or their nation long impotent, even if they
should be totally crushed now, which
seems absurd to think Of. These millions
mean TO be German, as the French Of the
Revolution were determined 10 be French,
and they are equally determined TO main
tain their institutions. Europe never sue
ceeded in remaking French institutions
permanently, but the French people and
French statesmen in due course of time
recognized that France could not for any
long time dominate Europe and that the
costs of brief supremacy were beyond all
the rewards.
The present war is a war for the liber-
alton of Europe. 1t has been fought upon
this issue, and this principle must prevail.
No peace can be made with Germany until
this principle is accepted by the Germans.
And the proof of such acceptance would
be the agreement Of Germany TO the res
toration Of the conditions Of 1914, and the
further settlement by conference of the
great peris to permanent peace, such as
the question Of Alsace-L Lorraine. But if a
war for the liberation of Europe becomes
a war for the destruction of German in
situations and the removal of German rul-
ers, then we shall see a wholly different
situation, and we shall see steady change
in the sentiment and sympathy of'neutral
nations, which are now Overwhelmingly
with the Allies.
II is idle to discuss the prospects Of
peace now, when we have no clear notion
Of German proposals. Suspicious of the
German purpose we all are. Every bit Of
evidence that Is available suggests that
Germany is using a peace proposal as a
war manGuvre. If this be the case no
desire for peace, no horror Of war, should
blind any one TO the main fact, which Is
that there can be only one kind Of peace,
and that is a peace built upon the failure
Of the German purpose TO dominate Eu-
rope. Unless Germany will consent 70

Suit Is Brought to
 Test Adamson Act

Omaha, Nob., Nov. 9.-The Union Pacific Railroad Company filed suit in the federal court here yesterday 10 test the eonstitutionality of the eight-hour law recently passed by congress and known as the Adam son act. Thomas s. Allen, United States district attorney, and four Union Pacific trainmen, represent ing the different railroad brother hoods, are made parties to the de- fense.
 The bill of complaint alleges that the law is unconstitutional because it is not q proper regulation of interstate commerce, because it vio- lates the guarantees of the fifth amendment to the federal constitu- tion and because it is unavoidable as applied to existing conditions under which the trainmen are ep- erating. The bill of complaint is a printed document of considerable size and contains copies of all the schedules under which the trainmen work.
