HILL Tile Senate bill for the reorganiza tiou of the army, passed without evci a roll call, IK a measure which nduilr ably lirH 'the present nevi of the couti tty. it is to be hoped that its goot features will not he sacrificed in con fcrcncc. The House bill is Inad?quat* in the light of our submarine crisis I The house can well afford, lu Hilt emergency, to yield to the senate. ! The bill which passed the lieus* provides for a regular anny of 140, ! 00? men, Instead of 100.000 aa at pres ?.nt. Thc Senate bill provides foi ?250,000. It has been objected that thh S number is loo large for pc .:e and toi small for war. It must be remember cd, however, that the 250,000 is fixed at the maximum which, in normal times would never be reached. Even toda) our army ls not recruited up to Its per missible 100.000. The esential thing i> to have the organization. With tlu necessary regiments organized and of fleered, the actual size of the army ma? bo only hair or the 250,000, but whet necessary it cnn be brought to its ful theoretical strength by mustering lt the requisite number ofrccruits. Tbl? lt need not be a menace or a b?rdet lu time of peace, and in time of war i will be tlie foundation of an ad?quat* military force. Another essential difference concern? the tederal volunteer army. The rlousi bill elimina!' ?I this proposal entirely The Senate hill establishes such a re nerve system which, when in tull oper ntlon, would alford a total avallabb htrongth or nearly 800,000 men-or counting in tho National Guard, abou 1,000,000 mon. The guurdsmen bnvi fought the federal volunteer force us t dangerous rival to their own organiza lion. There ls no necessary unta gonlsm. Tho federal reserve is intend ed to enlist large numbers of citizen) I who would not be likely to join th guard because of its greater dcmaudE but who would be willing to go Inti training for short periods every year Such a forco has the great advantag< I of 'being subject to call at any time fo national purposes without thc posslbili I ty of a confil? t of federal and stato au 1 thority. At i ho samo time, tho Senat' bill provides for the federalization o thc National Guard as far as poesiblc The Senate mensuro commands re sp.-et OJ a pledge of thc nation's pur pose to strengthen its army and glvi offect to Its words, lt can ho made i powerful diplomatic weapon. If en actod into law at once, lt will prove ~t Germany Hint our government mean what lt says. Tho German governmon understands no argument but force. T congress creates a military force of 1. 000,000 men. there will be no mor talk of "American bluff " Wo filial have, called Gormany's bluff. And li j that seems to He the only hope, of nh faining our rights, enforcing interna tional law and Insuring peace. OLYMPIC GAMES AT .WASHINGT?1 There should be genoral support fo Representative Hulbert's bill to erec a stadium in Washington, suitable fo staging the Olympic Games. I; ls.proposed to build thc stadiur in Potomac Park, uear the Whit House and Washington's monument lu a place naturally adapted for th purpose. Tho grassy Blopes woul hold 40,000 speotatoro, accommodate on temporary scats, in addition t a seating capacity for 0,000 In the stn dlutn proper. The alto commands ? fine view of the Virginia and Murylam it'llb.i, with tho,broad Potomac rollin: betweeu, and ls as picturesque am historic u location as might be fount in tho whole .country. Tlie stadium would be used for th Army and Navy athletic games, am also as a parade ground. Thus i would have a permonant and continu Ons usefulness. Tho chief thing nov ! in the minds of the promoters, how j ever, ls tho Olympic Games. It i felt 'that they ought to be held in th? national capital. And the mea s un even , lt it lacked any other appeal would deservo support as a contrlbu tlon to the re-establishment of the in ternatlonal good feeling aftor the -war The great conflict will surely be ov or lon? before 1920. But there will ht bitter wounds to <be healed, natlona prejudices-and grudges to overcome It would be a Ano service to the wort? If the United States could bring rei rc.s entail ve a of the various powers to gether in Washington and help to wlpt , out bitter memories in friendly ant peaceful rivalry. | PROPERTY RIGHTS ANF COLOOS The attempts of St. Louis and Louis ville, Ky., to segregate their negri ! population have run . up against a lc I got snag. The &t Louts ordinance t dc pied a few weeks ago in a populai referendum, provides that no whit? man or negro may occupy property .iio a city block whore-75 percent or mun of the residents are of the other race A temporary Injunction against thc en forcemen t ; of the measure .ha? hoer ' . ? " ^ ii^ lW4M Iii m granted. Judge Dyer, in granting the inj merion, expluincd UK follow?: '"Hie question of police power ru*.. od by thc attorney for the city is sharply" drawn, but 1 believe that these' ordinance!) exceed the police powers. IA man ha? a right to occupy proper-! ty that lie owns under the laws of the United State? und the constitution." The right of any citizen to acquire I and own property, regardless of his color, has never been questioned. And If, aa the court nays, and as com mon ?cune corroborates, the owner ?hip of real estate implies the right to occupy it. municipalities that want to keep negroes out of white residence districts will have, to lind some other way to do it. A case based on the louisville ordinance ls now pending in the Kniter States supreme court, and its decision will settle the matter for good.
