The Victory Loan.

The terms and amount of the victory
loan have been announced. The terms
are perfectly satisfactory and the
amount is not as large by one and one
half billion dollars as it was thought
it would be. Part of the loan at AZ
per cent, partly tax-exempt, and part
of the loan at 3N per cent, wholly tax
exempt, each class of bonds, or notes,
convertible into the other, will be sat
isfactory to all classes of patriotic in
vestors. The maturity term of four
years, with the right Of redemption by
the government in three years, makes
for stabilization of all the liberty loan
issues. Men wanting relatively quick
turnover Of funds find it in the forth
coming note issue; those looking for
lonR-term investment find it in the out
standing bond issues.
The nature of the victory loan hav-
ing been announced, it is now the part
Of the people to put it over. This, Of
course, will be done. The honor of the
government must be maintained and
every American worthy of that inspir-
ing name will help maintain it.

The D. A. r.

Once again the National Society, D.
A. R., meets in Washington to discuss
affairs that are interesting not only to
thousa 1ds Of members, but to a con-
siderable part of the public not priv
ileged to be enrolled in this society Of
patriotic and public-spirited women.
The sessions of the D. A. R. always
afford enlightenment and occasionally
some excitement. Significant of the
growth Of the society is the fact that
complaint is already made that its rela-
lively new and absolutely beautiful
memorial hall is too small for the ac-
commodation of the delegates to the
congress. It is because Of this fact
that the congress will vote on a pro-
posed amendment to the constitution
of the society which would increase the
number Of members required to form
new chapter in a jurisdiction where
one or more chapters already exist. 1t
is reported that lively opposition is de-
veloping to the amendment on the
ground that it would hamper the
growth of the society and the forma-
ton Of new chapters. But that such
discussion arises shows that the D. A.
R. is a growing society.

moro value to the city than one that
requires ten minutes to get into action.
Much as We may regret tho passing
Of the splendid horses that respond SO
gallantly to the sound Of the alarm
and pull the apparatus to the scene
of the fire with such eagerness, the
more prosaic motor engine Is the type
Of the period. It may be both motor
and pump. 1t is always in readiness.
1t does not "eat its head off" while
waiting for the alarm to ring. And
it makes time, which is precious when
the flames are starting on their de-
structive work.
Washington has always hoped to Sc
cure a model fire department. 1t has
for many years had most efficient
personnel. Now it has the wo-platoon
system, putting it in line with pro-
gressive communities. The next step
is to motorize it throughout, with
enough companies to insure complete
protection for every part of the Dis
trict. This matter should be pressed
vigorously upon Congress at the new
session, to the end Of bringing the de-
partment up to date at the earliest pos
sible time.

turned into a useful object. He has
also gained in sympathy for the birds,
and may be led to study bird habits
and to entertain high regard for the
songstefs.
A birdhouse, however we'll or poorly
built, is a far better achievement than
a collection of birds eggs, however
rare. Countless birds have been de-
stroyed by nesting" to add to these
pitiful collections. Incalculablc Gam
age has been done to crops by the
loss of these insect enemies.
Washington should have a birdhouse
contest The Audubon Society of this
city may perhaps start it. Doubtless
citizens will offer prizes. This city
should entertain birds of every species
native to this climate. The park spaces
afford plenty of room for them. All
of the back yards should have their
birdhouses What if the sparrows
usurp them7 Even the sparrows, nui
sances as they may become in some
circumstances, have right to live.
Let Washington join in the bl1d-
house procession! The youngsters of
this city are just as competent car
penters as those of Trenton, where
hundreds of boys entered a contest and
produced 1900 houses.

Hospitals for Soldiers.

Great military hospitals for the care
and treatment of former soldiers and
sailors of the United States in the war
against Germany are coming into ex-
istence and more will be constructed.
Congress provided $9,OOo,OOO to be used
by the public health service in the pur-
chase, lease and construction of hos
pitals for disabled soldiers, and one
of the items of the law was $3.50, 900
for the erection of a hospital in the
District of Columbia on government
owned land. The hospital to be built
in the capital Of the nation should be
as splendid and as efficient as money
and intelligence can make it. 1t ought
not to be the best in the land, because
in this matter there should be no best
Each of these hospitals should touch
the highest point of excellence.

Improving the Covenant.

The changes made in the covenant of
the league of nations are all in the
right direction. The specific disclaimer
of invalidation of the Monroe doctrine
as regional understanding for secur-
ing the maintenance of peace" is in
geniously worded For the first time
the world will recognize formally the
Monroe doctrine, in which we announce
certain universal prohibitions, and, for
the maintenance of peace, in effect
threaten war if they are violated. The
world union is not to be indissoluble.
A nation may secede on two years no.
tice or may drop out automatically, if
it wishes, on non-assent to any amend
ment of the covenant. Domestic con-
Germs, presumably including control of
immigration. are not to be affected.
In addition to laying broad founda
tions for Cancellation and semi-com'
pulsory arbitration as substitutes for
future war the league is put to use in
smoothing away friction and contro-
versy in the settlements of the present
war. For example, disablement of Ger
many is prime factor in assurance of
enduring peace. But the spirit of the
fourteen points is against territorial
annexations. The league of nations,
through its mandatory clause, becomes
the medium through which Germany
may be deprived of all its colonies
without incurring the reproaeh of an
ne1ing conquered German territory to
any other nation in particular. The
league may perform similar function
in clashes between the principle of
self and the principle of
self-protection or national self-preser
vation, for example at Dantzig and at
Fiume.
The Star has recognized victors'
league Of nations, continuing for
time the present alliance. as inevitable
and desirable, and a worlds league to
enforce future peace by universal
agreement as possible, but not desir-
able under the original constitution or
covenant.
The Star said: Somewhere between
the two extremes-at one of which
Uncle Sam is a 'quitter' and at the
other a 'sucker-lies the point where
the minimum Of sacrifice of national
sovereignty and of subordination of
the spirit Of nationality will develop
maximum Of effective war-prevention
and peace-promotion. On this point
our ideal peace league should be erect
ed. To discover and agree upon this
vantage point is today's vital problem"
The changes in the constitution of
the league of nations indicate that the
league is approaching more nearly to
the vantage point Of safe and sane
international structure. When the full
text Of the covenant comes, analysis
Of it will disclose whether that vantage
point has been reached.

War Tourists.

1t was common observation that a
considerable part of Washington's war
time population was not war work
population. Thousands of people were
here who were not permanent resi-
dents of the city nor temporary en-
ployes of the government. They had
no more interest in the war than
Americans elsewhere and everywhere.
They were attracted here by the fact

Book Beer Signs.

One of the signs of spring familiar
to Washington people in other years,
but missing now, is the book beer sign,
consisting principally of goat and a
keg. Though this sign has passed from
public view the seasons keep on chang
ing just the same. Winter passes and
spring comes, even though the book
beer signs have gone. Many people
once believed that the change from
winter to spring depended on the book
beer sign. There was a belief more
or less popular that Miss Spring would
not come with her blossoms, bright
skies. genial airs and sunny days till
the book beer sign had been hung out.
