WHEN THE BREAK COMES.
~ ERHAPS the most dangerous moment
for America in all this war will be

IN ERHAPS the most dangerous moment
for America in all this war will be
the moment when Germany, admit
ting she cannot win, offers to make peace
on the basis of the status quo ante-to
go back to where things were before she
set forth so bIithely upon her great adj
venture.
Already her newspapers talk of such
peace. The reicistag mo annexations and
no indemnities'' resolution is "feeler''
for it, The war lords allow this talk to
be made, although they have not official
ly sanctioned the proposition.
The day will come when they will, how
ever, and that will be dangerous day for
America.
From what we see quoted from German
newspapers it is quite clear that the peo-
pie of Germany think they have only to
offer to go back to where they were be-
fore the war to gain peace. When they
say mo annexations and no indemnities"
they mean no annexations by Germany
and no indemnities to be collected by Ger
many, because it has not even entered the
head of one man in ten in all Germany
that they may be forced to make repara-
ton.
Also Germany does not understand that
any mere promise on her part not to at.
tack her neighbors will not be taken. The
Germans as whole still are deceived into
thinking their rulers did not start the
war. They do not appreciate that their
promise not to offend again would be a
worthless promise. They do not know
that their nation is morally bankrupt; that
the word of its overlords is no longer of
the slightest value in the councils Of civil
ization.
When they get ready to admit That they
cannot win and to offer to return to the
status quo they will expect their enemies
to accept those terms-in effect peace
made in Germany. And we must be pre-
pared for considerable movement in the
United States advocating the acceptance
of such an offer.
The La Follettes, the Stones, and the
o-German newspapers will, of course
be for such peace. The hyphenates and
the pacifists and the towards and all the
other copperheads will be for it. ssWhat
more is there that we should fight for p
they will shout why should we take
sides in any European quarrel over ter
ritory or indemnities? Let the Germans
return Belgium and Northern France, and
let the British and the Italians give back
the former German colonies and the ter
ritory taken from Austria. And let us
all get together Germany to do her share,
of course and rebuild the towns in France

HUNKA TIN.

You may talk about your voltures
When you're sitting round the quarters,
But when it comes to getting blesses IN,
Take little tip from me,
Let those heavy motors be,
Pin your faith to Henry F.'s old Hunka
Tin
Give Ger essence and Peau,
Crank her up and let her go,
You back FIRM, spark plug foulin' Hun
ka Tin.
The paint is not SO good,
And no doubt you'll find the hood
Will rattle like boiler shop en- route;
The coolers sure to boil,
And perhaps she's leakin' oil,
Then oftentimes the horn declines to
toot.
But when the night is black,
And there's blesses to take back,
And they hardly give you times to
take a smoke,
It's mighty good to feel,
When you're sitting at the wheel,
She'll be running when the bigger cars
are broke.
After all the wars are past,
And we're taken home at last,
To our reward of which the preacher
sings,
When these ukulele sharps
Will be strumming golden harps,
And the aviators all have reg'lar wings,
When the kaiser is in hell,
With the furnaces drawing well,
Paying for his million different kinds
of sin,
If they're running Snort of coal,
Show me how to reach the hole,
And I'll cast few loads down with
Hunka Tin
Yes, Tin, Tin, Tin,
You exasperating puzzle, Hunka Tin,
I've abused you and I've fayed you,
But, by Henry Ford who made you,
You are better than Packard, Hunka Tin.

We. are coming to the day when an alien
who has been here one year and has failed
to go home or become one of us will be
made to fish or cut bait. He must stay
as a citizen Of America or get back to the
land he loves. We who have sons will ap-
preciate the good work done in the pass
ing of the law whereby aliens can be
drafted. Why should my boy carry q
Springfield to save country for an alien
ito live in and send his rrofits to the old
country which could not feed him? After
q year in America ask them why they
stay? If America is good enough to eat
in it is good enough to fight for else get
to ell out Of here Why should we fight
for our country and allow them to use it
free for lifetime? Let it be q year Or
nothing. And certainly year is enough.
This law is going to be passed. Among
Americans the call for it is growing daily.
One hears it on every hand. The draft

A COLD WEATHER SONG.

