War Over When.
Germany Quits

81 have been behind the scenes
in Europe and | know Germany is
the only country still to counte-
nance a dynasty" said David Starr
Jordan, chancellor of Leland Stan
ford university, speaking at the
Tacoma public forum in the First
Congregational church Sunday
night.
In response to the question,
"When will the war end?" he said:
German people would, | be-
lieve, accept the principles of
democracy and end the war now,
but the dynastic powers of that
nation will give up their lives be-
fore they submit to democracy.
'One of the powers the German
kaiser has had is to evoke phil
osophy-that of world power
strong enough to hold his people.
Not until all dynasty of the
world is swept away must we give
up our fight for democracy"

Some of these swooped over

boastfully announcing the exact
schedule on which the invading
armies proposed to travel.
The date on which the German
Austrian forces propose to occupy
every one of the major Italian
cities in the northern provinces
was carefully set forth.
The civilian and art evacuation
of Venice was reported as almost
complete today. The water city
has been stripped clean of its
movable art possessions. Only a
