Income and Outlay.

When Congress meets, it will face
two questions Of deep and general and
immediate interest-income and out
lay. The government needs more
money and must spend more than ever
before. The war has raised all fig
ures "out of sight" Uncle Sam, like
the humblest of his children, is strug-
Cling with the high cost of living. But
live he must; and it is for Congress
to provide for his establishment.
The provision should be liberal. It
should not be extravagant. The de-
mand is for economy, not cheeseparing.
There. is never economy in niggardE-
ness. A government the size of ours,
and, as ours now is, leading factor
in world calculations, must be we'll
supported in order that it may keep
its place among the nations and meet
its obligations. Noblesse oblige.
While our needs are much greater
ehan formerly-that is readily grasped
Just how much greater has yet to be
determined. That is a nut Congress
must crack.
Tho work, then, Of the ways and
means committee and that Of the com
mittees having to do with appropria-

tions will make the House when Con-
gress assemblies q very interesting
body. General attention will be at
tracted to what is being done-to what
is proposed in the way Of raising reve-
nue., and what in the way of laying
the money out. The "pocket nerve
as everybody knows, is extremely SEN
sitive; and it has been tingling now
for two years.
With war in progress, there was no
complaint, and next to no calculation
or precaution, about supplies. Money
in abundance was freely voted for all
purposes recommended. As all can now
see, and as many openly confess. some
calculation and precaution would have
been wise.
With the war over, all estimates and
recommendations must undergo the
| most careful scrutiny. Corners must
be cut, though not too sharply. The
signing of blank checks is at an end.
The republican party when in power
has always voted generous supplies
It was in power when this became "a
| billion dollar country; and it boasted
with every right, of the figures. In
the nearly thirty years since that time
the country has advanced greatly and
that party. which is again in power on
Capitol Hill, must take the advance
INTO account.

A Medal Well Bestowed.

This announcement accompanies the
bestowal of the distinguished service
medal on Gen. Leonard Wood:
"He has displayed qualities of lead
ership and professional attainments of
high order in the administration and
training of his various commands. and
has furthered in every way during the
war the system of officers training
schools"
The act and the explanation will be
warmly and generally applauded. Gen.
Wood is held in very high esteem by
both soldiers and civilians. His ac-
tivities during the war were intense,
incessant and inspiring. He did great
deal of work, and did it well. He
wanted to do more, but was denied the
opportunity.
1t is but the truth to say, however,
that his war record, fine as it is, does
not altogether explain Gen. Woods
strong hold on public admiration. That
is referable to his activities prior to
the war, which, as his friends believe,
showed not only the intelligence of a
trained soldier, but the grasp and fore
sight Of a statesman.
The story of our unpreparedness for
war when war came is familiar, dis.
creditable and humiliating. But even
more so is the fact that we had been
in that condition for years, and against
the protests and the warnings of men
familiar with the situation and capable
Of sdvising-in fact, the very men
whose advice should have been taken.
Gen Wood was one of these, and
maybe the most conspicuous one in
uniform. He spoke often and frankly
and informingly on the subject. He
incurred criticism and some ridicule
because of his attitude and the cour-
age with which he stood his ground
The pacifists made target of him, and
seemed to feel that in doing so they
were. rendering their cause the best
possible service.
The war vindicated Gen. Wood, and
all who had held with him in support
of policy for giving the country the
protection it needed. The one great
nation of the western hemisphere, and
one of the greatest in the world, was
swept into worldwide struggle in a
state Of appalling unpreparedness. We
had only the skeleton Of an army, and
the skeleton not adequately equipped.
Great haste, with the attendant great
waste, resulted, and for months, when
every day was valuable, everything
was clogged and in confusion.

German Justice.

An illustration of the kind Of ajus.
tice" that would be administered to
those charged with responsibility for
the atrocities Of the war by a German
court is afforded in the case of the
commission that has investigated the
execution of Capt. Fryatt, the British
mariner, who was executed by the
Germans. This commission has de-
cided that the shooting Of Fryatt did
not violate international law, express
ing, however, regret at the rapidity
with which the sentence of death was
executed.
There can be little hope that Ger
man tribunal would find guilty any Of
those who have been or who may be
named as chargeable with crime in
the execution Of the German war pro.
gram. Such a court would undoubt.
edly find that Edith Cavell was prop.
erly slain. 1t would probably find
that the sinking of the Lusitania was
while perhaps regrettable, justified by
the presence of munitions and arms
on board, always alleged by the Ger.
mans, though disproved elsewhere
It would doubtless decide that the
bombardment of unfortified cities from
the sea and the air was righteous, in
asmuch as they were enemy places. II
would find that the use Of poison gas

mont Of civilians in occupied terri
Evening star., 1919-04-04

tories, the outraging of women, the
shelling Of hospitals and the sinking
of hospital ships were all allowable
acts Of war.
The case Of Capt. Fryatt was par
ticuiariy abominablc. This man was
commander Of the steamer Brussels,
plying in the North Sea between Brit
ish and neutral ports. In June, 1916,
his steamer WAS captured by German
destroyers and taken to Zeebrugge.
Fryatt was charged with having, If
teen months previously. attempted to
ram a German submarine. He had
been attacked and had saved his ship
and her passengers by skiilful maneu-
vering For this act he had been COM
mended by the British admiralty. The
Germans, however, accused him of
piracy in having, while in command
of a non-combGtant vessel, attempted
an act OF war He was tried at Bruges
and sentenced to death, the sentence
being executed the same day.
The confirmation of Fryatt's SEN
tencc by the bclatcd Berlin court of
inquiry afirms the principle of attack
upon passenger ships without warning
which was the basis Of the German
submarine campaign. According to
the German view, Fryatt should have
yielded tamely to challenge and al
lowed his ship to be sunk, on the first
occasion. Any act Of defense was an
act of piracy. To accede to the Fryatt
sentence is to accept the proposition
that it was right for Germany to loose
its sea tigers to prey upon passenger
ships. The judgment just rendered in
Berlin will not he accepted as final.
