WHERE THE ISSUE NOW RESTS.
From the New York World.

From the New York World.
In many respects the most important
words in President Wilson's history
making reply to the Vatican's peace
proposals are these:
Punitive damages, the dismem.
berment Of empires, the establish.
ment Of selfish and exclusive eco.
nomic leagues we deem inexped..
ent and in the end worse than
futile, no proper basis for peace
of any kind, least of all for an
enduring peace. That must be
based upon justice and fairness
and the common rights of man
kind.
No other statement made by any re
sponsible head OF government since
the beginning of the war has cleared
away so much diplomatic rubbish and
corrected SO many diplomatic blunders.
No other statement has obliterated so
many doubts as to the real aims and oh.
jects of this war.
President Wilson can see no enduI.
ing peace in dismembered Germany.
He can see no enduring peace in a
commercial war after the war. He can
see no enduring peace in a Germany
loaded down with punitive damages
and inspired by resentment to revenve
He can see no enduring peace that does
not look toward the future and not 10.
ward the past. And he is right.
James NJ. Beck expressed an opir
ion which The World wholly shares
when he said yesterday that it was a
matter for regret that the Allies, when
they answered President Wilson's
peace note of last December in respect
TO their aims and objects in this war
did not make the same kind of a repl,
that the President has made to the Vat
lean proposals.
AS Mr.. Beck puts the case:
The reply which the'Ali,es then
made, while just in its terms, had
an inevitable tendency to conson.
date Germany, reinyigorate its de.
termination to fight 10 the end,
and as necessary consequence TO
strengthen the waning power Of
the Hohenzollern dynasty.
President Wilson's masterful re-
ply will have the very opposite eff.
feet In Germany and Will give
strength and purpose to the rising
spirit OF democracy in that unhap.

Yesterday both President Wilson and Secretary of
War Baker received calls from committee of educators
who protested against the segregation of the negro SOL
diers who been called the National army. This
question is causing trouble than the public is per-
ntted to learn about and If Secretary Baker Is wise he
will make ruling it and then stand pat To talk
it with committees and southern representatives in
Congress and otherwise temporze with it merely to
encourage 1t to get out of hand.
