Maubeuge.

This morning it was announced that
the British in their advance eastward
had captured Maubeuge. A little more
than four years ago British forces
suffered a costly defeat there, and it
is doubtless with the greatest satisfac-
ton that their army now enters the
city, the scene of an earlier humilia-
ton. Yet the British defeat at Maui
beuge in 1914 was not a disgrace.
Kitchener's "contemptibles," as they
were then scornfuHy termed by the
Germans, but are now fondly called
by their own people, were outnumbered
overwhelmingly. They fought hope
less fight as part of the wonderful cam
paign of retreat organized by Joffre
and conducted with mastery skill to
the battlefield Of the Marine. Maui
beuge was a horror, slaughter pen,
but it served its purpose of staying
the German armies little while, even
as the Belgians at Lege had checked
them, and as Belgian, French and Brit
ish forces barred their way from point
to point throughout those bitter weeks
of the great German advance.
Only a few miles ahead Of the Brit
ish lines lies Mons, another point of
melancholy memory. The tragedy at
Mons was no less grim than that at
Maubeuge, and there are doubtless ar
dent hopes in England today that the
armistice may be stayed long enough
to enable the British troops to reach
and in turn occupy that point before
the curtain falls upon the conflict
With both Maubeuge and Mons wrest-
ed from German hands by British
forces there wili be some solace for
the sacrifices suffered four years ago
in that gallant series Of defeats, end
ing n check to the enemy.

Germany's Crisis.

Events are progressing in Germany
so rapidly that it is difficult to know
the situation from hour to hour. In
deed, if the armistice terms are not
quickly signed there may be the ques-
ton as to who was authorized to speak
for the German people. The naval re-
volt in the north, accompanied by
rioting throughout the empire, has now
been supplemented by declaration
for republic by the Bavarian diet,
with a demand for the deposition Of
the Wittelsbach dynasty. Meanwhile
the German majority parties Of the
reichstag have sent committee to the
chancellor conveying five demands, for
the right Of public assembly, for the
restraint of the military and police,
for the immediate transformation of
the Prussian government to conform
to the views of the reiehstag majority,
for "greater socialist influence in the
reichstag" and for the abdication of
the emperor and the remuneration of
the throne by the crown prince. In
reply to this the emperor has declined
to abdicate on the ground that he
could not at the moment of peace Gun
dertake the terrible responsibility of
handing over Germany to the entente
and delivering up the country to an
archy." Prince Macmillan, the chan
cellor, has rendered his resignation, but
the kaiser has asked him to hold On
until he has made his own final de-
cision.
Germany is in dissolution. The mill
tary party, if it elects to continue
fighting, must act quickly. On the
other hand, if it elects to make peace
it must move quite as quickly. What
has happened at Kiel and Hamburg on
the part Of the sailors may happen all
along the front on the part of the SOL
diers. The spirit of mutiny is apt to
spread swiftly. Unless the armistice
is signed speedily within the time
limit made by Foch there may be no
army to disband by formal order. At
the same time it may be possible for
the high command by a vigorous stroke
and show of authority to assemble the
forces in a compact organization to
face not the entente armies without,
but the forces of revolution within.
Bavaria's detection, however, must
prove seriously weakening, as the Ba-
varian contingent in the German army
is a large and important one. At best
Germany's situation is grave.

No Provisional Armistice.

> Germany's hope to secure a cessa-
ton of hostilities pending considera
ton Of the armistice terms was
promptly and properly dashed by Mar
shall Foch's refusal. It would have
been unwise and imprudent to grant
that concession. It is, Of course, most
desirable that the shedding Of blood
be stopped as quickly as possible. Ac-
ceptance of the German proposal might
save many lives, but, on the other hand,
it might be only the cause Of encour-
aging the German high command to
further devices for delaying the final
decision. It would check the momen-
tum of the allied armies, which are
now sweeping on, pursuing the re-
treating enemy, capturing important
strongholds and strategic positions and
rapidly making a complete military
victory in the field an imminent pos
sibility.
Marshal Foch's refusal to grant a
provisional and intermediate suspen-
sion Of hostilities was the most merci-
full act. It made for quickening of
the peace process. It was fully JUS
titled by Germany's long record of de-
ception. There can be at this time no
confidence in the enemy's good faith.
He has forfeited all claims to belief
and only the most positive physical
safeguards against further treachery
and deception will suffice now.

