Truly Regal Gifts Are
the Russian and Hudson
BGy S0bLes

And when you buy sables in the Wanamaler
Fur Salons, there is any mistake as to which
kind you buy, for the Hudson Bay sables
plainly marked that, and the Russian sables also.
These pieces would delight any true fur lover, for
they of unusual beauty--the skins of rich color,
and with that perfect blending of browns to be
found in sables, and the furs of that softness which
makes them such delight to wear.
One skin sable scarfs start at $3.50 and go on up
to $5o0-this last price for one single, wondrous
scaf of Russian sable of exquisite color and rare
beauty.
Two and three skin scarfs are quite fashionable
and are $385--a handsome four skin piece
with heads and tails--is $780, and a stunning six
skin piece is $S75.
And loveliest of all is sable cape with many
tails, the skins beautifully blended, $1375.

Co.Operation for Security.

The search for the criminal who, it
is believed, has perpetrated or at
tempted five monstrous crimes in the
outskirts of Washington continues with
undated intensity. Mingled in the
popular clamor for the apprehension
and stern punishment of the perpc-
traitor of the outrages are the voices
of the colored residents of Washington
and Maryland The fact that the
criminal is of their race has aroused
them, through shame in the fact. to
vigorous anger. There is greater
significance in this fact than vim
dication of local confidence in the ap-
probation of civic responsibility on
the part of the colored population.
For there can be no doubt that if
every colored resident of the outraged
neighborhood will report to the au-
thoritieS any clues which might lead
to the capture of the criminal the end
Of justice will be quickly served. Color
plays no part in a case of this kind
in Washington. The fugitive is a
beast, menace to the security of our
women. shame to the manhood of our
men. The cooperation of the local
colored population in the hunt is con-
fident1y expected and will prove of
great value to the authorities.

Army Food to Be Sold Here.

The plan to enable Washingtonians
to purchase carload of surplus Army
food supplies at prices far below the
present market level has been devel-
oped to such an extent that the op-
portunity is now assured. The food
will be here within the week, and will
be stored and placed on sale in the
three markets owned by this District.
The proposition takes on the nature
of an experiment, with the purpose Of
establishing whether there is q sufii-
eient general demand for the COM
modities offered to warrant q broad
adoption of this method of disposing
of the governments surplus food
stock. With millions Of dollars worth
of food in its storehouses, the War
Department is seeking to use it to the
greatest advantage of the nation at
large. Success in the experiment about
to he made will solve the problem.

The Tyrant Custom.

A man makes q bold demonstration,
And says he was born to be free.
In spite of his proud protestation,
He is easy to tame as can be.
When the sun blazes fiercely above in
the sky
And the highway is covered with
dust,
He walks out in July with a collar and
tie
Because somebody says that he must!
All vainly he seeks information
Concerning who makes the decree
That a mortal must meet observation
In garb so pathetic to see.
To leave of suspenders he never would
try;
No garterless hose would he trust.
He walks out in July with swelter-
ing sigh
Because somebody says that he must!

American production, and revive, and

program calls for the appearance of
the American in all markets as sue

The ways and means committee is
preparing to take up the question of

There is no altruism in trade. Every
nation must look out for its own. We

laws of trade. Some of those laws
are immutablc. Others may have been
repealed or amended by the terrible
CONFUSION through which the world
has just passed. We should study the

opportunity offered to reduce Excess
sive subsistence budgets may be taken
for granted, but the War Department
is looking for definite proof. The plan
Of distributing in small quantities to
householders only is wisely conceived
with view toward furnishing the de-
sired proof. The Commissioners and
the War Department are giving Wash
ingtonians the chance to represent ma

German Military Honor.

