Autumn Leaves.

Russet, gold, red and lingering green
are the colors of the woods, for the
autumn leaves have come again. The
oaks, slow to put on the greenery of
spring, are stubborn in changing the
\ color of their dress and in taking on
the livery of fall, but in most of the
big trees some boughs are trimmed
with red and garnet leaves and brown
| is creeping over many Of the branches
| The chestnut trees have turned from
green to yellow, and some Of the yel-
low has changed to russell. Dogwood
has taken on all the shades of fire
rosy pink, blazing scarlet and the dull
glow Of dark crimson, and the ber-
ries are as red as the berries of the
holly will be later. Many of the beech
trees in the low and moist places cling
to their green leaves, but many have
already turned to bright gold, and
even in the verdant leaves one sees
yellow overspreading the texture of
i the leaf, though the midrib and the
| veins continue green. The old rough
sassafras, according to its autumn
habit, hangs out its mitten- shaped
leaves in three colors. There will be
green leaves, yellow leaves and red
leaves on the same branch. The gums
of the low woodland are showing
foliage that varies from pink and
crimson to puppies that shade almost
into black. The elms and sycamores
have about made up their minds that
green is passing out Of style for them
and are trimming themselves with yel-
low of several shades. Most of the
naples have turned to pale clear yel-
low, but here and there scarlet maple
lights up the woods with bit of
flame. The torches Of the sumac are
blazing gayly. The laurels are as
bright and glistening green as they
were last spring and frosty weather
will bring no change to them. The
tough old pines and cedars seem to
smile at the fashion which compels SO
many trees to change the color Of their
leaves when the days become short
and brisk and the nights long and
cool.

The Roll of Honor.

The "roll Of honor" is at work for the
fourth liberty loan, and these rolls are
destined to mark a substantial increase
in the subscription to the District
quota. The honor rolls are mastering
in hundreds of the business houses of
the Capital, and presumably the same
thing is going on IN every government
office. The "roll of honor" is the Of
fee or firm subscription list, and these
rolls are being signed up in the stores,
shops, Offices and private industrial
plants of the District. When they are
completed they will appreciably swell
the Districts subscription to the
fourth liberty loan.
There must be no relaxation Of eff
fort to meet the District quota. The
time limit draws near and the sum re-
naming to be raised is large one.
The personal appeal. of the President
will be heard and Needed.
The slogan is "dig." Subscribe till
it hurts, and then lop off every extrava-
gance, every unnecessary expense, to
make good the subscription. The Dis
trict can do it and will do it. 1t must
not fail!

which, owing to the successful ad.
vances Of the French army farther
west in the Champagne, the Germans
are swiftly retreating. Though this OBJ.
jective be highly important and un'
doubtedly will make German tenure
along the whole line of the Aisne ex.
tremely problematical, still greater re-
suits are to be achieved by continuing
on to Mezieres and Charleville, which
lie but little more than twenty miles
ahead Of him. The capture or even
domination Of these points will shatter
all such plans as the Germans have
formed to make stand farther to the
west. From here railways and high
ways radiate through the Champagne
to the Laon region, to the northeast
toward Cambria and to the southwest
in the direction of Metz. Should the
Germans have decided to take the gen.
eral line Of Antwerp, Brussels, Char
leroi, Mezieres, Sedan and Metz their
plans must perforce be revised by
Gouraud's successes.
The victories Of the French leader
to the west Of the Meuse, the Ameri-
cans cooperating, will make easier the
clearing up of all positions east Of the
river. And an immediate effect will be
the forced lessening Of resistance
which now is being offered to Gen.
Pershing in his northward drive, op-
position which has been growing hour
ly. If the Germans tarry much longer
they will subject themselves to violent
flank attacks from Gouraud's units.
The French in conjunction with the
attacks in the Champagne, which are
swiftly fQcing the Germans back on
the line of the Aisne, are still ham,
mering positions south and west Of the
Chemin des Danes. The Germans have
sent up their usual signal flare that
they are about to retreat-they are
laying waste the towns in the whole
Laon salient. Their hurried retire
ment is becoming more certain as the
lines of egress are decreased.
Though the Anglo-American advance
between St. Quentin and Cambria has
slowed down for the moment there is
no reason to believe it definitely
checked, as such defenses as the Ger
mans may hastily erect in open coun-
try will not be sufficient to deter the
allies from their purpose of deepening
and spreading their wedge. In the
meantime the British have driven the
Germans over the Sensee canal and the
fall of Douai is an immediate prospect.
Though these moves in the north be
highly important, momentary interest
must be centered ON Gouraud in the
Champagne, for here blows which may
cause the complete disintegration of
Teutonic power are being driven home.

