Even so. delays are inevitable beauae of the enormous d em an da upon the railroads and the withdraw! of men from many llnea of work.

The United States Demands an Unconditional Surrender.

THE ONLY MEANS. Th impression is o.alued that Germany will ?t cold comfort out of President W ilson's answer of last night. It would seem to many that Mr. Wilson, great dialectician and roomie as he is, treads near the danger line in discussing with Germany questions of pepce policy when as much as he has said could be demanded in two words, "unconditional surrender." The president's notes are marvels of statecraft, hut ONE DOES NOT STOP TO ARGUE WITH A MAD DOG. In his N'ew York speech of September 27 the president, characterized the German government a; the most faithless of all governments and said that he COULD NOT ENTER INTO NEGOTIATION OR COVENANT WITH IT. That was a safe principle of diplomacy, yet in directing a note of inquiry to Germany he departed from that ve;y principle. The German government is a lyin? government, a thieving government, and a murdering government, and WHO WOULD STOP TO BE SPECIOUSLY POLITE WITH A LIAR, A THIEF AND A MURDERER? There is no question that President Wilson's head and heart are right, his intention clear as crystal'; his reasoning sound as a bell, but we should have liked curter and fewer words. President Wilson never paid anything truer than these words which the world will Tiever forget : "We are all asreed that there can be no peace obtained by any kind of bargain or compromise with the Kovernments of the central empires because we have dealt with them already and have seen thorn deal with other governments that were parties to this truggle, at Brest-Litovsk and Bucharest. They have convinced us that they are without honor and do not intend justice They observe no covenants, accept no principle but force and their own interest. We cannot 'come to terms' with them. They have made it impossible." LET US HAVE NO TERMS WITH GERMANY EXCEPT UNCONDITIONAL SURRENDER.

AWAY WITH HIM.

Once more Von Hindenburg must hide his diminished head. The latest reported resignation of the chief of staff follows a heated interview with the kaiser. Of course there are as many cogent reasons for the hero of the studded statue resigning at this particular moment as for Wilhelm, once known as "Der Plotzliehe," or "The Sudden," being in a combustible frame of mind, and so the episode may be perfectly true. But it may be noted that, since the emperor's little affair with Bismarck in Dusseldorf, eighteen years ago, which culminated in the latter'a resignation, when His Majesty alleged that the Iron Chancellor "all but flung an inkFtand at my head," observers, both in and out of the Fatherland, hare been ready with the heated-interview formula whenever they judged that the imperial affections had sufficient Justification for a change, declares the Christian Science Monitor.

INFLUENZA AGAIN.

Physicians say that the influenza need not be feared if we do not become too fearful of it and if we take reasonable precautions against it. Every cold you now contract, every headache you have, every sudden rise in temperature, every sneeze, every cough and every feeling of chilliness is not. a sign that" you have the disease. If that were true there would scarcely be a man, woman or child out of-bed in the course of a week. But if you imagine one or more of these symptoms constitutes the dread disease, maybe it will. On the other hand, any of these may give rise to the suspicion but only the bare suspicion, mind youthat you are approaching influenza and so call for your taking treatment Immediately to ward off the possibility. Physicians have not succeeded in isolating the germ,

but they have figured out reasonably well the things that are conducive io its propagation and lo the spread of the. disease. Crowds ate the worst. One victim of tht disease sneezing in a company of soldiers is said to have infected about one fourth of the whole, number. Therefore if you sneeze, use your handkerchief in order that you may nor spread the disease even thoueh you may be unfortunate enough to contract it. And the physicians b,ave come to believe the ci ms may be carried on the clothing or about the person of (hose who iniiy not themselves be affected but who may have come in contact with influenza victims. Therefore if you have been around an influenza victim, do not come in contact with well persons while wearing the same clothes that oti had on when about the sick. By all means get as much fresh air and sunlight as possible and at night have your windows wide open. For that matter fresh air and sunlight are the deadliest foes of all germs find when you get into th? habit of reUing upon them as germicides you are not likely to need others. Keep your body in pood condition. Good resistance to disease is nine-tenths of the battle before ir is fought an dall of the battle while it is bcinc wasod. And don't become scared.

