mere armistice during which the
Prussian military masters will prepare
for greater war, proliting by their
mistakes and providing against all
chances Terrible as the present con-
nict is, bloody as it is, destructive as
it is, the president feels that it must
be waged inAexibly, so that never
again will it be possible for any band
of ruthless men to plunge the world
into such a hell And in that deter
mination he has the united backing
of the people of the United States and
of it's allies.
The agony must not be gone

A KIND WORD FOR CHINA.

a KIND "OHD fOf CT1INA'
We call the attention Of our allies
to our newest ally, the republic OF
China, with the suggestion that now
is a good time to act handsome to-
ward her.
The heaviest of China's burdens is
something like ,$5O0,0o0,o0o unpaid in
IDENTITIES from the Boxer war
There always has been doubt about
China's governmental responsibility
for the RuSer rebellion, but when We,
alongside Of Germany, Japan, Russia,
France and Britain, marched up the
hill to Pekin that time, and boxed
the Boxers, we marched down again
with Chinas promise to pay $780,
600, 900, to be divided pro rata among
us civilized nations and Germany.
Uncle Sam never took his full share
OF this loot. He took enough to pay
his military expenses during the fam
Gus expedition and to satisfy the dam
age claims of his citizens but, humane
" returned the bulk of his indemnity
swag to China, and the latter invested
it in scholarships for young Cinnamon
in our colleges But the other parts
of the Boxer indemnity China has
been unable to pay and the total has
run up to approximately half billion,
which she cannot pay, although she
has declared war on Germany and re-
Dudiated Germany's portion.

No food was brought me during the
afternoon, nor had eaten all day, yet
my mental state was such l had no
consciousness Of hunger. l had dis
although my eyes were sufficiently uc-
custOmed to dimness to enable me to
move about my narrow quarters safely
enough.
1t must have been between eight and
nine o'clock when the key turned in
the lock of my door, and Liverpool
looked In. The light from the swing
ing lamp in the main cabin tlared into
my eyes, binding me, yet recognized
his face, and saw Dude close behind
him, bearing tray. Neither of them
spoke, but Red, having assured him
self Of my presence, stood aside, and
motioned the steward to enter. The
latter deposited the laden tray on the
desk, and backed out silently, every
movement showing him thoroughly
cowed by his guardian. Realizing that
any word from me would only result in
insult, ! remained silent, and the two
disappeared, closing and locking the
door behind them. confess ate the
food with RELISH for it was well cooked,
and served with some duintineSs. After
n second cup of coffee l felt much
more like myself, rummaging through
the captains chest until l found some
tobacco and Il pipe, which ut once
appropriated to my own use. No one
returned for the emptied dishes, and l

too strange to be true Mt sea and so it
was not the position in which l found
myself; not the possible fate of the In
dian Chief, or of her captured officers,
which weighed most upon my mind-it
was Vera Darlington. If those villains
scuttled the ship; if they took to the
boats to save themselves, leaving us
to drown like rats, what would they do
with the girl? Would Mccain dare to
take her with him? Would he venture
leaving her alive to bear witness to
his crime? There was but one an
swer-not unless she was utterly in his
power. Either he must quiet her by
force, and thus bring her spirit to his
will, or else compel her to marry him,
and so legally seal her lips. And the
man was perfectly capable Of taking
either course - whichever seemed
easier.

CANNOT TRUST THEM.

The reply of President Wilson 10
pone Renedict's peace proposal will
meet with the instant approval or the
American people, We are peace loV-
ing nation and we prepared ourselves
for war with more than the ordinary
wrench, We go into war literally 10
war against future war. President
g Wilson voices our innermOst conVlc-
Is tons when he says that we wan. a
stable and enduring peace, and then
adds these pregnant words:
"This agony must not be gone
through with again"
A world in which such wars were
always possible, in which such wars
were always impending, would be TOO
horrible in which to live. The presi-
dent rightly places the blood guilt
upon the rulers of Germany, and, IN
doing so, draws at once terrible III
dictment of the Prussian military
caste and cogent presentation OF the
reasons which forced us to take up
arms.
- 1.-The object of this war; says the
president, is to deliver the free PEG,
pies of the world from the menace
and the actual power of vast mill
tary establishment controlled by an
irresponsible government, which hav-
, ing secretly planned to dominate the
world, proceeded to carry the plan out
. without regard either to the sacred
, obligations of treaty or the long es-
tablished practices and long cherished
principles of international action and
honor; which chose its own time for
the war; delivered its blow tiercely
and suddenly; stopped at no barrier,
either of law or mercy, swept whole
continent within the tide of blood
, not the blood of soldiers only, but the
blood of innocent women and children
also, and of the helpless poor; and
now stands baked, but not defeated,
the enemy of four-ffths of the world
We are asked by the kindly pope
to sit in council with the representa-
tives of this kind of Germany and dis.
cuss peace with full remembrance of
treaties ruthlessly broken, of solemn
covenants treated as mere scraps of
paper. President Wilson truthfully
says we cannot take the word of the
present rulers of Germany as guar
antee of anything that is to endure,
unless explicitly supported by conclu-
sive evidence that it is the will of
the German people
This is a clever and adroit way of
saying that any promissory note of
the HohenZollerns must be endorsed
by the German people, and that as col
lateral and a guarantee of good faith
German armies must be withdrawn
from Belgium, from northern France
from Serbia. from Courland, from all
the invaded territory and, further
more, that the inhuman and barbarous
submarine warfare must be discontin-
ued. Only when the German people
force their rulers to take such peace
full steps as these will the civilized
nations of the world be in a mood to
discuss peace. Only when Germany
gives such evidence of a real change
of heart will the democracies of the
world dare to discuss peace.
The allies must be convinced that
when they sign a treaty it is one that
will be observed. They must be con,
