Unless all capable observers are mis taken, spring is to bring something very much like a crisis in the housing situ ation here. Many people who do not own hou.H'.s lind it impossible to be as sured of shelter because of widespread speculation in real estate held for sale t inflated prices. It seemed that a de partment of public icclfarc might prop erly centralize, co-ordinate and direct the numerous agencies established to ease this problem. That much was haid In print. Director Tustin of the Department of Welfare referred to the city charter to prove by the written word that the Department of Health is appointed to deal with matters of housing. That is true. But the charter distinctly limits it to control "relating to public health." The charter provides, too, that Mr. Tustin's department shall "have juris diction over all matters affecting pub lic welfare." If the matter of shelter Is not related to public welfare what IsV After consideration of the matter to day Mr. Tustin decided to uw) the fa cilities of his department itr an effort to mobilize the agencies best qualified to eliminate the danger of a housing crisis. Tbc director admitted that his first view of the suggestion was a bastv one and that he had decided to reverse ibis views after more mature consideration. This is well. Conscientious effort on the part of the director to meet this situation will do more to prove the worth of his new department than any other single ac tivity suggested in connection with it. It will deserve the licurty aud earnest co operation and support of every influence which can be legitimately brought to bear to prevent a widespread feeling among tne people that nobody in official position is able or courageous enough to Hianu tor tneir rights against greedy prouieers. VOTES IN DELAWARE POLITICIANS in Delaware who seem intent on preventing favorable action on the suffrage amendment when the Legislature meets in a Fpecial scs slon next Monday arc certainly choos ing n picturesque role for the state. And they arc storing tip a good deal of trouble for the Itepubllcan party as r whole, since Republicans have majori ties in the Delaware House and Senate. Thc6o majorities are actually favor able to suffrage. Uut old-line leaders in both parties wish to see action on tho votes amendment dclaed in order that the contest of 1020 may be fought on familiar ground nud with familiar weapons. Tremendous pressure is being exerted ngainst the amendment in Delaware, which happens to be tlu ouo state that can put the amendment through in time to permit women to vote for the next President. Suffrage leaders will put the blame for failure not on the Republicans of Delawnrc, but on Republicanism at large. They are ready to loose tho lightning of u charge thut may uffect (he future of 27,000,000 otes. If Delaware Iti publicans are wise in their day and generation they will Ket iu line. BOSTON TRAINS ONCE MORE NEW I1NGLANDKRS whose business brings them to this part of the country will be gratified to learn that the Pennsylvania Railroad Company, in co-operation with the New Haven com pany, will restore tho pre-war train service between Boston and Philadel phia ttntl enlarge it. New trains will lie run orr the Hell Gate bridge in New 1(rv instead f by the roundubout way uter the I'ough krepsie bridge or the dangerous way over the river from Harlem on flouts to the Jersey shore.

WRIGGLING GERMANY DOES THE WORLD A SERVICE Her Insolent Revolution Reveals the Folly of "Softness" and the Need of Executing tho Treaty TUB .Tuukcr revolution in Berlin is proof that, as ever, Germany loves peay- peace on her own terms. Her devotion to this ideal has been con sistent, before the war, during the con flict, since the armistice. Tbut circumstances have Interfered with tbe realization is a fact which casts no imputation on Teuton logic. The impudent proposals made to the Allies by the central powers on Decem ber 12. 11110, differed greatly in details but not at all in spirit-from the inter pretation of the present situation as volunteered by tlcneral Baron von I.uettwitz. the new minister of defense. who promies the execution of such terms ot luc treat ot crsaillcs as are -just." Tne intimation that Germany once more 'topes to translate morality into her ovn detestable terms is as plain as her utter unfitness for the performance. "My right is the right," declared Max Stirncr, apostle of "Individual Anar chism." This is the German militarist doctrino stripped of hypocrisy. When surrendered necessity alone has been tbc repressive ugcut. Philosophers, well -meaning vision aries, broad - minded statesmen, "cranks," ordinary human beings with an innate disposition to be kindly have for sixteen mouths freely expressed the view that the forces of compulsion brought to bear on Germany were suffi ciently severe to insure her good be havior. But, unfortunately, tho German ne cessity barometer is of an altogether different mnku from the one standardized eNewhere iu the world. Inaccurate registrations prompted the sinking of tho Lusitnuta. Such savagery was need less, iufumously