Of France, England and Italy,
but against that of the United
States. We will give you equal
.ity Of opportunity for trade and
investment, not in the world at
large, but in the United States"
The German liberal leaders have
no desire TO make themselves RI
diculous.
Can American initiative have
exhausted itself with the Pres
ident's replyl If we assume
this, we admit that the net bur
den Of the Presidents declara-
ton is simply that the war must
go on indefinitely. We admit
that it will forever remain i'm
possible to establish the good
faith of our pacific protestations.
II is clear that the President
must be contemplating another
step toward peace. And it is
equally clear what that step is
likely to be. Through dipiom-
attic exchanges, or perhaps
through an inter- Allied confer
ence on war aims, it will no
doubt be made known to the
world whether or not the AL
lied Powers are ready to make
peace with a democratized Ger
many upon terms in harmony
with those implied in the Pres
ident's reply.
1t is frequently urged that an
inter-Allied conference on war
aims would be a dangerous ex-
pedient, because it might bring
to the surface latent conflicts
Of interest among the several
Allies, and thus impair their
vigor OF action against the COM
mon foe. But it is inconceiv.
able that the responsible states
men of any country have failed
to take into account such con-
flicts Of interest as may actual
ly exist. Inter-Allied conflicts
Of interest must somehow be
reconciled, either at the peace
congress or at an earlier time
and it will be much easier to ef.
feet a reconciliation while COM
mon action against an undefeat-
ed enemy remains a vital neces-
sity.
Such a conference, moreover,
appears to offer the only hope
for a satisfactory international
organization to prevent future
wars, The peace congress will
be sufficiently occupied with ma
tional interests. OF necessity, it
win include parties whose effort
will be to sow dissension among
the Allies. At the peace con-
gress Austria-H will ma
turally attempt to play off Ser
bia against Italy, Rumania
against Russia. Germany will
attempt TO play off Russia
against France, the United
States against the European Al
lies. 1t is of great importance
that the Allies enter the peace
congress with their aims unified.
From the point Of view Of the
United States, it is of still great
err importance that the Allies
should enter the peace congress
as an organized league, to which
the Central Powers may be adj
mitted if they are ready to give
the requisite guarantees. Other
nations expect to gain territory
boundary rectihcations
or colonial readjustments. We
expect nothing but the creation
of an international order under
which all the nations may live
in security. II we are to bear
without murmuring the immense
sacrifices that the prolonpation
of the war entails, we need ear
ly assurance that our allies ac-
cept our aspiration, not as a
utopian dream, but as a practic-
al end toward which it is worth
to strive.

Valdez daily prospector., 1917-07-31

Herbert Johnson, the famous car toonist, offers a lesson in inconsist- ency in one of his cartoons in the cur rent number of the Saturday Evening Post. It is entitled Made in Ger many" and on the left depicts a wild-eyed, long-haired soap box agi- tator, waving his arms and harangu- ing a group of workingmen. On a placard is his program:
 WE DEMAND: Equal service government control of necessities, re- cognition of labor, shorter hours, higher wages, conscription of wealth, war on autocracy, internationalism, destruction ef absolution, world democracy.
 The artist explains that all this is before the war.
 On the right side of the cartoon is Uncle Sam, of benign mien, holding a placard in his hand and looking down on the selfsame agitator. And on his sign are the words:
 YOU ARE GETTING: Universal service, government control of neces- sities, worldwide recognition of la bor, shorter hours, highest wages ev- CT known, conscription of weath, war on autocracy, international co-opera- tion, destruction of absolutism, free Russia, world democracy"
 But does the individual labelled socialist" approve of this program. which contracts the situation "before the war-and now?" He does not. He is tearing his hair and gesticulating wildly against the program which Uncle Sam offers.
 Every person who suspects him. self of being an agitator should see himself as others see him by pasting the cartoon over his door.

TRIPLE MURDER IS
 CONFESSED BY SLAYER

JOHNSTOWN, Pa, July 31.-G. c. Tompkins, of Philadelphia, held in connection with the shooting to death of Edmund I. Humphries, pro- minent coal operator, his wife, Mrs. Carrie Humphries and their Swear old son, Edmund I. Humphries, jr., on a country road near Carrolltown, this county, last Sunday, confessed to the three murders today, accord ing to the announcement by the po- lice. The confession was made in the presence of Jailer Edward Knee of the county jail and Tompkin's attor- neys.
 Tompkins was a member of the Humphries automobile party. Follow ing the shooting he went to the home

SAME OLD BUNK"

Herr Michealis, the new German chancellor, does not give the impress sion of being so able or forceful a man as his predecessor, whom he lauded in his maiden speech before the reichstag. It would have been just as well, apparently, to have left the portfolio to von Bethmann-Holl- veg.
 The kaiser's new apologist obvi- ously is a mere tool of the militarists. His program so far is no different from his predecessor. He says Ger many is ready to accept an "honor- able peace; that the submarine war fare is winning; that Americas part in the war will be comparatively neg ligible; and that the fatherland must continue to fight so long as its ene- hies insist on imposing upon it terms which it cannot accept.
 The chancellor, of course, is res ponsible, not to the reichstag or the
Valdez daily prospector., 1917-07-31

of a friend and declared that the party had been held up by three masked men, who shot and killed the members of the Humphries family. Despite this story, Tompkins was held and formally charged with the murder.
 According to jailor Knee, Tomp- kins was sitting in the office of the jail talking to his wife and his fla ther, George c. Tompkins, ST., of Clifton, N. J., when he burst forth. saying:
 II killed those three people. l killed them all killed Humphries in the cornield. I bought the pistol in Johnstown."
 Later, it is said, he made de- tailed verbal confession to the Rev. B. F. Henry, but this confession was not made public.

people, but the crown. That fact ex- plains much. It disproves the claims of the Germans that their govern ment is essentially democratic. The kaiser and his satellites determine the policy and the chancellor, as the spokesman of the ''all higher one" merely attempts to execute it. Thus, in his address before the reichstag Michaelis presented no program of his own, but reiterated that of the kaiser and the crown prince, which is not essentially different from that which Bethmsnn-Hollweg presented repeatedly in his addresses to that body.
 The reichstag went on record by a large majority in favor of peace without annexations or indemnity. Evidently the reichstag more nearly represents the people than any other aggregation of men; but so far it is a voice in the wilderness and the Prussian program. as enunciated by the new chancellor, will prevail-for the time being at least.
 The only ray of encouragement is that the people are turning against the emperor's policy. If they can win over the army-and there are no present indications that they will the situation may suddenly be revers- ed.

Graincourt, Anneux Cantaing Noyel-

The attack, which was at s o'clock
at night, was delivered by torpedo.
In the rolling; icy seas of the North

BILE probably came upon the destroyer
patrolling her coUrse, in the dark, and
had all the best obf the engagement.

tofore that wheh "a Submarine gets q

The large loss of life would indi-
cate that the torpedo with its deadly
charge of high explosives, made fair
hit plump ON the destroyer's thin hull,
and the submarine hunter probably
was blown fairly in two. That she
went down quickly is evidenced by
the fact that nothing is said of sur
vivors getting off in lifeboats. Those
saved got off on RATS which probably
floated off the sinking ship as she
plunged down in the icy darkness.