From the New York Sun.
WHY not face the truth and tell the
truth about the tagging pace OF the
fourth liberty loan in this part OF
the country? The cause is not the
endemic Of influenza: it is not peace
talk. The cause is Kitchin's revenue
measure.
From the New York World.
Let it be remembered by all through
out this time that its Showdown on
the loan will be a "show-down for
Germany, either stripping her of the
last hope of anything further to be
gained from a policy Of juggle or CIV
ing new life to the diplomacy OF in
sincerity.

prescriptions to be filed. Trained
nurses cannot be had by hundreds Of
people sick, with influenza and pneu-
monia. Other cities cannot be called
on because they are also suffering for
the need of doctors, druggists and
nurses.
The situation calls for wise and
steady counsel and relief. No doubt
the great number Of physicians of the
medical departments Of the Army and
Navy on duty in Washington are do
ing all that is in their power. No
doubt the pharmacists Of the Army and
Navy in Washington are working full
time. If members Of the medical de-
partments of the Army and Navy are
doing other work than ministering to
the sick, their work might be tempo
rarily made to fit the situation5 and if
all the Army and Navy pharmacists
are not fully employed they might be
set to work in the way most urgently
needed or perhaps detailed to duty
with local pharmacies where the filling
of prescriptions is far behind.
A step has been made in the right
direction by the United States public
health service in establishing four
medical relief stations in four of the
public school buildings Of Washington
and in detailing thirty-six Army ply
sicians and a quota of nurses for duty
at those stations. The medical depart
ment of the Navy has detailed forty
physicians to the public health service
to aid in the work in the District, and
presumably these physicians are going
on duty at the relief stations opened
in the public school buildings-the
Curtis School in Georgetown, the Will
SON Normal School, 14th and Harvard
streets; the Webster School, 10th and
H streets, and the Van Ness School,
4th and NJ streets southeast.

PUTTING OVER THE LOAN.

From the Philadelphia Inquirer.
No matter what the constituted au-
thorities decide in our present inter
course with Germany. your answer to
Prince Max is the immediate purchase
of liberty bond.
From the New York Times.
We greatly fear that the sluggish
response to the liberty loan is caused
by the way in which Congress has de-
layed the tax bill. We fear it is caused
by the uncertainty which taxpayers
feel about the amount they will have
to pay in taxes next spring.
From the Detroit Free Press. ~

POLITICS At HOME
The Next House.


Popular opinion runs in this wise re-
spccting the next House: If the demo-
Gratis control it, Mr.. Clark will preside
over it and Mr.. Kitchin lead it. If
the republicans control, Mr.. Mann will
preside, and Mr.. Gillett or Mr.. Fordney
lead.
These men are all assured Of re-
election. Each is strong at home, as
evidenced by repeated Endorsements.
All five are veteran legislators, and as
such have had to do with a variety Of
public questions-the tariff, the trusts,
the currency, and so on. Their rec
ords are well known to the country at
large. Their present positions in the
House are due to the capacity for
leadership they have shown.
! Here and there, however, a sugges-
ton is thrown out that, when the time
comes, sentiment may not be unani-
nous either as to the democratic or
to the republican slate, whichever
comes up for action; that there are
elements Of opposition which may as
sert themselves.
The opposition in either case would
have considerable to overcome. Mr..
Clark has made a fine record in the
chair, and is much admired on both
sides of the chamber. He had no diff
Guilty in reaching the speakership, and
has had none in holding it. Mr..
Kitchin has Leen criticised Tor his vote
against the declaration Of war, and in
some quarters is under o sharp fire
now for his votes and views on the
war revenue measure. But it would
not be an easy matter to displace him.
When Mr.. Mann was made his party's
candidate for Speaker there was some
objection. But it was not formidable,
and only praise has been bestowed
upon him since for the capacity and
diligence he has exhibited as leader
of the minority. His diligence, in
deed, cost him temporarily his physi-
cal strength, and obliged him to take
a rest.
We may remember, too, that the
next House Will organize with presi-
Dental election approaching, and that
the time will not be propitious in
either party for Starting something"
Factionism will be discouraged. Union
ism will be the cry and the necessity.
As now appears most likely, the cam
paign of 1920 will make it imperative
for both parties to appear in fettle.
The spirit of contest will be in the air,
and minor differences will have to dis
appear.
Evening star., 1918-10-13
Do It Now.

