ment and those whom it is using for
their own undoing are seeking to OBJ
tain pledges that the war will end IN
the restoration Of the status quo
ante It was the status QUO ante out
of which this Ubiquitous war issued
forth, the power of the Imperial gov
eminent within the empire and its
widespread domination and influence
outside of that empire. That status
must be altered in such fashion as to
prevent any such hideous thing from
ever happening.
eve are fighting for the liberty,
the self-government and the undic-
tated development of all peoples, and
every feature of the settlement that
concludes this war must be conce'v
ed and executed for that purpose.
Wrongs must first be righted and,
then adequate safeguards must be
created to prevent their being COM
mitted AGAIN. We ought not to con-
sidcr remeuies merely because they
have a pleasing and sonorous sound.
Practical questions can be settled
only by practical means. Phrases
will not accomplish the result. Effec-
tive readjustments will. and what
ever establishments are necessary
must be made.
Course of Action Pain :.
"But they must follow a principle
and that principle is plain. No peo-
pie must be forced under sovereign
ty under which they do not wish to
live. No territory must change hands
except for the purpose of securing
those who inhabit it a fair chance
of life and liberty. No indemnities
must be insisted on except those that
constitute payment for manifest
wrongs done. No readjustments of
power must be made except such as
will tend to secure the future peace
of the world and the future welfare
and happiness of it's peoples.
"And then the free peoples of the
| world must draw together in some
common covenant, some genuine and
practical cooperation, that will in
effect combine their force to secure
peace and justice in the dealings of
nations with one another. The broth
erhood of mankind must no longer be
fair but empty phrase; it must
be given a structure of force and re-
atty. The nations must realize their
common life and effect a workable
partnership to secure that life against
the aggressions of autocratic and
self-pleasing power.
"For these things we can afford to
pour out blood and treasure. For
these are the things we have always
professed to desire, and unless we
pour out blood and treasure now and
succeed we may never be able to
1unite or show cdnquering force
again in the great cause Of human
liberty. The day has come to con-
quer or submit. If the forces of au-
tocracy can divide US, they will over
come US; if we stand together, victo-
ry is certain and the liberty which
victory will secure. We can afford
then to be generous, but we cannot
afford then or now to be weak or
omit any single guarantee of justice
and security"

PRESIDENT TO RUSSIANS
. What America is Fighting for and
What the Settlement Must Mean

President Wilson, in a communlca-
ton to the new government OF Rus
STA, delivered through American Am
bassador Francis at Petrograd, has
made plain the war aims of the Unit
ed States, and its position on mo an
nexations; no indemnities" The Pres
ident says:
"Tn view of the approaching visit
of the American delegation to Russia
to express the deep friendship of the
American people for the people OF
Russia and to discuss the best and
between the two peoples in carrying
the present struggle for the freedom
of all peoples to a successful con-
summation, it seems opportune and
appropriate that l should state
again, in the light of this new part
nership, the objects the Unite
States has had in mind in entering
the war. Those objects have been
very much beclouded during the past
few weeks by mistaken and mislead-
ing statements, and the issues at
stake are too momentous, too ire
mendous, too significant for the
whole human race to permit any mis-
Interpretation or misunderstanding
however slight, to remain incorrect
ud for a moment.
"'The war has begun to go against
Germany, and in their desperate de-
sire to escape the inevitable ultimate
defeat, those who are in authority
in Germany are using every possible
fundamentally, are making up even
of the influence of groups and par
ties among their own subjects to
whom they have never been just or
fair or even tolerant, to promote a
propaganda on both sides of the sea
which will preserve for them their
influence at home and their power
abroad, to the undoing of the very
men they are using. =
No Selfish Acknowledgement
s'The position of America in this
war is so clearly avowed that no
man can be excused for mistaking it.
She seeks no material profit or ag-
grandiZement of any kind. She is
fighting for no advantage or selfish
object of her own, but for the liberia
ton of peoples everywhere from the
aggressions of autocratic force. The
ruling classes in Germany have be-
gun of late to profess a like liberali-
ty and justice of purpose, but only
to preserve the power they have set
up in Germany and the selfish ad-
vantages. which they have wrongly
gained for themselves and their pri-
vate projects of power all the way
from Berlin to Bagdad and beyond.
Government after government has
by their influence without open con-
quest of it's territory been linked to-
gether in net of intrigue, directed
against nothing less than the peace
and liberty of the world. The meshes
OF that intrigue must be broken, but
cannot be broken unless wrongs al
ready done are undone; and ade-
quate measures must be taken to
prevent it from ever again being re-
woven Or repaired.

