WASHINGTON DOUBTS
GERMANY'S

Washington, Dec. 27.-The condi-
lions surrounding Count At,zernin's
proposals for q. basis of peace cause
officials here to feel some apprehension
for their sincerity. Thcfe is a great
disposition to feel that the object of
the German plcnipotentiaries is Sim
ply to protract tho negotiations as
long as possible without any expecta-
ton OF an immediate peace agreed
ment with the double purpose of lead
ing the German people to believe that
their government really Is DESTROYS of
making peace, and at gaining time
for the further strengthening of the
German lines in the west.
One condition REGARDED ais inpos-
stble. for the present at, least is that
the adherence of all belligerents must
be- secured to the peace the Germans
arc trying to make with Russia before
1t can become effective. This is ac-
companied by IA demand for the re-
turn of the German colonies now in
the possession of Russia's allies.

U. S. ATTITUDE
SAME.

It can, be stated aut%horitatively that
h position OF the American govern
nent- has not changed in any respect
with regard to its determination to
enter into an agreement with. a gov
eminent which does moi represent the
free will of, the governed people. This
would dispose of any hope the GEr-
mans might have that the Russians
could induce America to subscribe to
the peace treaty WHICH they are now
trying to arrange. AS for the German
colonies the American government has.
never recorded itself on the subject
and Lloyd George recently declared
that was a subject for the peace con-
ference. r.
No provision is made in Count
C'zernin's. terms for the return to
France Of Alsace4I.orraine,< which is
regarded here as a condition that
must be met as a preliminary to n
peace agreement.

Wilson Will Not Shrink

I Mess we fail entirely to comprehend
- the character OF Woodrow Wilson, those
Senate schemers who think they will place
the President in hole, by putting up to
him the question of national prohibition dur
ing the continuance of the war, are due to
receive rude awakening. The President
Will not evade the decision thus sought to
be confded to him. If the Senate passes
the bill in the form approved by the Agricul-
tural Committee and the House accepts the
senate amendment. national prohibition Will
be adopted or rejected, by executive mandate
in exact accord with what the President be-
lieves to be best for the country.
There is no foundation, SO far as we have
been able to observe, for this newly dis
covered theory that Mr.. Wilson shrinks from
the assumption Of responsibility or the exer-
else of authority He is moderat ely force
full and determined person. with a mind and
Will entirely his own. He is not going to
change overnight.
While there are Senators, doubtless. who
desire to cmbarrass the administration and
VINO VIII vote for the amendment with the
accomplishment OF this amiable purpose in
view, their motive does not change the
fact that they are pursuing the proper
course. Nationwide prohibition, in this
emergency, is not matter for emotional dis
cussion or determination. The moral factors.
certainly, are not to be neglected, and in
the bands OF the President will not be
neglected, but there are serious industrial
and economic factors that cannot in safety
be ignored. AS they are stressed with great
earnestness by the leaders of the prohibition
cause, as we'll as by the opponents OF pro-
hlbtlon, and as any number of conflicting
arguments are ranged either side of the
controversy. 1t is manifest that careful and
detailed investigation and cool and clear
thinking will be required to solve the prob
lem Alright. The President will be in posi-
ton to avail himself of the services of men
who can make this Investigation, and who
are capable of this type of thinking. He
can. and will. reach the right conclusion and
the country, which has just confidence in
his abilities and his patriotism will accent
his finding.
Under the Senate bill, as it now stands the
manufacture OF distilled spirits and malt lio-
uors from foodstuffs is prohibited for the du-
ration OF the war, while the President is au-
thorized to permit the manufacture of yinous
liquors, in limited quantities. If this clause
remains in the measure, it will be for the
President to say how the country's revenues
Will be affected, what influence on the food
supply will be exerted, and what economic
and industrial adjustments will be neces-
STATED by any particular policy. We do Con-
gress no wrong when we say that the Presi-
dent is far better qualified to rule on these
problems than is the law-ma king branch of
the government.
National prohibition is being urged lust
now as a war measure, and as war
measure 1t should rise or fall. Will it helm
US win this great war for democracy and
for the rights Of oppressed peoples? That
Is the test that should be applied.

American Troops in France

h EARLY everybody in the country-cer-

has known for a week that American troops
mac been landed in France. The arrival
or second contingent apparently has so
3llered the demands OF the censorship as to
permit the publication of the news and thus
to carry TO the heart of the American people
assurance that the country has begun to
take vital and important part in the ac-
tual conduct Of military operations.

PREMIER DATO SATISFIED
Snys Government Believes It's Measures
Have Been Well Received
by Public.

MADRID. June 27.-Premier Dato
said to-day the government believed
its measures had been we'll received
by tho public
The Cabinet decided on Monday tho
suspension of constitutional guarantees.
The ministers had intended to
govern as IL in normal times" said
the Premier, but, inasmuch as. not
withstanding their hopes. tho alarm has
been sounded everywhere by suspicious
elements and as special correspondents
OF foreign newspapers had come to
Spain in the expectation Of revolution,
the ministers thought it right to take
extreme measures to preserve order.
Our foreign policy, too. made these
measures necessary. in view OF the
exaggerated comments OF our news
papers on the international situation,
which might we'll lead to difficulties
with other countries, and endanger the
principle Of Spanish neutrality, which
we do not intend to abandon. All
Spaniards must support the govern

ready are doing"
The Premier asserted absolute calm

No Separate Peace for Russia

IN Petrograd the Congress of Workmen' S
and Soldiers Delegates, representing all
Russia, has declared itself unalterably op-
posed to separate peace with Germany.
While the congress wants an early peace"
and while its position as to the vigorous
prosecution of the military campaign is most
equivocal, it yet ends finally all hope Ger
many may have entertained that Russia
would desert her allies.
In Washington, Russia's special ambas-
sador TO the United States announces to the
world that the Russian army and people
are rallying their forces around the banner
or freedom" that Russia wants the world
to be safe for democracy" and that ito
make it safe means to have democracy rule
the world"
That is more reassuring and satisfactory
attitude. The attainment of what Mr..
Bakhmetieff declares to be the Russian am
bition will require further sacrifices from
the people he represents. Talking will not
answer the purpose Those who really de-
sire TO SEQ the world made safe for de-
mocracy' will find places in the trenches or
behind the guns.
