Germany and Bolshevism.


g Some dependency is felt over the
peace situation in Europe. There is
a fear that the treaty itself may not
. be shaped in season to check the de-
velopment of anarchy in the eastern
states. There is also a fear that the
Germans may not sign such treaty as
seems now likely to be framed, max
ing provision for territorial separa-
. tons and heavy indemnities. Refusal
TO sign would, of course, mean renewal
of the war. Are the allied countries
in q position to renew the conflict and
continue the sacrifices and losses incl
dent to general campaign
. 1t has been felt confidently until
very recently that the Germans would
sign any treaty that might be pre-
pared, after some measure Of protest
and some delay. But the development
of bolshevism in Hungary has, it would
seem, encouraged spirit of defiance
: in Germany. Whether or not there is
q secret understanding between those
now at the head of affairs in Germany
and the bolshevist government of
Russia, there would appear to be a
: eeincident development Of the bolshe
vik movement in the south and an
. attitude of defiance in Germany that
may have relationship.
The point of chief anxiety today is
whether the war-weary countries which
formed the great alliance that with
the aid Of the United States beat the
armies of Germany, Austria, Bulgaria
and Turkey will or can effectively re-
establish their military organizations
in case it becomes necessary to enforce
the terms of peace against a recall
.eitrant Germany. To doubt this Sc
riously is to suggest the belief that
England, France and Italy are no
longer concerned, that the people of
those countries are Indifferent to the
menace Of bolshevism, that they are
perhaps themselves tainted by that
perniei0us influence.
- That there is peril in the situation
cannot be doubted But HAT it ID as
grave as some who are writing from
Psris suggest is not to be credited.
It is beyond conception that the coun-
tries of the great alliance, including
the United States, should be disposed
70 lapse now into sloth, deaf to the
danger, forgetful Of the horrors of
German aggression, unmindful Of the
peril to civilization involved in boil
ahevism and revived Germanistn.
Refusal by Germany to sign the
treaty, of course, means war. That
Germany may rely upon the soviet
ruled Russia and an immense force of
Russian soldiers in the defiance now
voiced by German spokesmen is con-
eeivable. Between bolshevist in
Aueneed or controlled Germany and
treaty of justice, restitution and in
.demnity, those controlling that land
may be willing to take chance with
the former. Yet the end cannot be
questioned. Civilization is not going
TO collapse. It is not going to be over
thrown in the hour of victory and ad-
.justment. @
The men who fought Germany
through four and a quarter years
including those who fought her for
year and q half-are not going to
sueeumb now to selfshness and shrink
from the completion Of the work if
Germany refuses to submit to the
terms of peace. The war was won by
greatness Of spirit. It will not now
be lost through poltfoonery.

One of our most useful and esteem
ed citizens was out automobile riding
the night OF the big wind last week.
There was certain zest about lit
tie automobile ride. that night. The
wind blew along at a forty-hve-mile
clip, completely outdistancing auto
mobiles which piked along at thirty
five miles an hour.
Scores of hats had been blown of
scores of heads that afternoon. and
this man wasn't going to take any
chance with his head-piece. So he
held it en- tightly. But he forgot
about his glasses. Who would have
thought that the wind would come
along and deftly lift his nose glasses
from off the bridge of his proboscis?
But that was just exactly what the
wind did. And the wind removed
them SO very deftly, indeed, that 1T
was not until the man started to read,
later, that he discovered their loss.
Some wind!
Spring is here.
The windstorm and the following
low temperatures seemed to set
spring back considerably, but that
was only seeming. Spring is definite
ly here. and, despite various setbacks,
will soon demonstrate that fact to
Washington beyond all doubt.
In the meantime various indica-
tions of spring may be seen. First
and foremost, comes the small boy,
spinning tops. Tops have ever been
an infallible sign OF the happy season.
When you see a small boy with
top, you can be sure spring is not
far away. You may point to the
thermometer, and turn to the alma
nae. but the youngster knows better
than thermometer and almanac.
Spring. has some unseen clutch on
all tops, SO that it is practically i'm
possible for a top to appear on the
street without springs permission.
So convinced are the really weather
wise of this. that they would sooner
put trust in a small boy and his top
than in the weather bureau:
Then take that double hedge OF
priyet which runs along the yard of
a certain house on H street across
from Lafayette Square. 1t is show
ing up fresh and green these days.
Have YOU seen it? If. not, take a
look the next time you pass along on
the Mount Pleasant or Georgetown
cars, and notice that one side of the
hedge is light green and the other
half Is dark green. One side is the
European privet and the other side is
the Asiatic. The contrasting greens
are vivid farbinger of spring.
But, If these indications are not
enough for you, go out to the Zoo,
that wonderful place on the north
west corner of our town. and ask the
animals. Ask the sun dial that sits
in front of the lion house. Il meas

NEW YORK. Aug. IA In an in
vestigation conducted by the munic-
ipal health department it is found
that high prices rob babies, children
and adults Of needed foods and re-
tard recovery from illness.
The investigation was conducted by
the nurses of the bureau of prevent
able diseases and 2.0S4 families were
studied.
Special attention was given to the
influence of the high cost of living
on the children's eletary. In 293
families the use of bottled milk was
given UP. In 206 other families milk
was entirely eliminated from the chill
dren's dietary, and in II the amount
used for children was considerably
reduced:
In $40 families the use of butter
was eliminated for children; in 191
families the amount used was re-
duced.
Sugar was omitted from the chill
dren's diet in II families and reduced
in 139 families. The use of meat in
the diet of children was given up in
~ = AeAAAAAACo S1uu IcuuCeO III 200.
Eggs were entirely eliminated from
the diet Of children in 532 families
and reduced in 1O7.
In S07 families meat was entirely
eliminated. In 388 families the
amount of meat purchased was ap-
preciably reduced. In 882 families
eggs were eliminated and in 615 fam
lilies butted was eliminated.
In studying the convalescence from
illness teh nurses found that 2S7 cases
out of 2,1S3 were definitely retarded,
due to inability to obtain essentials of
life. Among; the adults the total
amount of wages lost, in this pro-
tracted period, was $41,395.
1T may be amazing to many" it is
stated, "that of these families, repre-
senting fairly cross section of con-
ditions in New York city, 21 per cent
should have a total income of $500 a
year or less for the support of an
average family of five persons during
the beginning of 1913. An additional
30.5 had a. total income Of from $500
to 5000 a year, and about FL per cent
an income Of from 5000 to- $1,000 a
