LET FOCH DECIDE.
PARIS DEMANDS
Military Should Announce Condi-
tons of Suspension
of Arms.
COMMENTS ON GERMAN NOTE
Some See in Reply to Wilson Hope of
Germans That 1t Will Result In
Cleavage Between Allies.

Paris, Oct. 14.-"Let them address
themselves to Marshal Foch," is the
consensus of editorial expression in
Paris newspapers over the reply of
Germany to President Wilson's queS-
lions.
The reply is considered here to indi-
cate that Germany's diplomatic front
is as flexible as her military front.
Some of the commentators find the
reply SO Worded as to show the hope
of the Germans that it will result in
cleavage between the allies. General
La Croix in the Temps says: Seer
manys acceptance of President Will
sons conditions is an avowal Of de-
feat. Foch is the sole judge from the
military point of view and will know
how to exact the necessary guaran-
tees and what territorial occupations
must be imposed"
Almost all the newspapers express
similar views.
In addition to recalling Bismarck's
ruthless methods in the 1871 armistice,
it is pointed out that when the Ger
mans in 1914 sought to secure Frances
neutrality Germany was not willing
to accept Frances word but demand
ed to be permitted to occupy Toul and
VeTdun as a guarantee.
IN it's earlier survey of the reply
the Temps says:
sThe form of the reply is submits
sive. Germany admits our victory.
Let us rejoice. But the formation Of
the reply is crafty. Germany attempts
to dodge all the consequences of her
defeat. Let us beware. In appear
ance Germany accepts President Will
sons demands. In reality she intro
duces two restrictions which annul ev-
elything.
.She accepts President Wilson's
points, but as bases, not as conditions.
10 accept conditions closes debate; to
accept bases opens debate.
''Ihe pretense that the present Ger
man government has been formed
through agreement of a great majority
OF the reichstag," the article continues,
''says nothing. The same thing was
said after the formation of the Hert-
ling ministry. The Hohenzollern re-
gime has only changed it's label
La Liberte says: ''Our military com
mand alone is qualified to decide the
measures to be imposed"
Germany has lost the war;" says
L'Homme Libre, Premier Clemenceau's
newspaper. sShe has replied and not
replied. BY the single solitary fact
! that she desires to engage in confer
ences over an armistice she proves
that she is in urgent need Of a suspen-
sion of hostilities. She asks cessa-
ton of hostilities as an admission that

j But why the limit? Why
should the man who makes 1898
a year be exempt from the tax
simply because he failed to annex
that odd dollar He may be far
better able to spare the money
than the man who earns $1,000 or
even $500 a year.
Getting right down to the gist
Of the matter, isn't any limit
arbitrary and unjust? That de
ponds entirely upon the light in
which we view the matter Of tax
alton. If we regard it as a bur-
den, then perhaps we should set
limit under which no man should
/ be asked to share in it. But is
taxation entirely burden?
Isn't it rather one Of our great
est privileges that we be permit
ted to share in the maintenance
Of the government that protects
us and makes us what we are?
If we would go deep enough
into this quesiotion Of taxation we
might discover that the aloofness
with which many Americans view
their government arises largely
from the fact that they have been
made to feel that they sustained
j no realr citation to that govern
ment; that it is an institution for
which they are in no way respon-
sible and to which they owe none
but negative allegiance.
Americans might well begin
thinking Of a universal income
tax. 1t may come, and sooner
than many Of us suspect.

Vice President Marshall, says
elections should not be held dur
ing the war. But just because
the Vice-President is thoroughly
satisfied with the incumbent Of the
office, is no reason that the peop-
lie are satisfied with all incum-

Any fool may criticize. But
criticism is not a remedy; that re-

THE INCOME TAX

AS evidence Of the radical
change in sentiment in this coun-
try within the past few years, we
would cite our readers to the evo-
luton Of the income tax. But a
few years ago the man who would
have proposed an income tax in
Congress would have effectually
signed his own political death
warrant. We had come to believe
from more than a century's ex-
perience that indirect taxation
was the only kind Of taxation for
which the American people would
stand. Even in our state and
municipal governments personal
earnings play no part in the
scheme Of taxation and even per
sonal property is largely exempt.
But as the expenses Of govern
ment mounted to unheard-o of fig
ures, it became evident that di-
rect Taxation would have to be
resorted to and the incomes of the
land were selected as the best
able to bear it. This tax was al
first very light and only placed
on very large incomes.
Gradually the limit has beer

would receive US, to explain to him that
his purposes in the war are our pur-
poses.
The American Army is entering into
action in France. and its part will be
growing one. Nevertheless, America
has a greater role than that of it's
Army. The spirit Of the entente allied
peoples must be continually supported
and refreshed by the daily conscious
ness Of the justice Of our aims. The
minds of the people must be filled with
ideals.
president Wilson's part can be
of the American Army. BY his inter-
national diplomatic action in support
of his ideals-that is the supreme part
which America has. President Wilson
can become not only the leader of
American democracy, but the leader of