Hindenburg appeals to Foch to use
his influence to save the eX-kaiser from
trial and offers to place himself at the
disposal of the allies in Hohenzollern's
stead. In his letter the German mar
shall says:
"Thc war. despite the harshness nee
essary in conducting it. has shown by
examples, on both sides, that high
morale. soldier.y thinking and feeling
and high sense of honor common to
all cultured nations are not dead
1t has been repeatedly said of the
German mentality that it is incapable
Of perception of the higher truths.
Often during the war this was demon
strated. 10 more distinct proof of
this fundamental limitation could be
had than this statement by the Ger
man military chieftain.
To put the German concept of mill
tary honor &pon par with that of
France OF England or Italy or the
United States is an afront too grave
to be passed over as an incident of
an overweight mind stressed by the
anguish of humiliatiny peace. If
the deeds of the German soldiery dur
ing the war are IN Hindenburg's mind
in accord with the standards Of "high
morale, soliierly thinking and feeling
and high sense of honor" there is
something terribly wrong with the
whole German moral concept-and it
has not needed this episode to con-
vince the world Of the fact.
We're the sacking and burning of
the Belgian cities Of Louvain, Ter
monde, Alost and many small towns in
accord with this exalted Standard
We're the shootings Of innocent civil
ians and the marching Of women and
children ahead Of military columns as
screens, and the poisoning Of wells, and
the destruction of fruit trees, and the
systematized and wholesale iooting of
dwellings after the fashion of the an
cient ravagers-were these and in
Vulnerable other acts in accord with
this soldierly standard of honori
No one who has witnessed in the
past the swagger of the German off
Ger in a garrison town, or in the CAPT
tai, or anywhere in fact in Germany,
who has seen the insufferabIe super
iority Of his bearing toward all others,
has observed the meticulous demand
for obedience and subservience by
those of rank toward those of lesser
station, can question the sincerity Of
the Hindenburg claim that the Ger
man soldiery has borne itself in the
war with honor and uprightness. 1t is
part of the system.
And the fact that it is sincere, that
the grand marshal of Germany re-
CARDS the conduct of the German army
in the war as honorable, makes it the
more necessary that punishments be
inflicted, from the chief of all down
to those who carried out the policy
that he adopted, the policy Of fright
fulness, which was, if it is not today,
one of the German commandments.

Full Light on the Treaty.

If the covenant has not been openly
arrived at. it is promised that every
step taken with regard to it's ratifica-
ton by the Senate shall be as open as
daylight Let us hope the promise
may be kept.
Something may be said in justifca-
ton of the secrecy observed in Paris
by the conference while the covenant
was on the stocks. The work was of
the most delicate and important char
acter. Those engaged were not clear
in their minds at the outset as to what
could be or should be done. The
league of nations in particular was
giving everybody pause. Several plans
were offered and considered The
President did not press his. The
sponsor for. if not the author of, the
plan accepted is Gen. SHUTS of South
Africa, unknown in this country ex-
cept as Boer soldier of capacity.
In such circumstances secret confer
ences had their uses and excuses; and
the treaty the President is on the eve
of submitting to the Senate grew out
of them.
But secrecy should no longer be en-
ployed. The treaty is signed. 1t is
one of the most important documents
fkal
where, no matter how small, whose in
terests are not affected by it. The
the treaty's application. In the league
feature it applies with much force to
the United States.
Secrecy always heightens curiosity
and so it came about that the secrecy
considered necessary while the treaty
was taking shape gave rise to many
rumors and much speculation, which
obtained wide circulation. As a re-
suit, much misinformation got abroad,
and stirred up considerable feeling
/ everywhere. In this country the feel
ing is running high.
For these reasons, what is done now
should be done in the open. The
President has set his hand and seal
to the treaty. The Senate, as part of
the treaty making power, is to say
what it thinks of the covenant, which
without its approval can have no force
so far as this country is concerned
The initiative was with the President,
and he has exercised his prerogative.
Ratification is with the Senate, and
the Senate is now to exercise its pre-
rogative.
The people want, and are entitled
to, all the essential facts in this case.
If new obligations are to be taken by
the government they should be clearly
defined and we'll understood, for if,
and when, taken they must be scrupu-
lousy kept
Until disposed of, the treaty will top
all other subjects in popular interest;
and on that account everything ex.
planning and interpreting it should
have the right of way, so to say, and
an open way
