What We Fight For.

The high aims of America and
her allies are we'll expressed in
President Wilson's greetings to
France on Bastile day:
As France celebrated our Fourth
of July, so do we celebrate her
Fourteenth, keenly conscious Of
comradeship OF arms and Of pur-
pose Of which we are deeply proud.
The sea seems very narrow to-day,
France is SO close neighbor to our
hearts. The war is being fought
to save ourselves from intolerable
things, but it is also being fought
to save mankind. We extend our
hands to each other, to the great
peoples with whom we are associ-
ated and to the peoples everywhere
who love right and and prize JUS
tice as thing beyond price, and
consecrate ourselves once more to
the noble enterprise of peace and
justice, realizing the great eoneep-
tions that have lifted France anll
America high among the free -.

many at the end of hostilities in the
view of leading allied diplomats and
military attaches here today.
They pointed to the provision for
policing Armenian villages in the
Turkish armistice as Indicating what
would be necessary In the case OF the
Central Empires.
Seizures OF food, provisions, oil and
other necessities have begun in vari-
Gus parts of Austria, according to un-
official dispatches here Every indi-
cation is that rival factions will grab
everything they can lay their hands
on and that complete economic chaos
will result-especially in Austria
Hungary.
Neutrals and allied countries alike
would suffer from a,reign OF anarchy
in either Austria or Germany, diplo-
mats say and the nee .ssity for in
terVention to restore order would be
much greater than it was in Russia
Diplomats were optimistic today
and everywhere the feeling was ex-
pressed that the end Of the war Is
at hand. In quarters where at least
another year OF lighting has been
looked fer, the view has now
changed and the end is seen as very
near. Neutral diplomats see Ger

ON EVE

with the elections to be held Tues
from Washington today Of most Of
such members of the House and SEN
ate As have remained until this time.
When the. Senate convened today
there was scarcely a corporaFs guard
present A large majority Of the
Senators have gone to their home
States to participate in the campaign
and to vote
The same is true Of House mem
bers. Even the majority OF the mem
bers living on the Pacihs coast have
departed.
Those that remain here are chiefly
members of the two houses who do
not have contests on their hands or
who are not candidates in the com
ing e1ections. Few gentlemen with
hot nights in the election contest are
remaining on duty at the Capitol.
A number of the Western and
Southern members who have no Sc
rious fights in their own bailiwicks,
are campaigning in close Eastern
States, easily reached from Wash
ington.
With respect to the outcome Of the
fights for control of the House and
Senate, while each side is making
claims, the fact Is there issthe utmost
uncertainty. Astute politicians Of
both parties when not talking for
publication admit this IL q highly un-
certain year, when conditions are hard
to gauge, and that they are not bank
ing on anything.