futile, yet it wus Ger man 'h belief, and it perhaps still is, that extremity drove her to the deed. The existing delusion, though based ou false readlugs, is of another order aud is probublj the direct consequence of a characteristically Teutonic misinterpre tation of opportunity. Such cleverness ns is revealed is likely to prove terribly costly. It must, however, be udtnitted that recent events have seemed to favor the reorganization of unregencrate inilu enecs in Germany intent upon repudi ation by whatever means possible of tbc treaty of Versailles. Criticism of some of the deservedly drastic provisions of that Instrument has been carried to ex tremes of blind sentimentality. Professor Keynes has wept scientific tears over the "harshness" of the eco nomic clauses. Pity, like u new-born babe and just about as helpless to rope with realities, has been lavished upon the nation who obloquy is not mor ally extenuated because major manifes tations of it occurred a few years back. Anal sis and freedom of discussion are proper concomitants of civilization, but it is esseutiul ulso that tbey should be regardful of circumstances. The hair-splitters in the Senate have riveted their attention upon domestic politics. Mr. Wilson has reciprocated. Partisanship and abstractions have cou fused tho real issue in Britain. France, almost alone of the Allies, bus thought clearly about licnnan tinregeneracy. Italy has been engrossed iu the Flume lUtigeut. The victors in the world war have de veloped self-criticism to the point of a disease; Imperialism in some quarters to the point of a danger; indifference, as in the United States, to the point of folly ; jealousies to the point of disrup tion. Tho result is n medley of cross purposes, some good in principle, some bad, but in combination highly stimu lating to the German view of oppor tunity. The Teuton is at once learned and superficial. He would not be acting "iu character" did bo not tigroid in the existing tangle of motives analogies with the plight of that earlier group of allies in the Congress of Vienna in 1814-15. The shortsighted blunders of that memorable conference made possi ble the return of Napoleon from his eleven mouths' exile m Klba and the revival of imperialistic France. That Waterloo followed is a fact which the Junker elements iu Germany may for the moment be inclined to overlook. What is doubtless alluringly visible to them now is u parallel seemingly sus ceptible of being capitalized to ad vantage. But wbntcver their hopes, re-enactment of the drama of the Hundred Days is impossible. Kven If Germauy were united in support of the revolu tionary government, which nppcars not to In- the euso, (Germany Is at tho mere of lier iniiqiierors. An advance hi wind tin Kline provinces would al most unquestionably prov.c u salutary lessou in reulltles. There arc sufficient troops available to mako an impressive display and Foch is already in May ence. The British fleet could also serve as a wholesome corrective instrument. Access to north German porta is vary uow. All tho submarines have been surrendered, ull tbc mines removed. Whether such a demonstration will bo uceosrary is dependent upon two things: the success of the Junker move ment, including its ability to cope with liberal opposition, and tbc attitudo of tbe new government upou the peace treaty. As au independent nation theoreti cally at peace with all the world ex cept the United States, Germany has sovereign rights to set up any form of government which pleases her. The Allies under the peace treaty "public ly arraign William Hohenzollern." It is unthinkable that tbey would per mit the tettiri) of him or his dynasty to the German throue, but apart from this special ease autocracy or republic iu Berlin is a matter to be determined ut home. Execution of the treaty Is another affair. Mid It Is consoling Uiat the peril. ou3 penou or mawmsii indecision m a hopeful possibility that Germany has once more done those whom she sought to embarrass au excellent turn. A re call to fuels was seriously needed In certain European chancelleries, In tho Whlto House, in the halls of Congress. Any German attempts to wrlgglo out of the treaty now should be met by tho adoption of a hew policy of vigor. The sane vision of France is justified. 'She has been warning her allies ever since the opening of the Paris conference. Tho unity of purpose which armed tho crusaders of civilization In the black days of 1018 must he Invoked to call to account a nation treacherous in peace as in war. Softness to Germany has awakened In her not gratitude but Inso lence Severity may temporarily seem to exalt such reactionary forces among ourselves and our former associates. We would gladly dispense with such In fluences. Yet if we suffer from them the result will be a penalty for our errors. Our paramount duty Is to tho dead. To them wo owe enforcement of the treaty 'consistently and without weak ness. It appears to have been tho Ger man hope that vc had forgotten our sacrifices. That must never be. THE REAL WATER CRISIS THE thrcateued strike of