Just Cause for Rejoicing.

1--WE rejoice at the fact that we are
thus solemnly committed to the prin-
ciple of the complete autonomy and
independence of nations. Only upon
the basis of this generous nationalism
can anything like a great and worthy
internationalism be established. We
rejoice, too. that this nation is thus
solemnly pledged not only to refrain
from attempting to extend it's own
dominion over any other nation or
people, but to use its great influence
to the end that no nation shall at
tempt to extend its polity over any
other nation, or people, We approve
unreservedly the distinction drawn by
the president between the German
people and their government and we
believe that by insisting that peace
cannot be made with the Hohenzollern
dynasty, but only with democratized
Germany, the president of the United
States has, as BELTS his great station,
rendered noble service to the cause of
international democracy

How Germans Attack.

1t has frequently been stated Of late
that the German troops attack in mass
formation even in the face of machine
gun and shell fire, policy little short
Of suicidal under conditions Of modern
warfare. A Dutch army officer who
has been an observer on the front
says that this is not strictly so. He
states that the attack has the appear
ance of a mass attack because it is
cppposed of successive waves Of in
~iantry. The rear waves are kept in
close formation to heighten the morale
of the troops, but the attack IS not
mass attack, strictly speaking. The
Germans charge In close order when
they have located what they consider
the weak spot In the line of defense.
