Housecleaning in France.

France is proceeding steadily with
her housecleaning. Following the con-
viction and execution for treason Of
Bolo Pasha comes the condemnation of
Duval. director of the pro-German
journal, Bonnet Rouge, and this is
accompanied by conviction and sen-
tence to varying terms Of imprison-
ment of six men associated with him
in his conduct Of the "defeatist" propa-
ganda. Next will follow the trials of
Joseph Caillaux, former premier Of
France and subsequently minister Of
the interior, and Of Louis Malvy, min
lister Of the interior in the Ribot gov
eminent. The former will be tried by

Dangerous Stone Throwing.

Inspired perhaps by stories of gre
made throwing at the battle front, small
boys in this city are committing a very
dangerous nuisance by casting stones
at automobiles in the streets. In some
parts of town this has become a per-
sistent practice. and numerous COM
plants have been made Of people rid
ing in motor cars being hit by these
missiles. It is almost impossible to
catch the offenders, for they throw
stones and then run and are immedi-
ately out of sight in case the machine
is stopped and pursuit is attempted.
Before grave injury is inflicted
this matter should be called to the
attention of all the parents of Wash
ington to adnonish their children that
the throwing Of stones at passing We
hicles is extremely dangerous. The
police should be on the lookout for
such offenders and, if possible, should
arrest the stone throwers. The par
ents, however, must do the primary
work Of prevention.

and very high personal character led
to his nomination two years ago for
the Office Of President Of the United
States. A highly competent man.
therefore, everywhere respected. is
added to the governments staff Of air
plane inquisitors.
1t is to be regretted that something
resembling q controversy between the
President and the Senate committee
on military affairs has arisen respect
ing war activities. 1t is assumab1e
that both desire light let in where light
should be. Ii there have been delin-
quencies in the airplane field they
should be formally exposed, and the
officials responsible for them punished.
II there have been delinquencies in
other war fields the same course should
be pursued. The sentiment Of the
country is, Let no delinquency or de-
linuuept official escape.
Congress has a duty to perform
bears a responsibility-beyond voting
supplies for conducting hostilities. 1t
should keep informed about the in
vestments Of the money, and what the
government is getting in return. The
amounts are staggering in size, and the
governments needs are varied. And,
for all anybody in this country knows,
the war for us may be in its initial
stages.

band in his newspaper as q "German."
Before her trial, which resulted in her
acquittal on grounds that would in this
country be stated as emotional insan-
ity," a report gained currency that she
had been presented with a diamond
necklace by an "eminent parsonage be-
yond the Rhine" At the end Of March
in the course of a scmi-public meeting
of monarchists in Paris in the interest
Of the Duke Of Orleans as pretender to
the "French crown" a speaker de-
nounced Caillaux specifically as q Ger
man agent. This was four months be-
fore the war started.
Nine. Caillaux's acquittal, it was ru-
mored at the time, was desired by the
French government, which feared to
1oment the anti-German spirit then
rising in France, in view Of the in
creasing development of socialism. 1t
has been limited that Germany's de-
cision to make war on the issue of the
Scra ievo assassination was due in large
part to the belief that the French So
cialists would not support the Paris
government in the event of an inva-
sion. Recent developments in connec-
ton with the treason cases in France
have suggested that in reaching this
conclusion Germany was guided by re-
ports from Paris, and the name Of Gail
laux has been mentioned in this con-
nection. Consequently startling dis
closures are predicted for the trial
soon to begin.

The Water Supply.

