DurRiING THE Last FourteeEN MonvTus the adminis- 
tration at Washington has faced more critical problems 
than any other administration since the Civil War. There 
have been times when it would appear that caution and 
celiberation would defeat. this country’s aims in impress- 
ing upon the powers of the old world that the methods 
and policies pursued were distasteful to Americans, Presi- 
dent Wilson proceeded wisely and successfully. The last 
note was’ written to Austria demanding a disavowal of 
the attack upon the Ancona. Mr. Lansing obtained ade- 
quate proof that the vessel was sunk with human beings 
still on board after the ship had come to and ceased its 
cHorts to escape, Lansing denounced the attack as in- 
humane and barbarous, and without mincing words or 
cavert rhetoric, and without the exchange of meaningless 
compliments, demanded that Austria disavow the attack, 
punish the captain of the submarine and pay an indemnity 
for the American lives sacrificed. The note is surpris- 
ingly vigorous. It is evident that Austria will accede to 
the wishes of this country. It seems a pity, however, 
that this nation could not have formally made a protest 
against the violation of the neutrality of Belgium. 
Ir tHe Democratic military program is successfully 
carried out a large increase in revenue will necessarily be 
needed. The plan to increase the revenue from internal 
taxation is not altogether satisfactory. Why not the 
tariff? The democratic party will have a difficult task to 
avoid the necessities of the situation. The simplest and 
wisest course to pursue is to follow the generation-old 
doctrine of the republican party—tariff for protection 
and revenue. ; 
Tuer Crry oF Boston has voted “Yes” on the license 
question for a great many years, but in no year has there 
been such a contest as this. Up to within a week before 
election day there was a possibility of the city voting 
“No.” This, however, was not the result of a develop- 
ment of a strong no-license sentiment, but was a “whip & 
to be used to secure from certain interests concessions 
that were demanded. 
Raspr FLEISHER has registered a protest against the 
unpatriotic ways in which patriotic holidays are celebrat- 
ed. His protest is not altogether seasonable. While pre: 
faring for a Merry Christmas it is difficult to entertain 
plans for the reform of summer holidays. 
NorMAN Prince will sail for America soon. His 
eght days’ reprieve will not seem long, but America ougat 
to seem good to him after a year’s service in the war for 
France.

ONE oF THE PRoBLEMS the war is sure to precipitate 
is that of immigration, but who can foresee what turn 
the tide will take. After all wars during the last one 
hundred years there has been a marked increase in im- 
migration from Europe to America. If the usual occurs 
there will be a great exodus from Europe to America. 
There are those who have been carefully studying the 
problem who prophesy that just the opposite will happen 
this time. When this war ends there will be great exodus 
of foreign born people to the old homes in Europe. 
Whether Europe will afford as great opportunities after 
the war as now, remains to be seen. 
Tue Trustees of Tuskegee Institute are making 
an effort to raise a two-million-dollar endownient fund to 
continue the work begun by Booker T. Washington. - If 
there ever was an educational movement that deserves 
the support of generous people it is Tuskegee. The com- 
mittee has already in hand nearly one half of a million 
dollars and the other million and one half ought £02.06 
forthcoming. 
Major Hrccrnson has taken occassion to write one 
of the best dailies his appreciation of the work of the 
symphony orchestra and his praise of their devotion to 
their art in view of the war. There are ten different 
nationalities represented in the orchestra and yet their 
work has been continued with success because of fe 
absence of friction. 
Boston Has Hap the opportunity of viewing two 
carefully prepared moving picture films representing the 
Allies’ side of the war. The films are carefully censored 
and while giving a suggestive idea of the war and some 
of its methods of attack the films are “uncommunicative.” 
The eneny could learn but little from them. : 
Ivy 1s Not Crear to Americans why Germany persists 
in comparing the attitude of the Allies to Greece with 
the attitude of Germany to Belgium, Word has not yet 
rcached America that Greece is being overrun by French- 
men and British troops and the inhabitants murdered and 
their cities laid waste by them. 
Tut Boston Socrerres for war relief work have 
been sending to the front La Fayette kits, and word is 
coming back that these kits are “filling a place.” Two 
Collars goes a long way toward helping the soldiers at the 
front when invested in a La Fayette kit. 
GreRMANY Awat's propositions of peace compatible 
with her national honor and on her terms, Not a word 
is said about Belgium or Alsace-Lorraine being re- 
turned to their own peoples. An overture for peace has 
not yet been made. 
Iv Has Been Sarp of Robert McNeil Morse, that ia 
lis career as a lawyer he has never made any discour- 
teous utterance to a witness, an adversary or a judge. 
Such a record is an enviable one. 
Tur Crry or Boston was the scene of the hottest 
political fight in years. It is evident that both the Good 
Government forces and the gangsters were awake to the 
issues,