CHILD LABOR. Felix Frankfurter- pee, he ought to change that name chairman of the War Labor Policies Board, an nounces that the policy of the board as to child labor is as follows: No child under It vears of aee shall be employed in war work. No child between 14 and 1G years of age shall be employed more than eight hours a daj nor before 6 o'clock a. m. nor after 7 o'clock p. m., nor more than six days a week, on war materials. How does this affect the decision of the United Ptates Supreme Court on .Tune " last that the federal labor law was unconstitutional and invalid" That decision, which was even regretted b President Wilson, was received with unholy Rlee by unscrupulous manufacturers, who were described as "in a hurry to get the children back to work."

To the layman it occurs that everything bein duced today is war work.

ro

RICE PUDDING WITH PLUMS. We imported 456,000,000 pounds of rice into this country during the fiscal year 191 S. compared with about 20iroo.000 pounds in normal times under protection. As rice is a Southern product the Democrats were a little careful not to put it on the free list, as they did Northern wheat, but put a duty on it of one cent a pound, thanking goodness now, probably, that they didn't throw it into thp freP ijSt. Yet the slight cut they made must have encouraged th" Orient considerably, for the rice dealers over there have made such a drive for the American market that they are having rice riots now in Japan because the people ate sold out of their staple food However, the Southern growers have found another way to skin the cat. and they have recently succeeded in inducing our War Trade Board to prohibit further importations of rice into this country on the plea that this very nourishing and much relished article of diet take? up too much cararo space In vessels plying between the Orient and America. As we are not exacting any appreciable amount of military tonnace from Pacific cargo carriers, this plea is rather amusine, but the embargo will undoubtedly have its effect in securinc for the rice growers a larger price for their product. They can afford to shake hands with the cotton crowd, and i' is fingers to the nose for the i.orthern wheat growers.

BASEBALL WILL NOT BE MISSED. Baseball has ended what will be its last " season." for tthe duration of the war at least, and it ended in a way to emphasize all the e ils and the uttor lack of anything like real sportsmanship that always have characterized this game in its professional phase. The claim is made, probably with a fair approximation to truth, that in recent years baseball has be?n "honesf," in the sense that the players do their best to win, but. even tTiis is not always the case, according to the reports of some observers, and there is no question that the players of professional baseball habitually in dulge in talk and action inconsistent with the principles of fairness and courtesy, as those principles are understood among the players of games that are worthy of the name and have not degenerated into "business" of the sort that is meant when people say that "business is business." That phrase, as is well known, is always the excuse for doing something mean, ungenerous, or barely within the technicalities of the law. And the spirit that prevails on the diamond has spread to the occupants of the stands. They, too. treat the members of visiting nines not as competitors in an honorable struggle, but as enemies to be abused, disturbed, and confused whenever opportunity offers, and that is throughout the course of almost every game. The baseball in itself is a good frame and an interesting game nobody could deny, but as played by the professionals it is certainly a "mucker" game to a degree that is not true of any other, and the state of public morals and manners will be appreciably elevated as long as it. remains in a state of suspension. All too clearly, professional baseball has become purely a money. making scheme, and one as sordid and as ruthless as exists anywhere in the country. It does not. even produce men physically sound, for if has been found by the examining boards that strangely few of the professional players have the fitness for war that would be expected from their strength and agility on the field.

