IN ESPITE the best efforts of the police de-

books continues to flourish in all parts Of Wash
ineton. The tiu-horn gamblers continue 10 cons
greeate in the downtown streets. obstructing
traffic and generally making nuisances Of them
selves Bets continue to be made on the curbng,
in cigar stores, softdrnk saloons and restaurants.
And the poor. misguided men and women Of
the District continue to pour out a golden food
to buy automobiles for .cheap gamblers and boot
leggers.
For time the @bookies" were keeping close
under cover and hangers-on were discouraged from
congregating about the places where bets were
laid. Not so now. AS soon as the police stop for

rats seeking air. and contaminate the downtown
streets of the city OF course their operations
not confined to the downtown streets, but it is
there they most noticeable: Within the last
week two there has been little attempt at
camoufage by the gambling fraternity; money
passes in the streets in broad daylight and you
do not have be very well known to "get down"
on nag if such is your inclination.
Betting the races at legitimate race tracks
is bad enough but when weak-minded youths and
foolish older persons are enticed into putting up
their money day after day with bunch of blood
sucking blacklegs who make of gambling "sure
thing game, it is time a halt was called. OF
course there are those who know they have not
chance to win in the long run, who realize that
all the odds against them, and yet continue to
bet But the majority probably never stop to
think that the bookmaker has just about fifty
chances to win against the one of the player For,
in addition to the regular hazards of racing, the
bettor with the tin-horn "bookie" is confronted
with countless loopholes through which the man

The odds reduced and advantage is taken of
every legitimate techncaty-and lot which are
not legitimate-to evade paying the bettor who is
lucky enough to pick winner.
We hope the police continue their crusade, or
better still, start all again, crush out this
growing evil. And further. hope some agehcy
can be established which will attempt to convince
the thousands of men and women in the District
who patronize the books" that they are merely
throwing good money after bad every time they
make bet and that instead Of being included in
the category of sportsmen or sportswomen, they

And Now the Lonesome Club"

A NEWS dispatch announces the formation by
n a New York church OF Lonesome Club -
designed to provide lonesome New Workers with
love, art, fame and prosperity" This follows the
formation OF similar organizations in Detroit and
Seattle
The subject provides "fat picking" for news
paper humorists. To the lonesome however, there
no lonelier place than the big city This is par
tIcuarly true OF women strangers in a strange land
Men, old and young readily seek associates,
but long-estabshed custom is "all to the bad" for
the lonesome woman. She may go to church and
be treated as a stranger, until unless she es-
tablshes herself. With millions of people all
around her, she is in situation parallel to that
OF the thirsty mariner cast adrift upon the oceSn
The process is a simple one for the woman
who possesses personality and tact That, how
ever, does not describe the lonesome woman She
is apt to be merely one OF the millions lust a
woman, heart-hungry and-lonesome. 1t is little
wonder that the public dance and the public street
possess lure for many of those who have a nat
ural longing for the human touch"
The problem is coeval with the development
of the modern city; in less populous communities,
where everybody knows everybody" it is not so
acute. The Lonesome Club is designed to soften,
to degree. the lack of neighborness of the city,
on the theory that misery loves company
And if it accomplishes that to which it aspires,
it has vndicated its existence.

the delicate child is at the cost of

is a question OF a delicate father
and child; sometimes between two
children. The mother herself has
to think of her health. for were she
to break down catastrophe would
be inevitable. There are few Ger

made by the mother of the family.

Instead of shoes some of the little
children go barefoot, while the
older boys and girls wear a sort
of sandal. which takes far less
leather than the shoe proper.
There is a curious old-German
suggestion about all these contriv-
ances which is not in the least self
conscious and which is exceedingly
picturesque. In her need, domes-
tic Germany is reverting curiousiy

poverty which made the former
fussy German haus-frau. and which
today makes her again rise courage

Those Reasons Will Be Re.

To the Editor. The Washington Herald;
One day this week, believe. read
an editorial in your paper that failed
TO satisfy me in the least. The edi-
torial said there were many reasons.
all Of them good. why the United
States took part in the world war.
What ! did not like about Il was that
il failed TO mention the reasons we
went into the war. Many times have
seen the statement that we had good
causes. but writer's in papers seem to
be Of one mind: they do like The
Herald editorial writer, saying there
are reasons. and then going into some
thing else The Herald seems to me
far the most fair paper in town, and
/ wish the editor would take time 20
write a little piece. and actually in
form the readers like myself who are
vet in ignorance as TO what the war
was fought for.
To save civilization" was one of
the reasons advanced at the time. but
surely the editor did not have that in
mind when he said there were good
reasons. II that was a reason. how
about now with the Turks advancing
on Europe? Their advance seems 10

theaters and inform the people Of the
horrors Of the Turk. and his menace
to civilizat ton. suppose no one VIII
pretend that the Christian central
powers were a greater menace 10 civ
ilization than the Turk.
It is my opinion that Christian
states have spent their blood and
treasure and their enthusiasm TO PIT
down a sham enemy OF civilization.
and now that a real enemy appears
there is no desire to put it down.

Is managing editor. John w Da-
vi5' former Ambassador to Great
Britain, is chairman of the Coun, I'll
on Foreign Relations. and Mr.. Root
is honorary chairman.
Under the title. "A REQUISITE for
the Success of Popular Diplomacy"
Mr. Root writes:
The control of foreign relations
by modern democracies creates a
new and pressing demand for pom
uIar education in international sr-
iairs. In the demo-
cratic countries generally the great
body of citizens are refusing to
wait until negotiations are over. or
policies are acted upon, or even
determined. They demand to know
what is going on and to have an
opportunity to express their op;n-
ions at all stages of diplomatic
proceedings.
The usefulness of this new de-
parture is subject to one inevitable
condition. That is, that the de-
mocracy which is undertaking TO
direct the business of diplomacy
shall learn the business. The con-
trolling democracy must acquire a
knowledge of the fundamental ana
essential facts and principles upon
VIII ch the relations OF nations de-
pend. Without such a knowledge
there can be no intelligent discus
sion and consideration of foreign
policy and diplomatic conduct,
Misrepresentation will have a clear
fie.l and ignorance and error will
make wild work with foreign re-
lations.
