The Commissioners have acted wise
ly in granting a hearing to those citi-
zens who protest against the location
of the refuse disposal plant in the
neighborhood of the Gallaudet College.
At that hearing, to be held Friday, the
objections to this situation for the es-
will no doubt be strongly
stated. To refuse the citizens a chance
to file their protest and to present ar
guments against the selection Of this
inappropriate site for the
plant would have been altogether
unjust. Now the burden of proof
should not be upon the protestants. It
is necessary, to justify the selection
of this site, to advance in behalf Of
the proposition to bring the refuse-dis-
posal plant two miles nearer the CEN
ter of the city some substantial and
convincing reasons which outweigh the
objections that have been raised to
the spoliation Of neighborhood that
has, despite present disadvantages and
handicaps, a bright prospect for de-
velopment.

assured as that year will follow year.
Such rapid strides have been made
toward it during the past five years
that further delay can on.y serve to
intensity the demand. The country
is impatient for this tardy act of JUS
tice. And so fixed is the national be-
lief in the equity and necessity for
this measure that chagrin is felt that
owing to delays in Congress the amend
ment, if adopted at the present ses-
sion, cannot receive ratification by the
necessary three-fourths of the states
in season for the coming presidential
election, unless special legislative ses-
sions are called in those states where
meetings are held only in the odd
numbered years.

The Message.

Necessarily, it is in general terms.
Written at a distance, and in a brief
time snatched from other topics, it
could not convey satisfactory details.
For full six months-and all but a
few weeks spent abroad-the Presi-
dent has had world matters in hand.
Hence, probably, his failure to ven
ture in the main beyond generalities.
Later, after his return and he has had
opportunity to Hook over the ground,
he may, by messages or otherwise, fill
out what he has now but sketched.
He submits no plan for returning
the railroads or the wires to their own
ers. He had no railroad policy last
winter, and probably has none now.
He wants capital and labor drawn to-
gether in full and friendly accord, but
gives no opinion as to just how Con-
gress may aid in accomplishing what
all desire. He wants foreign trade
stimulated, but does not say whether
the merchant marine should be pub
licly or privately owned, or whether,
if privately owned and operated, it
should receive any assistance from the
government.
The recommendation as to beers and
wines is clear and explicit, and certain
to arouse a warm controversy. In fact,
controversy has Immediately begun,
and is raging outside as we'll as inside
political circles. The General Assembly
of the Presbyterian Church in session
at st. Louis instantly protested it yes
terday.
The reference to the tariff is the
most interesting feature Of the de-
liverance. In asking protection for in
FAINT American industries against for
eign competition, the President, rated
hitherto as almost a free trader, JUS
titles the whole American policy. Pro-
lection was originally established to
build US up, and has served the pur-
pose so well, America, through the aid
of protection, has attained q high
place among the producing nations.
And not only should our latest indus
tries be protected, as the President
recommends, but earlier ones, which
still need a shield against what, with
out it, would be ruinous competition.
In declaring that the present is not
the proper time for general tariff re-
vision the President, in effect, serves
notice of q veto in case Congress sends
him such a measure. If no such meas
ure is passed, or if one is passed and
vetoed, the tariff will become a very
prominent, and may become the para
mount, issue next year. Business is
looking to readjustments as soon as
possible; and many readjustments de-
pend upon tariff revision.

Pass the Quota Quickly.

Up to date the Districts subscrip-
tions to the Salvation Army fund have
been tagging, and it is necessary to
speed up if the capital is to 60 over
the top in this as it has in all other
wartime fund drives. The local quota
is 100000, Of which nine-tenths will
be spent right here. Yet with three
days gone the total is much less than
$4,000.
The Salvation Army mas assuredly
won the confidence Of the country in
respect to its war work. Its services
in France were invaluable. Its work
in the camps in this country was most
helpful. 1t "made good" with the SOL
diers and all their friends, and now
it is asking for fund for home serv-
ice that will absolve it from the neces-
sity of continually passing the hat"
to pay current expenses. Every penny
of this amount should be given quick
ly and eagerly.
There can be no doubt that Wash
ington will subscribe its quota by Sat-

German Unrepentance.

