AMERICA FACING DARKEST HOUR IN
 ALL ITS HISTORY

Knoxville. February 11.-Charles Edward Russell, member of the Root mission to Russia, speaking at the East Tennessee war conference here, said America is now facing the dark est hour in all her history, and that each of the 110,00O,000 of her popula- tion must have unity of purpose If we are to endure as a nation"
 If the reports of a separate peace by Russia are true and Russia has declared the war to be at an end so far as Russia is concerned," he said, there has been no such crisis or calamity in all American history as that which now faces us. There are 1,500,000 German prisoners in Rus sia, together with a large number of Austrians who are in good fighting condition These, together with 147 divisions of German fighters, fully equipped and which Russia is even now holding on her lines will be released and they will be thrown against the allies on the western front. This will give Germany an army of more than 100000 men ready to sweep down like an avalanche and destroy the defenses and lines of our soldiers and those of our allies.
 They will outnumber any possible forces of soldiers that the allies can put on the front. Germany will sur round and subjugate Italy and then sweep over southern France, which has no Verdun and drive the remaining portions of the allies armies into a small northwestern corner of France and there defeat them by detachments and in such an event we can do only what the Russians did in the war with Japan, send our troops abroad only in sufficient numbers to have them de- feated at the point of disemb arkation. Thus can America be defeated without even shot being fired upon American soil. If this report of separate peace is true the only thing we can do now it to throw ourselves and every ounce of effort into the cause that 1t may not be too late

YOUNG AGENT SETS
 NEW RECORD FOR THRIFT STAMP SALE

Alabama may now lay claim to am other honor, according to statements from the state headquarters of the na- tional war savings committee, in that she has the youngest treasury agent for thrift stamps and baby bonds in the United States. This agent is Miss Sadie Louise Morris, 6-year-old De- mopolis girl.
 Although Miss Morris is still in her girlhood, she has made record in the sale of the bonds that may we'll be en- vied by many larger agents. Her sales to date amout to over 56o and she is still hard at work.

CZERNIN SEES MORE
 CLEARLY THAN GERMAN

Count Czernin seems to see the fun damental elements of peace with clearer eyes than Dr. Won Hertling and does not seek to obscure them. He sees that an independent Poland made up of all the indsputably Polish peoples who lie con- tigucus to one another. is a matter of European concord and must, of course, -bc conceded: that Belgium must be evacuated and restored, no matter what sacrifices and concessions that may in- volve, and that national aspirations which ensue must be satisfied even within his own empire in the common interest of Europe and mankind.
 If he is silent about questions which touch the interest and purpose of his allies more nearly than they touch those of Austria only, it must be of course because he feels constrained. suppose. to defer to Germany and Turkey in the circumstances. Seeing, and conceding. as he does the essential principles involved and the necessity of candidly applying them, he naturally feels that Austria can respond to the purpose of peace as expressed by the United States with less embarrassment than could Germany. He would probably have gone much farther had it not been for the endorsements of Austria's alliances and her dependence uron Germany.
 After all the test of whether it Is pos sible for either government to go any further in this comparison of views is simple and obvious. The principles to be applied are these:
 q. That each part of the final settle ment must be based upon the essential justice of that particular case and upon such adjustments as are most likely to bring a peace that will be permanent.
 "2. That peoples and provinces are not to be hartered about from sovereignty to sovereignty as If they were mere chat tels and pawns in game of chess, even the greatest game now played for pos- sessions and dispossessions. discredited for the balance of power. but
 ''s That every territorial settlement in volved in this war must be made in the interest and for the benefit of the popu- lations concerned. and not as a part of any mere amicable adjustment or com promise of claims amongst rival nations; and
 "4. That all we'll defined national as- pirations shall be accorded the utmost satisfaction that can be accorded them without introducing new or perpetuatins

problems which each and all affect the whole world; that unless they are dealt with in a spirit of unseIf.-h and unbiased justice with a view to the wishes or the world at large the nations themselves, the natural racial aspirations, the se- curity and the peace of mind of the peo- ples involved, no permanent peace will have been attained.
 ..Thev cannot be discussed separately, or in corners None of them constitutes a private or separate interest from which the opinion of the world may be shut out. Whatever affects the peace affects mankind and nothing settled by military force, if settled wrong, is settled at all.
 ''It will have to be reopened.
 s'Is Won Hertling not aware that he is speaking to the court of mankind; that all the awakened nations of the world now sit in judgment on what every pub lie man, of whatever nation. may say on the issues of conflict which has spread to every region of the world? The Reichstag resolutions of July themselves frankly accepted the decisions of that court. There shall be no annexations; no contributions; no punitive damages. Peoples are not to be handed about from one sovereignty to another by an inter national conference, or an understanding between rivals and antagonists.
 National aspirations must be re- spected; peoples may now be dominated and governed only by their own con sent
 'Self-determination' is not a mere set phrase. It is an imperative principle or self-action which statesmen will hence forth ignore at their peril.

