editorial article published this morning.
dealing with President Wilson's appeal
for votes, is n searching and timely dis
cussion Of the Presidents latest politi-
cal move.
This adjournment OF politics subject
of which We hear SO much and see SO
little. has reached a stage where 1t justly
commands the attention OF all serious
thinking Americans.
Heretofore have steadfastly re-
Trained from discussing the internal af-
fairs OF our nation. being OF the impress
sion that President Wilson's statement
was to be taken literally. l have as
sumed also that he included all polit-
ical parties.
The evidence that his statement did
not apply to the Democrats seems to be
multiplying so rapidly that there Is no
reason for further silence on the subject.
The public owes you a vote of thanks
for the immediate attention which you
have given TO this question. and take
pleasure in commenting you for your

The President Explains One OF HIS
Fourteen Principles to Senator
simmons,

The first manifestation >of anxiety
in the White House to allay the ap-
prehensions now naturally excited
throughout the country by Mr.. VIII
soS's partisan pronunclamento Of
Friday last appeared yesterday in
the form of letter from the Presi-
dent to Senator SIMMONS. Mr.. Will
SON explains, or attempts TO explain.
what he meant on January s when he
included among his peace terms this
principle, or provision: THE IRE
moval. So far as possible, of all eco
nomic barriers, and tile establishment
OF an equality of trade conditions
among all the nations consenting to
the peace and associating themselves
for its maintenance"
The President now tells Senator
SIMMONS that his call for the re-
moval, as far as possible, of all eco
nomic barriers and the establishment
Of an equality of trade conditions"
meant only that any tariff estab-
lished by any nation SHOULD apply
equally TO all foreign nations; that
there should be no discrimination
against some nations that did not
apply to Others"
That Is to say, II ~ understand
him, he meant only that there must
be no punitive tariff legislation
against the nations which are now
our enemies. He denounces the con-
struction which has been put upon
this item of his fourteen principles
as Il partisan attempt ito inject the
bogy of free trade, which Is not in
volved ut ALL"
oThis explanation or qualification
of the Fourteen Principles address
would be more impressive II 1t were
not coupled with the extraordinary
statement that he, the President, "of
course meant TO suggest no restric-
ton upon the free determination by
any nation of its own economic
policy"
Free determination The Ameri-
cans who do not agree with President
WILSON in his known views on the
subject of the tariff will dwell with
curious If not with scovnful interest
upon the words free determination
as used here by him.
For only three days ago he told
them, in substance, that there must
he no free election of members Of the
great legislative body charged by the
Constitutions with the nations self
determination of its tariff policy and
other policies, for the reason that
such characterization, If 1t went
against his partisan views, would
lend aid and comfort to the enemy
that Is to say, would be treason.

Proposals Of American Autocracy.

To THE EDITOR OF THE SUS--Sir: You
must be aware without anybody's tell
ing you of the distinction OF the edito-
rial article In Saturdays Sun on Mr.
Wilson's appeal to faction and bid for
absolutism. But It is n satisfaction to
congratulate you on that splendid piece
OF work. One would have to look far
BACK IN American journalism to find a
political article so lucid. so competent
30 true to the authentic principles of the
republic.
You correctly perceive that the chief
gravity of Mr.. Wilson's letter does not
lie In the arguments by which he would
Justify using his prestige as President
to secure his supremacy as leader OF a
political sect
The great matter and the great men,
ace consist In this. that he makes a
plain effort for just that absolutism

TO the polling booth on November 5, shall
give my answer to Wilson's desperate
partisan appeal to his fellow country
men--and will have q lot Of congenial
company-by voting for the Republican
candidates for the Senate and House OF
Representatives from top to bottom,
thereby doing my utmost to put Kitchin
and his kind where they can do no fur
Their harm TO the country.

'FrOm Hamburg and Bremen, TO
HOboksn; the Tirpitx and
the Zeppelin.

We know what America thinks of
Germany. We know, or fancy we
know, what Germany thinks Of Amer.
lea. A not entirely academic ques-
ton, one which has bearing on the
future relations OF the two nations, is
this: Does Germany know exactly
what the outer world, and specifically
the people Of this country, think of
the Germany that has revealed itself
in the last fifty months?
1t is tho obvious answer to say that
Germany must know; that she has
undoubtedly been able to obtain,
through the American newspapers
reaching neutral European, countries,
Il sharply outlined picture of the alb
horrence which Americans feel to.
ward the German violations of the
written laws Of nations and the some
times unwritten laws of humanity
toward, for instance, the creators OF
the hideous policy Of frightfulness at
sea; toward the bombing Of unforti-
fed towns. With this concept of
what Germany ought to understand
crediting her, II not with being well
Informed, at least with nomal ability
b make a guess at what reaction has
occurred In civilized countries, let us
examine a paragraph from an article
contributed by +. X. HARRIS to that
conservative monthly the Nineteenth
Century and After The title Of the
article is "Germany's Bid for Sea
Power" and it Is compiled from evl.
IDENTIFY authentic sources. The para.
graph which bears on the question we
have raised is as follows:
"A glance at her shipbuilding pro-
gramme will show the scale upon which
Germany is working. and the various
types Of vessel may indicate her tnten-
tions. The Hamburg-Amerlca Line Is
building the Bismarck t5S,Oo0 tons)
which will be the largest liner in the
world the Tirpitz. a turbine steamer OF
30, 900 tons: and three other vessels
each OF 90. 900 tons The North German
Lloyd placed orders at Danzig for tive
steamers each OF $4,000 tons. but only
one Of these Is available; the Munchen
and the Zeppelin are each $4,000 tons
and twelve other vessels OF 10000 tons
are already in various stages OF COM
pletion."
What can be the state of Il German
mind that sees coming up the North
River. TO dock in the stream where
once the Lusitanla lay, ship named
for the father of German naval
piracy and murder? What can be IN
the cell of O. German brain that Wis
ualizes the welcome. in any port OF
civilization, vessel named after the
aerial engine that slaughtered the
women and children of little English
towns?
Is 1t entirely that Germany does
not, cannot understand civilization
and It's attitude toward her villain
les? Or is it that she does under
stand us and that We do not under
stand her. that we do not realize that
she Is still shameless and defiant, ever
in defeat, still Glorying in the black
trlumphs OF an unauenchable hate?
