Full Light on War Activities.

"One story's good until another's told
The old saw has application now, not,
to throw discredit on any story told in
connection with war activities, but to
suggest the advisability of suspension
of judgment until both sides to the ex-
listing controversy have been heard
through those competent and authorized
to speak.
Senator Chamberlain's story has ur-
doubtedly made a profound impression.
1t was well told-told without rhetoric
livered for the thoughtful. 1t reached
the spot Its merit was and is, SINGER
ity, simplicity and dircctness. The
speaker convinced his hearers that he
meant what he said. and his hearers
knew that he had many sources of in
formation. His speech contained a great
deal that the public had not heard and
that shocked the public in the recital.
Secretary Baker will reply. The re-
ply will lack the impressive staging of
the attack, but will not lack for atten-
tion. And it will reach as many read
ers as the attack. The whole country is
at attention. Very naturally, everybody
wants to know everything possible. of
revea!nent on a subject of such init
mate and pressing moment. And, of
course, the Secretary of War will, as
Senator Chamberlain did, speak with au-
thority and from large information.
In this way, and from these two
sources alone, the public will soon have
much of value upon which to base an
opinion. But the public will not be con-
fined to these two sources. Informa-
tion is coming from other sources. So
much is at stake, and so eager is curl
osity. the facts are being eoaxed out
from many sources.
Let the public have all the faets-all
necessary to the passing of just judg-
ment on the record Ours is popular
government. What the people say
"goes," And in this matter the people
Will, and should, have their say. They
are unreasonable only when kept in the
dark. Time and time again in great
emergencies they have shown both poise
and courage when acting in the light
Senator Chamberlain told the Senate
that his sole purpose was to let in the
light. Such also, we may assume, will
be the purpose of Secretary Baker when
he takes the witness stand Monday.
For the moment, there is no other
topic half SO interesting. 1t has the
right of way in Congress, in the press
and is receiving attention in the pulpit.

The Church Closing Order.

It has developed that the local fuel
administration had not in fact effected
an agreement with the District churches
for the closing of the places of worship
here for three Sundays as a means of
saving coal. The announcement that
two-thirds of the churches were to be
closed for that period took most clergy
men and their congregations wholly by
surprise, and their protests against the
sweeping nature of the order and lack of
sufficient time to work out an adjust
ment are quite reasonable. Although they
have, patriotically undertaken to comply
with the order in spirit of co-opera-
tion with the administration the neces-
sity for the closing has not been demon
strated. 1t is doubtful whether there
viii be any material saving of coal for
use by the public, inasmueh as most of
the churches have their coal already
stored and have been economizing to
make these supplies last through the
winter. The complaint that discrimina-
tion was shown by closing the churches
on the day Of the week on which they are
of the greatest service, while the thea
ters are allowed to continue on that day
and only closed on one of their seven
days of possible operation, cannot fail
to impress the public strongly as worthy
OF consideration for adjustment. An
order which closas the Sunday schools
and keeps open the schools on other
days of the week may we'll be reconsid-
cred. Radical modification of the order
to prevent the manifest incongruities
should be taken under immediate ad-
visement.

But how to insure its continuation is =
question. Mr.. Taft would have it con-

resents a league, formed with that OBJ
ject in view.
Mr.. Taft will address men now train
ing for war. They are young. and with
out much experience Of any kind. They
were summoned to camp life from va
riety of occupations. They are at the
inquiring age. They will listen with
entire respect to speaker of Mr.. Taft's
distinction, and profit from the atten-
ton they give him. For, whether he
convinces them of his own views or not.
he will set them to thinking about one
of the greatest problems growing out
of the war. and which those who survive
the war will be called upon in one way
or another to help solve.
Keeping the peace after the present
world strife is over will be no light task.
Nations have been lashed into rage.
Bitternesses have been engendered
everywhere. For years. statesmen every
where will have to be on guard against
a renewal of strife. Incorporate Ian
guagc or an incautious move might start
the flame afresh The soldiers in the
making are busy men. with their stern
tasks lightcned and frightened by en-
tertairments arranged especially for
their benefit. But the topic Mr.. Taft
will introduce should be welcome, and
serve good purpose.

The Efectual Optimist.

l met a real optimist-
He made me laugh with glee,
AS I forgot a lengthy list
OF things that fretted me.
He did not utter phrases pat
To soothe my sense of dread.
This fellow was an acrobat
And stood upon his head.
He did not strive with logic skill
To drive my sorrows hence,
Nor waken responsive thrill
With genial eloquence.
He did not drive away dull care
By anything. he said.
He waved his ankles in the air

pRAND WHITLOCK is
- writing the story OF
the sack Of Belgium.
As our Minister and as
Director of the American
Relief, he was eye witness
to that cruel and stupend-
Gus crime.
Brand Whitlock is able,
forceful, a trained observer
"a rarely gifted writer. He
starts like a thoroughbred,
tense with reserve power.
With hardly a hint of
tragedy he begins by show
ing us little Belgium as he
found it, happy simple
kind-hearted.
And yet as the story
grows, the sense of what is
impending grips one by the
throat.
Without these opening
chapters no reader will
fully realize the pathos,
theexquisite literary charm,
or the contrast of his crash
ing climaxes.
Those with appreciation
will recognize that the
tragedy has wrought upon
him until the result is such
literature as may never
again come out of the War,
such history as America
must know to stand united.