On the Road to Spa.

A white fagged motor car speeding
over French and Belgian roads bear
ing the courier who conveys to grand
headquarters the terms of armistice
submitted to Germany, and returns
from it with the further instructions
requested by the armistice commits
sioners, carries with it the fortunes and
lives Of multitudes. It is the symbol
of Gefmany's defeat.
How different the expectation of the
German emperor and his military ad-
visers when q little more than four
years ago they started on their west
ward march through Belgium. Over
that same road covered by the courier
speeding from Foeh's headquarters to
Spa and return the gray-clad 1egions
marched, burning villages, slaughter
ing civilians, committing nameless out
RACES, looting, violating every law.
They we're headed for Paris. In six
weeks they expected to have crushed
all opposition in the west and con-
quered France, then to turn and at
their leisure deal with and destroy the
Russian armies and so master Europe.
Yesterday a French general an
nounced to their representatives the
terms upon which they might lay down
their arms and sue for peace, terms
which though not yet disclosed are
known to be tantamount to complete
surrender. When that road from Spa
to the French border was filed in Au-
gust, 1914, with rapidly advancing Ger
mans that same French general was
an obscure subordinate corps COM
mander, a quiet student Of military
strategy of whom few had ever heard
beyond France. Yet it was he who
at the supreme crisis in September
four years ago delivered the audacious
stroke of attack in the center when
both of his TANKS were in retreat, that
completely broke the German plan of
battle and saved France. 1t was he
who 100 days ago, foreseeing the Ger
man plan for a supreme assault de-
signed to complete and carry to sue
cess the offensive started March q,
launched his own counter blow and
thus began the action which, as he
then said, would continue and which
has continued to victory.
Gone are the German hopes Of con-
quest so highly held by the gray
hordes that poured westward from Spa
in the summer of 1914. The great Or
ganization which directed them is now
falling to pieces. The empire whose
eagles they bore upon their helmets is
in chaos Their name is anathema
throughout the world.

Reconstruction, which will soon be in
hand, will present problems Of the ut
most gravity and widest scope. A
start, at least, must be made; and
much will depend on how the start is
made. If made unitedly and conf
IDENTIFY, it should 60 far; if confusedly

both party and country calls for union
and a common purpose.

In Union Is Strength.

The republicans will control the next
Senate by the slenderest of majorities.
This imposes a duty which should be
plain to all. There will be no room
for factionism. If anything is to be
accomplished, the majority must get to-
gether and stay together. Division will
spell disaster-disaster at once, and
disaster later.
In tho House tho margin will be
wider. Forty-odd is . very eomforta-
bic majority. But, even with that, the
republicans win not be able to afford
any serious squabbling or pranking.
There, as in the Senate, they must pre-
sent a united front, first in the matter
Of organization, and then in the matter
of measures.
Il is recent and familiar history that
an overindulgence in factionism cost
the republicans their control of the
government. Tho Taft administration
began with everything rose-colored.
Years more Of power seemed assured.
But ne sooner had the new Congress
organized than factionism appeared;
and it soon did heavy damage. The
row over the revision Of the tariff re-
suited in the election in 1910 of a
democratic House. Thus the party lost
prestige for the campaign Of 1912.
But even that loss could have been
repaired Il the obvious lesson had been
learned and applied. With the gain
thus made, the democrats did not i'm
provo their opportunity. Had the re-
publicans counseled together in a spirit
of Cancellation and compromise, a
united front in 1912 would have car
ried the day.
They did the ether thing. They
FLASHED over the personalities Of Taft
and Roossvsft, made greater bfunder
than in 1909 svsr the tariff, and open
ed fanks for the democrats to march
through 10 victory. Since then they
have been in the minority.
Now is their chance. So far q the
