The Victory Loan Will Succeed.

As Washington went over the top
in the victory loan two days ahead Of
time, SO will the rest Of the country
make the quota by Saturday night. OF
that there can be no doubt. The war
loans have all been fully subscribed
and over, and there is no reason to
doubt an excess subscription this time.
Those who questioned the country's
willingness to invest in government Sc
curities to provide funds to defray ex-
penses Of the war when it had been
won wrongly measured the peoples de-
votion to the cause in which the
United States wasaenlisted. two years
ago. They failed to appreciate the
extent to which the war had aroused
the real patriotism of the American
citizens and developed the national
consciousness. The simple business
principle involved in the victory loan,
that the obligations incurred in the
waging Of the war must be met in full,
has appealed to the people and they
are responding to it.

Once at Trepassy, the Americans,
with their rivals at st. Johns, will be
ready to take the air at the first favor
able opportunity, and the race will be
on. Different courses have been Sc
lected, with England as the goal for
both. The British planes will fly
straight for London, one or both

naval airboats have chosen the longer
course, via the Azores and Lisbon to
Plymouth There is a high element
of sporting interest in each. The
British straightaway involves a non
stop flight of 1923 miles to Ireland, or
2,173 to London The American course
calls for the successful location of
the Azores-a pinpoint in the Atlantic
after flight of 200 miles and a
total distance to London of 2,775 miles.
England and America have met be-

sport. The contest of the air bids

The Presidents Message.

The President, it is announced. will
cable his message TO Congress. It need
not be long. Indeed, it may be con-
fined to the matter of the delayed sup
ply bills and some other urgent appro-
priations. Congress, it is understood.
is to take them up first, and endeavor
TO dispose of them in the six weeks
that will remain of the present fiscal
year. The President, therefore. NAV
in his message simply line up with
this program. Then, upon his return,
and when the proper time comes, he
can address Congress upon issues
properly associated with what is called
reconstruction.
It is hardly likely that the Presi
dent is prepared at present to give in
detail his views on reconstruction.
For nearly six months-nearly ever
since the armistice was signed-he has
been engaged with other matters-with
world matters. Local matters, so to
say-American matters-have been put
aside. 1t is to be doubted, indeed, if
lie las found time while abroad even
10 follow the sentiment on reconstruc-
ton developing at home.
Ffe President will want to know
something about this before commit
ting himself in recommendations. Re-
construction carries good many
items and some of them are very i'm
postant in our politics The Presi-
dent is the leader of his party, and
his party is preparing for national
campaign. He may carry its standard

Hopping Off.

American sea planes have arrived at
Halifax, the first phase of Americas
determination to lead the way across
the Atlantic through the air. There
is another "hop" of AGO sea miles to
Trepassy before the planes attempt
their major effort. Absorbing as is the
interest in these preliminary flights,
American enthusiasm will not reach
its apex until the planes are at Tre-
passy-on the mark.
The thrill Of the effort is enhanced
by the assurance that it is not merely
to be struggle against nature, but a
veritable race. Just north Of the
American station at Trepassy the
smaller British planes are waiting at
st. Johns, headed east Reports have
indicated that it is the weather man
upon whom they wait. Here in the

The Independence Day Pageant.

Plans for a celebration of indie
pendence day are now in hand which
promise an occasion of exceptional sig
nificance. A program of pageantry
has been outlined to the citizens COM
mittee, which met yesterday, which
will symbolic the victory that has
been achieved in the great war and at
the same time denote the spirit of
good citizenship in peace.
Last years celebration, undertaken
hurriedly and on a small scale, so
quickly developed that it outgrew the
original plans. It was a remarkably
successful undertaking, giving great
pleasure to multitudes of people and
stimulating their patriotic enthusiasm
at time when the prospect abroad
was gloomy.
In the light of the experience Of
1918 this years celebration should be
even more satisfactory and complete.
Ht HopC 10 IioIii liIe w
ton plan of observance will spread a
countrywide series of Independence
day ceremonies. One Of the features
proposed is that the people should in
conjunction with the spectacle renew
their oaths Of allegiance, in keeping
with a suggestion made by President
Wilson.
Washington led the country in the
rescue Of Independence day from the
barbarism Of the past. The present
mode of celebration that now obtains
practically throughout the United
States arose from the local efforts to
lessen the casualties incident to the
old time riot of noise making that pre-
vailed on that occasion. It will be
fitting if the pageantry feature, which
has already been successfully carried
into effect here, were to become the
universal form Of observance Of the
country's chief national festival.

be too cautious in whatever moves he
makes now or later.
1t may turn out that We shall have
q series of addresses to Congress by
the President in the next twelve
months. He may decide to take up
one by one the more important of the
reconstruction problems, and have his
say as Congress may show itself ready.
Probably the best of the Presidents
innovations has been the disearding
of the old, the blanket, form Of the
executives Recommendation about
legislation. Some of those messages
were almost indigestible because of
their length. All were too long. Presi-
dent Wilson has usually been brief,
leaving the departmental reports to
speak for themselves. In this way he
has been able to fix closer attention
on particular subjects.
There is a good deal to be said; and
something is expected from the Presi-
dent on number of problems. As in
the three Congresses that have sat
since he entered the White House, his
party will guide by him in the pres
ent Congress. He will shape next
years democratic campaign whether he
stands for another term or not. So
that he cannot afford to speak now
without preparation on any subject
that will then occupy attention.

