Belgium and Serbia.
Just one other sentence OF his
speech about which l wish to say a
word. and that is the declaration that
the peace must be a peace without vic
tory. Now 1 sympathize with that. But
the peace that the President describes
involves the absolute destruction and
abandonment of the principles upon
which this war was begun. 1t doesn't
say Serbia it doesn't say Belgium
but there the chosen head of the Amer
lean people has declared the principles
OF the American democracy in unmis-
taxable terms; has declared for the in
dependence and equal rights of all
small and weak nations; has declared
for a Monroe doctrine of the whole
world p~recluding all nations from in
terfering with the Independent control
of it's own affairs by every small ma
of other nations: from attempting to
exercise the coercion of superior power
over other nations: for disarmament,
for the reduction of these mighty armies
and navies. And every word of that
declaration. which I believe truly rep
re Jents the conscience n judgment of
the American people. d~enounces the
sacrifices of Belgium and of Serbia and
the principles upon which they were
made.
Now one side of that is the declara-
ton that peace must be without victo-
ry. Suppo.e that peace cannot be mace
without victory. which is the superior?
Which Is to obtain? OF course. if tn
great peace that enthrones the world
principles of individutl Iib"rty and ra-
tional right. and national subsection to
the law of morals can BE- obtained
without any further military pressure,
then. thank God for it. But If il can
not be obtained without such further
military pressure as to end in victory,
then let us pray for the victory.

theory that it was case of good
radiance" officials admitted here,
Capt. Hans Tauscher, who was repre-
sentins the Krupp interests in this
country, was furnished with safe
conduct to return to Germany with
Count Won Bernstorff.
II was because OF q similar desire
to rid the country of men who nave
been actively identified with alleged
German plots, it was indicated, that
safe conduct was also obtained by the
department for Wolf Won Igel VINO

military attache of the German EN-
bassy, whose recall was demanded
some time ago by the United States.
Capt. Tauscher was acquitted of the
charge made against him Of conspir-
ing to blow up the Welland Canal
Won ~Igels was under $4,000 bail for
trial on the same charge, but at the
suggestion of the Washington author
tiles the bond was cancelled by the

man was permitted to sail.

O. safe conduct from the State De-
partment the same as the other men,
bers Of Count Won Bernstorff's party.
MY mother and I went to the pier to

said. "He has the same guarantee as

Capt, TAuscher dropped out Of the
public eye after his acquittal on a
charge Of conspiring with Wolf Won
Igel, an attache Of the German EN-
bassy, and others to blow up the Wei
land Canal in Canada. The Won Igel
indictment was quashed just before
the Frederik VIII sailed and the $780,
600 bail bond given for his appear
ance in court was vacated. It was
known that he had been included ir
