Over here in America our Anglo

depth Of her feeling for America by

The Engineer Commissionership.

Announcement that Col. Charles W
Kutz has been relieved from duty al
Engineer Commissioner Of the Dis
trict and that his place Is to be filled
BY Col. Charles Keller will stimulate
al complex reaction in the hearts OF
the citizens Of Washington. Regret
will be experienced in that Col. Kutz
whose signal abilities for the perform
ance OF the manifold and delicate
duties of the conmissionership have
been established in the years of his
service. is to go. Pleasure will be
felt In that to the Office from which
he departs is to come a man so thor.
oughly equipped for the carrying on
of the work involved. The old phrase
ut is with mingled feelings of pleas.
ure and regret" is perhaps hackneyed
20 the point Of fatuousness.' yet old
phrases are such for no other reason
than their appropriateness for appli.
cation to the recurring events in life,
and no more accurate phrase could
be devised to fit the case in point.
Col. Kutz leaves his duties as a
of service and achievement of which
the District is fully conscious. No
stronger evidence of the high regard
in which he has been held could be
advanced than the fact that he has
occupied the office he now vacates
for q far longer period than that Gus
tomarily permitted. He was retained
in the commissionership for no other
reason than that the pressing duties
involved called for the experienced
aptitude which he possessed. The
good wishes Of Washingtonians will
follow him as he goes on to new duties.
Col. Keller. the new Commissioner,
steps into office with Washington be-
hind him to man. His several years
OF service here in the office of the
chief of engineers Of the Army have
familiarized him with the needs Of the
community in the affairs Of which he
is to play so important a part. He
has, in the course Of his work, had
intimate contact with such important
matters as the expansion Of the water
supply system. the Improvement Of
the Potomac and Anacostia rivers
and the development of memorials
and other federal projects. An officer
of established ability, with a record
for distinguished service in France,
he enters upon his new duties at a
time when a man of less ability. less
informed upon the general condition
and needs of the District, might well
fall short Of complete success. Yet to
Col. Keller the fact that during his
Commtssionership difficult problems
will demand solution may well bring
only qualification in the fact that
larger opportunity for service is thus
offered.

Bridges.

Traffic outsrows bridges at q rapid
rate. This ts because Of the multipli.
cation Of vehicles and the greater size,
weight and load-capacity of vehicles.
When the Pennsylvania Avenue bridge
was built a generation ago it was
thought to be strong enough to bear
any loaded vehicle. Monster motor
trucks carrying ton on ton Of freight
were not thought Of. Now, as the
East Washington Citizens Association
has pointed out, there is q six.ton
limit on trucks crossing the bridge.
which curtails the use Of the bridge
for commercial purposes" The arsu.
ment is that the present bridge has
outlived it's usefulness and the plea
is for new bridge equal to the re-
sponsibE.:ies Of today and the proba-
BILE responsibilities Of number Of
years to come.
Getting new bridge at a new point
and replacing an old bridge with a
new one are things that have been
done. but such things have always
taken time-too much time. The old
Navy Yard wooden bridge was Q gen
Grafton, or two or three generations,
out Of date before the stone pier and
iron truss bridge was built. That was
many years out Of date before the
present bridge was built. A genera
tion Of discussion, exhortation. plead
ing was gone through before the pres.
ent Pennsylvania Avenue bridge was
built. The Aqueduct bridge soon
after its opening as free bridge was
under fire as unsafe and as Of too
little traffic capacity, yet the new
bridge-the Key bridge-is only build
ing. 1t took flfty years Of discussion
to get rid Of the Long bridge.
II the Pennsylvania Avenue bridge
is no longer able to take care Of the
traffic offered 1t should be quickly su.
perseded by tridge that 10 adequate.
What needs to be done ought to be

Peace.

Several considerations make worth
while q serious trial at international
agreement on armament limitation. A
successful effort in this direction, and
q satisfactory result from such an ef.
fort, might eventually lead to arma.
ment reduction to the barest police
needs Of a state. It is a desideratum
worth a hard and earnest effort.
Certain lines Of change in the world
reduce the sum Of dream stun in the
wish for universal and enduring peace.
Two OF these lines Of change which
seem to indicate an easier approach to
the things desired are the ''universali-
zation" Of what we call Education"
and q corresponding increase in the
power and authority Of the plain peo.
pie.
The power Of the few kings and
other non.elected governors remaining
steadily declines. The schooling Of
plain people goes on, and the forms by
which they can give expression and
effect to their opinion expand and null
tiply. It may be assumed that the
popular mass can and will come to the
understanding that war is against its
interests, and that Its interests can be
served In other ways than by war. Uni
versal peace does not call for making
over Of human nature. but merely for
an understanding Of how to serve ones
own interest.
A great deal Of thought Of this kind
has been forced on mankind by late
events. Never before had war caused
30 much death and hunger. privation.

lesacy OF taxation which keeps it in
