The President's Latest llcplj
T6 our mind the cleverost stale pa
per that president Wilson has ovor
written was transmitted to Uormany
Wednesday October 23. The position
of the Prosldent is unassailable and
loaves no room for the militarists led
by the Kaiser to cloud the thinking of
the Gorman people. lit clear anil irarnt
words the President doclaros that ho
docs not feel Justified In longer ignor-
Ing tho aoloinn promises of the gov-
ernment of Germany in requesting an
armistice and hence he would trans-
mit tho request to tho governments
nllicti with the government of tho
lulled States against Germany find
If they desire to offoct ponce Upon
the turms and principles laid down
that he suggests n Boaslon ot tho mili-
tary leader of tho alliod tirmlca that
they may draft terms that will proper-
ly safeguard tho Interests of the na-
tions Involved and that they may tako
proper steps d enforce tho terms of
tho armistice and tho terms ot peace
which shall bo ngfcod upon.
Mr Wilson also very frankly In-
formed the Gorman government that
ho iloop not cousldcr that enough has
been done at this tlmo to eliminate
(ho Kalsor from the situation and that
America will Insist that the now gov-
ernment ot Germany shall bobcat and
not a sham -In order to aecuro peace;
when n'rotnrn to the old form of gov
ernment will be made. The answer
thus Btrlkea at tho tap root of nil the
trouble Germany has Caused tho world
and furnishes the remedy therefor.
It is a groat Btato paper one that will
live In history throughout tno ages
.lustk'o and mercy nro interwoven by
tho hand of a master: and still there
Is enough ot tho stem protests of an
diitrnccd nation to leave no clouut as
to tho Intention of tho wrltor that tho
prico ot peace la n now uermany a
turning nway from old ways and a
taking up of now ondoavors.
Tho answer makos poaco possible.
Not only that but It forces Germany
into action. She must now prove her
good faith or quit. Tho governments
ullled with tho govornmont of tho
United States arc also brought Into
tho negotiations and tho responsibi-
lities of tho niomontous probloma aro
distributed to thoso who have the
greatest right to sponk. Should Eng-
land and Franco and the olhor mom-
Iiotk if tlin ontante refuse to consider
tho requests of the Gorman govern-)
ment there would bo no objections on
tho part of tho government ot tho
t ulted Stato and we shall continue
to use to fullest cxtgnt the groat re-
huuicOT of' thl country In bringing
Germany to unconditional surrender.
Tho United States outorcd the con-
flirt not that alio might destroy Gor-
many but that she should help do-
fend a groat principle. Wo are not
fighting that we may seeuro more
territory not ovon an Indemnity but
that the principle that might makos
right may be defeated. and that tho
freedom of mankind may bo secure-
Germany has been guilty ofa terrlblo
sin. In the catalogue of crime there
I nothing that the Hun soldiers have
emitted lu their campaign of rrlght-
fuluoas which tho Kuiser instigated
and set going- The only thing that
saved the world from the clutches of
the nation that would enslave huuiau-
Ity and make It do IU bidding la Foeh
and his military organization and
hence there its little to excite pity for
Germany. In fact Germany must not
have an oasy peace or the blood of
the brave soldiors who have died on
tbe battlefield has been shed in vain.
On thl point however we are not
uneasy for any armistice that is
granted Germany will be arranged by
the military leaders of the allied ar-
mies und will be safeguarded so that
German militarism will bo destroyed
and the German peopls made to pay
for the erinias ihey have committed.
It is no small tiling that Germany has
don? and the people of the world may
be assured that the peace they secure
will place Germany in a position that
she must pay-ami pay well the little
nation of Belgium and Serbia along
with the ret of the nations against
whom the ha committed o grave
wrongs.

Sir. Wilson was at his best when he
drafted his latest reply to Germany.
WHAT HAS (IKIOl.VNY I.EtT TO
"STASH" WITH!
The assumption that tho retreating
Gorman armies will make a "stand
somewhere west ot the Rhine Is one
that Is likely to be accepted without
understanding of how thoy are going to
do It. It Is perhaps true that a stand
will bo made at the Slense or oise
where but it Is also certain that It
won't be by the armies now flying be
fore Marshal Fooha victorious pur
suit.
It n stand is" made it will bo upon a
prepared line and the defense of that
lino must be an army already occupy-
ing It not by the one flying to It for
rofugo. That army Is a beaten army.
It Is now executing a Tetrcat which
oven If successful will leavo it broken.
disorganized and Incapable of meeting
a foe flushed with Victory. It It reach-
es the new lino It will not even stop
there. It will be passed to tho rear to
be recruited and reconstituted and ft
fresh and unbeaten army at least one
that has not been chased must meet
the shock Of the Allied oncoming. If the
defence of the new line Is to impose
any obstacle at all.
Tho question. of the "stnnd at the
Mouse" then Is for the Germans a
question of reserves Has Germany
nny troops that have riot boon pounded
to nieces somowhoro on the western
lino? Since last July not a part ot
thrtt line has escaped mauling. There
hasn't been n period between Foch's
attacks lone enough to really rest and
properly reconstitute beaten divisions
even If tho constant pressuro had per-
mitted retirements to tho rear for that
purpose. If. then. Germany has a. rc-
scrvo army on tho new line at tho
Mouse It must have been drawn from
some other quarter. Either that or
mobilized nt homo from what nny fresh
nation wruld call Inoffcctlvcs. Ger
many hnd sonic troops In Itussla and
somo In Ilumanla. Withdrawing them
would be a dospcnUo move. Whether
that has been done or whether tho now
wostorn defense will bo mado oy im-
provised divisions the best military
bet Is that Foch wjll go qirough the
now lino as ho went through tho old
and carry the. war to thoJlhlno before
the present campaign closes unless
Gormany reports to unconditional sur
render first Kansas nty rimes.