There are two reasons why the war
revenue measure should be disposed Of
at this session of Congress. The first
is that the short session is limited to
three months; and the second is that
the time will be crowded with routine.
Ordinarily, the short session of Con-
gress is devoted to the supply bills.
They carry a good dead Of money, and
are composed of many items. 1t is
never safe to hurry or slight them.
They need to be scrutinized as against
extravagancies and so-called "jokers."
At the coming short session these
bills will carry huge sums, and should
be scrutinized with extra care. De-
bate will inhere in them, and they will
be debated. The constitutional allow
ance of time to the session, therefore.
is certain to prove none too much.
Congress will do we'll to clear the table
satisfactorily within the prescribed
period.
It is often proposed to eliminate the
Christmas holiday, which usually lasts
two weeks, but really deducts three
from the session. For it takes Con-
gress full week after reassembling
to shake down into effective action.
This proposition was made Hast Christ
mas, but rejected. Members could not
resist the lure Of Christmas turkey
served at home.
If brought forward this year, it
might, and should, be accepted. AS the
long session is proving scarcely ade-
quate for the business in hand, the
short one in its full length may hardly
suffice for what will fall to it's lot.
As for the next Congress, it may or
may not be called in extra session.
Much will depend on war develop
ments. If the war continues, and our
part in it increases in size and de-
mands, the necessary legislation could
not very we'll wait until December. But
even if peace comes, an extra session
may be required to deal with the prob
lens that will then arise and press for
congressional action.
' But the pertinent question is the
question of the moment. Congress is
in session. It has in hand measures
far out of the ordinary in size and i'm
portance. Much rests on how they are
disposed Of. They should be neither
unduly hurried nor delayed, but con-
sidered upon their merits, and enacted
into law in shape and in time to meet
fully the government requirements.

The Administration and Jersey.

The winner in the recent Jersey con-
test for the democratic nomination for
United States senator, full term, has
just been declared. There were four
contestants, and three were so closely
punched in the returns, it looked for
a time as if the soldier vote, late in
ccrtifcation, might decide. But it did
not. A decision was reached without
it. The successful aspirant had only
648 votes the better Of his nearest
competitor.
His name is George NJ. La Monte.
He is not so widely known as Gov.
Edge, the republican nominee, but is
we'll vouched for, and has received as
surances Of support, from the men he
defeated in the primary.
The important question is, however,
how much support will he receive from
the national administration This is
being propounded in political circles
in the state, regardless Of party.
The President took no part in the
primary, although an expression by
him would have been greatly valued.
Those who desired word on the sub
ject pointed to the interest he was
showing in senatorial contests in other
states, and modestly suggested that the
home folks, who were in a sort of
travail, ought not to be overlooked.
Nor was Mr.. Tumulty active. At the
outset his own name had been men
toned. But he had promptly vetoed
the suggestion. Had he consented to
stand for the nomination he would, of
course, have had the administrators
backing, and, with it, might have won.
But he preferred his post at the White
House, which was bird in the hand,
to the Jersey campaign for senator,
which was bird in the bush.
The republicans in nominating Gov.
Edge put their best foot foremost. He
has many elements of strength. His
administration of state affairs has been
successful, and he has made a good
war governor. His victory in the
primary was easily won, and no fac
ton complications exist for him.
The democrats are not so fortunate.
Their candidate is not regarded as their
strongest man, and factionism, which
has pestered the party for some years,
still rears its head. If the matter Of
success next month, therefore, is up to
the administration, the test will tax
its powers. Hence the curiosity felt
in the state in both parties as to when
and in what form the administrations
interest will manifest itself.

Gouraud's Vital Blow.

Pressing forward with gathering
momentum the armies Of Gen. Gouraud
are smashing northward from regions
west of the Argonne. Decided changes
ON the whole German left flank are
within immediate prospect, alterations
in the limo which will vitality affect the
whole Teutonic defensive system on
other sections of the western front.
After having encompassed the diff
cult Argonne forest regions bristling
With ingenious Notifications, Gouraud
has smashed northward through Vou-
xisres and his advance is unchecked.
His first objective undoubtedly is to
reach the headwaters Of the River
Aisne, there to bring immediate men
aee to bear upon the chain Of German
dsAmsss alsaS tais Xa*sfwsy and to
