in her hour Of demoralization peace
that will make for an enormous increase
in Germany's military, political and
economic strength.
It is sign Of encouragement that a
German newspaper is able to see as does
the Volkszeitung of Ieipsig that "these
intentions must strengthen the war will
of the entente" A leaven is working
in the German lump. They are begin
ming to realize something of tho real
war aims of the German government.
Eventually. perhaps, somebody will arise
in Germany bold enough to declare
plainly who it was that started the war,
whose will it was that plunged the world
into this horror, whose ambition it was
that caused the tearing of the scrap of
papcr, whose nature it was that set 2
pace of barbarism in so-called civilized
conflict that has shocked humanity. And
when that day comes and voice rises
that every German recognizes as the
voice of truth there may be a real peace
movement, based upon sincerity and
good faith, and not upon duplicity and
sham.

Solving the Fuel Problem.

No more coal to be hauled by dealers

buildings, factories, churches or thea
tiers until domestic needs are supplied.
All coal dealers to pool their sup
plies and hauling equipment within
twenty -four hours under penalty of hav-
ing them commandeered by the fuel ad-
ministrator.
These are the orders to be given to-
night to the fuel venders by, the ad-
ministrator. That they will be effective
in insuring the proper supply of the
householders of Washington is the hope
and expectation.
Meanwhile the government orders
that none but soft coal be used in the
public buildings, which will help ma
terially. The federal director of trans
portation has already set the coal trains
in motion. The depleted supply should
soon be replenished. With equitable dis
fribution there should be an early re-
lief from the present dangerous short
age Of fuel in many Washington homes.
Vigorous action was necessary and the
public is grateful that it has been taken.

The Jitney Palliative.

Some slight relief from the street
car congestion may result from the cs
tablishment of "iitney" lines under the
Public Utilities Commissions action of
yesterday in granting an increase OF
fare to 10 cents and permitting the ma
chimes to operate without restriction as
to streets III the non-rush hours. Further
slight relief may possibly also result
certain prescribed routes under an ap-
plication which was approved, but which
is yet to result in the organization of
the operating company. The jitneys,
which fiourished for time during the
street car strike of last spring, but grad
ually went out of business because they
could not make money on a 5-cent fare,
with exclusion from certain streets down
town, have now to contend with the
handicap of an increased fare, which viii
affect patronage, and also the imita-
tion of routes which bars them from the
most desirable lines during the busy
morning and evening periods. More re-
lief IS likely to come from the proposed
omnibus service, which, as projected
viii give total inside seating capacity
of 1000. Yet even this is only small
fraction of the traffic of morning and
evening. By the time the bus lines are
in operation, if they are actually start
ed, it is likely that with the growth of
the city the traffic volume will have in
creased considerably beyond that fig
ure.
To bring real relief to the car-riding
public of the District there must be
more car lines and more cars. A l0-cent
transportation service is not satisfac-
tory substitute or measure of relief.
The majority of the morning and even
ing ear riders cannot afford to pay 140
per cent more than their present fares.
While there may be enough who are
able and willing to pay this difference
for more comfortable and more rapid
|service-assuming the jitney service is
both-to maintain the lines in opera
tion that number withdrawn from the
street car lines will not measurably re-
lieve the pressure upon them. Thus the
jitney and bus services on a l0-cent
basis will serve only as palliative and
not as remedy for condition that
demands speedy and radical correction.

years ago. Since the war began he has
been especially helpful.
Argentina's position is puzzle at this
time. justification for breach of re-
lations with Germany has been present
ed in the Luxburg disclosures, which
have never been denied or refuted in
tho least degree. Yet the government
at Buenos Aires stands on terms of Off
cial friendship with that Of Berlin. Ar
gcntina's ships have been "sunk with
out trace" Her public officials have
been rcyiled in official dispatches. Her
people have been slandered. Schemes
have been hatched for revolts in her
territory. Plots have been promoted
for combinations that, if effected, would
ALLEVIATE her from her most powerful
and valuable friends of the western
hemisphere. Still in the face of all
these provocations the government at
Buenos Aires refuses to heed the vainly
expressed, sentiment of the people and
maintains friendly relations with the
power that has brought it to shame.
The resignation of its ambassador at
Washington, however regretable, is TO
be applauded as a protest against this
condition.

