WAR AIMS OF U. S.
GERMANY MUST UNDO WRONGS
1T INFLICTED, SAYS WILSON,.
Demands Change In the Pre-War Statu
Quo to Conform to Human
flights.

Washington, June 12.-President
Wilson in communication to the new
government of Russia has made plain
the war aims of the United States and
It's position on mo annexations, no
indemnities." The principal terms on
which the United States insist are:
mo territory must change hands ex-
cept for the purpose Of securing those
who inhabit 1t fair chance Of life and
liberty.
mo indemnities must be insisted on
except those that constitute payment
for manifest wrong done.
"No readjustments of power must
be made except such as will tend TO
secure the further peace Of the world
and the future welfare and happiness
of Its people"
The presidents communication was
delivered to the Russian government
at Petrograd. 1t Is In part as follows ::
"The ruling classes In Germany have
begun of late to profess LIBERAL
ity and justice Of purpose, but only to
preserve the power they have set up in
Germany and the selfish advantages
which they have wrongly gained for
themselves and their private projects
of power all the way from Berlin to
Bagdad and beyond.
Government after government has,
by their influence, without open con-
quest of Its territory, been linked to-
gether in net Of intrigue directed
against nothing less than the peace and
liberality Of the world. The meshes OF
that intrigue must be broken.
"The day has come to conquer or
submit. If the forces Of autocracy can
divide us they will overcome us; II
we stand together victory Is certain.
and the liberty which victory will Sc
cure. We can afford then to be gen.
erous, but we cannot afford then or
now to be weak or omit any single
guarantee of justice and security"

The New Reigning "House of
Windsor"

Curiously enough, it is only a few
weeks since H. G. Wells wrote A
ringing piece calling upon the Brit
lsh royal family to wipe out the last
trace Of Germanism from its name
and allegiance; to disavow its policy
Of marital alliances with the various
reigning houses of Europe, particu-
larly with those of the German
duchies, and minor kingdoms; to
marry henceforward into the British
aristocracy and even into the COM
mons, and thus thoroughly to Aneli-
cize itself.
II this were not done (said Mr..
Wells) it was only a matter of a
brief time when the British empire
would rise in its injured dignity and
cast out the house of Hanover. He
intimated he believed il would be a
good thing to have the captains and
the kings depart" from England for
ever.
London's thunderer, the Times then
came to the defense of monarchy,
saying it was "the golden link" which
held the empire together, which as
sured the loyalty of such races as the
Hindus, who through centuries have
been trained to allegiance to kings,
and know nothing about a republican
form Of government.
That the Wells feuilleton has borne
fruit is shown in the significant change
that George V has determined upon.
He Is now the head of the house of
Windsor" not Of Hanover, Bruins
wick, Guelph, or of Saxe-Coburg and
Gotha. He renounces his thin strain
Of Teuton blood. Gone are the days
when Queen Victoria was "the grand
mother Of Europe" when the Kaiser
and the King OF England rejoiced In
their cousinship, when they planned
marriages for their kin which would
draw their two houses closer together.
Gone are the days when royalty tried
to turn itself into a great interna-
tional ruling trust through inter-
marriage, when philosophers, scholars,
and publcists Joined in preaching the
gospel Of international peace, and
unity through the close regal ties
engendered by these alliances.
The Kaiser has knocked that kind
Of a philosophy Unto a cooked hat. "
He has spelled the ultimate doom of
kings. or at least OF kingly power.
The monarchy may remain in Britain,
and the military autocracy in Ger
many. But in England for genera
tions the monarch has been little more
than a figurehead; and there can be
no permanent peace while Hohenzol-
lernism retains its unbridled power in
Prussia.

THE SPIRIT OF FRANCE.

o fertile fields of lovely France,
Where patient peasants toll to hold
Their own against grim circumstance,
And save for age their hard earned
gold
How dread the fate that now demands
New sacrifice of loyal sons;
Because of foes as barbarous
AS blood-relations of the Huns!
Your holy temples turned debris,
Your little towns in ruins lie;
Against the waste of human blood,
Across the seas we join your cryl
We hate the inhumanity
OF selfish Might that leads the foe,
To dream of conquering the world
And yoking it to Teuton woel
How many times your soul, o France,
Has felt the blight of battle fires;
And yet from farthest shore to shore
Your Spirit all the world inspires!
