celebrate the sur
render Of the enemy appropriately at
the right time. It was Influenced by
the feeling, officially expressed, that
such . celebration, partaking neces-
sariH Of tho nature Of peace jubila-
tan, was premature, in view Of the
fact that the peace treaty has not yet
bean signed and that much work re-
mains to be done in Europe.
Washington can organize its own
peace and victory jubilation quickly

local and necessarily spontaneous

antly enough, Is he . democrat, or a
republican, BE has always been so
busy in the line Of his profession he
has had no time for politics.
When America entered the war. gcs-
sip suggested that maybe the Navy
this time would furnish q presidential
candidate. No sailor has ever filed the
Office Of President. But the work of
the Navy, very important and iuely
executed, did net afford opportunity
for any picturesque personal perform
anee. The Navy, though in splendid
hands and always busy, had to be kept
out Of the picture, and SO has con-
tributed no name to the list Of presi-
dental availables.

of industry.

Germany and the Allies.

Advice is given the German minis
ter Of foreign affairs by Secretary
Lansing that further official commu-
nications from Berlin should be ad-
dressed to all the allies and not spe-
cifcaHy and exclusively to the United
States. This is an essential precau-
tion against misunderstanding and in
eidentally against delay. The United
States is not conducting the peace
negotiations and is not at present the
sole medium of communication. Dur
ing the pre-armistice exchanges Ger
many addressed messages to the Presi-
dent Of the United States and through
him reached the point Of armistice.
But the final arrangements for cessa-
tion Of hostilities were made by an
allied council at Versailles and the
armistice terms were delivered to the
German delegates by the generalissime
Of the allied forces, Marshal Foch.
Peace moves and pleas for remis-
sion Of armistice terms and appeals
for material aid should all be ad-
dressed to all the nations comprising
the alliance which fought Germany to
the point Of surrender. Without
question the peace conference will be
hastened as far as conditions permit to
insure the earliest possible determine
ton to avoid anarchy. A delay would
obviously be dangerous, with condi-
tions in a state of fux in Germany
and with other countries affected by
social unrest.
Proposals for the feeding of the
German people pending the restora-
ton of order in that country, how
ever distastefu1 to Americans, must be
considered in the light Of the urgent
necessity to stabilize affairs east Of
the Rhine as quickly as possible. No
matter how bitter the resentments felt
against the people of Germany for
their own sins or those of their for
mer rulers, the allies cannot permit
anarchy to develop among them. The
example of Russia is a sufficient warn
ing to justify even the most unwel-
come concessions to the enemy people.

The Republicans and Unity.

The Republicans and Unity.
A caucus, or conference, Of repubi-
can senators is suggested for next week.
If one is held, discussion will concern
itself with legislation at the short ses-
sion, and the course to be pursued re-
specting committee assignments under
republican control after March 4.
Both subjects are interesting and i'm
portant.
With regard to the first, it Is ad-
visable to note that, with the signing
Of the srmistice, reconstruction is in
tho air. Everybody is talking it
Plans covering this feature or that are
appearing as promptly as the crosus in
spring. Measures covering this plan, OF
that may be introduced at the short
session, and the minority senator's
should be ready for them.
As for the new committees, the SUBJ
ject may seem premature. But it is
not. It has already been introduced; ;

Washington's Opportunity.

Large individual subscriptions have
brought the Districts quota of the
war-work fund up to its present total
ef not quite four hundred thou
eand dollars. To reach the full
amount assigned as the Districts share
of the national fund of $170, 600 900,
which is $500, 900, it is necessary for
those who can give smaller sums to
contribute generally. There are ap-
proximately 100000 people in Wash
ington, perhaps few thousand less.
IF each of these people would give Or
be represented by a two-dollar gift
Washington's quota would be over
subscribed But there are many who
cannot give as much as that, So for
each member of the family. For these
the larger amounts already given will
stand as proxies The others must
make up the total.
The men for whom these funds are
to be expended have gone forth to
fight and if necessary to die for the
people who have remained at home.
Their work is not finished. It viii not
be finished until after peace has been
finally arranged and they can be
transported home. Until the last man
has left the shores of France, indeed
until the last man has been dis
charged from the rehabilitation
camps in this country, it viii be neces-
aRry to maintain the agencies repre-
sented by the seven organizations now
grouped in the appeal to the Ameri-
esn people.
No matter whether your own soldier
q sailor is mustered out, or is about
10 be returned to civil lfe, there will
for months be others, who are as much
Gyour men" as though they went out
from your homes to the camps or to
the ships. They have fought for you
and have been ready to fight for you.
Their comfort and happiness are now
your charge. You cannot go to them
yourself, but the seven organizations
are going for you, and your dollars
are needed to support their work,
which has been q material factor for
victory.
Do not let Washington's subscrip-
ton fall short of the quota assigned.
That quota has been proportioned to
the population. That means that
every person who is now living here
is charged with the responsibility to
give, to the credit of this city and no
other. If Washington does not meet
It's quota it will stand ashamed before
the men in uniform who have sus-
tanned the American standard and
beaten the enemy in the field.
Until Monday night there will be
opportunity to give. And every
Washingtonian should look upon it as
an opportunity, and not as a plea.

Why was begun fort"
Moreover, injury inflicted in that
way now would be felt by the party
in 1920. The country has sailed the
republicans to power in Congress. and
expects them to give q good aeeeunt
of themselves. Il for any reason they
fail, their appeal two years heaee may
fall On deaf ears And that appeal
will be for not enly congressional but
presidential eentrol.
Il will be amazing il It shall appear
that the republicans have learned moth
ing from their experience With fac
tionism gathered in the past eight
years. First, they lost control Of the
House; and in due time the Senate
and the presidency followed. They
have now been out Of power for six
yeaTs-the longest period in nearly
sixty years. II they want the time pro-
traeted, they ,haye but to reopen the
old quarrels, or ipaugurate new. The
people at the polls will do the rest.
Evidently the party leaders see all
this. and want to reach an under
standing in time for the first formal
public show Of hands. It is an appn-
cation Of the principle Of prepared
ness. In peace or war, it is best to be
prepared.
