Get Ready for the Chorusl

The key TO the present German sit
uation may be found more easily
in the editorial columns of certain
American ~ newspapers than any,
where else. Germany wants peace so
desperately that the time even for
the camouhage Of verbIage and diplo-
matte blufing Is past
She would conceal her anxiety for
peace II she could, lest 1t be construed
as a sign Of weakness; but she cam
not do it. She has given the word
to every German propaganda, every
busy Teuton turnover. be he in Wash
ington or the wilds Of Patagonia, to
talk peace with the determined in
sistence OF a phonograph-to din it
into peoples ears day and night. to
keep at it until the war-weary peo-
pies lend an ear to the siren call.
This is her last chance. now that the
submarine has failed her; her final
shot, and she knows IT.
Witness the new tack taken by Ger
man oficialdom in addressing the
civil population: Yes. we can
win this war, IL you Cthe peo-
pIe) will only hold out!' Sure
ly It would be insulting. If not
pathetic. this constant hammering on
the German people ito hold out" as
II they had not already held out for
three years under the most dIsheart-
enlng conditions that ever a modern
nation faced. Here is your true auto
cratic cowsrdice when the handwrit-
ing on the wall is seen; 1t is as II
the alibi were already prepared. a.
IL the Kaiser were almost ready to
say: my brave soldiers did not fail
me, but my people did"
When the significance of these con-
slant adjurstions to hold out" comes
to the German consciousness, what
will be the result? A fourth winter
Of war approaches, with the strength
and number Of their enemies increas-
ing, with the military offensive def
nitely passed from their hands. They
are the anvil now. not the hammer.
Is 1t too much to hope that the COM
ing winter will see the inst shad-
owings OF a decisive success for the
Presidents diplomacy-that he will
succeed in asking the German people
to repudiate their bankrupt govern
ment?
They will not do 1t because of any
move OF the President, or any other
leader OF the allies, except insofar
as that move shows them that their
enemies are not animated by greed or
lust OF conquest. 1t will be because
they themselves will awaken to the
real nature OF the beast" whose hoof

AN AMERICAN GIRLS GOODBY.

There's a lump in my throat and a
catch in my voice.
And gone are my spirits gay,
And deep in my heart an ache
abides
For Johnny Who's Going-Away.
Oh. the fates will be kind and soon
he'll return,
And well smile in the same old
way.
But tits tears and not smiles that
clamor just now
For Johnny Who's-Going-Away.
The sun may keep shining although
And the same old moonbeams
play.
But what are the sun and the moon
to me
without Johnny Who's Going
Away?
There's a place in his arms where
myself just fits.
And l snuggle my griefs to bay,
And CLEAN in the eyes and a
peace in the lips
OF JOhnny-who's-G
Yet though there'H be none now to
cheer and to kiss.
And cold are the distances gray.
Sure. it's not with a sigh and a sob
that I'll part
From Johnny-who's-Go Away.
With head held high and a wish in
my eyes
I'll smile him goodby today.
For love is a beacon. and we have
love.
On, Johnny-Who's -Going-Awey.

The Americans with the "Tommies. u

F'raternization between Pershing's
men and the Britishers is proceeding
now at an even livelier rate than
the Cumming" between our men and
the PoiIus during the training period.
which now. apparently. is nearing an
end.
A considerable part of the original
expeditionary force is back of the
British lines. while the new units
recently arrived are probably placed
in the French sector. The picturesque
first contact between the Americans
and the "Tommies" is a story which
yet remains to be told; however. we
are informed on excellent authority
that the Americans have already
played hookeyg from their own COM
mands and have been "over the top"
with the Britons as an evidence OF
their anxiety to get on the firing line
Indeed. the Americans are very
proud of the fact that two of their
number have been wounded by Ger
man shells; that they are billeted in
territory that was held by the Boche
not so very many months ago. 1t
is irksome indeed not to be permitted
to fight when within range of enemy
shells, and when you are thrilled by
the proximity of the retreating Hun
whom you have crossed the ocean
and devoted months of arduous train
ing to put "out of business"
But the day is fast approaching
when ''Yank" and Tommy" and
Poilu will be right out there in the
frst-line trenches, the shell-holes. the
pill boxes" to form an irresistible
trinity of fighting force. Every man,
woman and child in the United States
will be thrilled to the core" when
the word is fiashsed across the At
lantic that our vanguard has had
its baptism of fire." We will then
see the war in a new light. We will
less inclined than than ever TO deal
loosely and easily with the sinister
forces that are doing their best
to hinder and divide the American
people in the great enterprise to which
they have offered their blood.

