The Dormitories.

Consideration Of whether the govern
ment's housing project in this city,
for the accommodation Of the war
workers brought here to aid the United
States in It's clerical service, should be
continued to completion should turn
strictly upon the question Of need. If
there is any present requirement for
the additional housing facilities afford
cd by the structures now approaching
completion on the station plaza they
should be advanced and used to full
capacity. II the outflow Of new clerks
is proceeding with such speed as to
promise an immediate relief from the
congestion felt here, the construction
should be suspended and the structures
cleared away, If not urgently required
for some other uss, q quickly as pos
sible.
These buildings were tardily begun
to meet a condition which caused seri-
Gus discomfort among the governments

more intensive school work to Ameri-
canize the millions who are now in
large part dependent upon tore1en fan
guages for their communication.
On the score Of the returning SOL
der Mr.. Lane proposes the utilization
of now waste lands, Of three characters,
those that need water and may be
rendered fertile through irrigation,
those that have too much water and
may be reclaimed by drainage works,
and those that have been cut over or
abandoned and require clearance. In
all these works the government. pre-
sumably with state cooperation, should
promptly engage on a large scale.
These works of reclamation will give
employment to great numbers of men
who are soon to return to civilian life
from military service and for whom
no occupation is assured. But merely
providing these men with work will
not suffice. Mr.. Lanes project is to
establish them upon farms Of their
own, directly or after participation in
the reclamation works which he urges.
Such a program will accomplish seven
vitally important objects, providing i'm
mediate jobs for the men themselves,
protecting the labor market against col
lapse through surplus, providing for
many lines of re-established industry
an immediate demand for their prod
ucts, staying the movement toward the
cities and thus more completely de-
centralizing our population. af6xing
to the soil large number Of the best
proved Americans, setting up through
out the land the most modern pattern
of farm settlement and bringing into
use great areas which now lie neglect
ed and of no value to the world.
President Wilson in his annual ad-
dress to Congress strongly Endorsed
this project. Legislation will be need
ed. Large appropriations will be re-
quired. The problem, however, is a
grave one, and the solution Of it should
be undertaken on the same scale Of
wise provision on which the United
States entered the war and conducted
its part speedily to success.

Our Nayy's War Work.

Reports of naval operations during
the war bring to light the fact, not
previously fully appreciated by this
country, that the American Navy play
ed the major part in conveying our
troops to Europe. This work was or
ganized hurriedly, but was carried out
with q remarkable smoothness and ef-
fciency. The fact is that only one load
ed transport was sunk in the subma-
rine-infested seas, and that the total
number of lives lost as consequence
of the enemy's operations stands as
proof of the thoroughness Of the naval
service in that most vitally important
phase of the military operations.
Admiral Mayo in his annual report,
printed yesterday, pays a high tribute
to the naval personnel engaged in this
work Of conveying our transports.
There was the most perfect co-opera-
ton, he says, between the men of our
feet and those Of the allied naval
forces. Every man in the service was
inspired by the single thought of do
ing his utmost for American success,
which meant allied success.
Conspicuous in the part played by
the naval personnel in the war was
the work of the marines, the navy's
landing force. On repeated occasions
the marines proved themselves the
NAL of any Of the fighters on the
allied line. They have written a glori-
GUS chapter in addition to their al
ready splendid record Of achievements.
At times they held positions of vital
importance against heavy odds. In
point of adaptability, spirit and eff
cheney they measured up to the high
est standard
These records of naval efficiency dur
ing the year and a half Of Americas
participation in the war are to be
borne in mind in connection with the
provision for the increase of the Navy
now under consideration. The fact
cannot be ignored that had it not been
for the remarkably effective work of
our naval forces Americas contribu-
ton to the fighting strength of the
allies could not have been placed in
position for service in season to turn
the tide of battle.

Work for the Ex.Soldiers.

Seldom has an annual government
report been submitted with so much
that is worthy Of public consideration,
forcibly and wildly expressed, as
that Of Secretary Lane Of the Depart
ment Of the Interior, issued today. It
is positive and valuable contribution
to the reconstruction process follow
ing the war, a bit Of what Mr.. Lane
calls Cooking forward" work. To the
extent that the laws permit his de-
partment has been already at work
upon developing two policies which he
thus briefly states:
Gone Of those policies is that our
schools shall be made to more COM
pletely serve America as a nation. The
other policy is that the lands Of this
country shall not lie unused. Both
may be included in the broader mean
ing of the word tAmericanization'-
for one makes for the development Of
moro helpful American citizens and
the other makes for the development
Of moro serviceable American acres.
For the intensifcation and extension of
these two policies I would make ear
nest appeal that the high advantages
Of freedom which We have championed
may be the more perfectly realized"
Americanization consists in first edu-
eating those who are Of alien birth
and not yet brought up to tho Ameri-
can standard Of literacy. On this
point Mr.. Lane makes Q showing that
il truly startins-as, for instance, out
Of tho first 2,O00, 900 men drafted for
military service 100000 could not read
their orders or understand them when

