Are We Letting Down?

Millions of good Americans are getting
the idea that the war is about over. Or
that peace will soon come 1t is insid-
ious, involuntary propaganda. 1t flour
ishes by suggestion. 1t is doing much
harm.
Every one was saying week ago or
fortnight ago that probably Germany
would be coming along with another
peace drive. But it wasn't going to make
any difference. There was only one con-
ceivable end of the war, and that was
expressed in the language of U. S. Grant.
And the peace drive wasn't going to
make any difference.
1t has made difference. You have
only to look at the loan totals to see that
1t has made a tremendous difference. If
crafty, artful, resourceful Germany had
planned the thing deliberately, to cripple
the loan and weaken the American
morale, the plain truth is that it would
hardly have done better job.
Germany is taking us in. It is time
to restate some very familiar facts. Be-
still left hundred million Germans,
counting out all the Slavs and Magyars.
That is population as large as that Of
the United States, with tremendous re-
sources and enormous productive capac-
ity. Sir Eric Geddes testifes to the fact
that to-day they are making U-boats
faster and better than ever. They still
have larger capacity for steel produc-
tion and all the things that go with it
than all our European allies put togeth-
er-England and France and Italy and
all the rest combined. And they are still
far outside their own borders. They still
have huge territories in the East from
which at least some supplies may be
drawn.
A very wise observer has from the be-
ginning said that the war would begin in
earnest when the Germans were back on
German soil, That will be the supreme
test. Every ten miles they are now be-
ing driven back costs tremendous ef-
fort. An army that has held half of Eu-
rope at bay for four years may not go to
pieces in few weeks. 1t is we'll to re-
fleet that from Gettysburg to Lees sur
render was year and eleven months.
And consider the difference. The South
was blockaded, shut in, exhausted, pov-
erty stricken. Where they got the
powder and the bullets with which to
hold the armies of Grant and Sherman
SO long seems even yet d mystery They
held on, with scanty food almost with
out supplies of clothing, and not know
ing what the morrow would bring.
The door is closed on Germany's hopes
of victory. But Germany, desperate and
at bay. facing enormouA indemnities to
make reparation for it's crimes. may
prove as resourceful a foe as the South
in the Civil War. Let US make no mis-
take

Words With Germany

In the Presidents response to Ger
many there is nothing about surrender.
It has five points, which are these:
I'd No armistice, unless the Central
Powers consent to withdraw their
armies to their own borders.
(g) Door ajar to peace discussions,
provided the Germans will act in good
faith and mean what they say.
(s) Will the Imperial Chancellor say
in what spirit the Imperial German Gov
ernment accepts, "as basis for peace ne
xotiations," the fourteen peace conditions
laid down on January s?
ID Does the Imperial Chancellor
speak for those who created him or for
the people?
90 Correspondence on these vital
points invited.
"1t is not reply" says Secretary
Lansing, 'but an inquiry"
A great majority Of Americans, and
especially nearly two million who are
cover there" will wish, as we wish, that
it had been not an inquiry but reply,
and a reply in four words-"We demand
unconditional surrender"
What have we to inquire about?
What more do we need to know about
Germans? We inquired what they meant
by sinking the Lusitania.
Prince Macmillan Of Baden will un-
doubtedly say that he speaks from the
that the Imperial German Government
means what it says and will act in good
faith. He will say again that it accepts
the conditions of peace laid down by
President Wilson-accepts them cas-
basis for peace negotiations"
What then?
- 1t is possible that the Imperial Chan
cellor will say for the Central Powers
that they consent to return to their own
borders, and then renew their request
for an armistice.
That would have to be answered at
length.
We are now involved in a correspond
cnce with our enemies on the subject, not
7. of surrender. not of peace, but of peace
negotiations" on the basis Of President
Wilson's programme.
Our conclusion is that President Will
sons inquiry" was intended by him not
to express the state of mind in this
country coward a faithless people who
have no word TO pledge for anything
and can no more be trusted to keep an
arulistice than to respect white flags
and Red Cross insignia, but to make it
impossible fer the Imperial German
Government to capitalize its insincerity
in terms Of morale by saying to the Ger
man people: "We have asked in vain for
peace on President Wilson's own condi-
tions."

Money for the Railroads

The Federal government took over
the railroads as war necessity and in
order to make railroad facilities more
efficient for war needs. 1t was inevita-
bic that this should more or less i'm
ply that the government would insure
the railways with sufficient funds with
which to make the improvements need

to permit the French people, after their
colossal sacrifices, to feel again, as they
felt in 1871: that the world had aban-
doned and betrayed them. For all the
future, as in all the past, the French
people must remain the first line defence
against German barbarism, and those
nations now allied with France cannot

storing French territory.
The German hopes to disorganize his
enemies by getting them into conflict
over their peace terms. He hopes tn

MEAT SHORTAGE
NEXT IN ORDER
Packers Instructed Not to In
crease Their Prices above
Normal Margin.

Washington, Jan. 2s.-The fact that
, the east faces temporary meat snort
age because of transportation difn-
culties was disclosed by the rood al
ministration tonight In Instructions
| sent to packers not to increase their
price above q normal margin OF COST
| and to distribute their available sup
plies fairly among their customers
Wholesalers and retailers received vir-
tually the same instructions.
To make sure that its orders are
observed the food administrator TO-
night sent the following telegram TO
State food administrators In all states
| east of the Mississippi:
There is likely to be In the next rev
days and perhaps for some time tnere-
after temporary scarcity Of fresh meat
especially in the East. This is not due
to lack Of supplies of livestock, but to
difficulty in transporting the meat. The
normal tendency Of such scarcity would
be to advance tho prices to retailers ana
consumers out Of line with costs OF pro-
duction. This must not happen.
THE food administration has instructed
meat packers not to sell at prices repre-
! senting more than normal average mar
| gin about cost and to distribute such
meat as is available, fairly among Gus
toners. You are directed to enforce this
order.
You will also inform the public of this
action Immediately through the press, the
local food administrators and otherwise.
You should also give notice In similar
way to retail dealers in meats and substi-
tutes therefor, that they must not at this
time charge prices giving more than q
normal average margin above cost. and
that they must distribute such meat as
is available fairly among their patrons
The food administration will on notice
from you direct packers and wholesalers
ont to sell to any retailer who Is proved
their cto have violated this instruction.
UNLESS the conditions in your State are
peculiar so that the statement would not
be justified, you should inform the public
that there will be little II any increase
in the prices of livestock or the cost OF
producing meats during the near future
and that any material advance In the
prices of meats is therefore unreason
able"
