AGE and War
Norman Hapgood in Leslie's.

Abraham Lincoln was 80 years old, and a
member of congress, when he wrote:
My old, withered, dry eyes are full of tears
yet In the same year he wrote: Il suppose
/ am now one of the old men; and declare on
my veracity, which | think is good with you.
that nothing could afford me more satisfaction
than to learn that you and others of my young
friends at home are doing battle in the contest
and endearng themselves to the people. and
taking stand far above any have been able to
take in their admiration"
' We are now in time more critical than
Lincolns Why is it that old men are conduct
ing the nations in this emergency? Would one
not have said that after four years of unexann,

efficiency as never before, men of IS to As would
have risen to the highest places? What do we

Unconditional Surrender
From the Congressional Record of October 10

Senator Pittman of"Nevada, having accused
Senator Lodge OF Massachusetts, OF censori-
ously crticizing the presidents note to Ger
many, and having insinuated that In doing so
he represented the republicans in their attitude
of opposition to the presidents policy, the sena-
tor from Massachusetts made reply, from
which these paragraphs are taken:

there was any party advantage IN 1t. apd do

the president would only have written a note
like the Baltimore speech, like the reply to
Austria Hungary, and not series OF queries,
and had given neither me nor anyone else any
thing to criticize or find fault with
Mr.. President the best diplomatlsts in
Europe at this moment are the armies of France
and Italy, of England and the United States.
The best men to carry on discussion with Ger
many are Haig and Pershing and Diaz, and
over all the great commander, Marshal Foch,
These are the negotators with whom | would
leave the question of peace. They will win it,
They will win it on German soil. They will
bring back the peace which the whole American
people desire, for they desire, believe, ,incon-
ditional surrender, and unconditional surrenders
are not to be obtainable by clever discussions
and exchanges of notes. They are won by
armies in the field.
Mr. President, as republican-and know
| speak for all about me--let me say we have
given, we shall continue to give full and whole
hearted support to the commander-in- chief Of
the army and navy. We give it to him because
he is there by election of the people and our
belief is in law not men. We have been brought
up on the old doctrine that this a government
OF laws and not of men, and as to the man placed
at our head at this great hour, not only as
president but as commander ill-chief, the law
has placed him there and he has our support,
not for what he can give u.s. not for what he
can do Tor us, but because he is the head of the
nation under the law and the constitution of
the United States, the head of a nation in time

we bear on both sides of this chamber equally
The higher allegiance is to the country and the
cause. To that all else must yield, and to that
all else will yield in the end The republicans
stand for unconditional surrender and complete
victory, Just as Grant stood. They mean to
have dictated and not negotiated peace
That is my own belief here, deeper in my

Allie Well Stuck To Comes True

A favorte phrase of medieval and later Ger
man poetry is German Truth" The world
has learned in the last few years what German
Truth is. One of its most accomplished and
industrious opponents is the kaiser. With vari-
Gus of his accomplices in high place. military
and civil, he has been continually suffering
that Mis- war, long planned by Germany and
determined upon finally at the Potsdam con-
ference, is war of self-defense. That is why
it began with the invasion of Luxembourg and
Belgium, and has been almost continually
waged on foreign territory. Now, when disaster
comes upon the German armies on every front,
when Honest Michel, already thrown into
goosehesh by those commandments from the
air which he regards as so proper and edfy-
ing when they are directed at English or French
noncombatants, has to be coaxed out of the
state of panic caused by mmitigable defeats,
TOO pafpable and constant to be hidden or pal
lated any longer by the official oracles of false
hoods; now, when the Germans are looking
forward to dose of their own medicine, and
fear for themselves the destruction and desola-
ton which they have wrought in so many lands,
the kaiser for the one knows not how many
thousandth time impresses upon the German
tribes that this is "a defensive war"
After four years Of constant repetition, what
was so long monstrous falsehood is becoming
the truth.-New York Times.

Party of Glorious Traditions"

Every now and then some democrat, "intox-
icated by the exuberance of his own verbosty,"
as once was said of an eminent vocal erupter of
that persuasion, reminds his hearers that his is
party of glorious traditions" Especially are
these fellows fond of comparing Woodrow Will
son to Abraham Lincoln.
Among the glorious memories of the demo-
cratic party are that from 1850 on it fought
Abraham Lincoln at every turn. In 1864 it de-
clared the war failure and sought to bring
about peace that would confirm secession.
The knights of the Golden Circle is one of
its treasured nheritances
Memories of the soup house days of the
early COS cluster thick and fragrant around its
PARTY temples, still devoted to free trade
Another tradition of radiant effugence is
that in 1898 the democrats in congress voted
against allowing Mckinley funds with which to
conduct the war
In more recent days we find its name en-
twined with the McLemore resolution, the
Hitchcock-Lobeck embargo bill, the Shaen-
berger amendments to the selective draft law
and similar proof that in all its days it has not
changed its nature.
All its GLORIOUS traditions summed up
stamp it as the party of obstruction and not of
progress. Its headlight was on behind in 1860
and has never been relocated.

GERMANY's ANSWER NO ANSWER.

