Fated House of Hohenzollern
IWashineton Post. ]

President Wilson's address of yes
terday clearly exposes the reasons
why Germany is now Intriguing for
peace. Having executed part of the
ulan for the conquest and consoli-
dation of a central European empire
extending from the North Sea to
Asia Minor, and having possession OF
valuable trading material in france,
Belgium and Poland, Germany finds
its dream of world domination shat
tered, new enemies rising, domestic
discomfort and it's resources dtmin-
ishing. The German war lords know
better than anyone else that their
fortunes are on the ebb. They would
make peace while there is something
remaining to their advantage.
The world has passed the point
where it was compelled TO give
ground to German militarism. me
gains made by Germany are plainly
a attributable to the fact that the
world was taken unawares by the
combined strength and barbarity OF
Germany. Humanity was not aware
that a murderer nation was plotting
against it's life. Men fondly sup
posed that civilization had advanced
beyond the age of the deliberate as
sa sassination of nations. William ii
posed as a patron of the arts. boasted
OF progress in peace, and concealed
his real nature so craftily that the
world did not suspect that ne was

He and his associated assasslns were
able to build up murder macnlne
of colossal proportions. and within a
month after the completion or the

months more of submarine destruc-

President Wilson we'll says, "It is
their power at home they are think
ing about now more than their power
abroad. 1t is that power which is
trembling under their very feet, and
deep fear has entered their hearts"
William II may try to conceal
from his people the news of Con-
stantines overthrow; of the arrival
of Pershing in France, preceding the
coming of a new and resourceful
enemy; of the strengthening of Rus
sia by America and the other allies;
of the losing struggle of Won Hin
denburg, beaten to his knees by the
superior British artillery; but he
cannot conceal from the Germans
their own famine, their bankruptcy,
their frightful losses of fathers,
brothers and sons in a losing war.
Among Germany's allies there is
hatred mingled with fear and a grow
ing resolve to stop further sacrifices
to an arrogant and brutal master.
Among Germans the inevitable revolt
is foreshadowed in sullenness at
home and increasing surrenders at
| the front. The mad conspirators
who are driving Germany to ruin
may intrigue and plot as they will,
but they cannot avert their doom.
The world has finally armed itself
and is moving upon them with in
exorable might. German hearts are
breaking under uncomfortable sorrows,
penury and famine. The madmen
are driving human nature too far.

people will join civilization in the

MIR. ROOTS ADDRESS

-LIHU ROOTS address to the
n Russian people outlining the
- scope and purposes of the
American commission to Russia
ranks with the utterances of Presi-
dent Wilson defining the United
States position in the great war and
Americas hopes and fears for Rus
sia. 1t is not only we'll phrased and
impossible of double meaning, but it
was timed psychologically to the
needs Of the moment. At the very
time German Socialists were spring
ing the trap of Prusslanized peace
terms whereby they hoped to catch
the Socialists of Russia, Mr.. Root
was telling Russians of the menace
of Kaiserism and exposing the means
whereby the German government
hoped to lead Russia into separate
peace that in the end would be her
undoing. The vigorous response of
the Russian Chamber of Deputies,
declaring for prompt and effective
prosecution of the war on the part
Of Russia, indicates that Root and
his fellow commissioners have not
sown their seed on barren ground.
Mr.. Root has faced many difficult
problems in his long and busy life.
He has had many wonderful sue
cesses from prospects that appeared
to hold naught but failure. But he
has never undertaken any problem
so momentous as that with which he
is now confronted. His opportunity
for lasting fame as a diplomat and
patriot is almost as great as that
which Franklin seized with such bril-
liant results in France when the fate
of the nation was hanging by a
thread. If Root succeeds in his mis-
sion he will have been instrumental
in the saving of thousands of lives on
the battle front and in shortening
the period of the war by many
months. He has begun well.
There is a lesson for Germany in
the address, however, not contained
in the written word. 1t lies in the
absolute accord of views in the war
addresses of President Wilson and
Mr.. Root. During last falls cam
paign none worked harder to defeat
Mr.. Wilson than Mr.. Root. Po-
litically they are opposites, but on
the broad principles of Americanism
they are as one, and understanding
this. Germany should be impressed
with the solidarity of America fn it's
decision to prosecute this war to the
bitter end.
This is the really big thing in the
sending of Mr.. Root to Russia and
in his address to the Russian people
that our enemies and our allies
alike should learn once and for all
that we stand as unit against out
side aggression and for the funda-
nentals of our national constitution
as applied to the world at large, re-
gardless as to how we may differ on
the less important questions OF po-
litical policy at home. And the great
mistake Germany has made from the
ouptstart is that the imperial govern
ment imagined we would not, or
could not, fight, and that even though
we came into the war we would play
an inconspicuous and ineffective part
by reason of internal differences and
| dissensions.

