President. Not Public. Must Act.

Frequently announcements have
been sent from Washington to the ef-
feet that President Wilson is dis.
pleased with certain stories purportine
to define his attitude regarding men or
policies. Yet. more frequently. the un.
challenged assertion goes forth that
the president win not adopt certain
obvious policies until a pronounced
public demand for them is manifest.
We have yet to hear of any reproof
from the White House for the authors
Of this latter class Of stories. But
surely they are inaccurate. The first
Democratic president inaugurated
since 1896 does not regard himself as
subject to the initiative, referendum
and recall. He does not consider him.

carry out what might have been the
will Of the people four years ago, with.

Low Marriage Age

Germany now preparing to en-

children of unwed mothers has
lowered the legal age for marri-

The war and the unprecedented

The foreign Office points out three strik

will lessen Russia's task and will afford
greater freedom of action on the left

attack; the cutting of of grain supplies
to the Austro. o.Germans, upon which the
