PEACE BY SUBMISSION.

Through the sending of comnnu- nication to Secretary of State Ians- ing asking him to use his influence with President Wilson to secure an immediate armistice on all fronts and the commencement of peace negotia- lions. while similar appeals have been made to the entente nations for their support and approval, Count An drassy. the new foreign minister of Austria Hungary, indicates tnat the dual monarchy not only recognizes the handwriting on the wall but is actually on it's knees asking for the ending of the war
 The only interpretation which can be made of this is that Austria. real- izes that it is beaten, that it cannot hope to overcome the opposition of the allies and that it is desirous Of end Ing the terrible conflict at the earliest possible moment for the purpose of preventing conditions which are al- ready bad from becoming decidedly worse.
 The debacle as the result or the last Austrian offensive was a revelation to that country The allied offensive in France and Belgium has served to in . crease that awakening, while the success in Macedonia and the with drawal of Bulgaria, preceding the pres ent allied drive against Austria, blasts the last vestige of hope which that country had. It sees tine impotency of Germany and 1t knows its own con ditions, It pleads for peace but it should understand that it Is due for nc favors and that it's aims can be ac- comphshed only by submission to the military forces.

WE WANT NO GERMAN TOYS.

There can be little surpr>se that there has been raised strong opposi- ton against the acceptance of that shipment of 70 tons of German nads toys in this country, or that one inn porter has refused to accept such goods which were consigned to him
 This country has no need for Ger man made goods. It has been able to get along nicely without them for a. long period of time and if certainly does not want them now. Even the children for whom they may be in tended might be expected to rebel against being asked to receive them much less play with what has been manufactured by that country which has shown no scruples against baby killing.
 There may be no justified complaint against the steamship comrany which brought the goods into the country for it can be expected to transport what is licensed, but it is a pretty sit uation when such goods can be brought out of Holland and other goods which gre wanted from Bel gium via Dutch ports cannot be for warded because Germany threatens to sink any vessels engaged in such transportation.
 The toy making business has been developed 4n this country sufficiently to take care of our requirements. Ii jr certainly no time to give prefer ence to German made goods and the best thing that could be done under the circumstances would be to send them back. though we could turn them ever to the alien property custodian or wait until Germany is able to send for them

In taking note of the influenza. epidemic with its manifold sorrows which are to some extent alieviat- ed by nelplessness and service it would be well to give a thought to the nurses who have rendered and still are doing splendid work. They have a difficult task, one not often
 appreciated, and they are attending to their duties in "a brave, ceurag- eous and helpful manner. Without them infiiction would be much more
 serious and heartbreaking than it

Guarding The American Base.

Correspondence of The Associated Press):
 Hydreairplanes constantly watch and guard this great American Naval Base in France and the American shipping approaching or entering it to prevent attack by submarines One of the planes lay on the water ready to start seaward as The Assoc iated Press correspondent visited the harbor today. It looked very light and flmy for this desperate work and it's gray body gave it the appearance of giant moth settled on the water.
 Overhead, 1000 feet up swung a huge, long shaped balloon from the basket of which a naval officer and a sailor peered through marine glasses.
 ''They are on the look k-out for sub marines, said the escort. "Their chief purpose is to report the where abouts of submarine, and the de- stroyers then do the rest in forcing it under water. Even if submarines ae off this port. they are practically helpless. if we can keep them under water. It is only when they come to the surface that they can launch their torpedoes with full effect. Tor pedoes fired when the craft is under water may lack direction to make 1 them dangerous. So that. after all the problem for the destreyers is to ] keep the submarines under water, as we'll as to destroy them"
 On shore scores of hydroairplanes were ranged in two vast l1angars and ! there were sheds for the balloons

WHY REPUBLICANS ARE NOT
 WANTED.

When Colonel Roosevelt spoke be- fore the New York Republican club lhis week he laid much emphasis on the fact that President Wilson in re- convening politics just before cleo ton, after he had some mou-rs pre- vious declared politics adjourned. had referred to the republican leacers as 9ro-war but administration. and therefore asked for the election of none but democrats.
 By such an attitude Colonel Roose- welt holds that He means that when the war department was administered with utter iuefficiency they investi- gated the matter ard insisted upon efficiency.
 'He means that when they found that nothing effective was being done in sEipbuilding they insisted that the work should be sDeeded up.
 "He means that when they found that ss0000O.000 had been spent for airplanes and yet that not an airpiane mad reached soldiers at the front they insistea that our soldiers should get he sirplanes for which the people flad paid.
 The entire ofense of the republi- ',an leaders in Mr. Wilson's eyes is that they have demanded that ineffi- ,iency, waste and extravaganza be fernedied."
 It cannot but appeal to the voters of the country that if for no other than these very reasons the re- Iublicans should be elected. It is for the interest of the war. its proper and speedy ending and the in- terest of the country that the repuao- hcans should be in congress. They are needed there 10 counteraet the in. fuence of such democrats as Kitchir and Dent and 10 make the United States congress "a congress of straight out Americans and not a congress ot rubber stamps"

 The freight in this case was as curious as the rolling deck, for it consisted of B enormous Mogul lo- cpmotives. all set up and ready to move, and with their tenders coupled With the deck rolled back, locomo- tiTes and tenders were picked up by giant cranes and swung around to the nearby quay. Very soon these same locomotives just out o1 lne bowels of ship, had steam up and were puffing toward the front.
