There are such things as wounds
that do not bleed, scars that do not
show. There are cases of fever in the
trenches OF business, and sheiishock
where no real shells have burst.
Let us try to calm our own nerves
as much as we can and remember
that the nerves of the other fellow
have been against the emery wheel.
Let's get back into the amiable habit
of tearing up the impulsive letter and
rewriting the brusQue telegram. Let's
call things by gentler names.
A little less haste in our decisions,
little less of the court-martial in
our judgments, little less do-or-die,
a little more do-and-live. The world
has been made a safe place to live in.
Let's act as If we felt safe.

SANDPAPERED NERVES

Batten's Wedge" says: There has
been a war. The effort put forth by
our people has been greater than any
single word can describe.
The country has borrowed several
times as much money as there is in
the country There is not an office,
shop, factory or store that has not
been pulled and hauled about. Men
have gone from their desks and other
men have taken their places. The
personnel of customers has changed.
Old standards are shot to pieces.
Prices have gone everywhere. Costs,
policies, methods have been changed
and rechanged, and with all this we
have bravely kept up pretense that
nothing much has really happened.
But we are nervous. We are still
worked up. The national pulse IL
higher. A scientist has said that the
very secretions of our bodies are diff
ferent, when we are at war.
For four years the music we have
heard has been war music. The talk
we have heard has been war talk
The news we have read has been bat
tie news.
Go to the library and get a newspa-
per or a magazine Of 1913 and try 10
read it and you can't. It's tempo Is
too slow.
A manufacturer oversold a Few
months ago is piling stock today. An
other who could not produce during
the fighting days finds the bars down
on raw materials, and he is running
his factory night and day
Is it any wonder people are jumpy
and irritable? Since the day last NO
vember when the armistice was signed
it is safe to say that more petulant
letters have been written, more i'm
patient kilograms filed, than in the
entire decade from 1904 to 1914.

gives the allies the power to crush
or restore Germany The fiexibility
Of the penal conditions is such that
they can be made drastic or liberal.
The policy of the peace commission
was to leave the way open for either
punishment or encouragement II
Germany showed the right spirit, the
terms could be relaxed. II she showed
a spirit of resistance and evasion they
could be made harder. This was one
reason for leaving the amount of the
indemnity to the judgment of the COM
mission created to fix it.
Germany is making O. bad begin
ming. No opportunity to show the
real character of the people is al
lowed to pass. Defiance and false
hood tinge every action. Even the
signing of the treaty is recognized
by the world as nothing more than
making a record for posterity. The
binding force of the act will be dis
regarded the day after it is done, if
the opportunity is offered Germany
cannot be trusted after the signing
any more than she could be trusted
before. She violated the armistice
terms and will violate the peace
terms. But in the end she will pay
the penalty for each violation. The
burdens will be made heavier and
she will be shut out from participa-
tion in world affairs as a nation until
she changes her moral policy.

SPEAKERS FIGHT BoLsHEvIKI

Fighting fire with fire" is the best
descriptive phrase for the National
Security Leagues latest effort in it's
nationwide campaign Of American
ization to counteract the growing in
fuence in this country of bolshevism
anarchy, and radical socialism. Ac-
cording to an announcement by the
league recently, it is rapidly cOmplet-
ing the organization throughout the
county of squads of trained patriotic
speakers who will operate from the
street-corner soap box, the favorite
and time-honored weapon of disOr-
ganizers and destructionists. These
squads of speakers to combat boil
shevism with Americanism will be
called Flying Squadrons" and will be
modelled after the organization OF that
name created by the Security League
in this city last year.
This method of getting patriotic
doctrine close to the people was used
with great success by the Security
League in New York city last summer.
The leagues Flying Squadron" of
open-air street-corner takers in this
city now numbers nearly 700 men and
women. They are divided into squads
which are nightly challenging the boil
sheviki on their own ground with pro-
American arguments. The principal
vantage points from which they oper-
ate are in the heart of the foreign
born sections of the city, but meetings
are also frequently held on street cor
ners in other thickly populated quar-
ters.

A Few Thoughts on the D. c.
Appropriation Bill
Bv EARL GOODWIN.

As the District appropriation bill comes from the Sen
ate Committee there are four main features which charac
erize the work of the committee in the upper house
These ~ The annual retention OF the haf-and-
half plan of appropriation for the National Capitals ~
the failure of the committee to provide enough money to
insure the continuity of public education at the Capal OF
the Nation; (3) the extension of the Federal employees
compensation act to include employees of the District OF
Columbia; az granting to the District government the
right to collect and dispose of the refuse and ashes Of the
city.
Of these four the two which have the greatest appeal
at this moment the school teachers and the other
employees of the District of Columbia. On one hand the
Senate refuses in rather misery manner to pay sehoo
teachers enough to live and the other hand gen
erOusy (but tary recognizes the great principle that
the employees should be compensated for disability incur
red in the line of duty This advance the part OF
the Senate which augurs better things for the teachers
EVENTUALLY but in the language of the electric sign
board, "Why not now?"
The Senate in retaining the half-andhalf feature,
throws water the fireworks which enven the House de-
bates District matters; these fireworks, am firmly
convinced being set off almost entirely for the benefit
of the constituents of members VINO make political capital
out of their abuse of the District of Columbia. And
would take this occasion to rterate that the most mpor
ant thing Congress do is to establish forever beyond
power of recall definite busnesske plan of handling the
Districts appropriations At present living under
alleged halfandhaf plan; pay heavy taxes but
Congress will not spend this money the way We the tax
payers want it spent And having NO representation las
in barbarous and antquated monarches simply have
to sit still and bear it.
On the fourth point that of municipal collection of
refuse all have to say is that the mention of the
ash likely to storms of rage within the breast
of the Washington househOderbut the system is
NOT to blame The trouble lies with the war; the scarcity
of labor the fact that can't appropriate money
