We hold no brief for lynchng, or for the habit
Of certain of our provincial communities Of acting
in advance of legal processes for many injustices
result thereby. But we do insist that Washington
has been too tolerant Of alienism and that the
people now thoroughly awake to this fact.
A pro-German was lynehed in . small town in
Illinois yesterday. In New York recently not
occurred in one of the big clubs because party
of German-A Americans gathered in the grill room
to celebrate in quiet way. the initial success OF
the German drive OF course they were not so
quiet as they intended to be, and result
of their number was nearly killed and number
seriously injured. All were expelled from the
club, and probably the government will be forced
to proceed against them.
The process of internment of certain enemy
suspects is speeding up, but not rapidly enough
Furthermore, it is surrounded with such secrecy
that much of the moral effect is lost. In the Mid
die West and the Rocky Mountain States the
government has not shown the firm hand it should
have shown, and utterances bordering upon sed
ton and treason-in the twilight between
lip loyalty and active enemy propaganda-are much
bolder there than in the East. This boldness is
largely due to Federal laxity. 1t is reported in
the press than in of the Northwestern States
an agitator recently announced that he was pro.
German and intended making pro-German speech.
The fact that he even dared to make such an
announcement-that he telt he was not risklng life
and limb in doing so-shows the degree of latitude
in his sedition to which he had been accustomed
. Bergerisq in Wisconsin has been dealt with
gingerly because it seemed to be unfortunate
by-product Of Socialism, and the government has
no desire of prosecuting anyone for political
sons Similarly, the /. w. w. has been given lee
way which mere individuals acting outside the
breastworks of political creed, have never been
given.
With the shedding OF American blood in the
greatest battle of history there is further
for tolerance with alien activity in the United
States.

Not Fooled All the Time.

Not often, but occasionally, German an
Austrian newspaper shows gleam of intelligence.
Comes now, in the height of Bern's celebration Of
Germanys great victory" in Pcardy the Arbeiter
Zeitung, of Vienna with this:
do not be deceived. If the Germans could
take Calais and Paris and even force France and
Italy to capitulate there will remain the Eng
lish hidden in their isle and America protected by
the ocean The greatest victory cannot impose a
peace of violence on America and England"
According to the rules of Teutonc autocracy
the editor who got off these truths ought to be
hanged, but they open-faced truths that have
been before the eyes of the peoples of Austria
Hungary ever since the United States declared war
on Germany The entente powers and America are
combating Germanys drive for world dominion,
including domination of AustriaH Hungary, and they
will not give up The Vienna editor who dares to
place these truths before the common folks of his
county has courage that comes pretty near being
suicidal
A hopeless Vienna while Berlin celebrates! 1t
is mighty object-lesson.

A Flock of Motor Ships.

OF very high importance is the action of the
Federal Shipping Board in granting permission to
the Atlantic and Pacific Steamship Company to put
fleet of motor-driven ships into the campaign
against the U-boats The permission is granted
under restrictions barring conflict with the govern
ments shipbulding plans and is intended en-
couragement for private interests contribute all
they can toward defeating the submarines.
The A. & P Co. will now place orders for $50
3ooo-ton wooden ships with Oregon shipyards, and
in these ships the Diesel engine bids fair to come
into its own. The motor-driven ship can be built
of smaller timbers than are necessary for other
types and there is saving in boilers. piping. con-
densors, pumps, etc.
A 3ooo-ton ship is not very big one, but
flock of $50 of them will help some. Any ship OF
any size wherever launched, adds little bit more
to what the hungry world has got to have.

Americas Answer.

