war conditions, calling for measure
Of war sacrifice, still continue and will
linger for a time, even after the peace
treaty is signed.
It is conceded that the war break
down Of street railway systems is
widespread in the United States. The
sufferings of Washington in this re-
speet are duplicated in many other
cities. This consideration may modify
somewhat the community's natural i'm
patience at continuance for time of
what it is compelled to endure in poor
street railway service. But it does not
weaken the community's just demand
for radical and speedy Improvement
of this service and for the earnest co.
operation to this end Of everybody in
interest or under the responsibility
which power to act imposes. including
the Public Utilities Commission. Con-
grcss, the ashingtonians who ride in
the cars, the Westinghouse who OPP
crate the ears and the Washingtonians
who as stockholders own the cars.

Ten Dollar Bonus Inadequate.

Continuation of the bonus of $500 a
year to the government clerks in
Washington does not constitute a suf-
ficient recognition of the need of high
err pay to enable these people to pay
for the necessities of life. now at top
figure. 1t remains q mere provisional
grant, to be discontinued whenever
Congress in moment of rigid econ
ony deems that the emergency has
passed a higher pay scale was needed
long ago. It was especially needed
when the war in Europe boosted prices
in this country
The addition of $40 q month to the
pay Of the clcrks-averaging only
about 10 per cent-stands in contrast
to the addition of 20, 30, 40, 80 and in
some cases even 100 per cent to the
wages and salaries of workers in pri-
vate employment during the war pc
Rod. The government clerk today,
with this munifcent bonus of $l20 a
year-which barely meets the higher
price of the meat bought for the family
tablets poorer than the average I'M
skilled artisan.
1t is by no means too late to right
this wrong. The bill has only just been
introduced in the House. 1t may be
amended there. 1t surely should be
amended in the Senate. We have Just
helped to win the war to make the
world safe for democracy and human
ity. The government that managed the
American contribution to the victory
should not continue as the harshest
taskmaster and the poorest paymaster
in the country.
An implied promise to readjust the
salary scale comprised in a provision
for commission to equaize the de-
partmental compensations will not pay
the butcher and the baker, the coal
dealer, the dressmaker and the tailor,
the bootman and the doctor during the
next fiscal year while the clerks are
drawing their bonuses.

The Drama at Versailles.

The long wait is over. The curtain
at Versailles is about to rise. Those
cast for the most prominent parts in
the drama are either on the scene, OF
expected within twenty-four hours.
Some impotence at the delay has
been felt and expressed. So large an
audience-practically the whole world
could not be expected to preserve
perfect order.
But this impatience will have no eff.
feet if when the drama begins the &C,
tors show themselves capable in theil
roles, and of disposition to do their
best A failure on the part of any OF
them would be widely and instantly re
sented. The audience--the world-sin

ties of the struggle were far from be

Dormitories to Be Completed.

Decision that the dormitories on the
station plaza are to be pushed to COM
pletion, rendered by the House COM
mittee on public buildings and grounds,
is undoubtedly in the interest of the
health and comfort of the war workers,
who are still employed by the govern
ment in great numbers. Statements
were made before the committee by
officials that left no doubt that the
need Of additional housing facilities
will continue for months to, come. In
any event, the fact is that the force of
workers has not been appreciably re-
duced and as the government under
took the construction of these build
ings not merely to care for the over
flow from absolutely filed private ae-
commodations, but to provide decent
housing for many who positively could
not be properly placed, it would be
folly to suspend work that has al
ready cost large sum of money, and
if not used would represent an abso-
lutte waste. If the prospect were that
Washington's surplus population would
very quickly be reduced through
wholesale dismissals suspension of the
work would have been justified, but
that prospect has been dissipated, and
it is most desirable that everything
possible be done to make those who
remain in the service and for whom
there is not adequate housing accom-
mediation just as comfortable as cir
cumstances permit.

would spread until it shook the world
was probably in nobody's thought.
Still, that happened. Before the end,
the world was shaken.
So now in the matter Of peace. When
the peace conference was first sug-
gested the scope was limited. Now 1t
is unlimited. The conference faces a
great quantity and great variety of
business. In way and measure, it
is expected to reshape world condi-
tons, and arrange for firmly estab-
fishing the new order.
Such work, and so much Of it, can
not be performed in day. In the
very nature of things, controversies
will arise. and when in hand will pro-
duce spirit We should not expect
altruism TO be the keynote of the tribu-
nal. Natural selfshncss will manifest
itself, and require compromises which
cannot be hastily prepared.
For these reasons the conference
may function slowly. 1t should, il
necessary to turn out. the best work,
There is so much at stake, and so
many are interested in and will be af-
feeted by the result, n hotch would
prove a colossal blunder. Certainly
nobody desires a resumption of hos
tilities, or the way left open for an
other clash in the next few years be-
tween nations then but partly recov-
cred from losses incurred during the
past four years.
In this great drama America will
play very prominent part, and should
play it we'll. That is the general wish,
Domestic politics is not involved, and
should not be introduced. It did not
appear in any phase of the war, and
there is no reason why it should APP
pear in these CONCENTRATIONS about
peace.

A Case of Persistence,

It is pleasant to think Of how easy
'tweuld be
To keep this old world running happy
and free.
Let's all get together with purpose so
strong,
And abolish whate'er is unpleasant or
wrong.
Abolish the anger, abolish the hate,
Abolish the greed from our human es-
tate,
Abolish the sorrow, abolish the pride,
Abolish the skeptics who rail and de-
ride.
Abolish the hunger, abolish the cold,
Abolish the toll by which both are con-
troHed.
And should they return, all our hopes
to disdain,
Well meet and abolish them over