A PILLAR OF SUPPORT. It is gratifying to read in dispatches from Europe that Samuel Gorapers is uncompromising in his attitude toward the war. This is just what people who know Gompers would expect. And the announcement will be reassuring to the American people. Next to Colonel House and George Cre"I, Gompers is the man who is supposed to have, most influence with President Wilson. With Gompers an outspoken opponent of compromise, there is reason to believe that the President will not waver.

fl Open covenants of peace openly arrived at, after which there will be no private international understandings of any kind, but diplomacy shall proceed always frankly and in the public view. O 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. 0 The removal, so far as possible, of all economic barriers and the establishment of an equality of trade conditions among all the nations consenting to the peace and associating themselves for its maintenance. 4 Adequate guarantees given and taken that national armament will be reduced to the lowest point consistent with domestic safety. 5 A free, open minded and absolutely impartial adjustment of all colonial claims, based upon a strict observance of the principle that in determining all such questions of sovereignty the interests of the population concerned must have equal weight with the equitable claims of the government whose title is to be determined. 6 The evacuation of all Russian territory and such a settlement of all questions affecting Russia as will secure the best and freest co-operation of the other nations of the world in obtaining for her an unhampered and unembarrassed opportunity for the independent determination of her own political development and national policy and assure her of a sincere welcome into the society of free nations under institutions of her own choosing, and, more than a welcome, assistance also of every kind that she may need and may herself desire. The treatment accorded Russia by her sister nations in the months to come will be the acid test of their good will of their comprehension of her needs, as distinguished from their own interests and of their intelligent and unselfish sympathy. 7 Belgium, the whole world will agree, must be evacuated and restored, without any attempt to limit the sovereignty which she enjoys in common w ith other free nations. No other single act will serve as this will serve to restore confidence among the nations in the laws which tbev have themselves determined for the government of their relations with one another. Without this healing act the whole struc ture and validity of international law is forever impaired. 8 All French territory should be freed and the Invaded portions re- . stored and the wrong done to France by Prussia in 1871 in the matter of Alsace-Lorraine, which has unsettled the peace of the world for nearly fifty years, should be righted in order that peace may once more be made secure in the interests of all. 9 A readjustment of the frontiers of Italy should be effected alons clearly recognized lines of nationality. O The wishes of Austria-Hungary, whose place among the nations we wish to see safeguarded and assured, should be accorded the freest opportunity of autonomous development. HRoumania, Serbia and Montenegro should be evacuated; occupied territories restored; Serbia accorded free and secure accesses to the sea. and the relations of the several Balkan states to one another determined by friendly counsel along historically established lines of allegiance and nationality, and International guaranties of the political and economic independence and territorial integrity of the several Balkan states should be entered into. 1 2 The Turki?n Portions or the present Ottoman Empire should be J-a) assured a secure sovereignty, but the other nationalities which are no y under Turkish rule should be assured an undoubted security of life id an absolutely unmolested opportunity of autonomous development, and the Dardanelles should b permanently opened as a free passage to the ships and commerce of il nations under international guaranties. 12 An inc5cpendent Polish state should be erected which should inelude the territories inhabited by indisputably Polish populations, wrsich should be assured a free ani secure access to the sea and whose political and economic independence and territorial lntegritv should be guaranteed by international covenant. "I A A general association of nations must be formed under apecifie covenants for the purpose of affording mutual guaranties of political independence and territorial integrity to great and email spates alike.

FULL-BLOODED STOCKBRIDQE INDIAN IS NOW A FIGHTER WITH POLISH LEGION SYRACUSE. Oct. 14. Joshua Wheelbarrow, a fullblooded Stockbrld&e Indian. Is a member of the Polish Legion. John waa at the reservation when he picked up a paper and read that the kaiser had rroposed peace. For several weeks he has been anxious to get into the g-ame. but was prevailed upon to wait until the, next draft, for which he had registered. ""hen he read there waa a chance for the war ending he hustled downtown and hunted up all the recruiting- offices. But enlistments were barred. He met Pr. Earl A. Bates, a friend of every man on the reservation, and explained his dilemma to him. Pr. Bates told him to go to Split Rock, get a job In the munition plant there 'and within a fortnight he would try and arrange it so he could enlist. Joshua boarded the wrong car and instead of going to Split Rock started on a trip from one end of the city to the other. On the way he rs'!l the Polish Legion recruiting station, where an imposing- dummy, all dressed up in attractive Polish uniform, decorated the window. The uniform caught the Indian's eye. He leaped off the car, went Inside, and In fifteen minutes emerged a full-fledged Polish soldier.