Replying to a German note regard
ing the question of PREPARATIONS the al
lied council of four denotes the i'm
possibility of dissociating responsible
ity for the war from reparation, and
refuses to admit that the German peo-
pie may disclaim responsibility for
the actions of the former German gov
eminent.
The whole proceeding at Paris is
based upon the principle that Germany
started the war without justification.
1t is impossible, as the council Of four
declares, to differentiate between the
Germany of today and the Germany
of five years ago. Save for q change
of form the organization remains as
it was. The people are the same in
spirit. They have certainly since the
armistice was signed manifested no
repentance for the crime of 1914, no
regret save q selfish one for the un-
justifable attack Germany made upon
Belgium and France, no spirit what
ever Of contrition. In the contrary, they
have displayed a stubbornness that
is characteristic, refusing to admit re-
sponsibility, refusing even to admit
defeat. Their attitude at Paris through
their delegated representatives has
been an affront to the allied peoples.
No treaty of peace can remake peo-
pie, or can change their essential char
acteristics. The document that will
eventually be signed at Paris-unless
the Germans prefer to renew the war
and invoke further disasters and
harsher terms-though based upon the
principle that Germany started the
war and should pay its costs in terms
of reparation indemnities, will prob
ably not convert the people east Of the
Rhine to remorse or shame. But tnat
fact does not justify any remission
Of terms or any modification of ex-
actions. Penalties must be imposed
upon those who break the law and are
convicted, even though they stand I'M
repentant in the dock upon receiving
sentence.

HaWker and Grieve.

Hope falters in the hearts of those
who, in every land linked with the
intelligence of the day, have been
waiting for word as to the fate of
Harry Hawker, pioneer of the non
stop aerial transatlantic effort, and OF
his navigator, Lieut.. Commander
Mackenzie Grieve. Seventy-two hours
have elapsed since the Sopwith biplane
took the air at st. Johns, dropped its
landing gear and drove at terrific
speed into the east. Twenty hours was
the estimated time required for the
flight if success was to reward the dar-
ing effort. There is small hope that
Hawker and his companion could sur
vive forty-two hours in ,ne open sea
with the equipment at their disposal.
There are those who are given to re-
gard the effort of the Australian and
Englishman as piece of pure dare
devil madness. The Anglo-Saxon love
of sport most surely played its part,
but there was more than this. AS a
scientific achievement Hawker's effort
if successful would have brought to
his country distinction she would
have cherished through all time. His
tory is replete with the hazards joy
ously undertaken by men for the
glory of their countries. No more gal.
liant gentlemen ever sought to place
their national flag in the forefront OF
scientific achievement than Hawker
and Grieve.
Recognizing their chances, they were
prepared to do their best. Even should
the story of their effort never be told
the heroism Of their purpose will be
as great a glory to the countries they
honored as would its full achievement.

Washingtonians to the number of
1872, 159 subscribed for a total of $685.

ton brought the Districts bond pur-
chases in the Ave loans to $l47, 1874 200.
In every loan the District exceeded its
quota In the fourth loan it led the
country. 1t established a record of
which every Washingtonian has reason
TO be proud. 1t has laid foundation
Of thrift in these bond purchases ag-
gregating nearly $150,0OO,0 900 that will
servo it in good stead in coming years.

Still BluMng.

From Berlin this morning comes an
announcement by the authority of the
German cabinet that the peace treaty
will not be signed. This must for the
present be taken to mean that tomor-
row on the expiration Of the time limit
the German delegates at Versailles will
return reply declining to sign the
treaty as drawn, submitting at the
same time counter proposals and sug-
gestions for changes.
It is not to be concluded from the
latest announcement from Berlin that
Germany will finally and definitely de-
cline to sign the treaty, thereby auto
matically renewing the war with all it's
horrors and with the certainty of COM
plete German defeat. The present
maneuvers Of the Berlin government
are designed obviously to create some
degree of sympathy for Germany in
neutral minds and possibly to evoke
changes in the terms. Intimation is
given in the Paris dispatches that
there may, indeed, be some changes in
the treaty, but that there will be no
departure from the broad principles.
In its essence the treaty as present
ed to the Germans week before last
will stand as the final proposal Of the
allies, and there is every reason to be-
lieve that it will be signed by the Ger
mans despite the repeated declarations
from Berlin that it will not be signed.
