Senator Calder's Suggestion.

Senator Calder suggests that as q
means Of meeting the emergency in
the national affairs due to the failure
of the last Congress to provide the
government with support the new Con-
gress should call itself in session and
meet forthwith and proceed with the
work of legislation that was left un-
finished on the 4th of March. This
is a unique Suggestion and probably
is not meant seriously. Yet IL would
be interesting to know what would hap
pen If the two houses by agreement
of the leaders were to assemble and
organize and notify the President of
their readiness to proceed. II q ma.
jority of both houses were thus to
meet and proceed with the work Of leg.
islation they would probably be con.
fronted with vehement denia4s Of their
right to do so. It has been pointed
out that in at least one case Congress
has called itself in extra session, dur.
ing the administration of President
Johnson. But that was dons by q
formal vote which axoa ths dase foa
the assembling of tho naxt session
There IL NO such possfbEfsy now, md

Evening star., 1919-03-21

The field marshal says that this was
done to "scrve the fatherland, save
Germany from further losses, distress
and misery and restore peace and Or
der to her"
All of which looks strongly as though,
an attempt is being made to restore
William Hohenzollern to favor In Ger
many. His flight into Holland was so
distinctly contrary to his role as q
war lord" that he undoubtedly lost
prestige with the people. He became
mere Chocolate soldier" He did
not even issue one Of his famous mag
niloquent addresses, and this is point
Of Importance. indicating that the rca-
soning of Won Hindenburg was an
afterthought. The kaiser's abdication,
it is known, was not altogether volun-
tary. Indeed, it was unwillingly
signed at Spa.
Any effort to restore William Hohen-
zollern to power in Germany will fail.
He is on the black list, whatever may
have been his motive in fleeing at the
time when Germany most needed
guidance.
Evening star., 1919-03-21
Coal Prices.

Notices have been given the house
holders of Washington that after the
1st of May the hard coal prices will
probably be advanced 10 cents ton,
with similar advance each month up
to September. This is in reversal of
the practice in former times, when the
summer prices of coal were lower than
those prevalent in the winter. No
explanation is given for the progress
sive increase from month to month,
but the inference is to be drawn that
this is a means of inducing early buy
ing.
Last spring the people were urged
by the fuel administrator to lay in
their stocks of coal for the season as
early as possible in the spring and
summer. Thousands of them in this
city did so. Had the winter just
closed been as severe as the one that