Old Man Frost
Come a pokin' round,
And he leave his trail
On the harvest ground,
He bite Mr.. Rabbit
On his little short tail,
And laugh like the dickens
While he weep and wall.
Old Man Frost
Peek under the door,
And wheeze his breath
On the kitchen floor;
And he take wallop
At the old green pump,
So we can't git water
Till the spring time jump.
Old Man Frost
Goes handin' out, his jokes,
And slaps the ears
OF the careless folks;
And grandad limp
Like he amt content,
AS he rubs his legs
With dab Of liniment.
Old Man Frost
You can caper as you will,
/ got no kick
Whilst my heart be laughin' still
yank up chair
By the old fire place,
And mother smokes the bacon
For my hungry face.

groundwork for Attack on
Wilson's Plan is Laid in
Senate Resolution,
DEMOCRATS LIKELY
TO SUPPORT MOVE
Appearances Indicate That Senators
Favor Adherence of United States
to Doctrine Of "No EntangI-
ing Alliances"

Washington, Jan. 25.-Groundwork
Tor the expected attack in the United
States senate on President Wilson's
proposal that the United States ioin
league for peace, was laid today in
a resolution introduced by Senator
Borah, reaffirming as national
policy the doctrine of "no entangling
alliance" laid down by WASHINGTON
and Jefferson.
Unlike the pending Cummins reso-
luton, Senator Borahs proposal
makes no direct reference to the
peace address, but if the resolution
is adopted, it would permit the SEN
ate Gin all matters coming before it
I touching the intent OF affairs of for
eign countries, to conform it's acts
to those time-honored principles so
long and SO happily part Of our own
policies"
There was no debate on the resolu-
ton. but after its introduction Demo-
cratic members of the foreign rela-
tons committee went into informal
conference and made plans to fore
stall discussion of the matter on the
floor of the senate before the commit
tee had considered it.
The Democrats insisted that the
president had proposed no departure
from national traditions and thSt
there is nothing in the resolution to
reflect on his uterances. Some lead
ers even predicted that if the resolu-
ton came to a vote, every Democrat
would support it, but they declared
discussion at this time would be futile
and needlessly would disrupt senate
business.
Senator Borah, in presenting the
resolution, asked that it go over for
day. but he did not reveal whether
he would make an effort to call it up
tomorrow. Senator Cummons also de-
cline to say whether he would press
tomorrow his resolution to set aside
next week for debate on presidents
address.
If Senator Borah attempts to press
his resolution tomorrow, the foreign
relations committee Democrats will
move Immediately that the resolution
be referred to that committee. Should
pronounced opposition develop to this
/ course, the leaders declare the Demo
Gratis will join the Republicans tc
! pass the measure.
Democrats opposition will be con-
t;nued to the Cummins resolution
which was discussed in general way
at last nights conference between the
president and senate leaders. Ihe
presidents attitude was not revealed
bnt there were indications today tina
he was not inclined to take issue WITH
the plan to shut out debate in orde1
to prevent sidetracking of other I'M
portant legislation.

"Down East" Cellar, But 1t Is

Little Rock, Jan. 25.-Some parts of
Arkansas may be "bone dry but the
cloak rooms of the house and senate
have rather the appearance of "down
east" cellar. Not that the statewide
prohibition act is in any way violat-
ed, for the cider has not begun to
age, and the kick is noticeable by it's
absence. There is manufactured in
Little Rock cider that IS all the juice
of the apple. Members of the house
and senate have started fad of cider
drinking, and all hands chip in and
buy it in ten gallon lots. One jug
went to work Wednesday night, and
blew out the cork before morning, but
there were no members on hand at
that time to see whether or not fer
mentation had begun. The members
were all away on junketing trips.

Declares That Presidents Proposal
for Peace without Victory Absurd,
and Invites Neutrals to Keep Out.

Ottawa, Can, Jan. 25--President
Wilson's peace proposals were criti-

He offered resolution providing
that Gin the opinion of the senate OF
Canada, only representatives Of ma
