UNCONDITIONAL SURRENDER"

What will be the answer to Bulgaria
plea for an arrnistice2
1t should be: surrender unconditional
~, and we will guarantee the personal
safety Of your people, observance Of inter-
national laws covering property rights IN
an invaded country, and will formulate the
permanent peace terms which you must &C
cept in accordance with the general terms
outlined by the allies.
It does not seem likely that the Bulgarian
plea for an armistice is part Of the German
peace offensive, or that it is dictated by
anything but military necessity and the
certainty that Bulgaria is about to be de-
vastated. With Strumnitza taken and all
the strong border defenses in allied hands,
there is nothing to keep the allies from
marching to Sofia as rapidly as they can
cover the ground. 1t is just possible that
the Bulgars are simply sparring for time
to reform their armies and defend their
capital, but it is far more probable that
they have accepted the inevitable and are
willing to make the best terms possible.
None of the allied nations is eager to
wreak vengeance on Bulgaria-great
though her crimes have been. Her treat
ment of conquered territory has been on
a par with Turkish and German conduct,
and the Bulgarian government has out
lawed itself just as Germany has done.
Despite this, no allied nation will advo-
cate useless, wanton destruction of Bull
garian cities or slaughter of the Bulgar
population.
But Bulgaria cannot win for her allies
by an arristice the immunity she can no
longer give them by arms. The occupa-
ton of Bulgarian territory is a military
necessity to the allies to cut off Turkey and
to give aid to Rumania. Bulgaria no longer
is able to prevent that military occupation
by force Of arms She should not be per-
mitted to prevent it by any armistice or
peace treaty. But allied occupation is diff
ferent from German occupation as is prov
en- by Belgium and Palestine
The answer Of the French commander
and the instructions given him, indicate
that the allies intend to treat the plea for
an armistice from its military standpoint
only, and that is the only way it can be
sanely treated at this time. The best that
Bulgaria can hope for is safety Of life and
property for her citizens and the promise
that her claims will be given just and fair
consideration at the peace table. She
should have that much and nothing more
in return for complete and unconditional
surrender, and the rehabilitation of all
her military forces.

great government lottery next Monday will
be almost meaningless.
The questionnsirre system has robbed
the lottery Of it's Importance, and it will
have scarcely more than perfunctory In
terest. -us.. .a-ala-s,.
A year ago it was awaited with breathless
interest, for every man was eager to know
the order in which he was to be called.
Under the QUESTIONABLE plan, each man
is placed in class, and it is generally I'M
derstood that only those in class one and
between the ages of 10 and 81 are likely
to be called within the next six months.
In fact it is very unlikely that any others
ever will be called for active service.
Those who are in class one between these
ages, therefore, are the only ones affected
by the lottery, and with them it will not
decide whether or not they will be called,
but will merely determine the time.
The QUESTIONABLE removed the element
of chance from the draft law, and substi-
tuted efficiency.

NO REASON AT ALL

"But I can't buy any more Liberty
Bonds; I haven't my last ones paid for
yet"
Which isn't any reason at all.
Figure out the difference between the in
terest you will receive from the bonds in
your allotment and the interest you will
have to pay if you borrow money to buy
them, and see how cheaply you can be
patriotic.
4 If the difference in interest for one year
equals what the hunblest private in France
is sacrificing monthly in the difference be-
tween his government pay and what he
could earn at home in these war times,
your allotment is far above the average.
Just putting loose change and savings
into government bonds and War Savings
stamps doesn't entitle any man to medals
for loyalty. The only loyalty worth while
is one that welcomes sacrifice.

UNTERMEYER AND sCHwAB.

Z Samuel Untermeyer agrees with Charles
M Schwab that the war will bring an aris-
#tocracy based on service and not on wealth
Mr.. Schwab's remarks at New York
banquet were misinterpreted to represent
him as saying that union labor would con
Etrol America after the war. Mr. Schwab
promptly corrected this Interpretation, and
stated that the workers would control
=inen and women who work with their hands
sor their brains.
# Mr.. Untermeyer has worded the same
thought little more happily in a Liberty
loan speech at Chicago, in which he pre-
#tlicted an era of justice after the war in
which the public utilities and natural re-
sources would revert to the people; when
child labor would be abolished and all its
products barred; adequate workingmen' s
compensation laws would be passed unem-
ployment be ended and unjust monopoies
and combinations suppressed.
E Probably Mr.. Schwab and Mr.. Inter
meyer are right We hope they are. The
world has nothing to fear from an aris-
.aocracy--if you choose to call it that--but
why not democracy of men and women
who work with their hands and brains
.zgF hat we fear is b bureaucracy Of men who
work with their mouths, such as we have