Civic Jubilation.

Last nights victory loan jubilee was
complete success in so far as it
brought the people together in a spirit
Of rejoicing, and especially as it was
purpose for which it was designed, to
celebrate the completion of the Dis
trict's quota of the loan. While per-
haps the crowds were not aware, as
they made merry on the Avenue, that
the District had actually gone over the
top, there was a general feeling of
confidence, inspired by the figures an
nounced in The Star covering the sub
scriptions up to the close Of business
on Wednesday, that that result would
be achieved.
There is no city in the country that
has the facilities for great out of door
festivities that Washington possesses.
With the ellipse. at one end for an
immense gathering, with the broad
stretch of the Avenue for a mile and
a third between the Treasury and the
Capitol for parades and promenades
and carnival professions, and with the
Capitol plaza for pageantry and cere-
monies, there is a maximum Of space
and convenience. Other cities have
large open spaces and broad streets,
but none in such effective conjunction.
The fact that with thousands Of au-
tomobiles in motion last night and an
immense multitude of people on foot
there were no serious accidents attests
to the efficiency Of the provisions for
handling a great crowd.
Washington should have more Of
these affairs, with music and with dane
ing in the open spaces, with fireworks
and searchlights and illumination gen.
orally. There is always some possible
occasion for public jubilation, and it
would be good for the civic spirit thus
to manifest occasionally in the man
ner Of last nights demonstration.

Essentials of Justice.

While sympauetlcally concerned in
the manner in which the new states
of Europe are safeguarded by the
treaty of peace, the American people
are chiefly interested in the matter of
the reduction of Germany's mischief
making power, her punishment for
crimes of war and the measures of
reparation exacted from her. In these
three particulars the treaty should be
fully acceptable to the United States.
1t most assuredly puts Germany out of
the way of making trouble through
military measures for as long time
as its provisions are effective. 1t will
be impossible under this treaty for her
to raise a large army or to develop a
navy capabli of belligerent work
against majo--- powers. Not even by
the trick of abort term conscription,
once employed successfully by an an
cestor of William II, can Germany be
given the makings of a great mill
tary machine. Naval construction can
not be conducted in secret Commits
sions will see that the German indus
trial organization is not developed for
sudden effective transformation into
war-making equipment. Short of a
defiant refusal to observe the terms
of the treaty can Germany possibly
place herself on the plane of mill
tarisn upon which she began her war
of conquest in 1914.
In the matter of reparations and
punishments, too, justice has been done.
The kaiser and others guilty of of
fenses against morality and against
the laws of nations and the rules of
war will be brought to trial in cir
cumstances making for a just retribu-
tion for those whose guilt is proved.
Hostages IA to be held to insure the
delivery g. military courts of those
who havl offended in the course Of
the war. Germany is required to aid
to the fullest extent in these prosecu-
tions, and only through bad faith at
Berlin can the perpetrators of the out
escape.
There may be some dissatisfaction
on the other side on the score of the
indemnities and reparations. It was
impossible to exact from Germany a
full payment of all the losses wrongly
inflicted upon the allied peoples. There
was an assured sssit to the possibility
of payment, beyond which it was un-
wise to pass in exactions The indem-
mites will be spread over period of
years, being paid practically as rapid
ly as they can be used effectively in
rehabilitation of the devastated areas.
Reservations in kind are exacted in
suring that Germany will not profit
economically from the distinctions
committed in the allied territories.
In these practical features the treaty
is satisfactory. Every possible pre-
caution appears to have been taken
against faithlessness and evasion. Pen
alties are provided for application in
the case Of failures and breaches. If
the allies through their commissions
keep on the job Germany will for
years to come continue to pay the
price of her crimes in which the Ger
man people joined when in 1914 they
vociferously and jubilantly approved
the war and for four years without
demur or resistance gave themselves
freely for its prosecution

JAMES SKINNER APPOINTED
AUTOMOBILE PATRoLMAN.

Senator H. S. White of the State
Road Commission, who has charge of
the Auto Department, was in Charles
Town last week and made talk to
the County Court on the question of
the absolute necessity of Patrolman
being appointed to enforce the speed
ing and license laws and the Court
appointed j. James Skinner who
qualified as a Deputy Sheriff, and
while Senator White was in the coun-
ty he began his duties. Quite a
good many violations were found,
many of them because the law was
not well understood. The law re-
quires all traction engines that go on
the road to pay a state license, and
all employees to have chauffeurs
license that drive machines, and no
motor vehicles can go on the roads
without displaying two license tags.
Mr.. Skinner will have the entire
county to patrol and those who are
in doubt will find him ready to help
them out.