Suffrage on Capitol Hill.

Chilly the White House front to
suffrage may be. but it is clear that
Capitol Hill is the reverse of frlgid in
its attitude towards the women who
are asking the ballot. The vote in
the House yesterday-on the question
Of creating a suffrage committee-is
clean-cut victory. Well may there
be rejoicing in Cameron House and
every other purlieu of the equal
ballot" throughout the land.
The skeptic will ask how the ac-
ton of the House yesterday changes
the situation. 1t doesn't, except in
directly. 1t shows that suffrage can
command a majority in the Lower
Chamber OF Congress any time It is
permitted to come to a vote. That
is a revelation which, in itself, consti-
tutes a moral victory for the suf-
fragists. It is the most substantial
demonstration of their strength that
the past twelve months have shown.
There is no doubt that the cause is
growing, and growing every day.
1t seems curious that the day in
which this decisive vote comes in
Congress should have been the day
set for the resumption of picketing
We cannot believe the choice was
deliberate; rather did the Fates play
a curious trick upon the group which
is laying siege to Presidential favor.
if that is the correct way of putting
it.
Congress will insist that the vote
yesterday was gained in SPITE OF, and
not because of, picketing, but the gen.
eral public will be interested more in
effects than in causes; and the effect
Of the vote yesterday will be far
reaching.

in some sections for certain commo-
dities than the government will be
asked to pay in other sections.
The West must rely for funds, or
at least for new funds. Mr.. Rey-
nOlds says, upon the sale Of its live
stock and harvests. Much the great
er part of the purchases for NUM-
tions of war are made in the East
since the larger industries thus oc-
cupied are for the most part To-
Gated east of the Alleghanies. al
though there are some important
industries in Ohio and Michigan.
Therefore, II the government dis
tributes its orders. which in the ag-
gregate are to be considerably in
excess of the money value of the
purchases made by Lord Northcliffe.
the funds expended by the govern
ment in these purchases will replen-
ish the money stores of the West
so that in that way there will be
secured a reasonable equilibrium.
There is no disagreement, so far as
can be learned, among the leaders
in business and finance in New York
respecting the very great moral as
well material advantage which will
follow the meeting of representative
business men of the United States at
Atlantic City last week. II is often
spoken of as revealing this latter
day spirit OF cooperation between the
government and American business
life which many hope will be main
tanned after the war Is ended. In
other words instead of antagonism
to and criticism for big business the
government and the great leaders of
the business world will be found act
ing in thorough cooperation.
But there Is some comment based
upon different views respecting the
means by which the European war
will be brought to triumphant Conclu-
sion by the United States and our al
lies. Mr.. Hoover told the business
men that the supreme blow would be
delivered when We succeeded I'm starry
ing the enemy, while at the same
time we are well feeding ourselves and
our allies.
1t is noticed here that there seemed
to be note of encouragement. almost
enthusiasm, in Mr.. Hoovers address,
although as always he was cautious
about making overstatements. On the
very day when Mr.. Hoover pronounce
starvation as the great weapon fer
the defeat of the central powers a very
high English authority was quoted in
the newspapers as having asserted
that the greatest weapon that the al
lies can WELD. if they secure it, will
be furnished by abundance of air.

and Italy, is convinced that final and
complete triumph will not come until
the United States and its allies have
won decisive and crushing military

the eyes of the German people be
opened to the fact that Tic Kaiser and
his military party have been ever