There is, therefore, but one response possible
for US: Force; Force to the utmost; Force without
stint or limit; the righteous and triumphant Force
which shall make Right the law of tn. world, and
cast every selfish dominion down in the dust"
Here is answer to the Prussian challenge
Here the President categoricaly renounces peace
by negotiation, peace by understanding, and an
that the only peace possible with the Ger
man autocracy is a peace by Force. He is right
He faces issue squarely and unflinehingly.
There was no further need Of appealing to Ger
public opinion German psychology which
for all practical purposes did not exist.
There is need of reviewing the Presidents

There is no double entendre concealed in them no
circumspection circumlocution. Every human
unit in Germany, from Ludendorff to the humblest
laborer, will understand the meaning of his words
that for America now there is no choice but war
to the hilt, to the end war without thought Of
compromise or equvocation, to root out the
foul mtarist ring that is attempting to overthrow
the liberties of the world.

Neither the President any other knows
when the German people will be ready and able to
throw off the grip Of the parasitic olgarchy that
has been fastened upon them. The defeat OF the

President rightly points that Force alone is the
rock upon which can stand.

Speed Up the Merger!

The ground work has been laid for a joint
operation Of the Capital Traction and Washington
Railway and Electric Company lines and there
should be no delay in working out the details.
Traction Expert Beeler has been prompt to see
the new potentialities of improvement contained in
this feature of the local traffic situation and
is now working upon the vital features of the
plan involved in the reroutng of cars and re-
modelling of lines.
His research work will be of the highest pos
sble value in bringing the companies to agree upon
a system of joint control which will be approved
by the Public Utilities Commission without an
hours unnecessary delay. In fact, his own recon-
mendations looking to efficiency and economy of
operation as we'll as to the relief Of congestion,
probably will be accepted by the operating chiefs
OF the companies without substantial change. In
this way they will much valuable time that
might be wasted in going the ground
and the data upon which he already is en-
gagged.
One thing is certain: that if the excellent
initiative which the two traction companies have
shown is not buttressed by action promptly, the
hour of government operation will draw near. In
certain sense, plans for government operations
are being held in abeyance while the companies
show their hand. They have made the right start,
but it is hardly more than a start and for that
reason, they should get together" without further
delay.
Government operation of the local traction
lines should not except last resort.
There is reason why two great properties, in
which thousands of Washingtonans have their saw
ings invested, should be jeoparded merely by
dlatoriness. Relief from congestion must come;
If not by method, then from another The
palliatives that have been put into effect by Mr..
Beeler have been an appreciable improvement but
they have only accented the necessity for drastic
remodeling of our present system. The more this
system is studied, the greater the opportunities
presented BY joint operation become The Wash
ington Herald yesterday announced some of the
tentative plans upon which Mr. Beeler is working,
and it is not too much to say that they are as
clear, simple and logical they are revolutionary
Without joint operation, of course, they are i'm
possible. With it they can be put into effect with
comparatively little delay.

Keeping a Secret.

During an address, Senator Henry F. Hollis, OF
New Hampshire, referred to the happy faculty that
some people have for keeping secrets, and told the
following story:
Recently man named Jones bought likely
with the animal before he discovered that it was
blind. Immediately he set about to unload, and in
a few days the horse again changed owners. Soon
aftcrward the latest purchaser met Jones on the
street.
Look here" he excitedy exclaimed, "that horse
you sold me the other day is blind!'
"Yes" was the rather indifferent rejoinder of
Jones, 81 know it is"
whats that!" shouted the owner. DO
you mean to say that you knew it and didn't
mention the fact!"
"You see, it's this way" explained Jones. THE
man who sold me the horse didn't say word
about it, and / thought perhaps he didn't want
it known"

