No Peace Traffic With Murderers

No Peace Traffic With Murderers.
Direct warning that the German
military practices, marked by atrocious
barbarism on sea and on land, will mill
tate against the central powers in the
framing Of the eventual terms of peace
is given in the Presidents rejoinder
when he says that the allied govern
ments viii not consent to consider an
armistice $50 long as the armed forces
of Germany continue the illegal and
inhumane practices which they still
persist in1-practices which the allies
"justly look upon with horror and with
burning hearts" The utter hypocrisy
of the German plea for peace has been
betrayed by the denominations of the
retreat and of the foul murder of sur
vivors of torpedoed ship seeking to es-
cape in small boats. Germany has ap-
preached the allies with petition for
peace, with hands dripping with the
blood Of innocents. There can be no
traffic on equal terms with criminal.
There can be no peace talk with a
power that outrsges every principle Of
humanity, and, far from expressing
contrition, pursues this vile course
in the very hour Of peace proposal.

A "Peace Drive" in Flanders.

If the Germans hoped to make an
effective stand on the Client Courtrai.
Journal Valenciennes line they are
doomed to disappointment. Under the
smashing blows of British, French and
Belgian forces in Flanders, under the
command Of King Albert Of Belgium

mendous allied artillery fire.
The highly important communities
ton center of Roulers is definitely in
allied hands, while the British forces
are bringing genuine menace to Cour-
trai, one of the central points Of de-
tense on the northern front. There is
every reason to believe that the at
tacks ushered in yesterday can be car
ried as far as the allies choose, as the
character Of the country on which the
belligerents are struggling is not con-
ducive to effective defense, particu-
larly in view of the Huns crumbling
power.
The advance furthermore brings into
close perspective the evacuation of the
German submarine bases of Ostend
and Zeebrugge, for as soon as the
Ghent-Bruges railway is severed by al
lied arms the Germans cannot hope to
retain Ostend for any period. That
they would still try to retain Zee
brugge in the face of peril is incon-
ceivable.
While emphasizing the danger to
which the allies are putting the enemy
in the regions stretching along the Bel
gian coast it likewise deepens the
Douai salient, which the Germans are
begrudgingly giving up. In view of
Field Marshal Foch's strategy it is to
be expected that the British and Amer
lean forces soon will strike forward
again in the regions to the northeast
of Cambria, thereby frightening the
danger to the Germans tarrying in the
Douai pocket.
Renewal Of such attacks would bring
the prospect of closing the bag about
the Teutons into the realm Of posi-
bility.

The Army Emergency Bill.

The banner appropriation bill for
size will be reported to the House this
week. It is for the Army emergency,
and it carries nine billions Of dollars
The war revenue bill, now before the
Senate finance committee, carries seven
billions, and the fourth liberty loan is
for six.
The appropriations committee has
gone over the matter with care, and
this probably accounts for the expecta-
ton that the House will give but two
days to discussion.
Notice has been served that a quorum
will be demanded; and the demand
should be enforced. Both the size and
the subject matter Of the measure call
for a good attendance Of members. 30

ject should not be voted by a corporaps
guard. representatives absent on
fence-mending missions should respond
Ill uuulUcIS W tuc SuuluUuSs
The Senate will not delay action, but
will probably not duplicate the Houses
speed. Leader Martin does not expect
the measure taken up by the Senate
until next week. No suggestion is
made as to the length Of the debate.
It falls out happily that Secretary
Baker has just returned from his Sec
ond visit to the front. He is advised,
Of course, at first hand Of conditions
there, and Of what further is necessary
on the part Of Congress to meet the
Army's demands. So that both House
and Senate, if they desire, can have the
benefit Of his information and sug-
gestions up to date.
This measure is not affected by peace
talk. The appropriation would be nee
essary If peace were guaranteed for
next week or next month. Our Army
and Navy are not going out of COM
mission upon the cessation Of Euro
pean hostiEties; and their further sup
port upon liberal lines will be impera-
tive. The policy of preparedness has
como to stay. We shall not drop back,
even approximately, to the old condi-
tons, nor ever again present the amaz-
ing, almost incredible, spectacle Of a
great nation Of colossal wealth and
heavy responsibilities without adequate
means of self-defense.
The explanations Of this measure in
both House and Senate will possess
general interest, as relating to a SUBJ
ject which appeals to all. The Army
il acquitting itself so admirably
abroad, approval goes readily to all
measures for it's welfare and support.

Stop the Clerks From Coming!

Chairman McIlhenny of the Civil
Service Commission announces that he
is awaiting a formal letter from the
District health officer before laying be-
fore the commission the question of
stopping the inflow Of new war workers
to Washington while the influenza cpl
demic is raging. The health officer
says that he is not contemplating &C.
ton in the matter at present, inasmuch
as the public health service had taken
the matter up. The surgeon general Of
the public health service has made q
personal recommendation to the Civil
Service Commission that it use its in
fluence with the departments to get
along without additional employees.
Through Commissioner Brownlow the
local government is cooperating with
the national government, as repre-
scented by the surgeon general in
checking this inflow.
There should be no hitch in this
matter, no waiting for one or another
authority to act. The Civil Service
Commission should take cognizance Of
the situation promptly. This is a mat
ter of life and death. Every days de.
lay is dangerous. So keenly is the
menace appreciated that the Secretary
of the Interior has issued an an
nouncement of his desire that no more
people be brought from out Of town to
work in that department during the
epidemic.

What safeguards and guarantees can
be given to maintain this supremacy
pending an armistice are, of course, not
indicated. That, as the President in
dicates, is purely a military matter.
But it is clear from his rejoinder to
Germany that there is no peril Of weak
ening the supremacy of our Army in
any program that may be possible as
Ia preliminary to peace arrangements.

Military Supremacy Assured.

In one particular respect President
Wilson's reply to the German peace
note is a blow between the eyes Of
Prussian militarism. It is that pas
sage in which he says that "the process
Of evacuation and the conditions Of an
armistice are matters which must be
left to the judgment and advice Of the
military advisers Of the government
Of the United States and the allied
governments" and this warning that
the war is to continue without remis-
sion is emphasized by his Immediately
subsequent statement that "no ar
rangement can be accepted by the
government of the United States which
does not provide absolutely satisfac-
tory safeguards and guarantees Of the
present military supremacy Of the
armies Of the United States and Of tho
allies In tho fields"

Save Coal,

Coal must be saved. The price is
high and the supply scanty. Keep as
little FIRE in the furnace as will main
tain the temperature at comfortable
degree. Keep the rooms moist, for
moist air heats easier and cheaper than
dry air and hot dry air causes colds
and catarrh. A pan Of water or jar
of water near the register or the radia-
tor will produce the moisture needed.
Do not waste hot water, for it takes
coal to make hot water. Do not waste
gas because gas costs money and re-
quires coal to make it. Do not fail to
sift the ashes. Skillful handling of the
furnace will save coal. Observe all
these rules and help exc out the coal
supply. These economies are being
urged by the fuel administration in
various states.