the emptoves of the Water Bureau has been called off. But this was but one of the water problems to be considered by the Mnyor. The strike would have been only a temporary incident. The npparent shortage In tbc water supply, however, cautiot be removed so quickly nor so easily. We say "tbe apparent shortage. " for the actual amount pumped into the mains every tiny is more than enough to provide all the water that cau possibb bo consumed by the population, with a surplus large enough to supply at least half a million more people. Boston and New York get along with a llttlo more than 100 gallons n day for each inhabitant. Philadelphia uses 160 gallons a day. On the basis of con 'sumption of New York aud Boston this city has supply enough for u city of about 3,000,000 population. Yet for the past two or three years there has been much talk about tho necessity of impounding water in the mountains at n great distance from tbc city in order to increase the supply. Mayor Moore himself is considering plans for some such enterprise. It will take several million dollars and several years to put any such en largement of thp storage reservoirs into effect. If consumption continues at the present rate an actual shortage will be upou us before the new supply can be made available. Wiiat is needed now is the adoption of some plan for conserving the supply we already have. Every one at all fa miliar with tbc situation admits that there is a wicked waste of water some where. Whether it is in the mains or whether it is in the leaky fixtures in the houses and factories and office build ings is immaterial. The wastage is ad mitted, and it is commonly believed that both leaky fixtures and leaky mains are responsible. The suggestion lias frequently been made that meters be installed in every building, but for some inscrutable rea son it has never been ncted upou. Yet it is the simplest remedy avai'able. It would check waste at once by touching the pocket nerve of every consumer of water. He would at once repair his plumbing and see to it that there were no dripping faucets nnd no faucets that could not be shut off, for every gallon of water running to waste would cost him money. After the meters were installed it would be possible to estimate the amount of water wasted through leak age from old mains and steps could b taken to repair the worn-out conduits If we ore not to have an acute water famine something of this kind will have to be done whether we go to tbe moun tains for on enlarged supply or not. Aud if it is done we mnj discover that our present supply Is so large that the expenditure of millions on new storage reservoirs can be postponed until it is possible to build the reservoirs nt peace time prices instead of ut prices iu Hated by tbe war. LLOYD GEORGE'S LATEST THE announcement that Lloyd George is planning to put bimelf at the head of a new National Democratic party in Great Britain is no more sur prising to those who have been follow ing European affairs than was the seiz ure of the Berlin government by the military. Both developments have long been expected. Party lines were broken down in Great Britain during the war. Lloyd George beaded a coalition ministry composed of Liberals and Conservatives. The old parties ceased to fuuetion. Tbc general election held after the armistice was signed, in 1018, resulted in a vic tory for the coalition and a mandate to Lloyd George to make tho terms of peace at the end of the war which his ministry had carried to a successful conclusiou. Mr Asqultb was defeated at that election lie became a candi date at u b -diction a few weeks ugo and wus returned to Parliament us a Liberal. His sin cos was hailed as tbe beginning of an effurt to rehabilitate the old Liberal party us u separate or ganization in preparation for tho break ing up of the coalition ministry. Now comes Lloyd George with a plan for a National Democratic party in which be apparently hopes to assemblo all tbc Conservatives, Liberals and La bor party voters who are displeased with the old party alignments and are ready to combine to put over a pro gram of progressive legislation. There is little doubt that his real purpose Is to dish the Lubuc part bj appropri ating to himself all the feusible items in its program. This is an old trick in British politics, a trick played for years by tho Tories, who allowed the Whigs to endure all tbe opprobrium Involved In breaking ground for reforms and then when the country was ready for tbe reforms would iudorsc them as though they had first thought of thorn. The Tories would wiu b tbeso tactics und the outinaucuvcred Wbigs would bite their Augers iu uuger at the opportun ism of their oppoueuts. Lloyd George is the most consummate opportunist In public life today, either in Europe or America, And there la no moro unscrupulous politician In high office, ne reverses himself as easily as though bo vera a wcathervane, and bo far as be can discover the way the wind Is blowing be will adjust himself to profit by tho bicczes. l'erhups llollund by and by will wish she had gut rid of the ex-kaiser.

