One fs the purpose of a certain noisy set anxious to forward the ends of sensation and willing in that work to sacrifice altke individual and national reputation. Their only desire is to foment and spread suspicion and disorder. Such as are politicians are playing for office; THE EVENING STAR, FRIDAY, SEPTEMBER 9, 1898-16 PAGES. og such as are newspapers are playing for ircreased sales. They are for a hullabaloo at any cost to the country, asking only that it promise something for themselves. The other is the purpose of those who de- sire to see the country benefit hy an ex- pesure of obsolete methods of doing busi- ness. They are accusing nobody of crime or incompetency, for as a matter of fact they have no specific information to guide by. Neither are they asking that anybody be shielded. If crime has been committed and incompetency exhibited they want the responsibility located and the proper pun- ishment administered. But first of all, and as the main thing, they want to know what errors occurred and why, so that in future the War Department may have the benefit of the best business methods devisable. In a word they want the conduct of the war investigated, and not this or that official thrust under the harrow of partisanship or personal vindictiveness. Whether this work should be done by a special committee appointed by the Presi- dent or by Congress is of small conse- quence. The prime consideration is that it be done fairly and thoroughly. What harm could come from two investigations so con- ducted? Let experts try their hand, and then Congress, if it think it advisable to look into the matter. The country is very much interested, although in no such vio- Tent or censorious mood as the whoopers- up of sensation and acrimony are trying to make appear. The President, as usual, is keeping his head. H+ is not stampedable. No man more earnestly desires the truth brought out, nor will any man, it is safe to predict, be less injured by it when it is brought out. The truth, the whole truth and noth- ing but the truth will help the country. 2 —___ The Star and the Regiment. This paper is glad to have participated from the beginning in the consideration and sympathy for the District regiment which envelopes the entire community to- day and bursts forth in chers, in song, in martial music and in tears. When the time came for the District to contribute its quota to the volunteer army The Star | labored assiduously to secure for it the | right to send a full regiment into the field, despite the fact that from a mathematical standard the District would have been rep- resented by a battalion only, not sufficient to maintain a separate existence in the campaign. In consequence of the change of plan by the War Department authori- ties, for which The Star put forth every effort, the District’s representation in the volunteer army was enlarged, and the presence of an entire regiment at Santiago was the consequence. The Star contributed largely to supply deficiencies in the regi- ment’s equipment, and when the men in camp needed delicacies beyond the army ration The Star gave space and energy to the work of sending them means to aid them in this manner. It was the pleasure- able opportunity also of The Star to main- tain the line of communication throughout the campaign between the regiment and Washington by dispatching daily a bundle of current issues, from which the boys might read the news from their home. When the time came for the journey back to American soil this paper spared no efforts to ensure a proper reception, pro- viding for the comfort of the men at Mon- tauk and on their way to Washington, and keeping prominently before the public the thought of practical relief before and after the arrival in this city. The Star shares in the pride of the people in this fine body of young men, and it is amply rewarded for its efforts in their behalf by the enviable record which they have made. ———_~> «= —___ Compliments From High Sources. In complimenting the discipline and ap- peerance of the District regiment as {t pre- pared to break camp at Montauk Point, Gen. Shafter merely echoed the sentiments of practicaliy all the general officers who have come in direct contact with this or- ganization since it’ went into the field. Gen. Wheeler waxed enthusiastic in his comments. Gen. Bates likewise compli- mented the organization warmly. The regi- ment deserves every word of praise which has been uttered. Its business-like atten- tion to duty, its high moral tone, its free- dom from rowdyism, its excellent equip- ment, and as it emerges from the long con- tinued test its relatively high state of physical fitness all point to it as a model body of voiunteer soldiers, a type of. the citizen fighters upon whom the republic re- lies-in its emergencies. ee Good Work by Committees. The committees in charge of thé various features of today’s reception and the work ef 2xtending practical relief to the volun- teers have labored with tireless enterpri and broad sagacity from the start. They taken up the burden of Dreparation as a pleasure, and their willingn fice their time und money. u District boy d ake of the has wrought most satisfactory results. The public spirit displayed has been most gratifying and quite in harmony with th> local tradi- tons. Co-operation has marked each stage iitees" of the con endeavors, and the mo- f ali \nat nas been done has been to weicome and honor fittingly th: returning regiment.

Unhappy France. Although she herself is wholly responsi- ble, France's embarrassments are so great it 1s Impossible not to sympathize with her. The Dreyfus case alone is a very heavy burden. Revision ts clearly necessary, bift how it is to be managed Is not so clear. To confirm the sentence by another secret trial will not answer. That would leave the outside world, and even the French peopl themselves, as unconvinced as at present. A pubiie trial, the leading French officials still insist, ts out of the question. They assert that It would mean war. They do not say with what country, but popular opinion supplies the name. Germany is un- doubtedly referred to. So that, as to Drey- fus, France must take steps to clear up her good name even at the risk of another war. And right on top of this dilemma comes the disarmament proposition from Russia. The ally upon whom she has so confidently counted, whom she has clasped so hys- terically to her bosom, who has given new life to all of her martial hopes, disappoints | her in her leading expectation and makes the fervently desired recovery of Alsace and Lorraine more remote than ever.. To ly would be to immediately dissolve the alliance; to accept it, with all that it im- plies for her, would be virtually to drain a cup of the bitterest disappointment to the lees. Explanations of vital interest to France are appearing. The latest suggestion, which comes from a leading Russian Journal, is that Alsace and Lorraine be “neutralized”—be made to become an in- dependent state; a buffer between France and Germany; a European Afghanistan. This, upon its face, appears fantastical, but the fact that it comes from a Russian source and represents some Russian senti- ment must add to France's disquietude. It at least serves to show her that the hopes she has builded on retaking by force or the threat of force her two lost provinces are not to be realized with Russia's assist- ance. Yet if the other powers meet and agree upen a program of reducing military ex- penditures what will it avail France to stand out against it? Single-handed, she would not be formidable, as indeed no Bu- Topean power is today, and she would sim- ply be charging herself with continuing her expensive military establishment without prespect of reward from it. The gayest of the nations seems just now to be in the saddest of straits. ——___+ e+ ____- A Souvenir Edition. Today's edition of The Star forms an ad- mirabie souvenir of the occasion. It pre- sents a complete history of the regiment, as a whole, by battalions and by companies. It tells the story of its career in ful! detail, from a military as well as from a medical point of view. The portraits of the officers are carefully prepared and with the de- scriptive matter relating to the home com- ing and the general matter of historical in- terest it forms as complete an account of Weshirgton’s honored organization as can possibly be presented. A Weicome From the Skies, ‘The weather joins in the welcome of the citizens to the returning soldiers.
