The Ship Program.

Charles NJ Schwab's appointment as
director general of the Emergency Fleet
Corporation marks the latest reorgani-
ration of the maritime construction work
of the government. 1t is to be vel
comed. Mr.. schwab's achievements in
the industrial world have been such as
to warrant the belief that he will ac-
eomplish results. He is a master or
eanizer and has handled immense un-
dertakings successfully. He knows the
steel business from top to bottom.
Our shipping program is now making
headway. From Seattle comes the re-
port that . steel ship is being launched
there every eight days. Other yards are
beginning to produce in quantity. Con-
crete construction has been undertaken,
and there is every reason to believe that
our rate Of construction will in a few
weeks more than equal the total Of Ger
man submarine sinkings.
It was reported the other day that
there is no shortage Of labor at the
shipyards. One Of the heaviest handi-
caps, however, at this time. is the lack
Of housing for the workers. Congress
is,about to pass bill authorizing con-
structions or acquisitions for that pur-
pose, and If the appropriations are made
promptly as plans are drawn this lack
should be speedily supplied.

The People and the Loan.

Every day brings assurance that the
third liberty loan will be a great sue
cess, not only in the matter of the total
Of subscriptions, but in the wide range
of the individual buyers. The people
of this country have settled down to an
understanding that as long as we are
at war we must pay the shot. The Ger
man offensive, with its grave perils to
the allied cause. is stimulating the
American public to a realization that
this is the supreme test Of citizenship.
There is a noteworthy degree of spon-
taneous bond buying, not under persua-
sion or through the influence of oratory,
but in consequence of conviction that
possesses the heart of every patriotic
citizen that this is his chance to do some
thing toward victory. With our men in
the fight, daily beating off German at
tacks, and standing ready for partieipa-
tion in the big battle upon which Ger
many has pitched her chances of ulti-
mate triumph, the war has come square
ly home to the people. The casualties
have become real, direct evidences that
this is now our war. The honor flags
that the cities are winning daily have a
meaning that would have been impos-
sible last autumn when the second loan
was so splendidly foated. This third
loan will be smashing answer to Ger

Bolo Pasha Executed.

A brief announcement comes from
Paris to the effect that Bolo Pasha has
been executed at Vincennes as a traitor
to France. Bolo's recent reprieve led to
the expectation that he would give in
formation to the government of value in
the prosecution of others who have been
accused of treason. Whether he did so
is, of course, unknown. Whatever dis
closures he made, however, did not cause,
the government to show lenieney. 1t
would have been dangerous to commute
Bolo's sentence. Public feeling in
France would have been outraged by
any manifestation of mercy to one whose
supreme offense against the state had
been so clearly proved.
France has been strengthened by the
Bolo affair. The disclosure of a peace
plot involving Frenchmen of high de-
gree caused the people to realize the
danger in which they had been placed
by German intrigue. There is probably
q peace party in France today, an hon.
est one. But the pacifists have by the
Bolo case been silenced. For pacifism
and German intrigue are now linked in
the French mind as synonymous.
In the same way in this country peace
advocacy is attended with peril. That
German intrigue is at work here is not
questioned. The execution Of Bolo
Pasha should be reckoned as an exam
pie set by France to be followed by the
United States in any case of proved dis
loyalty.

satisfied with Mr.. Grayf No member Of
their party could pledge himself more

Gray is as sound on that matter as
representative could we'll be.
! But, as is observable, he does not abb
jure his repubhcanism- He is, Of course,
seeking reelection as republican, and
| if reelected will vote with his party on
party questions when they are pre-

Such questions are certain to be pre-

March 4, 1921 Even if the war should
continue until, or past. that time, other
than war business will demand attention
at the hands of the national legislators,
and cause the usual divisions on party
lines
1t is this fact which, despite the patri-
otic character of Mr.. Gray's announce
ment, may influence the democrats of
the district to make nomination. They
will want man of their own in Office
at party times for party purposes, and
they will try to elect one. Their pros
poets, however, will not be bright, be-
cause the district is normally repub-
liean.
The Jersey Blue democracy has not
been i'll lighting form for several years.
It is how out Of power as the result of
divisions Unless it can reunite, it will
remain out of power. Reunion is sought,
and the President is aiding and abetting
the effort. A recent letter of his to his
party friends at home urged reunion,
and resumption of old-time party ac-
tivity.
1t is most unlikely, therefore. that in
any portion of the state party interests
will be neglected this year. The re-
publicans will strive to retain the ad
vantage they have, while the democrats,
assured of the Presidents sympathy and
assistance, will exert themselves to re-
gain what they once had.
AS for the war, in Jersey Blue as else
where, both parties are supporting that,
and, in Congress and out, both are rem
dering ungrudging help in the prosecu-
ton of hostiities.

Make the Streets Safe!

Street accidents are so numerous late
II that Washington is in danger of top
ping the country's record of casualties.
People are being struck by motor cars
and street ears in shocking number.
There is gross carelessness. Pedestrians
cross the streets at wrong places, heed
less of traffic. and motorists speed
through the streets with little regard for
the safety of persons on foot or for
other vehicles. Crossing signals are not
always observed strictly, and those who
depend upon them for guidance are not
secure in their navigation of the pave.
II pedestrians have any rights beyond
ne curbs at all, it is at Intersections,
and at such places under present con-
ditions they simply take their chances.
The matter works out to the point that
save at crossings where signalmen are
stationed there is no such thing as the
right of the man afoot. If he tries to
shp through the traffi" he risks life and
limb. If he can get across, well and
good. If not, an ambulance is called.
That heedlessness causes many of the
casualties cannot be gainsaid. Pedes-
trians run appalling risks in going into
the streets without looking to see if
motors or street cars are approaching.
They step off eurbs in mid block and
start diagonally over the pave, often
looking away from the oneoming traffic.
They pass around behind street cars
without assuring themselves of the state
of the other track. They disregard the
possibilities of the corners for surprises,
IN the sudden turning of motors and
even of street cars.
Traffic rules must be enforced, with
higher penalties for violations, imprison-
ment if fines will not yield results
Pedestrians must be continually warned
to beware of the periis of the streets
and instructed in their duties. Cross
ings must be made safe for the people
sfoot, even if traffic is delayed. Wash
ington must not win the distinction of
being the most dangerous city in the
country.

Frost Budding Boloism.

Attorney General Gregory, in a let
ter to a member of the House, published
in the Congressional Record, says that
under the most conservative estimates
there are in this country today more
than 10000 German, 100000 Austrian
and 400. 200 Hungarian enemy aliens
that is, unnaturaliZed males upward of
fourteen years of age-estimating three
to a family there would be within the
United States about 100000 persons
who are either male enemy aliens or
members of their families"
Consideration of this fact was con-
tributing cause to the passage of tho
anti-sabotage act, now awaiting presi-
Dental signature. The new law will
equip the Department of Justice with
added power to deal with aggressions
against war industries by hostile per-
sons, alien or naturahzed The Depart
ment of Justice had complained of lack
Of full power in this direction. Now
it has been supplied and the country
will demand its exercise in full rigor.
Moreover. the law will put wholesome
limitation upon disloyal utterances and
should discourage anti-American plot
ting of all kinds. France has executed
her Bolo Pasha. 1t is to be hoped that
there are no Bolo Pashas in this country,
but at least there is the comforting re-
Election that the new statute will frost
possible budding Boloism in this land.
