In his western speeches Hr. Hughes
has repeatedly criticised in a general
way, President Wilson for his lack Of
Americanism. If Mr.. Wilson is not a
stalwart defender of his country's
right, why are the American agents
pf certain foreign powers doing ev-
.erything they possibly can to defeat
President Wilson and elect Mr..
Hughes? Does anyone believe that
The sympathizers with foreign coun-
tries would now be striving to elect
Mr.. Hughes if they thought that he
would maintain American rights as
resoultely as the President has? Let
Mr.. Hughes state specifically what he
would have done in a different man
nersthan it has been done by Mr.. Will
son When Mr.. Hughes does this the
electors will be able to judge the
Americanism of each candidate and
the Americanism which they prefer.

NO END IN SIGHT TO EUROPES
GAME OF DEATH.

For the past few weeks the entente
allies have gained more or less or
every front, yet their gains are not
sufficient to warrant a, reasonable
hope for peace in Europe this year
It looks as though the game Of death
would be continued for at least anoth-
er year, because the nations that are
fighting Germany cannot afford to
sign peace treaty at the present time,
even though Germany should offer to
give up every foot of territory now
held by that country in Belgium,
France and Poland. A peace treaty
on those terms, and better terms
could not be hoped for at the present
time by the entente allies, would
leave Germany in control Of Constan-
tin(ple, the Balkan states and Aus
tria The kaiser's dominions would
e4tHud from the Rhine to the Bos-

plosdns and on into Asia Minor. With
these positions consolidated Germany
would be in easy striking distance Of
the suez canal and British India. And
such an extension Of German power
would, in all probability, defer for
hundreds Of years realization of the
desires of Russia for seaport on the
Mediterranean.
Constantinople is the key to Egypt
and northern Africa, and in the hands
of nation like Germany, it would

II given time to consolidate their

for such an outcome. Neither do re-
cent battles give much assurance that
the entente allies will be able to

her allies. Thee battles do, howev-

The diplomacy Of European rulers
failed, and their countries are being
scourged by war of the most terrible
and devastating character. The diplo-
macy of President Wilson succeeded
and his country is peaceful and pros
porous. If the American people are
not satisfied with what he has accom-
plished and retire him from the pres
idency at the end of his present term
and war follows as the result Of a
change in our diplomacy, the Amer
lean people will have no one to blame
but themselves. The man who can
hold his country inside the lines of
peace when the world is war mad,
should not be displaced at this critical
period in the history of the world.
Since the foregoing was written a
great change has taken place in the
Balkans. King Ferdinand of Rouma-
MIA, a German prince. has entered the
war on the side of the entente al
lies. He probably concluded that he
did not want Roumania to become a
German province, as it undoubtedly
would be, in the event Of German sue
cess.
This action on the part of Roumania
vastly improves the strategic position
Of the entente powers. Russia can
now march her armies across Rou-
mania and strike at the connecting
line between Germany and Constanti-
nople. And Greece will probably be
forced to do as Roumania has done.
With Roumania's assistance Turkey
may be entirely cut off from the Gen.
trail Powers and fall an easy prey to
the Russians.