Col Fisk's report to the War De-
partment showing dangerously close
approach to the limit Of water supply
should lead without fail to immediate
steps to increase the reservoir and FL
tration plant capacity. Warnings have
been given for years past that we were
getting too close to the known limits
Of the Potomac supply. and Congress
has been implored to move vigorously
for the enlargement of the plant.
Without anticipating the conditions
causing sudden great increase in the
eity's population, it was recognized
that in the course of few years it
would be imperatively necessary to ex-
pand the system. Now the figures pre-
scented show that this work must be
undertaken speedily. During the
month of April the average quantity Of
water pumped to the filters daily was
g., $50 900 gallons, 1l,s9O,000 gallons
more than during April, 1917. Col.
Fisk states that the safe dependable
capacity of the conduit is 65,000.000
gallons day, with a possibility Of fur
nishing 5000, 600 daily for time and
as an extreme limit 10000, 900 daily for
a very short time. The absolute limit
of the plant is represented by the last
given figure, as the pumps that raise
the water to the filters have
only that maximum capacity if all
three are used. Practically the safe
capacity is not much over the pump
ing limit of two-thirds of the plant,
for one pump must be kept in reserve
for repairs. This means that we are
now at the safe maximum.
Enlargement Of the water plant in
volves several possibilities-prinlarily,
a raising of the dam at Great Falls to
increase the volume of water avail
able; second, enlargement of the con
duit system bringing water from the
falls to the reservoirs; third, enlarge
ment of the reservoir and pumping
systems. and, finally, enlargement Of the
filtration plant. 1t is matter for the
engineers to determine whether in
what may be regarded as the emer-
geney Of today it is necessary to I'M
dertake all of these measures of ex-
pansion or to proceed from the fltra-
ton end, working backward through
the extensive and naturally expensive
program Of general enlargement.
It must be borne in mind that Wash
ington's population, now to be reck-
oned at perhaps 425,000-it is impos-
sible to know the exact figure owing
to the heavy inflow and the fuctua-
tons incident 70 war Organization
will increase rather than diminish in
the next few years, even granting that
part of this present increase is tenn
porary. 1t is safe to reckon upon at
least decade Of unusual growth, aud
it is by no means improbable that a
year hence will find Washington with
$50 600 population and almost continu-
ally at the point of exhausting the
available water supply. In these cir
cumstances there is no time to be lost.

The Thirty.Seven.D Day Ship.

A phenomenal record has been mace
in the matter Of rapid American ship
building, . record that should be pro-
claimed throughout the world and par
1ieulsziy in Germany. The collier
Taekshoe Of 5,54s tons, launched in
twenty seven days after the keel was
laid, has been put into commission,
cosled and supplied for her maiden
voyage, in thirty-seven days. No suck
speed in the construction of ships has
ever before been made, and the most
gratifying feature of this performance
is that it can be repeated.
II We can put ships in commission in
less than six week. apiece from the
time Of the first stroke of assembling
We need have no apprehension Oh the
score Of German submarines. What
has been done at Camden with the
.Tuckahoe can undoubtedly be done At
ether yards. During the past year, de-
spite the delays and difficulties ell
eountered, An immensely important
work of yard organization has been
accomplished, and today the United
States is. equipped to turn out armadas
Of merchantmen that in a few months
viii swarm the seas. It has been only
q question Of organization. The pity
Is that We were not a year earlier in
our start. Had we begun twelve months

Warrington Summer Headquarters

Warrington Summer Headquarters.
The President, it IL stated, will make
occasional visits to White Sulphur
. Springs during the summer. He spent
last summer in Washington. But Con-
Gress vas in session, and his absence
would have been announcement. This
summer, if its plans arc not changed,
Congress will take q rest, so that mem
bers may devote the time, and even ad-
ditional time, to examining. and where
necessary mending. their political
fences.
Still, whether Congress leaves or
stays. this town will remain headquar-
ters, and the President while here will
be in closer touch than elsewhere with
war matters Of all kinds. And they
may be of many kinds.
War matters are multiplying in num-
Der and developing in complexity. This
country is getting into the war game.
A large number of American soldiers
have already gone over, and a larger
number are scheduled for early de-
parture. Interest in their welfare is
intense. Their needs are the leading
consideration.
And work behind the firing lines
Is far behind as American soil-wiH
continue most important. and demand
careful and ceaseless scrutiny. 1t
should not be permitted to lag for a
day. Speed, and still more speed,
should continue to be the cry.
Tho President is the eommander-in-
c chief of the Army and Navy. As such
h will have to pass upon many and
varied questions, and, of course, should
be able to do SO as promptly as pos
,,sible. His eye will be kept busy glanc-
ing from America to Europe, and back
again Mich will depend upon his de-
cisions, for the American part in hos
tilities is, and will remain, under his
direction.
The coming summer may be the most
strenuous since the war began. At
least six months more Of good fighting
weather will be utilizable before the
snow flies in Belgium and northern
France. Preparations on both sides
for utilizing it have been made, and
some big results are expected.
At his desk in his Office here the
President is, or at short notice can get,
in communication with his assistants
Of oil classes, and give his orders with
out fear Of delay. Confinement for the
second summer to such drudgery may
Drove fageing, but the President is be-
ginning tho second in excellent physi.
