chise to all the women Of the United

we believe women who really want
the right TO vote will do much better
TO follow the example Of New York
sui1ragists and work for the desired
end by proper methods and by a fond
devotion to their country in these try
ing times and an assumption of their
full share Of wars burdens, than to
become suffragetts Of the militant type,
like the Washington agitators.
BY the way, a number Of the Wash
lngton "pickets' have now been re-
leased from jail and more, Of course,
received with more OF less enthusiasm
by their friends. It is said they have
planned to return to jail asking to visit
their friends whose sentences have not
yet expired, and, II not allowed TO do
this, to ride up and down in automo-
biles outside the Jail, calling to the
prisoners. IL Is difficult 20 see what
good will be accomplished by this ex-
cept TO brand themselves as nuisances
Every cause, however good has to have
extremists.
New York will make the twelfth
State to have universal suffrage and
six have partial suffrage.

SHAME ON YOU, GOVERNOR.

From the Elkton Wing.
We want to express our disgust at
the style Of campaigning in which
Governor Harrington INDUCED last
week. At a Democratic rally IN Hyatts-
Vile his language Is reported as fol-
lows:
The only issue in the campaign is
whether the people, irrespective Of
politics, should uphold the hands Of
President Wilson In his efforts to bring
Victory TO American arms and end the
greatest conflict in the history Of the
world. II would be a damnable COM
mentary upon the course OF President
Wilson and the administration should
the people Of Prince Georges county,
In the very shadow Of Americas great
capitol, turn down the Democratic
nominees and elect the Republican
State and county ticket. I do not be-
lieve that the peIIle OF Maryland are
going to condemn the President and
his colleagues In this their hour Of
trial by defeating the candidates in
whom he cannot but feel interested"
IL is hard to find printable language,
or even parliamentary language, in
which to express ones indignation
with such talk as that at time when
all men, irrespective of party. are 10y
ally and large-heartedly supporting the
National Administration In its war-wag-
ing policies. The Republicans N Congress
have been conspicuous for their pa
triOtic non-partlsanship. The Republican
State Convention Of this State declared
in It's platform 1.-THE Republican par
ty pledges Itself 10 sustain the Com
mander-in-Chief Of the Army and Navy
the President Of these United States"
In the face Of all this what must one
think Of the Governor Of State who
will try to mix up the issues Of a
purely local election with the great,
grave problems that face us as Ma
tlOn, and which calls for unity of pur-
pose and harmony OF spirit.
We say, and say with righteous in
dlgnatlon, shame on you, Governor
Harrington

TO Europe, 70 the Allied nations now
lighting Germany, who have grown
weary With the struggle. The voice OF
America is the voice OF the President.
1t calls for new effort and II gives
fresh assurance that all the power, all
the resources, of this great Repub-
lie are enlisted, not for a day or O
year, not TO attain a white peace or
a negotiated adjustment, good as long
as German strength Is inferior TO Ger
man ambition, but achieve peace
which shall endure because II II found
ed not upon scraps Of paper" but
upon the fact Of German defeat.
There is only one end to this wae
possible. There is only one peace that
can endure. Just as long as a strong
German military power holds to the
doctrine that its sword Is the ultimate
power in the world. that its appetite
and its ambition are the moral law and
gospel all peaces will he illusory and
every interruption OF hostilities q mere
truce.
Whatever of suffering, Of sacrifice,
Of endurance there Is before. us, we
have no choice. There is one thing and
only one thing that we can do, and
that Is to Join with the other civilized
nations Of the world in lighting Ger
man barbarism so long as German bar
barism assails with arms in its hands
the liberties not Of one nation, not OF
one continent, but OF mankind.
In one Of the greatest crises OF hui
man history, at a time when temper
airy depression is creeping IN and the
German agent is seeking TO use the
spiritual weakness Of the foe TO serve
his own material ends, The President
Of the United States has done suptem
ly well in speaking for his country to
Europe, in speaking as the leader OF
his countrymen TO them, and In stat
ing the sober, unmistakable facts Of
the present hour His speech Is a call
TO battle. Il will be heard not merely
in London and Paris aud Rome. but II
viii be heard also in Berlin which un-
derstands no other language. Not
since the European War began has Mr..
Wilson spoken with so much Of au-
thority. He has asserted his leadership
in his own country and he has pointed
the way to that victory which cen be
lost by the nations lighting Germany
only il their spirits are weaker than
their weapons and their resolution less
than their opportunity.

