The Republicans and Preparedness.

s.s.It is suggested thar II Congress IS
called to meet in extra session June /,
only two weeks will be available for
work on the delayed supply bills be
fore the close of the fiscal year; that
q fortnight at least will be necessary
to get the organization under way
The republicans should be ready to
start upon the instant. They have
made their nom nation for Speaker of
the House, and are making rapid
progress with the committees. In the
Senate their task is simpler. and should
be easily executed. Thus day or
two It most shonld9 suffice to set every
thing in both houses in order for a
prompt beginning.
The republicans could do nothing
better than this to recommend chem
selves 10 the eouasrg. Taey are com
ing into contrel OF Capitol Hill with
. well recognized capaaity for affairs
Their record in that particular is good.
In office they have shown constructive
ability-a readiness TO take hold and
carry on.
They will assume when Congress
meets very heavy burden. 1t would
have been heavy if nothing had been
added by the delnquencfes of the
Sixty-ffth Congress. If that body had
cleared its table, the table of the new
body would still have been piled high
with business The war has so multi
piled measures, good deal of legis-
lation Will be necessary.
But here is leftover business which
must take precedence. Money for the
support of the government must be
supplied; and large amount is neees-
sary.
The whole of Jane-d that month is
selected-wiH be short time allow
ance for completing the work left un-
finished on the 4th instant, There is
debate in the Army bill and the Navy
bin, both Of which are Of great inter
est. Notwithstanding the plain les
SONS Of the war, there are still little
armyites and little nayyites. and they
are aggressive in their stands.
There is abundant time-two months
and a half-for all the preparations
necessary. If it is properly employed
conferences held, differences adjust
ed, work informally cut out and a
round survey Of the whole field taken
the majority should be ready when
Congress assemblies to buckle without
delay to its task. and in q huHor to
perform it thoroughly if it takes the
whole of the summer and the fall.

and well informed Legislative source
would have helped him, his party and
the country.
This is the more necessary now be-
cause Legislative control has passed to
the republicans. They are striving to
present themselves III their best legis-
lative form. If they succeed N this,
they will put the democrats to their
trunps. The President will need to
be II his best foru, and to be advised
by the nsost capable aan of his party

The present criticism OF Mr.. Clark
is that he opposes the league of ma
tions as proposed by the President. SO
do many democrats. So do some of
the European statesmen who have con
ferred with the President on the sub
ject. Even Mr. Taft is willing to ae-
cept amendments to the plan the
President has presented; and today
amendments are under discussion in
this country, in London, and in Paris,
with chances highly favorable to
changes in the plan before the peace
conference votes on it. In its present
shape it is but recommendation.

The Anti Clark Movement.

The movement against Champ Clark
Is probably exaggerated. 1t does not
seem nkely to reach serious proper
tions.
There are two reasons why Mr.. Clark
should lead his party in the new House.
The first relates 10 his entire fitness
for and logical claim to the place. He
is an experienced legislator, 8 very
strong debater, and has four times
been Speaker. Would it not be strange
70 see such man serving in a minor
post during the coming two yearsf
Reducing q general to the ranks, and
expecting him to appear in combat at
his bestf The proposition on its face
is anything but persuasive.
IN the second place, the President
will need, more than hitherto, counsel
as to lesixlatien. He has never him
self bssa Q legislator; and there have
been times in the past six years when
that tact has been very patent A

sumed. 1t is difficult to understand
this obduracy Of mind. There seems
to be no conception of the real issues
involved in the late conflict. The
Germans appear to regard the war as a
mere misunderstanding, an "unpleas-
antness," to be forgotten and forgiven
as soon as the shooting stops. They
DO not appreciate the depth of feeling
aga nst them, their institutions, their
very language.

AS Christmas gifts for the disabled
soldiers who still are receiving
treatment at the base hospital at
Camp Dodge, War Mothers - this
city, prepared large shipment Of
Christmas boxes. The boxes contain
ed good things to eat and gifts.

Whales Milk Como. Hiah.

Los Angeles, Dec. 29.-F1ve dollars a
quart-not a cent less--would be the
price asked by Capt. John B. Loop for
whales milk If he establishes a whale
dairy. Captain Loop is considered an
expert on the sea mammals, and just
recently returned from a whale hunt In
Mexican Pacific waters.
Captain Loop has not definitely de-
termined, however to establish a
whale dairy, he merely set the price
he would ask because Arthur de Ell,
Of Omaha, Neb., had sent a request
that sample Of whale milk be re-
served for him. The Omaha man heard
Of Captain Loops knowledge of the
big mammals, and also that small
quantity of the milk was in the
seaman's possession. A sample Of the
milk will be sent de Ell. Loop declared.
Members Of the eElks lodge at Long
Beach were permitted to sample the
milk and declared it to be richer and
more palatable than that from COWS.
s9s Captain Loop never has made public
any. method of catching whale and
Inducing it to stand by" for milking.
