The Beauty Of Truth.

Only that which has character Is
beautiful. t
Character is the essential truth OF
any natural object, whether ugly or
beautiful; 1t Is even what one might
call a double truth. for 1t Is the inner
truth translated by the. outer truth; 1t
Is the soul, the feelings. the idea, ex-
pressed by the features Of face, by
the gestures, and actions Of human
being, BY the tones .of sky, by the
line Of a horizon.
Now, to the great sartist1 everything
In nature has character; for the un-
swerving. directions of his observation
searches out the hidden meaning Of
all things.
There Is nothing ugly mart except
that which offers mo outer or inner
truth.-R0din.

AMERICANS ONE GREAT IDEA
Happiness Has Principal charrn--.The
People Are the Most ldealistic
and lmaginative.N

"The Americans are the most ideal
istic and imaginative people In the
world, and the most prosaic, because
like Wordsworth, the most prosaie OF
poets, they believe In happiness, and
happiness to them as to Wordsworth
means mems sana In corpore sano;
every one efficient In the tasks Of mod
ern life, the least heroic Of doctrines.
Il met a young American poet, hand
some, and besides elated by winning
some prize or other for poem. he
said to me In his arrogant way that
poetry is a by-produet Of life. Why,
said, It Is life ITSELF 4 don't agree
with you, was all he condescended to
reply. This young man expressed the
American idea.
II think the English dislike OF the
cries, etc, through their long history
is because Of their poetical minds ana
their preoccupation with personality
and Its freedom.
"The taste for scenery has this ad-
vantage over the taste for human ra-
ture; the heart is not bruised. Yet
since scenery Is never absurd as are
poor mortals, neither is there laughter
nor genial pity. We love scenery
principally because the feelings It cre-
ates are tranquil and easily controlled
SO that we can enjoy our full measure
Of self-content; dealing with human
nature, the poet cannot be the snpe-
rior person nor can he be proud

Bernhard bitterly complains that
Prince Maximiian neglected tho op-

ready to discuss with France the fate
Of Alsace and Lorraine. and with Rus
sia the question of border provinces.
He says this omission confirms the
view that the new government means

and in the meantime the German
armies in the West are being subject
ed to increasingly hard blows from
Marshal Foch's forces -- blows which
are adding to the difficulties of the
German High Command in extricating
their forces from an already serious
situation.
The fact that American Ambassador
Sharp in making a personal investi-
CATION of the havoc wrought by the
Germans in their forced retirement
from French and Belgian territory has
led to the belief that it is the purpose
of the State Department to fully sup
port the enormous claims for damages
which Germany must meet as a condi-
tion of peace. So far the American
government has not indicated dis
position to join with the Entente AL
lies in making a threat to destroy Ger
man cities or towns in retaliation for
every such community destroyed by the
Germans in France and Belgium, but
MIR. Sharp's Investigations might be
regarded as also indicating a purpose
to join in such representations should
the facts sustain the press reports of
the extent of the German atrocities.
President Wilson turned his atten-
ton to-day to the battlefields where
are being driven back to their own
soil. He walked over to Secretary
Lansing's office at the State Depart
ment and sent for General March, who
appeared with huge military map of
the West front.
The conference lasted only the few
minutes required for the chief of staff
to show the present battle lines and
point to the advances of the victorious
which are making inevitable a German
retreat on a great scale.
Military men are vastly pleased over
the Presidents refusal to even discuss
an armistice while German soldiers re-
main on invaded soil anywhere, thus
very fatty replying to that phase of
Prince Maximilian's overtures, al
though the note dispatched yesterday
was in the form of an inquiry.
The President is known to be ready
to act without delay when the German
Chancellor has answered the pointed
questions asked in that note.
Senator Chamberlain, of Oregon.
chairman Of the Senate Military Com
mittee, expressed the opinion to-day
that the Presidents inquiry in response
to the German peace proposal was quite
as effective as if he had bluntly pro-
posed unconditional surrender.
1T must elicit reply" said the Sem
ator, (which in the very nature of
things will disclose whether or not the
German government was sincere in the
original proposition for peace negotia-
tions. l am inclined to believe that the
German answer will disclose her abso-

Representative Ferris, of Oklahoma,
chairman of the Democratic Congress

statement saying for the President to

would have enabled him to say: 81 have

WASHINGTON, Oct. 9.-The Presi-
dents failure to reject summarily the
peace proposal Of the German govern
ment was severely criticised to-day by
Clifford Pinchot, who has been abroad in
numerous capacities since Americas 3
entrance into the war. Mr.. Pinchot
said:
Yesterday, Tuesday morning, ali
America was for peace by victory. Our
people everywhere had but one answer
to the haiser's peace offensive, and
that was unconditional surrender.
Yesterday morning the Kaiser and
the military clique knew that discredit
and defeat were staring them in the
face. There were three possible ave-
nues Of escape-military, dip ,omatic
and political-but they were possible
only on condition that Foch's relent-
iesS hammerlng could be stopped.
Yesterday morning all America
Knew that Foch's marvellous offensive
