THE PESSIAIIST

IF ONE must be a pessimist, let him
keep his pessimism to himself.
1t is sufficient to make ones self
unhappy without loading gloom on the
others in the world. There always Gre

row. and if one cannot find happiness

gladness away from his fellow men.

japanese Friendship.

@ ECRETARY DENNY returns from the Far
East with the assurance that Japan is loyal
both to the letter and to the spirit OF the
treaties signed at the Washington conference
Other reputable travellers bring back the ac-
counts Only on rare occasions does some mis-
chievous pessimst insinuate that the Pacific
empire signed those treaties with its thumbs
crossed The fact seems assured that the Wash
ington conference killed the Japanese bogie-man
beyond much possibility of immediate resurrec-
ton. Before the meeting of world powers in
Washington coming with Japan was dis
cussed in all quarters Of American society, not as
a femote possibility but as a certainty Now war
with Japan subject for American conjecture
has 3een laid under the table. We never hear
the faintest suggestion of its possibility.
There never the slightest to believe
that Japan was not honest and sincere at Wash
ington- She had feared war with the United
State: much as the United States had feared
a war with her She does want war if it can
be svoided-particulsrly in which her de-
feat would be almost foregone conclusion The
outcome of the Washington conference shows
clearly how unsubstantial the predictions of
the American public and how the unofficial opinion
Of the United States underrated Japanese intelli-
sence.
Wars, in these days, are won by the strongest
side Neither personal collective bravery counts
for much so far as eventual results are concerned.
Military skill counts for even less. Wars won
by the nation with the greatest reserves OF man
power. the greatest of gold, the greatest
of iron and coal and oil. Japanese intelli
gence was underrated indeed by those who nsinu-
ated that she, who could count at the best only
bravery and military skill, would seek with
nation by whom she far unbalanced in
all the essentials for ultimate victory.

why the two nations cannot continue indefinitely

The Coal Situation.

T$HERE will be about a two-thrds supply Of
i anthracite coal for household use this winter
according to DIR. George Otis Smith, director of
the United States Geological Survey.
In other words, the average Washington
householder will not be able to buy enough to
keep his furnace supplied during the cold months.
This is matter OF cold figures DR.. Smiths es-
innate is not likely to be changed by an unlocked
for spurt in production.
1t is time for city people to take account of
stock before the first cold nights arrive. We would
call attention to the fact that the average WASH
ington house, during cold damp weather, is the
most uncomfortable place in the world unless
properly heated-wth the possible exception of the
ice igloo of the Eskimo. The winter climate of
Washington is not bad-but it is peculiar People
suffer more from cold than is the case in more
northerly cities at much lower temperatures than
ever arc reached in Washington.
The answer to the problem afforded by the
shortage of anthracite is to burn coke and bitumin-
Gus coal. Coke, according to the Geological Sur
vey, would answer every purpose if it could be
obtained. The supply, however, is not bountiful
and it will be more difficult to obtain a winters
supply OF this substitute than to fill the bins with
anthracite itself But there will be plenty of soft
coal.
The use of bituminous coal in furnaces, how.
ever, requires little specialized knowledge which
few Washingtonans possess. They should study
the question at once, learn just what can be done
and make up their minds just what to do 1t is
senseless to depend upon luck to obtain enough
hard coal 1t is senseless to face soft coal winter
in ignorance of the requirements for its use
Plenty Of bitumnous coal can be obtained at
once to last through the first hard months of the
cold season. 1t is time to FIJI the bins and thus
have good start in the against discomfort
and possible suffering which is bound to result in
many instances from the long continued mine

face. Such measures of preparedness as are pos
Sble should be taken without delay

Need of the Truth.

THE trouble with European politics is the uni

The case of Germany is typical One day we read

Says the Christian Science Monitor in a re.
markedly able observation on this condition:
Germany, according to most observers, is
producing as well as ever. She has practically no
unemployed She has factories destroyed The
mineral resources which are in her soil, though
diminished, not inadequate She has fair
trade. Many of her critics indeed complain that
she rs too prosperous. If the matter ended there
it would not appear that Germany had much to
worry about. But unfortunately in spite OF this
real wealth, the country in monetary sense is in
desperate case. The reparations burden has Grip
pied her credits. The mark is comparatively worth
less She may follow Austria. A revolution would
lot be surprising The contrast between the real
prosperity and the artificial poverty is an amazing
phenomenon.

dtion OF the main thoroughfares leading into
Washington from Maryland nd-Connecticut Wiscon-
sin, Rhode Island and Georgia avenues. These
streets are characterized a disgrace for CITY
the size OF Washington. Nobody who has occa-
sion to travel by automobile in or out OF Wash

body doubts but that the conditions of the main
arteries OF auto travel will become worse rather
than better during the coming year The Bureau