How They Die in Chicago

In Chicago and Cook county, in
1915, there were 80 people killed by
falls down stairs;" 43 by falls on
street" other than those caused by
slipping on ice; 3S by falls on
fioors," total of 156 fatalities. In
the same district and period. only 7s
were killed by street cars, 42 by
blood-poisoning; IL by electrocution.
and eight by burning buildings. Ele-
vator fatalities, about which there Is
considerable agitation throughout the
country. in Chicago numbered $50
in IL years. or a yearly average of
less than 33. Therefore 1t is appar-
ent that slipping and tripping cause

of the vast powers which he proposes
for the food controller: powers
which are to be vested in Mr.. Hoover
primarily, but in the President him
self finally.
The consumer has but two inter-
ests In the food question-first, that
there shall be no shortage, and, sec
ond. that prices shall be kept at the
lowest possible figure. There is an
other and very important phase of
the question. however. which has
directly to do with keeping up the
provision supply. 1t is that the
farmer shall be guaranteed a living
price for his products. II greatly in
creased acreage is to cut down the
profits of the grower, then we may
expect a sharp reaction. in the way
of decreased acreage. In other words
IL the farmer finds himself doing
vastly more work for less financial
return he will retaliate by planting
less. This would be fatal to the sue
cessful prosecution of the war. 1t is
vital, therefore, to guarantee the
farmer fair return on his invest
ment.
This, however, should not cause
any advance in price to the con-
sumer. since it is the middleman. so
far as is possible, and the speculator
absolutely, who must be removed.
The great service of the food con-
troller will be to find ways and
means of bringing the products of
the farm more directly into the
hands of the consumer. There must
be no more such criminal boosting OF
the market prices as was done artifi-
cially with respect to potatoes and
onions last winter. Wheat, corn,
butter, eggs and the like all must be
placed under the control of the gov
ernment during the period of the
war, and after that, too, perhaps, for
the people have come to a point
where they will no longer willingly
pay tribute to every food speculatQr
who sets up shop. If there must
be price control. and we have suffer-
ed from that control terribly for the
past decade or more, let 1t be in the
hands of the government, which is
but the creature of the people and
responsive to their wishes.
The average American goes on, the
principle of live and let live. He is
perfectly willing to have the grower
and the middle man. too, where he
is necessary to food distribution,
have their profit, but he is very
much opposed to being made the vic
tim of speculation and extortion. He
is ready to take his chances with
government control of food prices.
1t is not the consumer or the farmer
who is making the noise at Washing
ton, but the men who have been liv-
ing easy at the expense of both pro-
ducer and consumer, the food
CRATER" who will have to go to work
if the controller bill passes.

DOES NOT EXPLAIN.

The census bureaus explanation as to
it's report, for war purposes, of the popu-
lation of the different States does not ex-
plain. 1t is on par with too much that
has been put out from other departments
in Washington.
The claim that the population of De-
troit, for instance, has jumped to 1,5OO,-
600 and that the population of many
southern States has heavily declined, is
so absolutely unjustifable that it is
amazing that the census bureau should
undertake to try to make an explanation.
If the real explanation was in an effort
to try to avoid CHASING the Negroes as
part of the population upon which to
draw for an army, the statement should
have been frankly made. Certainly no
effort to so thoroughly misrepresent the
population of the country, Justly causing
belief on the part of northern and west
ern States that they were being discrimi-
mated against for the benefit of the south,
should have been made at such time as
this.

dens to bear without being charged with
the responsibility for such improper and