The Wiser Diplomacy.

From time to time, since the outbreak
of war, intimations have appeared in
the British press, usually from sources
close TO Lord Northcliffe, indicating a
belief that the British ambassador, Sir
Cecil Spring Rice, was NOT as alert as
he might well have been in apropagan-
da' work and contrasting his activities
in this respect with those of Count Bern
storff. If there is any real impression
to this effect in London it ought to be
removed at once No one in any de
gree familiar with public sentiment in
this country can doubt that had the
British and French ambassadors sought
to emulate Bernstorff in his efforts to
educate American public opinion the re
suit would have been ealamitous to the
allied cause. We have had more than
enough of meddlesome offensive propa-
ganda, and not the least of the great
services that allied ambassadors here
have rendered their countries has been
in their resolute refusal to enter into
this business of iecturing and instruct
ing the people of the United States as
to their duties-a fact that Lord North

The President Reports.

i President Wilson's address to Con
gress today is in the way of a report
of his recent action in taking control
of the railway systems of the country
as q measure of national defense. He
accompanies his statement of what has
been done with the recommendation
plainly forecast in his initial announce
ment at the time the power of federal
control was exercised, that guarantees
be given that the railroad properties
will be maintained under government
management in as good repair and as
complete equipment as at present, and
that the several roads viii receive, under
federal control, such compensation as is
equitable and just alike TO their owners
and to the general public. There is no
departure from the initial basis of the
executive action. The President sug-
gests, as he has heretofore indicated
that the proper basis of compensation
would be the average net railway op-
Grating income Of the three years end
ing June so, 1917. He urges prompt
action on these matters.
Unqualified public approval has been
given to the Presidents course in tax
ing over the railroads. Already valua-
BILE results have been scored There
Is no apparent disposition to question
either of the proposals now formally
submitted to Congress, in principle,
though some have suggested that the
basis of compensation proposed is too
liberal. The Presidents recommended
tion is undoubtedly based upon Il
thoughtful study of the conditions and
the equities, and probably stands as the
most just treatment of the roads, the
executives of which have displayed
such a loyal spirit Of aequiescence and
cooperation.
Prolonged debate upon these matters
will not be helpfal. The roads have
been taken and are working more
smoothly and efficiently under coneen-
trated control. The financial adjust
ment should be speedily effected.

Speed the School Pay Bill.

Too great emphasis cannot be laid
upon the absolute necessity Of iumedi-
ate action By Congress on the reauisi-
tion for higher pay for public school
teachers if the District schools are TO be
kept running this winter At the pres
ent rate Of designations in both the
teaching and the building forces, owing
to the inadequacy of the pay, it will
not be many weeks before the schools
will be unnamed, especially the lower
grades The present minimum of $500
year for teachers and s25 month for
Janitors' assistants subjects the schools
to inevitable losses 1t is unsafe to at
tempt to maintain the buildings with
an inadequate janitor service. The lives
Of the children are at stake. Makeshifts
are now necessary in practically every
building in the District, and the com
munity is fortunate that there have been
no disasters in consequence Of the short
cning of the service forces.
The bill now pending providing for
deficiency appropriations will, it is he
iieved, correct this condition and insure
the retention Of teachers and janitors
for the present school year. If it IS not
passed promptly, however, continued
designations may be expected. The un-
derpaid school workers cannot be ex-
peeted to remain indefinitely through
loyalty and sense of public duty.
Their cost of living has risen and their
pay has remained stationary. Especial
attention should be paid to this measure
for the earliest possible passage.
