star of the game. Besides hit

figured in a fast double play, and

proclamation.
Such a step was held by many

iectiyes. eliminating private

jectives, eliminating private or
selfish hopes of individual allied
belligerents as military measures.
Along the same line, II has
been urged of no less necessity
than greater consideration be
given to the needs of and advan-
tages of fuller cooperation with
some of the minor and less con-
suited allies.
The United Press understands
there is good reason to believe
the statesmen among the entente
powers are in substantial agree
ment with President Wilson's sugA
gestion.
Opposition, however, may de-
velop among certain groups Of
financiers, because no attempt is
made to conceal the fact that
such a statement OF essential
principles as President Wilson de-
sires may necessitate a whiting
down of maximum demands by
various countries.
The statesmen who have been
guiding the war for more than
three years are quite prepared to
limit demands to those essentials
affecting all allies. 1t is known,
however, that certain great inter-
national financial groups prefer
to run still further risks In the
hope Of making good, financially
and territorially. at the expense
of the central powers.
Cordial Reception.
1t is admitted readily here that
America Is advantageously placed
to put thru her program without
inconsistency.
With Russia definitely out of
active fighting, the United States
alone of all the allies is In po-
sition to furnish the man power
requisite to continue the war.
1t is pointed out that IL Amer
lea is to furnish the full strength
and deliver the full blow of which
she is capable. the mind Of every
one of her fighting men must be
made absolutely clear as to what
he is fighting for.
On every hand Col. House and
the American commission have
been given the most cordial recep-
ton. There can be little doubt
but that among the foremost Brit
ish and French leaders the pro-
posal of the Americans will re-
ceive endorsement.
Lloyd George in particular has
since their first meeting shared
the complete confidence of Col.
House, and while the imperialistic
views of Lord Northcliffe are gem
orally well understood, the ener-
getic manner in which he is fight
ing for the inter-allied council,
with all that he must know 1t will
entail, suggests that the publisher
peer regards the proposal as a
most necessary win-the-war meas

WILSON WANTS
WORLD TO KNOW
WHY We FIGHT
Copyright 1917 by United Press. }

Copyright 1917 by United Press.)
LONDON, Nov. 20.-A direct
and unequivocal statement to the
entire world of the allies war
aims, is the big objective behind
President Wilson's advocacy OF
the proposed inter-allied war
council.
The United Press is able to
make this statement on the basis
Of information of unquestioned
authority today, as the American
Commissioners held their first
formal meeting with the British
leaders in Downing street.
It is to insure the organization
OF such a council that the Ameri-
can commission, headed by Col.
House, is in Europe. 1t is to in
sure such declaration made bind
ing upon all the allies, as well as
to stiffen the offensive, that the
council is desired by the United
States.
Wants Cards on Table.
Americas immediate aim and
the big task assigned to Col.
House will be to induce every one
OF the allied nations to throw
every card on the table, to state
every demand and present every
claim of the war.
From the entire lot will then
be selected those which are basic,
which are predicated upon broad
humanitarianism, which justify
the allies claim as champions OF
the rights of small nations, which
are aimed at freeing civilization
from the menace of militarism
and which are in truth calculated
to make the world safe for
democracy"
Then il the plans and ideas of
the American commission carry,
these detectives, backed by and
endorsed by the entire allied
council, will be proclaimed to the
entire world, allied, neutral and
enemy-not as a peace move, but
as q war move, a move calculated
to democratize the entire allied
war-making machine.
Purge of Suspicion.
1t would be a move to purge
the entire allied coalition of the
last tinge of suspicion of selfish
interest or hope of individual
gain for any nation.
Such a move, ldisarming the
kaiser of his argument that the
German soldier is fighting de-
Sensive war, is counted on to deal
telling blow to German morale
to give reinsurance to neutrals
and to remove from the mind OF
The Tacoma times. [volume] (Tacoma, Wash.) 1903-1949, 1917-11-20

any allied soldier any idea that
he is risking his life in further
ance of the commercial or politi-
cal interests of any allied nation.
That President Wilson person.
ally desires such a declaration by
such a council Is admittedly the
best guarantee that both will be
forthcoming. The American ex-
ecutive is at the moment in a po-
sition to secure the most friendly
consideration of his ideas.
Allied diplomats state frankly
that President Wilson, by reason
of America peculiar position and
vitality valuable resources, now
holds the balance of power among
the allied leaders.
Strictly Military.
Washington has stated repeat
eddy that American participation
in the inter-allied council will be
confined to military measures.
No deviation from this idea is
contemplated, but the United
Press is in a position to state that
the president will reserve the
right to determine what consti-
tutes military measures"
The announced military object
i've of all the allies is the defeat
of German militarism and the
shattering of the Hohenzollern
menace to the peace of the world.
Anything calculated to further
that objective will, 1t is pointed
out, be classed by America as "a
military measure
Evidence is already forthcom-
ing that more discomfort has
been caused the ruling class with
in Germany by Wilson's June 10
fappeal to the German people over
the heads of the kaiser and his
hand-picked government than by
any single military blow struck
during 1917.
While no big result has yet
been recorded from this political
offensive, there is evidence that
the leaven is working.
The French, especially, have
been active in sowing the seeds
of German republicanism on Teu-
tonic soil.
Little Opposition.
War leaders regard any move
calculated to solidify and unite
the allies, to define and concen-
trate their efforts on common OBJ

greatly to success. Since 1915,
French aviation has been making
bombing raids. The raid upon
Karlsruhe in 1915, made by 20
bombing planes. brought upon the
Germans a justified terror. In
that expedition over 200 persons
were killed and wounded. and for
many months that reprisal raid
stopped German bombing Of
French towns. But in 1917 bonn
bardment of defenseless English
and French towns by German
planes began again, in which
London and Dunkirk suffered
most.
Public opinion in America has
been aroused against these nom
military commandments, and has
suggested reprisals. Such bonn
bardments have been effected.
Dresden and Frankford for ex-
ample, having been visited by
French planes.
But the people OF America re-
alize that 1t is much more diff
cult for the allies to carry out
bombing expeditions than for the
enemy.
The same distance which will
take the German machines over
London or Paris, will only take
the allied machines over Belgian
or French towns in the invaded
territory, and still quite far from
important German towns.
The problem of bombardment Is
more difficult for the allies; this
Is why We should go at 1t with all
our might.
AT THE REQUEST OF THE
FRENCH GOVERNMENT, THE
GOVERNMENT OF THE UNITED
STATES HAS DECIDED TO OR
CAME A POWERFUL BOMB
ING FLEET.
These bombing squadrons, like
the battle fleet, must be ready for
action in the early spring.
Then a systematic mbardment
of open German cities carried out
relentlessly day and night, with
out interruption-in answer to tho
bombardments the Germans have
been carrying on for the last three
years in violation of all laws of
warfare-will contribute immense
ly to destroy the morale of the
German people and to hasten an
honorable peace.
How Is it possible to save time
and thereby save human lives?
By spending money; by applying
to the creations of the American
air fleet the wonderful industrial
Organization Of the country; and
finally, by shipping the finished
products fearlessly, facing all
risks.
