Originates Hun Offensive Of 1918.
Gen. Ludendorfr was reported to have
been the originator of the plan of the
German offensive of 1913 The plan
called for offensive operations on the
western front which would split the
British and French armies and compel
the allies to beg for peace before the
strength OF the American Army could be
available to any great extent. 1t was
planned that IL the offensive failed then
Germany would resort to a diplomatic
campaign in order to obtain peace.
Since the death of the German often
sive and the successful offensive Of Mar
shall Foch. reports from Germany have
been to the effect that Ludendorn and
Won Hindenburg were-losing their pop

according to these advices, and the
emperor was compelled to accept Luz

Secretary McAdoo last night is

Presidents appeal, declaring that
the only way to secure continued
unity of command in America is to
return a Congress in full sympathy
with the Presidents views, policies
and ideals.
Before America entered the war;" Mr..
McAdoo said. "the allies had suffered
repeated reverses because there was
no unity of command. They were di-
dided among themselves in author
ity. The first act of the President
was to cor eomnel unity o OF command

been winning victories. and a trium-
plant conclusion Of the war is in

What Senator Penrose Said.

From Senator Penrose:
In his recent speeches the Presi-
dent has appealed not to a partisan,
but to a national spirit. He wants
Pennsylvania to remain the keystone
state for the republican party. 1t is
difficult to overestimate the supreme
Importance of sustaining the Presi-
dent of the United States and the
republican party at the present criti-
cal crisis in our foreign relations"

Statement Made by Mr.. Lodge.

From Senator Lodge:
But there is one question on which
wish to say a few words and that
seems to me to overrule all others
1t is whether we shall stand by the
administration and the President at
this juncture. If we give a victory
to his political opponents we say not
only to the United States, but we
say to the world. we say to the
Spanish commissioners in Paris that
the people of the United States re-
pudiate its result and repudiate the

From former President. Harrison,
pleading for the election of re-
publican Congress:
IF the word goes forth that the
people of the United States are stand
ing solidly behind the President the
task of the peace commissioners will
be easy, but If there is a break in
the ranks-if the democrats score a
telling victory, if democratic sena-
tors. congressman and governors
are elected-Spain will see in it a
CLEAN of hope; she will take q fresh
hope and a renewal of hostilities,

to US what we have already Won.''

Roosevelt's 1898 Statement.

The first quotation was from Col.
Roosevelt. identified as republican
candidate for Governor Of New York
in 1898:
Remember that, whether you will
it or not, your votes this year will
be viewed by the nations Of Europe
from one standpoint only. They will
draw no fine distinction. A refusal
to sustain the President this year
will. in their eyes. be read as a re-
fusal to sustain the war and to sus-
tain the efforts of our peace commits
sion to secure the fruits of war, Such
a refusal may not inconceivably bring
about a rupture of the peace negotia-
tons. It will give heart to our de-
feated antagonists; it will make pos
sible the interference of those doubt
full neutral nations who in this strug-
gle have wished US i'll.
You could get the benefits of the
victories Of Grant and Sherman only
by re.electing Lincoln. and we will
gain less than we ought from the
war IT the administration is not sus-
tanned at these elections"