 the world.
 CAN BE DISCUSSED
 ON THIS FOUNDATION
 "A general peace erected upon such foundations can be discussed. Until such peace can be secured we have no choice but to go on. So far as we can judge, these principles that we regard as fun damental are already everywhere ac- cepted as imperative except among the spokesmen of the military and annexa- ticnist party in Germany. If they have anywhere else been rejected, the obJec- tors have not been sufficiently numerous or influential to make their voices arGible. The tragical circumstance is that this one party in Germany is appar- CT tly willing and able to send millions of men to their death to prevent what all the world sees to be Just.
 "I would not be a true spokesman of the people of the United States if l did not say once more that we entered this war upon no small occasion, and that we can never turn back from course chosen upon principle,
 "Our resources are in part mobilized now, and we shall not pause until they are mobilized to their entirety. Our armies are rapidly going to the fight ing front and will go more and more rapidly.
 ''Our whole strength will be put into this war of cipation--emancipat from the threat and attempted mastery of selfish groups of autocratic rulers whatever the differences in titles. from chancellors to soyereigns and other in definite monarch self-supporting alone. We would try to avoid all foreign in trigue through force.
 Ut is our one desire to continue in good order an international peace based upon reason and peace and the common interests of mankind shall be conserved. This is the desire of all enlightened men everywhere
 "Without that new order sought the old world will be without peace and human life will lack tolerable conditions of existence and western development. Having set our hand to the task of achieving it we shall not turn back. q hope that 1t is not necessary for me to add that no word of what l nave said is intended as a threat. That is not the temper of our people. l have spoken thus only that the whole world may know that the true spirit of Amer ica--that men everywhere may know that our passion for justice and for self-gov- err n.ent is no mere passion of words, put A passion which once set in action must be satisfied. The power of the United states is menace to no nation or peo- iple. It will never be used in aggression and for the aggrandizement of any selfish interest of our own. It springs l out of freedom and is for the service of l freedom"

ALL MUST JOIN IN
 SETTLEMENT OF, ISSUES

''Al1 the parties to this war must Join in the settlement of every issue any where involved in it, because what we are seeking is a peace that we can all unite to guarantee, and maintain qua every item of it must be submitted to the common judgment whether it De right and fair, an act of justice, rather than a bargain between sovereigns.
 '1The United States has no desire to interfere in European affairs or to act as arbiter in European territorial dis putes They would disdain to take ad- vantage of any internal weakness or dis order to impose her own will upon an- other people. She Is quite ready to be shown that the settlements she has sug- gested are not the best or the most en- during.
 They are only her own provisional sketch of principles, and of the way in which they should be applied. But she entered this war because she was made partner, whether or not she upheld the sufferings and indignities inflicted by the military masters of Germany against the peace and security of mankind, and the conditions of peace will touch her as nearly as they will touch any other na- tion to which is entrusted a leading part in the maintenance of civilization She cannot see her way tro peace until the causes of this war are removed, it's renewal rendered as nearly as may be, impossible.
 "This war had it's roots in the disre- gard of the rights of small nations and of nationalities which lacked the union and the force to make good their claim to determine their own allegiances and their own forms of political life.
 Covenants must now be entered into which will render such things impossible for the fl1tIIra and tboSp covenants must be backed by the united force of all the nations that love justice and are willing to maintain it at any price. If terri torial settlements and the political re-
 ations of great populations which have not the organized power to resist are to be determined by the contracts of the powerful governments which consider themselves most directly affected. as Count Won Hertling proposes, why may not economic question also?
 'It has come about in the altered world in which we now find ourselves that justice and the rights of peoples affect the whole field of international dealing as much so as access to water and rail conditions of equal travel and trade. Dr. Won Hertling wants the es- sertial basis of industrial and commer- cial life to be safeguarded by common agreement and guarantee, but he cannot expect that to be conceded him if the other matters to be determined by the articles of peace are not handled in the same way as items in the final account Ing. He cannot ask the benefit of com mon agreement in the one field without according it to the other Granting that he sees the selfish and enhancing com paots with regard to trade we must hold the essential matters of materials would afford no foundation for perpetual peace.
