Critical Press Says Burden Will Soon Fall Upon
 United States.

London, Nov e-The derhand that Mhe Allies declare specifically their wnr aims and the conditions on which Beace will be considered continues to 'be urged by the section of the press heAded by the Manchester Guardian. Ahee Nation and others.
 The Guardian asserts that British @tatesnnanship has failed repeatedly 9fhroughout the war Ireland should mave been pacifed and made source Ef strength instead of weakn ess: i: lprohteering and imitation should have been stopped; Austria-Hungary might have been weaned from Germany into m separate peace if she had not been nonfronted' by threats of dismember. xnent, Germany showed disposition 'tp yield Alsace and Lorraine, but in- Dtantly instead of allowing that to be- come am invitation toward peace. ex- tremtsts began talking about the Jeff bank Of the Rhine as the only possi- &le boundary.

Otherwise the public must understand that the war wfu not end next year, but will run into 1919 and perhaps into 1920, and It's terminatfon will not depend on my of the European aIlies. but on the Roroe that America will be able to ex- Art.

 sGernnAny must understand that rather than yield essentials we will go Ho the end, but we must make sure that we stand only on essentials and let no irrelevant issue postpone the day of relief.
 What are the essentials? Ambas- @ador Page, for America, has placed first league of nations. Although accepted, this has figured little in our utteranees, yet it is the one healing principle not rejected by Germany and 1t is welcomed by Austria I, bears the consequence that the wa1 cannot end with forced sessions of territory, but. territorial changes must be examined and sanctioned by the nations in conference.
 The right note was sounded by Premier Lloyd George. Speaking o1 khes territories, he said: We have conquered them and we hold them at the disposal of tho peace confer bnce.v If the ground is open for dis russfon, will Germany do the same with the territories held by her which are in dispute? The Premier might well repeat and 're-enforce his dec aaration and challenge the German Hovefnment, which after all has. hun 9ry people behind it, to make a sini: 9ar submission to the Judgment of the world
 Let us not hastily assume that Ulerxnany would refuse because of her military successes. On some front. nhe has been successful, but on the west front she has met her match while behind us there is not only the growing power of America, but the economic situation which Americas growing hostility toward Germany en- &ails.v s
