The greatest hit so far produced by the popular Broadway Revue Musical Comedy company. entitled Bunco, or the Baby Elephant, was the offering at the Auditorium theatre to two well filled houses and, true to the promises made, was a laugh from start to fin ish.
 It is without question the best all around musical comedy seen here at popular prices in a long time and was clean and entertaining throughout.
 The comedy of Bill Jennings and Sidney Rogers, who impersonate the baby elephant, is a scream.
 Peggy Carroll, the dainty little sing ing and dancing soubrette, made her usual hit and her songs were well re- ceived.
 The other members of the company did their best with surprising results. The numerous song numbers offered were beautifully costumed and the really pretty girls of the chorus, who can both sing and dance, looked charming in their pretty costumes.
 The opening chorus, a typical old time country dance, was exceedingly well rendered. and the same can be said of the others. The added feature, and 1t was a feature, the pick up" number, where each girl has to sing d

The boy sat on the greasy deck A-eatin' of his chow; They'd run him of the forward

 And chased him out the bow. The wind had blown his bread away He'd slipped and spilled his beans, And now his neighbours coffee Was a-soakin' up his jeans. He heard a voice ring through the
 air
 In accents loud and bold: You hike across the after hatch And scramble down the hold" There's water on the other side To grease your dishes in.'

 It's really very nice, They send us little sewing kits. With which we sew and splice; Wrist watches and bright wristlets, And ulles on which to strum, But never any poison
 For the hungry Army crumb. Oh, yes, dear friends, we've got

washington's War Population.

The Commissioners In their annual
report estimate the local population
in October, 1918, at 526,24s, reaching
this figure from a basis Of the increase
in street car fares. During October,
1917, the number Of fares collected
on the local street railways was H.
573, ,53s, and in October, 1918, 1885, 80,
an increase of 3,s26,372. or 1906 per
cent. It is by applying this percentages
Of fare increase with the population
that the approximation of 526,24s peo-
pie living in the District Id October,
1918, is reached.
Since the United States entered the
war and the government establish
ments in this city were expanded to

President brought himself into an

ter will not soon be forgotten. And
then the news from Versailles from
time to time may afford texts for OBJ
servatioas.
First and last, therefore, the Senate
chamber for Che coming three months
is likely to be one Of the most desir-
able places in the country for both
actors and audiences.
For some years the Senate has been
taking the shine off" the House in
the matter Of public interest. The
House for long bore the palm. But
the cuftailment Of debate there and
the easily invoked power OF the com
mittee on rules have turned attention
elsewhere. The "big things" have been
staged in the Senate; and some stir
ring dramas have been enacted.
Nor will interest in the Senate ex-
pire with this Congress. It may be
greater even in the next Congress. A
majority of two will require very care
full handling. There must be repub-
lican unity, OF there may be party dis
|aster. And party disaster OH the eve

might be expensive in the extreme.
1t is to be said, too, that that mar
row majority should contribute to good
legislation. Hasty work could not well
be risked. Measures must be thorough
ly thought out and conferred about
before they are subjected to the test
of debate and an open vote.

Why Germany Is Sore.

II is quite important to ascertain
whether, as the National Zeitung of
Basel, Switzerland, suggests, the
Hohenzollerns were dismissed only be-
cause they failed to conquer and not
because they violated all the laws Of
humanity. There is reason to believe
that the Swiss paper has correctly es-
timated the situation. No evidence ap-
pears anywhere that the German peo-
pie are contrite or conscience stricken
for the denominations practiced in their
name and by them under the direction
Of their former rulers in the progress
Of the war. So far not one syllable
Of repentance has been heard from
Berlin from any representative source
It is far more likely that the indig,
nation prevailing in Germany today is
on the score of failure rather than
prickinSs Of conscience. Had the kai-
ser succeeded in his schemes, had the
German armies triumphed in France
and occupied Paris and permitted q
Germanic dietation of terms of peace
there would have been none SO great
as William Hohenzollern and his co.
terie Of statesmen and generals. Moth

The Message.

The President yesterday said many
things he need not have said, and left
unsaid some things he should have
said.
The present is session of an ex-
piring Congress. The people last
month voted for a change of control
on Capitol Hill. Hence, the proper
business for this session is of rou-
tine nature-voting necessary supplies
for the support of the government, and
attending to the odds and ends of a
few other matters.
Reconstruction is for the, new Con-
Rress to inaugurate. The voters so de-
elared at the polls. 1t was the issue
of the campaign. The war was ap-
preaching its end, and peace policies
must soon take shape. These were
committed to the republican party;
and that party will be available for
the service required as soon after
March 4 as the President may indi-
cate.
Moreover, leading, if not the lead
ing, issue of that kind at present re-
iates to the railroads-their future,
and what it should be. As to that, the
President makes no recommendation.
As yet, he has no railroad policy, but
realizes that one is necessary. he
submits the matter, with some discus
sion, to Congress, but to the wrong
Congress. This Congress has its hands
full of routine; and the railroad ques-
tion is too important to be disposed
of as something on the side. Let 1t
70 over until after the new Congress
comes into being.
What Yesterdays session and the
country at large really wanted to hear
was something about the issues that
will come UP at Versailles, and par
ticularly what position the President
will take there with regard to them.
But he added nothing new on this sub
ject. Congress and the country must
wait. The Senate, which is part, and
an indispensable part, of the treaty
making power Of the government, is
very curious on the subject. but has no
means of gratifying its curiosity.
The Presidents tribute to the Ameri-
can soldiers and sailors, and, indeed,
to all in whatever capacity who con-
tributed to the success Of the war. was
expressed in his best manner, and was
the one feature of the message which
drew forth the unanimous approval Of
his audience. The applause was gen
erous, and the speaker had every as
surance that, in that matter, he had
touched the hearts of all his auditors.
Evening star., 1918-12-03

with poor success in some casesEwhere-
as only a certain percentage Of the
|popuiatiSn before their advent used
| the cars daily. # in consideration Of
this fact the percentage Of possible in
esesss Of population is reduced to one
half Of that Of increase of car fares,
or 1858, there would in October, 1918,
have been 46o.S72 people in the Dis
ItIict, an increase Of 65375. Y
In any case, whether the lower fig
dre just suggested OF the higher COM
puted by the Commissioners, the popu-
lation of the District in October last
was far beyond the facilities of the
city for proper accommodation It is
undeniable that much discomfort, even
distress, was suffered by those who
came here in obedience to the call of
the government for aid. There can be
no dispute that there was some ex-
cessive price charging beyond even the
abnormal advance in the cost of ly-
ing, which affected everybody alike.
But that there was more of this "prof-
iteering" here than was practiced in
other cities, especially where the popu-
lation had suddenly increased in con-
sequence Of the establishment of war
Industries and military camps, cannot
be maintained. In point Of fact, care
fal comparison would probably show
that Washingtonians, or rather to
speak more correctly, few individual
Washingtonians, "profiteered" at the
expense of the newcomers less fragrant
ly than the members of other commu-
mites affected by war congestion.
In all likelihood Washington will
never return to its old figure and nor
NAL rate of increase. A large per-
centage Of the expanded government
force will remain here. It is now in
order, therefore, to move for such per-
manent improvements and such larger
municipal equipment as the immediate
and prospective increase Of population
requires. To postpone such works is to
invite disaster.
