The Ice Shortage.

IF there is not enough ice in the Dis
trict of Columbia to supply the domes-
tic needs for refrigeration, the use of
ice for the making and dispensing of
creams and sodas should be curtailed,
or stopped entirely if necessary.
Everything should be sacrificed to the
supplying of the home ice boxes. If
these are not kept cold the food stocks
of the people will spoil and sickness
will result. Washington can get along
without ice cream and soda water bet
ter than without ice for the keeping of
meats and milk in the houses.
The present ice shortage is due to
the fact that the demand exceeds the
supply and there are not sufficient re-
serves to meet the call for ice in the
warm weather. The city has grown in
population faster than the ice-making
facilities. Efforts to increase the plants
will not bring results for. months to
come. Meanwhile some official super
vision over the distribution is neces-
,sary. One of the first steps should be,
as suggested, the shutting off of the
supply for luxury purposes and the
concentration of the stock upon the
urgent requirements of the homes.

The Canal and the Fleet.

The prompt and successful passage
Of the Pacific feet through the Panama
canal is an inspiring event. Every
American should rejoice. It fixes the
Importance of that waterway in our
new sea scheme. We are to maintain
. feet in each of the two great oceans,
with the purpose Of uniting them in
ether as emergency may require. The
canal, it has now been demonstrated,
r:ll serve this purpose of emergency
nnion. A feet Of the most powerful
fghting ships can be passed from one
ocean to the other in short time-time

Whether the emergency arises in the

then exploding and burning ten peo-
pie to death. and injuring many others.
This accident is to be carefully noted
as q guide to regulations for the future
government Of air machines Of all
kinds in their flights over cities. In
deed, it has been suggested that no
machine be permitted to fly over a
thickly populated district. It is true
that an accident just like that in Chi
cago may not happen again in several
hundred cases of collapsing dirigibles.
But that fact does not reassure the
occupants of cities. Air transport
will soon become successful Dirigi-
bles and planes will make such
FREQUENT trips as to be barely worthy
Of notice, as are the street cars OF to-
day. If they are to fly promiscuously
over cities and will in those days be
as subject to arrangement and disable
ment as now, the risk of injury to
people on the ground will be by no
means negligible but will be serious.
Evening star. [volume] (Washington, D.C.) 1854-1972, 1919-07-28

enough Of them in both oceans-an
adequate number, for all the possible
requirements Of our long coast lines
and our outlying possessions. We
should be prepared to protect them at
all times against aggressions from any
quarter.
This will not provoke war, but be a
factor for peace. It will not have for
its. object putting any particular ma
tiop on notice, though all nations will
take notice. And all which have made,
or are making, themselves secure in
like manner will secretly approve of
our precaution. The better prepared
we are to protect ourselves the more
respected we shall be, and the greater
the value placed on our friendship and
good will.
The canal was not built for war, but
for peace purposes-to facilitate ex-
changes of commodities between the
great nations trading at a distance
from home. But the great war came
at a time to subordinate the compile
ton of the enterprise in public notice,
and delay the proper recognition. Now
however, and from now ON, this aspect
of the canal cannot fail to receive the
proper appraisement.
The canal is an American enterprise,
built with American money, and is I'M
der American control. It is an Ameri-
can offering to the development and
convenience of the world. That status
should never be changed, and never
will be changed while America is able,
and continues disposed, to hold her
place in the front rank of the ma
tons. No proposition to interna.
tionalize that waterway could meet
with anything but pronounced protest
and defeat.

Was Peace Proposed in 1877

Matthias Erzberger, vice premier of
Germany, asserts that in August, 1917,
England and France made peace over
lures through the Vatican, and tenders
in support Of his statement the text of
"a note from Mgr. Pacelli, papal nuncio
at Munich, transmitting the PROPOSE
ton, which emanated from London
and, it is stated, was concurred in by
France. Alexander Ribot, who was pre-
mier Of France at the time, denies
Erzberger's statement. No denial has
come from England. Meanwhile Ger
man statesmen of the old regime are
coming forward with explanations rela-
tive to their part in the treatment of
the peace proposal, which was rejected
after a grand council had been held:
It is noteworthy that in August, 1917,
the United States was in the war, had
been in over four months. It had not
begun to make itself felt in the field,
but was preparing at rate certain
to produce results within few months.
Some Of our troops were ON the ground
in France and were recognized as Of a
quality measuring well up to the stand
ard Of the European forces.
If this proposal actually was made
from London, with or without French
acquiescencs. it would be interesting to
know what prompted it at time when
the American war preparations were
gathering Roadway and it was assured
that by the spring a great American
Army would be ready to take the field,
if not actually in the field. As a mat
ter of fact, if our troops had not been.
on the ground six months later and
streaming overseas in increasing num-
beers the German offensive would have
succeeded. Was the ability Of the
United States to place in France in time
an army sufficient to stem the then ex-
pected enemy offensive so seriously
doubted that it was deemed prudent
then, with the war virtually at stale
mate, to make overtures for settlement
Was this doubt based upon the ques-
ton of sea transport Or was it based
upon uncertainty Of the American mil
itary quality in the ieldi
- -H H.l
1t would, Of course, have been in
fnitely better for Germany to accept
these proposals. in the autumn of 1917,
if they were made. On the other hand.
it would have been most lamentable
for the allies If such a plan lad car
ried through. One other question re-
mains: Was the United States govern