which the enabling legislation was en-,
acted and then to the leisureEness with
which plans were drawn and finally put
into execution. The signing of the
armistice and the cessation of hostii-
ties found them unfinished.
It is not to be conceived that these
buildings will be permitted to remain
indefinitely. They mar the appearance
Of the city in most conspicuous place
and occupy lands that are designed as
Ia public park. To their erection there
as an emergency measure there was
no demur. To their indeterminate oc-
cupation Of that space there will be a
most positive protest. The only ques-
ton now is whether there is any ne
cessity for their use. That can be best
answered by the heads of the gov
eminent departments who have been
employing extra forces Of clerks.
The fact that large sum has been
spent in the erection Of the buildings
should not govern now in the question
Of their completion and retention.
They are to be viewed as other war
works of the government, in prepara-
ton for a longer war than could be
foreseen when they were started. Many
millions of dollars have been expended
in anticipation of a prolongation of
the conflict beyond the limit that oc-
CURED through the sudden collapse
of the enemy's power in the field.
Great numbers Of men were put into
camp for training on the eve of the
armistice, only to be dismissed at once.
In an economic sense that was waste.
In broader sense, those expenditures
were as investments in victory, assur
ing the United States a strength in
the field in a short time against which
Germany could not possibly hope to
contend. Let the scrapping begin as
soon as the need has passed, without
regrets for the cost.

District Needs and the Senate.

Yesterday the House of Representa-
tives passed the District appropria-
tion bill carrying the same amount
recommended by the committee, $l4,-
093, ,70l, to be paid on the basis of ap-
proximately Y per cent from the
District revenues and % per cent from
federal revenues This sum, however,
does not represent the District needs,
even as submitted in the form of estl-
mates. Indeed, in framing the bill GER
tain estimates we're deliberately ig-
nored, one roughly of $1,500,OO0 for
salary increases, including better pay
for the teachers, for whose relief a
most urgent appeal has been made.
By cutting down the estimates that
were considered and by ignoring
those just mentioned the committee
and the House following it made an
artificial showing of increasing the
surplus of District funds, plainly to
justify the proposed abrogation Of the
half-and-half principle of the organic
act.
The bill now goes to the Senate in
this inequitable form, and the District
hopes for continuance of the consid-
Grafton and justice manifested by the
Senate on former occasions. It hopes
at least for a full provision for its
needs, especially since the war has
practically ended, and there is no
further occasion for extraordinary
economies in matters of actual neces-
sity. It surely expects that the Com
missioners' estimates which the House
has ignored will be taken into account.
In the redrafting of the bill in the
Senate, which is now more essential
than ever before, consideration should
be given to the fact that there is a
large arrears of District needs. In
framing the measure to a closer ap-
Proclamation to the local requirements,
the Senate should and it is expected
will take into account projects recon-
mended in the recent years by the
Commissioners and set aside on the
plea of wartime economy, and this
year not renewed in the estimates be-
, cause they we're framed while war was
,still in progress and the need of
economy for the next fiscal year was
presumed to be as urgent as before.
If these arrears of need and the cur
rent ignored estimates are all provided
for, especially in the matter Of teach
ers' compensation, there will be no
District surplus to add to the local
revenues lying idle in the Treasury in
consequence of failure Of appropria-
tion and constantly tempting such in
equities as that which marked the pas
sage of the bill in the House yester-
day when an amendment was adopted
drawing 100000 out of the une1pend.
ed District moneys to pay certain old
accounts dug out of the records, and,
If ever valid, in all fairness outlawed
by lapse of time.

USING REPUBLICAN TALENT

William H. Taft. in commenting President Will son taking the railroads, and appointing Secretary McAdoo to operate them, mildly censures President for adhering closely to party lines in choosing his advisors.
 "The Republican party in Congress has been body more loyal to the Presidents policies than his own" says Judge Taft Perhaps the the President has not called Republican leaders into consultation often is that he results Both branches Congress in Democratic control, and to consult with Republicans, in preference to Demo. crats might make it difficult to hold the Demo crats in line and get the necessary results
 Taft is in favor of the so-caed coalition cabinet. He says party association seems necessary to make a Cabinet work harmoniousy under our system He does advocate the choice of able and experienced Republicans for special tasks in carrying on the war. The Republic heartily agrees with him in this and think of abler more experienced Republican with whom entrust of the very biggest and most important of these special tasks than former President William Howard Taft