The PRESIDENT
lFrom The New York Trlbunel.

a single sentence In the address OF
the President yesterday sets forth the
american point Of view with reference
70 the war more succinctly, more clair
Voyantly, than all that has been said
before, officially or unonlcially. The
President said:
You will notice that sent a friend
Of NINE, Colonel House. 10 Europe who
Is as great lover of peace as anv
man in the world; but l did not send
nlll on peace mission. sent him
TO take part In conference as 10 how
the war was to be won. and he knows.
as / know, that this is the way TO get
peace, If you want IL for more than a
few minutes"
Mr.. Wilson's full address should DO
read with care by his fellow citizens.
10 sets forth conditions both Of war and
OF peace as they exist. Those who seek
TO attain q peace by negotiation In adj
vance OF a decision upon the battle
field, whatever their motives, are SER
wants Of German supremacy now and
hereafter in this world Those who
seek to interrupt the language OF the
guns with the chatter OF the paclnst
and the futillty OF the ldeallst are
more valuable to the German autocracy
than Hindenburg and Mackensen com
bined
The time 10 discuss the terms Of
peace Is when the German menace has
been destroyed. So long as German
military power can point 10 victories
and possessions the German spirit OF
domination in the world will endure.
Until the world can prove TO the
Germans that the dream Of world dom
nation is idle and empty they will
cherish 10, and their policy will be
founded upon the bedrock Of foreign
conquest and German supremacy.
Mr.. Wilson has done well in calling
to his own countrymen's attention the
conditions not Of European peace. but
OF world peace. not Of peace in Europe.
but OF peace in all the world. Between
the German idea and our American idea
there can never be permanent peace.
because the German idea is destruc-
tive Of all that we hold to and believe
In and have sought TO establlsh-the
gospel Of liberty, which permits the
people to choose their own form OF
government and nominate their allie

THE SUPREME MILITARY
DIRECTION OF THE WAR.

DIRECTION OF THE WAR.
From the New York Sun.
Political objects dominating the mill
tary strategy OF the Allies have too
long enabled Germany TO win victories
In the Held
Russia pressed forward in the Car
pathians toward the Hungarian plain
when she should have been driving
forward through East Prussia.
Great Britain made a gallant failure
at the Dardanelles.
France. in the earliest days Of the
war, occupied parts Of Alsace; and
nearly lost Paris.
Italy followed the dictates Of politics
rather than the recommendations OF
military experience In her Austrian
invasion.
Rumanla made the mistake Of enter
ing Pennsylvania because Pennsylvania
was her "unredeemed' soil.
Germany has not made these blum
ders. She committed unheard OF crimes,
but she made no military error in
selling and consolidating Belgium, Ser
hia, Poland and part Of Rumania.
It was the misfortune Of every one
OF our allies that each at some time or
other was led 10 sacrifice military wis
dom TO political expediency.
America alone has and can have no
political objects Ia Europe to confuse
or subvert her military power.
We have no political motive for Oc-
cupying any European territory.
No reasons Of a political character
make II advisable for US TO begin Oper-
atoms here or discontinue them here,
or night on a particular front
We are free to conduct our part in
the war under purely military govern
ance.

sequence, to look at the lighting OF our
allies from a strictly military stand
point We are POLITICAL dislnterested
and are concerned only in winning the
war BY military means, decisvely, and

the attention Of many to the exclusion
OF all else.
If you haven't sent a Christmas pres
