=
That the Germans themselves are
-esaacinls q the false position in
which they have been sef by their
leaders is evident from the many re-
ports Of disturbances withh the en-
pire that hitter through I te censor
ship. But Il is still mofe certain
from the demeanor Of the citizens Of
this country who are Of German
birth or descent. At the Seginning
OF the war and for long tine tnere-
after. they rallied to the defense Of
the Fstherland. This was q natural
and reasonable impulse, and its ex-
precision was perfectly legitimate;
but advantage was taken by political
leaders and editors Of German pa
pers to capitalize 1t for unwise il not
dishonest purposes.
II does not require the gift of
prophecy to see that the age of DEM
ocracy has dawned. Kaisers, kings,
princelings and mobiles win cling to
their privileges until shaken loose,
but shaken loose they undoubredry
will be. The king Of England may
be permitted to remain for a time,
possibly for life. because he has al
ready been shorn Of all political
power. and is now merely very ex-
pensive social ornament.
Can anyone believe that in such
an event the German people will
tolerate the kaiser and the emperor
ofsaatxias Hungary? Not II they had
concluded a s1ctessful war :, could
those rulers have long withstood the
sweeping tide Of democracy. How
much less. then, win they be able to
Withstand It in the face Of defeat?
Nor is that all OF the present war.
America too must prove herself re-
ally democratic. The charge that we
have grown careless Of our liberties
through too much prosperity has
some truth. The country as coun-
try is prosperous beyond any example
in history, but that cannot be said
Of all our people. Yet that condition
must be brought about before Am
erica can be said to have achieved its
mission. Unless we do a little house
cleaning the revolution that is sweep
ing through Europe, and already has
come to a head in Russia. will find
some fuel to feed upon in the United
States.

 In support of his statement he gave ary last the British have lost but eighty guns and have captured from the same date the British have cap tured ten men to every one of theirs secured by the emmy.
 Speaking of the Nineteen sevea- teen" drive which was started this month the premier stated that in the first eighteen days they took eleven thousand prisoners; whilst m the present battle of Arras they have cap tured twenty thousand men and talk en two hundred and eighty four guns
 He spoke of the casualties of the British troops being considerably less than those of the Germans and cited instances where whole regiments of German infantry were wiped out by the extreme machine gun and bif1e fire of the English.
 Referring to the reserves In the United Kingdom and the voluntc 4"s under arms in the British colonies Lloyd George states that England could duplicate her army now in the field at short notice. He spoke warmly on the support accorded the mother country by Australia, Canada and South Africa and made especial mention of the Indian troops who are serving the empire.

 NEW YORK, April 27.-The pa triotism of Champ Clark received a rap today by Ambassador Gerari, during his speech at .he American publishers convention. Gerard stat ed that by his action in buckng the conscription bill Clark had shown very plainly how far he would go in the support of the administration m this time of trouble.
 He intimated that the stand taken by Clark had savored very much of the man possessing a yellow streak, which until this time had been kept wei, under cover, but that like many other supposedly brave men in times of peace, the cringing will show it. self the moment trouble looms in sight
 He said that real trouble is now with us, and such being the case the country needs real men to cope with it, and if those in whom the people have placed their confidence, are not of the caliber to meet up with the situation that is staring the coun- try in the face, they should at least refrain from throwing stumbling blocks in the path of better men.

WASHINGTON, April 27.-Champ Clark calls Ambassador Gerard a liar for making the statements he did at the publishers convention in New York, when he impugned Clark's patriotism for having buclled the consciiption bill.
 Clark says that. Not alone ia Gerard liar, but the truth is not in him if he says that have cold feet"
 Clark is today all wrought up over Gerard's attack, his friends say that they have never seen him so wild, and that Gerard has made an enemy who will work to his disadvantage as long as he is in a prominent position in American politics.
 Clark claims that the stand he has taken in regards to the conscription bi,l, is ia reality yoicIng the wishes of the majorty of he people, and that if the bill goes through eventual ly, his conscience will be clear of having acted against those wishes.

~WHY DIDN'T WE PREPARE p

Just now. while ninety-nine out of
one hundred Republicans are standing
Loyalty behind the administration in
helping win the war, few actuated
by partisan and mercenary motives
are trying to make political capital by
deliberate misrepresentation of facts
of recent American history. In order
to set them right, not with a desire
for partisan controversy we call at
tention to this truth:
The old lying insinuation that Presi-
dent Wilson once said he favored
peace at any price" is clearly intimat-
ed. The public is given to under
stand that the Republican party ia
vored great a preparedness movement
and that it was held back by the Dem
ocratic administration. 1t is direct
" implied that Lindley NJ. Garrison
resigned as secretary of war because
President Wilson failed to agree with
him in his national army plans.
All these insinuations are false.
President Wilson never said he ia
vored peace at any price" and he did
just what he said he would do in the
matter of dealing with Germany. He
said that if Germany should violate
the Sussex pledge, he would break off
diplomatic relations and he minated
strongly that war would follow, and
it did. Now, we are not doubling the
patriotism of Republican congress
men i'm their intentions, but in 1916
the test on whether we should stand
by American rights on the sea was
before congress, 1O2 Republicans,
headed by Lester Mann, voted for the
McLemore "scuttle" resolution, and
only ninety-three voted to stand by
our guns. A considerable Democratic
vote went with Mann but large ma
iority of the Democrats stood by the
administration and American rights
How about preparedness? 1t was

complete system of preparation that
Leader Mann arose to say that he

president and would stand by him.

as a small army and small navy man. s."
he said. And this "smal army and
small navy" man had been selected
with full knowledge of his record to
head the Republicans of the lower
house.
How about Garrison? Well. Sec
rotary Garrison had a national army
plan worked out and had the APPROX
al of the president. When the thing
was sprung, it was endorsed by Gen
eral Leonard Wood and others, but a
large number of experts, at least OF
the second class, said that the old
dual system with notifications was
better They got the ear of both the
people and congress. Frankly, they
convinced us, that the plan of Secre-
