the ambition of Germany than Russia's de-

the hope Of smashing Austria, entente in

destroy the Austrian army, Germany cannot
spare the troops to block his path to Vienna,

1t is a matter OF congratulation that the
Republicans OF the House of Representatives
did not succeed in curtailing the powers Of
the Secretary OF the Treasury in relation to
loans TO our allies. The secretary in such
negotiations will not, Of course, act upon his
individual opinion. but as a member of the
administration which has the responsibility
of conducting the war. Surely, even parti-

the fact that. il is a wise policy TO enable our
allies to do effectively what would otherwise
have to be done later by our own armies.

Rather remarkable is the heralded change
OF German-American sentiment towards the
Fatherland and the military autocracy
President Weissman, Of the New York Ger
man-American Alliance. was reelected last
week for having advised all German-Ameri-
cans to give their allegiance whole-heartedly
to America, and the G~erman-American press
was quick TO sustain President Wilson in his
demand that Germany must have a respon-
sible government before peace can come.
There are some who say the change is only
apparent, and is wrought with the purpose
of helping the German government deceive
the world. But German-Americans are learn

On the western front. moved by this same
influence of peace discussion, the whole center
OF the gravity OF war has changed from
France TO Italy, and General Cadorna's aim
is not only the capture Of Trieste. but the
destruction of the Austrian army and the

hope. Just as Germany is delivering her