TO HATE OR NOT TO HATE

1t is influencing US all, this war, no
matter how far we may be from the
scenes Of conflict or how unrelated
we may be to the policies. Our re-
actions from II are making US better
or worse human beings. that IL. better
or worse members Of the State.
Somewhat tardily has come the
question as to the kind Of telling we
should cultivate toward the Germans.
Ought we 20 hate them? Or ought
We to refrain from hating them7
The word that was recently sent out
from Washington not to encourage
hate is In direct line with the atti-
tude Of the President. By differentiat-'
ing between the German government
and the German people he may be said
to have closed the door on hate.
But there are those who are trying
to push It open. And, like all haters,
they are determined.
At the beginning Of the war. three
years and q half ago. the Germans
showed q disposition TO encourage
hate. Lissauer's Hymn Of Hate"
had a great popularity.
Then II faded away.
Two years after the outbreak You
never heard IL sung or spoken Of IN
Berlin.
And there was very little hate talk
in Germany among men in public life.
such talk as there was came from
private individuals who had let their
projudices run away with them.
Somehow the war there had appar-
entity got beyond the merely personal.
Out Of the atmosphere came the sense
OF absorption in a vast undertaking
that involved the meeting OF fearful
hazards and responsibilities.
Hate is 50 petty so personal II
belongs to mean things.
There would be something foolish
In saying that we hated an earth
quake.
Why hate an earthquake?
Hate is not the kind Of emotion 50
mighty a thing as an earthquake
ought TO inspire.
And this war is greater than any
earthquake, a trembling Of the earth
for a brief interval and a subsidence.
It has been shaking the whole
world for three years and a half
There is no knowing how long IL
will shake the world or what will
happen TO the world. physically,
mentally. morally. politically, social
ly. before II is over.
To deal with such q cstacIysm or
any OF the people associated with IL
in terms OF hate is altogether inad-
equate.
Hate 10 the wrong word. And Il
stands for the wrong feeling.
But there are those who long to re-
duce every experience to terms Of
the personal. They try TO appraise II
in an intimate way. to taste Il as
they would = dish.
They smile or they make faces.
They love or they hate.
Meanwhile. their minds become d.
verted from the deeper. more imper-
sonal issues, where the truth SO
often hides.
The Washington herald., 1918-04-07

II only the good people could hate
there might be some credit IN hating.
Or II one could hate only in a right-
eous cause.
But nearly anyone can hate. Il is
the rare being that has no hate in a.
mind. And there is a vast amount OF
hating among people who are active
in vicious causes.
So closely Is hate identified with evil
things that wherever you find evil you
are almost certain to find hate.
But II we're not 70 hate, what iS
there for Us 20 do
The thing 10 DO is the hardest OF all
things and the most servicea bic, TO
try 10 understand.
Hte can never be a means o. work
ing for the lasting peace We all hone
for. Hate has nothing 10 do with
peace Hate keeps the spirit o. war
alive even after war itself has ueasad.
But understanding makes for EN-
cheney. And there is a terrible need
OF efficiency at this time, the kind that
shall turn this war 20 good account,
making war impossible in the future.
When the war ceases We want il 10
reach a clean finish, leaving behind
no seeds OF evr 10 torment the gen
erations yet 70 be.

IANGLEY'S FOLLY"

Professor Langley constructed tho
giant bird-machine and selected a So
cluded spot near Quantico. on the Po-
tomac below Washington, for the trial
AND there happened one OF the
most tragic things in all the history
OF scientific endeayor After vainly
waiting for a moment Of comparative(
privacy for his tests. DR.. Langley de-
clded that delay was no longer pos
slble, and I'm the presence Of a cloud
OF unfriendly witnesses-who had been
lrrttated by the failure OF the perverse
scientists TO furnish scoops for their
papers-essayed the first flight.
A rocket shot up in the air as a
signal to the inventors assistants 10

hap. There was a sound as OF the
whirring Of many mighty wings when
the huge launching-sprfng shot the

enormous bird-thing WAS in the air:
then, instead Of rising and soaring. IL
fioundered helplessly and feu into tho
water. There had been a defect in the
launching. and the machine did not
have a chance 20 show what II could
do. This so-called trial was really no
test at all
The reporters, however, had an op-
portunity 70 show what they could do.
The next day all the newspapers OF
the country printed long articles de-
scr1bing the spectacular failure ot
the man OF learning who had left the
safe and sane ways of scientific in
vestigation to attempt the impossible.
'Langley's folly they called the poor
aerodrome. Men read the story at
their breakfast tables and said with,