The latest note from the German govern
ment, replying to the virtual ultimatum OF Pres
ident Wilson, interpreted as demand for I'M
conditional surrender, does not meet the re-
qurements. In no sense, generally or spe-
officially, is it responsive,
It's main element is found III the closing Sec
tons, which announce that the constitution ,ot
the German confederation has been so changed
as to provide for a responsive and responsible
government Such change necessarily would
take place before the presidents demands could
be met, but to say that the present government
possesses "the confidence of majority of the
Reichsag" and therefore fills the bill, is to in
suit our intelligence The present Reichstag
was elected seven years ago; its term of Office
has expired but it has been continued by i'm
perial rescript. and its majority has been over
whelmingly in favor of the war; and even now
is completely under control of the junker ele
ment To take its word for anything is equva-
lent TO taking the word of the kaiser.
1t will be difficult to believe Foreign Secre-
tary Solf is serious in asserting that the offer
OF peace and an armistice has come from gov
eminent which is free from any arbitrary and
irresponsible influence" To add Erzbergerand
Schiedeman as ministers without portfolio to
the congregation of war lords who made up the
imperial cabinet will not materially change its
nature, and certainly should not deceive the
world outside.
Promises to respect passenger steamers were
made in 1915 and broken; offers to desist from
devastation sound hollow in light of what has
happened In fact, the note contains nothing
but what might have been expected from gov
eminent that is hard-pressed and sees in an
armistice possible escape from utter defeat in
the field. 1t holds nothing that may reasonably
change Americas resolution TO win the war.

The Fight on the Home Rule Charter.

That there are hidden forces opposing a
home rule charter for Omaha regardless of its
contents or character is disclosed by the appeal
to the courts for an in junction to keep the ques-
ton of its adoption off the ballot. The basis Of
the action is wholly technical with reference to
the time elapsing between publication and the
date of election and the alleged failuke to de-
post twenty-five copies along with the original
copy when filed with the city clerk The pro-
posed charter, itself, as explained by the charter
commission, does not make single conscious
change in the existing law governing the city
except as it empowers the council to increase
the pay in police and fire departments to meet
the pressure of war conditions.
Plainly, the animus behind the attack is not
because of defects in the charter, but because
OF e.home rule feature of its enactment Some
people or interests do not want the people OF
Omaha to control their own charter making
and deprive the solons at Lincoln OF their long
exercised and much valued prerogative of legis-
lating on our purely local affairs. This oppos-
ton to the present charter may also give a hint
at what killed the original proposal Of home
rule charter masked behind two or three minor
features that could easily have been later
amended If the people saw fit to change them.

Twenty-Five Million Bondholders.

When the unwashed orator mounts his soap
box III the hereafter, and noisily raises his note
of protest, complaining of the putocrats and
bloated' bondholders, he will be including 25,-

the record put up by the fourth Liberty loan
Four million FIVE hundred thousand bought of
the first loan, 100000 took part in the second
loan, 100000 went into the third, and now it
is estimated that more than 100000 have sub
scribed to the fourth 1t is fair to presume that
each of the purchasers in the preceding loans
bought bones in the fourth, but allowing for
that, the record shows an increase bordering on
100000 in purchasers from the first to the
fourth, and that 100000 buyers came in this
time who were not represented before. On the
estimate made by the Bankers Trust company
OF New York, of 23,500,0OO family groups in the
United States, the showing is most satisfactory,
as it plainly indicates that every family in the
union owns at least one bond. More than go

Old Idea IN NeaU Dress

The league OF nations to enforce peace is
modern phrase, but the idea is centuries old.
Henry ", back in the sixteenth century con-
ceivedl plan for the federation of European
states, with a central senate and an international
army and navy supported by all the states. the
ultimate purpose being the settlement of inter-
national disputes by judicial process The
great work OF Hugo Grotius, in the first part of
the seventeenth century work that is the basis
Of international law, looked toward a world
court; and later William Penn. the Quaker, ad-
socated a congress of the European nations.
One of the strongest pleas ever made for world
peace was by Kant, Germanys greatest phioso-
pher, century and quartz. ago. Rants plea
is the more remarkable in that he declared that
one of the essentials OF a lasting peace was that
the nations entering into such agreements would
leedAto be democracies. This is in entire har-
mony with President Wilson's declaration that
this war has become a peoples war, that the
people must define the terms that shall end it
aud the conditions under which the world in the
: .ufure may preserve peace.
The Holy Alliance, designed to keep the world
1t peace after Napoleons downfall. was league
Of soveregns instead Of peoples and despite its
loiy name and protestations, is of unsavory
memory. There is little hope that league OF
nations will ever secure permanent peace unless
be the expression OF democracy.
A league OF nations would not be complete
without Germany, but it cannot be the German
government as at present constituted. The mil
tarist imperialism of Germany must be de-
stroyed The Hohenzoern must 60. When
he German people create new government
which shall be responsible to the people there
no reason why that government should not
be received into the league for the preservation
and enforcement of peace. This does not mean
that Germany will not have to suffer and to pay
Tor the crimes it has committed-Lesie's
