THE PRESIDENT’S TERMS

In his speech to congress yesterday the President put the terms of peace up to tbe German people. There is not the slightest chance that they will be accepted by the German government. For the demand is for the restoration <>f all territory acquired by Germany's raid on her neighbors, reparation for the wrong done to France in the seizure of Alsace-Lorraine, an I a substitution qf the question of the disposition of Germany's Art.can colonies to the people who inhabit them. Italy would, under these terms, get a part of her lost territory, the Dardanelles would be free and neutralized, and the Balkan problem would be settled on lines of nationality and race. All Russian territory held by Germany would have to be evacuated—this as a matter of course. And there must be a free and independent Poland. Belgium would. again be a free, independent and sovereign power. The President demands:

emis Made Well By FE.l<ursiA

■— I Mr. William E. Denny, 1023 Park Ave., Springfield, Ohio, writes: "I find great pleasure in writing you and thanking you for what Penina has already done for me. I have been troubled with catarrh for years, and it had affected my head, nose, throat and stomach, that I could not eat nor sleep with any satisfaction. | “I have just taken three bottles.' "I can eat inost anything and am greatly relieved of nervousness, so that when 1 lie down I can sleep without the least trouble, pl recommend it -to all those who are sufferers of that dreadful disease, catarrh.”

Open covenants of peace, openly arrived at after Which there shall be no private international understandings of any kind, but diplont acy shall proceed always frankly and in the public view. Absolute freedom of navigation upon the seas, outside territorial waters, alike in peace and in war, except as the seas may be closed in whole or in part by international action for the enforcement of international covenants. The removal, so far as possible, of all economic barriers and the .establishment of an equality of trade conditions'among all nations consenting to the peace and associating themselves lor its maintenance. Adequate guaranties giver, and taken that national armaments will be reduced to the lowest point consistent with domestic safety. Tho President has, we feel, gone to the limit in this offer. There is no suggestion of reparation for trhe' frightful crimes of which Germany has been guilty, and no suggestion of the exclusion of the Hohenzollerns which was first made by the President- —from the peace council. In our opinion both these points should be insisted on. But, though the Potsdam gang has not been ruled out directly, it has been by necessary implication. For there could be no “open covenants of peace’’ entered into with the present German government that would be of any value. The President. makes the point even more clearly in the following words: We have no jealousy of German greatness, and there is nothing in this program that impairs it. We grudge her no achievement or distinction oft' learning, or of pacific enterprise such as have made her record very bright and very enviable. ' We do not wish to injure her or block in any way her legitimate influence or power. We do not wish to fight her either with arms or with hostile arrangements of trade, if she is willing to associate herself with us and the other peaep-lpving nations of the world in covenants of justice and law and fair dealing. We wish her only to accept a place of equality among the peoples of the world—the new world in which we now live-—in-stead of a place of mastery. Neither do we presume to suggest to her any alteration or modification of her ’ institutions. But it is necessary, as we must. frankly say, and necessary as a preliminary to any intelligent dealings with her on our part, that we should know whom her spokesmen speak for when they speak to us, whether for the reichstag .majority or for the military party and the men whose creed is imperial domination. Perhaps the issue is made in these words with sufficient clearness. It is fair to assume that we should listen to no spokesmen in whom we did not have confidence,

to none who did not fairly represent a converted German people. The world will note that the American President and the British prime minister are in substantial agreement, which is as it should -be. The entire concord between the great American republic and the British empire in regard to these great world questions is fraught with blessings to humanity. The question for the German people to answer is whether they desire that Germany should be a member of a great family of nations in a new world order, or an outcast among states. Perhaps they may conclude that universal ostracism is too high a price to pay for the “boon’’ of Hohenzollern rule. The effect of the President’s speech in Russia — and he evidently had his eye on that country-—ought to be good. It also should serve still further to excite dissatisfaction —already acute —in Germany with the existing government. At any rate the Germans now have a clear and specific statement of peace terms. What will they do with them’—Wednesday's Indianapolis News.