- 1t usd to be the fashion to wax quite senti-
mental over princes who spurned their crowns
to follow their hearts.
It was SO ineffably noble Of the prince to
marry for love-. We used to have very roman
tic novels written about such heroes. They were
great material for the swashbuckling school Of
drama.
But Crown Prince Carol Of Rumania is so
confoundedly practical it is impossible to wax
sentimental over his escapade. He welded Miss
Cecile Lambring, the daughter Of a Rumanian
major, and quite frankly says the king business
has gone to pot anyway, and he prefers to keep
the young as his wife even if he has to
renounce any claims he may have to the throne.
Not knowing the exact state of the Rumanian
exchequer, and lacking copy Of Bradstreets
report for the city Of Bucharest we can't express
an opinion OF Carols financial Judgment, but
can't help but admire his good sense as shown
in his estimate of the job Of king these days.
Our idea, Of zero in employment just at present,
is being king OF Bulgaria or sultan Of Turkey,
owning brewery in the United States. Our
advice to Carol is to get an agency for a good
American tractor for the province of Dobrudia
and live happy ever after.

The Grand Forks Herald pays the following
tribute to Archbishop Ireand
In the death of Archbishop Ireland there
has been removed from the scene of his
earthly activities a great churchman, a great
American. and a great man. John Ireland
was all of these. He was born to be a lead
er Of men, and during his long life his i'm
fuence was a. power for good in the church
of which he was so long an honored preate,
citizen, and in the lives of the thousands of
men and women whom he cheered and in

Archbishop Ireland was distinctively a
statesman. His was mind that grasped hui
man affairs ia their larger aspects and to
which the great work OF social service made
a powerful appeal. Chosen to a position OF
leadership in a religious body noted the
world over for its conservatism, he was
broad ana liberal Ia his application Of its
doctines, and, with spirit ever youthful he
kept pace with the march Of events, and
both welcomed and aided In the work of
progress No man was more worthy Of the
hollors which came to him, and OF the respect
and affection In which he was held than

are talking Of keeping Tacoma
Clean" when working girls in
this town who have no homes and
therefore rely on rooming houses

en- to do wrong, or else starve
themselves to be able to pay the
exorbitant prices that people who
own these houses are now asking.
A girls average wage in this
city Is $40 week. A year ago
a Hrl earning these wages in a
store in this city secured a room
on the fourth floor Of an old
wooden structure for So a month,
the rent seeming high then, but II
was steam-heated.
Just q month or SO ago, when
prospects began to look brighter
for Tacoma, the rents were raised
one dollar q month. Then the sue

more, then this month the girl was
notified that the rent was raised
81 month more; now bringing
her rent to SIC a month; where
It had been So before, for a poor
ly fumished room on the fourth

Marry a Shopgirl
EDITOR THE TINES:

EDITOR THE TINES:
At the Milwaukee carshops
became very much Interested In
watching those girls work, a-tak-
ing a mans place with their over
alls and jumpers on.
And most OF them are pretty, let
alone good looking. They look
more like little girls than grown
women.
Well, what | was going to say
is that 90 years ago my wife now
was a girl working in the car
shops in New York.
A few of us young men thought
we would advertise to make the
acquaintance of those shop girls,
as a person living in a city does
not have much chance to get &C
quainted with whom they wish.
So we advertised and the girls
answered. After a courtship of
six months the shopgirl l admired
became my wife, and she has prov
ed to be one of the best house
wives and loving companions.
II is one step | have never re-
GREETED. Those girls on the tide
flats will make some men happy
If the latter find way to get
acquainted.
They are determined in their
way and they would be deter
mined to make good wives.
They can't always work in car
shops and they deserve good
homes.
Now, young men, wake up and
get acquainted. Put a little ad in
the paper. II you and she are not
satisfied, meet another, and you
will find the marriage is just as
satisfactory as IL you had known
each other for years.
There are a lot of good young
men that get good wages and
would like a good wife, but they
are afraid to venture. They can
not go wrong on these working
girls.