German Counicr-Iicvolution Ilaa Made Voeh the ttero of the Hour in Paris THE German counter-revolution has made Foch the hero of the hour at Paris. Where would France be, thinkit the populace, if she bnd listened to Wilson instead of to Foch? The Pence Conference was Wilson against Foch to n degree that has never been sumciently cmphnslzcd. When the crowds of Paris hailed Wilson as the savior of mankind Clcmcnccau had one card to play, Foch. Whatever Foch said was necessary for the defense of France Paris would listen to. So whenever it came to be a question of what should be done to make France safe from invasion from across tho Rhine, it was always Foch whom Wilson had to overcome. Aud in the end the victor of the Mnmc proved to be the victor of Paris, for Foch 'was ns hard n foe to Wilson ns he had been to the Germans. And among the resentments of tho Fence Conference the President carried away none sharper than that he bears toward the marshal of ranee. Toward Clcmenceau the President probably has no ill-will; no feeling, perhaps, except liking for him as a man, pity for his old age and tbe hardening of, his intellectual arteries and contempt for his spiritual blindness and skepti cism. Clcmenceau was n nol tician. knew how to light and wiu while leaving no bitterness. His remark to ilou. "lou have n heart of steel!-' was the diplomatic masterpiece of the conference. i q i i POCH'S contribution to tie peace wos the holding by the Allies of the west bank of the Rhine, under n mili tary tenure that was left indefinite and, with events turning as they now nrc, is likely to become perpetual. The insistence upon it. the insistence upon a strong Poland, the nllianccs in southeastern Europe were nil defensive moves on France's part. They gave occasion to the President's recent charge of militarism against France. But arc purely defensive measures militaristic in the Prussian sense of the word? Tbe people of France themselves arc certainly far from militaristic. At the moment the President made his charge the nation was if the Ger man revolution does not upset it ull on the point of cutting her compulsory military service term dovvu from three years to two years, and perhaps to one. And the government, to make even that degree of training acceptable to the people, bad to disguise it more or less by calling it "physical education and instruction iu sports." q q J I S FOCH himself militaristic? There is a stor.v told that when Clcmenceau approached him with the suggestion that be be placed in supreme command Jie replied. "I um not the man ou Want. I am a royalist and a Catholic. France is republican nnd nntl. Catholic." His writings aud his interviews shon almost a strain of m.vstieism in him, something like the strain of mysticism thnt developed in the President when transported by the fervor of his belief in the League of Nations. Foch always scorns tho brute force of the Prussian militarists and insists that war is won by ideas and ideals. Tbc story of him just told may be apocryphal, but there is a true story of him that shows how he subordiuatcd himself to the saviug of France. After the defeat of the allied forces was right. He kept telling me that the Germans were aiming their blow at Chcmiu des Dames. I thought they would strike further north (where, in fact, tbey delivered their third great offensive), nnd I prepared accordingly. No commander hns a right to make such a mistake as that." Clenienceau replied. "Every general is entitled to make one big mistake." q q q PHILIP GIBBS, in bis book on the great war, indicates that there was hardly a general of genius in It. A re viewer recalls having asked him about this when he was in this country. Gibbs replied. "Well, perhaps Foch; he did the trick twice, you know." Gibbs's opinion is that war is a mass of blun ders out of which somehow victory emerges. , Thnt was Tolstoy's opinion, who de voted endless chapters In his colossal novel, "War and Peace," to prove that Napoleon was u great blunderer, whose luck deserted him on the way to Moscow. The Russian general who onnosed Napoleon, Tolstoy thought the greatest man, because lie seemed to nave a seuso of how pitiful it thing was strategy and tactics and how tremendous were the forces of fate and nature. q q q PEACE bath its blunders no less than war. and men will debate till the end of time us to which was the blun der of Paris tho failure to follow Wil son consistently or the failure to follow Clemeuceau iuu loch without reserva tions. Mr. Wilson's partisans will say mili tarism at Paris has borne fruit In mili tarism ut Berlin. Those of the other school will say, "Sec tbc folly of Wilson's belief that the world can lay down its urns; in front of Germany." q q q MR. BRYAN is not a candidate for the Democratic nomination for the presidency, but will accept tbe nomina tion if circumstances require him to do so. Therein be Is in agreement with Mr. Hoover. Mr. McAdoo. Governor Ed wards, cx-Hpeukcr Champ Clark and a whole host oi otners, who wait upon the crooklug ot the lurcuuger of futc. And he screes, too. with President Wilson, who thinks that nobody should have his territorial integrity guaranteed by Instructions to delegates until San Francisco la reached. Rome one Bummed up the Democratic national situation by saying that the party was "trusting to God to nominate, and to booze to elect." All except Attorney General Palmer, lie is trusting to the Democrutlc ma chine, bometlmes called the people, to nominate, ami 10 com water 10 elect.