PUBLIC PRINTING

The government will buy during! this fiscal year, according to estimates of the public printer, 100,-| 000,000 pounds of paper for printing, costing about $4,000,000. In normal years only about 28,000,000 pounds has been used of all grades of paper. The book paper alone purchased this year will exceed that amount. The war department estimates that it will require $3,000,000 the coming year for printing, which is ten times the amount ordinarily used. No objection will be made to the amount of paper used or printing done if it is necessary. But the public has a right to expect that with the vastly increased expenditures every effort shall be made to cut out the unnecessary and the wasteful. Enormous sums spent for government work in connection with the war do not justify, as some seem to think, carelessness and waste in their expenditure. The great drains being made on the people are the most potent reasons for economy wherever possible. Criticism of the government for waste in connection with printing has been almost continuous for years. Hundreds of tons of useless matter is printed each year and sent out under congressional frank to glut the mails. Efforts to remedy this abuse along with the. “free” seed abuse and other extravagances have been unavailing because the congressman hangs on to his perquisites with bulldog tenacity. He ought to be made to let go now as a matter of patriotism. There have been evidences in years past that the whole business of government printing needed reforming. There are greater reasons for beginning this now than ever and more of a chance that something can be done. The joint committee on printing has taken a step in the right direction by ordering the printing of the Congressional Record and congressional documents On thirty-five pound instead of for-ty-pound paper, thereby saving, it is calculated, about $200,000 for the year. This should be only a first step toward greater economy.

GERMAN SHIPPING

The Kaiser cannot win. His government recently appropriated three hundred million dollars to help rebuild the merchant fleet which, in July, 1914, was second only to England’s. But, unless the odium that now rests on the German name is removed by an acceptable peace he had better save his money. There will be no market in North America, South America, Asia and Africa for the Lusitania brand of German dyes, or the Deported Belgians electrical goods or the Edith Cavell cutlery. . .. A highly evolved industrial country like Germany, dependent upon foreign trade for its prosperity, cannot live in a world that hates it. The blockade of Germany does not depend upon the Western Front, or even upon the Allied fleet. It is something that no military power can batter- down. It can be lifted only ’by. a German reformation of such sort that the resources -of. the country shall never again be at the arbitrary disposal of the irresponsible government that trampled Belgium. ' Undoubtedly many intelligent Germans know this. They know that the country’s industrial organization is progressively disintegrating; that it can never be rebuilt without the good will of the world. They know that if German trade is outlawed and boycotted throughout the British Empire, America and Asia, precarious possession of some thousands of square miles of devastated territory, whose inhabitants

detest their Prussian masters, will be a poor offset. , There is no way out for Germany save through an acceptable peace.—Saturday Evening Post. • This country had as well wake up to thq fact that Russia is definitely out of -the running: The; blow is a staggering one to the 4 allies, but should not be the causel of despair or even undue pessimism. While her defection gives the German arms much needed re-j lief, yet this country is ready now! to step into the breach she has! left-- And unless all signs fail wej shall be occupying that place byj the tirtie spring opens. Then' again, with the acquisition of Rus-! sia Germany will probably acquire' more of a liability than an asset. 1 That country will be in the throes, of civil war for years to come, and will not cease to be a menace to the .Germans. Armies must be maintained to watch her closely, or even to interfere in her internal troubles. Viewed in the light of common sense, it would appear that the allies have lost a treacherous ally and gained one of proven loyalty. It undoubtedly will require a greater effort and longer time to gain the victory than would have been the case had Russia remained true, but we will win. This country is soul and body in to win, and she has yet to taste defeat. ,

Son-in-law Nicholas Longworth says of the proposition to tax congressional salaries: “The force that camipels us to comit tjiis atrocity is fear for our own political skins.” Yes, and the imlitical skin that harbors a nature capable of characterizing the proposed tax as an “atrocity’’ should be promptly removed and hung on the fence to dry.

If Mary's little lamb continues to grow in favor and financial value, it is destined to seriously interfere with the activities of the mongrel cur. The counttry is already looking askance at the latter.
