war from now on, and conduct it in our
own way.
Our own way is not the way of the AL
lies. Mr.. Wilson has himself made that
abundantly clear; there is scarce one Of
his communications since August, 1914,
which has not made more than plain the
division of our aims from those of the
other nations which are fighting Germany
Nevertheless, it is something of a surprise
TO learn how complete and distancing this
division is. 1.-THE London Times" of Octo-
Der II published the following dispatch
from its Washington correspondent:
"The question of American representation
at the Allies conference which is shortly to
be held in Paris is exercising the mind of the
State Department. Official Washington has
consistently discouraged the use by news
papers of the word Allies II prefers the
term o-belligerents.' The Administration
fights shy Of anything tending to establish
q theory of formal alliance with the Entente
Allies"
There is evidence that the state of mind
which "The Times's" correspondent re-

part there, by persuasion and negotia-
ton the United States is going to COM
plement military effort, so that Germany
will fall, not so much from the strength
that is opposed to her without, as from
the weakness within that saps her powers.
This, in vague and most general outline,
is the part which our representatives Will
propose for us to the Paris Conference.
Indeed, our Washington reporters-who
are seldom unanimously wrong - have
given the impression that this is not so
much a proposal as a demand. 1.-THE
United States is going to insist" wrote
The New York 'Tribune's correspondent
few days since, that a permanent organi-
cation shall be created to unity and direct
the efforts of the Allies. The opinion here
is that some permanent joint commission
will be named, and because of the part
that this country plays as banker Of the
anti-German combination, it is likely that
the Allied Powers will agree upon some
American as head of the commission" In
other words, we are going to conduct the

ports is fully perceived abroad, in England
particularly. There is also evidence that
there is disagreement with the general
policy-perhaps we should speak more
accurately were we to say philosophy
which informs that state of mind. No
names are named, but tension is growing.
A leading London weekly, long sincerely
friendly to America, has been counselllng
q cordial and receptive spirit toward US,
and the laying aside Of small oppostions.
For the attitude of England has been
stiffening. Mr.. Balfour is no longer Brit
aims authentic voice; Mr.. Asquith and Mr.
Lloyd George are. In the past month Mr..
Asouith and the Premier have been speak
ing throughout England in the effort to
make clear to the people the concrete war
purposes of the Allies and the methods by
which it is hoped to achieve those pur-
poses. We have now the full reports OF
these speeches; there is noticeable lack IN
them of any mention of a negotiated peace,
of peace by the separation Of the German
people from their government, OF peace

by secret diplomacy. depend upon 1t,
declared Mr.. Asquith at Liverpool meet
ing. "the world will never find its way to
peace through a morass of equlyocation
and antiquities" amidst all the discus
sions about terms and concessions here and
there" said Lloyd George at Albert Hall,
I'VE must keep our eyes steadfastly on the
great purpose of the war, the destruction
Of the false ideal which has inundated
and enslaved Europe" Throughout neither
the Premier nor Mr.. Asquith has suggest
ed that the Allies consider any way posi-
BILE for the destruction of that ideal other
than the infection Of a military defeat
that will completely break up Germanys
Central Europe plan.
This is the view to the support Of which
the English government has been educat-
ing its people, in preparation for the forth
coming Paris Conference. AS we have
pointed out, the view to which Washington
has inclined American opinion is quite
different. Assurance has been limited, how
ever, that the United States can and will
impose its view; the reason is suggested
in the unblushng paragraph we have al
ready quoted from The New York Trib-
une: because of the part this country
PLAYS as banker of the anti-German COM
bination, it is likely that the Allied Powers
will agree upon some American as head
of the commission" 1t is an ugly fact to
face. We shall be glad to know that it is
not fact. That is, we shall be glad to
know that America, for all she has fat
tened, parasite-like, on the miseries OF
Europe for these three years; for all that
she has made her millions while French
men died in the trenches and the English
navy kept business as usual, cannot direct
the Paris Conference or the war simply
because she holds the purse strings.
This, however, is somewhat sentimen-
tai consideration. II is not the chief mat
ter. What is Of Importance is that the
war should be won, and won right, under