Beef For Army SpoiIs
on Ship Due to Muddle

Washington, Dec. 13-There is
lying at one of the German line piers
in Hoboken. New York 'Harbor, where
the Quartermaster's Department,
which is operating the vessels taken
over by the Army for the transat-
lantic supply service, has been at
tempting to load ships for France for
the last six months, a certain Ameri-
can supply ship which has arrived
from France within the last week or
two.
This vessel is a refrigerator ship.
he is used in carrying refrigerated
beef to the American Army in France.
On her last trip across she carried a
full cargo of beef in cold storage.
When she returned from France a
short while ago it was discovered
that she had not left all of her cargo
on the other side; $50 tons of beef,
the contents of one refrigerator COM
partment, came back to America with
her.
In fact, it seems that whole COM
partmentful of beef had been over
lolSed in the process of unloading the
ship in France. The master of the
ship, however, supposing that she
was empty of her beef cargo. did not,
of course, run the refrigerating plant
on the way home. The consequence
was that the $50 tons of beef which
had taken a trip to France and back
was rotten when it was discovered
after the ships return to Hoboken
the other day. According to current
reports along the New York water
front it was very rotten indeed.

With Astonishing Success

New York: Wives and mothers

Hopkins Hospital and nearly twenty
years of practice, is now in charge of

is to give the young men good social
surroundings and entertainment some
of the boys are addicted to drink. His
experience is most interesting and
convincing. Here is his report: Some
weeks ago in discussing with a busi-
ness man one of the evils we have to
combat, namely the drink habit, he
mentioned Tescum and the wonderful
cures that had been effected through
It's use. When l returned to the home
hafter my interview 1 found upon maxi
ing inquiry that one of our boys knew
all about Tescum,' having used it
while in New York and through its
use rid himself of the liquor habit. He
tells me that since using the remedy
six months ago he has not taken a

Conscript Wealth,
Plea of Grangers

Williamsport, Pa, Dec. 13.ACon-
scription of wealth, as we'll as men,
was among the war measure recon-
mendations that featured the report
of the legislative committee of the
Pennsylvania State Grange in ses-
sion here yesterday. The report
was read by Allen d. Miller, of Sus-
queharna.
THE men with an income of
S3O0O," the report asserted, "can
easily give a portion of that sum
every year to the government with
out sacrific and certainly the man
with an income of at least 500, 900
can give up all over that without
sacrifice. The government, by the
selective law, has taken our young
men, and it sonly right and fair
that IL should also conscript the
wealth of the United States to help
win the war"
permanent policy of a grad
uatch income tax, in the opinion of
the committee, would not only give
the Government added income at
this time, but would do away with
the mammoth fortunes which, the
com mittee believes, are a menace to
the happiness and prosperity of the
United States" The report contin-
ued:
The draft law has hampered the
farmer, but we plead no exemption
or our boys who are just as brave as
those of the city or those in any
other industry, as they have proved
by thousands of volunteer enlist
ments. The government turged in
creasing planting of crops. The
farmers responded but the labor sit
uation has been such in the Last
that much has gone to waste. We,
therefore, urge that exemptions as
will give the farmer and other classes
of industry necessary in the prose
cution of the war the labor needed.
Many men have been found physi-
cally defective and disqualified for
military service. We would urge
that these be placed in necessary
war industry for which they are
best fitted and keep there until the
close of the war"
