In every field of human
endeavOr the man or the
product that excels must for
ever live in the white light
of publicity where envy and
emulation are constantly at
work.
Whether in art, literature,
music, science or industry,
excellence brings the same re-
wards and punishment.
widespread recognition is
the reward, and the punish
ment fierce denial and detrac-
ton.
When a mans work becomes
a standard for the whole
world, it also becomes a tar
get for envious competitors.
The leader is assailed be-
cause he is a leader, and the
effort to equal him is the
proof of his leadership.
Failing to equal him the
follower seeks to depreciate
and to destroy-but only con-
firms once more the superb
Ority of that which he wishes
to supplant.
There is nothing new in
this. 1t is as old as the world,
as old as human passions
envy, fear, greed, ambition
and cOvetOuSneSS.
And it avails nothing. The
man or the product that has
in them the real qualities of
leadership remains the leader.
That which is good or great
makes itself known no mat
ter how loud the clamOr of
denial. That which deserves
to live-liveS.

THREATS MADE BY
GENERAL GONZALES
TOAssist Garranza in Retirement
Of the American Punitive
Expedition. .----

| Ell Paso, Tex, Dec. s14.-Gen. Ar
nulfo Gonzales, provisional governor
of Chihuahua, declared in his first
proclamation to the people after the
reoccupation of Chihuahua City by
Carranza troops that he would soon
be ready to join the First Chief in
forcing the retirement of the Amer
lean punitive expedition.
An original copy of the printed
manifesto, which is dated December
G, was brought here today from Chi
huahua by refugee.
Line OF Action.
Gen. Gonzales began his procla-
nation by saying that the people
have the right to know the line of
action their governors intend to pur-
sue while in office.
"The State of chihuahua" he con-
tipued, must lament the disgrace of
seeing it's sacred soil desecrated by
the proud Saxon troops, a misfor-
tune that the bandit Villa caused by
his deeds at Columbus. As these
deeds not only injure the sovereign
ty Of the State, but also of the coun-
try, it is to the central Government
that belongs the solution of this
conflict which threatens the nation
itself
1.-THE patriotic attitude of the
First Chief in the face of this la
mentable incident is well known to
all MeXicans. His forces have not
single moment ceased to work to-
ward a solution of the same by dip
lomatic ways, preserving national
pride and autonomy.
Force Retirement.
"To support this attitude in our
sphere of action will be always a
satisfaction to the Government of
this State, which may soon be ready
to unite its forces to those of the
general Government to bring about
that the forces of Pershing's punt
tive expedition, so we'll known bit
so unjustifed. may withdraw as soon
as possible from the State.''
The rest of the manifesto Gov.
Gen. Gonzales devotes to promises
of educational, financial and inter-
nal reforms and of cleaning out the
rebels.

propitious time to make a tender of
peace. The Central Powers are at
the height of their success. The
Teutonic confederation has proved
it's strength as never before. Its
armies are in France, Serbia, Rus

have strained itself to the limit, but
it has conquered. The allies of the

Louisville Courier-Journal-W
does it mean? That is the question
that will be asked on all sides at the
news of the Central Powers propos-
al for peace. It is not surprising
that they have made the proposal.
They, or Germany, which is the
same thing, have made overtures for
peace more than once before, and
the world has understood for some
time that Germans are ready and
anxious to end the war if she should
do so on terms that would not SAVIOR
of humiliation to her. The element
of surprise in her present initiative
is that she should announce her
readiness to quit on what are init
mated as terms of the restoration of
the status quo before the beginning
of the war.

eaaG2t be considered a confession
of defeat. Nor is there anything to
justify any claim of Teutonic VIC

Los Angeles Times-The Kaiser
suggests that Europe return to the
! condition that prevailed before the
war, yet no sensible student of in
ternational affairs can fail to see
that the German Foreign office has
another purpose in putting these

hopeless cause, and will make peace
at the terms of the Kaiser.
san Francisco ChrOnicle--Peace is
at last an immediate possibility.
From the heartfelt hope of the civil |
lized world it has come down to

yesterday seemed to be in the clouds

There is now every prospect that

Detroit Free Prcss--Germany's

tiation of peace terms with the al

al. Whatever may be the motives
behind it or the manner of its re-
ception its effect is likely to be dis

ly improbable that Premier Lloyd
George and Premier BRAND will ex-
hibit haste in accepting the olive
branch. Consideration of peace Of
ficially may be postponed until an
other desperate effors to win has
been made, but sooner or later the
contretempts will have to bark back
to the proposal announced today.
Philadelphia RecOrd-Peace terms
are proposed by the conqueror; they
are accepted by the vanquished. No
expressions, official or unofficial,
have escaped the allies that suggest
their disposition to assume the posi-
tion of the conquered and accept
terms from Germany, even though
they should be liberal 1t seems
more probable that the allies will
push the war until, If possible, Ger

Brooklyn Eagle-The allies of the

They have suffered too much from

the TeutOnlc aiIleS.
Baltimore American-There can
Be no doubt as to the genuineness of
the desire of Germany to bring to a
close the world massacre that has
wearied all of the nations engaged
in it. There can be no doubt as to
she readiness of the allies to come

group. The matter of world peace
under existing conditions Is too
grave for a proposition to secure
this TO be treated lightly or with
outright scepticism.
st. Paul Pioneer Press-Admit-
3edly the situation just at this mo-
ment does not lend itself to peace
probabilities. even though every
Combatant may yearn with unaffect-
ed earnestness for the end of the
strife. 1t scarcely is conceivable
that Germany. taking the initiative
and in view of her recent utter
Ances, could propose terms that
would be acceptable to the Entente
Allies.
Philadelphia Ledger - Germany
apparently is playing, not so much
For peace, as for the Cancellation of
neutral opinion. She does not ex-
pect the Allies to accept these terms,
40 one does. But by offering them
she puts upon them the responsible
ity of continuing the war. That is
Rhy her move is such a clever one.
Philadelphia Inquirer-There is
something bit sinister in the note
which the German allies have sub
snitted. 1t declares that the object
Of the peace proposals is to obtain
a guarantee of the existence, honor
and liberty when Germany forced
ihe war. A return to the statu quo
Eith Prussian militarism rampant
and in a position ever to threaten
the peace of the future would leave
everything up in the air.
New Orleans Times-PlCayune-
Allies should go slow in accepting
terms. and weigh the matter care
FULLY.
i:oston Record--The purpose OF
the peace suggestions from Berlin
today presumably represents three
directions of thought:
J. That the Central Powers have
won as much material advantage
from the war as is possible.
2. That projection OF these pro-
9osals may persuade some neutral
sentiment into more complacent re-
gard for the Central Powers aspira-
tons.
3. That dissesion may be sown
among the Entente Allies.
Louisville Herald - Germany's
peace terms are the terms of a con-
auerOr. That they will be so much
as considered by the Entente is not
Tor a moment to be believed. The
Most important consideration of all
