be handled with a big heart, with a
broad vision, and with the ablest bust

its task as a very sacred trust and 1t

o IN AMERICA

The Herald has just CHANGED upon a CODY of the
Scottish American, a paper which, for more than sixty
years. has been published in New York for the informa-
ton and entertainment of those of the Scottish people
who have come to make their home in the United states,
or whose recent ancestors were from Scotland.
The Scot is a natural colonizer. He is so, among
other reasons. because he is strongly domestic in his
tastes, and because he is a man of rugged personal inde-
pendence. He is not satisfied to be a mere sojourner.
and to have only an abiding place. He must have a
home, a complete home, with wife and BARNS. He would
acquit himself poorly as the permanent servant of a mill
tary autocracy, because, while he submits with precision
and exactness to the discipline which are necessary to
the members of a mass united in furtherance of a COM
mon purpose, no man living resents more vigorously
than he anything that savors of interference with his
personal and private affairs.
To say that the Scot is a good colonizer is to say
that he is a good citizen of whatever land he chooses in
which to make his home. He never loses his affection

THIS WILL SERVE-JUST NOW

German Socialists at Stockholm, in addition to form
ulating the terms of peace which they propose, which
include no annexation and no indemnities, demand that
the United States declare specifically the purposes for
which she is fighting, the realization of which will in
duce her to lay down her arms. This demand is en-
dorsed by Socialists in New York
The Germans stick rather stubbornly to their pro-
posal for no annexation and no indemnihes. 1t is not
quite clear how this squares with former German state
ments with reference to Belgium. Belgium, we have
been told, has passed out Of existence as a nation. and
ia, already a German province. Perhaps the German idea
is that the retention Of that territory will not be annexa-
tion, the act of annexation having already been per-
formed and become a closed incident. mo annexation"
means. Of course, that Germany's lost colonies will be
restored to her. mo indemnify" means that the coun-
tries invaded and wantonly ravaged by Germany are to
rehabiitate themselves as best they can. :
Germany is in the position. of the bully who attacks
and beats up a defenseless man and robs him of some
of his property, destroying a lot more. Then, when the
victims friends come to his rescue, and the bully is
about to receive the castigation which he merits. he de-
clares his willingness to call the thing off, with no PEN
AS to what the United States is fighting for there
has been a. pretty clear statement in that memorable ad-
dress of President Wilson'S, in which congress was asked
to declare the existence of a state of, war. No intelligent
man can read that address without obtaining a very
clear conception of the purposes of the United States in
this war. One of it's sentences, at once concise and COM
prehensive, declares that 'the world must be made safe
for democracy" German and other Socialists may pom
der that with profit. III
President Wilson will use his own Judgment about
making a categorical reply to the Socialist demands, de-
mands inspired without question by the German govern
nent. For the present we may refer to a sentence in a
recent address by former Premier. Asquith, Of Great
Britain, in which certain Of the purposes Of Great Brit
ain are specifically set forth. Mr.. Asquith said:
We shall never sheathe the sword until Z
Belgium RECEIVERS in, full measure all, and more
than all that she has sacrificed; until France is
adequately secured against the menace of ag-
erosion: until the rights Of the smaller nation
alities of Europe are placed upon an unassail-
able foundation: and until the military domina-
ton Of Prussia is wholly and finally destroyed.
That will serve quite we'll as a statement of Ameri-
can aims. Each Of the items enumerated by Mr.. AS
quith is the outgrowth Of a principle, a principle to
which the United States is fully committed, for these
principles lie at the very foundation of democratic gov
eminent. We who stand for them, stand for ordered
liberty throughout the world.
