The Big Respons billy
of tie Republican Majority
lFrom the New York SUM.

The heart warming news from the
western front and the amazing outburst
Of long pent emotions produced by a
! premature report or the signing sOf an
armistice have for the moment eclipsed
in the public mind the significance of
that which happened here at home
last Tuesday. While the American peO-
pie have been hailing peace with a Joy
near to frenzy-and hailing peace not
as pacifists in the current meaning of
the term but as a nation determined to
have nothing short Of a peace Of COM
plete military victOry--the belated re-
turns from the Congress districts and
the Senatorial vote have been swelling
the dimensions Of the victory won at
the polls under the superb leadership
of Will II. Hays OF Indiana. His pollti-
cal perceptions no more went awry
during the campaign than did his en-
ergy slacken or his courage fail.
Not only Is the absolute control Of
both Senate and House in the Sixty
sixth Congress now assured to the Re
publican party; that control will be
exercised by majOritles in each house
far beyond the most optimistic hopes
Of a week ago. The sun is sure that
the greatness OF the occasion and the
universal sense among the elected Re-
publicans Of the new responsibility be-
fore them would have been sufficient TO
secure unanimity Of policy and action
even II the margin had been slender.
II Is comfortable, however. to know
that the Senate is safe beyond accident,
and that the House Of Representatives
will be organized by a majority Of at
least forty and possibly Of nifty; a num-
erlcal superiority greater by far than
the Democrats have possessed since
the SiXty-third Congress. When Presi-
dent Wilson entered the White House,
the Democratic majority in the House
was forty-nine.-
II will be apparent, or should be ap-
parent, to every Republican with the
prospect Of a seat in either house of
the next Congress that the complex
ion OF the succeeding Congress, to be
chosen two years hence, and likewise
the Presidential election Of 1920, will
be determined by the manner in which
the party meets the responsibilities and
uses the power TO which IL has been
fortunately restored by the votes OF
the people TO whom President Wilson
addressed his appeal for continued |
mastery. This is a commonplace, but
like many commonplaces it is conspicu- |
ously true.
Unanimty, manifested in the com |
plete submergence of factional differ |
ences and personal ambitions, is Of /
course, the first thing indicated, in or [

An example of this efficiency was in

Its recent parade LIN New York city.
Fifty minutes before the men left the
armory the Red Cross received word
that they needed a canteen service be-
fore starting the parade. The Red
Cross responded Immediately. In less
than an hour from the time theiy re-
ceived the request they had served
1850 men with sandwiches, sweet buns
and coffee.

was from the colonel of the Three

cluded his letter of thanks with II have

ing: "To say they were appreciated is
only half expressing the feelings of The
men, who spent the rest of the day

lief in military circles here that the

cradle force.
a Attack by French Also.
Confirmation Of the report that the
French began another big attack in
Belgium is supplied in a Reuter- des-
patch from the front, which states
that French troops began another
major offensive against the Germans
yesterday. No particulars were given.
After the Germans in Belgium had
been driven back of the line roughly
from the Dutch border to just west of
Client, and from there to Audenarde,
Journal and Valenciennes there was
let up in the fighting on that part Of
the front, due partly to the fact that
the retreating Germans had sought
refuge behind rivers and canals and
flooded a wide area after their retire
ment, and to the long continued wet
weather which retarded the Allies in
getting up their supplies and artillery.
Airplane Activity Resumed.
The great aerial activity of wednes-
day, in which more airplanes were
shot down than in any other single day
Of the war, lends color to the uncon%
frmed reports of last night, that a
further big attack has been launched
in Belgium.
By some it had been thought that
Marshal Foch had concentrated his
military effort, for the present, in
Italy. In other quarters it was never
regarded as likely that the Allied
leader would permit the Germans to
dig in for the winter on the present
line in Belgium. A new Allied attack
there would, it is thought, be in con-
formity with the MarshaPs plan to
give the enemy no rest, policy he has
followed relentlessly since the open
ing of the great Allied offensive il
July.

KENSINGTON, MD. RED
CROSS PASSES QUOTA
Active Chapter of Potomac Division
Hopes to Oversubscribe 300%o.

1t became known last night that
the Kensington. Md. branch of the
Montgomery county chapter of the
Red Cross. Potomac Division, has
greatly oversubscribed its quota of
$500 allotted 1t for the Red Cross.
In fact. it has exceeded this quota
at the rate of 2S9 per cent already.
N.157.90 having been subscribed to
date, with prospects for additional
subscriptions running it over the
top to the tune of 300 per cent.
When KensinGton's quota was
first announced at $500 committees
were appointed to cover the terri
tory by a house to house canvass,
and these committees got busy right
away. Activities were begun with
a splendid rally addressed by SOL
diers and others, and resulted in
$500 being received from that
source alone. Since then the work
has gone ahead with vigor until
the total has reached the figure
named. nearly all of which was
cash.
Through some misunderstanding
the results from North Chevy
Chase were not credited to the
kensington branch. Had such been
the case the subscriptions would
have exceeded the quota by more
than 800 per cent.
Considering that most OF those in
this branch were involved also in
the contributions made through the
government offices in the District,
the showing made is a fine indi-
cation OF the patriotic spirit per-
vading the Kensington community.
